There Is a remarkable paucity Of
information on the subject Of face
painting in the books that purport to
tell OF the manners and customs OF
Indians. While its origin has been
lost In the mist OF ages, there Is not
line or mark painted on an Indians
face but has meaning, full and
complete. Not only Is this true, but
the marks are Interchangeable and con.
slant in the tribe from generation to
generation, and are laid on with ut.
most eXactness and greatest Of care.
The markings are OF two kinds, tribal
and individual. All tribes have pc.
culiar markings for war paint, or for
any ceremony that Is to be perform.
ed, and when an Indian has finished
the tribal decoration he places his
own private mark In a conspicuous
place. This Is his family totem or
its representative.
When was with the Sioux 1t was
my fortune to witness the ceremonies
attendant upon the application of
war paint. A band of Crows had
driven of a number of horses OF the
Sioux, and the Teton chief decided
that it called for retaliation. The
men who were to take part in the raid
assembled about the fire and sang
and danced until late in the night.
A large amount OF red ochre had been
obtained from the fcrruginous clay Of
the bad lands, and after this was
mixed to proper consistency the
chief dipped quantity with his left
hand and carefully smeared his face
with it from his eyes down, smooth
ing it evenly all over the lower part
of the face, leaving the forehead UNI
touched. As he did this he bowed to
the fire and said: "As the fire has no
mercy, so should we have none."
One by one the warriors stepped up
and went through this ceremony, and
then the chief placed u small patch
of mud under each eye, saying: "My
little grandfather Is very dangerous
as he makes his attempts. Very
close do ! stand as ! 60 to the at
tack" The ''little grandfather
means Il young buffalo bull, which
the Tetons believe to have been the
original progenator of the tribe.
When the buffalo enters into Il fight
he cores the earth and gets mud on
, his cheeks. Following the chief
, again, the other members of the party
put the patch OF mud OH their cheeks,
, repeating the formula, and then each
man took from his private paint
pouch u bit OF charcoal and painted

HUNTING WITH THE cHCrAH.
An Indian Sport More Than Two
Thousand Years Old,

The Century contains an article on
"Hunting with the Chetah," sport
which has been known for more than
1000 years. 1t Is still sometimes
practised in India.
The chetah, commonly known as
the hunting leopard, is taken, bound
in u wagon, to the scene Of the sport,
When his prey Is sighted and the
wagon has been brought sufficiently
near, the animal Is loosed from his
bonds. The following Is an extract
from the Century article:
In few minutes, that to our anx-
ious minds seemed interminable, We
managed to diminish the distance to
the requisite point, and again the
straps were liberated. The hood was
then slipped from the chetah's head.
He saw the animals ut once; his body
quivered all over with excitement,
the tail Strengthened, and the hackles
on his shoulders stood erect, while
his eyes cleaned, and he strained at
the cord, which was held short. In
u second 1t was unfastened, there was
yellow streak in the air, and the
chetah was crouching low some yards
away. In this position, and taking
advantage of certain unevenness of
the ground which gave him cover, he
stealthily crept forward toward Il
buck that was feeding some distance
away from the others. Suddenly this
antelope saw or scented his enemy,
for he was of like the wind. lie was,
however, too late; the chetah had
been too quick for him. All there
was to be seen was fash, rs the SUI
preme rush was made. This move
ment Of the chetah is said to be, for
the time it lasts, the quickest thing
in the animal world, far surprising
the speed Of race-horse. Certainly
it surprised all Of us, who were in
tently watching the details Of the
scene being enacted in our view. The
pace was SO marvelously great that tho
chetah actually sprang past the buck
although by this time the terrified

A wArER.spovr IN THE WAY.
Marrow cseaps o. Q Vessel In che
West Indies.


From an article In Scribner con
Piratical Seas") which describes .
merchants voyages to the WeN
Indies we make this extract:
We perceived to the right Of us tn.
dark clouds in motion ut q great dis.
lance, and under them q peculiarly
formed pyramid which seemed to
connect the clouds and the ocean.
During the space Of nearly half an
hour it approached nearer and nearer
toward us, in a direction precisely in
a line across our vessel. This was q
water.spout OF the largest class, and
caused much apprehension for our
safety. ] even heard our oldest sai.
lor, Hugh, who was ut the helm,
make use Of the following expression.
while the tobacco-juice was trickling
from the corners Of his mouth: II
have seen many a water-spout, but
I'll be bowed II ever saw one coming
SO straight on board as this"
During this half.hour We still re.
muined in u perfect calm, the water
spout bringing the wind along with It.
We did not spend our time In idle
conjecture, but endeavored II posi-.
BILE to avert the impending calamity.
1t had been stated that a sudden con.
cussion OF the air would break the
connection OF water between the
cloud and the sea, and so dispense

nately, however, my powder was in
my large trunk, slowed away between
decks in such n manner that every
effort to get ut 1t failed, and I lost
the opportunity to test the efficacy
Of this experiment. At length the
moment Of our trial drew near. Tho
water.spout passed across us few
yards ahead Of our bows, and was
rent asunder by our jib.boom, SO
that the great weight OF the water
fell on the surface OF the sea. Never
theless, the conclusion and turmoil
created by the bursting so close upon
us was so great, that our vessel went
spinning around for some minutes

We were completely immersed in Q

A Wealthy Church.

The Pittsburg Catholic says that
the Orthodox Church Of Russia Is so
wealthy that II could easily cancel
the national debt Of Russia, which
amounts to one thousand million
dollars, and hardly feel it. Its ways
of getting this wealth are unique.
One Is the sale Of consccratcd wax

Of Iiasan, In st. Petersburg, sold
during the last Easter season more
than 33, 600 Of these consecrated cs0-.

jeans room, and delivered her the
letter.
Dear Aunt Jean. At the first sight
of the handwriting she fell a-fainting
like an aspen leaf, and--well, when /
went back to Walter I carried an
answer to that letter. I don't know
what 1t was; not much, / know, only
few words; but Walter took them
to the old gentleman, and
Aunt Caroline had to 90 to bed. It
was too much for her to take in all
at once, 80 she didn't see what Walter
and I did. She didn't see the big
blessed old DR.. Fairfax walk straight
into the sitting-room where Aunt
Jean was, and take her into his
strong arms right there before us.
No. And she didn't see TIE light in
dear Aunt Jeans pretty blue eyes,
and the sweetest blush in her pretty
soft cheeks. Yes; that was the
trouble-the letter that never came.
Two proud, loving hearts kept apart
all those years.
The window blinds are not kept
down now, but there Is little gate
between the two yards and WE'LL
marked path. There are vines
climbing on both sides Of the wall,
clasping and kissing 1t in most low

And II this Is really Aunt Jeans
romance I think I might add that I
did not 60 home quite so soon as exc
pected, and hope you will excuse
