angry over deft tricks or unfair
methods so long as the perpetrator is
not caught in the act. If he is caught
he simply refunds his gains and is
laughed at for his clumsiness 1t is
probable that no gambling game among
Indians ever goes to an ending without
what a white man would call outrage
Gus cheating.
The players never get angry and
there is never any quarreling over the
games. Indians lose and win with
stoicism that is the envy of gentlemen
gamblers among the whites. l know
of an Indian who lost all his belong
ings, even to his wife and children, and
yet he got up with a smile on his face
and started out to steal enough from
some unfortunate white man or other
tribe of Indians to make up for his lost
fortune. Indians will sit all night over
game and sometimes three or four
games are going at the same time, the
excited onlookers passing from one to
the other and betting on two or three
games at once.
Two principals choose sides, or two
villages are arrayed against each other,
and then the fun begins. The opposi-
ton sides sit opposite each other in a
long double row. Between the rows
are spread blankets, upon which the
stakes are placed. The preliminaries
of the game consist of the decision Of
stakes, values and amounts It fire.
quently takes an hour to settle all the
points of stakes, and then the game
proper begins. A toss is made to see
which side shall hold the bone, which,
being settled, all is attention. The
center player takes small bone in his
hands and begins series of frantic
jugglings to deceive his opponents,
and then rapidly passes his hands to
the person on the right and then to his
left as if placing the bone in their
hands. Immediately the two go
through similar motions and apparent
ly pass the bone on to their next neigh
Dor. This is continued until the whole
line, sometimes composed of one hun
bred Indians, is a maze of waving
hands and arms, each Indian trying to
make the other side believe that he
holds the bone. Should one of the
watchers have reason to believe that
he can locate the bone he points and
Immediately the hand is held out. If
he wins the bone is passed across the
line and point is scored for the side
holding the bone and the whole thing
begins over again.
Should the bone be accidentally
dropped it counts point for the oppo-
site side, where the bone also goes.
The game consists Of twenty-one
points, and sometimes lasts two days
and one night without cessation. In a
game between a band of Utes and a
band of Navajoes near the southern
Ute agency in 1879 the Navajoes lost
their entire possessions, consisting Of
horses, arms, robes, tents, clothing and
large sum of money. They left with
not murmur, but an Apache raid on
q New Mexican town was reported
soon after, and that same band Of
Navajoes showed up at Los Pinos
agency within a month with a good
outfit

The first experiments in public with
the new gunpowder invented by M.
PAbbe Schnebelin and which has been
patented under the name of "Schnebe-
lite" have just been conducted by the
abbe at the rifle tutts at Nunhead. Fir
ing with government rifle and a gov
ernment bullet at range Of 100 yards,
the inventor penetrated 20 inches Of
timber, then a bessemer steel plate one
eighth inch in thickness, backed by four
inches of wood and lastly quarter inch
bessemer plate.
Very little smoke was produced, ana
that little was almost Immediately dis
PEELED. As test of nonexplosiyeness,
some of the granulated powder was sub
iected to the friction of pulverizin
mill. For conclusion, it was spread upon
an anvil and beaten with hammer, and
when a lighted match was cast into some
of it the powder merely burned rapidly in
a small blue flame. By the aid of spir-
it lamp and small kettle the abbe manu-.
factured some of the powder on the field
in little over five minutes, and after
the compound was dried it was fred with
every satisfaction. The cost of produc-
ton is averred to be as little as four
pence per pound.-Cardiff Western Mail

ParisInn Market Women In Politics.


From time immemorial the market
women of Paris, who go by the name o.
the danes de la halle, have occupied d
very important place in Partisan life and
in politics. Loud voiced as they are,
they have always succeeded in making
themselves heard by the government of
the day, and have not only invariably
succeeded in obtaining the ear of those
who control French destinies, but may
even be said to have influenced their ad-
ministration. Especially have they play
cd conspicuous part in all the revulu-
tionary movements. It was therefore
with certain amount of trepidation that
the military sentinels and police officials
on duty at the Luxembourg palace wit
messed the arrival there last week of a
number of these danes dc la halle,
decked out in holiday attire, but with
anger and determination plainly written
on their countenances.
In response to inquiries they informed
the ushers on duty that they were a
deputation come to pay an official visit
to the senate, which holds its sessions in
the Luxembourg palace. For few mo-
ments something akin to q general scare
prevailed, and it was only when it be-
came known that they had come to pro-
test against the action of the so called
"regrattiers," or market middlemen,
that the equanimity and peace Of mind
Of the denizens of the Palais du Luxem-
bourg were restored. Paris Correspond
