An Indian Grandmother.

From an educated Sioux Indians
recollections of his childhood, pub
lished in St. Nicholas, the following
is taken: This grandmother, whose
name meant Sweet Wild Singer, was q
patient woman; and also remarkably
industrious and active; although she
had already lived through fifty years
of hardship, she was still wonder to
the Young maidens in the art of en-
bordering with beads and porcupine
quilts. She showed no less enthusiasm
over Hakada than she had felt when
she held her frst-born, the boys
father, in her arms. Every little at
tention that is due to a loved child
she performed with much concern
and devotion. She made all my little
and scanty garments and my tiny
moccasins with great deal Of taste.
It was said by all that I could not have
had more attention had my mother
been living. She was great singer.
Sometimes, when Hakada wakened
too early in the morning, she would
sing to him something like the follow
ing:
:'sleep, sleep, my boy; the Chippewas
Are far away-are far away.
Sleep, sleep, my boy prepare to meet
The foe by day-the foe by day!
The towards will not dare to fight
Till morning break-till forming break.
Sleep, sleep, my child, while still It's night {;
Then bravely wake-then brayely wake"

me. While she worked it was. her
habit to suspend my cradle from

erel healthy children. AS is usually
the case, the mans remaining senses
have become much quickened since his
misfortune, and he manages to earn
quite sum every year by weaving
baskets and doing odd jobs with his
hands in the way of mending and re-
pairing, which people who are aware
of his need send to him. His great
delight is fishing, and he spends hours
along the brooks and streams of Brit
tany, waiting for the fish to bite and
is more successful in his efforts than
are many sportsmen who have all their
senses.
Altogether there is not happier
man in all France, SO the people who
know him say, than this man with
mask, whose sole am bition at present
is to become the proprietor of one of

sion, and would be able to smoke the

The IS Second Sampson"

Richard Joy, who died May 18th,
1742, at the age Of sixty-seven, and liz
buried in the St. Peters churchyard,
Isle of Thanet, Kent, England, was
known throughout Europe as the
''Kentish Hercules or the Second
Sampson" When but a youth OF sew
enteen years he was invited to London
by the King to give an exhibition in
remarkable feats of strength. Among
the feats of his mature years was that
of breaking, with his hands and feet,
rope with tensile strength OF
thirty five hundredweight and the lift
ing of 1900 pounds. The following Is
copy of his epitaph:
Herculean hero Famed for strength,
At last lies here his breadth and length,
See how the mighty man is fallen!
To death the strong and weak are all one !;
The same judgment doth befall
Goliath Great and David Small.

The American Buffalo.

When the first white settlers landed
in Virginia the bison ranged east of
the Alieghenies almost to the sea
coast, westward to the dry deserts ~
ing beyond the Rocky Mountains,
northward to the Great Slave Lake and
southwark to chihuahua. 1t was the
beast of the forest and mountains, in
the Alleghenies no less than in the
Rockies, but its true home was on the
prairies and the high plains.
Across these it roamed hither and
thither, in herds of enormous, of in
creditable magnitude; herds so large
that they covered the waving grass
land for hundreds of square leagues,
and when on the march occupied days
and days in passing a given point.
But seething myriads of shaggy
named wild cattle vanished with re-
markable and melancholy rapidity be-
fore the inroads of the white hunters
and the steady march Of the oncoming
settlers. Now they are on the point
Of extinction.
Two or three hundred are left in
that great National game preserve, the
Yellowstone Park, and it is said that
others still remain in the wintry
desolation of Athabasca. Elsewhere
only few individuals ezist-probably
considerably less than half hundred
all told scattered in small parties in
the widest and most romantic and in
accessible portions of the Rocky
Mountains.
A bison bull is the largest American
animal. His huge bulk, his short,
curved black horns, his shaggy name
clothing his great neck and shoulders,
giving him look of ferocity which his
conduct bellies. Yet he is truly grand
and noble beast, and his loss from our
prairies and forests is as keenly re-

wild life as by the hunter. Forum.

How Hale Got to Camp.

During the war Edward Everett
Hale went to the front to visit one of
the generals in command. The last
part of his journey to headquarters
was on steamboat, where Hale met
an officer, major, who was also going
to headquarters. At first the major
was very friendly, but when he learned
that Hale was also going to head
quarters he began to fight shy of him.
Evidently be did not want a ''civilian"
on his hands on the long night ride
from the boat landing.
When they reached the landing Hale
found horse, and after a hard ride
through mud and brush he reached
Headquarters. After he had had his
supper, and as he was sitting talking
with the general, the major rode up.
He had lost his way more than once,
his horse had fallen with him, he was
covered with mud and in the worst
possible temper.
"Why, MAJOR" said the general,
"where have you been? MI. Hale has
been here two hours
The major glared at Hale and
grunted: elbow did you get here?"
ssOh," said Hale quietly, Il fol-
lowed the telegraph wire"
Nobody fought shy of him after
that. philadelphia Record.

Boiling Water Not Always Hot.

''Cold boiling water, indeed! Boil
ing water is the hottest kind of thing.
Don't I know? Haven't scalded my
fingers more than once with water from
the teakettle?"
James is right, and yet he is wrong.
Boiling water is not always very hot
water, in spite of his painful expert
ence.
This is the way it happens:
When water boils ordinarily it is be-
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles of the water, forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the ali
which is contained in them. This is
done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the
water has become hot enough to boil
it can get no hotter, because the air
escapes as fast as it is sufficiently heat
ed to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the parti-
cles and set free the air bubbles which
are confined in the water, SO it begins
to boil before it becomes very hot. It
ought hardly to be called cold water,
perhaps, but it is certainly far from
being as hot as ordinary boiling water.
This state of things is found on all
high mountain tops, as the atmosphere
grows weaker and its pressure less as
one ascends.
A gentleman travelling at great ell
ovation in the Andes Mountains put
some potatoes in pot of water over q
hot fire. The water began to boil al
most Immediately, but the potatoes
did not cook. All the afternoon and
all night the water dubbed and boiled
but still the potatoes were not cooked.
The boiling water was not hot enough.

Matchmaking Among Indians.

The Commissioner of Indian 4 fairs,
Mr.. Browning, is determined to prove
to the Indians that marriage is not a
failure. He has discovered t1at most
of the red men under the bureau at
the present time have been induced to
believe that it is not the proper thing
to get married, and for this reason, in
the mind of the Commissioner, the
numbers of the red men are decreasing
fast. It is not certain but that the
Commissioner, in the interest of pre-
serving his bureau, was forced to give
some study and attention to the mat
ter of matchmaking among the people.
The Commissioner has labored over
this matter very industriously, and he
has evolved scheme. He proposes to
prove to them that they can get in IA
vor with the Great Father if they will
join in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The scheme is novel one, and it is
the opinion of the Commissioner that
very soon the leading duties of the
Indian agent will be to act as marry
ing agent for his colony.
The reward for getting married i S
striking marriage certificate. It starts
with heavy sheet of paper with red
border. Then the ''United States of
America" is in blue, while the "Our
Glorious Eagle has not the savage
look, but a sort of wedding-day smile,
and the 'tE pluribus unum" and the
American flag are displayed with an
intensity that would be cheap at any
price. The eagle presides over mar
rage certificate in the usual form.
The agents are to be instructed to
make an exhibit of the scheme, and to
use their influence in getting the In
dams to come to the conclusion that
they will be out of luck if they refuse
to get married. The agents are to show
the certificates, which have been pre-
pared with the hope that they would
have the ''catchy' appearance, and to
possess one would be the ambition of
the average Indian; and this would
last him until after the ceremony was
performed. BY the fash of the Ger
tifcate it is hoped to prove that mar
rage is success.-Kansas City Jour

How Snakes Swallow.

The formation of a snakes jaws is
also peculiar and thus enables it to
swallow bodies much larger than it.
self, or than it seems to be. A small
snake, found in Africa, where this
tribe of animals abounds, is known as
the egg eater, an9 one of them, less
than twenty inches long and only half
an inch in apparent diameter, can
easily take into its stomach hens
egg. This is done by the formation of
the head, and especially of the jaws.
The bones of the head are not sutured
together, but are loosely articulated
by elastic bands. Thus the jaws can
be extended to an amazing extent,
considering the apparent size of the
head. A snake less than two inches
in diameter at the neck can swallow a
rabbit, and by taking plenty of time
smaller ones will manage to get out
side of a large frog. And to hold the
prey during the process of slow deglu-
tition-a time of horror, probably, to
the unhappy victim-the teeth Of the
snake are hooked.
In this process of swallowing, the
snake secretes a glary saliva, and by
gradually drawing the jaws and neck
over the prey, as one would draw a
glove on the hand, and by the help of
the hooked teeth holding all it gains
by each effort, in time the prey is
finally swallowed. The writer has
watched this process in the swallowing
of large frog by small snake dur
ing more than an hour, and when the
frog had disappeared down to its last
quarter, the animal kicked continually
with its hind legs in struggles to get
free. Snakes always take in their
prey by the head, just as the hunter,
and, doubtless, for the same reason,
draws deer to camp by the fore legs
and never by the hind ones, SO that
the hair may not cause intractabI
friction.-New York Times.
