we are destined. HAP.
1t seems. to see him bear off an Amer
lean bride. The young man lost the tip
of his finger while trying to cut off the
end OF cigar in a machine. which is
a somewhat sorrowfui thing To befall a
duke. That, al least. i the way
Lahouchere put 1t in speech he
made to parliament the other day. al
though it does appear odd that COM
paratively trifing incident-for the
dukes finger. Labouchere assured the
country, is now all right-should be
made the intellectual masterpiece of a
parliamentary speech.
However. if these Marfborourhs come
here it will be a great thing for the
Newport season, and what with the de-
lightful uncertainty hanging over the
prospect OF the appearance OF the prince
OF Wales al that popular resort is cal
culated TO make the coming summer
there very memorable

A Literary Man. sandwich.

A novelist was asked recently bya friend
which one Of his crcations be was most
fond Of, and his reply illustrates new de-
velopment In his character.
"Woll," he replied, Il think that upon
the whole my Rothschild sandwich is the
best thing i ever did"
Your whaty" queried the friend.
"My 'Rothschil1 sandwich Yes,
have invented sandwich he replied
"and it's good one even IL / do say it.
You take muffin or tea cake. Cut IL into
two slices. Butter each slice with pure,
unsalted butter. Then place upon the but
ter of each slice n thin layer of Roquefort
cheese. Upon one of the slices lay half n
dozen olives dripping with their oil, and
place the other slice on top of them. Then
eat the result, and II you don't say the
pleasure of eating It Is worth the headache
you are likely To have next morning, you
ore not true epicuro."
But why do you call this the 'Roths-
child sandwich, instead Of the - sand

Because 10 Is far richer than I ever
hope TO be, " replied the author -Pearson's s

LIQUID AIR.
II May Take the Place of Oxygen In Sub
marine Navigation.

Liquid air may play an important part
In submarine navigation. IL was believed
n fow years ago that oxygen would solvo
the problcn Of furnishing a reasonably
wholesome atmosphere 10 submarine boats,
and a submarine craft equipped with oxy
gen retorts instead OF compressed air re-
torts remained many hours under water,
while its occupants played cards, ate "a
hearty meal and did other things that had
hitherto beon done only above the surface
Of the water. The advantage Of oxygen
over compressed air lies in tho fact that
less OF tho fori~e< than OF the latter is
needed in submarine navigation, and there
fore n less weight OF metallic retorts has
90 be carried. In the seemingly successful
experiment the oxygen was permitted to
escape in small quantities into the atmos-
phcre OF the vessel when the conduct OF n
small flame indicated the presence of too
much carbonic acid and consequent dearth
of oxygen. Little has been heard of oxy
gen equipped submarine craft since the ex-
pertinent, and now liquid afr has arrived,
perhaps to furnish exactly the thing need
ed rather than a makeshift substitute for
q normal atmosphere.
Since London company has been form
ed for the purveying Of liquid air, it looks
as II the proper apparatus for handling it
had been provided, and suggests the early
employment of the liquid in submarine
navigation. There seems the possibility
Of a submarine craft that shall get rid of
its impure air by some means yet 10 bo in
vented, and substitute for IL the needed
amount Of pure ai- slowly converted from
the liquid TO tho gaseous form. An ingen-
ious but totally unscientiflc person has

The Singular Manner In Which Indians
Obtain Their Mounts


Obtain Their Mounts.
A curious method OF obtaining horses
Is practiced by some of the Indian tribes.
1t Is called on tho plains smoking
horses" II tribe decides to send out q
war party, the first thing to be thought of
Is whether there are enough horses at
hand to mount the warriors. II, as Is Oft
en- the case. the horses Of the tribo have
been stolen by other Indians. they decide
60 smoke" enough horses for present
needs and to steal a supply from their enc
mies mt the first opportunity.
When this decision Is reached, runner
Is dispatched to the nearest friendly tribe
with the message that ON certain day
they will be visited by number OF young
men, forming a war party from his tribe,
who require horses. On the appointed day
the warriors appear, stripped To the waist
They march silently To the village of their
friends, seat themselves In n circle, light
their pipes and begin to smoke, at the
same time making their wishes known I'm
q sort of droning chant.
Presently there Is seen, far out on the
plain, q band Of horsemen, riding gayly
caparisoned steeds fully equipped for war
These horsemen dash up to the village
and wheel about the band of beggars sit
ting on the ground In circles which con-
etantly grow smaller, until, at last, they
arc rs close as they can get to the smokers
without riding over them. Then each rid
er selects the man TO whom he intends to
present his pony, and as he rides around,
singing and yelling he lashcs tho bare
back Of the man he has selected with the
heavy rawhide whip until tho blood Is
seen TO trickle down. IL one OF the snok-
ers should ninch under the blows, he
would not get his horse. but would be
sent home on foot and In disgrace
At last, when the horsemeu think their
friends have been made 10 pay enough in
suffering for their ponies. each dismounts,
places the bride In the hand of the smok-
er he has selected, and ut the same time
hands him the whip. saying:
Here, bcggar, Is pony for you to ride,
Tor which have left my mark"
After all the ponies have been presented
the "beggars" are invited TO grand feast,
during which they are treated with every
consideration by their hosts, who also load
them with food sufficient for their home
ward journey. The braves depart with full
stomachs and smartin2 backs, but happy
I'm the possession of their ponies and IN
anticipation OF the time when their friends
shall be In distress and shall come 20
smoke horses with them. Philadelphia
