Perfect Through Suffering.
Sheriff of Bloun,sCouniy Tenn.

God never would send you the darkness
If hefslt you c)il b,ic tn 'ight.
But YOU would not cling to His guiding hand
If the way was always bright:
And you would not care to walk by faith
Could you always walk by sight.
IT'S true He had many an anguish
For your sorrowfu heart to bear.
And many cruel thorn crown
For your tired head to wear;
He knows how few would reach heaven at all
If pain did not guide them there.
SO He sends you the binding darkness
And the furnace of sevenfold heat;
It's the only way believe me,
To keep you close to His feet
For It's always SO easy to wander
When our lives are glad and sweet:
Then nestle your hand in your Fathers
And sing. il you can, as You, 60:
Your song may cheer some one behind yon
Whose courage is sinking low;
And well If your lips do CULVER
God will love you better 80.

The Price OF Amber.

During the last five years the price of
amber is said TO have been reduced in
America by at least two-thirds. The
reason for this seems to be found in the
fact that new process of melting
amber and molding it into shape has
been adopted, where before it was cut
from solid mass. The nodded amber
is stated to be less brittle and far more
durable than the cut amber, and in
consequence is in greater demand. BY
the new process, it is claimed, the
amber can be nodded into any form and

wooden Rails for a Florida Road.

The citizens of Avon Park and Iaincs
City, Fla, forty miles distant, have de-
cided, according 10 correspondent of
the Manufacturers Record, to build a
railroad with wood rails. which are
large enough to be laid so that they
will be half-imbeddcd in the sand,
without other ballast. They are to be
held in position by wooden pins two
inches in diameter and eighteen inches
long, while the ends arc connected by
plank couplcrs placed underneath and
held by pins Not pound of metal
will be used in construction of the
tracks. Most'of the rails" will be fur
nished gratis by property owners along
the right of way. The company be-
licvcs that in q few years the fruit,
vegetable and passenger business over
the route will pay for regular steel
rails, when the others will be used for
ties. A small steam dummy will fur
nish power for the road.

CRADLE OF INDIAN BABIES,
Queer Sacks In Which Papoosas Are
Nursed and Transportad

Quecr Sacks In Which Papoosas Are
Nursod and Transported.
When you go through an Indian camp
you can see red and green sacks stand
ing against the sides of the tepees, car
ned on the backs of little girls by means
OF blanket which is fastened at the
waist with broad leather belt, or be-
ing rocked to and fro by the wind in
the boughs of cottonwood trees.
Sometimes, if the camp is going on q
long journey in search of game or for
water or to escape a war party, two of
these stacks are fastened together by
stout straps and swung over the baci,
OF pony, one dangling on each side,
like the baskets ON pack mule. But
as rule the horses are left for the men
and boys to ride, and the papooses
are either carried by the girls or packed
away on ''travoise," which is the only
wagon the Indians have, and YOU will
think 1t very poor kind of u wagon
when you hear how it is made.
The larger ''travoiscs" are made of
two cottonwood branches and the
smaller ones of stout willow sticks
The two poles are crossed about quar-
ter of the distance from the small ends
and held in place with strong cords of
buffalo sinew; q foot or SO below the
joining a mat is fastened, reaching
from one pole to the other and firm
enough to carry heavy burdens. The
frame of the mat is one long willow
twig, which has to be soaked and twist
cd in shape while wet, and the mat ia
just a mesh of simply woven leathern
straps.
1t is strange sight to see camp
packed and ready to take up the line of
march. One by one in single file they
start away-the men and boys over
fifteen on horseback leading the way;
then the women and dogs dragging the
"travoises," and, Ice. of all, girls with
papooses on their backs, and little
hnlf-nakcd boys running along in Jog
trot, breaking line every now and then
to throw their balls or rob birds nest
half hidden in the thick prairie grass.

Not only is diamond cutting not
specially high paid occupation, but it
is one involving most humiliating
system of espionage to the worker.
Each man is held strictly to account
for the stones he receives on going to
work in the morning, and the count
has to be carefully taken when the I'M
finished work is turned In at night to
be locked up in n safe against the re-
turn of the workmen the next day
The possibilities of theft are great,

that an attempt to dispose of an unfin-

A Mfddle-AGed Man Contrasts 1t with the

when l was n boy, before the war"
said middlc-aged man to New York
Sun reporter, 'thc price of an oyster
stew in good, ordinary restaurant was
twelve and one-half cents. The price
has gradually gone up, until now in
good restaurant an ordinary stew costs
twenty-five cents. In the old restau-
rant there was cloth upon the table,
but this cloth, unless you happened to
find 1t when just put on, was very
apt to be frescocd with coffee stains.
There were catsup and vinegar, and
SO on, some of them, perhaps, in bottles
in caster. Perhaps the waiter gave
you pickle or two. The light was not
7ery bright. The waiter brought the
stew in an oyster plate, and as the hot
broth washed about little In the plate
as he carried it and set it down you
were afraid it might burn his thumb
But the oysters were good. Let me
pause to remark that the oyster is
something to be grateful for.
''To-day the table, without cloth,
perhaps, is of cherry or mahogany,
finely polished. For cloth there is
spread before you napkin of ample
dimensions and bright and fresh. The
pickle is chopped up celery, and very
good. You get two kinds of crackers,
and plenty of them, and q generous
portion of French bread. The but
ter comes IN o slightly little cone. The
table furniture is oil good-dishes,
glass, everything; the spread before
you is agreeable to the eye and the
whole scene is brilliantly lighted with
the modern incandescent electric lights
The stew comes in an oval dish that
rests upon plate; I don't like to eat
out of such dish so well as do ont OF
plate, but you know, at least, there's
no danger burning the walters thumb.
The oysters are good, the whole ar
rangement is away beyond the stew
of the war. 1t costs more, but arc we
not better able to pay for it? For gen.
eral get up and get, and dash and style
and comfort, the old stew couldn't be-
gin to compare with it. The modern
oyster stew is one of the many things
that we do an everlasting sight better
than we did"

Experiments Which Show That Therc Ic
Such Thins.
We have heard of the language of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
OF ants; but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations which lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating notion Of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr.. Field carried on his experiments,
which he has described in an article in
the Fortnightly Review, in the fish
ponds of Mr.. Andrew, at Guildford,
England. Those ponds IRE full of trout,
which, at the time when Mr. Field first
visited them, were so little accustomed
to being troubled that when he threw
baited hook into the water all the
trout in sight-a great number-rushed
eagerly upon it.
He caught one, and removing it from
tho hook, threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in n freshly baite6 hook.
Two or three trout only came after it.
One of these he caught, and threw it
back into the water. Again he re-
sumed his fishing with newly baited
hook, and this time, although the pond
was swarming with fish, it was only
after long time that he lured another
trout toshis bait. And after little
further time it was entirely impossible
to catch n trout In this pond
However, by experimenting in another
pond equally well stocked, and not
throwing back any fish, Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook This, whatever it is, NAV be
called q Language"

HONEST RACING.
characteristics of the Sport az prncticed
by the Indians.

Dy the Indians.
Speaking of the customs that prevail
among the Indians, the Kansas CITY
Times has the following interesting
item regarding their racing practices:
There is no such thing as a third
party or stakeholder with the Indians.
The party making the proposition and
offering the wager on q race is always
by custom the stakeholder, unless an
Indian makes proposition to a white
man; then it always follows that the
white man holds the wager. Why this
Is the oldest Indian cannot explain. It
is custom that has long been estab-
lished, and, strange to say, there is not
case on record where wager has not
been promptly paid over. In their horse
races there is never such thing as
saddle or blanket; the horse is usually
ridden with just bride, and the In
dian boy is usually stripped of all cloth
ing except his breechclout. It is not
an unusual thing to see son of one Of
the contestants riding his adversary's
horse
Dishonesty in horse racing is IN IN
known factor among the Indians. Big
Bat, one of the wealthiest squaw men
among the Sioux, tried the plan of i'm
porting thoroughbred colt, and in
order to disguise him branded him with
half dozen or more brands, and when
the Cheyenne Indians came out for their
annual meeting he expected to make q
killing, but to his surprise he lost in
the neighborhood of some fifty head Of
horses and several thousand dollars in
rnonrt, for fbo CbavnDpnsi boreo t,,rnoJ
out to be n perfect crackerjaclx, and
since the white mans horse has proven
such n failure in the country the at
tempt has never been repeated The
usual length of race with the Indians
is one-third to three-fourths of mile,
unless it is what they term n big race,
which commences at daybreak and lasts
until darkness, and the record from
daylight to darkness is one hundred
and siXty-scven miles.
