from the tepee as soon as they could be made. Tho Indians went away that night, westward bound, and months passed by. The West Side wife playfully chided her husband about his lavish entertainment of the reds and their mock gratitude He said, Wait" In year from the time of the visit a package was delivered to the house. It was opened, and there were the split bead moccasins made by the squaw There also was the information that she had died about the time the moocasins were completed.
 In crude sort of way, but all the more tender on account of it's simplicity the Indian explained that his squaw would have sent the moccasins sooner, but she had been sick, and her work had been de- layed, and that sho was afraid she would not live to keep her word to the palefaee woman who had entertained her with such good wo-haw.
 There wero some tender words spoken in the homo of the West Side paleface that night, and even now, when the wife of the paleface tells the incident, there is slight formulation in the lips and moisture about the eyes, es,-Chicago Times.

Short History Of the Pea,

The word ''pea" is derived from Pisa, a Greek city of Ellis, which seems to have been the center of the pea-grow- ing industry for years before the time of Christ. The antiquarians aver that the ''mess pottage," for which Esau sold his birthright, was dish of pease. In those times they were called ''len- ti]s," and even at the present day the English common people of several of the English shires, notably Middlesex and Oxfordshire, still call them "tils," dropping the lien" In the time of Mary they were called "peasons," and in the time of Charles l., ''pease." Prof. L. H. Baily is authority for the statement that pease have been in cultivation in Europe for more than g. 900 years

It came about in pretty way, and tho incident has also sorrowful tinge A Sioux Indian and his squaw, whom the woman's husband had known out west, wero returning from Europe, where they had been as attaches of Buffalo Bill Wild West. When they came to Chicago, they stopped over a day and hunted up the paleface whom they had known out west. He hired carriage and took them out to his home, which surprised his wife not littlo, and there they were entertained. The squaw spoke no language but her own, Her man knew enough English to make himself understood. Both were in their visiting colors. They didn | axe the blue points and oysters, but when the roast beef (wo-haw) was brought on the eyes of the squaw bulged out Jand she clapped her hands.

A Round Billiard Table.

"There is nothing new under the sun, ' says the Worcester Gazette, mot even a round billiard table. A Boston manufac- turer years ago placed two of these tables in public room in Washington street. in that city. They were perfectly round without pockets, and although their shape made them look small they probably had about as many square inches of sur face as tho carom tablo of today The rounding of the cushions must have in- creased the cost of the tables No new rules were needed, but the angles were all changed, and at first the game was inter- esting for that reason n

A Remarkable Automaton.

A most wonderful automaton has re- gently been privately exhibited in Paris by rich old gentleman, who has an inordinate taste for mechanical toys. The group represents family of seven kittens, life-sized and covered with real skin and with eyes of emerald set in pearly enamel. The group are each en- gagged in playing upon some sort of a musical instrument-a flute, 6 zither, a violin, a drum, harp, horn, a cor net and an accordion. All these instru- ments perfectly harmonize and upon them the mechanical kittens play all kinds of music, including difficult operas. The mechanism is said to be similar to that of music box The automaton cost eighty thousand francs in Persia

REMARKABLE DEVOTION.
old AmzI Just 'Spised Ills Master for

old AmzI Just 'Spised Ills Master for Q
 Too Moe Consideration.
 Amzi was an old school negro, who regarded the emancipation proclama- tion with contempt, and neither threats nor bribes could have prevailed upon him to leave an indulgent master, whom he served with the most un- selfish devotion. He was little, dried-up, black and much wrinkled darl1y of uncertain age, whose religion consisted solely of blind adoration of "Marse Davy Jackson" whose play mate he had been in childhood, whose nurse he had been in illness, and whose personal attendant he had been through a four years war.
 Mir. Jackson was owner of a steam pack line, plying daily between Nor folk, Va, and Elizabeth City, N. C., through the Dismal Swamp canal, the principal revenue of which was de- rived from the carrying of the United States mail, Amzi being employed in the humble capacity of guard over the pouches.
 The four years contract had nearly expired, and rival company, stage coach line, was seeking to wrest the mail-carrying from the steamers. With a view to proving that the overland route was the more expeditions, and therefore more desirable, the stage raced with the steamer every day, and as the roadway followed the canal bank for twenty-two miles the contest became very exciting. The wheeled vehicle would usually forge ahead when the locks were reached, but as soon as released all steam would be crowded and the little boat would again be in the lead.
 Amzi was, probably, the individual most concerned in these tests of speed, and he sought to incite the engineer to extreme effort by all sorts of threats and promises. He regarded the coaches with the utmost aversion and nearly wept in his distress lest his old master should lose his contract.
 One day the contest had been unusu- ally warm and close throughout the entire length of the canal and as they were drawing near the south mills, where the canal enters Pasquotank river, the stage was good mile in the lead. Amzi was standing upon the rail swearing at the engineer and threaten ing the captain, when the boat lurched slightly and the negro was thrown in- to the water.
 Immediately there was great con fusion on board, for the old negro was revered by everyone, and it was known that he could not swim. Quickly us might be the steamer was stopped a little yawl lowered, and Amzi, half drowned, was flshed outsof the water.
 Scarcely did he reach the deck be- fore he yelled out excitedly to the cap- tain:
 ''Gin her two bells. you fool! Don you see dat dunn stage erscootin'?"
 Then he rushed to the window of the engineer and shook his fist savagely at that official
 What fur you done stop dis we're boat? Ise done tell Marse Davy, 'n' den dere Il be a ingineer projecin' fur job"
 But, Amzi," expostulated the en- gineer. If hadn't stopped you would have drowned"
 "G'long. I jis' 'spises yer, I does, aspilin' time on one lazy nigger. Now you jis' heah me; you sen up de steam whilst squats on de safety valve, 'n' eff you heahs anybody else drappin' you leave 'em be."-Chicago Tribune.

Housekeepers Want tho Best Food.

What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: q consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.
