The Last of Her Tribe.

The last survivor of the Delaware
Indians, who formerly owned all of
the lands in this section ofNew Jersey,
died day or two ago in her humble
cottage in Southampton township, N.
j., and was buried from the little
Methodist chapel at Tabernacle. Her
name was Ann Roberts, and she was
the widow of John Roberts, a mulatto,
who died a number of years ago.
They had several children, some of
whom are still living. A picturesque
figure she was as she stood
erect in front of her cabin with her
long black hair streaming over her
shoulders, and the neighbors all had
a wholesome respect for her. She
was nearly six feet in height, very
muscular, and despite her years-she
was past ninety-could do a days
chopping in the woods with almost
any of the men in the neighborhood.
The house she lived in was bought
with some pension money she. had
secured on account of the death of
one of her sons in the war. Somehow
she managed to pick up living for
herself until her last illness, when the
neighbors kindly supplied her wants
until the end came, when they gave
her Christian burial.
'Indian Ann" as she was called,
was the last survivor of the Edge
pillock Indians, a branch of the Della
wares. They were assigned to Il
reservation in Shamong township in
1857, where they remained for a long
time prosperous and happy. Then
they were removed to another tract
of land in Oneida County, New York.
Indian AIMS parents accompanied
them, but soon became weary and
returned to Burlington County, where
they lived in cabin on She Woolman
farm, near Mount Holly. until their
death, which occurred some time in
the fifties. Philadelphia Ledger.

Usefulness of Diamonds,

Diamond powder and chips, and
even the finest dust, are of great value
in the mechanical arts. Brazilian
diamonds are now put to novel and
interesting use. A thin disk of steel,
seven feet in diameter, has spaces at
intervals of about one and one-halt
inches. These spaces are filled in with
pieces of steel that exactly fit, and
into these are set the diamonds fixed
in countersunk screw-heads. They
are arranged in groups of eight, and
are so placed that they do not follow
one exactly after the other in the cut,
but each line takes its own course.
This circular saw is used Cor cutting
up blocks of stone, and SO efficient is
it that in less than two and one-half
years it has to cut out four hundred
and twenty thousand square feet OF
stone, at cost of n trihe less than
two cents a square foot. In this time
it has been necessary TO renew twenty
of the teeth, the average cost of which
has been about two dollars per tooth.

A Useful Python,

Once, while passing through a Dutch
farm, writes the author of "Three
Years With Lo Bengula," in Africa, 1
went up to the house to buy some
eggs, standing in front of the door
was large barrel, and while passing
| carelessly tilted it up to see what
was inside, but promptly let 1t down
again, as there was big python un-
derneath. The Dutchman told me he
had shot at the suake some months
previously, and few grains entering
the head, the reptile appeared to be-
come stupe6ed and unable to move
quickly. He then dragged it home,
and extracted the fangs, and it gradu-
ally became tame. The python, which
measured sixteen feet, was allowed to
crawl about the place at night, never
attempting to get away or do any dam
age; in fact, they found it useful for
killing rats and vermin. By day it
was kept under the barrel. The chill
dren fed the snake, and played with
it. saw one of the little Dutch boys
drag it out, and pour two bottles of
milk down its throat, and then give it
six eggs, VIII ch it swallowed. When
they teased the python, it made hiss
ing noise and reared up on its tail /;
they were not bit frigL sened, and
would catch hold of it by the head,
and drag it along the ground over
their shoulders.

He DOtes on Dog.

The Cleveland papers report the
curious case of Mrs. Charles Umlauf.
of that city, who had her husband ar
rested for alleged assault and battery.
1t came out in court that the cause of
the domestic unpleasantness was her
refusal to cook dog for Charles on the
family stove. Her energetic re-
monstrances against his efforts to con-
vert the children to his own views as
to the toothsomeness of that Wand
provoked him to violence. Charles
promised the justice to keep the peace
in the family, and was let so with a
caution from the bench. Subsequently
h. told n reporter that no had been
eating dog flesh for seven years past
and prefers it to chicken. Atlanta

WantOn Destruction OF Game.

Our attention has recently been
arrested by a recent invention which
is menace to wild water game, aud
an outrage on the sentiment and prRc-
tice of all true sportsmen. A recently
devised pneumatic boat has for its
upper portion simply a circular rub
ber hoat, arranged into water-tight
compartments, easily inflated with air.
Attached TO this on the under side is a
pair of rubber wading boots. The
operation is very easy. The boatman
thrusts, his legs into the wading boots,
initiates his boat with air, propels him
self with his feet; his body being con
cealed in his boat, which is covered
with loose sea weed, he can easily ap-
proach and mingle with the uususpeot-
ing water fowl to his profit and their
destruction. We do not know when
we have heard of more piratieal ma
shine for the determination of our
Wild game. Some gunners will un-
loubtedly use it, but the true sports
nan never will 1t might be well TO
make a target OF this pirate boat and

is appearance on the water, Atlanta

Diamonds Are Hard.

After perfect rubies and emeralds,
and perhaps after great pearls, comes
the diamond in value. This, too, has
a range of colors, the most priced be-
ing red, blue, green and water white,
while brown or gray tinges are not
quite SO highly esteemed. The Koh-i-
Moor, of 1929 carats, ranks low in point
of size with some of the worlds great
stones-for instance with the Great
Mogul, 279 carats in weight. Diamond
is the hardest mineral known, brittle
though it be; acids do not effect it,
aud it is also the only eombustible
gem. 1t has high refraotive and dis.
persive powers ''fre'O, and some
specimens become phosphorescent by
the action of light. 1t usually occurs
MS an eight-sided crystal. New York

''No, indeed % exclaimed Dolly,
preventing him. "Do you think 1
would take it from you? But it was
kind of you to offer livery kind !
You are kind to me-"
"Kindl" said Tom, warmly. "Who
could help being kind?"
He pressed more closely to her.
Outside the snow was descending
heavily.
ODDLY" said Tom, speaking low,
'have you quite forgiven me?'
She smiled, but did not say any
thing. His arm stole round her
again. She made no effort to repulse
it. He looked at her face. The cold
had turned it dead white, but it was
beginning to glow again, and he
thought it had never looked prettier.
"Dolly," he whispered, 81 love
you"
Her heart bounded. He loved her |
Oh the blissful thought

"could you care for me ever 80 lit.

'Yes," she murmured.

After that l don't think either of them

They were prisoned in that sancti-
fed doorway an hour before the snow
abated, and then it took them another
twenty minutes to get homo. They
were received with rejoicings.
"We thought you had got lost, :"
said the master of the house.
Dolly ran straight into her aunt's
arms, and burst into fit of sohbing.
"My poor child !" said the lady, ca
ressing her, "you are overwrought /;
and no wonder. Tom. you haven't
taken proper care Of her."

ing through her tears. 'It isn't

"She has promised to be my wife !"

A damage suit, in which the jury
found for the plaintiff, has been closed
in the st. Louis County Court, at
Clayton, Mo-, which, it is believed, has
no precedent in the courts of the
United States OF England. The case
was one, relates the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, in which father claimed and got
a verdict for $4,000 for the death of
his son, who was killed by a railroad
train. 1t was proved that the boy was
standing alongside the track when the
train rushed by at high rate ofspeed
and that he was hurled to the ground
and forced under the cars by the cur
rent of air made by the swift motion
Of the train. Deep interest has been
manifested in the peculiar and new
feature in the case, the outcome of
which in the higher courts is likely to
open up a new field ofaction for dam
ages against railroads , ,....-.-..

An ostrich farmer In Southern Cali
fornia says in the New York Sun that
the ostrich farming experiment is not
an entire success, although not COM
plete failure. He was one of the first
to engage in the business of raising
the big birds for their feathers, and
expected to realize big fortune
quickly. He says that, while much
money has been derived from the sale
of feathers, the birds do not increase
as rapidly as was expected. Then,
Nefy many are SO vicious that it is i'm
possible to remove the feathers with
out killing them. He still hopes that,
as the farmers gain more experience
in the management of the ostriches,
the business may become as big sue
cess as was at first expected.

THE RIDDLE OF WRECK.

Dark hemlooks, seventy and seven,
High on the hlll-slope sigh in dream,
With plumy heads In heaveni
They silver the sunbeam.
One broken body OF tree,
Stabbed through and slashed by lightning
keen,
Unsouled and grim TO sec,
Hangs DER tho hushod ravlne.
A hundred masts, a hundred more,
Crowd close against the sunset fires.
Their late adventure o'er,
They mingle with the spires.
But one is lying prone, alone,
Where cleaning gulls to soawar1 sweep,
White sand Of burial blown
In shoets about its sleep.
When lightning's leashed and sea is still,
Ye sacrifclal mysteries dread,
Scapegoats OF shore and hill,
Your riddle may be read.

Darwin declared that insanity is
not peculiar to human beings. He as
serted that animals often become in
sane.
The earliest known attempt at an
explanation Of the rainbow was made
by Aristotle. 1t was along the line of
modern scientific investigation.
Many psychologists believe that in
sanity is return to the habits of the
wholly undeveloped man. Professor
Freeman writes that at different peri

fortunate patient becomes "horribly
monkey-like."

AS far as is known swallows mi.
gratory flights are always carried on
by day. The fact that, though warb-
lers and other migrants are constantly
found dead around lighthouses, hay
ing dashed themselves against the
windows of the lanterns, swallows
have never been known to meet their
fate in this way, furnishes strong
presumptive evidence of this peculiar.
ity of the swallow tribe.
The habit of feigning death when
attacked is Rjdespread among animals,
and Angus Gaines has found it in the
microscopic insect which produces the

feigned death, remaining perfectly
still for some time. This it did re.

The New York Advertiser is remind
ed that General Washington was the
victim Of merciless political attacks
when he was President. General
Gates once alluded to him as that
dark, designing, sordid, ambitious,
vain, proud, arrogant and vindictive
knave." Political denunciation seems
to have grown decidedly tame in these
later years.
