valuable Shipments.
Invention is now at work to circum-
vent the daring train robbers in the
west, the latest step in this direction
being a bullet-proof car.
1t is supplied, says the Boston Her
aid, with cages designed to be omened
only from the outside, by a stAtion-
master. which are provided for the safe
and the more valuable parcels, and the
arrangement is such that if the rob
bers succeed in entering the car they
will be exposed to the fire Of the mes
senger from bullet-proof eompart-
ment in each end of the car, the mes
senger being also able to shoot along
the sides Of the car to protect the en-
glneer or to prevent burglars and rob
bers from making an entry.
The car has a double floor and double
roof, and at each end is a messengers
compartment, from which he may shoot
along the side of the car from out

a door opening into the body portion Of !
the car, and passageway is left on

room to the central portion of
the ear. This passageway is designed |
to be closed at each end by doors ear

Ruled EntireIy by women.

A pleasing account Of a government
entirely under feminine rule comes from
the little Indian ocean island Of
Minicoy, situated midway between
the Maldive and Laccadive groups.
The woman is the head both of the gov
eminent and Of the home, and when
she marries her husband takes her
name and hands over all his earnings
throughout his married life. Silk
gowns are the universal wear, the upper
classes DOMINIC red silk and earrings,
while the lower ten appear in dark
striped silk of coarser quality

Anxiety While Dying of an Indian Woman

Anxiety While Dying of an Indian Woman
to Fulfill Der Promise.
A woman on the West side whose
early predictions created prejudice
D against Indians is now a friend of the
decaying race. 1t came about in a
pretty way, says the Chicago Times,
and the incident has also a sorrowful
tinge. A Sioux Indian and his squav,
whom the woman's husband had known
out west, were returning from Europe,
where they had been as attaches Of
Buffalo Bills 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 a
carriage and took them out to his
home, which surprised his wife not
little, and there they were entertained
at dinner. The squaw spoke no Ian
guage but her own. Her man knew
enough English tomalSe himself under
stood. Both were in their visiting col
ors. They didn't like the blue points
and oysters but when the roast beef
(wo-haw) was brought on the eyes of
the squaw bulged out and she clapped
her hands. She deyoured it slice by
slice and in a manner calculated to
shock the wife of the paleface
After dinner the squaw sang for the
paleface woman and her papooses to
show her gratitude. Then, through |
her man, she had the paleface woman |
take off her shoes and stand on a sheet |
of paper. The squaw took bit Of |
pencil and drew the shape Of the feet.
The squaw's man informed the pale
face woman that she would make and /
send her pair of split bead moccasins
from the tepee as soon as they
could be made. The 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:
"'WaitW In year from the time of
the visit package was delivered to the
house. 1t was opened and there were
the split bead moccasins made by the
squaw. There also was the inforna-
ticn that she had died about the time
the moccasins were completed.
In crude sort Of way, but all the
more tender on account Of its simple
isy, the Indian explained that his
sluaw would have sent the moccasins
sooner, bpt she had been sick and her
work had been delayed, and that she
was afraid she would not live to keep
her word to the palefaee woman wllo
had entertained her with such good
wo-haw.
There were some tender words spoken
IN the home 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.

TURKEYS on oauToHEs.
How California PouItrylnan Cured His
Fowls Of Rheumatic Troubles.

How a California Poultrylnan Cured His
Fowls Of Rheumatic Troubles.
Capt. Bridge, of Shasta county, Cal,
who has an extensive reputation in
that district as a cultivator Of
high-elass poultry, has developed
very philanthropie spirit toward his
wards. Recently he noticed q peculiar
disease spreading among the turkeys.
It exhibited itself by gradual swell,
ing in the legs from the thigh.
or time honored and much respected
drum stick so popular among young
sters about Thanksgiving time. 1t
spread down the legs and in a few days
the turkey unfortunate enough to be
afflicted was unable to walk with that
proud and naughty step so frequently
employed by this royal bird. The cap
tain found that by regular hot water
applications the swelling could be re-
duced, but this manner of treating
was so slow, says the San Francisco
Call, that the patient was compelled
to lead life of idleness, much to
his disgust. At times the captain
would have several of his fattest
BIRDS in the hospital, and it required
almost all his attention to give them |
the hot water treatment. This state
of affairs went on for some time,
when finally he was inspired to in
troduce a little Yankee ingenuity I
into the flock, and being rather handy
with his pocketInife he fashioned a
crude pair of crutches about seven
inches in length and secured them UNI
der the turkeys wings They were
just fraction longer than the birds
legs, and every time the rheumatic
would take step forward the crutches
would be brought into play, and prog
ress, instead of being torture, was a
pleasure. In few hours the cripp1es
became familiar with the new order Of
things and were able to hobble around
the yard at a more rapid gait. Almost
any time during damp weather, when
the rheumatism is on, one can see halfa
dozen turkeys on crutehes at Capt
farm. They are learning some
new tricks of late, but so far are not
expert to fly up and light

PAT NOLAN S TALES.
The Old steepIechase Jockey Spins Some
Funny Yarns.

eA---J @f-AA9s
Old Pat Nolan, the celebrated steeple-
chase jockey, acquired considerable
fortune in the gala days of the sport
between the flags, and, having laid up
treasures enough for his wants in this
world, proceeded to build a house at
Sheepshead Bay, says the Philadelphia
Press. While it was in the course of
! construction a countryman came along
and, after regarding it with interest,
said:
s'Ayeh, Patsey, it's miny's the tonne,

Jack Bachelor at one time owned
the celebrated mare Princess. He was
robbed going down to the track one

to run the mare in two races that she
