INDIAN PRINCESS IN CANADA,
The Accomplished Daughter of .
Noted Huron Chief.

The recent election of Philippe Vim
cent, or, as the tribcsmen call him, Tar
ron Wartesche," to the craftsmanship of
the Huron tribe at the Indian Lorette,
near Quebec, has brought into promi-
aence his pretty 17-year-old daughter,
eugene, who is now recognized as the
princess of the tribe. Princess Eugene
is refined and well-educated miss. who
converses freely in pure French and
English, having had the advantage of
eight years thorough instruction in
the convent of Charlesbourg, near Que
bee. She is bright and vivacious, and
possesses good, well trained soprano
voice, which she uses with charming eff
feet. while she skillfully plays her own
accompaniment on either the organ or
piano. Her father is full-blooded.
Huron and her mother a French Cana
dian. Chief Philippe, the father of
Princess Eugene, is one Of the pilots
who takes the steamers through the
Long Sioux and Lachine rapids on the
st. Lawrence, the gift" as they call it,
OF plotting the rapids being hereditary.
The chief possesses number of heir
looms, which the princess highly
prizes, among them being medals pre-
sented to her grandfather and great
grandfather by George w., Edmund
Kean, Queen Victoria, the prince Of
Wales and other notables. For visitors
whom she fancies the princess will oc-
casionally don her fathers famous
chiefs jacket" couple of hundred
years old, and his crown of feathers,
and when her pretty face roguishly
peeps out from beneath the great
crown she forms a charming picture.

A Plea for the KIOndikers.

ing from Il. z. Ash. who arrived at Port
land November 30, direct from Dawson:
Il know that the supply of provisions in
Dawson can not last longer than the mid
die of March. No supplies can reach the
interior by ordinary conveyance until next
June and believe it will require the re-
sources of the United States government
to equip an expedition strong enough to
overcome the obstacles of midwinter
journey. This expedition should be au-
thorized at once. as it will take from forty
to fifty days to reach Dawson from Dyea.
am afraid there will be intense suffering
in the Klondike if relief is not sent ut
once.'

Southern Presbyterian Board.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 14.-The mission
board of the Southern Presbyterian
church held its regular monthly meeting
today. The estimates for mission work
in Mexico, Japan and Corea were con
sidered and salaries of missionaries re-
duced about 20 per cent because of the
falling off in receipts, the diminution
amounting to about $4,000. A circular
will be issued to the church giving the
facts and appealing for funds. 1t was
determined to issue leaflets giving the
history of the work done in each mission.
Reports were received from all the mis-
Sions except Africa.

there are young Quakers, how are we
to recognize them? Not by their dress,
at any rate, except in so far as their
plainness of cut and sobriety of color
still rule the taste of Friends, whether
wealthy or in moderate circumstances;
the distinctive costume is being laid
aside, with many of the distinctive Gus

is losing its control over its younger

longer suffice to hold in check the hui

Love and Magnolia,

South American lovers have pretty
custom. 1t is well known that when
the petals of the great laurel mag
nolia are touched, however lightly, the
result is brown spot, which devel-
ops in a very few hours. The fact is
taken advantage Of by the lover, who
pulls a magnolia flower and on one Of
the pure white petals writes motto or
message with hard sharp-pointed
pencil. Then he sends the flower. the
young lady puts it in q vase of water,
and in three or four hours the message
written on the leaf becomes visible

CAPTURED BY ANTS.
story OF the Strange and Unpleasant
Experience of an English Vessel,

story of the Strange and Unvleas.n
experience of an English Vessel.
When vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with cargo of logwood,
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed frantically ashore, as
though pursued by some unseen enc
my. AS a matter of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica ants, says London
witness.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents
OF these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, and
ate everything before them, until Il
was feared that the stock of provisions
on board would run short. There was
a cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re.
newed energy.
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated that there are millions of the
insects still on board, and he thought
that the cargo must have come from the
vicinity Of ant bills for which Jamaica
is noted. He stated that the ants were
in all parts of the vessel, and that in all
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with an attack like the new.

They Trust Entirely to Strategy for
Their Protection.
On the borders of the Everglades
you often see a large yellow spider,
says the Florida Citizen. He swings a
strong web from two plant twigs on
each side of path of clear space of
ground and waits for his prey. The web
Is in the shape of hammock and tapers
at each end to fine point, though quite
broad in the middle. The bright color
OF the owner seems to mark him out for
destruction-he is clearly defined
against the white sand Or dead leaves
and you wonder what he would do for
defense in case of attack. Approach
quietly and he watches you intently.
Now raise your hand suddenly and he
will disappear. While you are wonder
ing what became of him you see first
blur where he had been, then several
spiders, then you catch sight again of
the yellow ball you noticed at first. Re-
peat the performance and the stage ef-
feet is renewed. The disappearance is
absolute-there can be no doubt about
1t. and the little magician trusts to it
entirely for his protection. How is it
done? AS soon as he is threatened he
starts the vibrations Of his airy ham
mock; these become too rapid for the
eye to follow and he vanishes. As'these
become slower you see blur and then
several spiders as the eye catches him
at different points Of his swing until he
finally rests before you.

the Pacific. The Russian tongue will
have conquered all Europe except
Great Britain, and all Asia except In.
