A "REMINISCENCES.

Says an old New York merchant:
when the late Alexander T. Stewart
set out to destroy rivalry in trade he
succeeded in doing it. [ remember one
incident which illustrates my point.
Thirty years ago, when Mr. Stewart
had just finished his big building on
Broadway, which occupies an entire
block, bounded on the east by Fourth
avenue, on the south by Nineth street,
and On the north by Tenth street, his
success aroused the envy of Chicago
man named Sherwin, who came to
New York with the ayowed purpose
OF running out A r. Stewart. So
SheTwin hired a big store On Four
teenth street, west of Broadway, ex-
tending through to Thirteenth street,
which he fitted up regardless of COST
and christened The Maison dor,
meaning the House of OH Mr.. Stewart
watched those preparations grimly.
When Sherwin was finally ready to
open his doors to customers he was
permitted TO enjoy one day OF unin-
terrupted trade. But the next morn
his doors and flockiEg to "A. T. Stew
arts big store What was the reason?
Nothing except that Mr.. Stewart had
reduced his prices 33 1-3 ger cent on
everything in his great gaart. And
this, mind you, was in 1867 when we
were in the flush Of war prices. Poor
Sherwin was forced TO follow suit.
But he had bought when things were
high, and was so poorly prepared to
sell when Things were cheap that at
the end Of eight days he was COMPEL
ed to shut up shop. Then Alexander
7. Stewart smiled sardonically as he
directed his subordinates TO add one
third to the price Of each article
offered for sale. Nothing more was
heard of Sherwin in New York City"

SCARED BY AN ELEVATOR,

Topeka State Journal: An Indian
yell which made the blood of the peo-
rle at the State house run cold rever-
berated through the halls and offices
yesterday afternoon. 1t sounded like
the dying moan of a thousand souls
going down into perdition. 1t was
wild, uncanny, and weird and terribly
ing in the extreme. Chiefs Much
nose and Little Talk were doing the
State house and stepped into the ele-
yator at the solicitation of their guide.
The carriage started up and then the
Indians yelled. One dropped down on
his knees and lifted up his voice in a
weird, discordant supplication to the
Great Spirit, while the other seized
the iron grating of the cage and yelled
in savage style. The muscles of his
face stood out in bold relief SO great
was the exertion of yelling. The
squaws fell upon the floor of the ele-
vator and seemed in a faint. When
the elevator stopped the Indians
scrambled out, but visited the State
house no longer. They hurried down
a stairway leading to the main en-
trance and disappeared as by magic
toward their camp.

culinary regions. The class assembled
IN the cooking rooms in the basement
OF Hughes and put on the regulation
cap and apron. Then Miss Hull, in q
ten-minute talk, proceeded to explain
1 to them the simpler processes of
chemistry which are involved in the
art Of cooking. After this few prac-
teal illustrations were given of tn.
cooking which they were to perform
The boys, who are all IN the d grade,
were Joseph Shaw, Calvin Vos, VIM
Doughty, Freeman Hussy, George
Hoffman, Charles Jones and William
Simpson. A row Of gas burners was
lighted, and each boy was furnished
With an egg and egg poacher. The
resulting poached eggs would have
done credit to the cafe of any of the
swell restaurants or hotels. Potatoes
were then started roasting and bread
was toasted. The value of bread
crumbs and the proper preparation
and preservation was then elucidated
to the young students, and a whole
jarful was prepared by them and set
aside for the next recitation. The
menu thus prepared was set on
table by the boys and they proceeded
to regale themselves on the fruits OF
their work. The skill displayed by
the boys was very noticeable, there
being no accident save a burned finger
sustained by Master Shaw in his
eagerness to toast a piece of bread.
Miss Hull expects to make very
good lot of cooks from the present
raw material, and from the enthusiasm
they displayed the boys are not
whit less eager to become proficient
in the art. The classes will be held
every Friday afternoon from 1870 to
$50.

SAVAGES
The American Indians Make Dainty
Trinkets of Mexican Dollars

An exhibit which usually surprises
Washington is the group showing the
American Indian working in silver at
a forge of his own contrivirg.
Contrary to popular suppOsitiOn,
the Indian is very clever workman
in metals. Some of the amulets,
a"mlets and buttons found in the
possession of the far Western Indians
are of excellent finish and workman
ship. The Indian loves ornaments
and delights to deck the blanket and
robe of his young son with silver
trinkets.
His bullion is the Mexican dollar,
and he uses a rude forge fitted with
bellows made of buffalo skin. They
generally have two pairs of bellows,
which, being worked alternately, fur
nish steady draught.
Some of the designs wrought upon
these rude silver buttons prove that
the Indian is far from an unimagina-
tive being. 1t is clear that he has

The use of the blow-pipe is not un-
familiar to the Indians They make
use of it to braize the eylids of but
tons. The lamp used for this purpose
is very crude, consisting merely of
stick daubed with tallow placed in an
open dish of metal or stone.
AS the Indians have been gathered
into reservations they have lost the
use of even these rude mechanical arts
and the practice is now confined to
few in the mountains of North
western Mexico. Here an occasional
rude forge may still be found, and it's
output of forged silver trinkets still
passes from hand to hand. Dishes are
sometimes made of silver by hammer
ing out dollar very thin and then
pressing it against design already
cut in stone.
