Indian Legend.

The mystery surrounding the origin of
the Indian race is greatly enhanced by
listening to some of the quaint legends.
Here is one of them, related by the older
men of the Mojave tribe, says the Los
Angeles Herald: -
Sat the time of the Mojave, the white
man, the negro and all other people lived
togetherBith their god, ,Muleyelia, whose
mother was the earth and whose father
the heaven.
They were all supplied with. food,
clothing and many luxuries. Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of
implements and machinery to work with.
Everything was manufactured, ard
especially matches.
Zone day Mulevelia died, and all tie
people, excepting the Mojaves fed, after
looting the camps of everything they
could lay their hands on, not even leavir G
match.
"Here was a pretty state of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremationl
''There seemed to be no other alterna-
tive than to dispatch messenger for
spark from one Of the brilliant luminaries
of the upper region, and coyote was
sent to star for some fire.
sAfter long time he returned without
success, and SO hungry tina the tried to eat
up the dead god.
"Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up
Mulevelia.
''After the cremation, which took place
somewhere near Fort Mojaye, the noun
tains at the foot of the canyon parted,
and the Colorado flowed through and
swept the ashes away.
| "Mastanho now became chief ard d.
vided the Indians into tribes, snd gave
them their allotments of land

many small ~delibefative bodies in the

The Man and His House.

The ordinary polite inquiry, "How do
you do ?' calls for nothing but conven-
tionally polite response; but if a man is
past ''the allotted age," ard a philoso-
pher besides, it may elicit reply full of
meaning and worthy of record.
When John Quincy Adams was eighty
years old he met in the streets of Boston
and old friend who shook his trembling
hand and said
'Good morning And how is John
Quincy Adams to-day s''
Thank you," was the ex Presidents
answer, "John Quincy Adams himself is
we'll, sir; quite we'll, thank you. But
the house in which he lives at present is
becoming dilapidated. 1t is tottering
upon it's foundation. Time and the sea-
sons have nearly destroyed it. Its roof
is pretty nearly worn out. Its walls ar,
much shattered, and it trembles with
every wind. The old tenement is becom-
ing almost uninhabitable, and / think
John Quincy Adams will have to move
out Of it soon; but he himself is quite
we'll, sir, quite WELL"
With that the venerable sixth Presi-
dent of the United States moved on, with
the aid of his staff.
1t was not long afterward that he had
his second and fatal stroks of paralysis,
in the Capitol at Washington. "This is
the last OF earth," he said. II am con-
tent."- YOUTHS Companion.

What brings about the end Of books?
Is it fire. water, worms? As every ship
launched Is bound to be wrecked, every
theater to be burned, the finis of the
book is its reduction to ashes. What be-
came of the Alexandrian library? Did
the Saracens burn it ins640? There is
this question asked: Was there any IL
brary at Alexandria containing 700, 900
books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion
that there was no such library. Canon
Taylor insists that if there had been a
library it was burned in the time of Ju-
Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate,
however, that there was a library in
the Serapeum, by no means a large col
lection, but whether destroyed by The
ophilus or Theodosius is not known. It
looks as if the charge brought against
the sA.abs rested on no foundation. Re-
Ecent xllorations of Alexandria, 1866,
show no yaces Of the Serapeum. The
seaport OF Egypt vas built on damp

sCt or woman VINO,
when she turns out the gas, invariably
lights match to see If she has turned
it completely off, and nine times out of
ten she lights another match to see if
she threw the first match into the coal
scuttle or fireplace. That is another form
of what may be termed shyness.
This shyness is due to variety of
causes. 1t is very often the case that
system which is run down leads to this
condition Of mind. The continual think
| ing upon any subject, or what is termed
brooding over a certain thing. leads to
| this. If not checked in time, melan-
cholia results.
"This shyness is as common to men
! as to women. Some men seem embar-
raised and i'll at ease when in the pres
4 ence Of women, while. on the other
hand, it 10 often noticed that the pres
enca Of gentlemen makes some women
very i'll at ease, only, in justice to the
sex, it must be stated that this very
rarely happens.
''There are many reasons for these
facts, but the most common one is il
health. Should a person SO troubled &C

DR.. Henry Campbell, who is the ply
p sician in charge of the Northwest Lon
10 don hospital, says that morbid shynes'

Did you ever stop to think what indi-
gestion really means? 1t means simply
that your stomach is tired. If our legs
are tired, we ride. The horse and the
steam engine do the work. Why not give
your stomach a ride; that is, let some.
thing else do it's work. Foods can be
digested outside of the body. All plants
contain digestive principles which will do
this. The Shaker Digestive Cordial con
tains digestive principles and is prepara-
tion designed to rest the stomach. The
shakers themselves have such unboundetf
confidence in it that they have placed 10
cent sample bottles on the market, and e
is said that even SO small quantity
proves beneficial in vast majority of
cases. All druggists keep it.

kaoled to enjoy quiet conversation
with valued friends without interruption.
That was another step in the right dree-
tion-trying to be helpful and agreeable
at home. In the afternoon she seated :.
herself by oozy fire, and had just begun '
reading when she heard a knock at the
back door. She opened it, and there
stood poor girl, who lived about mile
distant. ~
"rve come," said the girl, hesitating.t
ly, "to see if you ken pay me fur them
hickory nuts brought you"
Cornelia had put off the poor girl when
she took the nuts, saying that she had no
''change" and would pay her another
time. The girl had looked disappointed,
but said nothing. Cornelia really thought
no more about the matter until the girl
appeared before her again, and then her
conscience told her that it was not right
to be SO careless about such thirgs.
Upon receiving the money the girl said:
81 wanted to buy somethin' to. day, or
should not have pestered you"

nelia, earnestly. feeling very ashamed Of
herself.

ment in thought. "By the way" she
said, aloud, "this hickory nut business
reminds me that haven't paid for the
ribbon l bought of Mrs. Harley a few
weeks ago. said would pay for it the
next time l went down the street; and

shall attend to both of these matters this
very evening"
And so she did. Cornelia felt quite
relieved when she had attended to these
apparently trifling matters; but, after
all, were they 80 trifliDg It is in little
/ things as we'll as large that character is
shown. Cornelia had the pleasure of
attending New Years entertainment
that evening at the house of young
friend, and she was unusually agreeable.
| She restrained the cutting remarks for
| which she had established kind of reph-
tation, but strove to be in every way
courteous and polite. When she retired to
her room that night she felt that she had
gained much in happiness and self respect
even in one day. She had begun the new
year right by trying TO amend some iof
her careless ways, and on leaf Of her
diary she wrote:
Resolved, That 1 will observe secret
prayer regularly; quit being lazy; help
mother more; keep my promises pay
whatever owe; return whatever l bor-
row; treat everyone politely; think twice
before Ispeak."

Weekly
The craving for color the part of the young and
even of other members of family, has now been
recognized by THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
in the publication of colored supplement of I6
pages with each Fridays paper. If not gratified in
proper way, the liking for pictures and innocent
bright aiding matter will incline many to seek in
less desirable publications that which they
find in their favorite paper. The jokes and quaint
paragraphs and the fifty more political cartoons,
humorous sketches and half-tones and other anus
ing of the coored supplement will prove
welcome addition to the wiser and weighte parts of
the paper. 1t is printed superfne paper and its
10 pages themselves fully worth the price of the
| SEMI-WEEKLY. Sold separately, as a pictorial
weekly, ''Twinkles'' readily brings cents copy,
and in the course Of year the reader would receive
| more than he has paid for THE TRIBUNE itself.
The piquaut comcalites OF the supplement will lend
new value to bound volumes and make each copy
valuable long after the date of publication.
