Cute Beyond Her Years

1t was Philadelphia little girl who,
when her mother had given her a box OF
candy and had told her to invite one of
her friends to partake of 1t with her, said

They Are Now So Rare ms 10 BE Al.
most Priceless.
From the indianapolis News
DR.. w. H. Work of Charlestowp has re-
turned from a trip to Arizona and has
brought back with him several Navajo
blankets. But" he remarked sorrowfulIy,
they are not what they used to be- The
Navajos are too improvident and lazy to
rake such blankets as they used to make
in the years gone by and before the white
man began to banker after that particular
weave.
THE blankets now turned out are pitiful
and tawdry affairs compared with those Of
hygone times. Those of today can be
bought for about $50. while a real oid-fash-
iored blanket Is really priceless and can
not now be bought. Those ancient blan-
kets We're half an inch thick and would hold
Mater as well as a wooden tub. The finest
of them are found buried with bodies of
dead chiefs, and they are practically irde-
structible.
The women who weave the blankets Of
today can make the old-fashionei blankets
just as well. for they know the secret of
manufacture, but the cheaper blanket is
easily sold and takes only a short time to
make. while it would take nearly a year to
weave one of the real blankets, those glori-
Gus combinations of colors and material,
one of which would easily be worth $500.
They h ave an exquisite color sense,
these wCmen, and blend their materials per-
fectly. The coloring Is fast. and is made
of vegetable and mineral matter, the secret
of the making being handed down from
generation to generation. tribe can be
known by the color scheme of its blankets.
The designs vary greatly. Sometimes re-
ligious ceremonies are typfied, sometimes
tribal and sometimes personal history. or
other themes, all of which may be read by
these skilled in the sign and color languages
of these Indians. az.

manner is very primitive End seems simple
enough. They are woven on upright frames
by hand and the threads are pounded to-
sether tight as possible But the glory

their making will be lost"

The Ghurkas.
From the Fall Mall Magazine.

The average monkey man of the Hima-
layas" is by no means type Of beauty A
short body. little legs. round head, and
fiat features are few of his prominent
physical characteristics; and being for a
long period clothed in one Of the ugliest
uniforms the genius of man ever invented,
he could not compete in picturesqueness
with the fine physique and carriage of the
handsome Sikhs. Panthans, Or Rayputs.
But, in spite of his unprepossessing appear
ance. once let his officers gain his respect,
and he is ready to follow them with dog
like fidelity, to "go anywhere. and do any
thing" to use a hackneyed phrase: and
these qualities which commend themselves
to Ghurka are the same as those which
serve to endear an officer to the British
private. Indeed. the devotion, courage,
energy of character. and love of enter
prise of these formidable but merry little
warriors are such that the writer of re-
cent article on the native army gives ex-
preston to bis conviction that there is
not single instance on record of Ghurka
soldiers having failed in their duty against
an enemy"

Boxing a Brides Ear.

4. In Lithunia, province of Russia, it Is
customary that the brides ears should be
boz ed before the marriage ceremony. No
matter how tender-hearted the mother may
be, she always makes it point of admin
fstering hearty smack to her daughter
in the presence of witnesses, and a note is
made of the fact. The mothers intention
is kind one. though the custom itsalf is
bad The reason for it is to protect the
bride should her marriage prove an unhap-
py one. In that case she will sue for
divorce, and her plea will be that shs was
forced into the marriage against her will
and on that score this verdict Of the Judge
will be In her favor.

member says an old citizen, who spent
his boyhood about the navy yard, appeared
shortly after the memorable encounter of
the Constitution (Old lronsides) and Guer-
riere, during the war of 1912, and to the
rollicking old air The Landlady of France,
became a popular song with sailors and
others, and was published in many of the
old song books Of the day. AS literary
production 1t is not first-class. but it is as
strong in fact as the rollicking air when
sung In the fo'castles by our gallant Sea-
men for many years afterward. There are
some yet living who can recollect what q
popular air 1t was about the navay yard,
especially when the gallant Hull (the hero
Of that battle) was in command of the
yard. The song goes like this:
