Indian Fails as shoplifter.

A Navajo Indian can hide more bulk
within the folds of his blanket than
two bushel basket could hold and can
successfully hide many stolen articles
before our eyes. The settlers along the
San Juan and Animas rivers, during the
early days, had to put all their stealable
possessions in one corner Of their places
of abode and stand guard when the Ma
vajoes were visitors, which was a too
frequent occurrence. "Chinny ah-gol"
(meaning something to eat) was the first
intimation generally that an Indian
was near perhaps half dozen). They
rarely exceeded half dozen in number,
as they, like the American hobo, had
learned that smaller numbers stood
better show to get something to eat.
One day in A. R. Lincoln's cabin, on
the south bank of the San Juan river,
three bachelors were partaking of their
evening meal when a Navajo with a
glass eye walked in. All tried to watch
the Indians movements, but he had
managed to get several articles under
his blanket and would not have been
detected had not an accident befallen
him. A Ratchet which slipped from one
of the folds in his blanket fell, and the
sharp blade cut long cash in the calf
of his leg. The Indian looked to the
roof Of the cabin as if wondering where
the Ratchet had fallen from, but the
blood squirting from the open cash be-
trayed him. His blanket was shaken,
and butcher knife, miners CANDLE
stick, several candles and package of
tobacco, all belonging in the cabin, fell
on the earthly floor. Durango (Col)

began to beat louder and louder. Pad

CONSOLATION.

Now sleeps the rose, the lily sleeps.
The daisy sleeps; the sky in rain
Upon their graves, despairing, weeps.
Not dreaming they viii rise again.
Poor weeping skies, be comfortedi
Soon will return the daisy star;
The rose and lily are not dead,
But sleeping where our longings are.
IT'S but little weary while
OF sullen cloud and toneless earth
Before the spring shall wake and smile
And bring her pretty babes to birth.
And thou, poor sky, with eye of blue,
Shalt see rerisen the new Powered year
And drop an April tear or two
For Joy once more to find her here.
Thy happy tears shall gently fall
On all the buds that charm thee most;
Next spring brings all-or nearly all
Which with last spring was loved and lost.

budget speech was preceded by rumor
that the basis of the scheme would be
the repeal Of the tea duty and that this
would upset the government. Just be-
fore Mr.. Gladstone rose to make his
statement there was handed to Lord
Palmerston on the treasury bench the
following note from Lord Derby; my
dear Pam What is to be the great pro-
posal tonight? Is it to be tea and turn
out?' MY dear Derby" wrote the

MARY, KNITTING.

When Mary sits admitting
Beside the coy fire,
Her bending face so happy
With motherhood s desire,
1t makes the room seem holy,
A consecrated place,
With Gods smile in the freight
That flickers on her face.
The clicking of the needles,
The crumble of the Goals,
Make such quiet music
For our two quiet souisi
And when the little mother
Spreads out the garment small,
The look, the touch, she gives it
Like sanity blessings fall.
We sit until the twilight
Her snowy weaving blurs,
And in the creaking shutter
A little night wind stirs.
Then Mary's face sinks lower
Unto the little gown
Until she seems to kiss it
Before she lays it down.

FrenchwOlnen as Wives.

Max O'Rell considers that French
women make better wives for poor or
struggling men than do the women of
other nationalities. Their ambition and
keen sense, he says, are great helps to a
mans efforts, and they never allow
themselves to weary in their endeavors
to be CHEEKY and charming. Mr.. O'Rell
says that the women are naturally ex-
ceedingly energetic and endowed with
that vivaoity which is SO great sup
port to their own spirits, and that this
enables them to impart animation and
courage to others.
Other writers have noticed this Pc
ouliarity Of temperament in French
women. 1t has been said that Americans
have it to certain degree, that degree
which compels constant activity, but
that lack of true balance makes woman
ly energy in the western continent fltful
and uncertain, while the Gallo women
will be found of more equable natures.

A Birdhouse on a Mountain Top.

On the northern slope of Mount Tamal-
pals, in plain sight of one OF the numerous
trails leading up from Ross valley, is one
of the most interesting looking birdhouses
to be found anywhere. The miniature
house itself is not So unusual looking, but
its position is SO strange one involuntarily
asks, "How did it get there?"
Tho tiny structure is fastened to the top
of one of the highest pine trees In the VI
cinity. The tree is dead, and perhaps has
been for some time. The top is at least 40
feet from the ground The trunk is very
slender, and, even If the tree were young
and springy, it would not support man so
that no could climb to the top and nail
tho birdhouse in place.
How long the birdhouse has been In its
present position is another question hardly
possible to answer. 1t looks weather worn,
but seems Co be in good condition other
wise. The supports that fasten 1t to the
tree arc apparently strong enough to hold
it in its present position for long time.
Nobody living in the vicinity knows
ANYTHING about tho origin of the bird
house. Some say it has been there for 20
years, and others say only short time.
There seems but one solution of the way
in which it got into its present lofty posi-
ton, and that is that "a number of years
ago, when the pine tree was younger, an
other tree grew close TO 1t, up which some
body climbed and fastened the birdhouse
in place. The tree that was used as lad
der was afterward cut down. Tho quaint
old structure on its lofty perch always
seems to have tenants.-San Francisco

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF WAR.
Conquest and Cannibalism and It's Effect
Upon Human Advancement.

Conquest and Cannibalism and It's Effect
Upon Human Advancement.
In his earlier state, man, except for an
occasional resort TO insects and other easily
obtninabe animal food, had been vege-
tarian-in fact, as before remarked, this
weakness of the anthropoid series makes
any other kind of life impossible. Missile,
weapons and the primitive oontrivances
for fishing, by enabling him easily TO cap
ture animals, led this creature away from
the ancestral habits of subsistence and
gave him access to the more profitable be-
cause tho more nourishing products of the
chase.
AS all the primitive peoples and many
who had attained to the high grade saw
agery, such as our American Indians, are
instinctively cannibals, the motives OF the
earliest form of war were doubtless min
gled with those which animate the hunter.
The defeated enemies were not only de-
prived of their personal property and ex-
PEELED from valued hunting grounds, but
they were eaten. In the frequent extremity
of starvation in which all the earlier folk
were likely to find themselves once or
more each year, the neighboring but nor
mally hostile tribes doubtless afforded an
important source of food.
In these brutal conditions, when the hui
man population of country was divided
into tribes or clans, united among them
selves by the tie of q recognized common
blood, tho state of constant warfare doubt
less served to bring the process of natural
selection into very effective operation. The
clan which had tho most valor, was the
most provident, the best organized, which,
in word, had attained the greatest ad-
vance, would be the most likely to prevail
In the struggle, to dominate the land, and
thus to gain firm place, while the rela-
lively weak clans would receive the curse
which, in the ancient pre-moral ORDER
awaited tho incompetent. Here alone in
the series of man do we find war making
for human advance. So long as the van
auished wore utterly destroyed their bod
les eaten and their goods appropriated by
the conquerors the selective effect of war
was great and the rude engine worked in
certain directions for human advance
