A Bad Lands Incident In Which Pros
fessor Marsh Figured.
To his intimates tho late Professor
Marsh was known not only as scientific
man of great ability and worldwide repu-
tation, but also as delightful compan-
ion, quick and witty, with keen appre-
citation of humor, and a narrator of capital
stories. One of these which he used to
tell Of himself with great effect, dealt
with u small adventure had many years
ago In the Rocky mountains.
The first month or two Of the trip had
been spent on the plains of Nebraska and
Wyoming, at that time the hunting ground
of Sioux and Cheyennes, who were bitterly
hostile and signs of whose presence near
the command were often seen. The whole
party realized that they were in danger
Gus country, and all hands were constant
ly on the watch for enemies and were care
full not to wander far from the command,
or If two or three fossil gatherers did 60
off from the main body they took with
them number of soldiers to stand guard
while they worked. After leaving this
dangerous region the expedition moved on
to the Bad Lands near Fort Bridger, where
there were but few Indians, and those
friendly ones, and the work OF gathering
fossils went on.
One day Professor Marsh was hard at
work oRhis knees In the bottom Of the
narrow ravine digging away the soil from
bone which stuck out of the bank. He
was entirely absorbed in his task and no.
ticed nothing Of what was going on about
him until tho brilliant sunlight, which
poured down on him, was cut OF by
dark shadow, and he looked up to SEQ
standing above him great, grim Indian
warrior, holding his rife ut ready. The
professors heart leaped into his throat.
He forgot where he was. He strove to
utter propltiatory How" but his dry
lips refused to form the word, and he coald
only swallow, trying to get rid of the lump
in his throat. Suddenly the savage bent
toward him and spoke. "Have the honor
of addressing Professor Othneil Charles
Marsh, the eminent paleontologist Of Yale
colleges" he inquired. The revulsion of
feeling was almost too much for the pro.
fessor who was now even less able to
speak than he had been before.
1t developed that the Indian as small
boy had been sent east, Christianized
educated, taught tho elements of theology
and sont back to the west to clvilize his
tribe, but he had not carried the civilian
ton far.-forest and Stream.

Siam are buried at CHAT, common to all
who cannot afford the considerable ex.

the wood of the funeral pyre has been CON

clean the bones. Those who can afford it
build the funeral pyre within their pri.

friends that they come and behold the
honor paid their dead. Tho bodies of those
intended for private cremation are en-.
balned and usually kept for some time
often many months.
One Siamese gentleman, when inviting
me to the proposed cremation of his broth

deceased had been awaiting combustion
for year. The extent and character of

entirely on the length Of purse of the de-

How Queer 1t Feels to View Our
selves In That Light.
II had strange experience at Cincin-
natl the other day." said travelling man,
chatting with some friends in his hotel
lobby. 81 had some time to kill and had
dropped in at an afternoon vaudeville per-
formance, where, as usual, they had the
vitascope. One Of the views was re.
markably good street scene in New York,
taken on Broadway, nenr the corner of
Thirtieth street. A tremendous crowd
was surglng down the pavement, and as
the figures reached tho foreground of the
picture they became very large at least
life size.
las stared at tho throng my eyes were
suddenly riveted on man and woman
walking together and somewhat detached
from the others. I cannot describe my
shock Of amazement when I recognized
the man as myself and the woman as my
wife. We were apparently absorbed in
conversation, and, as we drew rapidly
near my wife seemed to call my attention
to something across tho street. I looked
up and smiled, and, as did so, we passed
over tho circular margin of the picture
and vanished as swiftly as dream.
MY heart was beating like drum
and as glared at tho appariton l had
risen unconsciously from my seat. 1t
seemed strange beyond expression, and l
don't know how long might have stood
there transtlxcd if some one had not re-
called me to earth by requesting me to sit
down. The picture was taken last sum
mcr when my wife and I were visiting in
the north, and gradually I recalled the
exact incident.
II remembered distinctly the day we
walked down Broadway together and also
that my vito called my attention to a
cnmcal baby growing in the arms of a
nurse at one of tho windows of the Gilscy
House. That was evidently when I glanced
up and smiled. l looked older than l
would have thought and also stouter. I
tell you it gives one n queer feeling to sec
himself as others see him. New Orleans

merits or dement's of tho word trans.

concerning the late Rev. Dr. Coke, father
of tho lato Bishop Coke of western New
York, MAY be Of interest. The writer's
good friend, the late Rev. DR.. John Ire.
land Tucker Of Troy, an old Brooklyn
man, told him that he was once present
at a funeral in Brooklyn where DR.. Coke,
although Presbyterian, used tho Episoo-
pal burial service. After reading the
words 1--WE shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed" tho doctor looked up In
evident doubt as to whether his hearers
understood the sense of that great phrase.
After q pause he said, Transformed, my

PUPILS IN HOTEL LIFE.

/ Chicago scheme by Which Wome n
Train Themselves For Travel.
"Thcre goes pupil in hotel life," said
the clork. He nodded toward modest
little woman dressed In black who had
just called for her key and was standing
short distance away waiting for the ele-
vatOr
"a pupil in hotel life?" repeated the
listener wonderingly.
Eyes Haven't you heard of the plan
adopted by Chicago women nowadays
when they are consumed by desire to
travel and learn the ways Of the world,
but have not the means to crafty their
ambitionS It's becoming quito the thing.
You see, they all think they may have an
opportunity to go away from homo and
stop at big houses some day, and, in an
tlcipation of that event, they are trying to
learn how to conduct themselves when
the crucial test comes.
"This hotel is u favorite resort of the
noyitiate. can spot one Of the beginners
every time, but they soon get the crude
ness toned down so that can hardly tell
them from thoroughbred travellers. Their
plan is certainly original. Whenever they
lluNc u low uOllitFS lLttu JIty spare ullu
an opportunity to leave home for day or
two without causing comment they come
down here or to some other first class
house and register with as much impor-
lance as if they had just como in from
Europe, or St. Lonis at least. They learn
how to engage II room, call for their mail
which is generally written by them
selves to thcmselves-and order meals in
largo restaurant with as much grace as
If twO-thirds of their whole lives had been
spent on the road.
1T takes practice to wear away the
rough edges, to be sure, but if the town
should be destroyed by general con-
flagration and the female portion of the
population be compelled to 60 to other
cities and put up at hotels, they could
pass through tho ordeal with credit to
themselves and the town. This system
of training is comparatively inexpensive,
considering the value received, and, in my
opinion, is highly commendable One of
the most pitiablo sights one can witness
is to see a woman traveller make fool OF
herself which she is bound to do if she
hash t had little preparatory experience. "
