The Legend Of Carteret.
From tic French cf Oscar Mtchon
BY AIRS HEKkING.

At the foot of the lighthouse of Car
tcrct stands ruined chapel, and on a
rugged height nearby are the ruins of
an ancient castle, the broken towers of
which can be seen quite a distance
from the coast. During Christmas
night the fishermen make it a point
never to pass near by, for on that night
the stained glass windows replace
themselves in the old chapel; huge
granite blocks spring up to restore the
crumbling walls, and even from Guern-
sey one can see fantastic lights gleam-
ing hither and thithcr within, and hear
ghostIy voices chanting the Christmas
hymns. Outside something shines like
the armor Of knight. A spectre
kneels before the closed door bowing
its forehead to the ground. All night
long the lights CLEAN and the voices
sing, until the cock crows. when the
supernatural disappears in the morning
mists, and only the ruin remains.

Towards the tenth century, Enguer-

Engucrrand, well on in years and

THE TAX IS VERY LOW.
Facts do not Bear out Claim
Of Injustice.

In the recent discussion of the
question of the collection of rev.
enues due the Cherokee nation all
the salient facts relative to it have
been brought out. 1t is more and
more apparent as the subject is
canvassed that there is nothing
wrong or unreasonable in the en-
forcement of this law. In the first
place the tax imposed is ridicu-
lously low, and in no instance is
it more than moiety of what it
might properly be. Secondly, the
courts have decided that the laws
under which it is sought to be COL
lected are not dead, but are still in
force and effect. This being true,
those who refuse to pay are left
absolutely without an excuse.
The tax is light-insignificant, and
the law requires its payment.
There is no effort at extortion, and
no desire to oppress any one.
Hence, those who have refused to
pay and have made SO much noise
about the injustice of the action Of
the interior department in collect
ing these revenues for the Chero-
kee nation find themselves in a
most unenviable attitude, and they
have put themselves in place
where. defense of their action is
impossible. The Cherokee nation
has not been abolished; the Indian
country has not been thrown open
to settlement. The title to the
lands of the Cherokee nation is
where it has been from the begin
ing Of their nationality, and they
are entitled to the same protection
under the treaties and law as
formerly.

The Princess Cleaned windows.

There is a funny little story
about the Princess Victoria. One
day her mother took her to visit
Queen Adelaide. The duchess
was obliged to leave the little one
alone with the queen for some
time and the latter, to make the
princess feel at home, said: "Now
my dear, you have an hour to
spend with me, and You shall do
exactly as you like"
Exactly as I like?' queried the
little princess doubtfully.
Eyes replied the queen, little
imagining what was to follow.
"Then, dear Aunt Adelaide
said the child, 'smay I be allowed
to clean the windows@
Queen Adelaide was somewhat
startled but the little one had
her way, setting to work with
sleeves carefully rolled up and an
apron tied around her waist.

Aluminium Household Utensils

"Not the least important of the many
valuable uses to which aluminium is
now being put is the manufacture of a
variety of culinary and household
utensils, like waiter kettles, tea and
coffee pots, saucepans, grill irons and
wash BOILERS" said a wholesale dealer
in the metal the other day. "For the
making OF all such articles aluminium
is an ideal material. Besides being
very light and hence far less cumber
some than any other metal OF equal
strength and durability now used in
cookery, aluminium is practically in.
corrodible. Then, too, it is claimed
by chemists that no food now known
to man can affect this metal in the
slightest degree. 1t is wholly free
from every form of poison and it will
not faint food. These are qualities
that are possessed by neither iron,
copper, tin nor lead. Furthermore,
it is better conductor of heat than
either of the other metals and is much
cheaper than most of them.
"The innocuous nature OF the metal
has also been found very useful in
surgery. 1t has recently been substi
tuted for silver as the material OF
which tubes are made to be insel tee
in the windpipes of patients on whom
the operation of tracheotomy, is per.
formed. For dental plates also alum
mum is particularly we'll adapted.

The Ideal Street Car,

The ideal car, from the railway
standpoint, is one of the convertible
type, which can be used ut all seasons
of the year and for every service. 1t
must be arranged in such manner as
to be agreeable alike to women and to
men who smoke. For long distance
runs transverse seats are desirable,
but these are at the expense Of stand
ing room. For short runs the longi-
tndinal seats are best, in which case
;he standing room is at the maximum.
As it is the standing load" that pays,
this is n most desirable feature.
The problem is still further COM
plicated by other demands and needs
Of the public, which, in addition to
points noted, wants car suited to
he weather. In winter it must be
closed and warm and in the summer
entirely open. But when open it must
admit of being easily and quickly
closed, and, when closed, as quickly
and easily opened. The car will not
be satisfactory unless it can readily
conform to the requirements of eli
mate tickle at all seasons of the year.
An Incredible number of convertible
ars have been built in the effort to
obtain design which will combine all
these features. They are to he found

railway. Until recently none had
reached, or even approached the ideal.
Some fatal defect had made itself

new type the reluctant vel dict was

A FILIPINO UNIFORM.
Would Fit n Twelve-Ycar-Old Doy-Mads
of Bright COlors.

OF brIRnu COiOrB.
Among the interesting trophies
soldiers in the Philippines have senI
to Des Moines, Iowa, is uniform
which Frank Merrill, OF Company H.
son of jeremiah NJ. Merrill, took
from captured Filipino and sent to
his parents in Des Moines. The uni
form is patterned somewhat after the
Spanish uniform, and is quite fan
tastic for use in war times. The red
and yellow combinations so popular
with the Spaniards appear on the
blouse OF the uniform.
Some idea of the inferiority OF the
Filipinos and their insigniicance as
compared with Americans can be had
from the size Of the uniform. 1t
would be good fit for twelve-year
old American boy, and it is easy to be-
lieve all that has been said concerning
the diminutive Filipinos after ex'
aiming this uniform.
The trousers to the uniform are OF
red calico and are made regular
paiama style, being tied ct the top
with straw string. Along the outer
seam Of the legs are stripes of black
velvet. The blouse is made of heavy
cotton material, which is woven with
alternate pin stripes of white and
black. The collar of the blouse is OF
red calico and is adorned in front
with two stripes OF yellow calico.
Tie cuffs of the blouse are also of
yellow calico, and bear three stripes
of yellow. The front of the jacket
bears six stripes of red and yellow
calico combined.
Altogether, the costume looks as if
it might have been designed by some
child who had a fondness for bright
colors. The sewing OH the garments
have been done with a sewing ma.
chine and the blouse has been fas.
tened with hooks and eyes and but.
tons similar to those in common use
