| A strange story is told N Pl:ladel-
phia paper of how child's play.ting
cnoa had a soothing influence upon u
warIike Apache tribe, and was the
means of avoiding a serious war. It
happened when NJ. Bourke was here
IN Arizona with General Crook. The
general was trying 20 put a band OF
Apach6s tL..ck On the reserve. but could
not catch them without killing thsm,
and that he did not waL.- TO DE-. One
Gay lh-ss npsin captured a little InCian
girl and took her to the fort. She
was quiet all day. saying not word,
but her black beads of eyes watched
everything. When night came, how
ever, she. broke down ind sobbed just
as any white child would have done.
They tired in vain % comfort her,
and then Mr.. BOurke had an idea.
From the adjutant's VIE he borrowed
a pretty doll that belonged to her lit
tie daughter, and when the young
Apache was made to- understand that
it was hers 10 keep her sobs ceased and
she fell asleep. When morning came
the doll was still clasped in her arms
She played with it all day, and appar-
entity all thought of ever getting back
to her tribe had left her. Several days
passed, and as no overtures about the
return Of the papoose had been made
by the '.ribe, they sent her, with the
dol still in her possession, back to her
people Mr.. Bourke had no idea of the
effect his benevolent act would have
upon the Indians. When the child
reached them, with the pretty dciI in
its chubby hands, it made a great sen
sation amCcg them, and lG:er on its
mother came back to the post with it
She was kindly received and hospit-
ably treated, and through her the tribe
was soon afterward persuaded. to move
back to the reserve.

OUR NEW ORIENTAL CUSTOMER.


Japan is the subject of a monograph
just prepared by the treasury bureau
of statistics, and the figures show that
the United States has secured the best
share of the immense buying which
the Yankees CT the orient" are now
doing from other countries. Japan is
a nearer neighbor to the United States
than most people realize. Her ex-
change of mainland to Russia for the
line of Islands stretching uorthward
from her central group brings her ter
ritory within about five hun&Ced miles
Of that of the United Sta in the
Aleutian chain of islands, while at the
south the newly acquired island of For
mesa lies within lass than two hundred
miles of our rev holdings, the Philip
pines. Thus not only are the United
States and Japan 'neighbors" territor-
tally, but their insular possessions
combined stretch along the entire Pa
cifiic coast of Asia frcm arctic to
equatorial waters. In 1893 we export

How to Roll a silk Umbrella.

To be fashionable the silk umbrella
must not be so tightly rolled that it re
sembles cane, but it must be remem-
bered that unless it is properly rolled 1t
will soon come to grief and the silk show
signs of cutting" Before beginning to
roll shake out the silk until no part of it
is confined between the ribs, but all hangs
free. Then place the top of the handle
in the palm of the hand, with the fingers
closed to form a circle, With the right
hand, palm down, grasp the tips of the
rib turn the umbrella from you with
downward motion.s Then hold the UNI
brella firmly withathe left hand, while
with the right you take a fresh grasp at
the same place as Before and turn until
the left hand reaches the right; then,
when the strap or Ribbon is secured. the
umbrella will be perfectly smooth, with
every fold neat and snug and the tips in
an orderly circle near the handle. When
carefully rolled in this manner the silk
will lie firm and smooth, and there will
be no danger of irregular cuts from crush
ing at the folds.

White and Gold BELTS.

White leather belts are exceedingly
popular this season, but they are by
no means the only white girdle candi-
dates for feminine favor. White velvet
belts are worn by some maids who
have no hesitancy in spending money
for ephemeral toilet adjuncts. All
white belts are ephemeral of course
but the leather and chamois ones can
be cleaned while the velvet ones can
not-successfully. OF course, like
everything white, they must be per-
fectly immaculate to be pretty at all.
One of the newest white belts is made
of fine kid, embroidered, where it fas-
tens, with the owners monogram, in
gold thread instead of buckle They
may also be embroidered in an all yer
design with gold or silver thread and
fastened in front with a buckle of gold
or silver. These are Wond rfully at
tractive and bring good prices in the
shops even now.

Piglnies of Africa.

Herodotus records the existence of pig
mics in Africa-"a nation of little men
who wore garments made of palm leaves
Hundreds of years after the Father of
History wrote, Stanley saw them in the
gloom of a Central African forest and
held an interview with one of their prin-
cesses Later, Captain Burrows of the
Kongo Free State came across these lit
tie freaks more than once, and in his
book, The Land of the Pigmies," he de-
scribes their make and manners.
The pigmies' height brings them to the
shoulder of a man of average stature, al
though some of them stand no higher
than his chest There are black pigmies
and red pigmies. The bodies of the red
plgmies are not so hairy as those of ne
groes, but the blacks bodies are covered
with down. Although a well-proportioned
race, they are socially inferior to other
tribes They are nomads by nature and
wander from place to place, supporting
themselves by hunting. One place seems
to be as much home to them as ano.-.er.
If it is good hunting ground.
Their revengeful nature and their har-
dihood in war cause them to be feared.
They will lie and deceive, but they will
not steal.
The pigmy is an excellent archer. He
will shoot three or four arrows, one after
TIE other, with such rapidly that the
last will have left the bow before the first
has reached its goal. When an arrow
misses Its mark the pigmy flies into vio-
lent passion, breaking his bow and ar
rows in his rage. When it hits he pats his
left arm with his right hand an, chuckles.
A certain chief of the Momvus was big
and SO corpuient that he had to be carried
about in litter borne by four men. On
a certain occasion he was going with his
warriors to fight a neighboring chief, for

A SECOND VISIT.
John Maguire's Burglar Thought He
Had IA Good Thing.

John Maguire's burglar is an enter
prlsinE fellow. Not content with rob-
bing him of about 5000 in cash and
NaIuables night before last, his burg
Iarship returned last night to pay Mr.
Mcguire another visit He did not find
the eN-manager at home, so evidently
concluded to move him bag and bag
gage, Living i'm MissOula, Mr. Mcguire
merely kept his house here rather than
store his furniture, and when he came
over few days ago for a stay of two
or three weeks, he decided to occupy
the house. He brought with him a
small steamer trunk to carry his wear
ing apparel. This was at the house
and was unpacked. After the first
visit of the burglar Mr. Mcguire moved
to the Butte hotel, but left his trunk
at the house. Last night he went out
TO the house to see If everything was
all right, and found the side door brok-
en- in and the trunk all packed all
ready to be taken away. The burglar
evidently had been frightened away,
however, and nothing was missing.

Strangers passing through the bush are
fair game to the pigmes, who are cunning
in the art of compelling man to make a
target of himself. The pigmy fastens a
cord to his foot and affixes the other end
to the bough of tree that stretches
across the forest path. Concealed a few
yards off, the pigmy waits till he hears
some one coming; then ne gently pulls the
string so as to shake the bough. The

DEATH TRAP TO MANY.
a Large Number Of People Burnt to
Death in Hotel.

Flames which originated from the
igniting Of lace curtain burst from
the second floor Of the Windsor hotel
at Forty-seveuth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. New York, shortly after 3 o'clock
Friday afternoon, and in few minutes
they had leaped up to the roof and en-
veloped the entire Fifth avenue and
Forty-sevcnth street fronts Of the hotel.
Ten minutes later the flames we're roar
ing through the interior of the hotel,
and all means Of escape by way cf stair.
ways and elevators were cut OF and
there was the widest scene OF excite
ment within and without the building.
Hundreds of guests and employees were
in the hotel when the fire broke out,
and for many Of them escape with safe
ty was impossible.
Probably fifteen lives were lost within
a half hour, and 80 or 10 other persons
were injured in jumping from windows
and in rushing through the flames in
the corridors and on the s:airways.
Many who were injured died later at
nearby residences or at hospitals, and
others who made Wild leaps TO the stone
sidewalks were so badly injured that
they are still towering between life and
death. It may be u hours or more be-

OUR ELEPHANT.
What to Do With the Philippines is
the Question.

What to do with the Philippines is q
question which presses upon US with in
creasing force and increasing uncertain
ty as time passes. 1t is taken for
granted that wc shall finally subdue the
natives who are making desperate
struggle for independence, though
opinions differ as to whether that re-
suit will be accomplished in one Or fTs
years. But sooner or later we shall
hare the Philippines fully on our hands
aad the disposition Of them vii! be
forced upon Us as practical question.
Professor Clay MacCapley, Of Toxic:
Japan, visited the Philippines 10 Janu-
ary to study the problem for himself
The conclusions he reached have been
stated on his return to Toxic with
fraukness and freedom from part;zau
asperity which commend them to re.
specsful consideration. he went to
Manila strongly predisposed iu favor Of
annexation; he came away convinced
that annexation would be most unfor-
tunate thing both for this country and
the Filipinos. \ majority Of the Am
orleans in Manila, he says, are opposed
to annexation in any form. Professor
MacCauley does not discuss constitu-
tionai objections, but considers the
question as practical problem.
The annexation of the islands by
force he thinks would entail frequent
and almost incessant revolts, requiring
US to spend far more money to hold
them than they could possibly be worth
to US. To buy the Filipino insurgents
off would secure compromising gain
Of doubtful value. Another possibility
is the transfer Of the islands to the Phil
ippine republic, the United States re-
tanning Manila Bay and the forts.
This plan, however, would expose
the Philippines to the greed Of the
worlds powers and would be neither
honorable nor wise in the opinion of
Professor MacCauley. The third So
luton and the one he favors is to recog-
nize the autonomy Of the Philippines
under an American protectorate.
This would insure the independence
Of the republic in the administration Of
its internal affairs, our government tax
ing charge of toe supreme judiciary and
the foreign relations Of the republic.
Professor MacCauley believes that
only in this way can be secured peace
and prosperity both forthe United States
and tie Philippines.
He says: As for the subjugation of
the islands, it is folly to talk Of a war
Of conquest for the reason that the
climate, so good physicians tell me,
would place 50 soldiers out Of a hun
dred hors de combat in 50 days. The
intolerable hot season begins the latter
part Of March and lasts until August.
Moreover, F." ADDS Professor MacCauley
the Filipinos would have hundreds Of
miles of country to fight over, and their
tactics would be a guerilla warfare.
Every bamboo thicket and jungle would
be shelter for their rifles and the loss
of life and expense Of such a war would
be terrible. Professor MacCauley has
put the difficulties Of the Philippine
situation in very impressive manner,
bat he has probably not exaggerated
them in the least.
