And Re Guided by Music Your Best
Girl Plays.
There are worse ways OF choosing a
wife than by the music she plays and
the way she plays it. If a girl mani
tests a prediction for Strauss she is
frivolous; for Beethoven, she is i'm
practical; for List, she is too ambi-
tious; for Verdi, she is sentimental:
for Offenbach, she is giddy for Gounod.
she is lackadaisical; for Gottschalk,
she is SUPERFICIAL; for Mozart, she is
prudish; for Flotow, she is common
place; for Wagner, she is idlctic. The
girl who hammers away at "Maiden's
Prayer" anvil Chorus" and "Silvery
Waves" may be depended upon as a
good cook and healthful, and if she
includes Battle of Prague" and the
white Cockade" in her repertory, you
ought to know that she has been reIig-
iously and strictly nurtured. But, last
of all, pin thou thy faith upon the cal

She cuts the plaster in long, thin

it on the wrong side of the silk after

not get at it we'll with an iron. she
presses the plaster down we'll with her

eagles in good condition to furnish the
requisite number. When a great chief
is going into battle, in a spirit OF
bravado he strips off all of his clothing
except this and his girdle. This splen-
did headpiece towers above his head
and streams behind him on the breeze
as he rides to combat. One of the head
pieces on the generals walls has
bullet hole through it and is stained
with the blood of the chief who owned
it, and who, in his frenzied death
throes, tore out many of the feathers. y

In His Washington Home he has Indian and
Spanish Trophies That Comprise
Some Valuable Relics.

When General Nelson A. Miles NOV
ed into his newly purchased house in
Washington last fall he found long
light room which had been built for a
picture gallery, but which had never
been used for that purpose. Mrs.
Miles at once pronounced it to be "the
very place for the generals trash. y
The trash" consists of a peculiarly
Interesting and valuable collection OF
characteristic Indian implements and
ornaments, which General Miles had
gathered in his Western campaigns and
visits from Mexico to Alaska. Many
Of them were presented as tributes of
admiration to the great white chief
by friendly or subjugated tribes and
chieftainS. The circumstances under
which some of them were given mark
epochs in the generals career. and
are held in especial regard by him for
their memories and associations. As
whole, the collection is of supreme
value to the student Of ethnology and
to those who treasure distinctive
North American types, reminders of
which are becoming obiterated so
rapidly and SO thoroughly.
General Miles collection is probably
private one in the country. and he has
some things not to be found even in
any museum or institute. He has, as
yet. made no attempt to catalogue or
classify the collection. the various ar
ticles being distributed merely in such
manner as to produce the most artistic
and pleasing effect, the date, history
and significance of each being carried
in his mind. Until recently they were
carefully looked after by an old sol
dier and servant who had seen more
than a quarter of century of service
in the United States army, and who
was as proud of the collection as if it
had been his own. relinquishing his
charge only when summoned from his
post by death.
Although the room is primarily and
pre-eminently set apart for North
American Indian relics, there are few
reminders of other phases of the gen.
erals service and travels. Over one
mantel extends a handsome Spanish
flag which only year ago waved over
a Cuban fort, and two coats of arms
which came from the same place. Ly-
ing on the mantel are the shining
machete which belonged to the first
Spanish officer killed in the late war
and number of firearms taken from
officers and soldiers in Cuba. and on
the floor at one side is a pile of Mauser
rifles recently in the service of Spain.
One of the most striking features in
the room is a large and costly robe
made of the finest native Russian furs
combined in unique and effective de-
sign. Beneath this rug is a couch COW
cred with what one would at first
glance take to be a piece of Indian
work, so closely does it harmonic with
the other Indian pieces in the room,
but which is really product Of Greek
Industry. 1t is rather startling to find
extremes of civilization meeting in
this way And there are other re-
semblanees," General Miles asserted.
LOOK at this shoe OF a Greek noun
taineer; it is not so different from this
