Hartford (Conn.) Special Chicago
Tribune: Hetty Arms is dead, and so
passes away the sole link that existed
between the writer of Uncle Toms
Cabin" Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
the South. Mrs. Henrietta Mckay
Arms was southern to the core, but
she nursed Mrs. Stowe to her dying
day, She was her friend and compan-
ion for years. Mrs. Arms was a Vlr-
ginian. Her father was Taverner Nc
Kay, and a hotter southerner never
drew breath. Her husband was equally
anxious for war. Mrs. Arms husband
died soon after the war closed, ana In
the end she lost all her property. She
drifted to Hartford and took up 1urs-
ing. Fate led her to Mrs. Stoves en-
ploy, and this hater OF all 0ngs

FUTURE OF INDIAN GIRLS.
Plans for Teaching Them the OLD
Household Arts.

Plans for Teaching Them the Old
Household Arts.
1t is said that a good many people
who are interested in the future Of the
Indians feel sure that one of the most
serious problems is what to do with
the young girls who have been edu-
Gated in the government schols. When
they return to their homes in the vari-
Gus reservations they find so little to
work with that a large part of their
education is as good as wasted. A Bos-
ton lady has just received a copy of
a letter, written by Miss NJ. E. Dis
settle, supervising teacher at Santa Fe,
which outlines plan for helping some
OF the Pueblo girls and women and
making their education useful. The
aim is to show them how to make the
best of their limited resources, to take
care of family with the most comfort
on the smallest amount of cash, and to
lift the home above the level of
squalor. To bring this about the Eng
disappearing girls will be taught to
make soap and candles by hand, to
spin WOOL knit stockings by machine
and by hand, weave clothing that will
be acceptable to their own people, and
to cut and make garments for both
sexes in all sizes.

"Fiddling Dave" of New Mexico.

Foraker's Ranch, Grant County, N.
M, April 1O.-"Fiddling Dave" stopped
at the ranch last night on his way

he is due to play for the cowboy dance
next Thursday night. Don't ask who
Fiddling Dave is unless you want to
air your profound ignorance of the
best-known parsonage in the territory
of New Mexico, not barring Governor
Otero. For quarter of century F'ld-
ding Dave has furnished the music for
cowpunchers' and miners dances on
every range and in every camp in this
section of the country. The little
schoolhouse on the Gila river has many
a time resounded with the festive notes
from his SCARED instrument; the Red
Onion saloon in Silver City has heard
it's dulcet tones; the miners at the
Mongollon camp, ninety miles back in
the mountains, have kicked their hob

from Mule creek to Lordsburg Dave

A BRIGHT SIOUX MAIDEN.

A striking example of the wonders
being accomplished through education
in the Indian race is offered by the
case of Zitkala-Sa, a young Sioux girl,
who is attracting considerable atten-
tion through her brilliant attainments.
She is finished violinist, an elocu-
Zionist Of more than ordinary ability,
an author and a young lady of wide
culture besides ZitkalaSa, which
means Red Bird, was born at the
Yankton agency, South Dakota, and is
a member of the Sioux tribe. She ran
wild over the prairies until eight years
old, when some missionaries visited
the agency and took her along with
some other children to their school in

Gen. Louis Botha, the ablest by far
of the Boer generals, is the new COM
mander-in-chief of the Boer army sue
ceeding the late Gen. Joubert. Botha is
brilliant soldier and an able strate-
gist. He was at Swartkop and Spion
Kop when Butler crossed the Tugela.
He was in front of Ladysmith and
there he fought with cunning
which the conservative correspondents
present say was indispensable. He
covered the zone of fire in front of his
lines with English dead and wounded,
and he brought off his guns and men
every time a retreat or change of base
was necessary. There are many other
able soldiers among the Beers. Com
mandant Olivier recently performed
brilliant feat in landing his army of
5000 men and wagon train, rs miles
long, between the British lines and the

among the first, although little heard
of yet. He is in charge of the Zout-

as Matabele warrior. 1t is not hard
to understand this when it is known
that he is an Irish-Boer descendant of

but is still ever proud of its Irish
blood Tom Kelly speaks only Dutch

teenth century, it has since that time
fiourished greatly, until now at the
present day there are no less than six
ty-two firms registered as diamond
companies in this great city. When
the diamonds first arrive in Amster-
dam they are in the same rough uncut
state as they were when found in the
South African mines. Before reaching
their highly polished state they have
to pass through three separate and dis
tinct processes-the processes of dia-
mond splitting, diamond cutting and
diamond polishing, and when these are
accomplished the stones are ready for
the jeweler. Diamond splitting and
diamond cutting look somewhat alike,
as the tools are very similar, but IN
reality the process is not the same, the
great difference being that pressure is
used in the first instance always on the
same spot, with the idea of causing
the diamond to split into two stones;
while in the other case it is used
equally on every part of the diamond,
in order to give it simply a round
shape. To gain this roundness is,
therefore, the one leading idea of dia-
mond cutting. AS the diamonds are
cut fine dust falls from them into
wooden box on the table, and this pow
der is most carefully preserved, as it
is used largely in diamond polishing
when mixed with oil. AS the object of
diamond cutting is simply to make the
stone a round one, so the object of dia-
mond polishing is to give the diamond
the many sides" Ito use technical

Tree Planting Gus toms.

In many countries the custom OF
planting trees to mark special events
is we'll known, and in Japan the birth
of a child is thus commemorated. The
sapling is carefully tended until it is
fully grown; and when the child is
grown up and about to be married, it
is cut down and made into furniture
for the home Of the young couple.
