United States judges, who have to do
with cases in which Indians are wit

man is asked if he was drunk on a cer-

of it, but an Indian Will say yes" if
he was. On one occasion lawyer asked
squaw if she understood the nature
of her obligation in giving testimony.
She answered that she had taken a
''strong word" to tell the truth and she
would do so. She was then asked to
define the difference between the truth
and lie, whereupon she said: "The
truth is the truth, and lie is lie
They are different, and you can't make
them alike" How many white wit

The first night after Uncle Julian

OF course, there was Jose and little
Juan-but they were so dirty and so
ragged"
They'll do! They'll do, Uncle
Julian! Tell about 'em!"
A little smile that was half-tender
grew round Uncle Julian's lips.
"The little rascals!" he said. "They
sold me my papers and blacked my

THE QUEEN OF SWAZILAND.

to which in the center of the forehead
are a snakes bladder and brilliant
red feather of the laurel bird.
Like other monarchs, Queen Nabo
can be very suave and nice when she
pleases, and she can also be exceeding
ly naughty and frigid of demeanor.
1t is harsh thing to say about u royal
lady of Nabo's ability, but the truth
is that, next to power, her majesty
loves rum, or drinks that go under
that generic term. She drinks no ma
tive distil.ation, but the white mans
good imported liquor, and lots of it.
In fact, Nabo 'Tsebcni is great drunk
ard. Her enemies say she is "fuddled"
most of the time. She does not seem
to let rum interfere with business,
however. Apart from the firewater,
the queen has no particular regard for
the products of civilization. She pre-
fers the native rug or blanket as
costume TO the finest creation of
Worth, and her food and manner of liv-
ing have never changed, but remain
as they were in the days when Umban-
dine first took her, a slim young girl
for rwife.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

PERFUMES IN AGAIN.
Society Danes Have Returned to the
Use of Fragrant Extracts After
n Season of Suchets.

Perfumes are again used by the
smaa set after having been long tab.
coed. For several years extracts of
any kind have been considered vulgar
by those who set the fashions.
Sachet powders and scented amulets
were scattered in profusion in trunks
and wardrobes, and to the apparel of
fashionable women clung a faint
sweet, indefinable odor. 1t did not re-
solve itself into the perfume of any
flower. Often a gown was hung in a
case prepared for that purpose and
costly oils burned under it until it was
saturated with n sort of incense.
That was an expensive fad, how
ever, and only within the reach of a
favored few. Mrs. Howard Gould had a
gown perfumed in this manner.
Now a particular flower is selected
and the real extract used by women OF
the most fastidious taste. Violet is
not so great a favorite as lily-of-the-
valley.
The sweet, spicy fragrance of the
carnation is also in high favor One
of the newest of these perfumes is a
rose extract that breathes the sweet
ness of handful of shattered rose
petals. But some people with scnsi-
tive nerves find this perfume nauseat-
ing. Newmown hay, once so popular,
is seldom used. OF course nothing that
in any way suggests musk is permis-
sible.
These perfumes are never poured on
the handkerchief. They are sprayed
on the entire costume with the most
delicate of atomizers. They must be
used sparingly. One society leader in
New York has her clothes receptacles
lined with quilted sachets of orris root
and lavender. She always suggests the
faint, clean odor of the linen chest of
the grandmother of long ago. She
has never used any other perfume.-N.

1900 miles from this city, but he
wants all dogs muzzled here. Senator
Carter, of Montana, who will soon bo
in Helena, 1000 miles distant, demands
that our dogs be tortured in this man
ner. Senator Platt, of New York, has
lifted his eyes from his political plans
long enough to coincide in this mat
teh. And Senator Rawlins, of Utah,
who surely lives far enough away to
be free from hydrophobia in this city,
also demands that our dogs shall all
be muzzled.
All of this local excitement has re-
suited in profound study of hydro
phobia and rabies by some of our
learned men, and the majority of them
ridicule the phantom on which our
commissioners have based their action.
Science demonstrates that there is
such a disease as hydrophobia in man,
although it is of exceedingly rare oc-
currence and not traceable to aonta-
gion or infection. There is no such
disease as hydrophobia in animals.
There is disease known as rabies in
some animals and dogs are sometimes
affected by it, but even this disease is
never found in dogs that are domest-
Gated and well cared for. In every COM
munity the cry of mad dog" is heard,
but not one man in $4,000 ever saw a
mad dog.
Experience makes it manifest that
muzzling dogs does no good whatever,

QUEER BIRD HOMES.
The Astounding Plnccs In WHICH
Some birds Have Elected to
BuiId Their Meats.

In sleepy old village in England there
Is n quaint little stone church which
has stood for more than one century.
1t is a great place for feathered song
sters, and many birds attend service
every Sunday during the summer. One
Sabbath the vicar on going up to the
reading desk was astonished to see
that under one cover of the open Bible
was a. .newly-constructed nest, in which
reposed robin redbreast.
Early in the week she and her mate
must have settled on this place as a
congenial home and during the days
following had worked might and main
TO get things in shape for housekeep-
ing. The vicar could not bear to dis
turb the robins, and so he procured an
other Bible, allowing the pious birds

The dog must remain in the backyard
all day now; but in the evening, after
the dog catchers have gone to roost,
he shall go out on the streets. He is
perfectly harmless by day as well as by
night but these inhuman commission
ers have the power to declare all dogs
dangerous, and their dictum is com
pulsory upon all citizens"
These commissioners of ours may
declare that hydrophobia exists when
it does not exist, and we must assume
that il does exist. They may declare
that the dog days" are in December
instead of August, and we must agree
with them, although in our neighbor-
ing city Of Baltimore, and everywhere
else, the dog days" continue TO be On
August. Our commissioners may de-
clare that all dogs have rabies, when
there is not mad dog here; and our
citizens must submit to their autoc-
racy. Rulers of that kind could break
camel's back with the weight of an
argument, or draw an inference with
horse power.
Strangest thing Of all. the commits
sioners have the backing of alleged
statesmen in their crusade against the
dogs. Senator's and representatives

is not in session have urged the con-
tinuance of the muzzle order. SEN

ROUGH SCHOOL OF WAR.
East Indian Boys Taught Endurance
by Methods That Seem Almost
Bnrbarous.

In view of gathering war clouds,
and the possibility of a tremendous
struggle between mighty nations in
the not far distant future, in which
India may be called on to bear n
hand, either as a friend to Great Brit
ain or as n foeman, it may be worth
while to cast u glance at the men
themselves who are likely to take
part in the trouble that now seems
gathering. To the western mind all
that appertains to the east, all that
contains in it a suggestion of the
oriental, brings with it an uncon-
scious vision of luxury, of soft cush-
ions, downy divans, flowing robes of
most delicate silks, life of languor
under skies perpetually sunny, and
an existence far remote from the rude
shock of war and combat. We are
very apt to look down upon these
men, for the reason, perhaps, that we
are not able to understand them. and,
therefore, in our own calm, unbiased
and impartial fashion, feel little
contempt for them. But to one who
knows the country and the people who
inhabit it these thoughts do not come,
for he understands the situation as it
is and is able to comprehend it intelli-
gently.
From his youth up the Indian boy,
whether of high or low caste, is care
fully trained to a wonderful athletic
perfection. This training is not, as it
is with us. thing of science and sys-
tenn, but it falls into step with their
everyday life, and, more than that,
becomes at all times a part of it.
The practice of massage is universal
and it is applied in more practical
manner than we know it. The pic
ture shows a remarkable method
sometimes used. Those who have
studied the history of India can APP

A wild man was caught in Kentucky
recently. He had been seen a number
Of times by various persons, all OF
whom were very much alarmed, but all
efforts 10 catch him proved fruitless
until farmer set two of his strongest
wolf traps at cave where the man had
been sleeping. He was caught in both,
traps, by the nose and right hand, and
when found was trying 20 extricate his
nose. He set up a dismal howl and
started to run, but was surrounded,
tied and then released from the traps.
For several days he would not sneak n
word and acted like wild beast. Then
he talked, gave his name, and said that
he supported himself by fishing and
catching game with his hands. The
nails on his hands and feet are like
talons, and he is completely covered
with hair. He will be sent to anpsylum
for the insane.

the men who so long blocked Eng

tion at bay on more than one hard
contested field. With them childken
begin to walk at an extremely early
age, and no sooner learn to walk than
they learn to ride. This, il is true,
applies more to the tribesmen of the

the buyers and sellers of merchan-
disc who make the ssldiers of the
English regiments and who may be
called on to take up arms under the
union jack for defense of the empire.
When wrestling, they usually Njp
each other on the shoulders with a
fearful hold, which has been known
in the heat of excitement actually to
tear the flesh. Then, too, they are
accustomed throughout their lives to
the carrying of heavy weights, so that
nan who seems far gone in years
can, thanks to his excellent training,
lift and transport with ease n burden
that would stagger an Englishman or
an American to his knees after few
steps. Then, too, they are remarkably
keen of eye. Trained to the throwing
of the spear, heavy weights, etc, it is
but short step to the accurate use
of a rifle, in which respect, one might
say, they resemble North American
Indians, who took to the weapons of
civilization with the greatest of ease
and used them in a manner far supe-
rior to their originators.-Cinc

QUEEN OF SWAZILAND.
Next to Power This Savage Potentatc
Loves the White Mans Rum and

The crafty and cruel dcwager EN-
press of China has u very striking
counterpart in Nabo 'Tsebeni, the ruler
of the Swazis. Along with the war
news from that part of the world have
come recently many accounts of the
high-handed doings of the Swazi queen.
Swaziland is an independent native
kingdom under the protection of the
South African republic. AS the Beers
have just now enough to do protecting
themselves, Nabo 'Tsebeni is not inter-
fered with in her little diversions.
Only the other day news was received
of how Queen Nabo had cleared the
political atmosphere of her dominion
by eliminating in the most approved
Cromwellian manner a number of OBJ
jectionable court officials, one among
the number being her own son.
Queen Nabo is about so years old, and
is not handsome according to the de-
based standards of the white man, but
figger of woman" When she was mar
ried she was a slim young woman and
was a great belle. She looks taller
than she really is, owing to the meth
cd by which she, in common with the
other women of her country, dresses
her hair. BY some mysterious process
