TAMAHAC OR TOMAHAWKa
The War Hatches of the Indian as
1t Was in IT'S Earlier
Form.


Tamahac eventually came to desig-
nate the war Ratchet" of the Indian,
supplied by the military commanders
of the whole continent in equipping
the warriors on the many expeditions
In which French and English were con-
ssantly engaged, andwas furnished the
Indian allies of the English in our
wax of independence. This weapon,
says the annual report of the Smith
form of spear or hatchet blade on
one side, while upon the opposite side
there was a cup-like cavity with "
small hole extending into the eye of
the weapon, into which tough handle
of wood was fitted is inches or two
feet in length. The handle was perfor-
ated almost its entire length, and be-
low the hollow of the bowlit was bored
at right angles to this perforation,
suitable stemhole for the passage of
the tobacco smoke when the implement
was in use as pipe. The tomahawk
pipe was not only attractive and popu-
lar in trtade, but, like the earlier trade
pipe, was given as a present at councils
and rntifications of treaties; it was a
pipe, n hatchet, and mace or ham
mer all in one, and answered an impor-
tant military requirement in lessening
the weight and incumbrances of the
warrior, who otherwise would have
tenaciously held 10 the stone pipe.
which, in itself, was heavier than the
tomahawk.

POLITE TO A CUSTOMER.
The Obiigins Hiberninr Clerk Gave
Him Precisely What lie
Asked For.

Apropos of the ready comprehen-
sion and native wit attributed to the
sons of Erin, Patrick's compliance
with the customers wish stands out
In bold opposition, says the Chicago
Post. Patrick was clerk in a sub
urban grocery store. 1t was busy
season and the grocer was waiting
upon two or three customers at the
same time. He was in n hurry, and
everything had to be where he could
get it without much trouble or he
would be delayed and probably lose
money, so when he found that the
pound weight was gone he was both
cred.
Patrick" he called out, where's s
the pound weight"
!, "The pound weight, is it?" said Pat
rick. complacently,. "Sure, an it's
Misther Jones has the pound weight" J"
"AIr. Jones has it? What do you
mean by saying that Mr.. Jones has
the pound weight? I thought the
pInd weight stayed in the store.
How did Mr. Jones get it?"
''An' shure, didn't ycz tell me to
be perlite to the regular customers?'
"Of course"
"Well, thin, Misther Jones comes
into the store for pound of tay.
An, says he, whin asked him what
quality of tay he wud have: What
iver yez give me- says he, give me
the weight So put the pound
weight in the package with the tay,

ARAB HORSES.
Their Wants Are Few md They Are
Hardy and Capable of Great
Exertion.

So much has been written about the
respect of an Arab for his horse that
it is natural to think Of the Arab steed
as peculiarly delicate and sensitive to
adverse influences. This is not the
case, says Youths Companion. The
wants of an Arab horse are few, and he
will maintain his health and spirits
under conditions which other horses
could never endure.
Indeed, not only can he put up with
hardships at pinch, but he actually
deteriorates if too carefully tended.
This has been proved again and again
by purchasers who have refused to
believe the usual three feeds of grain
day to be too much, or the morning
hour of walking exercise too little.
The fact is that an Arab is naturally
so highspirited, and so difficult to tire,
that even eingle feed Of corn is excess
sive unless he is being subjected to en-
ceptionally hard work. He will answer
every requirement as a hunter, II his
food is restricted to hay, or even to
grass. In the summer he thrives best
when he has the run of paddock,
and can regulate his own food and ex-
ercise,
These remarks apply TO the ordinary
Arab horse in everyday life. What n
picked animal can do when put upon
his mettle is almost beyond belief. An
officer recently returned from the Sou
dan says that after ride Of 800 miles
his horse showed no signs Of over-work,
although he had cast all his shoes be-
fore quarter of the journey was ac-
complishcd. Many of the camels had
died on the way, and others had suf-
fered severely, but the Arab horse was
unhurt.
IT was an Arab that, at Firozpur,
carried 146 pounds and won ten-mile
race in 25 minutes, feat of endurance
rarely If ever equaled.

Archibald Forbes Experience with
Colored Cabmaa.
There is n delightfully."- human story
which Archibald Forbes, the famous
war correspondent, told, rather at his
own expense, of his qualification at
the apparent desire of the "man and
brother" for higher intellectual cul-
ture. On arriving at the station at
West Chester, Pa, where he was to
lecture, a colored cabman, it is said
offered his services to convey him to
his hotel When he got there, Mr..
Forbes asked the extent of remunera-
tion expected for the journey. The
darky replied:
well, sab, II you'd jes' give me Il
ticket to de lectur, sab. should be
right glad"
This unusual request from cabmnn
struck him not only as singular and
laudable, but as quite complimentary
to him, 30 he said:
missls?"
"Oh. yes, sab; Use got missis"
"Well, you shall have one for her."
And he requested his agent to hand
to the knowledge seeker the requisite
passes for the entertainment. On
|. reaching the lecture room he cast n
glance over the audience to see his col
ored friend, but he had not arrived,
nor did he put in an appearance. Next
morning on getting into the same
mans vehicle to go to the station. Mt.
Forbes said:
~ didn't see you at the lecture last
night"

THE WIND AT TIE DOOR.


Often to my door
Comes twilight visitor.
When the mountain summer day
From o;Y valley takes his way,
And the ,ourneying shadows stride
Over th- green mountain side,
Down the Glove among the trees
Moves the ghostly wandering breeze
With the first stars on the crest
And the pale light in the west
lie comes up the dark rayine
Where no traveller is seen.
Yet his coming makes a stir
In the house OF Ash and Fir.
Master, is't in our abode
You will tarry on the road"
NAY, like your roof tree we'll.
But with you ! may not dwell"
Birchcs whisper at their sill
AS he passes up the hill,
"Stranger, underneath our boughs
There is ample room to house"
Friends, have another quest
Than your cool abiding rest
And the Huttering Aspen knows
Whose step by her doorway goes
"Honor, lord. thy silver tree
And the chamber laid for thee"
NAY, ! must be faring on,
For tonight l seek my own.
Breath OF the rod dust is he
And q wayfarer like me;
Here moment and then lost
On a trail confused and crossed.
And gently would surprise
Recognition in his eyes;
Touch his hand and talk with him
When the forest light is dim,
Taking counsel with the lord
OF the utterable word"
Hark, did you hear some one try
The west window ,furtiyely
And then move among the leaves
In the shadow OF the caves?
The reed curtain at the door
Rustled: there's my visitor
Who comes searching for his kin,
ENTER, brother, I'm within"
