The Indian mother, when her baby
dies, does not believe that swift angels
bear it into the sunshine Of the spirit
land, but she has beautiful dream to
solace her bereavement. The cruel
empty places which everywhere meet
the white mothers eye are unknown to
her, for to her tender fancy a little
spirit child fills them.
1t is not uncommon, says the author
of Little Folks Of Many Lands" to
see in Mexico OF in Canada pair of
elaborate tiny moccasins above little
Indian grave. A mothers fingers have
made them, a mothers hand has hung
them there, to help a baby's feet over
the long, rough road that stretches be-
tween his fathers wigwam and the
Great Chiefs happy hunting grounds.
Indians believe that q baby's spirit
cannot reach the spirit land until the
child, If living, would have been old
enough and strong enough to walk.
Until that time the little spirit hovers
about its mother. And often it grows
tired-oh, SO very tired-so the tender
mother carries papoose's cradle on
her back that the baby spirit may ride
and rest when it will.
The cradle is filed with the softest
feathers-for spirits rest more COM
fortably upon feathers; hard things
bruise them-and all papoose's old toys
dangle from its hood, for dead papoose
may like to play even as living papoose
did.

Eduard Remenyi, the Hungarian viO-

the gypsy music of his own country,
and this was the main characteristic
of his playing He had also fad for
playing Schubert melodies on the VIC

ers would listen intently after the tone
had ceased, imagining that they still

A successfu1 stratagem.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chile, a stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part
of the natives and to maintain the con-
nection between the stronghOlds on the
frontier. There were at the time be-
tween 40 and so captive Indians in the
Chilean camp. General Pinto. in COM
mand of the operations, called them to-
gether and. pointing to the telegraph
wires, said:
"Do you see those wiresW
Eyes, general"
II want you to remember not to go
near or touch them. for if you do your
hands will be held. and you will be I'M
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery In full
operation, after which he exclaimed:
81 command you to let go the wire"
81 can't! My hands are benumbed!'
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty, giving them strict instructions
to keep the secret This had the de-
sired effect. for. as might be expected,
the experience was related In the
strictest confidence to every man in the
tribe, and the telegraph remained I'M
molested.

on shrimp and young rock crabs among
the stones of the cribwork of the old
pier that formerly stood at Hollands
Landing, Jamaica bay" says Henry
Brand in Rod and Gun. They ap-
proach their prey very slowly and
without showing any motion Of their
fms and body. and after succeeding in
catching shrimp they would not dart
away the same as other fish do after
securing food, but would remain still
for awhile and begin to chew and then
slowly swim away. looking for more.
1.-THE blackfish is provided with a
pair of crushers situated in the back
part OF its mouth and consisting of two
fat groups Of ball shaped teeth be-
tween which they crush small crusta-
ceans and mussels before swallowing
them The crushing apparatus of IL
four pound hlackfish is about as large
as dime The blackfish seemingly
uses its teeth for loOsening mnssels
from their fastenings and to draw
small crustaceans from their hiding
places After the food is secured it is
passed to the crushers When il takes
an anglers bait and passes II 10 the
cruSher. Il peculiar succession of bites
is felt by the fisherman and many a
fine one is missed by the ANGLER being
too hasty to hook it after the first indi-
cation of fish taking the bait"

In Under Three Flags In Cuba" by
Musgrave. the author tells how a
scheme was hatched to. capture the no
torious General Weyler:
General Weyler walked nightly down
the Prado with only an aid and three
secret police sauntering behind Some
Cubans often debated with me the
feasibility of Selling him there one
night, dragging him down the steps t6
the Punta beach and shipping him
down the coast to Gomez. to be held rs
a hostage for ali Cuban prisoners. This
would have been easy in the darkness
with a launch and a tug in the offing
that could race the obsolete boats in
the harbor.
We worked persisentfy in planning
this. The guards were to be overpow-
cred by sudden onslaught from the
rear, the general seized. pinioned and
embarked. Lack of funds delayed the
attempt Finally we chartered Il tug
in Key West, but the owner drew back
at the last. and just as another boat
was offered Weyler was recalled.

LincnIn,s ofhnnd Why.

In 1861, when Mr.. Lincoln was on his
way to Washington to be inaugurated
as president. his train stopped at Roch-
ester, Pa. station on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. Mr..
Lincoln alighted from the car to stretch
his long limbs by walking on the sta
ton platform. His identity became
known to the townspeople assembled
there. and friendly conversation with
him ensued.
In reply to reference to the threat
ening political outlook he said. "Oh, nc
one has been hurt yet"
Seeing a tall man in the crowd Mr..
Lincoln remarked that he and the man
were of about the same height and pro
posed that they measure. They took of
their hats and stood together. back to
back, while some one placed hand
above their heads and found Mr.. Lin
coin to be slightly the taller.

"Mebbe 1t wasn't exactly a fiirta-

after awhile.
The Rev. Peters said he was using
the fan to drive away the flies and
bring a breath of cool air as he read
over the sermon he was to preach on
the following Sunday. He had neither
noticed the widow nor Angelina nor
her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted on being present. Yes, she
knew all about hirtations, but really
she hadn't the nerve to sit at an open
window under the eyes Of her neigh
bors and attempt a Irritation with a
clergyman and the pastor Of the church
she was soon to be member Of. If
she used her fan languidly, it was to
drive away the droning house flies; If
briskly, It was to warn darning nee

as she shook out her fan and smiled

And she went through such series
of motions and gestures as no elder Of
that church had ever seen before and
some of them almost found themselves
trying to reply to the signals.
"Well. Brother Harris, what shall
we do?" asked Deacon Spooner as the
widow retired.
Ill guess Angelina was mistaken"
was the hesitating reply.

While they were playing large tarpon
a shark came up and bit half moon

tarpon's belly This killed the tarpon,
but before it could be gated and pull

The marker promised to do so, and a
day or two later, on observing player

the culprit and remarked.
