THE AMERIND.
There Has Been an Attempt to give
New Name to Our
Ab0Figines.

An amerind is not, as anyone might
be excused for surmising, an East In.
dian date in thin shell. That is q
tamarind. An amerind is not fruit
at all. 1t is a name invented by the
Archaeological society in Washing
ton, and intended as substitute for
American Indian. A writer, N. Dellen-
baugh, who has published a book about
1.-THE North Americans of Yesterday"
is denounced by reviewer OF the
Evening Post because all through his
book he speaks of Indians as amer
inds, says E. S. Martin, in Harper's
Weekly. The Posts reviewer thinks
he ought to be ashamed, and there
seems to be due basis for that opinion.
A got-up name like amerind may do
for anthropologists, but it cannot hope
to pass current among real people. It
there is objection to calling our abor-
igines Indians because it has turned
out that they don't live in India, the
simplest remedy is to call them injuns.
There is no ambiguity about injun.
Everyone knows that it Is American
and not Asiatic. Moreover, it is a
word that has come up from the plain
people, and such word, .as we all
know, has far better chance to sur.
vive than any remedial epithet that is
thought out and launched by the
learned.

A DANGEROUS DESCENT.
Ing WOrl<men ON the Mag
ara Bridge.

Reckless daring is SO often displayed
by workmen whose daily labors place
them in positions of danger that those
who have to deal with them are aston
ished at no feat of bravado. Mr.. Frank
Skinner gives in McClure's Magazine
IN instance of this daring on the part
of men who were engaged in replacing
the Niagara suspension bridge.
It happened that SO many valuable
tools were dropped from the bridge
that some of the more careless losers
were discharged. Consequently, when
one day man dropped wrench 200
feet to the waters edge, he foolishly
started to recover it by descending
hand over hand on steeply inclined,
thin wire cable nearly 500 feet long.
He had no sooner started on his in
sane exploit than rival, out of sheer
bravado, essayed to descend an adj
jacent rope. After going few feet

INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS.
r,.an Of the Little An,..als Il DeeneA
. Dainty Dish by The
NAvajos.

The Navajo Indian, while he cannot
be prevailed upon to eat rabbit, is
greedily fond of fat prairie dogs.
Large communities of these small ani-
mails abound on the western plains,
and the Navajo has resorted to many
ingenious methods for trapping his
coveted dainty. One of them is by the
aid of a bit of mirror placed at the
entrance to burrow. When the ami
NAL ventures from his bedroom, deep
underground, he sees familiar
image hooking him at the front door.
and he hurries out to confront the
impudent intruder when he is pinned
to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt.
AS soon as the steady downpour OF
summer rain begins every Navajo
who can walk repairs to the prairie
dog village with hoes, sharp sticks,

they both realized the almost impossi.
BILE nature Of the journey they had un
dertaken, and tried to return. II
could not be done, and the only chance
of safety lay in continuing their de
scent.
It seemed to their Mortified compan'
ions that human muscles could not en-.
dure the increasing strain Of tina,
long passage downward. The foreman
shouted instructions, interspersed
with violent abuse, the object ofwhich
was to divert them from the fright That
added to their danger.
By what seemed almost miracle
both men held on until they had
crossed the water. Then one of them
dropped safely into tree top. The
other finally gave out, and fell con.
siderable distance to the ground.
Both, however, escaped practically un-
hurt.

pops out to see what the matter can
be. Many of the animals remain un-
derground until they are drowned,
and their bodies float to the surface.
After such a hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured, there is feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.

in the bunch" he reflected. "But
Bess!" He grit his teeth. II could
smother whoever fastened that name
on her. Elizabeth would be far
enough off-she must have middle
name that fits BETTER"
The meeting was rouser. The
three preachers-the rosy fat one,
the handsome slim one and the con-
sumptive ascetic-threw their whole
souls into the work, and it was truly
thrilling. The corpulent minister did
the exhorting, and stopped every few
minutes to catch his breath and cast
his eye shrewdly about for repentant
faces. When his glance ran along the
row of s'young men about town. it
rested upon Silver Sly. The editors
animated eyes, he thought were .
sure sign that the little man was
aroused. The preacher took glass
of water. saying to himself: II have
touched the editors heart-now to
preach right at him." The revivalist
plunged into an arraignment of the
particular vices prevailing in Platte

than stealing, for it robs the gambler
of honor and character. There is in
telligence. and ability in this town,
there are fine gifts, there is genius
ITSELF" he cried, "being stolen away
by this mania for winning money
with dice and cards!"
The line of young fellows WINGED,
almost to a man. The hymn book on
the organ rack slipped and fell vio-
lently upon the floor. Sly, the editor,
put his hand to his forehead, and
blushed alphabetically with the
sweet-faced girl who picked the book
up, not without confusion, but, heav-
ems! with what simplicity and grace
fitness!
In few minutes, as it seemed to
Sly, the preachers were passing PEN
ellis and little cards around which
bore printed lines and blank for
signature.
Everybody take card, whether he
wishes to sign it or not" said the
hearty preacher. Silver Sly heard the
man for the first time that evening.
He took one of the cards automatic
ally and passed some along the line
to his companions. The red-faced
preacher looked significantly to the
slim preacher, who was coming up
the aisle.
II notice that some of our friends
are without hymn books" said the
ascetic. II will ask Miss Swing to
kindly distribute. few of the
hymnals in this part of the house."
Some one in the gamblers row
started as If he had been hit. The
organist took q little pile of books
from chair and stepped beautifully
down the aisle. Silver Sly was afraid
that everybody in the church could
hear the humping of his heart.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.
4 Variety Of Information Cleaned
from Some Of the Best
Authorities,

To keep cheese moist and prevent
it's NEEDING wrap it in cloth wet with
cider vinegar.
Isinglass is sometimes adulterated
with gelatin. To test, place some Of
the isinglass in cold water. If it re
mains Opaque and does not smell it is
probably pure. # it smells and be
comes rather translucent it is adulter-
ated. Russian isinglass is the best,
says household authority.
A buffers rule for removing wine
stains from napery is to cover red
wine stains with white wine and vice
versa. Salt and boiling water are also
used. A claret stain is covered with
salt and sprinkled with white wine be-
fore the boiling water is poured over.
Don't buy butter if its exudes wa
ter. A simple test for the purity Of
butter is the following: Put some in
4 test tube half full Of water. Place
the tube in saucepan of water and
gradually raise the heat. Keep the
butter melted for fully half an hour.
IL deposit results or there is any
change in the uniformity Of color the
butter is impure.
Condensed milk is milk deprived OF
nearly all its water, and with cane
sugar added. It is perfectly whole
some, excepting in cases where sugar
cannot be allowed. To test the rich
ness Of milk sold by each OF, say, six
dairies, get from q chemist six test
tubes, fill each with sample Of milk
after thoroughly shaking it; let the
cubes stand for an hour and note the
comparative depth Of cream.
"Snickerdoodles'' is the somewhat
fantastic name Of quickly made little
cakes especially dear to the chill
dren's heart. A recipe for them, cop
led from an old scrap-book, says:
Stir together two cups Of sugar and
half cup Of butter. When creamy,
add two well-beaten eggs. then one
cup of milk with a teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in it; and, lastly, add
two and half cups Of -four, with two
teaspoonfuls. of cream Of tartar and
half spoonful Of salt. Beat the bat
ter thoroughly and bake in shallow
pans, busting the top Of the cake be-
fore baking with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake Is minutes and when cool cut
N squares. This recipe will make two
oanfuls, which viii cut into "a

Trait Common to All Humanity.

The regulations as to the costumes
to be worn at the coronation of the
king and queen of England have
brought joy to the hearts Of the tt
tied persons of both sexes who will
be present at the ceremony, says a
Paris newspaper. Love of distinctive
signs is not peculiar to the British
race or to our own. It is common to
all humanity. Napoleon displayed a
profound knowledge of mankind and
Of Frenchmen when he restored the
costumes of the old regime as well
rs the old titles of nobility.

FOR FASHIONS FOLLOWERS
Autumn and Early Winter Gowns.
Waists, Capes and Other
E'lnery.

The shirt waists of French flannel,
.halli, cloth, cashmere, and albatross,
that have taken the place Of the thin
ner styles, show tucks in groups and
tiny buttons as trimming. The man
ner of making these waists varies but
slightly from those of last spring, ex-
|cept that they are this season often
finished with turn-back cuffs and turn
down collars of silk. White wool
waists are in marked favor, and these
are trimmed either with very narrow
black velvet ribbon or white silk braid
and tiny gold buttons, or with white
or tinted silk briar-stitching. Similar
models in white taffeta silk have turn
back cuffs and collar covered with silk
embroidery or lace, says the New York
Post.
Sashes will be feature Of many e1e-
CANT evening gowns, and OF young
women's dresses in particular. They
are made variously Of chiffon, India
silk with hemstitched ends, Vatican
and Marie Antoinette ribbons, crepe
de chine, with knotted fringed ends,
and black velvet with white lace APP
plique bands as q finish.
It has been announced from official
sources that black costumes will lead
among elegant styles for calling, aft
ernoon receptions, etc. Most OF the
expensive French models are ightened
with green, mauve, red, or other col
ored velvets, with the addition of cost
ly black silk applique garnitures. But
side by side with these gowns are mod
els formed of the finest of cloth in va
rious pale, lovely shades. These
dresses are exhibited in delicate
shades of mauve, amethyst, silver blue,
sapphire blue, tan and green. Narrow
fur bands appear on few advance
styles for the winter, but the greater
portion show the simpler decorations.
Some of the newest of the autumn
gowns of velvety or satin-inished
cloth are distinguished for their sim
plicity, which is certainly an interest
ing feature of fashion, when such
elaborately-trimmed models greet one
on every side, yet it is evident that
silk stitching and stitched bands of
the dress fabric remain in great favor
for decorating cloth gowns: One pref
ty instance is pale fawn-colored
cloth, very soft and fine in texture,
and light in weight, like all the new
cloths which are used for dressy
gowns. The skirt is in two parts,
graduated in size and fullness, and
cut circular to fit the closely-gored
silk foundation skirt. These divisions
are rounded on the front, with the
finish Of stitched strap at the edge,
with pointed tabs tapping each other
down each side of the front. Each
tab is about six inches in length and
one and one-half inches wide. The
bodice, which also shows tapping tabs
of the cloth, has round yoke of
tucked cream silk, with fine cords of
green velvet set around at intervals
of one inch. The silk collar hand has
a turnover collar Of velvet covered
with rows OF stitching, and the green
velvet girdle is finished in like man
