THE DELToID MUSCLE.
It PIays . Prominent Part fn the Busfhess of the Custom
 TauOrA

Tt Is rare thing" said the talking man, relates the Washington Star, ito find a merchant tailor who can get perfect fit in the clothes he makes. So rare in fact that have sometimes thought that tailors, of all artisans. knew least how to do their work right. Yet the tailor, or the cutter rather, is not always to blame, for a perfectly cut garment may be often set askew by careless maker, who by crooked seam or slight departure from the line sci for his needle may throw the who.e thing out of plumb. Still, good tailor ought to know when garment fits. and should either be able to correct it's unfitness or not let 1t leave the shop. Speaking of the cutting part. remem- Der an incident that occurred once at convention of cutters held in Cincin- nati The subject for discussion was the cutting and fitting of garmentA and testy old Scotchman had the floor. He said in effect that if coat were cut to set right upon the deltoid muscle that the wearer would always find it comfortable and well fitting.
 Tn fact said he, the deltoid mus cle determines the fit of coat
 Will the gentleman state what and where the deltoid muscle is? asked 6 cutter on the other side of the cham Der.
 The Scotchman turned on him sharply.
 Sir he said. angrily, do you claim to be cutter and not know where the deltoid muscle is located7 Don't. you know, sir, that knowledge of the hu- man antony is as important to the tailor as 1t is to the surgeon? Do you expect to cut garment to fit an object whose every line and curve you do not know? You might as well try to fit a plug to hole without knowing the size of the hole. No. sir. the gentleman will not state what and where the deltoid muscle is. It is your duty, sir. to know the deltoid muscle; not mine to in struct you
 The discussion ended there, simply because there was nobody present to carry it on, for don't believe a man in the place except the old fellow knew anything about deltoid muscles. l know didn't, but as soon as got to c dictionary looked it up Later gave the matter some study and found that the Scotchman was right"

CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS.
American Millionaire, Says She Is Not Rnpey.

A London paper reports an inter view with Miss Rockefeller, the, daughter of the American petroleum king.
 After putting several questions which the young woman readily an- swered, the enterprising interviewer ventured to say: And now, tel me, as you no doubt belong to the class! of the most envied of all women, whether l may presume that you are happy?"
 Miss Rockefeller is reported 10 have replied: Happy? Can one buy hap piness with money? Are there not many things to make us quite unhap- py which money cannot change, and then are not the spoiled ones more sensitive in the principles of life than the others? No; am not happy, and you may tell it to all and sundry who envy me"
 The interviewer was astonished, and said something about Miss Rocke- feller's being philosopher, to which she replied: Not a philosopher; only thinker. It Is poverty which perhaps taught others to think; I learned it through wealth."

LAST OF THE MoDocs.
That Formerly warIfke Tribe Has DwindIed to Pitifui Seventy
 Seven Members.

Another good Indian has been made by the death of Modoc brave. and now the bucks of the tribe have been re- duced to the fatal 13 in number Thus have dwindled the fighters of the most warlike tribe of men that ever ar rayed themselves against an enemy. They have been the Ishmaelites of the Pacific slope, and therefore they were called "Modccs" by the other tribes, for "modoc" means "enemy."
 The entire tribe has dwindled to 77 members, all wretched beings. with no thirst for war. but an ambitionless, in- dolent and dull set of beings that have cast aside every virtue that they ever | possessed and have taken on every vice that civilization has offered tliem. This remnant, mostly women and diseased children, that has dwindled from a fighting power worthy of United States opposition to the very verge of extinc- tion. is now quarteTed on a small res ervation in the Quapaw country south of Kansas City.
 These last of the Modocs are prison CTS of war, held by the government, but allowed great freedom, for they are moi likely to wander from the supple: they are provided with, for if they should they would starve to death.
 Only one among them shows any ot the spirit that once actuated the tribe He is Sam Boil, about 100 years cid. and he is willing to take the warpath again

SPARROW COMMITS SUICIDE.
Hts Own Death by Ex- haustl0n..

Two English sparrows were found dead side by side in field, near Smith Pond, Cherry Valley, Mass, by party of gunners. One of the birds had been dead for some time. but the otfisr ex- pired while the hunters were within eyesight, and the men say il was 3 ease of suicide, reports the New York Sun. The attention of the sDen vas first at tracted by the distressing cries of the second bird which was on the shore of the pond. The men drew nearer and watched. The sparrow was seen to put it's head under water and allow it to remain there for time. It repeated this ducking several times al short in tervals.
 The last time the sparrow's head re- mained under water longer than before and the men drew closer. only to find that the bird had hopped to the side of its mate and lay there expiring. The hunters said it was a clear case of sui eide. They are men of wide experience in field and forest. and in all;their trips they said they had never seen bird show such attachment as was disclosed by the sparrow which died of it's own desire.

"An Authority on Mining"

So many stories are now afioat in the country press, given out by so called experts who pretend to be authority on mining" but who, in fact, don't know an ore chute from a prairie dog hole, that it may not be out of place to reprint some. remarks of Mark Twain on the subject of rich gold deposits, which originally appeared forty-odd years ago in the California paper he was connected with:
 "I have just seen your dispatch from San Francisco in Saturday evenings Post" wrote Mark, "about gold in solution in Calistoga Springs, and about the proprietor having extracted 1,600 ounces of gold of the utmost fine- ness from two barrels of water during the past fortnight, by process known only to himself.
 "This will surprise many of your readers, but it does not surprise me, for once owned these springs myself. What does surprise me, however, is the falling off in richness of the water. In my time the yield was B dollar a dipperful. am not saying this to in- jure the property in case sale is con- templated. I am saying it in the in- terest of history. It may be that the hotel proprietor's process is an inferior one. Yes, that may be the fault.
