ferent. The ''pipe" is the same as in
the English (for that matter. all toma-
hawks are, in this respect, alike), but
the blade was shaped exactly like an
ace of diamonds. forming sort OF
double triangle that caused the weap-
on to look like spear-head set in the
side, rather than in the end, of the
handle or shaft. This idea the French
took from the pike, weapon very
common and popular in the French
armies Of that period.
The tomahawk which the Spanish
traders sold to their Indian customers
and which was manufactured in the
steel foundries of Toledo, differed very
much from the others and is the rarest
of the three. The Spanish tomahawk
was an exact copy, only on smaller
scale, of the old halberds, which were
exceedingly popular during the cru
sades, and had reached high state of
perfection in Spain.
AS a general thing. says the Wash
ington Post, one would be most apt
to find the English type of tomahawk
among the 1roquois, Delawares, Shaw
nees, Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws and
other tribes that lived within the An.
glo-Saxon sphere of settlement; the
French style among the Ojibwas, Chip.
pewas, Ottawas. Sioux, Nez Perces
Flatheads and Crees, with whom they
dealt and came in contact before any
other whites. while the Spanish type
would be most apt to occur among the
Seminoles, kiowas, Zunis and Apaches

MAKERS OF TOMAHAWKS.
The Metal Indian weapons were
Made by the English, French
and Spanish.

BEFORE the discovery of America by
Columbus the Indians used as weapons
of war stone axes, or celts, such as
one finds occasionally in opening
mounds. blowing fields or digging
foundations. the general form of which
is familiar to most every one. With
the arrival of the whites the Indians
discarded these clumsy weapons OF
the stone age and began. using toma-
hawks of iron or steel, which they OBJ
tanned from the white traders, and
which. after the wants of the Indians
came to be better known, were manu-
featured for the American trade in
various parts of Europe. With the i'm
movement in firearms the Indians
came in time to have very little use
even for the tomahawk, so that none
were made after 1854.
Thus it happens that these metal
+omahawks are of more value ana
greater interest than the earlier stone
axes, or celts, by reason of the fact
that the latter are fairly common and
can be found in most any mound where
the JOUldud w AS VI Luz P~"A AAAN--N
facture are, to-day exceedingly rare
and also because there are three diff
fsrent varieties of the latter, showing
in their design and general workman
shin the trend of European art and
Woodworking skill.
The first is called the English toma-
hawk, for the reason that it was the
kind made by the English. and traded
by them to the tribes with whom they
came in contact in their settlement OF
the new world. The English-made tom
ahawk is patterned after the old Eng
fish ak. The fore part of the toma'
hawk runs in perfectly straight line
from the pipe or hammer down
to the edge of the blade. while the rear
mart of the blade curves upward anc
inward toward the handle. The French
style of tomahawk is altogether diff

FOOLED DIAMOND EXPERTS.
Smart Alecks Who Knew All About
Real Stones Easily Imposed
Upon.

II am convinced that few people
know anything about diamonds, no
matter how much they pose as ex-
perts," says young business man,
according to the Philadelphia Record.
"a recent experience of mine has
forced me to this conclusion. l
bought, as present for my wife, a
brooch containing a cluster of dia-
monds, and took occasion to show 1t
to several of my friends at the club.
They examined it very closely, looked
wise, and then started to show me
where my judgment had been at
fault. Every man seemed to be a
diamond expert.
cat any rate I determined to make
test. l went to one of those imita-
ton diamond stores, and for so cents
bought a brooch, which l placed in
the box that had formerly contained
the real one. Again l went to the
club, and announced to my critical
friends that I had taken their col
lective advice, and, by paying an ex-
ira $50 had exchanged the brooch in
! which they had picked so many flaws.
They all agreed that the 50-cent
bauble which I showed them was a
great improvement over the other
and when l told them of the trick
had played on them they wouldn't
believe me. To man they commended
that they couldn't be fooled on dia-
monds. Now I feel better satisfied
with nv purchase"

EXTORTION IN VENICE.
Unwary Foreigners Are Vlctimized
by interruptions Keepers OF
Public Houses.

"When we hear the stories OF the Of
ficers and men from the Chicago who
got into trouble in Venice" said
man who recently returned from Eu-
rope" reports New York exchange.
81 think the American public will find
that there is a great deal to be sald
on either side about the disturbance
on the Piazza de San Marco. l was in
Venice about six months ago and
heard a great deal about extortlon
practiced upon the unwary foreigners
in the cafes in that particular locality
and the tricks used in furtherance OF
that extortion.
in one of the San Marco cafes,
which l was particularly warned to
avoid, they have a neat method OF get
ting out of a foreign visitor more than
he expected to spend. One or two OF
the tables are so arranged that kick
deity administered in the proper place
to one Of the supports will cause the
whole table to collapse. Tables of the
same sort were used in this city not
so many years ago.
"When prosperous-looltlng tor
eigner who does not seem familiar with
che Italian language or the customs OF
Venice appears in this cafe, it is usual
" contrived to seat him at one of
these trick tables. At the proper mo-
ment waiter or somebody else in the
employ of the restaurant gets into u
dispute with the visitor and the for
eigner is made as angry as possible.
Then over goes the table and down 60
the glasses and crockery upon it.
Immediately bill for $25 or there
abouts for damages to the cafes
property is presented to the unwary
stranger. If he fails to settle prompt
ly the police are called in.

that way, and since the news of this

TRICK OF CLEVER BRIDE.
she Wears Old Clothes While Travel-
ing In Order to Deceive the
Frying Public.

No one would ever recognize the
bride of to-day by her travelling at
tire. The good old days when brides
made Pullman cars look like a pink
tea with their gray frocks and gloves
and their white hats have passed ana
a more prosaic period has come, says
the Baltimore News.
An acquaintance of the writer who
was welded in white satin the other
night folded her going-away gown OF
ecru cloth neatly and put it in her
trunk. Then she donned a walking
skirt of sober Oxford gray, white
linen shirt waist, a demure straw
hat trimmed with black, jacket that
matched the skirt, and away she
went. Not even her gloves and shoes
were new. Each had been worn often
enough to take the bandboxy look
from them.
And she is not the only one who,
to deceive the travelling public, thus
sacrifices vanity, for at least half
dozen of the spring brides have for
the same reason travelled in we'll
worn garb.
The newly-married one first allud-
ed to sends a wall back from the re.
sort where she is spending few
weeks.
''They knew me, anyway" she
writes to the chronicler. Despite
the fact that made the darned place
in my glove as conspicuous as posi-
BILE, and that James went at once
into the smoking room and I read
the paper, they spotted us imme-
diately as bride and groom. Why, ono
impudent man asked James at what
hour the ceremony was performed
while he was giving him light from
his cigar. think it was my better
half's aggressively new shoes that
gave us away. They were SO pain
fully shiny, and certainly nothing
about my attire was.''
Truth to tell, it's not the bride but
the groom in these days who acts a.
a telltale. The latter's baggage, an
well as his boots, is always fresh
from the shop, and his tickets are al
ways SO ready to hand and have SO
obviously been bought days before
hand that only the blind or the total
ly foolish could fail to suspect him OF
being unused to travelling in paira.
