of which the Hupas are the California
representatives, the Navahoes the New

Apaches the Arizona representatives.
With determined bravery, that was
as courageous as it was hopeless. the
Apaches have always steadily fought
against the intrusion of all outsiders,
whether Spanish, Mexican or Amer
lean. For centuries they more than
held their own. They fought with a
reckless daring, combined with cruel
ty and cunning, that made their name
synonymous with treachery. With
the primitive instincts of the wild ami
NAL they were so cruel to heir cap
tured foes as to horrify the world,
consequently there was great rejoic-

them to something like steady resi-

SHADOW EXPERT ENGRAVER.
Care which Is Taken When a New
Seal of the United States Ii to
BE Engraved.

Secret service operatives will short
w arrive at Philadelphia to shadow
Max Zeitler, an expert he1aldic en-
graver. Not that Mr.. Zeitler has done
wrong, but he is about to recut the
great seal of the United States, and
the government during this process
employs a greater force of inspectors
to keep an eye on the single workman
thar in the construction of a $4,000, 900
battleship.
The firm to which the contract for
the seal has been let was compelled to
name the engraver when it bid for
the work. This exaction is required
so that the necessary protection may
be afforded to the design which is ex-
pected from Washington in a few days
for the guidance of the engraver. The
new seal also will be carefully guarded,
The present seal has become so worn
by years of constant use that the new
one will be completed to replace it as
soon as possible.

There can be no question that at first
he found a shelter for himself and

discovered and used caves, hollow trees
and the like, to which he came back
after his daily excursions for food,

tie folks, and. perhaps, not least so
because the element of fire is involved
in its performance. Fasten five tooth
picks together as in the accompanying
diagram. 1t will be found that they
then form a framework which may be
handled without its falling apart. Care
should be taken in making this frame
work not to break the toothpicl1s, for
the success of the thing depends on it's
elasticity.
Then make the figure of little
man out of cork or any other light
material, and place him on one of the
corners of the framework. as, for IN
stance, about where the letter B is
shown on the accompanying diagram.
Place the framework, with the little
man in his proper place, on the rim
of an ordinary lumber and then set
fire to the toothpick end c and d.
When the fire has burned the tooth
picks at their point of intersection
there will, OF course, be nothing to
counteract the force exerted by the
rest OF the framework and the whole
affair will shoot up into the air, the
