GROOVES IN AN INDIAN ARROW

In making the Indian arrow, three small undulating grooves are cut on the shaft, running down to the head from the lower end of the feathers. This has attracted the attention of some Of the ethnologists, who gave the matter considerable study and wisely concluded that the litle finest were made for the blood to run through, or that they represented lightning. An old Omaha, who had the reputation of being very skillful in cutting he grooves in arrow shafts, was called by the chief to do that work for him on some arrows he was making. The chief himself was a fine arrow-maker. but he recognized the skill of the old
 man. in tais particular line. While the work was in progress, the chiefs son, who had reached the inquisitive age, and was looking on with wide eyed interest, suddenly asked: Ven efable man, why are you making those croked lines?" The chief gave a. hearty laugh and said; Father, tell him, for he will be making arrows himself some day, and he should know" Every sapling.'' answered the old man, ''out of which the arrow is made has some defect. however faultless it pzay appear to be. Thlz god arroW-maker takes a great deal Iof pains to smooth out and straighten the imperfectiens by oiling and heat ing But the wood in time. will spring back because of its inherent defects, unless these grooves are cut in the shaft soon after seasoning and straightening. .''-Southern Workman.

NOT .4LL GOLD.

Much has been said and sung about the shining success of Glasgow in the municipal ownership of public utilities, and the United States cities have been cordially invited to follow Glasgows example. But it now appears that Glasgow's municipal gas plant, one of the oldest of city ownership ventures, has been losing money. For the last year there was deficit of $6O,275 on operating account, and this sum is said to be less than the city's real loss, the allowance for depreciation of plant be- ing admittedly too small. Another mat ter to be taken into consideration is the loss of taxes which would increase the city's income by about $5OO0O year ly if the plant were owned by private individuals. Critics of the municipal ownership plan say that this sum comes out of the pockets of the general taxpayers and they object to the sys- tenn as unfair.
 This is '' sad ending of brilliant future" as brilliant young reporter once wrote.

4 PRONOUNCED TENDENCY

There has lately been noticed in some quarters a disposition to extend the Federal power. Since Congress opened some interesting and important bills in that line have been introduced. For instance, by MT. Morrell, a bill to place insurance companies under the supervision and control of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor; by MT, Murdock, bill to create railroad capitalization commission; by MT. Nor rell, bill regulating the operation of automobiles and other motor vehicles between the states; by MT. Morrell, 8 bill to extend the sovereign visitorial power of the United States over cer-

4 SIGN OR TWO.

This is the best and richest country on the face of the globe, but there are a few flies in the ointment. We read yesterday morning that some low-down professional burglars robbed bank in Sufield, in this State, and then in the afternoon We read that three big banks in Chicago had busted because high toned f1nancier had succeeded in "bOr- rowing" too much money from one of them. It was further solemnly said that some time ago the comptroller of the currency called the attention of the officers of the bank to the fact that they were making loans to the enter prises of MT. Walsh which, in his opin- ion, were too large for the safety of the institution. Repeated promises were made that the situation should be rec +tified, but no action satisfactory to the comptroller was taken. Four days ago he went to Chicago for the purpose of making an investigation into the af- fairs of the three banks, and found them in such condition that he judg- ed immediate action to be necessary.
 Big Chicago financiers came immedi- ately ito the rescue" and the talk now is that a panic has been averted, and that everything is as right as it can be. Very likely, but the times have been pretty rich lately.

SOME QUEER HUMAN NATURE.

,, It is pretty well known that human nature is queer stuff, and that it will do queer things for money. But the performance of man in England is a the Taff Vale railroad for compensa- ton for injuries has revealed a state of things. The plaintiff claimed that the jolt of a train threw him against a door, which opened and allowed him to fall across the track. The train passed over both his legs, which had to be am- putated. The company produced evil dence which left no trace of doubt that the plaintiff had not travelled by the train, but had deliberately placed his legs on the tracks and allowed the train to run over them for the sake of get ting compensation from the company and &500 from the proprietors of a periodical which offers that sum to it's readers if any of them loses both legs above the ankles in a railroad accident while in possession of the paper. When the plaintiff was found he was perfect ly conscious. He produced three pocket handkerchiefs, tied them together and showed the man who found him how to make 8 tourniquet. The man himself properly adjusted the bandage. The fact that there was not the slightest mark on either his body or his clothes, although he weighs 21O pounds and the train from which he claims to have fallen was travelling at the rate of thir- ty miles an hour, aroused suspicious and inquiries followed. A mass of evil dence was produced showing that the man ran the risk of losing his life and the certainty of great suffering simply for the sake of the money he might get
 in the way of compensation.
 Some people hate to work or try to get work, but most people will find it hard to understand how this man made his calculations.

The historic city wall at Manila, which has been used for storage pur- poses by the army, is marked for aban- donment. At one time it was proposed to demolish the wall, but antiquarians in this codntry raised such a rumpus that 1t was allowed to remain. It is found, however, that the wall is inse- cure, besides being damp in the case mates, and peril to life and destruction of property result from the attempt to store powder and. other artillery ma- terial in the place. Officers on duty at Manila say that the next earthquake must cause extraordinary destruction to material kept in such a place. It will be necessary, therefore, to build a powder magazine and storage sheds. It jS doubtful if the War department will consent to spending any of it's con- struction fund in restoring the city wall merely for the sake of preserving a useless relic.
