LIFE AMONG THE BLACKFEET
Tells of Customs Before the Days of Civilization in
 the Far West.

In recently published book en- titled "My Life as an Indian," J. w. Schultze tells of marriages among the Blackfeet of Montana before the days of civilization in the far west. His first adventure among these Indians was to help Wolverine, a young Blackfoot, steal . wife. They got away with the girl at night and then her lover picked up a bundle of gifts for her which he had hidden on the way. Schultze says: "It was good to see the girls delight when she opened it and saw what it contained. That very day while we rested she made herself a dress from the red cloth and I can truthfully say that when she had arrayed herself in it and put on her beads and rings and ear rings and a lot of other things she certainly looked fine. She was a very comedy young woman, anyway, and, as I afterward learned, as good as she was handsome"
 Schultze became Blackfoot warrior and after he had killed an Indian foe he was urged to take wife. The idea appealed to him and he began to look about him. He chose "a girl of perhaps 16 or IF years, not what one might call beau- tiful, still she was good-looking, fairly tall and we'll formed, and she had fine, large, candid, expressive eyes, perfect white, even teeth and heavy braided hair, which hung al- most to the ground. All in all, there was omething very attractive about her."
 He found that the girls family was satisfied with the match. His Indian wife kept his tent clean, but he could not talk with her, and she remained mystery until one day he was going away on dangerous business, when she burst into tears. Then he knew that she was fond of him.

THE EFFECT OF FEAR.

Great fear suspends the action of the salivary glands, and this fact is utilized for the detection of crim- inals by the officers of the law in India. When a man is suspected of having committed a crime, he is obliged to chew dry rice in the presence of the court. So intense is the influence of fear on the glands of the mouth and throat that if the person is guilty there is no flow of saliva, and mastication is impossible. Such culprits usual ly confess. On the other hand, if the person is innocent, there is no fear, and the salivary glands secrete enough saliva to soften the rice.

CARD AND PENCIL GOLFERS.

There are people who play golf. There are others who carry clubs and follow the game more or less &C., cording to the rules, but who de- cidedly are not golfers. They play a game of their own. Their stock in trade consists of clubs, balls, a knowledge of arithmetic, a pencil, and wretched little bit of card. They worship and bow down before e false god, called ''score play" and their reverence for this particular idol becomes a positive manila Golfng.

WHAT SHE WOULD SAY.
Young Teacher Evidently Had Her
 Opinion of the Principal.

A certain young teacher in one of the schools in Springfield, Mass, was recently more or less annoyed by the attentions of one of the masculine sex who holds position of principal in the same school. There was in this young woman's room pupil who was very dull and stupid.
 One day the gallant principal was asked by the admired one to give his permission to have the child removed to some other room, thinking possibly he might be benefited by the change. The suggestion did not meet with the principals immediate favor, and he remonstrated.
 Suppose" said he, you and were married and we had a child that na- ture was not overland to, and we sent him to school. Suppose the teacher refused to have him in her room, say ing he was too stupid and dull to learn, what would you say?"
 T should say he took after his father was the quick retort.

Overtaken by Retribution.

William H. Berry, state treasurer of Pennsylvania, was talking in Har- risburg about graft.
 "Grafters seem to thrive at first" he said, "but retribution overtakes them in the end. It is like the two newsboys and the bad half-dollar.
 Two newsboys had bad half-dol- lar and after discussing for some time the best way to get rid of it they de- cided to try to pass it off on theater.
 "So they took their places on a cold night in the long line before the gal lery door of a popular theater and the first one held the bad coin in his hand. It was their idea that in the hurry and confusion the ticket seller wouldn't t take time to examine the money hand ed to him.
 And they were right. When the first boy reached the box office the man accepted the half-dollar without question and in return handed out a ticket and quarter change.
 "The second boy, grinning with joy, then handed forth a dollar for his own ticket. He got the bad half-dol- lar and a good quarter in change"

GOLD NUGGET A BEAUTY.
Alaskan Mine Has Probably the
 Largest Ever Found.

It is not an uncommon thing to see men who have enough greenbacks to choke an elephant, but it's not often that one meets man with gold mug get large enough to make even horse sick Ii he had to try to eat it without having it run through quartz mill. There is a man in Los Angeles, Cal, however, who has the nugget, and he is the Klondike king, Clarence Berry, who has come from Alaska on a visit to his brother. The nugget might be likened to mans hand with the palm turned upward, for it Is over six inches long, almost four inches wide, is an inch thick at the thickest part, and weighs" $1,510
 There are few men who can dig such chunks of gold out of their own mines, but Clarence Berry is one of these lucky miners. He is one of the pioneers of the gold mines of Alaska, and having been one of the first men to get to the various rich diggings, his energy and persever- ance have been rewarded with a large amount of gold. How much no one knows but he, and he won't tell.

She had just turned from the black board where for five minutes she had been demonstrating "sum" which to her very youthful pupils seemed diff fcult.
 Now, children, are you perfectly sure that you understand?"
 There was a murmur of assent
 Do any of you wish to ask a ques- tion?"
 In the back of the room a small hand was raised aloft. The teacher, looking into the earnestly eager face, felt that glow of satisfaction which we all experience in assisting a budding intellect.
 What is it, Annie? What do you wish to know?"
 Miss M, are your teeth false?" demanded the earnest little seeker in a shrill treble.
