ORIGIN OF NOBLE RED MEN.

Monumental Work on the First
American Soon to Come Out.
After a period of investigation and
study covering twenty-five years tie
government is about to issue a monu-
mental work on the subject of the
American Indian. 1t will be a hand
book of history and information about
the various tribes. Where did the
Indian come from?" That's q ques-
ton to which careful and patient study
has been devoted and which, by the
way. the bureau frankly says it will
not try to answer in the forthcoming
book One of its ethnologists has pro-
pounded the interesting idea-call it a
theory-that 1.-THE Indian didn't come,
but just started right here in Ameri-
ca" Ethnologists maintain that men
have inhabited the world for at least
100000 years, and they base their ar
gument on the discovery of human re-
mains said to be of that age and may
be much older
The red man and his origin are a
subject which has interested the sci
entists of all nations since the time Of
Columbus and is one on which few
authorities agree. By some it is held
that the Indian originally emigrated
to this continent from Asia, either by
way of Alaska, or across a chain Of
islands which in prehistoric days are
said to have stretched across the Pa
citic Ocean. Others of equal eminence
have discovered this theory, claiming
that the Indian was indigenous 10
American soil, just as the negro was
native 70 Africa and the Mongol ma
tive to Asia.
Tie work in question goes into far
reaching detail in all such matters, in
Guiding the Indian tongue and the diff
ferent languages of many tribes and
strangc peoples, comparing them with
Japanese and Polynesian tongues. It's
appearance is awaited with deep inter-
est by all who desire plausible theories
and accurate information concerning
1.-THE noble red man. and his much dis
cussed origin.

crossing London bridge one day he was
suddenly brushed aside by wretched

foot passengers crowded around i'm
mediately to watch the unfortunate
man as he rose to the surface. and in
a trice some one shouted, "I'll bet be

Two to one he'll swim ashore" was
the answer. The rest Of the pedes-

Meantime yieuxtemps rushed down
to the river hank, secured a waterman
and rowed out te the rescue. Just as
the boatman was about to reach forth
to grasp the ppfr fellow. who by this
time was fiournering about in the wa

the spectators above cried out: Leave
him alone There's bet on it,"

boat, and the unfortunate wretch sank

aorHAM's HOTEL POPULATION.

Six Times That of Paris and Some

The home spirit in New York has al,
ready been so shattered by the gran
diose hotel that Al per cent of the So
called "fashionables" now reside in
these bewildering caravansaries in pref
erence to dwelling beneath their own
vine and fig tree, says Success. The
latest edition of the Social Register
shows that 5000 families in New York
with wealth and aristocratie pride have
given up their private homes to live in
hotels. An expert who has studied
the hotel business in every principal
country of two hemispheres says that
New York cares for three times as
many persons as does London, six times
as many as Goes Paris and ten times as
many as does any other city that can
be named. There are 1876 large first
class hotels in Manhattan alone, more
than 800 including the smaller ones

Graded wherever it may have been,
the hostelry art has surely found It's

one needs no further figures than those
just given to furnish explanation OF
the amazing evolution of the hotel In
New York City. With a floating popu-
lation each day ranging from 10000
to $4,000, according to the railroad
passenger accountants, for the various
seasons of the year, there is little won

city of earth most conspicuous for its
hotels.
The word palace" has been applied
to hotels since the memory of man run

Meal Ground in Old Way.
The best corn meal in the world Is
made in nnessee-though the output

More than one of the ideal mills may
be found on Fighting creek, In Sewer
county, under the shadows of the Big
Smoky and near unto Sugarland region,
where the untaxed juice Of the corn
flows from modest and retiring stills.
There are many such mills in the
Unaka region and in various sections
of middle Tennessee, where the with

Before being made into bread the
meal is sifted through a wire sieve or

At one time, when De Quincy was
living at Lasswade in simple and

respected him not as a writer, but as
a good neighbor, he formed very de-
lightful friendship with a little child.
boy of four years. This lad, a
nephew of one of the housemaids, was
the constant companion of the great
man and would forsake any amusement
for the pleasure of walking round a
dull little garden with him. One day
somebody heard this conversation be-
tween the two comrades:
what dye call thon tree?" asked
the child.
De Quincy considered and then said,
with careful elaboration, Il am not
sure, my dear, but l think it may be
laurustinus."
The child interrupted him with some
scorn: "A laurustinus! Lad, dye no
ken a rhododendron?
At that time the lad" must have
been about seventy years old.
