THE PIMA INDIANS.

The Pima Indians, who live on the
banks of the ella river pronounced
in Spanish Heela), are the most civ
ilized of any North American Indians.
They live in houses, manufacture
useful articles and are kpown for sin
plicity Of character, peadefulness and
honesty. But they have had their
wars. A battle took place near the
broad TRAIL" which is now, some
times called the Temple road. Ursuth
was war chief then, and he led his
people against band of Apache In
dians. The Pimas were far outnum-
bered by Apache warriors, and vet
many We're killed on both sides, but
although Ursuth received three
wounds. he was able to keep the
Apaches back till tho Pima women
and children had escaped and reach
ed place of safety.
The Pimas are proud of the fact
that they have never killed white
man. They hate the Apaches and
make war against them, but have al
ways been the white mans friend.-

Oriqin of the Jury.

The seed Of our present form Of
trial by jury may be found in law
of Ethelred H., binding the sheriff
and twelve prominent thames to
swear that they would neither ac-
quit any criminal nor convict any
innocent person. In 1176 the jury
system was very imperfect, the
jurors being essentially witnesses,
distinguishable from the other wit
nesses only by the oath they were
Obliged to take. Under Edward [.
witnesses acquainted with the facts
in question were added to the jury,
and finally these became simply witt
nesses, without judicial power, while
the first ceased to be witnesses and
became only judges of the testimony
given. Centuries were to pass, how
ever, before the complete separation
Of the functions of juryman and
witness was effected.-New York

The Cannon Ball Tree.

Among the plants Of Guinea one
of the most curious is the cannon
ball tree. It grows to the height
of sixty feet, and its flowers are re-
markable not only for their beauty,
but also for their fragrance. Its
blossoms are of a beautiful crimson,
appearing in large punches and ex-
haling a rich perfume. The fruit
resembles enormous cannon balls /;
hence the name. However, some
say it has been so called because OF
the noise which the balls make in
bursting. From the shells domestic
utensils are made, and from the
contents are obtained several kinds
Of acids, sugar and gum as well as
the materials for making an excel
lent drink in sickness. I.sssI

Various Ways of Telling the Story Of

CHINESE LANGUAGE.
Difference Between the Written Char
acters q I'd cANench

acters and Speech.
The dialects or languages of the Chi
nese empire are very numerous and
dissimilar. Thus d Chinese speaking
the dialect of the kWangtung (Canton)
province is not understood by a Chi
nese residing in the neighboring prov
ince of Fukien. The language or dia-
lect spoken at Shanghai would be quite
strange to the people residing at Pekin.
Written characters of Chinese are,
however. understood and recognized
by sight throughout the whole empire
in the same manner as our Arabic nu-
meralS |. >, 3. 4, etc, are recognized
by the eve throughout Europe But as
these numerals when pronounced or
read have entirely different sounds at
tached to them in England. France.
Germany. Italy. etc. so the Chinese
written characters are spoken in to-
tally e. .prent words and sounds In
the several provinces of China, with,
however. the important exception that
the mandarin language is spoken or
understood more or less throughout
three-fOurths of China or, roughly
speaking. in nearly all the provinces
north and west of the river YangtZe.
The language known as Wen-li is the
medium by which the classical books
of China have been handed down. 1t
is par excellence the written language
of China, but it is not generally under

The spoken language-viZ. Mandarin
may also be written, and there is
good deal of colloquial literature in
Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the
local patois have also been produced in
several districts of the southeast.
where the dialects are very numerous
+. and diverse.
In the Chinese written language
there are over 10000 distinct charac-
tiers or symbols, and this vast number
is being constantly increased by the
addition of new characters to repre-
sent new scientific words and modern
IDEAS
Although the Chinese are considered
literary people and have naturally a
desire for education, yet owing to the
extreme difficulty of mastering the
Chinese characters it is estimated that
only one in ten of the population can
read or write.-COntemporary Review.
