A West Indian Wife Catcher.


 AS is customary with Indians the world over, the Carlos are expert basket weavers, and many strong and handsome baskets are to be bought in Roseau at reasonable prices if one finds the right shops. writes Harriet Quimby in Leslies Weekly. A pecul- far instrument, made of basket straw and woven closely together so as to form hollow tube ending in d thong of twisted ends and commonly dubbed wife catcher is also made and sold by the Carlos. By slipping the hollow end over mans finger above the joint and pulling on the twisted end the catcher will tighten around the finger and the captive will be unable to release hfs hand. It is claimed that the Indians formerly employed this device as q handcuff for prisoners, using several for each hand and lead ing the captives by the fingers. Few tourists are permitted to leave Roseau without wife catcher, for which six pence is willingly exchanged

A Girls Preparedness.

There is something very pitiful about girl. She wears calico, but talks knowingly about the latest styles in silks. Her home is furnished plainly, but she knows the latest styles in furniture; she knows how the silver ware should be arranged at dinners. the latest stitch for the marking of monOgrams on the finest table dam- ask, the etiquette to be observed at a dinner. a reception or a ball. although she never attended anything more than neighborhood party in her life. Her fathers monthly income is not as large as the pin money a rich girl would spend in day, but she knows what the rich girl should wear and buy to be in touch with the times. She is. in short. prepared at any time to marry a rich man and become a so- ciety leader.-Atchison Globe.

Burke as a Bore.

The most eloquent essay carefully prepared beforehand when delivered by one wanting the orators gifts may as a speech be an utter failure. Burke is perhaps the most striking example of this. He simply drove everybody away. This is we'll and amusingly de- scribed by Lord Erskine to the Amer ican ambassador, Mir Rush. who had asked him about Burke's delivery.
 Tt was execrable," said he. Il was in the house of commons when he made his great speech on American conciliation, the greatest he ever made. He drove everybody away. l wanted to go out with the rest. but was near him and afraid to get up. So I squeezed myself down and crawled un- der the benches like a dog until got to the door without his seeing me, re- joicing ill my escape. Next day went to the Isle of Wight. When the speech followed me there, read it over and over again. 1 could hardly think of anything else. carried it with me and thumbed it until it got like wad- ding for my gun. = Westminster Ga Zette

An ObIising President.

During short lived revolution, says Harper's Weekly. there came to be the head of the government in little Central American republic a man who was above all things courteous and who was, moreover. very anxious tc gain the good will of the foreign con- suls. One of the latter. having heard that certain countryman of his had died, addressed note to the head of the new government. in which he stat ed that his own government would be grateful for certificate of death of the individual in question. A few days later the consul received this communication:

Euphonious Female Names.

Referring to a recent note on eupho- nious female names, it may be said that the eccentric Christian name at- tains it's ripest vigor in the highlands. There the natives have few names natural to the sex, such as "BarDac' though Barbac msy be the name of the family cow-'the dear one, the dun one" The great majority of fe- male names are, however, frankly compounded from male equivalents. "Wilhelmina" is known in the south. and on the tame principle Andrew finds it's female counterpart in "An- drewina." while "Malcolminas" and "Donaldinas' are as thick as blackber- ries. One unhappy child among the relations of the present writer was mercifully known as Ava and Ava she will be all her life. Her real name, when msgnificently set forth. is Alex andrina Victoria Andrewina." and the abbreviation is formed from the initial letters. = London Standard.

process of reconstruction by which
every mention of God and religion has
been carefully erased. Managers of

Sin Of Erettina.

There is one sin which, it seems to
me, is everywhere and by everybody
underestimate, and quite too much
overlooked in valuation of characted.
1t is the sin of fretting 1t is common
as air, as speech-so common that, I'M
less it rises above it's usual monotone,
we do not even observe it. Watch aay
ordinary coming together of peoIIs,
and see How many minutes it will be
before somebody frets; thai is, makes
more or less complaining statements of
something or other, which probably
every one in the room, or in the car, or
on the street corner, it may be, knew
before, and probably nobody can help.
Why say anything about it? 1t is
cold, 1t is hot, it is dry, somebody has
broken an appointment, ill-cooked d
meal; stupidity or bad faith some
where has resulted in discomfort. There
are plenty of things to fret about, all
right!

The UNDERGROUND Ocean.

Recent Investigations by officers OF
the geological survey have brought to
light facts about the enormous guam
tity Of underground water contained in
the crust of the globe which are calcu-
lated to astoRish the lay mind.
Below a depth of six miles 1t is be-
lieved that no water can exist in the
racks, because the tremendous pressure
probably closes all pores; but above
that level the quantity of underground
water is estimated to be equal to one
third of all the water contained in the
oceans. If poured over the land sur
face Of the globe, the underground wa
ter would, it is averred, be sufficient to
cover it to a uniform depth of from
three thousand to three thousand five
hundred feet.
