A Puzzled Celt.

A class in certain art school was
recently startled by the sudden ap-
pearance in it's midst of a ragged
Irishman, who, with tears in his
eyes, begged for enough money to-
get him "bite." The first impulse
of the presiding genius was to re-
quest him to move on; but his pie
turesqueness suggested that he
should be given chance to earn his
supper by sitting as model.
"Sit down." said the instructor,
kindly. "If you permit these ladies
to paint you, we will pay you shill-
ing. What do you say?"
"Av DILL let 'em wha-at?" replied
the beggar, with a puzzled look on
his face.
Paint you-paint you. 1t won't
take very long"
"Bedad, OF want tn shillin' bad

ment's reflection. "Ah' Oi'll be very

The Hunters Wooden Wife.

The bureau of American ethnology
has lust issued as part of its thirty
first annual report, a comprehensive
article on the mythology of the Tslm-
shian Indians. Considerable infor-
nation is recorded concerning these
Indians themselves, their life, social
organizations, alphabet, music, re-
ligious ideas and practices, and their
folklore, which is a part of the my
thology of America. In this connec-
ton the author, DR.. Franz Boas, hon
orary philologist of the bureau OF
American ethnology, shows the bear
ing of the Tsimshian mythology on
general mythical concepts and in re-
1ation to the manner of dissemina-
ton in northwestern America.
Among a number of these interest
ing myths recorded in the volume is
a peculiar tale concerning a young
Indian hunter, who had a wooden
wife.
II seems that once upon a time
certain Indian hunter, who was also
on expert wood worker, had a very
canable young wife, whom he loved
dearly. She was especially adept at
weaving the native dancing garments
and blankets, then much in vogue,
from yarn spun from the wool of
mountain sheep killed by her hus-
band. Shortly after their marriage,

Curious Meteor Trail.

A persistent meteor trail of last
July, reported by W. H. Stevenson,
to the British Astronomical associa-
ton. had curious spiral shape. I'm
mediately after the passage Of the
brilliant meteor, the trail was traced
with the finder of the observers tele-
scope, and was found to consist OF
regular undulations, about a degree
from crest to crest, and with ian am
pliture of a fourth of a degree.
Regular variations in brightness
made it evident that the trail had
the form Of a helix. In the three
minutes the trail was watched, there
was no perceptible drift or change
of shape, making it quite evident
that the form was not due to air cur
rents, and it is suggested that the
meteor may have had a helical mo-
tion.

while they were on hunting trip,
the wife was taken i'll in the midst
of her weaving, and soon died. Be-
fore she passed away, however, she
called her husband to her and said,
"My dear husband, keep your love for
me after 1 am dead. Don't go home
too soon."
The husband deeply grieved, fol-
lowed her dying wish. He even kept
the dead body until he was forced to
bury it, and then he carved an image
Of his wife out of red cedar, which he
set before the partly finished dancing
raiment, still hanging where it was
left by his late wife. So cunning was
this woodman-artisan, that he ar
ranged the wooden finger of his lay.
figure wife in the threads of the un-
finished garment, so that she ap-
peared to be busily engaged in its
construction. Not only that, he even
contrived a clever system of manipu-
lating the figure; when the door was
opened it's head turned toward him,
and he pretended that his wife-image
could speak.
Although this fact had been re-
ported in the village, the story never
occurred to two runaway Indian
maidens who chanced to arrive at the
hunters camp guarded solely by his
wooden wife. Peering through a
knot hole they beheld a woman ap-
parently weaving, and being very

hungry, opened the door to ask for
food. AS the door opened the head
of the figure before the weaving
frame turned to look at them, so they
asked for little food, but the figure
paid no attention to their inquiry.
Only the fingers, twisted in the yarn,
moved.
'"That is not a living being!" ex-
claimed the older sister. 81 will go
near and look" So she approached
the silent figure, saying, "Will you
give us little food, elder sister?" at
the same time touching it on the
shoulder, which proved to be wood.
The mystery was revealed to them
and they laughed-this was the
wooden figure of which they had
heard.
Soon they heard the hunter return
ing to camp, and hid themselves in a
corner behind some dried meat, to
await developments. He whistled as
he drew near, although his load was
very heavy and he was tired. Come
out, my DEAR" he called to his wood
en- wife, land look at this indicat-
ing his pack of meat and fat. Then
he replied to himself, initiating his
wife, "Not so. my dear, | cannot, be-
cause my yarn is twisted about my
fingers After saying this, the hun
ter ran in to his wife, embraced and
kissed her, telling her that she was
very handsome. Whereupon the two

woman was wise and kind, and prov
ed a better wife than the first, es-
pecially in weaving. Eventually,
growing very rich, the hunter return
ed to his native village, where ne
gave a great feast, built a large
house, and finally became head chief

this Indian tale, "is the end"

young women laughed at him in
secret, but he heard them and called
them out from their hiding place.
Strangely enough. he was not an
cry, but spread a grizzly bear skin
for them to sit on, and cooked them
many things to eat. The elder sister
ate a great deal of everything that
night, but the younger sister, being
afraid, ate very sparingly, Fortunate
ly for her, as the elder sister was dis
gustingly i'll in the morning and did
not get up. This amused the hunter,
and he made fun Of her, calling to
her to get up and partake of the
breakfast he had prepared. The
younger sister arose, but the elder
sister cried, she was so ashamed.
In the meantime, the hunter seems
to have fallen in love with the young
er sister, for now he asked her to
marry him. This she agreed to DO,
if he would promise to destroy his
wooden wife, and never to reveal the
fact that her sister was sick from
over eating. The hunter promised,
but extracted her assurance that she
would not tell what he had done with
the wooden figure.
'Then," continues the myth, pub
lished by the bureau of American
ethnology, "they were married." And,
in fact, it is readily assumed that
they lived happily ever after," for,
so the story reveals: The young
