SETS' A WORTHY EXAMPLE.
Where the Bed Men Exhibit* the Noblest
Teelte of Hie Character.
“The kindness and patience of the
Sioux Indians in their domestic rela
tions are very noticeable, ’’ said Q. L.
Sommer# of Minneapolis. “I spent
several years in charge of a trading
post on one of their reservations and
had ample opportunity to study their
habits and customs. The women
have certain duties to perform, as
among other races, but the men do
not disdain to help them on occasion,
any more than does a white man of
good disposition. During the whole
time that I was among them I never
saw a single family quarrel, .and the
children were rarely punished. I re
member one incident which illus
trated this characteristic which
amused me not a little. One day the
wife of one of the chiefs came to me
and asked to borrow . a look
ing-glass. I gave it to her and then
watched to see what she would
da About a mile away 300 or 300
mounted Indians were congregated,
watching a horse race. The squaw
took the mirror, stood in front of the
tent, and reflected a beam of sunlight
irom tne glass along the ground in
line with the group of Indians. In a
moment or two a solitary horseman
left the band and came galloping over
the prairie toward his tent It was
the husband of the squaw and she had
brought him to her side by means of
this peculiar signal. The chief spoke
a few words to his wife and then ap
proached to where I was standing
with a broad grin on his face. I asked
him what brought him home so soon
and he replied that his wife, knowing
that he had quite a little money with
him, had called him home for fear
that he might bo tempted to gamble
It away. Instead of speaking Grossly
to her for interfering with him, he
chuckled over her prudence, although
he said he might have won a lot of
money if he had remained.”
A JUVENILE GRANDMOTHER.
__
Ellen Terry’* Light- Hearted FrlaklneM
at Her Work.
Some of those who have seen Miss
Ellen Terry on the stage have met
her in private life. She is the same
gracious, kind-hearted, vivacious lady,
with a touch of exuberant youthful
ness, which will not, I imagine, de
sert her when she is old and gray,
says an English writer. With the ex
ception of the princess of Wales, Ellen
Terry is the most juvenile grand
mother ever beheld. Subject to at
tacks of neuralgia, she defies them,
as all else, with her gaiety, her in
vincible spirit.
At rehearsal she is all buoyancy.
Even to-day she cannot help playing
tricks and diverting the attention of
her brother and sister actors with her
fuD and pranks. Mr. Terriss, as well
as Mr. Irving, can give evidence of
tnis, and are often sorely tried to
keep their countenance. For the rest,
Miss Terry is generosity its very self,
and has the large, sympathetic nature
which her personality and style of
acting suggest.
Emperor William's Piety.
Emperor William the First, at the
elose of the French war, dictated to
bis private secretary an address which
he intended to deliver to the German
army. The final sentence ran thus;
“But do not forget that we all must
be grateful toward Providence: for
Providence has willed that we should
he the instrument destined to accom
plish what are such great events in
the history of the world.” The secre
tary having his own ideas, as even
secretaries of emperors and kings can
not help having, wrote “Providence
has permitted.” “Stop,” said the aged
emperor; “do you imagine that I could
have supported the burden of this war
if I had not entertained the firm con
viction that Providence willed it?
Write the word as I dictated it."
The Golden Kisses.
Edward IV., to raise money for a
war with France, sat himself sundry
hours every day to receive contribu
tions from his subjects, who sub
scribed pretty liberally in conse
quence of their animosity to the
enemy. Among others, a rich yet
niggardly old widow, brought $100,
a large sum in those days, to him.
This so highly pleased the king, “that
he not only returned her thanks,” but
told her: “For her kindness that she
should kiss a king,” which being
done, the woman pulled out another
bag saying: “Udsbodikins, if kings
sell their kisses so cheap, give me
’tother touch of the lips, and here is
another 8100 for you!” The king
smiled at this, took her at her word,
and thought his kisses well sold.
A New Sleep Theory.
A foreign scientist, whom the ac
count says is “a man of international
reputation,” offers a brand new the
ory of the cause of sleep, lie believes
the fatigue of the nervous system
which leads to this condition of the
body to be due to an increase of the
water-holding power of the nerve
cells. This being the case, the greater
the ability of the cells to hold water,
the less the nervous irritability of the
individual. He further says that the
sleeping individual is easily awakened
as soon as the major portion of the
water has been eliminated by the
“sleep process.”
How to Control a Sneeze.
Sneezing may be averted by pressing
firmly upon the upper lip with the
fingers. The “why” of this is that
by so doing we deaden the impression
made on a certain branch of the “fifth
nerve,” sneezing being a reflex action
excited by some slight impression
made upon that nerve. Proof of 4 his
is seen in the fact that sneezing never
takes place when the nerve mentioned
is paralyzed, even though the sense
of smell be fully retained. &
A Washington young man was so
much given to exaggerated expression
that his friends found it necessary to
remonstrate.
"Think before you speak," said one
of them. "That’s the only way to do
It.” And several friends who were
near endorsed the advice.
"Bat thut takes time,” he pleaded.
"I never misrepresent anything that
is yoally important, you know. All l
do is to nllow the exuberanco of my
fancy to gush forth."
"It doesn’t make any difference.
Ton avo making a mistake. You are
getting a reputation which is hurtful
to you socially and in a business way.”
"What'll I do?”
“Neve’1 say nnything you arc not
absolute: ’ sure of.”
"Well, I’ll try It.”
It was some days after when they
met. on the street. Both were in a
streaming perspiration, and the friend
of the imaginative man remarked:
"Hot, isn’t it?”
The only reply was a look of earnest
reflection.
“I say it’s mighty hob"
The young man reached around into
his coat-tail pocket, drew out a ther
mometer and, after gravely inspect
ing it, said:
“Ninety degrees in the shade. Yes,
I think I am justified in replying to
you, as I have to several other people
to-day, that the heat is very intense,
although nothing extraordinary for
this time of the year.
Shaps of a Cat’s Era
In a communication to tho London
Zoological society, Mr. Lindsay John
son describes the reoults of his exam
ination of the eyes of 180 domostin
cats, as well as those of all the acces
sible wild members of the cat family.
Ho concludes that the natural shape
of the cat’s pupil is circular, though
under various degrees of light it as
sumes every shape froih the cirolo
through all kinds of ovals to a straight
vertical line. Tho younger the cat
the greater tho tendency to become
a pointed oval in ordinary light. In
the smaller felidte, brilliant sunlight
causes contraction to a line; in the
larger, sometimes to a small circle.
When a cat is suddenly alarmed the
pupil momentarily dilates, in sleep it
always contracts.
In Command for (he First Time.
A man-of-war was lying off Gibral
tar, and permission was given to the
men to go ashore for the day. The
sailors amused themselves in various
ways, among others by riding about
on donkeys; and their want of experi
ence in this line caused much merri
ment. An officer observing one of the
men sitting very far back on the ani
mal, instead of the usual position,
called out, “I say. Jack, get up more
emidships!” With an injured air he
replied: “Well, sir, this is the first
craft that ever 1 commanded in my
life, and its hard indeed if I can’t ride
in the quarter deck if I like.”
i he Life-Saver.
On the road between Yarmouth and
Gorleston, England, is a small obelisk
or monument, with a device of a ship
in a storm, a rocket with a rope at
tached jest passing over it, and bear
ing the following inscription; “In
commemoration of the 12tii of Febru
ary, 1803, on which day, directly east
ward of this spot, the first life was
saved from shipwreck by means of a
rope attached to a shot, propellod by
tho force of gunpowder, over the
stranded vessel. A method now uni
versally adopted, and to which at
least 1,000 sailors of different nations
owe their preservation.”
The l-'lrst Do* T» c.
The inventor of the dog tax in Eng
land was Mr. Dent of a Westmoreland
family, and a partner in Child's bank.
After Pitt had imposed the tax, Dent
was universally known by the name
of “Dog Dent.” He frequently re
ceived large hampers freely garnished
with hares’ legs, pheasants' tails,
grouse and partridge wings, etc., but
invariably filled with dead dogs.
Tired, Weak, Nervous
Could Not Sleep.
Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston,
Idaho, says: “I was all run down,
weak, nervous and irritable through
overwork. I suffered from brain fa*
tigue, mental depression, etc. I be
came so weak and nervous that I
could not sleep, I would arise tired,
discouraged and blue. I began taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and now everything is changed. I
sleep soundly, I feel bright, active
and ambitious. I can do more in one
day now than I used to do in a week.
For this great good I give Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine the sole credit.
It Cures.”
Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold on a positive
guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.
All druggists sell it at $1.6 bottles for to, or
It will l>e sent, prepaid, on receipt of price

TENDERER THE COLD SHAKE.
Hot the Father-In-Law Refuted to Take
It From Ilia Non-In-Law.
"I expect,” begun the queer-looking
little old man, as ho entered policu
headquarters, "I expoct my darter
Mary is in this town.”
“Do you moan she ran away from
homo?” asked the sergeant at the
leslc.
“Yes. Ran right away from Isabella
sounty. Probably married by this
time. ”
"Do you think she married some one
here?”
“I'm purty sure of it. She was in
love with a feller here.”
“If she is married you couldn’t take
her home with you.”
“I don’t want to.”
* 'Rut you want to find her and have
s talk?”
"Wall, there needn’t bo much talk
shout it. I want to find if she’s mar
ried. If she is she’ll be keepin’ house.
You pint out the house and I’ll knock
on the door. When she opens it I’ll
?ay: ‘Howdy do, Mary—I’ve cum
down to live with yon.’ ”
"Rut wliat is your object?” per
sisted the sergeant.
“Object? Why, I’m goin’ to make
my son-in-law support me, of course!
I didn’t cum down to take Mary back,
but to live with her—to take per
oeshun of the spar’ room, the head of
the table and the best in the house.
Can’t nobody gin me the cold shake—
not if ole Isabella county knows her
gaitj Feller as gits Mary gits her ole
dad, and now put your bloodhounds on
tho scent and find out whar’ they hev
snugged themselves away, thinkin’
that tho ole man didn't know that
this country was passin’ threw the
thoes of a financial hard-upness.
Where no Space Is Wasted.
In many tropical countries the roof
of tho house is a very important part
of the building, being put to a variety
of uses not dreamt of in colder lands.
In the one-storied houses of Peru, for
instance, it is not uncommon to find
the mules and horses lodged on the
first floor, and the family on tho floor
above, while on tho great flat roof
there may often be seen fowls, pigs,
goats and even cows. The cows are
taken aloft when they are merely
calves, and spend the rest of their
lives on the roof.
A Costly Amusement.
The man in Skowhegan, Maine, who
has been amusing himself by poison
ing his neighbors’ dogs, is now amus
ing his neighbors by settling tho bills,
$25 to $50 for each dead dog. That's
as remunerative to the owner as get
ting the dog’s life insured.
