AN INDIAN WAIF, FOUND AFTER SLAUGHTER AT WOUNDED KNEE. y.litlM Was Adopted by Ida «4»lby and Taken to Washington t'ldll«*d Her roundtnge Iio Not derm to Ikrfc Iter Wild Instinct!. HE recently threat ened Indian upris ing In the went ha* directed attention to a little Indian girl, now a realdent of Waahlngton. She la the adopted daughter of General la-imard W. Colby and wife, who re side at No. 1325 Tenth street, N. W. The child's name la Zlntka l.anunl. Her legal name >> adoption le Zlntka Colby. She le now nearly 7 years old, a typical Indian in facial appearance, physique ani’ ' tlona. Thue far It. ha* been lmpossl lile to curb the wild blood that flows through her veins, and, although attf rounded by all the advantage* of a modern American home, goe* to school, Sunday school, ha* been taught to pray and haa aa companions refined children of the neighborhood. Zlntka Is what her foater mother frequently • alia a bad girl. She I* wild and at limes ungovernable, stubborn Hnd possessed of Ihe well known revenge ful spirit of the Indian. She will re sent the real or fancied offense of a playmate, no matter how long It take*, and la equally a* eager to apprcctato any kindness done her. Zlntka la of m roaming disposition. She runs awuy from home every day. her favorite amusement being to ride on the belt line street, cars around past the Capitol and circuiting the city. All the conductors on the line know m-s ■ her, and ahe rldea free. Fieyuently she la out until long after dark, hut al ways flnda hor way home. No amount of correction or admonition haa yet had any effect on her uncontrollable spirit to roam. Zlntka wue found on the battlefield of Wounded Knee creak, on the afternoon of Jan. 1, JMt. She waa then three tnontha old. The tnaa sacre of Big Foot’a band having oc curred on the morning of Dec. 29, It waa over three daya that ahe lav on the battlefield In the arms of her dead mother. The latter had been ahot nnd killed In the fuallade of the United Stater troop*. The day after the bat tle there waa an attack on the agency, which kept the relief party from going over the field, and the day following there waa a fearful blizzard. In which they could not venture out. When the baby waa found ahe waa only alightly frozen on the head and feet, having been protected by warm clothing, by the body of her mother wrapped in a heavy Navajo blanket and by a cover ing of drifted anow. General Colby learned to love the Infant, and, having no children of hla own, conaulted hia wife, and they determined to adopt her. Tl»* Teleserlptor. Among recent interesting Inventions for the transmission of Intelligence at a distance is the "teleserlptor,” which might, perhaps, be described as a "writing telephone,” It consists of a machine resembling a typewriter which, instead of printing its letters and words on the spot, sends them tele graphically to slmilur instruments in j distant places connected with It by wire. The receiving Instruments are arranged to work In perfect accord with the sender, and they print the dispatch on paper. In order to send a dispatch. It Is ftrst necessary to In form the receiver by signal, where Upon. the receiving Instrument being throwu Iti connection, no further st unt Ion need he paid to It. as the die patch will be received and printed au tomatically, and can afterward be read at leisure. A Hons* Made Sasperislsa llrlSs* Necessity Is said to be the mother of Invention, and certainly one resident of Kansas has proven this beyond cues «lwn. tits bouse was on one side of the river and the school-house was on the other.

New York Tribune. Threwleg Hire and slippers. In the ladles' Home Journal Kd ward W. Bok notea the abuse of the pretty custom of easting a small par cel of rice or a dainty allpper after a departing bride and groom an un spoken Oodapeed. “The dainty slip per,” he also aaya, “haa been trans formed Into the old *hoe of doubtful origin, and thrown with force and ac curacy, causing no end*of discomfort. And this la what two pretty customs have degenerated Into They have been vulgarised, and, therefore, the sooner they pass Into disuse the better. The sentiment of the custom has been lost. Rice and shoes are no longer omens of good luck. The modern thrower oi them has transformed them Into mis siles with which to annoy and mortify the bride and groom. The better class ! of people have already begun to sub 1 stltute a shower of rose petals, and | this new and far more beautiful Idea Is rapidly being followed. We might have preserved the old customs, but we have not. Henceforth, promiscuous rlee-throwlng and the casting of old shoes at weddings will be left to the boors of our modern society. Into whose hands these acts have fallen, and who seem happiest when they can convert the graceful customs of olden times in to practical jokes.” IIIJ rmm» with noth Vtontlls. From the Washington Post: General Robertson tells a story of the late Gen eral Benjamin F. Butler which is new to me, and as the old hero himself told It to General Robertson it may be new to you as well. It happened one time when General Butler was In Portland. A great reception had been arranged In his honor, and the largest hall In town was engaged to hold It In. The place was lavishly decorated, and one white muslin banner especially at tracted the general'a attention. On It was painted In large black letters: "General Benjamin F. Butler, tho hero of Five Forks.” And* beneath the big letters some body had written: “And goodness only knows how many spoons." Mi lner to KuuIb. Mr. Hitchcock la a great grandson of the fame-* Col.

I* Mi«* Who Follow* Ihe Will I** III* Of lelfft. Kdwuril W. Hok, writing on the theme "On Being Old-Kaahloned” In the laid lex' Home Journal, contends that much of the xo-ralled progrea* of to-day lx not progressive; In fact, (hat "old-faxbloned" women who follow well-beaten patha, adhere to old dia tom*. and accept well-eatabllahed leaching*, are the really progreaaive one*, for the reason that their effort* meet with no Interruption*, nor la there IHiaalblllty of collapse In whatever en gages their attention. "In domestic life the 'progressive' woman has had a very buay time,” says Mr, Bok. "Hhe began by upsetting Ihe old acwlng haaket. It waa narrowing to a woman, ahe discovered one dark morning. Likewise waa cooking and Ihe care of children. A woman who atayed at home and looked after Ihe comfort of her huahand and children wh* 'wishy washy': ahe cramped her life, dwarfed her Intellect, narrowed her horizon. Clubs by the acore, societies by the hundred, achemea and plana by the thousand were started, organized and devlaed to rid poor woman' of her 'thraldom.' And theae 'progreaaive' women were ao buay for the elevation of their box! Hut there were a few hundred thoiiaand women who kept right on being buay elevating their children, helping their husband*, and believing thut the xex In general waa perfectly able to lake care of Itaelf.

He waa one of the happy kind who are properly objects of envy to the dyspeptic wbita man. Scott was always a cheerful creature to look at. but nobody thought of hint is at all an uncommon specimen of his race. Perhaps he Isn't. He was walking along Commerce street. In Montgomery, one afternoon, when suddenly there was an uproar, and Scott saw the cause of It rushing to ward him. A runaway team was com ing at a breakneck speed, and right In I he track of the maddened horses were two pretty little children crossing the street Hiott Is said to have reached the middle of the street In one Jump. There wasn't time to make two. The leaping horses seemed to be absolute ly upon the children who stood per fectly still, rigged. Scott gave one of them a push that sent hei out of reach of danger, hilt there was not time tr» repent the act. Ho, swiftly dutebliiK the other child to hla broad breast, h«* fell forward, bending over her, shield ing her with his body.

In 1784 diamond* were found In Hra7.ll and for 120 years dia monds were brought from that source. After various attempts to work these diamond mines by Individuals, about a century ago the firm of Hope ft Co. of Amsterdam undertook the work and for the privilege assumed the govern ment debt of Dracll. Amaterdam tbuw continued to hold her position aa the renter of the diamond rutting Indus try,. employing, directly or Indirectly, from 20,000 to 40,000 people. Of late Antwerp, I'aris und Ixmdon have been overtaking Amsterdam In this Indus try, Antwerp cutting one-quarter of the world's yield today. Within the last thirty years the product of 'he Uraill mines has declined to the ex tent of 1150,000 annually.
