HE recently threat

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

patch will be received and printed au
tomatically, and can afterward be read
at leisure.

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.”

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

THE PROGRESSIVE WOMAN.
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.
And theae women are *1111 buay aew
Ing, cooking and caring for their chil
dren. AUiJ, gradually, they have aeen
aewlng classes Introduced In College
and aemlnary courae, domeatle science
branches attached to nearly every edu
cational Institution which girls attend,
while the care of children haa received
the Indoraement of alate and Ihe spe
cific attention of the national govern
ment. And what of Ihe ‘progreaaive'
woman? Truly, the places that knew
her on :c know her no more!”

From the Arch Ison Globe: There
have been many shocking stories In
I he papers of late descriptive of atroci
ties perpetrated upon negroes accused
of crime In the South. It Is, therefore,
especially pleasant to recall a rsteut
Incident that Inis the effect of vivid
contrast. Scott Hrown was a big.
awkward negro, who lived In Mont
gomery. Ala. 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 a fraction of
a second the horses were upon him.
over him, with a crash and a pounding
of hoofs. The spectators saw him half

WHERE DIAMONDS COME FROM
Urarll and Mouth Africa Cornish Iho
Hulk of iho Product.
For centuries the only source of
diamonds was India, the chief of which
was the region of (lolconda. The
phrase "diamonds of Oolcunda" refer*
not to the mines hut to the town
where they were taken tor sale. It
Is now little more than an abandoned
fori, (he Indian mines being largely
worked out. 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. The Intro
