TEPEE ETIQUETTE
Never Pass Between an Indian and the
Fire The Seat of Honor
If you should ever go into an Indian
tepee said John H Seger remember
they have rules of etiquette that are
more rigidly adhered to than in our
parlors
Do not think they are not sensitive
for they are more so than the Japs
If you make fun of his layout the
whole family will remember the insult
for a lifetime
The seat of honor is just opposite
the door across the fire pit Wait
until you are invited before you take
that seat I
If you go bolting into an Indians
tepee and rush over and take this va
cant seat he may not take you by the
nape of the neck and throw you out
but he would like to if he thought it
could be done without cutting off his
rations
In leaving the tepee never pass be
tween any one and tho fire An old
chivalric warrior will crawl around
the side of the tent and kick a hole
in the wall on the north side in a bliz
zard before he would violate this rule
of etiquette and pass between his
guests and the smoking embers

Soldiers and Schiller
The Germans are notoriously a well
educated people but the popular Eng
lish belief that every German knows
everything would appear to be exag
gerated if we may judge from a Ger

of the German reviews of an examina
tion in general knowledge to which he
submitted his company Who was
Schiller was one of the principal
questions Ten soldiers replied that
though they fancied they had heard
the name it suggested nothing to them

THE TROUT IN HIS LAIR
He Is an Alert and Elusive Unpic
tured Beauty
Whoever has had the privilege ol
lying at full length on some mossy
overhanging bank while watching a
large trout in his lair perceives that a
true figure has yet to be drawn of
him Even photography can give nc
hint of the wavy circles from the
spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely
athwart the broad back of the perpet
ual fanning of the pectoral fins of the
capacious gills opening and closing the
half open round mouth the luminous
brown eye the ceaseless slow vibra
tion of the powerful tall nor can pen
adequately describe the startling sud
denness of the dart at some idle fly
touching the surface the quick return
to the old position and the resumption
of the poise with head elevated at a
slight angle pectorals all tremulous
and floating watery circles emanating
from every slight motion of the body
It is also worth while to watch a trout
rush four feet up a perpendicular fall
of water pause tremble violently all
over and in a moment throw himself
clear of the stream and fall into the
basin above at an elevation of about
three feet more Arthur P Silver in

Bird or Bee
Two quaint observations about hum
ming birds are published in Early
Long Island by Martha Flint both
quoted from letters of the seven ieenth
century written from the new coun
try of America Says one
The Humbird is one of the wonders
of the country being no bigger than a
Hornet yet having all the Demensions
of a Bird as bill wings with quills
spider like legges small claws For
Colour she is as glorious as the Rainc
bow
Adrian an der Donck one of the
Hollanders of Nieuw Xederlandt in
1042 writes of a
Curious small bird concerning
which there are disputations whether
it is a bird or a bee It seeks its nour
ishment from flowers like tho bee and
was the inventor of printing a sec- is everywhere seen regaling itself on
ond described him as a man who
knew everything a third put him
down as a man of science a fourth
as a poet who wrote Scripture his
tory a fifth as a musician of great
celebrity and a sixth as a manu
facturer of bells One wonders Avhat
Thomas Atkins would answer if in
vited to state what he knew of Shakes

humming noise like the bee It is only

Value of a Constitution
It happened in the spring of 1SG0
when Garibaldi was pursuing his expe
dition in Sicily and when the words
Constitution and Liberty were on ev
ery Neapolitans lips Why are you so
anxious for a constitution asked a
foreign tourist of his guide and donkey
driver while they were traveling
through the mountains of Sorrento
Well you see your excellency was
the answer because I think we shall
be all the better for it It is now closo
upon twenty years that I am letting
out my asses to visitors from all coun
triesEnglish French Americans All
of these have a constitution and they
are all rich
