small plateau, a party of redskins spran
at them, firing their rifles and yelling.
"The men scattered like sheep," say
Captain Sibley, "and I confess that for th
rnoment my heart was in my mouth. M

to are even if they did not aim at the en
emy, for a rifle made a noise like a canno
amid those hills. Finally the men got t
gether, and we retreated up a slope to a b
of wooded ground which protected us fro
the Indians' fire. This was about 9 o'cloc
in the morning. The Indians began t
gather about us rapidly. The situation w
growitig more serious every minute. M
men were doinggood work with theirrifies
"It pleased me to see one man shoot a
noted Sioux chief right through the 'heart.
That old sinner never twitched a tnuscle
after the lead. hit him. We neverkneev how
niany we killed, because whe,n an Indian is
shot his comrades keep him out of sight.
Well, we held them oil' for four hoars,-and
they were four hours of redhot work, I can
tell you. My scout then told me that the
Indians were on three sides of us. We had
one chance left to retreat, and this chance
was fast lessening, because fresh Indians
were coming.
"I did not like to abandon our horses,
, but it was that or die. So the retreat was
ordered. inspected each man personally
to see that his equipment was all right,
but owing to my inexperience and the ex-
eitement of the moment I forgot the ra-
tions. Only one man in the conamand took
his rations. It was an hour or so before
the Indians discovered that we had fled.
By that time we were up in the mountains
in places so steep that one man had to help
the other up. Horses could not follow us.
So for the time being the Sioux would
not strike us. Grouard took a mountain
trail, which we followed on foot for 50
hours without a mouthful to eat.
"Such fearfully vigorous exercise without
food nearly killed us. Toward the end of
this perilous march we all became so
weakened that we marched for 10 minutes
and then would Ile clown and rest. Several
of the nmat robust men became insane, and
one or two never regained their wits.
When we reached Crook's camp, 1 slept for
24 hours without waking, and during that
time the camp was sharply attacked by the
Indians. Even the roar of the musketry
did not disturb my sleep in the least. Not
a single man was lost on this trip."
Remarking on the peculiarities of plains
life, Captain Sibley said that it seemed
wonderful to him what remarkable in,-
stincts a hall breed scout possessed. A
scout had lett him across a trackless waste
on a dark night when the snow was falling
and the wind blowing. There was not a
landmark to guide the scoot, The horses
were continually drifting to windward, as
It were, in the effore to get their faces away
from the cutting blast. Yet in the face of
all these difficulties the scout would lead
the troopers litter Marching all night to
the exact spot for which they started, and
he never failed.
A surprising peen Rarity . of Indians is
their carelessness about pasting sentinels
rot,. when *they go into carnp, eyen when they
'mow that an epemy is near. Captain Sib-
ley hs seen a large ['idiom village corn -

It is all very well to speak of such good

of additional income, but no extent of good
management will reduce the cost of any

cause eggs were scarce, but because kings
were.

The Vamp meter.
The vibrometer, which is claimed to make
the deaf hear, is in shape and size very
much like an ordinary banjo, with circular
eceauding board and extended string board.
A small electric motor transmits by suit-
able mechanism a series of rapid taps or
vibrations to the sounding board, and these
are conveyed to the ear by tubes, the.satne
as in the phonograph. The attachment by
which the vibration is produced can be ad-
justed to different leverages, so as to vary
its intensity, and can be regulated at from
1 to 25 vibratory movements per second, a
speed vvhich is only used in very bad oases.
A special treatment is involved in the
use of the strings of the instrument, which
are vibrated by the revolution of a wheel
studded with metallic picks. In applying
these musical vibrations to the ear of the
patient the tone selected must correspond
in pitch to that caused by the diseased con-
ditions of the ear, In other words, there is
always a special note, the vibrations of
which are raore beneficial than others to
the abnormal ear, and a primary consid-
eration is to determine this note. It is a
question of responsive vibration, illustra-
tions of which all instrumentalists are fa-
miliar with. If there is no tinuitus or ring-
ing noise to guide the practitioner, he finds
whether the patient can hear a high or low
sound, and a high rate of vibration is used
in treatment and vice versa.
The class of patients who are immediately
benefited by the vibratory treatment are
those in whom the mucous membrane lining
the tympanic cavity and eustachian tubes
ie in a hypertrophic or morbidly enlarged
condition.—New York Telegram.
The First Wedding Ring.
The wedding ring, according to Henry
Swinburne of the seventeenth century, was
first designed by Prometheus and fashioned
out of adamant and iron by Tubal Cain.
He says that it was "given by Adam to his
son to this end, that therewith he should
espouse a wife." Men were, as all women
know, deceivers ever, and some of these un-
scrupulous creatures were wont to wed
with rings made of rushes, imagining them
to be less binding than a strong and valu-
able ring. The bishop of Salisbury, how-
ever, stepped in and forbade this practicein
1217.
Silver was more frequently used than
gold for wedding rings, and they were
made in all kinds of shapes, some twisted,
like two joined hands, or a pair of hearts
stuck through with an arrow. Often they
were adorned with precious stones and
had "posies"—that is, scraps of verse—in-
side, such as:
Fortune doth send you, hap it well or 111,
Tins plain gold ring to wed you to your will.
In these days a gold ring is considered so
essential to the validity of a marriage that
a tradesman in a market town some years
ago materially added to his income by let-
ting out rings to the poor people for their
wedding day.—New York Sun.
Microscopic Penns anship.
The subject of microscopic workmanship
readily divides itself into two classes—pen-
manship andrnechanical construction. His-
tory has handed down to us many exam-
ples of this form of caligraphic mania, of
which the chief symptom is a desire to
compress the greatest number of words
into the smallest possible space.
Pliny the Younger declares that Clicero
onee saw the Iliad written so small that it
could be inclosed in a walnut shell. This
affirmation was regarded as improbable
until the seventeenth century, when Huet,
bishop of Avranches, France, an excellent
Greek scholar, proved that it could be ac-
complished.
The Gospel of St. John and the Acts of
the Apostles were writtett within the cir-
cumference ot a farthing in the sixth cen-
tury by an Italian niauk.—Boston Com-
monwealth.
Early mentioa of Niagara Falls.
The first historical notices of Niagara
faIla are given in Leecarbot's record of the
second voyage of Jacques Cartier, in the
year 1535. On the maps published to illus-
trate Mani plain's discoveries (date of maps
either 1613 or 1614) the falls are indicated
by a ems% but no description of the won-
dadal cataract is given, and the best geo-
graphical authorities living today doubt if
the explorer mentioned ever saw the nine,
Brinson' s work to the contrary notwith-
standing. Father Hennepin is believed to
have written the first description of the
falls that was ever penned by one who had
personally visited the spot. The editor
owns a map dated 1651 which does not tig-
er° either the great lakes or the falls—Sb.

STEALING THAT 3 NPT A (AIME,
Passengers ItIrlio Aesort to All Sort* ot
'Vrtoits to ilthie Free,
"It has to. be a very pious roan who won't
steal a ride whetahe gets the chance," af-
ft the conductor On thesubueban train
to a reporter, who asked whether be ever
had any diffieulty in collecting fares frota
elle passenger%
It is both amusing and interesting to
watch the delight most people take in get-
ting a free ride, The conductor passes
tnrough the car saying, "Tickets, please,"
and turning from side to side, trying to
pick out all the new passengers aboard. The
majority of cceurse have their tickets ready
and hold theta: out so that he cann ot possibly
fail tO see them, but there are a great num-
ber of people also, who front the time they
enter a car begin reading the newspapers,
and the conelactor might znildly sayauTick-
ets, please," till the dawn of doomsday be-
fore he succeeded ie attracting the atten-
tion of these earnest readers.
If he issue he hasn't panelled the tioket,
he stops fairly M. front of the passenger,
holds out his hand in a positive fashionand
sharply says, "Ticket!" Then the negligent
passenger will unbutton bis coat and from
a fiat pocketbook stored away in his vest
will slowly produce ticket. A conductor
hns to be positive in his demeanor, too, for
let a Unita, "not sure" glance betray to the,
wily passenger that he is not going to have
his ticket demanded of him, and he will at
once put on a bold front and unconcernedly
watch the man next to him handing over
his fare to the puzzled conductor without
once changing color.
"The women? Well, they may wear their
little silver crosses; they may even be go-
ing to church on Sunday with their Bibjes
with 'em," said another conductor, "but
they will sneak a ride every time." And it
seems to be true. The reporter watched,
and pretty soon a rather pretty woman
boarded the train at Thirty-ninth street.
From her watch chain hung the King's
'Daughters' badge—e little silver cross. She
sat clown, and soon the conductor came
along. He was not a hardened veteran,
and he seemed half afraid of making a mis-
take, so he said in an undecided tone,
"Tickets!" Bnt, oh, that questioning tone
and doubtful glance! He passed the little
lady by, and she let him do it, just as if she
hadn't been a Daughter of 'the King. At
the next station he again came into the car
with the same expression and the same
question. He noticed her this time—just
stopped and looked at her as he took up a
ticket from a man who sat next to her, and
she—well, she kept on reading. Now, is
it possible that. she didn't congratulate her-
self upon being one ride ahead? Of course
she did, and she'd make that one ticket of
hers last forever if the conductors would
only let her.
Another passenger, well dressed and
gentlemanly, allowed the conductor to go
by without giving up his ticket, and when
the official passed through the car again he
looked hard at the man and said, "Ticket!"
But the interrogation in his voice settled
it. The man stared over the top of his paper
quite unconcerned. The conductor didn't
insist, and when he turned his back M.
Gentleman smiled audibly, and those who
sat near him decided at once that he was a
most dishonest person, "thoughthey'd all
been there before many a time. many a
time"—.Chicago Journal.
Byron and His 'Young Physician.
It is of Byron's Ponder' that one has
heard in that model biography—the biog-
raphy in which the sedulous Moore sidled
and ambled in accompaniment to his noble
friend's dramatic work. It is too clear that
Byron took little trouble to disguise the
fact that he found Polidori intolerable. The
young physician "had become jealous of
the growing intimacy of his noble patron
with Shelley," and a plan for leaning him
out of an excursion on the lake of Geneva,
in which Shelley, Miss Goodwin and Miss
Clairmont were taking part, "completed
this mortification." In the soreness of his
feelings he indulged in some intemperate
remonstrances, which Lord Byron indig-
nantly resented, and the usual bounds ol
courtesy being passed on both sides the
dismissal of Polidori appeared even to him-
self inevitable. The young Italian rushed
to his room, where he was interrupted
while attempting "that fatal act which
two or three years afterward he actually did
perpetrate."
Byron, to his credit, followed up the doc-
tor with areconciliation. Byron permitted
himself to boast to his follower, who in
childish irritation asked him, "What, after
all, can you do that I cannot?" "Since
you force me to say," wa.s-thesolemn reply,
'I can swim across that river. I can snuff
out that candle with a pistol shot at 20
paces, and I have written a poem of which
14,000 copies sold in one clay.' All through,
the unequal association was an incident to
the one man, life and death to the other.—

Religious Training of Japanese.
Little or no importance is attached to the
religious training of Japanese children.
Whether the parents be Buddhists or Shin-
toists it matters not, for in either cese the
children rarely take any part ie the reli-
gious late of their parents or elders, and in-
deed usually grow up in blissful ignorance
as to what it is all about. True, they may
be occasionally taken to the temple and
taught to rub their palms together, clap
thrice and incline their heads toward the
shrine as they toss their offering of rin
through the wooden grating of the huge
money till. They may have some vague
notion' that there is something meritorious
in all this, but nothing mete, although ev-

Speech and the Power of Work.
Any one who olneirves the movements of
his tongue in speaking will find that there
occur no cases in which the adjustments
must have an exactness corresponding to
the extreme power of discrimination which
the tip possesses, For speech this endow-
ment is useless. Even were it useful it
could not be shown that it has been devel-
oped by survival of the fittest, for though
perfect articulation is useful yet imperfect
articulation has rarely such an effect as to
impede a raan in the maintenance of his
life. If he is a good workman, a Gertnan's
interchanges of b's and p's do not disad,
vantage him.
A Frenchman who in place of the sound
th always makes the sound of z succeeds
as a teacher of music and dancing no less
than if he achieved the English pronuncia-
tion. Nay, even such an imperfection of
speech as that which arises from cleft pal-
ate does not prevent a mao from getting
on if he is capable. True, it may go against
him as a candidate for parliament or as an
"orator" of the unemployed. But in the
struggle for life he is not hindered by the
effect to the extent of being less able than
others to maintain himself and his off-
spring.—Herbert Spencer in Contemporary
Review.

FOR. BARGAINS OR FOR CHARI:re.-
How Wily Secondhand Dealers Appeal to
Both These Human Motives.
The observant pedestrian along -any popu-
Ions east or west side street knows what it
is to see piled up in apparent confusion
the household effects of some distressed
tenant, dispossessed for nonpayment of
rent—furniture, bedding, kitclaen utensils,
cheap pictures, crockery, a clock, and a
birdcage. Where a landlord secures sum-
mary possession through the act of a mar-
shal of dwelling apartments the personal
property of the tenant is put upon the side-
walk as the most convenient, accessible and
public place. Casually the tenant has
somewhere else to go. Seldom do his effects
remain long in the street, for there are al-
ways, especially in the poorer parts of the
town, helping hands to give hina or her a
friendly lift or a new start.
Then a trackman comes to take away
the articles left upon the sidewalk, and
the neighbors hear of the matter no
more. This benevolent strain of human
nature in New York has, however, inspired
the cupidity of some secondhand dealers,
who now make it regnlar business of dump-
ing their unsalable stock in a public place,
pretending that the articles thus displayed
belong to some needy dispossessed tenant.
The sympathetic wife or daughter of the
secondhand dealer stands in the vicinity of
the articles, and when the charitably dis-
posed stranger makes his appearance this
is about what he hears:
"PoOr soul! A widow with seven chil-
dren, her husband dead in the hospital aft-
er being out of work for three months—
where wonld she get the money to pay the
landlord and save her furniture from the
street? Well do I remember her paying
$20 for that bedstead there when she moved
into the top floor beyond—a bedstead which
she would be glad enough to take KO for
now to buy her children something to eat.
And those chairs there, which cost $1 each,
she'd be only too wilting to sell for a quar-
ter apiece; and that line old fashioned clock
lying there—it's a splendid tiznekeeper,
and any dealer would pay $5 for it gladly—
and the poor woman is willing to take $2
for it if she could only find a kind hearted
purchaser to buy it, while she is oat lookbag
for help from those who were glad enough
DO borrow money from her husband when
he was working!"
Such a tale of commingled human sor-
row and business opportunity told, for the
first time, to a sympathetic stranger is not
usually without its effect. "My good
woman," says the male passeeby, "here is
a couple of dollars for the widow--mygood
wishes go with her." The female passerby,
too, is touched by the recital, and the
chance of often getting a bargain loosens
the clutch which she has on the money
which she holds ili her hand. Sbe buys
such of the articles as her means affard or
vthich seem cheapeet and next seeks the
good offices of some neighboring truck -
man or expressman to transport the arti-
cles to her home. Then the secondhand
dealer replaces the articles sold by other
articles of a similar kind from Ids ahop,
and his wife waits the areival of another
favorably disposed pp rchaser.
This dodge has been worked quite gener-
ally ancl quite effectively of late in various
parts of town, and it is 017;1.151i to be no-
Cieecl that a seceed.hend furniture Store is
at no great distance from the point where
