INDIAN SiGN LANGUAGE.
Metlnbare of Every. Different Tribe Can
Read These Signals.
4 white man who visits a foreign na.
tion finds it hard and sometimes im-
possible to make his most ordinary
wants known. The red :man has no
such difficulty.. The problem of a uni.
versa{ Language was solved centuries
ago by the savtige inhabitants of this
Western "world.
Should an Indian from northern Alas-
ka go to Patagonia he could by means
of this universal language converse
with his southern brethren almost as
easily as he could with his neighbors
at home. That would also be the case
if he visited Central America or met
the tribesmen of our own western prai-
ries and mountains.
When this language was invented no
one knows, but every Indian learns it
in addition to his own. Recently two
chiefs of different tribes met in the
Geographical society rooms in Wash-
ington and held a conversation that
lasted nearly three hours, and yet nei-
ther one knew a word of the other's
language.
This universal language is, of course,
made up of signs. For example, if an
Indian is passing through a strange
country and sees other Indians at a
distance he makes the "peace sign"—
that is, he holds up bis blanket by two
corners so that it covers his whole fig-
ure. The same thought is expressed
by extending the hands, palms out-
ward, slightly inclined from the face.
Any Indian would understand either
one of these signs.
Then there are the abstract signs by
which these "savages" can express
their thoughts with regard to the
Great Spirit, heaven, good, evil, life
'and death, sickness, health, riches and
poverty: Life is expressed by drawing
an imaginary thread from the month
and death by clopping this thread od.
Another sign for death is to hold the
tips of tbe dunes§ of one hand, against
the palm of the other and let them
gradually stip downward and at last
drop beneath tbe palm.
Most white people think that the In-
dian word of greeting, "How." IS mere-
ly thr abbreviation of the question,
"How ars your But that is not so.
The ward is realty "aou," which means
"brother" or "friend." So when he
comes up and growls out his seemingly
inquisitive "How" he is not asking
after your health. but telling you that
he is a friend—Youth's Companion.

Jutland and the Sea.
Jutland is one of the few countries
where political change has been, avoid-
ed. Denmark . has looked after the
lutes for over ;4040. 7' '•witiwut
cbanenge. But the Sea 'hag refused to
let Jutland alone. Like Holland, it
needs the protection of dikes. and but
for these there would bo considerably
less Jutland. Even on the east coast.
with its higher elevation, the sea runs
into many inlets. One of the longest
of these, the I+vmfiord, was in 1825
broken into from the west by the wa-
ters of the North sea. and the north
corner of Jutland has ever since re-
mained an island.—London Chronicle.
Had His Title All Ready.
Disraeli's first novel affords a curl-
oas instance of intelligent anticipation
Among the host of characters in "Viv-
ian Grey," most of them slightly veiled
portraits of celebrities of the day,
Lord Beaconsfield is one of the most
important in the secondary rank. The
novel was written in 1826, exactly fifty
years before the writer assumed the
title he bad invented. It is 'usual for
novelists to portray themselves in their
first book, but no other instance can be
found of an author christening a char-
acter with a name subsequently to be-
come his own. -London Spectator.
Sheepskin.
Sheepskin was used as parchment be-
fore the invention of paper. Even then
it was a substitute for vellum, which is
made from calfskin and of a far finer
quality than parchment, and was em-
ployed for fine illuminated work. Tan-
ned sheepskins are in the trade called
basila. For these there are many legit.
iinate uses, but it is for imitation pur-
poses that the sheep`;i;in is most large-
ly used,.
Already Knew Some of it.
"Johnny," said the small boy's moth-
er, "I want you to stay home all after-
noon and learn the Declaration of In-
dependence by heart."
"I'll have to if you insist. But the
idea doesn't line up with my ideas of
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
uess."—Washington Star.
