WHY INDIANS PAINT. r? A Lesrend of the Red Men Explains the Strnnsre Cnstom. Once an old Apaclie Indian when asked the question why his people painted their faces told this little legend: "Long ago when men were weak and animals wei e big and strong a chief of the red men who lived in these mountains went Out to get a deer, for his people were hungry. "After walking all day he saw a deer and shot at it, but the arrow was turned aside and wounded a mountain " * _i? -.A? lion, wmcfl was aiso anei. mc uca. When the lion felt the sting of the arrow, he jumped up and bounded after the man, who ran for his life. "He was almost exhausted, and when he felt his Strength giving wayhe fell to the ground, calling on the big bear, who, you know, is the grandfather of men, to save him. "The big bear heard the call and saw that to save the man he had to act quickly, so he scratched his foot and sprinkled his blood over the man. "Xow, you must know that no animal will eat of the bear or taste of his blood. So when the lion reached the man he smelled the blood and turned away, but as he did so his foot scraped the face of the man, leaving the marks of his claws on the blood smeared face. "When the man found that he was uninjured, he was so thankful that he - *- " a left the oiooa 10 ary on ms i*ice uuu never washed it at all, but left it until It peeled off. "Where the claws of the lion scraped L . it off there were marks that turned 'brown in the sun, and where the blood stayed on it was lighter. Now all men paint their faces that way with, blood and scrape it off in streaks when they hunt or go to war." THE CARIBS OF DOMINICA. Fierce Savagre* Who Have Dropped Their Man Eating Ways. A recent colonial report on the Caribs of Dominica is interesting. Very mysterious is the origin of the fierce savages, now almost extinct, who were in possession of the smaller West Indian islands when the first white man burst "into that silent sea." They showed a distinct Mongolian character, and it would be hard to distinguish a Carib infant from a Chinese child. Some twenty years ago a Chinaman who had drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs to be his own people and married a TknT?o hrod Ponih Trnmnn The resultant child showed no deviation from the native type. Today they have dropped their man eating ways, but in the sixteenth century they scoured the Spanish main in search of human food, and from Porto Rico alone are said to have taken more than 5,000 men to be eaten. Though I Spaniards, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, negroes, or Arrowaks, were all meat to them, yet these Caribs seem to have shown preference for certain nationalities. Davis, for instance,-in his "History of the Oaribby Islands," tells us that "the Caribbeans have tested of all the nations that frequented them and affirm that the French are the most delicate and the Spaniards are hardest of digestion." Laborde also, in one of his jaunts in St. Vincent, appears to have overtaken on the road a communicative Carib who was beguiling the tedium of his journey by gnawing at the remains of a boiled human foot. This gentleman only ate Arrowaks. "Christians," he said, "give me the bellyache." ? Q,ueer Qualification. Tbe enthusiasm of the thoroughgoing lover of Browning takes some surprising turns. The author of "In a Tuscan Garden" tells a story concerning Dr. Furnival, one of the founders of the Browning society. A young relative of the Englishwoman in London was looking out at one time for bachelor chambers in a block of flats. The secretary of the company to whom they belonged intimated that the testimony of two householders as to his rent paying capacity would be required. The applicant gave the Englishwoman's name as one and Dr. Furnival for the other. Dr. Furnival'8 reply, after a glowing panegyric on the merits of the applicant, wound up by congratulating the cooipany on getting as a tenant a man who "was not only a gentleman and a good fellow, but a member of the Browning society."

Some Interesting: Ones Date ns Far Sack as the Fourth Century. Among the Greeks and Romans almanacs or calendars were not written for the general public, but were preserved as part of the esoteric learning of the priests, whom the people had to consult not only for the dates of the festivals, but for the proper times when various legal proceedings might be instituted. About 300 B. C., however, one Encius Flavius, secretary Appius Claudius, stole these secrets by repeated applications to the priests and collated the information so gained. It was really publishing an almanac when, as Livy relates, Flavius exhibited the tasti on white tables around the forum. From this time similar tablets containing the calendar, the festivals, astronomical phenomena and sometimes allusions to historical events became quite common. They have been dug up in Pompeii and elsewhere. There are also extent Christian calendars dating as far back as the fourth century, which give the names of the saints and other religious information. One of the most famous of the calendars of the middle ases is that com piled by Petrus of Dacia in A. D. 1300. A manuscript copy is preserved in the Savilian library at Oxford. The Symbolical Man or Man of Signs (Homo Signorum), still a common feature in almanacs, appears in this book, not, it is conjectured, for the first time, as it seems to have been a survival from the time of Ptolemy's "Almagesi," a collection of classic observations and problems relating to geometry and astronomy. The first printed almanac was the "Pro Pluribus Annis," issued at Vienna in 1457 by an astronomer named Purbach. The earliest known almanac devoted expressly to the year of issue was published by Rabelais in 1533. Thenceforth the. ephemeral yearly character of the publication came to be definitely recognized by almanac makers. Nostradamus set the fashion of incorporating predictions of coming events into almanacs, a fashion that, has continued to this day in all purely astrological brochures of thi9 sort despite intermittent efforts to suppress it by royal authority in France | and elsewhere.?Era.

Blow out a candle, and if the wick continues long to smokier look for bad weather. If It goes out quickly, the weather will be fair. The twelve days after Christmas indicate the weather for the following year. Each day in order shows the weather for one month. When it begins to snow, notice the size of the flakes. If they are very fine, the storm will be a long one; if large, the storm will soon be over. If the chickens come out while it rains, it is a sign that the storm is to be a long one. If they stand around under the shed, the storm will be short.

When a night passes and no dew falls, it is a sign it is going to rain. This omen loses much of its mystery when one remembers that dew has not fallen because the night was clouded. When you see the sun drawing water at night, know that it will rain on the morrow. The sun is said to be drawing water when its rays can be seen shining through rifts in distant clouds. Brain Strain. A French investigator has come to the conclusion that the brains of military men give out most quickly. He states that out of every 100,000 men of the army or naval profession 199 are hopeless lunatics. Of the liberal professions artists are the first to sucfcumb to the brain strain, next the lawyers, followed at some distance by doctors, clergy, literary men and civil servants.

A good committee will take as much pains in the ar rangement" of its audience as of its speakers. An audience seated without crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Neither is an audience whose hands are occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an audience largely composed of women or an audience in a cold room. The easiest audiences to address, the most responsive and inspiring, are those composed of men crowded and packed together and warm. Women naturally do not applaud or cheer. They are by instinct more self restrained in the public expression of their emotions than men. Every public speaker is complimented by their presence, knowing that their quiet word at home is oftentimes more effective in results than the most enthusiastic shouting on the street corners by the other sex. In a public meeting, however, the audience gets its cue from those nearest the speaker. I remember well two audiences, both from the same social class, both crowded, both in large theaters and both largely attended by women. One happened to be in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In one meeting the orchestra was reserved for women. In the other meet ing the men nau the orcnesira auu me women had the lower gallery and all the boxes. In both cases the audiences were entirely friendly to the speakers. The second meeting was marked by wild enthusiasm, the first one by respectful attention. In the second case the mass of men in the orchestra urged on the speakers by continued applause. In the first case the men in the galleries who started to applaud were checked because between them and the speakers was a mass of absolutely silent femininity in the orchestra. I do not say that one meeting was less effective than the other, but the difference in the strain on the speaker was marked.?From "The Spellbinder," by Colonel Curtis Guild* Jr., in Sc-rib? -? 1 m _ ^ ii xne i^aoy is wiitting j Be bure and use that old and well j tried remedy, Hrs.

In Dr. John Hall's time it was the custom in his church to use the old fashioned, simple hymns, and the singing was congregational. On one occasion William M. Evarts discovered E. Delaiield Smith, then corporation counsel of New York city, singing with all his heart and whispered to his friend: ''Why. there is Smith singing "I want to be an angel!' I knew he wanted to be district attorney, but I didn't know he wanted to be an angel." The remark was repeated to Mr. Smith, and quick as a flash came the retort: "No, I have never mentioned the matter to Evarts, knowing that lie had no influence in that direction." Loading Satan Down. "Lightning knocked the church steeple down," some one said to. Brother Dickey. "Yes; Satan's eyes always flash tire when he sees a church steeple gwine up." "And here's a colored brother killed another at a camp meetin?;." "Yes; Satan goes ter raeetin' 'long wid de res' er dem en sometimes slionts de loudes'." "And a preacher was drowned in the river last week." "Oh. yes; Satan's in de water too. He 'blcege ter go dar ter cool off." "So you blame everything on Satan, do you?" "Bless God!" was the reply.

"I deny the fact!" said a voice from the other end of the table. All smiled save the bore. "You deny the fact, sir?" said lie. "May T ask on what authority you condemn the investigations of my most learned friend?" "I deny the fact." replied Smith, "and I base my denial on evidence wedded to immortal verse well known to every scholar at least at this table!" The emphasis laid 011 scholar nettled the naturalist by its implication. "Well, sir." he said, "will you have the kindness to quote your authority?" "I will, sir. The evidence is those well known, I may say immortal, lines: "Who saw him die?" "I." said tiie fly, "With my little eye!" The guests roared, and during the rest of the dinner nothing further was heard 011 the subject of natural history. THE COOKBOOK. Peeled, chopped tomato sprinkled over lettuce, the whole covered with French dressing, makes a Russian 6alad. To steam potatoes peel them and when very clean put them in a colander over boiling water. Cover tightly with a lid and leave them until done. Tarragon leaves are most useful in salad and should be scalded, squeezed in a towel and chopped fine. This herb gives a zest to the salad that is always appreciated. v When making beef tea, never add the salt till the meat has been cooking for several hours. Salt acts upon the fiber and prevents it giving out all its nourishing properties. A steak one inch thick requires to be broiled seven minutes'; one inch and a half, twelve minutes; two inches, twenty minutes, near the fire at first and then four inches away. A substitute for caper sauce is made by boiling some sprigs of parsley slowly to let it become a bad color. Do not chop it fine. Set it in melted butter, season with salt and a dessertspoonful of vinegar, boil up and serve. Our books are complete treatises '' I on fertilizers, written by men who know. fl Write for them.
