^tumorous jOrpartmcnt. Too Cold to Boll Ekk?. "I'll bet this here coal strike must 'a caused th' durndest sort of sufferin' up irT"th' Klondike." Uncle Bill shook his head at the very thought of it. ' "Why, it's so pesky cold up thar even when they do have coal, that?say, did I ever tell ye th' experience old Cy Draper's boy Jake had tryin' t' cook eggs in th' Klondike? "Wal, first mornin' he wuz thar he took his ice pick an' pried four eggs off'n th' heap of provisions he'd brought along. "Then he built a roarin' hot fire and set th' kettle on. 'Long sometime thet arternoon th' water commenced t' bile a mite, an' he dumped th' eggs in. Late thet night he shoveled some more coal on th' fire an' then went tew bed. "Next morning he thought his eggs must be nigh done an' fished one out with the ice tongs. "You'll hardly believe it, sir, but when he split it open thet egg wuz plumb raw. Why, it wuz skeercely warmed through. "But Jake wasn't discouraged. He jest shoveled on more coal an prepared tew wait a spell longer. "At th' end uf th' third day th' kettle wuz almost biled dry, an' he had to add more water. Four days after that he opened another egg. It wuz jest warmed through an' that's all. "On th' night of the twentieth day, Jake fully determined tew bile them eggs at any cost, shoveled his last ton of coal on an' opened all the draughts. " 'Them eggs must be done by t'morrow,' he said tew himself. "Next mornin' bright an' early he wuz suddintly awakened by a terrible squakin an' fiappin'. "He rushed intew th' kitchen an' looked in th* kettle. "Would you believe it, sir, thet kettle wuz biled dry again an' thar in th' bottom wuz two little chickens a dancin' 'round an' fiappin' their wings acrost their chests tryin' in vain tew keep warm. "Ye see, it's so durned cold in th* Klondike thet bilin' water up thar ain't no hotter'n an ordinary incubator down here. "What became of th' chickens? Oh, th' minit Jake took 'em outer th' kettle th* poor little critters froze tew death."?New York Sun. The Story of Jezebel.?The famous St. Jezebel narrative is one of the choice stories of a present bishop of Baltimore. It was just after the civil war and one of the church bodies was endeavoring to establish colored churches with colored pastors In the south. There was a lack of men qualified to be ordained. In this emergency the churchmen decided to ordain several colored men who were recognized exhorters among the colored parishes, and known to be men of piety. Some slight preliminary examination was deemed advisable, however, and they were questioning a candidate to learn what qualifications he possessed. Of Moses he knew that he had lea the children of Israel through the wilderness. David had been a king who played a harp, Paul wrote epistles, but vagueness of detail accompanied each. In despair the examiners asked the candidate to tell them something of his own accord that he did know fully and in detail. He said he knew the story of St. Jeza Belle and told it somewhat as follows: St. Jeza Belle, she sat at an upper window of the Palace of Samaria looking out, and King Ahab he came riding along and he mighty mad and he said, "Throw her down!" and they threw her down. And he say, "Throw her down seven times!" and they threw her down seven times. And he say, "Throw her down seventy times seven!" and it was done. And the dogs came and licked her sores, and of the remains they gathered up twelve baskets full and whose wife shall she be in the resurrection??Baltimore Sun. At Sea on Land.?A clergyman who had neglected all knowledge of nautical affairs, was asked to deliver an address before an audience of sailors. He was discoursing on the stormy passages of life. Thinking he could make his remarks more pertinent to his hearers by metaphorically using sea exnrocclnnc ho coirl* "Now, friends, you know that when you are at sea, in a storm, the thing you do is anchor." A half concealed snicker spread over the room, and the clergyman knew that he had made a mistake. After the services, one of his listeners came to him and said, "Mr. , have you ever been at sea?" The minister replied: "No, unless it was when I was delivering that address."?New York Times. -fj?" Very careful was the farmer who entered a telegraph office in Central New York and sent this message to a woman in Canada: "Will you be my wife? Please answer at once by telegraph." Then he sat down and waited. No answer came. He waited till late in the evening: still no answer. Early the next morning he came in again, and was handed a dispatch?an affirmative reply. The operator expressed his sympathy. "Twas a little rough to keep you so long in suspense." "Look here young feller," said the farmer, "I'll stand the suspense. A woman that'll hold back her answer to a proposal of marriage all day so as to send it by night rates, is jest the economical woman that I've beer a-waitin' for." ? - m ? t-':' A Missouri editor apologizes to his readers for the lack of news as follows, which shows the trials to which a country editor is often subject: "Wt expected to have a marriage and a death notice this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and th?doctor being sick himself, the patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both items."

I I Way* In Which Prevarication May Be Developed. } How does one become a liar?that is ] to say, how does the child discover a ? lie and habitually make use of it? '< We can admit that at the beginning ? there is absolute sincerity. The child < through all its first years neither lies t nor dissimulates. Its sentiments, its j desires, translate themselves into words 1 and into acts. Its body is the constant < and Derfect expression of its inmost i being. Such is the starting point?sin- I cerity, absolute transparency. ' There is a multitude of little lies tolerated which we treat as pardonable. We tell the domestic to say we are not at home when we are; we compliment people to their faces and criticise them when they are gone; we say we are happy to see some one and directly after speak of having been annoyed. No more is necessary. The example has been given. We lie to the child himself. We are pressed by his many embarrassing questions and in order to free ourselves from the embarrassment reply with what is frequently a falsehood. Some fine day he discovers the truth, and the evil is done. The gravest case is when the child is taken as an accomplice in a He or when his mother tells him, "Above all, do not tell this to your papa." This is the ruin of all morality. The third stage is the first encounter of ? the child with society; the first shock with social life. The child who tells all he knows, sees and hears, all that he would better have left unsaid, is called the "enfant terrible." His parents do not tell him to lie, but they tell him it is not necessary to tell all he thinks. This is extremely serious, as it teaches the child that he cannot show himself as he is. This is the revelation of the lie obligatory. Above all, among his comrades he quickly learns to dissimilate, because if he is naive?expresses all his joys, pains, desires? they make sport of him; nay, worse, they abuse his confidence; the hopes, projects which he has confided to them he some day sees used against him. Thus the impossibility of living without lying is revealed to him. Society excuses certain forms of lying which are inspired by a feeling of politeness, modesty, shame. The child becomes a liar because all the world about him lies. The distinction between the liar and the man of sincerity is only relative. There are in reality only two categories?those who content themselves with the lies exacted by social life and those who have habituated^ themselves to lying more than society wishes to lie because of some personal interest. An important cause in the development of lying in children is the employment of excessive and ill advised punishments. The child who becomes a liar is the one who lives in perpetual terror of reproaches, humiliation or strokes. The lie for him is a supreme resource.?Chicago Tribune. HABITS OF THE INDIAN. SiiiKnlnr CnMomi ami Characteri*tlcM of the Red Man. "Few white men know how to trade ivith an Indian," remarked C. E. Ward, >f this city, who has made a study of [ndians for ten years past. "I once net an Indian with a magnificent nountain lion skin. He was willing :o part with the ornament, but his nrice was too high. I offered him $12.50, Dut he indignantly refused. Later, on :he same day, after I had learned how :o trade with an Indian I bought the jkia for $1.50. The secret of trading with the Inlian, according to Mr. Ward, is to apnear indifferent. The most successful trader is the one who goes with a supply of the same articles he is most desirous of buying. The Indian sees that the stranger has had experience, and negotiations are carried on upon a strictly business basis. An Indian refused $10 for a bow and arrow. It was bought for 51 by a man who carried 3everal bows and arrows in hand. This ivily individual leased the supply from i store in order to impress his copper colored friend, and he succeeded. "The Indian," said Mr. Ward, in speaking of traits of character he has observed in his red friends, "is one of the most faithful followers in the world if he has confidence in you. If he takes a. liking to you there is nothing you can ask he will not do. If he dislikes you, the less you have to do with the Indian the better. The Indian is a very much abused fellow and he has never been treated as he deserved by the white man. His vices are largely the fault of his white neighbors, and one of the greatest dangers that threatens the Indian is the traveling shows. The government reports declare that the Indians who went to Europe with Wild West aggregations were a lasting menace to their people when they returned home. They have contracted all the vices and none of the virtues of the white man. "The nature of the Indian cannot be learned from books. It must be studied by actual contact. So far as I have observed, all of the Indians are Catholics. They graft their own ideas onto that of the Roman Catholic religion, and it is indeed a peculiar mixture. You can't eradicate the Indian nature by any education, and it is a mistake to send Indians away to school. They should be educated at home among their own people, and their progress aught to be gradual, otherwise the whole race will soon disappear. Our government has been in too great a hurry. Let the Indian develop along lines congenial to his nature, and something may come out of all the expense ind time devoted to the. solution of the Indian problem. My idea is that the Indian is all right, but his ways are not our ways. Let us give him a ahance and time to work out his salvation. A Carlisle Indian gets the swellid head, and one such Indian may spoil in entire village. He is overeducated, but in the end he is worse off than at the beginning." Mr. Ward says his Investigations ?how that 90 per centj^of the Indians lie of tuberculosis. Whether the disease was introduced by contact with the whites he does not know. This is i subject that Is receiving the attention if the authorities at Washington, and is regarded as one of the most importirj< subjects of investigation by those who are interested in the survival of the race that once dominated the continent. "The customs of the various tribes is i never ceasing topic of interest," said Mr. Ward. "After a white man lives iwhiie among the Indians he is graduilly taken into their confidence and shown many curious performances, all )f which have a meaning to the scien:ist. One summer, down among the \paches, I was invited by the chiefs to je present at their great medicine lance. This ceremony has from time mmemorial been performed on the janks of a stream that flows into Stinking lake, twenty-five miles from Dulce, N. M. Two, large brush arbors ire built on each bank of the stream, rhe women take their places in one arjor and the men in the other. The cerimonv lasts two davs. It commences it sunrise, when the men and women ire seen lying on the ground with their eet in the water. They lie perfectly still, the water moving past and, ac:ording to their belief, carrying their sins of the last year down to the lake. )n the morning of the second day we vere warned to hold our horses, and lad hardly secured them tightly when n an instant at a signal, the two lines >f men and women arose to a standing josition andQ began flapping their >lankets in the air. The noise was alnost deafening. The flapping was coninued while the Indians stood with heir toes in the water. They were shaking the evil spirits into the stream ll^VIRCM Mf FOR INFORMAT1GI Wb^ THE VRGMA-CAf CHARLESTON^ and causing them to be carried down to the lake and drowned. The ceremony is somewhat in the nature of an atone- 1 ment of the Jews. After the religious part of the business is over all join in dancing and gambling, and a season of feasting and enjoyment follows. These Indians are Catholics, but no influence can prevent them from continuing their ancient practices." . Mr. Ward witnessed the barbarous practice of pulling a rooster out of the sand and tearing the rooster to pieces. This ceremony takes place every September at Taos, and is attended by great crowds from long distances in the mountains. The rooster is buried in a sand heap, his head protruding. The game consists of riding past at the greatest speed and snatching the helpless fowl out of the sand pile by seizing its head. The Indians ride in opposite directions so as to reacn tne < spot at the same moment; each man ' grrabs at the head, and if one of them i succeeds in capturing the rooster he is < set upon by the other. A violent con- 1 flict ensues, and when the dust has 1 cleared away the pieces of the rooster 1 are scattered for a quarter of a mile along the racetrack. The delight and excitement of the spectators appear to be almost beyond control. The air is 1 rent by shouts and cries of the friends ' of the contestants, and days pass before the ordinary condition of affairs is restored. These strange freaks of human na- , ture are inexplicable to Mr. Ward, who is still studying the nature of the In- j dian, his whims and caprices, his good traits and his bad and ultimately a , philosophical explanation of the unique i customs and habits of thought may be | reached.?Denver News. THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. I How the Flag; DeiiKn Wan Finally Adopted. P. T. Beaureguard, of New Orleans, La., gives the following account of the design of the Confederate flag: "During the battle of Manassas, Gen. Beauregard had observed the difficulty of distinguishing our own from the enemy's colors, and in order to prevent all error in the future, had determined to adopt in his army a battle flag dis- J tinct in color and design. He at first sought to procure a change in the Con- j federate flag itself and Col. W. P. Miles, then chairman of the house military committee, had caused, at his request, a report to be presented to that effect, but with no result. In a con- ; ference between the (then) three senior officers, at Fairfax Court House, in September, out of four designs for a battle flag one, presented by Gen. Beauregard, was adopted. It was a red field with' 1 a diagonal blue cross, the latter edged with white and bearing white stars. To render it. more portable it was made 1 square instead of oblong by order of , Gen. Johnston. "This beautiful .design, by a strange , coincidence, had been previously devised by Col. Miles and recommended for the Confederate flag to congress, then in session at Montgomery, in March, 1861. It had also been proposed by Mr. Edward C. Hancock, at the request of Col. James B. Walton, at New Orleans in the month of April. It had been offered by Col. Miles to Gen. Beauregard in substitution for one nearly similar in emblem and pattern, but different in the distribution of colors, suggested to him by Gen. Beaure- j gard when the latter was seeking to procure a change in the Confederate ! flag. And it was now proposed anew < to the general by Col. Walton, who had I Mr. Hancock's design. | "Thus it will be seen that the design | of the Confederate flag was conceived . and drawn long before a Union soldier had tried his skill in 'water colors on an original which was not and could nev- J er have reached the hands of the gen eral's lamented daughter. For she was ] a little girl who was in Louisiana dur- i ing the whole of our unfortunate war ( and was seen by her father only at its close."?Exchange.

THE WIIY OF THINGS. ingenious Answer* to Some Perplexing Question*. Recently a series of questions propounded by Herbert Spencer was submitted to young people through the tfew York World. These questions, dejlgned to encourage investigation on :he part of the youngf, were as follows: I. How happens it that sheep, rabbits ind hares have eyes on the sides of :heir heads, while cats and dogs have :helr eyes nearly in front? 2. How is It possible for a lark, while soaring, to jing for several minutes without cesjation? 3. Cows and horses drink In :he same way that we do, whereas dogs ind cats drink by lapping. Whence irises this difference of habit? 4. Why Joes a duck waddle in walking? And what is the need for that trait of structure which causes the waddle? 5. How is it that a bulldog is able to retain his hold for a longer period than rther dogs? 6. Throughout the country the roads have strips of greensward several yards wide on either side of the part used for traffic. In what manner did those strips originate? Three school girls at Liberty, N. Y., were the first to respond to the Spencer questions. The explanations offered by these Liberty girls are as follows: 1. Animals that chase each other have their eyes in front; animals that fear being chased have eyes at the sides of the head so that they may see if any enemy is sneaking up. 2. It is no more trouble for a lark to soar than for a man to walk; soldiers march better when singing. Soaring is even easier than flying ordinarily; it's like sliding down hill or coasting on a bike. 3. Because they are built that way. 4. A duck waddles because her legs are set far apart and far back. They are far apart because that gives a broad base for floating on the water and far back bo that the duck can "kick behind" in swimming like a frog. 5. This is an old one. The bulldog can hold on for hours because his nose is turned back, permitting him to breathe easily with his mouth full. 6. In England, where the roads are very old, the sward at the sides was necessary to feed animals that men traveled with from place to place. So came the custom that Is now retained mainly for the looks. In New England, Bermuda and other places peopled by British colonists some roads are very narrow. Our country roads are made wide to give plenty of room to "work" them, but out west stock-raisers sometimes drive their herds long distances to the railroad, grazing them by the way, just as English drovers must have done in the old days.
