A SINGULAR DUEL How the Death Penalty Was Adminis tered to Two Indiana. The following story Illustrates very wcli one of the characteristics of the Indian, as it shows that Iudlaus, as a rule, did not mind dying so much as they were particular about the method. It was a good many years ago at Pine Ridge, when there was trouble with the Choyenues. Major Cooper was there as agent, and there were two youog Choyennes who were badly wanted for murder. They had way laid and killed a prospector. They were not caught, and the chances were that they would not be unless the boI dlers were called in. If this were done It was likely to precipitate troublo with the whole tribe, and Major Coop er laid the case before the headmen. They were told that If the soldiers were sent for there would surely be trouble and were requested politely to ask the two errlug bucks to como in and be hanged. Word was sent to tho two young Indians, Head Chief and Young Mule, who were out In tho hills. They sent word back that they had no objection to dying if It would keep the rest of the tribe out of trouble, but that if they had to die they preferred to die fighting, and they wnnted it distinctly understood that they would not ho hanged. It was entirely against tho Customs of the government, but rules did not go for much In those days. Results were the chief things, and Major Cooper sent word to them that If they wanted a fight ho would risk accommodating them. A dato w?i set and onrly In the morning they rode to ward tho agency, fully armed. MaJo? Cooper was out to meet them, and the rest of tho tribe, the potential hostlles, i were gnthorcd on tho hills to soo fair ! play. Tho agent rodo out Into the open and slipped off his horse, using It I for cover and shooting across the sad dle. Tho two young Indians galloped up to within shooting distance and com menced circling, hanging on tho off side of their ponies and shooting un der their necks and across their hoada. The tacit understanding was that if they were killed It wob all right, but If thoy got the agent they would pull out Into the hills and wait for some othor challenger. The fight did not last long. Cooper had a heavy buf falo gun and killed one Indian, shoot lug hlui through the body of his horse. Tho other kept on circling, and sevoral shots were exchanged till tho Indian was shot through the body. Ho know it would be nil up with him In a fow minutes and chargod, shooting as ho came. But the agent's luck held good, and he was dropped within fifty yards. Tho law was satisfied, ond the agent was able to report officially to Wash ington that the Indians had been ex ecuted.?Washington Star. What Is a Midshipman? By luck I for tho first time in my lifo have found a plausible derivation for midshipman. It would nppeor that in the days immediately after the flood the vessels were very high at the ends, between which there was a deep "waist," giving no ready moans of passing from one to the other. To meet this difficulty there were employ ed a class of men, usually youug and alert, who from their station were called midship men, to carry messages which were not subject for the trum pet shout If this explanation holds water, It, liko forecostlo and after guard and knightheads, gives another Instance of survival of nomenclature from conditions which have long since ceased. Whatever the origin of his title, it well expressed tho anomalous and un defined position of the midshipman. He belonged, so to say, to both ends of the ship as well as to tho middle, and his duties aud privileges alike fell within the broad saying that what was nobody's business was a midshipman's. When appointed as such In later days he came in "with the hayseed in his hair" and went out lit for a lieuten ant's charge, but from first to last, whatever his personal progress, he coutluued as n midshipman, n handy billy.?Captain A. T. Mahan in Har : per's. Tho World's Gypaie?. Tho gypsies have passed under a va riety of names, arising either from their supposed orlglual country or the callings and characteristics of the race. The old English Egyptiun, the Span ish Qitana and tho Magyar Pharas nepek (Pharaoh'0 people) all point to on Egyptian origin. The Scandinavian Tataro identifies them with the Mon golian hordes which terrorized early Europe, while the French Bohemian suggests yet another country ns their cradle. As to tho names bestowed by their supposed charucter, the Arab boldly calls them haraml (a villain), tho Dutchman hoydens, or heathens, aud tho Persian taken his name from their complexion and dubs them karnchl, or swarthy. A charter of William the Lion, as early as the twolfth century, mentions their Scotch name of tin klers, which l:i commonly supposed to be a corruption of tinker, although pos sibly tho substitution of "t" for "z" has produced this form of tho Italian Zingaro, one of the most widespread of gypBy appellations.?London Chron icle.

"For many ages," says a writer, "the ?mall birds which i?r? knows In Afri ca ns honey guides have been in the habit of leading human beings to tho ne^ts of bees. The first notice of tho kind of which I hare knowledge is in 'Lobo's Travels In Abyssinia,' publish ed by Le Grand in 1728. Tho moroc or honey bird,' says this author, Ms endued with a peculiar Instinct or fac ulty of discovering honey. When the moroc has discovered any honey he re pairs Immediately to the roadside and when ke sees a traveler sings and claps his wings, making many mo tions to lnvlte'hlm to follow him, and when he perceives his coming files be fore him from tree to tree till he conies to the place where the bees have stor ed their treasure and then begins to sing melodiously. The AbyBslnlan takes tho honey without falling to leavo part of it for the bird to roward him for his information.' Sparrman, who traveled at the Cape In 1775*70, gives also a very good description of tho bird as observed in the southern part of tho continent. "The honey guides lead human be ings to the nests of wild bees not so much for the honey as for the grubs or larvao found within the comb. The natives are for the most part well nwnre of this fact, aud if they reward the honey guide, which they usually do to 80M10 grudging extent, break off for it n piece of the comb in which tho grubs are hatching. Sparrman has a curious note upon this detail. He says, T was informed by my boahiosmcn (bushmon), as well ns by the colonists, that a man who makes it his coustant business to go after tho bees should not at first bo too gratoful and gener ous to this officious bird, but leave for It only Just ns much as will serve to stimulate Its appetite, by which means It will he lnducod in hopes of obtain ing a more liberal roward to discover another swarm of beos.* "When it desires to fcod upon somo comb which it has discovered it makes its way to a humnn being, flutters about restlessly and hops from branch to branch or from bush to bush or from one ant hill to another until it succeeds In attracting tho man's atten tion. During this time It utters n shrill cry of 'cherr, cherrl' frequently re peated. If the man is a native who understands its habits and is willing to follow it ho often gives a soft, soothing whlstlo and, taking with him n hatchet, accepts the restless little creature's guidance. Tho honey guide now goes on ahead, never keeping very far away and always Jealously notic ing whether tho man Is really follow ing. At length the honey nest is reach ed and the bird's object accomplished. While the native or natives nttack the nest and rifle the comb tue bird still flutters about, chirping. When the busi ness is concluded and the men depart the honey guide descends from its perch and helps itself to as much of the larvae as it can find. "When thus following a honey guide the native goes, ns n rule, very quietly, taking core not to frighten his small adviser. If tho man by reason of bush or other obstacle travels, in the bird's opinion, too slowly it will repeatedly come back to him, fly closely and an grily about him and with restless twit ters and evident impatience urge upon j him the necessity of hurrying up." Roaring Wags. Specialists modem scientists are bound to be. But they are not the shriveled specimens so often pictured by the man In the street, all cold in tellect and devotion to the pursuit of an abstract idea. They know how to piny. Like other mon, they are gre garious and play together. Tho Bed Lion club was composed of great Englishmen, and Huxley was* one of tho members. Tho club used to meet during the session of the British association. To a certain meeting at Ipswich, England, which Huxley de scribed in his "Letters," somo foreign ers wero invited, the Prince of Cnnino, Bonaparte's nephew, among them, and greatly astonished they were at the exceedingly human behavior of the learned professors. The Red Lion men had a custom of roaring Instead of cheering and of wagging one coat tall?the lion's tail?when applauding. The prince was much Impressed by these proceedings, and whon be stood up to respond to the toast of his health instead of making a speech he gave threo mighty roars and threo wags.? j Youth's Companion.

"Tho first game of football I wit nessed upon my arrival In Cblnn," one ?f our consular representatives at home for a visit remarked recently, "1 mis took for a very serious riot, and you wouldn't have blamed mo cither. "In tho first place, I was not nware that tho Chinese had any such game, but later found that It is very popular In north China. It is not played as Is the American game, and Instead of eleven players to tho side there aro fif ty. These northern Chlnoso are almost glauts, and every man on tho team will be six feet or over in height and weigh on tho average 200 pounds. There are no goals, side linos or halves. Tho game lasts until one side is the winner, and frequently this Is not accomplished, before two or three days. "Tho idea of the gamo is to forco a small wlckor basket, which takes tho placo of our ball, into tho territory of tho other side?this territory being ono half of the town?and up and down the streets the fight rages. Bach man is equipped with a whistle with which to summon assistance when too hard pressed. "Stealth as well as main forco may be used in getting tho 'ball' Into tho enemy's country, and I know of one clever player who did so by passing over tho roofs of the houses. As you may Imagine, a hundred giants yell ing and fighting in tho streets creato some excitement."?Harper's Weekly. Blowing the Note. Medical experts are calling the atten tion of the public to tho importance of rforming the nose blowing operation a scientific and hygienic manner. First one nostril and then tho other should bo blown without unduo vio lence. Doctors state that tho two nasal passages should never l>o closed at the same time. If they are obstructed, as iu tho caso of a cold, tho back of tbo thront is filled with compressed air, and this, together with the discharga, and tho microbes which it contains, may bo driven through tho eustnohlal tubo Into the middlo ear and lend to serious results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid ids patients to blow their noses when suffering from a cold. Tho courBo is hardly ono which will commend Itself to thOSO in tho habit of catching colds. Tho best advice would seem to be that when it is necessary to blow the nose blowing should bo done gently.?London Mall. Wanted His Money's Worth. "Have you any choice as to tho wed ding march?" asked the church organ ist. "Tho wedding march?" echoed tho father of the bride. "Yes; the march that is played when tho bridal procession move's down tho alslo. Which ono would you prefer? Mondelssohn's or tho march from 'Lohengrin ?' " "Any difference iu tho expense?" "Oh, no!" "Then play the ono that's the long est." 8llk Manufacture. From all accounts silk manufacture originated in China. Chlnoso tradition has it that tho Emperor Fob Li taught his people the art of cultivating the silkworm as early as 5000 B. O. Spain wos tho first European country to re ceive tho silkworms, tho Arab conquer ors introducing them about the tenth contury, probably from their home ott the borders of Persia. The foundation of tho silk industry in France dates from tho year 1510, when Francis I. imported silk workers from Miian. Tho Baby's Fault. Nursemaid?I'm going to leave, mum. Mistress ?
