BRIDES CHOSEN IN THE DARK.
An Indian Scheme for Malinsr the
Bravei with Wealthy Maids.
' 'An old custom was revived, by the
Nez Ferce Indians and their visitors
during1 the celebration on the last
Fourth of July. The natives of the local
tribe are very wealthy, and there :ire
designing mothers among- the aborigi
nes as veil .as in the different classes of
civijized society. The young bucks of
the Kez Perce tribe are regarded some
what like the scions of royalty in mat
rimonial circles. The maidens from all
visiting tribes were brought to Lspwai
to find husbands. The customs of the
tribes, which were revived fur tie occa
sion, were more effective than the Eos
ton man's way.
The young men marched forth, and
none but candidates for matrimony
joined the march. They were dressed
in their brightest colors, and each car
ried a white willow cane. As they ap
proached the tents they chanted an In
dian chorus that was as doleful as the
song of the owl, and kept tins by beat
ing upon the tents with tha'r canes.
The drumming was deafening to the
distant spectator, and must have been
distracting to the waiting maidens in
the tents.
At last the singing' and drumming
had' the desired effect. The maidens
came forth, after a delay just long
enough to satisfy that universal pas
sion of the mind of a woman to drive
.a. lover mad with doubt. There were
more men than maidens. The former
out. The maidens countermarched on,
lite line of the same circle, each select
ing' a husband from the line. The
chosen ctr.i hastened to follow their
brides away into the darkness. Theiin-
,juuujiihu asuii-ui-K. were ieii ix uespadr.

f .A "Window xiox Flower Garden.
. A window box may be a very cheap or
a very expensive affair, but a cheap one,
made out of a packing box, will grow
flowers just as well as a costly one made
of tiles. All that is necessary is some
thing that will hold soil. It is not
enough to simply nail window boxes to
the wall; a brace should run length
wise of the box, and be strongly brack
eted at each end to furnish support for
the box. The soil with which the box
5s filled should be rich; plants will not
grow in poor earth. It i3 often difficult
to get good soil in the city, but the ad
dition of a little bonemeal, which can
le procured from any store where gar
den seeds are sold, will make a poor soil
sufficiently rich in all elements of plant
food to insure success. If you do not
feel able to afford fertilizer the use of
soapsuds on washing day will supple
ment, to a considerable extent, what
ever nutriment is contained in such soil
as happens to be available. Ladies

UP TO DATE-
An Indian Wogaan Who Is Up
with, the Times.
4he Wear Artistically Fashioned
Bloomers and Is the Wife of a
- Rich Merchant of the Lone
Star State.
The newest of new wemen, and yet
one of the oldest, if the aborigines may
be classed as "old," was eeen on the
streets of St. Louis a few days ago.
She was a splendid specimen of wom
anhood, strikingly handsome and su
perbly proportioned, and was dressed
in bloomers, although they differed in
style and cut from any worn by the
St. Louis bicycle girls. She was an In
dian woman, the full-blooded daughter
rf a chief of the Sioux tribe, one of the
fiercest and most bloodthirsty bands
which ever troubled the settlers of the
west, and her dress was one of the most
peculiar ever seen, on the streets of a
great city. A dark hat of modern style
half hid a quantity of raven-black hair
ou her splendid head, and a long1 ulster
of the most recent fashion enveloped
her, outlining- her fine figure to advan
tage. But below this there flapped out
as she walked the most remarkable part
of her dress, and that which attracted
the most attentionvher bloomers. They
were cut long and straight, like men's
trousers, and were small at the bot
tom, so that they were rather close
about the ankles. These bloomers were
of black silk, and the inner and outer
seams were decorated with four or five
rows of . beads of . various colors and
worked in fanciful design. Flowers,
snakes and animals ran up and down
the' side, and made the bloomers, or
trousers, a thing1 to attract attention
anywhere, and especially on so hand
some a woman. Her complexion was
olive, like that of a Spanish girl, and
clear; her cheeks were rosy and her
voice low, but her eyes were dark and
piercing, and eeemed y look through
one. But with all her fanciful dress
and . her name of Talaconqua, she is
the wife of one of the richest merchants
of the great southwest, and is on her
way to Europe, where she will doubtless
be received by royalty.
In direct contrast to this woman was
one of her companions. Taller than
she, with hair as light as hers was dark,
and light blue eyes, his ruddy, sanburnt
face was partially shaded by the broad
brimmed sombrero, which was tipped
to one side on his head. As he walked
there was a swing1 to his gait that told
of the easy gallop of the mustang1, and
everything in his manner bespoke the
cowboy. His shirt, which was of ex
pensive material, was made negligee
fashion and cut low at the neck, show
ing1 a powerful neck, tanned by the ex
posure of many suns on the plain. His
clothes, too, were of expensive material,
but the cut was a trifle odd. Still, they
gave one the impression that they were
paid for, and that the man who wore
them had his own opinion as to how
clothes should be made for him, as he
was the man to wear them. He walked
along, frequently squirting1 a stream of
tobacco juice through his white teeth j
and stroking his long blonde mustache.
The man, Samuel Brennan, is worth
$250,000, and is one of the most success
ful merchants in Texas.
Between this strangely assorted pair
valked a youngster, about six years
old, and his dress was as stylish as that
of his companions was unconventional.
A leather Tam O'Shanter was placed
jauntily on one side of -his crown of
golden curls and he wore a velvet coat
of Fauntleroy pati-arn. His little -feet
were incased in swell patent leather
boots, and above them, extending near
ly to the hip, were leather leggings.
These were decorated somewhat after
the manner of the bloomers which the
woman beside him wore, but were not
so noticeable because of the decoration,
as there were only two rows of beads
and they were dark in color. The lit
tle fellow carried . cane, which he
swung- to and fro like a Fifth avenue
dude, and yet the Indian woman is
his mother and he is the heir to $255,-
000, and is going abroad to enjoy the
advantages of foreign travel. St. Louis
