Engaged In Agriculture and Industrious Workers Home of the Quaer Customs Still In Vogu a, Among Them. The remnant of the Alabama tribe, which migrated to the Trinity river re gion early in the present century, is a branch of the Creek nation, and is in termixed with a few Coshattas and Muscogees. They speak three differ ent languages, all evidently dialects of the Creek, and most of them under stand the Mobile tongue, or servite Ohoctaw, which, like the French of Eu rope, was the universal language mong the tribes and their usual means f communication with the whites. The remnant of this race, says the Chicago Tribune, now numbers about i hundred. Their crops are principally :ultivated for their own use, rather than for -sale. Indian corn is the principal, although many of them plant potatoes, and all of them vege tables, and they usually fill their villages with fruit trees. During the ieason of cultivation they remain jlosely at home, working industrious ly, and hunting1 only at such times as they have leisure from their crops. "But when everything has been fathered and housed, the last crevice if their granaries is closed to exclude ight and air as a guard against weevil, hen comes the return to Indian life md Indian enjoyment. They break up nto hunting parties after the Arab ashlon, taking with them their wives and children, their horses and tents, md household utensils. They seek the wild pine forests, away from the settle ments, and work their way in the dense uanebrakes along the rivers which vhite men rarely if ever penetrate. They soon fill their camps with game, md alone with themselves and nature, jver safe from the intrusion of a supe rior and conquering race, they enjoy the realization of Indian life as it was before the white man discovered their iountry. When weary of the chase, r satisfied with its results, they return to their villages their horses laden with dried meat, deerskins to be dressed for the market, and bear's oil in skins for their own use or for sale. These ex cursions occupy their time until the season comes for repairing their fences and making ready for their crops, when they all return home cheerful and contented to begin the routine for another year. . Like other Indians they have that fatal passion for ardent Kpirits which seems destined to be their extermina tion. But it is generally kept within bounds, as they do not drink habitual ly. A constitutional depression of spir its, to which they are peculiarly sub ject, or an overflow of social feeling on the reunion with friends returning from their hunting excursions, usually leads to a debauch. One after anoth er is drawn in and the revel sometimes extends over two or three davs and nights. Vv nen it is over they carefully efface all traces of their dissipation, dress themselves handsomely, return to their usual avocations, and for a long time drink nothing intoxicating. They have a wild, irregular code of dueling of their tiwn and are always ready to throw away life on a point of honor, and do it with a coolness and Indifference which would excite the envy of a white advocate of the code. In fact, tht-v li not seem to feel tiny Instinctive dread of death. They speak of it with us much imliflVrrucc Us of tiny future event and meet it apparent ly without four or reluctance. When their crops tire worked to a point of safety they are willing to help their white friends. At farms where they ore kindly treated and where they Iim it ugreealile to htay they work at inmliTute wages, und during the cotton Tiistin give liniMirtutit aid. Cotton .diking i their favorite work, Their mull hands und lithe and agile forms irlido through the rot ton without breaking or otherwise Injuring it. As they pick by weight nnd are tvniiittecl toehiHiMt their own time of work, this leaves them tliut freedom of Betion they prize so highly. They pick very neatly and carefully, attend strictly to the instructions of their employers, and in this, as In nil their relations with the whites who treat them kindly, arts uni formly dosirmm to plt'itse. Ktiijiiette with them require the wife to wait on the IiiikI.uiiiI. This rule U not allowed to U-ur heavily tiion the woman, however. What time the Iiun I'liiul en n spur" from hin own peculiar duties Is sMiit In stuirinir anil lighten ing Hut lulwiranf his wife. And some of them will not JxTiuil their wives to work at all.

"In the minds of most people," said a man with an expert knowledge of fish and fishing, "the sturgeon is doubtless ac.-jociated with the idea of a big fish only; they think of him when he is well grown and has come to weigh seventy five to two hundred and fifty pounds, and I suppose that most people, when they think of sturgeon as a food, think only of smoked sturgeon, which is the form in which it is most commonly placed in the market. To those famil iar with the fish in these forms only the idea of broiled sturgeon might seem humorously preposterous, but broiled is the way the fisherman eats it if he can get a sturgeon of the right size. "The flesh of the old sturgeon is coarse and rouch: that of the J r sturgeon is finer and much more palat- aoie. Jt "in tii-n n r-..-ori that weighs eight or ten pounds and cut out steaks five or six inches back from the head and broil them you will find them very good. But the .sturgeon is rather oily and you can't eat very much of them. Young sturgeon is sometimes fried, but not so often; it is better broiled; but along the water front men make a stew of sturgeon, with onions, that is by no means unpalatable." A REf-UGE FQR IDLERS. Recesses of the National Capitol a Favorite Loafing Place. The capitol is a shelter for the shel terless during cold and nasty weather, says the Washington Post. It is much more agreeable to sit in the warm gal leries and nod through the speeches and debates than to shiver over a fire less stove in an attic. A number of im pecunious old gentlemen have discov ered this and avail themselves of the hospitality of the government with profit and comfort to themselves and harm to no one, for on inclement days few people have enough ambition to go up to congress, even when matters of great interest are under discussion. A large contingent of decayed gentility make daily pilgrimages there, with the excuse that they are interested in legis lation. Some of the more fortunate ones carry a "snack" in their pockets, and can be seen surreptitiously convey ing morsels of bread and cheese, in some cases the fragrant bologna, from their pockets to their mouths. The majority of these worthies prefer the house side, where there is some move ment and excitement, but those who seek rest rat her than entertainment go to the senate gallery, where it is possi ble to sleep peacefully through the long speeches. Two very much out-at-the-clbow gentlemen were over heard in the rotunda discussing into which gallery they should ?Q- "I want to be cheered up, md they are still fighting about ;he currency bill," said the tall, slim me, whose legs were too long for his .rousers and whose nose looked as if he tad been accustomed to another sort of iheer, but his thick comrade, who had oeen cheered already, decided in favor jf the senate, and they separated. There were only seven members on the floor with Senator 1'asco, who was de livering his speech on the Nicaragua canal. Our venerable friend rested his head against the partition, and soon his gentle snoring interrupted the un usual quiet of the chamber. Fortu nately he escaped the attention of the ever vigilant doorkeepers und his imp lasted until the senate adjourned. The doorkeepers do not allow slccpinrf in the galleries if they knoiv of it, since an unhappy distnrtmni e was o:ie day created by an unlucky sliinilicn-r who had the nightmare and awoke clutch ing the air und crying: "Kill him! kill him!"

THEIR OWN NUTCRACKERS. Busy Birds Which Yon May See In the Woods This Month. Perhaps you would like to hear of a curious little bird. Go out into t he woods in January or February any time and you may see him. He is about six inches long. He wears a black cap, a grayish blue coat and a dirty white shirt front. He runs up and down the tree trunks, searching diligently for little insects who think they have hid den themselves safely away in some little crack in the bark, says the New York World. He is a quiet little fellow, having no song. The only noise he makes is a harsh call, which, sounds like the word "quank!" This bird is called the nut hatch, because he is fond of nuts, crack ing them open and eating the kernels. You may see one of them take an acorn as big as his head, and fixing it in some crevice in the tree pound away upon it with his little bill until it breaks open and rewards the little worker with a meal. These birds are also expert gymnasts. They will run up a tree, going swiftly round and round it all the way up. Then quickly turning about they will come down the trunk head first in the same fashion, stopping now and then to snap up some little bug or worm which has ventured out to see what the weather is. Country boys sometimes speak of these birds as "little devil down heads." But this is longer and not so pretty as the nuthatch. THE IVi I J D LE - A G E D MAN. He Bays Two Cents' Worth of Cocoannt Cakes and Renews His Youth. "When I was a boy," said a middle aged New Yorker the other day, ac cording to the Sun, "I used to be very fond of cocoanut cakes, as they were called, small disks of candied cocoanut, which cost one cent each. They were colored white and red, and ftaally they got 6ome chocolate colored, and it seems to me they had some other colors. If I had only one cent I bought usually a white one, though some times I took a red one; if I had two cents I bought a red and white, to have a variety. I have seen the time when I had three cents, and bought all three colors at once. "I had not bought any cocoanut cakes for I don't know how many years, though I had seen them along year after year, particularly in sum mer, when the dust blows and the white ones get all covered with dirt; but the other day I bought two of the new-fashioned kind, that seems just now to be having a run; you see them on all the push carts. The new cocoa nut cakes aro all one color, a sort of molasses color; pnd thoy are not round and flat like the old ones, but thick and bunchier, like little broken-off masses of the prepared cocoanut.' "I found them very good. They differ somewhat from the old-fashioned cocoanut cako in taste and texture, as well as in build and color; the old cocoanut cake, while not brittle, ex actly, was what you might call crumbly und sugary; it dissolved quick ly iu the mouth; while the contem poraneous cocoanut cake, after you get below the light frostwork of iU exte rior, has decidedly more consistence; it is what the modern child calls chewy; but the cocoanut taste is there all right, and as I eat them they carry me back to the days of my youth." POLLV3 USEFULNESS. Installed aa a KollPltnr for Money for the I'oor. It has hitherto been customary to fritter awuy the intellectual force of parrots by merely teaching them to say "I'rctty Foil" and things of that sort, but the municipal authorities of a French town have Instituted what It is to lx hoped will lieeome a general reform. The poor-box at the town hall, It seems, had for ft long time been in ft condition discreditable to the more prosN-rouN of the inhabitants. To re miud them of their duty toward their poorer ncighltor. a parrot was pur chased, which was installed close to the Inix and trained to cry: "For the poor, if yoil please!" The result. It appears, has In-cn high ly sutUf.ictorv. pence and silver having Is-en freely given in response to the bird's npix'ul. The Idea Is enpable of Wing applied In a variety of w ays.
