DRY PLATES FOR RED MEN. ETolotlon In Indian Draaa A Fanny Story of Chief Unahyhaad. "Indians who visit Washington almost invariably come to have their pictures taken," aid the photographer who gets most of this copper colored patronage to a reporter. "Hanging over there on the wall you may see a rather interesting series of portraits illustrating the evolu tion of the red man in the matter of habiliments from his primitive condition to the likeness of the newest London fashion plate. The flrst picture, as you observe, represents him in aboriginal togs complete. In the next he has on a pair of pantaloons always the first white man's garment adopted by the Indian. lie wears the trousers with his ordinary trite costume in other particulars, in cluding beads, feathers, etc., until, as is shown in the third photograph, it occurs to him to add a waistcoat and 'biled' shirt. The feathers and beads disappear at this staje, and Mr. Lo goes about in his skirt sleeveB, feeling very enlightened for some time before the coat is put on. Then, as you see in the fourth picture, collar and cuffs and silk hat are assumed, and Mr. Lo sprouts out very likely Into a regular howling swell on the Piccadilly pp- to. An Indian Aude is a sight for mvu and gods." "Ail the portraits in this series seem to be of the same man." "Yes, that is Chief Sorrowful Ghost, of the Crows, who are the most elabor ately dressed of all Indians in their na tive attire. The pictures were taken of him at different periods. By the way, Chief Bushyhead, of the Cherokee na tion, was here a while ago, and Boeing him crossing the lobby at Willard'a I asked a friend who was with me, named Van Wyck, if he would like to be intro duced. m 'WTiy,' said Van Wyck, astonished, you don't mean to say that handsomely dressed and distinguished looking man over there is an Indian? "Decidedly, yes,' I replied. 'Here he comes now, Mr. Bushyhead, let me in troduce my friend, Mr. Van Wyck.' " 'Happy to meet you, Mr, Van Wyck.' " 'Charmed to have the privilege of knowing you, Mr. Bushyhead. AnC really I hope you'll excuse the remark you are quite er civilized, aren't yfcaT " 'I trust so,' blandly responded the chief, ex-governor of Indian territory and one of the very rich men of that en lightened and prosperous region. " 'And are all the Indians of your tribe as civilized as yourself?1 asked Van Wyck. " 'Oh, yea' " 'Do you all live in tenta and wig wams? " 'Certainly. Here is a picture of my own wigwam,' "And the chief drew from the inside pocket of his coat a photograph of a beautiful Queen Anne cottage, which could not huve cost less than $35,000. " 'This is my summer wigwam,' said Bushyhead with grave affability. '1 have another for winter in town.' "Van Wyck, who had disregarded the nudges I gave linn while he was putting his questions, 'tumbled' at last, I under stand tliut he has been kicking himself ever since.

Even If the wearer be conscious which is sel domthat his tie is not as it should be, it is awkward to pose bt re the mirror, if there be one, and get red in the face in a fruitless struggle to rearrange the biassed tie. The genius aforesaid has got on to all this. Being a genius, to capture an idea was to act upon it He sought and obtained a position as usher in one of the theatres. Then he began business. The first man whose necktie looked as if it were in search of bis occipital bone, and who looked healthy enough not to be startled by the strangeness of the request, was ap proached. "Tie your necktie, sir?" "WhatT "Tie your necktie, air? It has become disarranged." "Has it? Well, go ahead." The tie was neatly adjusted, a quarter dropped in the hand of the tyer, and this began what is now quite a remune rative addition to the theatre usher's du ties. Of course the genius had imitators. All geniuses have. You can have your necktie perpendic ularly adjusted now not only at the theatres, but at balls and large recep tions. The pay is optional, and runs from a nickel to a dollar, according to the generosity of the customer or the size of his wad. Philadelphia Inquirer. Perforated Saws. Perforated blades for band and circu lar saws are just now attracting attention in Germany, and are apparently giving general satisfaction. Blades of this character are not entire novelties, but have been known in modified forms for some years, says The American Machin ist As a general thing, however, their use has been much decried. Still they appear to have some advantages worth considering, and many claims of superi ority are made for them. Among them is that of reduced blade friction, due to reduced area of rubbing surface, less tendency to heat, because of the circula tion of air through the holes, and econo my in power. The holes further prevent the dangerous extension of cracks in saw blades, and in general make it a com paratively easy matter to keep the saws in good running order. New York Tele gram.

To the Odyssey of Prince Joseph Sul koffjld, who was imprisoned in a Wnatio asylum at Vionna, escaped to Switzer land, and once again imprisoned in an asylum at Brun, has now been added another chapter. A board of nwdical men who have been "sitting on" the eccentric Austrian niil"onaire'uvv de clared that he is perfeotly saae, and that what in his case has i pro nounced insanity was nothing rilfl nality and eoeentricity, and consequent ly his Highness the Prince is once again at liberty and able to pursue Vie uneven tenor of his ways. Apropos of Prince SulkuflaWa release, the Paris Figaro publishes an account of I number. of other eooerUfln xtewvuwea ;n European high life; araoag thorn Kin? Louis II. of Bavaria naturally takes the flrst place. Duke TVeodore of Uavaria, who has recently performed his thousandth successful operation as an oculist, is mentioned as the one member of the Bavarian house whoso eccentricity is of a useful and laudable kind. His two august sisters, tho Em press of Austria and the Queen of Naples, have also many traits in their character which mark them at once as belonging to the eccentric bavarian ace. In the Ilohenzullern this "particular ism" has, ever since Frederick William I. and Frederick the Great, shown itself in a brutal and cynical t ait. An excep tion to this rule is Prince Frederick, the owner of the charming Castle of Rhen etein, on the banks of the Rhine, who often shows visitors over his beautiful residence and explains the treasures of Lis museum of antiquities. But the best and most frequent speci mens of an eccentric nation hail from the land of John Bull. Among them is mentioned Mr. Cecil S. (the Figaro warily suppresses the surname), who, for many years, made Paris ring with storit s of his wild doings. Finally gout attacked him, and he was doomed to perpetual confinement at home. The ballet having always been specially pat ronized by him, Mr. S. started a ballet in his own four walls, where he kept an entire stage with all that belongs to it including costumes of every possible variety. Five or six spectators were in vited to the choreographic spectacles, the artists in which were paid wlt.i more than princely liberality. Although Mr. S. could never set a foot outside his house he always retained his ten horses and four carriages, which were regularly driven about in the Bois and on the boulevards, somewhat like the empty carriages seen behind a hearse. Russia, too, has always had her eccen trie representatives at Paris, but has now accepted the social law of France, according to which, among the inhab itants of the most revolutionary country in Europe, it is considered extremely iU-brod to show any eccentricity. The last Russian of the old school who made Paris the scene of his exploits was M. Dimitrl D., whose fame was chiefly ac quired by bis marvelous capacity for drinking champagne. In gratitude to the bottles out of which had come the chief enjoyment of his life, he collected the lead papers with which the ctvks of champagne bottles are covered, and out of those which he and his friends had consumed a lead coffin was made in which the Russian was carried to hi grave. Pall Mall Gazette. , A SILLY PROPOSITION. An EnglLh Marriage-Reformer Strike! Wrong; Lead. The suggestion of a marriage reformer in England that the marriageable age of both sexes be restricted to twenty-five years or less has created a sensation and Las started a discussion that bids fair to rival the contention over Mrs. Mona Caird's question, "Ismarriage a failure?" It should be stated that the proposition is made in good faith, and also that its author is a married mqm himself. Just wby this reformer advances a theory which he must have known be forehand was sure to be condemned on all sides does not appear. Perhaps he is seeking notoriety, or possibly thinks, like many other apostles of reform, that he has found a truth and is willing to sow seed amidst difficulties which shall bear fruit generations to come, when his present appellation of crank will be changed to that of martyr. But the discussion is going on in Eu gland with great earnestness, if that be called a discussion which Is argued on one side only. It is quite interesting to see how the nation rises in arms against any restrictions being placed upon marriage. Bachelors hopelessly wedded to celibacy denounce the plan with the ardor of a youth about to lead his bride to the altar. They don't want to get married, would die of apoplexy at such a prospect, but like true Britons they decline to give up any liberty, even if it is useless to them. The fair sex, of course, is justly exct ted over the proposal, and those whose chances of entering the married state are least are loudest in denouncing it. One might suppose that the sex which suffers most from ill-assorted marriages might look with some favor on a scheme devised to lessen the evils arising out of the matrimonial state, but this is not the case. The only change that they want is that the deceased wife's sister bill become a law. There is no likelihood of any such restrictive legislation being passed. The marriage reformer has struck the wrong lead. A law requiring every one to be married before attaining twenty-five years would be much more popular, Human experience has shown that al legislation of this kind has been at tended with the worst possible results, Marriage, the most important step of every person's life, is beyond legislative control, and although the world can fur nish many examples of ill-assorted mar riages, it can point with grea t satisfao' lion- to STleiaci mat mosio'i tnem result as happily as if, according to the proverb they had been made in heaven. Phila delphia Inquirer. Two Incident. Which Furnlah Considerable tf Food for Thonght. A few davs ago a party of some five or six school-boys, on their way home, stopped In front of the homo of one of their number. The conversation went from one study to another until it reached the subject of algobra; here It stopped; one of the boys declared himself unable to perform a difficult problem in quadratics which had been assigned to him. His companions tried to help him, but after all hands had failed It was given up as a bad job. An old and besotted-looking individual who was shoveling coaJ a few doors, away had boon watching the boys for some time with a look of amusement on his grimy face. After each one had tried and failed, he slowly laid down his shovel, picked up a piece of coal, and, walking quietly up to the boys, request ed permission to look at the problem. After a good deal of laughing it wa3 shown to him, and without saying a word he quietly set to work, and in a few moments had correctly completed the example, writing it out on the pave ment with the bit of coal. The boys looked on In wonderment and could hardly believe their eyes, but were not slow to take advantage of the stjte of affairs, and In a few moments the work on the sidewalk had been transferred to paper. The coal heaver In the meantime hac resumed his work, which was soon com pleted, and the last seen of him he was disappearing in the side door of a saloon. On another occasion a party ot lour men and one woman were seated in the parlor of a hotel not far from this city. Adjoining the parlor was a bar-room. Leaning against the bar, leisurely ttrinkr Ing, were several countrymen. At one of the tables sat a tramp half asleep. His arm was curled up, forming a support for his shaggy head, which was covered with a tattered slouch hat of ancient manufacture. Suddenly, through the half open door, there came the sound of music; the loungers stopped drinking for a moment but almost immediately re sumed their occupation. Nobody noticed the tramp. At the first sound he had raised his head trotn the table, and his eyes seemed glued to the door through which the music ime. As it proceeded he arose and tottered toward it but just ' as he entered the room the musio stopped. All eyes turned on the tramp, who was making straight for the piano, which he reached a moment later. Lightly running his dirty fingers over the keys, suddenly he began to play Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." For nearly half an hour the tramp sat thus, playing nothing but the choicest clas sical music, with a touch and execution that was itself a marveL The listeners sat astonished and in silence that was not broken until the tramp, rising from the piano, took his hat, and, going through the bar-room to the door, dis appeared down the muddy road. N. Y. Sun. VENTILATION IN WINTER. The Icelandio IMan Used by Soma Amer ican Housekeepers. Some house-mothers complain of a large increase of headache as soon aa the house is shut up and the fires lighted for winter. One reason is that they pursue the Icelandic plan of ventilation. A gentleman spending a night in an Icelandic house, slept in a room with a number of Icelanders. During the night he awoke up almost suffocated for a breath of air. He awakened his host and asked if some air could not be ob tained. The man reluctantly arose, and going to a keyhole in the side of the house, pulled out a cork and held It Inhla nana a minute or two, then with a shiver, he put It back and pounded it down, say. Ing they should "all freeze to death," and returned to his pillow. A warm house is an excellent thing in wintev So are warm sleeping rooms, despite the old prejudice 6ome still hold against them. There is nothing health giving in children shivering half the night In cold beds trying to get warm. Many a delicate little one has gone to Its grave by such a hardening process. No doubt one great cause for the in creased longevity of the race in our land, is because of the warmer houses in win ter. My children have slept in well warmed rooms all their lives, and are never under the doctor's care; often fox a half dozen years at a time never have to consult one, an uncommon thing among village children of my acquaint ance. Depend upon it there is a fallacy In this theorg of toughening children, and harden"? their constitutions by ex posure to cold. Dr. William Hall says he "would as soon think of improving a new hat by banking ' it around." The only way to harden the constitution is by taking good care of it. VVoll-warmed sleeping rooms in win ter are a blessing, indeed, and a stove in an upper hall cau often secure this. But the rooms should also ue weU aired Borne time during the day, and all the blessed sunshine of the short winter day letia somewhere. Pailor and Kitchen.
