There is an especial value and pleas- ire, said the lecturer, in the compan- ons whom we find upon our book­ elves. They come when we want hem; tliev never stay too long; they lever tell old stories, are never dull or Iresome, and never bore us with untime- y visits or irksome companionship. Vliere could wo find a more noble onipanv than the worthies of ancient nd modern 1 teraturc? They come in olitude, but they never rob us of its n-eets. They are friends who never omo without solicitation. Not only Bust we invite a book, but we must in- ite it in a friendly way if we would avo a true friend in it. Reading, says ¡aeon, makes a full man. Some books re to be tasted, some to be swallowed, nd some to bo digested. The latter lust b> taken deliberately and assimi- Itcd thoroughly if we would receive ie full benefit of them. Speaking of novels, the lecturer said, e enjoyed them when they were good. 1 the English school of fiction was to B found a great deal more than the lore story. From the time of the irliest romance of chivalric days down i the last piece of realistic fiction the nglish novel was a picture of the times which it was written and the state of iciety in the age in which the laractcrs moved. From the old ro- lances wero obtained glimpses of the ivs of chivalry. Smollett and Field- ig told of the stato of English icicty in the eighteenth cen- iry, anil so on down to the present iy. In the pages of Scott were por- ayed the pomp of the tourney the isliing cf tho lances, the waving of inners and the clash of mail-clad war- ors in the lists. The battlements of enilworth rose before the reader as he Hight glimpses of Scottish life a bun- eii years ago. Plutarch showed to the llighted vision the great leaders of Icient times.

Th i lecturer drew a ird picture of his library, noting the sts of great men that adorned the ills, and quoting of their works. The arm of such eomp.m onship. lie said, is last,'ng; it exc -cded the chat of the lbs. the gossip of the sociable or the cursive talk of the chance acquaint- pe.

How Bucks Mild Squaws Enjoy Life at Un­ cle Saui's Expense. For some months a lot of women and children, captured by Captains Crawford and Davis, have partaken of the hospitality of a log cabin adjoining the guard-house, diluted with sufficient freedom. The youngsters romped out­ side at will and the squaws adorned the porch of the guard-house daily. They were a rather industrious set and turned many a proper peso by weaving handsome baskets of bear-grass in the Moqui style, making moccasins for the soldiers and constructing toy models of their unique cradles. They were also given some light v.-ork to do around the post, which helped to keep them healthy and happy. Among these cap­ tives were several children of Natchez, two of Geronimo’s wives and a son and daughter of the same redoubtable renegade. When Lieutenant Faison arrived with his fifty-eight prisoners from the Sonora surrender the guard­ house captives were led out to join them. It was a happy reunion. Chief Chihuahua was especially de­ lighted to meet again his wife and three children. The whole band went down to a little dry arroyo, three- fourths of a mile from the post, and camped amid the sand and rocks. Fire-wood and rations were hauled out to them and they quickly made them­ selves comfortable. For the first day the improvements comprised only a grubbing of cacti and the building of semi-circular wind-breaks with bushes, etc. But soon the patient squaws had achieved a village. The tall stalks of the century plant were peaked over the spaces inclosed by wind-breaks, and around these rude tent-poles were stretched blankets or numerous rods of unbleached muslin. These roofs were, on an average, about three and one- half feet from the ground. The gen­ eral effect of each tent reminded one of such an umbrella as our friend lends us on a rainy day. They were effective, however, in keeping off the wind and sun—which is where they overmatched the umbrella. While the squaws trudged about in these domestic pursuits, the bucks were equally industrious—in gambling. They squatted around blankets spread in the sand, and deftly dealt poonkan (.he Mexican monte), slapping down their plavs with the pecnliar vehemence which you may see as well in a saloon as in an Apache camp. They gambled for money, for cartridges, for blankets and for ponies. Their chips were sometimes coffee beans, sometimes cartridges, and often neat slivers of bear grass, cleverly bundled. A fair share of the day, however, they rested from gambling to personal adornment. Down UDder some wind-wardin; bush you would stumble upon an athletic warrior, carefully painting his face in crimson rings and stripes, or, mayhap, mollifying his great crop of hair with a fist-size chunk of mutton tallow—base barbarian, who has not yet learned the delicacy of civilized refinement in rouge and perfumed lard! The Chiricahuas are a straight, ath­ letic, well-sized tribe, with intelligent features, supple bodies and noticeably small bands and feet. The females, big and little, wear simple print dresses, which reach to their ankles. Tho Mother Hubbard style of architecture seems not unpopular among the old women, although eschewed by the young. The rest of the wardrobe com­ prises high-shanked buckskin mocca­ sins, a bright headkerchief and brace­ lets of silver, brass, tin-can and beads, with similarly constituted necklaces and ear-rings. For a head-dress the Apache rolls a big bandanna to a three-inch band and binds it around his bulging cranium from stem to stern. In prosperity ho decks this band with big disks of silver. Around his waist he wears one, two or three webbing belts, full of Uncle Sam’s copper cartridges of 45-70 de­ nomination. Dependent from the sides are his buckskin tobacco-pouch, an en­ cased awl for moccasin mending and a Sheffield butcher-knife in a sheath which swallows all but the very tip of the handle. He further sports ear­ rings—old Nanay had two heavy watch-chains fastened to his—from two to a dozen necklaces of big beads, a small circular mirror and rings and braceletstill you can't rest. One young buck, of whom I took the census, had thirteen rings on his left hand, eleven on his right and a dozen bracelets, (beads, brass and silver) on either wrist. He was the king dude of the whole outfit and very little force in war. The seventy-seven captured hostiles were shipped as prisoners of war to Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Fla.—Fori Bowie (A. T.) Cor.
