THE OTHER STORY.
Bta-eelntlon Made by the Discovery of
the. Indian Picture of Caster's
Massacre.
In Ainslee's Magazine is a very inter
esting account of some recent discov
ered picture writing by an Indian who
took part in the celebrated Custer mas
nacre. The pictures are noticeable for
being the work of a Sioux chief who
was a prominent actor in the conflict. .
The original pictures measured very
early two feet at each dimension. The ,
first of the two represents the Sioux ,
...... ukcv mm turner unu ins i
men.
ine prostrate forms of white
men are scattered across the base of
the drawing. In the right upper cor
ner a soldier is seen falling from his
horse to the ground. Directly under
aeath the characteristic fighting pos
ture of the Indian on horseback is de
picted. ,
Notable features in the picture are
the bugles which are seen toward the
left lower corner. Only a mind of com
prehensive power could recall such
petty details in a scene of such excite
ment and carnage.
The other Illustration pictures the
dead Sioux after the battle. The differ
entiation of the figures in their apparel
nd adornment is not without signifi
cance. It is to be supposed that by this
means an intelligent Sioux could fix the
Identity of the slain. The weapons are
placed just beyond the grasp of the sev
eral figures. It Is not an inadequate ex
pression of the powerlessness of the
dead.
Creator of Bnslnnd's Sea Power.
Under Cromwell Kngland for the first
time felt the power of a strong navy to
build up a great nation. It is true that
Queen Klizubeth had repelled and de
stroyed the Spanish fleet; but slio as
sembled her Bhlps only to resist inva
sion, and her important maneuvers
were on the defensive. Cromwell built
the first fleet that Kngland had yet
seen created for the purpose of crush
ing her enemies and striking down the
oppressors of free religion. Spain, still
aiming at universal empire, received
her first 'staggering blow when Crom

long afterwards, that he destroyed the
Dalancc of power in Europe. Hut Crom
well cared nothing for political maxims
when they stood in the pathway of t hut
human liberty of which he was the
champion. Holland sent out her fleets
more terrible than the old Spanish ar
mada; but Cromwell's generals, noting

hand, beat the Hutch admirals and sent
llieir ships to the bottom.

The goal of the battleship Iowa suc
cumbed to the temptations of shor
leave early one morning recently, and
was locked up at the city prison on the
thnrge of "drunk and disorderly," aj t
the Sun Francisco Chronicle.
In company with three or four jack
ies from the Iowa the gout had been
attending a wake at the undertaking
establishment of Carew & Fiigliiih, nl
Van Ness avenue and 0;ik street. In
the course of the evening his conduct
became too boisterous even for a wake.
Officer S. Kain made the arrest, and
one of the Iowa jnckies who were the
companions of the goat's revelry went
part way to the station with his dis
graced friend, and then at thought of
the fun they were all having back at
the wake he said to the goat: "Hill,
old man, 1 hope you won't think hard
of me If I go back. You're in good
hands. Just go along, and I'll join you
after a bit."
Thus it happened that the convivial
mascot of the warship, stumhlingalong
and bleating occasionally some very
unmusical notes, deserted by his mess
mates in time of heavy weather, was,
In the words of the mariner, towed into
port with his propeller shaft damaged.
After he woke up he wns turned over
to his friends and taken aboard. . I
Hill's behavior at the woke Is de- '
scribed as having been something re- '
rnarkablo. The services In memory of
the dead had lasted through the even--'

At that hour it was neccssnry
to summon the police to Insure the

To one spot in North Wales many an
American pilgrim wends his way. This
is Wrexham, in whose beautiful church
lie the bones of Klihu Yale, who gaTe
both name and benefactions to our hon
ored university. On his tombstone are
cut these concise lines:

It Is from this region, says the
New York Tribune, that Klihu Yale's
Pilgrim progenitor went forth to
New Kngland, and Y'ales still live at
Plasyn-Yiile and worship In the tran
sept known as the Yale chapel in the
uucient little church of Hryn Kglwys,
near Y rexlinm.
In the body of the church a small con

have often thought what amazement
und what ttrunge emotions would stir

The Merchants' association of San
Francisco, says the Popular Science
Monthly, has been trying the experi
ment of sprinkling u street with sea
wuter, and finds that such water binds
tlio dirt together between the paving
stones, so that when it Is dry no looses
dust Is formed to be raised by the wind;
thut sea water does not dry so quickly
as fresh water, bo that it has been
claimed when salt water has been used
that one load of it is equal to three
loads of fresh water. The salt water
which is deposited on the street ab
sorbs moisture from the ulr during the
night, whereby the street Is thoroughly
moist during the early morning .and
has the appearance of being freshly

A Vii( Woman Who Got a Tosltloa,
While the Other Girl I Still
I nemplorrd.
There were two young women sing
ers who Came to New York not long
ago to continue their musical educa
tions and also to get church positions
to support themselves and pay for their
lessons, says the New Y'ork Times. The
absolute necessity of enterprise and dc
terminatioa in at least making an ef
fort to open every1 possible door in
New Y'ork is to be seen in the fortunes
of the two. Hoth were equally anxious
for positions and equally in need oi
them. They were equally attractive
girls and equally ladylike, but the one
felt that her efforts must be made only
through certain conventional channels
nid the other mode an application any
where she thought There was a possi
bility of a position, no matter how much
it might be above what she felt she
could do or below what she hoped to
do. Wherever there was a chance of a
hinger being needed she presented
herself, and sung, always with incrcos
ing confidence. If she went to the
organist of a church and heard through
him that a certain man in the congrega
tion was the one upon whose vote a
singer came or went she immediately
presented herself to the man who would
be the one person to help her to accom
plish her purpose. She was always
ladylike, but she developed that quality
called "push." She knew that she must
have a position to stay in New Y'ork
and she got one. Now she is connect
ed with one of the largest churches,
while the other girl, who has been in
the city a longer time, is still waiting
for an opportunity. There may be dif
ferences of character which present ob
stacles, but with the great competition
in New Y'ork the girl who makes herself
heard is the one who succeeds.

mother, says the Cleveland 1'liiin Heal
er. A good deul of this slang he learns
in the street and some of it he gets from
a wicked uncle.
The other day, while out with his
sled, he had a bad tumble on the Ice
nn1 bruisel his side quite severely. He
isn,t to biK u bo-v to be Pptu'l by
mamma, and he came hustling into the
house to get her help and comfort.
He bounced into the parlor, and there
sat a kindly-fuced gentleman, with big
dark eyes and a curling beard, waiting
to see the boy's mother.
This is the way the boy described
what followed:
"I knew who it was right away,
mamma, and I said to him: 'Ain't you
th new Oospel scout to our church?'
An' he kind o' smiled an' said: 'You've
guessed it, my boy. I'm the new ser
mon sharp at the brimstone shack
around the corner.' Say, mamma, he
beats Uncle George clean out o' sight.
Uncle George doesn't know no slang
as good as that. Then he saw mo

mamma, he just unbuttoned my jacket

IMs-
Loul3 Wain, the famous cat painter,
has found out a secret. If u woman pos
sesses a cat und the cnt, after being con
stantly with her, be suddenly removed
into a wider society, the characteristics
of its mistress in her most intimate
life will be developed in the creature.
Miys the Philadelphia Times. 1M
madame be snirfpy, her pet will scratch
und swear; if Bulky, pussy will follow
suit. The test is an unfailing one.
Awful are the possibilities which this
unsuspecting gentleman has let loose
upon us! No longer w ill it be possible
to hide our secret faults under a bland
ora gushing society demeanor. The man
who wishes to test his fair one need
only present her, under semblance of
love, with a baleful gift of a Persian
kitten; then, direfully biding his time,
wait till that fateful "ball of fluff shall
have come to cat's estate, when he will
bribe a maid to abstract the creature
from the safe retreat of a cushiony
boudoir; he will take it to his rooms;
he will tense it and feed it on indigesti
ble viands; and then, when the feline
Isdy very naturally shows resentment,
he will decide that her mistress lias
un undesirable temper, and will prompt
ly break off his engagement.

Tae clock in the Keney Meinoriul
tower at Tunnel square has begun tc
toll the hours, and the tubular cliimet I
which arc connected with 1 lie clock
mark the quarter hours by repeating in
measures of four notes the famous '
"Westminster Chimes.''
The set in the Keuey Tower, says the
Hartford Courant, is made up of five I
tubes which hang In a frame suspended ',
by Manila tarred rope, and are struck j
by hammers operated by clock work. '
The largest of the five tubes is 9 feet !
8 inches in length and 5 inches in diam
eter, weighs 2.to pounds, and is keyed to
A natural. This tube is simply for the
striking of the hour, and has nothing to

music. The next smaller of the tubes
i is four inches shorter and weighs 220
pounds. The key of it is H natural, and
j it is the heaviest of the chimes. The
I other three tubes are: K natural, 7 feet
8 inches, 180 pounds; F sharp, 7 feet,
1G0 pounds, and G sharp, 6 feet 8 Inches,
140 pounds.
The tubeB are of soft brass and arc
drawn in the usual manner by hydraul

the length, the diameter and thickness
of the metal forming the tube. The
tone is soft and melodious, and has a

Some Indication of Character In
the Manner of Handling;
the Weed.
When you see a man grip a cigar be
tween his teeth and hold it fast, careless
of whether it burns or not, you can set
him down as an aggressive, calculat
ing and exacting, not to say canny, in
dividual. If a man smokes a cigar deliberately,
just enough to keep it lighted, and de
lights in taking it from his mouth and
watch the blue smoke from it curl up
ward, lie is likely to' be an easy-going
man, good-natured and honest, says an
exchange.
There is another fellow who smokes
intermittently, takes a puff and then
rests, and fumbles his cigar about.
He is apt to have little decision of char
acter, and to be easily affected by cir
cumstances. A man may be nervous
and fumble his cigar a good bit, and in
this event he is a would-be swell, vaiu
and frivolous.
He invariably tilts his cigar upward,
while a sensible, level-headed fellow
will hold it straight out from his mouth.
When you see a mnn chewing up an
unlightcd cigar, and twisting it about,
he is nervous, but of great tenacity.
A man who cannot keep his cigar
alight has a whole-souled disposition.
He has a lively nature, is a hail-fellow-well-niet,
glib of tongue, and usually
a good story teller.
