BRIGHT INDIAN GIRL. Romantic- lllMorj Wbieli Haw Made \\ nli-tu-\\ tino nn AccoMipliKlied VOUIIK Lail}', Wah-ta-Waso will soon enter Har vard university. She is a full-blood ed daughter of the Pannawabskilc In dian tribe of Maine. The early set tlers found that name too difficult to pronounce and corrupted it into I'enobscot. Wah-ta-Waso's Indian name means "liright Kyes," and she is said to be pretty enough and in telligent enough to b> worthy the name. Like many of her tribe, she lias an English name by which she is generally known in her dealings with the whites, who find it more in keeping with their ideas to eall her Lucy Nicola. She is about 20 years of age. There is a romantic history back of the movement to send Bright Eyes to the Harvard annex. Montague Chamberlain, for many years record er of the Lawrence scientific school of Harvard, has taken the Indian girl under his protection because one of her ancestors spared the life of one of his forefathers. Mr. Cham berlain is an ethnologist who has made a specialty of the Indian tribes of the east. He has studied their histories, their languages and their legends. About the time of the French and Indian war some of the Pannawabs kiks, who had wandered from Maine to the St. Lawrence, joined the In dians under the French and made a raid into English territory, includ ing an attack on Ticondcraga. With the English force was a trader from Boston named Chamberlain, who got into a hand-to-hand conflict with a powerful I'enobscot Indian. In the struggle they clinched, but the red skin was the better wrestler and threw the white. Chamberlain man aged to regain his feet and start on a run, but the Indian overtook him, and. having picked up a club, knocked Chamberlain down before he could use his knife. The strength and courage of the white evidently won the admiration of the Indian, for as he stood over Chamberlain with club in hand the Penobscot said in Eng lish: "I like you. Make you my son. You pood fighter." Chamberlain was accordingly treat ed as a prisoner and was taken to the Indian village of St. Francis, on the St. Lawrence river. While he was permitted to roam freely about the village, the Indians kept a watch ful eye on him, and he knew he was a captive. He learned, however, to like the Indian life and remained three years. Then in a fit of home sickness he decided togo home, but the captor refused to let him depart. Chamberlain had won the hearts of many of the squaws by lending them a helping hand in their drudgery, and some of the maidens of the tribe aided him in escaping under cover of darkness. He afterward became a man of consequence in Boston, and the ethnologist of to-day is one of his descendants. The Penobscot Indians in time re turned to Maine and settled on the island in the Penobscot river, which is still their home. Montag-tie Cham berlain, in the course of his investi gations discovered that Wah-ta-waso "BRIGHT EYES." was descended from the Indian who had taken his ancestor captive at Ticonderoga, and he took it upon himself to give her an opportunity to pain an excellent education. She has had the advantage of common and high schools, and is now preparing to enter the Harvard annex next summer. Mr. Chamberlain has helped a number of the Penobseots togo to Carlisle, and he has built them a library on their island. Bright. Eyes is an accomplished young woman, for she sings well and plays the piano. She is also a pet of a certain eirele of New York so ciety, and has been entertained in that city. On one occasion she made a hit by an address she made dur ing the discussion of the problem of immigration by a woman's club. She said, in effect: "I believe I am the only real Amer ican here, and if anyone in the com pany has reason to complain of the immigration of Europeans I am that one. My forefathers owned the coun try from the St. John's river to (he Connecticut, but the immigrants from Europe, your forefathers, robbed my people of tract after tract, until now we are restrict* d to one small island in the Penobscot river. Even the railroads, which are large ly responsible for our loss, have de prived us of the half-fare rate they used to give the Indians. Fortunate" Iv, my people are happy though poor, but it comes with poor grace that the Americans of to-day should compAnin of the incursions of more poor immi grants from across the sea." Wah-ta-Waso spoke in this strain at some length, and the audience was surprised by her self-possession, her fluency and her command of English. Bright Eyes is no ordinary Indian maiden, and Mr. Chamberlain is con fident she will give a good account of herself after she enters Harvard.— Chicago Times-Herald. CHILD'S HAND ON TREE. Strnn«e Frrnli of Sntnrp Fiinnd In lit Old Virginia (irnvcynril and Carefully Prencrvrd, One of the most curious freaks of nature discovered IS years ago in an old graveyard near Ashland, Va., is now preserved as a mueh-treasured reli ic. A man named Robertson, who was walking through the burying ground THE HAND ON THE TREE. noticed that, raised in the bark of an ancient apple tree, was the exquisitely modeled hand of a child. Roberson cut the growth off the apple tree and took the bark from it. It was seen at a glance that by takinga penknife and making the ends of the fingers to in dicate nails, and also by cutting little notches 011 the fingers at a point where the knuckles would be, the growth would be an exact reproduction of a child's hand. Mr. Robertson did this, and the little piece of wood was re garded as a curio by all who saw it. He sold it to Mr. J. P. Luck, of Ashland, who hasjiad it in his possession ever since. With the exception of the carving at the ends of the fingers and the little notches at the knuckles, the accom panying cut shows the growth exact ly as it was taken from the tree. The lines in the back of the hand are all natural. The shape of the fingers is just as they were when the bark was taken from the growth; the general shape and appearance of the hand have been unchanged, and on the in side are all the lines natural to a hu man hand. The little notch shown in the cut to the side of the hand was a point where Ihe thumb extended, but in taking the bark off the growth, this was acci dentally cut off. The thumb, like the fingers, was accurate in every partic ular. Humor has it that a little child was once buried here, and that not long after the interement an apple tree sprang up. This grew rapidly and near the root of it appeared the hand, which developed by degrees until it be came the size of a child's hand and in its present shape. Superstitious people think there is some connection between the growth of this hand on the apple tree and the life of the child buried alongside of it. The fingers were all shaped exactly like those of a child and have a propor tionate length and size. The palm of the hand is the same and the wrist al most a reproduction in appearance of that of a child. Effective Table Decoration. An effective table decoration may be made in liberty muslin in a pale lemon color or white and gold. Ruck it up into a "center," and at the end opposite the carver form the initial of the host with smilax or ivy. Then take some geraniums and pick out the petals, placing them at intervals on the smilax, to mark out the in itial more plainly. Put a frareework of ivy leaves and geraniums around the "muslin center" and a vase pf geraniums and maiden-hair at each corner. This style can be varied by making the initial of forget-ine-notes with lilies of the valley lightly placed among them, and in this ease a pale green muslin center, with four vases of lightly arranged forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley, should be used. To Relieve lllnck CoNtnme*. The woman who wears a good deal of black can alter her costume con siderably if she has two or three pet ticoats of different colorings. One should be a black and white cheek or spot, and with this she must have some white revers or a white collar stitched and run with black, a white feather or white wings in her mil linery, or perhaps a black and silver toque, with white osprey, and, of course, white gloves. To Clean Soiled Millinery. Milliners clean soiled wings that ac cumulate in their stock by shaking them gently in a box of white corn meal, brushing all the meal out care fully with a fine brush.

If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed a tonic would read and heed the words of these three fair la dies who have spoken right to the point, how many invalids would be prevented and how many wretched lives be made happy. Peruna restores health in a normal way. Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this, way restores the functions of every organ. If it is the stomach that is out of or der, and the digestion impaired, Pe runa quickly makes thing's right byre storing the mucous membrane of tb« stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain i* tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation of blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the di gestive organs, Peruna reaches the spot at once by giving to these mem branes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also lined with mucous membrane which in the female sex is especially liable to derange ments. Peruna is an absolute specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising it. No other remedy has ever received such unqualified praise from such a multitude of women.
