A Montana man lias just completed

The Chicago Herald has discovered

The Chinese doctor's lot is not
wholly a happy one, the Courier-Jour

lined a year's salary.
We have an idea that the United
States is a great place, with its 60,-
000,000 people, observes the Detroit
Free Press, but there are 800,000,-
000 people in Asia, and more than
200,000,000 in Africa. The scientific
estimate is that there are 1,450,000,-
000 people 'on'the earth, of whom not
more than .">00,000,000 wear clothing

One of Boston's pleasant,est small
charities i,s the furnishing of street car
tickets in summer to poor invalids for
•rides in the suburbs of that city, but
it is now asserted by the conductors
that very many of these tickets are
misused, being tendered to them by
persons who not only are not ill, but
are, from their dress and appearance,
abundantly able to pay their own
fares.
M. Francisque Sarcey, the French
dramatic critic, announces himself as
a convert to vegetarianism. He has
written a letter to a Paris paper de
scribing his experiences, in which he
says that he is only a "moderate" veg
etarian—that is, he eschews only meat
nud.admit*? eggs, butter and cheese,
milk and fu-h to his lvgimen. He finds
that he is in much more vigorous
health and in better working condi
tion than before. The first week, he
says, is rather hard to bear, but the
benefit is soon felt thereafter.

I "You know, Chris," said she, lower
ing her voice, "that Peggy in getting
stiffer and more rheumatic every day,
and we must do something to help her.
Mamma knows nothing about the
housework ; and, besides, she. is far too
delicate to come down here !"
"I prefer some other way of occupy
ing my time," said Christine, super
ciliously.
"Yea, but what?"
Rosamond had reached down the
hammer, and was now balaucing the
broad end of a smoothing-iron in her
lop, preparatory to the operation of
cracking.
"We have been educated for ladies,"
said Christine, "and not cooks!"
"Are the two incompatible, Chris?"
"And I am fully resolved one day
to be an artist. A laudscapist, to im
mortalize just such scenes as that!"
pointing with slim, taper fingers to
ward the burning glow in the west.
"Yes, but in the meantime?" dryly
observed Rosamond. "We must live,
and we must eat. And really I've
made rather a good thing <>f those
Brahma chickens, at thirty-five cents
a pound, while your picture of 'Wynd
Mill in a Thunderstorm' still hangs in
the bookseller's window, and not a
soul has so much as asked its price. "
Christine colored again.
"I prefer t<> retain my position in
society as a lady !" said she, with some
emphasis.
"But we have no society."
"We are asked to the Thanksgiving
party at Bramblethorpe!" exultantly
retorted Christine.
"We can't go!" averred Rosamond.
"Why can't we go?"
"Nothing to wear," Rosamond suc
cinctly answered, giving a sharp, sud
den tap of the hammer to a plump nut
on the edge of the llatiron.
"How do you know that?"
Rosamond li f, ed her eyes in sur
prise, and Chi tine went hurriedly
on :
"There i?ns i traveling salesman
here this afternoon with some lovely
pink cashmero, at little more than half
price. Mamma thought it was a bar
gain, and aud )>iuk is my color, you
i Know, MO I bought o drew."
Rosamond's eyes were still lived o;i
j Christine's face.
"And how did you pay for it'-'
asked site.
! "I took the money from the Jiidet
cabinet driiwer. There was enough."
i . "My chicken money!" cxclaiun I
Rosamond, reproachfully.
"Oh, I knew you wouldn't mind!
said Christine, nonchalantly. "I cu-i
easily pay you lawk when my picture
is sold, and I did want togo to Brain
blethorpe so lunch, and how could I
go without a decent dress?"
"IMil voil ever consider how I was
to buy my dress?" slowly utterel
ltoKaiuoud.
"Oh, you're the younger si-t r. you
know, and von can wear anything.
Hesides, it only one of lis IS togo, on

Mrs. Edgeley, won't you? It ain't
none of your lard-and-molassesy bak
er's stuff, that I cau tell you!"
"Never tasted anything so delicious
in my life," said Mrs. Edgeley, nib
bling away at the cake with teeth that
were still as white and perfect as when
she was sixteen. "You don't mean to
say, Peggy, that you made them?"
"I, ma'm? Not II" protested
Peggy. "Not. but what I call myself
as good a hand at cake as most folks,
but I'm free to confess I hain't the
light touch anil the easy knack to stir
up a batch like this. It's our Miss
Rosamond that, made 'ein, Mrs. Edge
ley, and I'm proud to say it, that I
am!"
Mrs. Edgeley's spectacled eyes grew
big and round. She came a step or
two nearer.
"Peggy," said she, in a mysterious
whisper, "these are just what we want
for our Thanksgiving party. Aurilla
isn't much of a calculator, and I'm
afraid we're going to run short on
cake. Would yon sell me this batch?
And would the young ladv bake mo
another—as a very special favor?" she
added, insinuatingly.
Peggy tossed her head.
"We don't buy nor sell our cake,"
said she. But you're welcome to it,
Mrs. Edgeley, and I'm sure my young
lady will be very pleased to accommo
date you."
"Humph! humph!" commented
Mrs. Edgeley. "Much obliged, I'm
sure! I called in about that setting
of Muscovy duck eggs, but I'll just
take this baking of nut cakes instead.
It's just exactly tlio sort of thing one
wants for a Thanksgiving party.
There's something homelike and home
made about it. And 1 can have the
rest day after to-morrow?"
After Mrs. Edgeley had hobbled
away on her gold-headed cane, Peggy
found a crisp, clean five-dollar bill
lying on the table.
She eyed it shrewdly.
"It's no more than they're worth,"
said she.
And she pocketed the bill.
"Yes, Miss Rosy, I gin 'em every
one away," said Peggy, craftily, "to a
i poor old creetur, lame and almost :

Sum's fiddle and Georgia Dick's cornet
proclaimed the opening dnnce on that
mcrrv Thanksgiving Eve, "if Bosa
moiidCollitigwood isn't here, my cake's
all dough."
"It's ti matter of cake, any way,"
said Fernanda Edgeley, satirically;
and there was a general giggle." "And
the bine-eyed sister is here. Why
can't you bo contented with that?"
"Because 1 like Bosy the best," said
.Tack, with delightful frankness.
"Thanksgiving isn't Thauksgiving if
Bosy isn't here, and I'll toll you what,
I mean togo after her!" And he
went.
One solitary light shone in the win
dows of the old stone house—the win
dows of Bosamond's room, where tin'
poor little girl waa crying her heait

All of a sudden u fearful fuco.glared

stay and spenn the evening with you!"
"Do take that horrible jack-o'-lan

all this time the pumpkin features and
the limning eyes were flattened against
her window-bliud.
"Not until I get an answer," said
•lack, the indomitable.
"Go away !" said Rosamond.
"I wou't!" slid Jack,

112 ' The long liue of
y* J Colored soldiers presents n
unique and picturesque ap
pearance. The straight-cut regular
army j\ckct, trousers that are a eoru
pr online between the native garment
and the "garments of the line," met at
the kueo by buckskin leggings ; on the
head a cloth of red muslin or calieo in
a band and tied tightly behind, leav
ing the crown of raven hair completely
exposed. This is the Apache soldier
of the United States regular ivriuy on
duty, says an Arizona correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Indian troops of the Depart
ment of Arizona are recruited solely
from the various tribes of the Apache
Nation, and are iu nowise similar to
the Indiau police force of the Sioux or
other Indian tribes. They are regu
larly enlisted for the full period of
service, receive full pay, and are held
strictly amenable to military disci
pline. Their uniforms vary slightly
from those ot the other troops, re
sembling a sort of Zouave equipment,
a concession which the department
found it necessary to make in order to
satisfy some whims of the aboriginal
mind. The Indian is essentially nar
row-minded and superstitions. Matters
of dress which may be exceedingly triv
ial iu importance have to him some
times an immense significance.
The Apache problem has been a
thorn iu the side to the commanders
of the Department of Arizona. There
are ten large tribes in the Territory,
making nu aggregate of some 40,00(1
persons. Of all these, the Apaches
alone have given the Government any
trouble withiu the past quarter of a
century. They occupy a reservation
in the heart of the Territory larger
than the combined States of Massachu
setts, Hhode Island, Connecticut and
Delaware ; and their whole tribal pop
ulation numbers less than 5000. There
has not been a year since the white oc
cupation that some Apache renegade
was not off the reservation, making
life interesting for some one, and a
very few years have passed in which
the Government has not been called
upon to quell a general outbreak. .s. _
With the end of the Geronimo cam-'
paign the authorities adopted a new
policy townr/I these implacables and
the formation oi the Indian auxilsries
is a part of the new programme.
Gradually the more lawless chiefs have
been vanquished until now there is
hardly a corporal's guard of tho old
warriors to be found in all the tribes
which Comprise the Apache Nation.
I'hen supplementary proceedings were
begau by enlisting all the able-bodied
vonng bucks between the ages of six
teen and thirty into regular companies.
I'nder these conditions with all tho
old men deported and all the young
sters under the eyes of the regular
soldiers —it is hoped that the solution
of the Apache trouble is not fur dis
tant.
While the question se tns iu a fair
wnv to be settled with regard tt> the
Indian, the new ileal does not give
\ universal satisfaction in army circles.
The soldiers do not take kindly to the
, change. At Fort Huachucrv all in
i cipient mutiny was raised on the
arrival of the red-skinned troopers,
flegulars who have been for years light
ing the wily Apache from behind
rocks cMiniot readily accustom them
selves to the idea of messing and
sharing quartern with their hereditary
foe. Tin- otllcers, as a rule, are not
verv enthusiastic ovrr the innovation
either. Their general opinion is that
tin 1 novelty will soon wear ofl with the
n -nuts, and that eventually they will
either desert, singly or en masse, or
elae at best, when their term of ser
vice expire* they will refuse re-enlist
incut and return home with their
newly acquired know ledge aud dit
cipliui' to become more troublesome
than i vcr.
\* to the merits of the Apache as a
soldier hi' doesu't seem t > have many.

Again the distant chimes so low,
Peal forth the hour in measures slow,

As in tho long ago.

And moan and weep beside thy grave.
