"When it hna neen derided at a aol enm powwow thnt any pnrtirulur old mini ia to die, instructions are Riven to a number of yonng luen to take mens area to pet rid of him inituediiitely. Among tho eieratinnera are alwaya the anna of the condemned man. The day after aentenee hna been pawed these ex- ecationors call on the veteran, attack him with atoiiea and apeara and drive him into tho wildemeaa. There they leave him to hi fate. A few duya later they return and collect a few well gnawed dpums, which they bring back with fitting ceremonies. "Among nil the warrlori belonging to a tribe with which I made a long so journ, none had a more glorioua record tbau Mixa-Miss. But Miaa-Miaa WHa get ting old. Ill eye were dim, hia hauda were alow, and rarely did he bring homo a fat buck. Furthermore, food Wo scarce, and Miaa-Miaa retained an excellent appetite. One morning Miss MUs got orders to be prepared to receive the ueit day a delegation of youug brave led by bia two stalwart on. "But Mian-Miss, though he had as sisted iu many inch ceremonials in hia . day, had not yet oome to eousider him self old and useless. He was very angry. Just as Miaa-Mis had done reviling the Ingratitude of the youug a boy rushed in to aay that a huge grizzly was feed ing a short distance from the camp. Hera waa the veteran's chance. All the travel were away at the hunt Children and squaws and Mins-Mlsa were the sole ocoupauts of the camp. He knew that to faoe a grizzly single banded waa certain death, but it was the death of a man. So Miss-Miss armed himself with bia spear and tomahawk aud want forth to seek the bear. "He bad not far to go. Within a few hundred yard of the camp he espied the largest aud leanest bear he bad seen for years, making a scanty meal off dried roots. Crawling up as close as he could, ha hurled his spear. The weapon ' struck tho bear in the flank. At he had calculated, the wound bad no further effect than to infuriate the brute and turn its attoutinu upon him. Miss-Miss took his stand with his back to a tree, grasped his little tomahawk firmly and awaited death. "Now, bad it been an ordinary little black bear tho peril of Miss-Miss woald bave been small. A black bear would have risen on its bind logs when it came to close qnnrtetn, aud leaving ita chest quite unprotected, tried to insert ita paws betweou the man and the tree in order to hug bim to death. All Miss Miss would bave had to do wonld have beeu to wait until it came within arm 'a length aud plnngo hia bunting knife in- to ita chest. One thrust would bave been sufficient. But a grizzly ia differ ent. It strikes with its mighty oluws. Miss-Miss awaited the onset When the bear came to close quarters, it rose on its bind legs and made a migaRy, sweep lug blow at his body. Setting bia teeth, Miss-Misa struck at ita bead with hia tomahawk. Tho weapon waa dashed from bia grasp aud be waa hurled to tba grouud, but, much to hia surprise, uninjured. Instead of tba sharp olaws in his side he had felt mighty buffet s it from a huge boxing glove. Miss Miss scrambled to bia feet The next glanoo explained matters. Like himself, ' tba bear waa veteran. It bad lost ita clawa long since. Miss-Miss dodged round and round bia tree and from one tree to another. Tho bear, whose sight waa dint with age, aimed blow after blow, with no other effect than that of broiling its paw against the trunks. The fight went on, aud Miss-Miss1 Viengtb was giving way, when through an opening in the forest he espied the blaze of the canipflrai close at band. The bear saw it, too, and with a grunt of disgust aud disappointment turned round aud trotted back into the depths of the forest to resume ita meal. "Misi-MiM hastened back to the " camp aud called the oldeat of the boys together, "lake your lassoes,' be cried, tond wa will capture a grizzly alive. ' Bo out they went When the party ar rived within range, Miss-Misa whistled. Tba bear raised its bead and the boys cast their lassoes. One noose fell over the brute s neck. "When the braves returned in the tvtniug, prepared to chase Miss-MiBs into the wilderness, tbey found a huge, roaring grizzly tethered in the middle of the camp. No one of the tribe ever had done such a deed. They oonoluded the Great (Spirit bud willed that Miss- ' Misa should live, and Miss-Miss is alive today and in, high honor with the tribe.

Raibalsalaf ParfaaM, Myrrh, which Was fabulously suppoa-. d to be the tears of Myrrha, who was turned Into a shrub, wan a plant of hand'ome appearance, with sprending, ferulike folingn and large umbels of white flowers. It waa found principally in Arabia and Abyasinia. In early times the perfume, distilled from it was great ly in requisition for embalming. Herodotus gives a detailed account of the ancient mode of embalming, which is perhaps moro instructive than pleas ing. After the body had undergone much preparation, which, to spare your feelings, I will not deacribn, it waa filled with powdered myrrh, cassia and other perfumes. It was then steeped in na tron, a atrong solution of soda, for 70 days. After this it was wrapped In handa of flue perfumed linen, smeared with aromatic gnma Not only people were thns embalmed, bnt the eroeotllles of Lake Morris, which, after their mnnimlflcation, were decorated with ornaments and jewels and laid in one of the subterranean passages, of the great labyrinth with much pomp and display The sacred rat, ichneumon and other cherished ant mats devoutly worshiped by the Kgyp tians were embalmed with scrupulous and fanatical care On days special to the memory of the dead the mummies were newly sprinkled with perfume, In cense waa offered before them and their heads anointed with fresh oil in tho same spirit as we lay new blooms upon the graves of our dead.

She do- scribes it in her "Letters From Constan tinople:" "The green enameled and richly gilded barouche comes in sight, drawn by two glorious black horses covered with golden harness, driven by a man in bright blue and gold livery, and on each aide the grooms in blue and gold and every man in sight, naval, mill tary, civil, master or servant, in the all pervading but all becoming fez. "In the carriage sita a small yet stately man, in a simple, cloth military overcoat, with no order or decoration of any sort, only his curved sword and a fox like the rest His large hooked nose proclaims his Armenian mother His piercing eyes are raised to our window as he pnsHes, bnt his face is still aud Immovable, and he salutes no one. though his whole person has a swaying motion, so faiut that it may only be caused by the swaying movement of the caringe Opposite his imperial majesty sits Osman Obozi, the hero of Plevna, almost his only intimate friend, whom ha trnsts implicitly. " Mother Ooom. The most popular children's book ever written waa "Mother Goose's Melodies. " Mra Goose, or "Mother Goose, "as she waa familiarly called. was the mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, a Boston printer, early in the last cen tury When his first child waa born, hia mother-in-law devoted all her at tention to the baby, and, it is said, greatly annoyed Fleet by ber persistent and not particularly musical chanting of the old English ditties she had heard in ber childhood. The idea occurred to Fleet of writing down there songs and publishing them in book form. The oldest extant copy bears the data of 1719. The price marked on the title page waa "two coppera " Tbia account of the origin of "Mother Goose" ia dis credited by some critics, who declare that in IH97 Perranlt published "Contea de ma Mere 1'Oye, " or "Stories of Mother Goose." The name "Mother Goose" was familiar in Frenoh folk lore, being need by writers of thia lit erature over a century before the time of Perrnult The Blank Maria. In Boston's early daya a negress named Maria Lee kept a sailors' board ing house near tbe water front She was a woman of gigantic aize and pro digious strength aud waa of great as sistance to the autboritiea in keeping the peace. When an unusually trouble some fellow waa on tbe way to the lockup, Black Maria, as Maria Lee waa called, would coma to the assistance of tba policeman, and her services were in such requisition for this purpose that her name waa associated with almost every arrest made. Black Maria often carried a prisoner to the lookup on her ahonlder, and when the prison vau waa instituted for the purpose of carrying prisoners it nat urally enough waa styled tba Black Maria.
