Gorgeous yellow butterflies nnd
brown Kiowa babies nre seldom linked
together In song or story, yet In real
life their wrappings while In the chrys
alis stuto bear a remarkable resem
blance to each other.
The cocoon cradle proper and Its
various modlllcatlons as found among
the different tribes of North American
Indians are constructed from the skins
of animals. And right here we may
pause and trace the origin of another
famous nursery rhyme to the Indian
cocoon cradle, for did not tjie father
ot Ha by limiting go n-uunllng to get a
little rabbit's skin to wrap that myth
ical baby In? All full blood Kiowa
babies are born Into the pho-U-yo-ye,
or rabbit circle, and are taught to
dance in the mysterious circle of rab
bits as soon ns they learn to toddlo,
belonging to the rabbit order of the
Kiowa soldiery.
Hence n rabbit skin would bo a very
appropriate wrapping for a Kiowa
Baby Bunting, though neither large
enough nor strong enough for bis cra
dle. The red deer of the forest, quarry
of the redHklnned hunter, gives of bis
beautiful covering to make the cradle
that Is to swing from the tree top, lit
erally tree tops cut from the cotton
woods and eluiB that fringe the clear
little streams rippling through the
Kiowa reservation and piled high on a
framework of pules to serve as a "sum
mer parlor" In front of bis father's
tepee.
The crude deer hide is carefully
dressed by a tedious and secret process
known only to these Indians, and wben
finished Is as soft and pliant as the
most expensive chamois skin. Then
loving fingers skillfully embroider with
quills beautiful beadwork designs up
on the delicately tinted deerskin. Kio
wa cradles are more ornamental than
those of other tribes, and Kiowa
quaws excel In that marvelous Indian
beadwork now the popular fad of their
paleface sisters. Some of this bead
work embroidery is not only very beau
tiful, but very elaborate. The Sioux
quaws, who alone rival their Kiowa
sisters, oruament the cradles of their
little ones with bands of deerskin, up
on which are wrought in colored beads
gorgeous patterns of men, horses, birds,
flfch and flowers. Instead of a wooden
. framework they substitute a basket
work frame of reeds and sometime
they use seod and grasses instead of
beads.
The Cheyenne, Apache and Coman
che Indians all use cocoon cradles pat
terned after the Kiowa cradles, but
theirs are not ornamented as elabo
rately as those of the Klowas. In
truth, the grim and warlike Comanche
of the plains wastes very little time in
decorating the receptacle' of his off
apring. A stout piece of deerskin, fas
tened to an equally stout wooden frame
and laced up securely with rawhide
thongs, sulllces bis simple need.
The origin of the cocoon cradle itself,
like that of the redskins, seems wrap
ped in mystery, though we might with
reason trace this primitive cradle back
to the Lapps of northern Europe, whose
babies sleep In little hollowed out af
fairs swung down from the lower
limbs of trees. They are lined with,
inoss and luced up, aud in shapo are
exactly- like the primitive Indian co
coon cradle from which the modern
cocoon cradle, beautified and improved,
has boon evolved.
After the beadwork embroidery is
completed the deerskin pouch or bag
. Is fusteued securely upon a strong
board whose two upright handles, pro
jecting uhove the headpiece or hood,
ure strengthened by a crossplece at the
back. These handles are very con
venient when the mother is busy about
bur many tasks; if it be warm weather,
baby is swung from the top of the
brush arbor, his round, brown face
peering smilingly from out its trap
pings of gayly beaded deerskin, bis
bright little eyes blinking at the sun
beams shining through the leafy roof,
or the flumes of the nightly cumpttre
leaping up to mingle with the moon
light. When "trading" nt the agency
uteres, the squaw props the cradle,
"baby and all," against the counter
nnd goes calmly about the Important
business of laying in a supply for her
l'umlly iu their tepee far out on the
reservation.
Mother love fills the heart of a poor
qusw us completely as it does that
of her more fortunate paleface sister,
Her clumsy fingers fashion playthings
of shells, odd shaped bones, carved
wooden boads, bright pieces of tin,
china or glass, which she hangs about
the hood of the cocoon cradle in reach
of the chubby brown fists. Baby soon
learns to ruttle these primitive play
lings gleefully.

A CASE OF LUCK.
flow the Lack of Hlekel Won
Good raring Position.
Little Mrs. Tyler sighed ns the trol
ley car whined past her.
"To think," she mused, "that I Should
have come to this too poor to spend
6 cents for car fare! If 1 could only
get more music scholars! Then Hob
could have the beefsteak nnd the fruit
he needs dear, patient llobcrt!"
Time was when rrcderlcn ! echner s
piano playing had won her many a so
cial triumph, but that was before she
had married the penniless Robert Ty
ler, to begin life anew serosa the con
tinent. Now that he was sick they had
only the pittance her pupils brought
ber.
Today Mrs. Tyler was very tired.
No wonder she had sighed when the
car hud glided past her, and home was
a mile away. Strains of Handel's "Har
monious Blacksmith" drew her Inside
a music store. Music always rested
her. A girl was ploying upon a grand
piano, and several persons stood about.
Mrs. Tyler strolled their way.
One lifter another took a turn at tho
Instrument. The newcomer was too
Interested in the playing to question
Wherefore. Finally a man approached
her.
"It Is your turn next," he said.
She was about to explain his mis
take when the humor of tho situation
appealed to hor, nnd she wns seized
with n desire to carry out the Joke. Ac
cordingly Bhe took ber sent nnd began
Paderewskl's "Love Bong." She did
not know for what she was playing.
but she vaguely felt that It was a test
of some sort, and she threw her soul
Into ber fingers. When she ended there
was a little burst of applause, nnd
"something else" wns called for. Him
responded with Liszt's "Schubert's Ser
enade" and then with Chopin's "Cradlo
Song."
A sheet of music was placed before
ber, and a lady came forward to sing.
If there was one thing in which Mrs.
Tyler excelled It was In accompani
ments, and now she did her best. The
face of the man who had invited ber
to piny wns one brond smile as he In
quired deferentially:
"May I ask whom we have had the
honor of hearing? You have distanced
them all, my dear madam. The place
is easily yours."
Mrs. Tyler looked at blm In bewilder
ment; then she laughed and explained.
He explained too.
She had unwittingly taken part in a
trlnl of applicants for the double posi
tion of accompanist for a singing mas
ter add piano player for the music
hop. A salary was named that left
the little woman nearly dumb with
surprise, so amply It fitted ber present
needs. She wanted to dunce all the
way home. Fatigue was forgotten.
"I'm glad you didn't ride," remarked
Robert Tyler whimsically.
"Oh!" cried his wife, and the ex
clamation was a thanksgiving.

The Family Tree.
A pleasant pastime, literally, for
thpsc who have no more pressing du
ties and wish to get outside their en
vironment at least in thought wilt open
up before her who begins to mount n
family tree. Tracing one's genealogy
may become probably will become a
matter of absorbing amusement and
attention, for It entails a thread gath
ered up here, dropped there, a letter
to write, a book to read, a register to
consult. To the self absorbed, the
despondent, the listless, one may rec
ommend this diversion as certain to
suit even rather morbid conditions of
temperament, and yet as certain to
gently force the mind away from It
self to other persons nnd things In
opening up a wider and wider field of
reflection. Harper's Bazar.
Qnalat Prayers.
The chief of the Leslies Is said to
have prayed before a battle: "Be on

side, aye lay low a bit, an' ye'll see

please ye." An old covenanter, who
ruled his household with a rod of Iron,
is said to have prayed in all sinceri
ty at family worship: "O Lord, hae
a care o' Rob, for he is on the great
deep, an' thou boldest it in the hollow
o' thy hand. An' bae a caro o' Jamie,
for he bae goue io fight the enemies

Care-leas ! Honors.
Pastor Knelpp, the famous discover
er of the "barefoot cure," who was
appointed chamberlain by the pope,
cared little for the honor. He did not
even take the trouble to open the let
ter announcing the appointment and
first learned of tha honor conferred up
on blm by the arrival of a deputation
at the Woerslhofen cloister to congrat
ulate him. He declined to be address

with difficulty that be was persuuded
to leave his retreat to go to Rome to
thank the pope.

As regards the history of conches In

gravings were published representing
him being murdered In his carriage by

This agrees well with the received

the selllshness of a woman. The ad

California, when a woman occupying

opened a window. Admiral Farragut
was 111, nnd the strong draft of wind
which blew directly upon blm chilled
him. Mrs. Fnrragut asked the woman
courteously If she would not kindly
close the window, as It was annoying
to her husband. The woman snapped
out: "No, I won't close the window.
I don't enre If it does annoy him. I am
not going to smother for him." Ad
miral Farragut thus caught a severe
cold, which resulted lu his death. A
few days before the end came he said,

QUAINT SWISS FESTIVAL.
Bow the Rnd of Winter and Advent
of Sprtna Are Celebrated.
Switzerland has long been known at
the land of festivals rich In locaf color,
such us the Venst of the Vines, lu Can
ton Valid, and the Feast of the Cows,
In Cautou Valals. Oiv of the quaintest
of the old Helvetian popular feasts Is
the Zurich annual celebration, known
as the Kechsehiuteii. This curious fete
has ns Its rnlsou d'etre the burning of
a toy snow man In commemoration of
the death of "Winter nnd the birth of
Spring.
The festival begins nt 8 o'clock on
the morning of Sechselauten, when a
procession of gayly nlllred boys and
Itlrls Is formed to escort the snow man
to the great public square, called Stad
thausplaly.. Boys dressed as plerrots
drag the enr on which the portly snow
nan stands along the narrow streets of
old Zurich. These plerrots nre followed
by companies of knights In armor,
members of the various guilds In their
respective picturesque costumes, cow
herders, fishermen nnd clowns, with a
car bearliiv.' the emblematic figure of
Spring In the rear.
This figure of Spring Is greeted with
the cheers of the crowd of onlookers,
who have turned out to make merry
on what to them Is the greatest fete
day of the year. Finally the procession
ends Its long march nt the Stadthaus-
platz, and the snow man, familiarly
known ns Hogg. Is placed on nn Im
mense pile of wood. At this stage the
festivities arc Interrupted by luncheon,
nnd the crowd disperses until after
noon, when another and much more Im
portant function takes place. A pro
cession of guilds Is formed, with each
member dressed In the costume of his
craft, as lu mediaeval times, followed
by a long line of artistically decorated
men.
Toward the end of the afternoon the
procession reaches the Stadthausplutz,
where the Hogg Is awaiting Its doom.
The scene now becomes most pictur
esque. The crowd of onlookers, several
thousand strong, gathers round tho
Bogg, while the neighboring lake Is
dotted with boats filled with people.
Underneath the Bogg stand n num
ber of men, torch In hand, all ready to
put the pile on fire wlieu the signal Is
given. This signal is a boom of bells
from the belfry near by. As soon ns
given the Hogg Is In Humes, and the
cheering of the people fills the air.
When finally the flames rencb the
snow man a loud explosion takes place,
shattering the Hogg to pieces. This
Is to proclaim to the populace that
winter has really passed away nnd
that spring Is nt hand. The cheers of
the crowd Increase, while nil the
church bells are rung. Thus the festival
comes to an end, and the people of
Zurich return to their homes to In
dulge lu banqueting and dancing,
which bring the day to a close. Cafes
and restaurants are kept open all night
on this occasion, and the farmers as
sembled from the villages of the can
ton continue their rejoicings until the
small hours of the morning.
The origin of the Sechselauten is un
known, but dates back to the days of
William Tell and of other classical
Swiss tradition New York Tribune.

Anelent Mirrors.
Wilkinson, the historian, shows that
the world Is Indebted for mirrors to
the ancient Egyptians, At first they
were made of metal, so well compound
ed and polished that some recently dug
up from Thebes have regulnud a won
derful luster after burial for thousands
of yeurs. Orul in shape, they were
fusteued to carved wooden handles.
References are made to such looking
glasses in Exodus and Job. The Greeks
aud Romans wude similar mirrors of
silver.
At Muruno, near Venice, In the thlr
teenth century the republic protected
the trade and Jealously guarded Its se
crets, securing a lucrative business for
a century aud a half. Mirrors were
then made from cylinders of glass flat
tened on stone, carefully polished, bev
eled at the edges und silvered by an
amulgum.

Is sometimes full and at other times
only a slight crescent, or, us we say, a

Caterpillars and tlrulia.
It Is altogether surprising what cater
liHIiirs and ciubs can survive and ap
pear to lilt it. Koine mites live on
strychnine, eatliiR It with avidity.
Professor Atttleld tried the same fare
ou cheese mites, and up to 5D per cent
of strychnine they lived und thrived as
perhups only mites can be expected to
do. Over 00 per cent of poison they
found to be an error of diet and
promptly died. There Is u sort of enter
pillar which lives on iiiiikiichIii; one
wonders vaKiiely whether a perpetual
course of mneneHln Is not found some
what enervatiiiK. Hut, then, the cuter
pillar Is n IicIiik wholly depraved,
which nothiiiK can kill. The i;ruh of
the fur uiuth particularly Is an Indis
criminate feeder, IlkliiK wool as readily
as fur and a horse's hide ns well as
cither, and will dine heartily ou such
poetic fare as butterflies' whitfs. And
It Is destruction personified, taking a
wanton pleasure in cutting off a multi
tude of hairs more than It can possibly
reipilre, nnd nothing seemingly can kill
It. Turpentine, sea salt, tobacco and
sulphur fumes these "remedies" only
drive It away, that is all, us the pas

Odd Old Laws.
In an old set of laws of the Choctaw
Nation there Is a clause which relates
to the killing of witches, for witch
craft the penalty was death, and for
alleging oneself to be a witch or for
saying that any other person was one
was punishable by sixty lashes on the
bare buck.
Another declared that no doctor could
tuke money or any of the belongings of
a patient ho treated if the patient died.
If the patient were raised up from a
sick bed the doctor could accept what
was offered to him, and If nothing was
offered, then he could take iu goods
what was his just compensation.
In Mii the t'hoetuw council passed
an act which made a poison who bar
gained to sell any of the Choctaw lund
tt traitor ami punishable by death. Any
white mini who encouraged such action
was deported. An Iudinu who sold or
disposed of lund either to Individuals
or to the United (States In toto should
be considered a trultor and shot ou con

begiuiilug of the work of tho Dawes
commission. '
Auliaiul end Plant Allies,
An Interest lug instance of the man
ner In which Insects sometimes assist
the growth of plants Is furnished by
the history of a climbing plunt which
grows lit tho riiillpplues. At an early
stage In Its career the plant, which,
like other plants, begins to grow from
the ground, severs Its connection with
the soil und thenceforwurd lives with
Its roots uttuched to dead bamboo
canes. It develops, lu addition to other
leaves, certain pitcher shaped leaves,
Into the cups of which It seuds a sec
ond set of roots. A species of small
black nut frequents the pitchers and
lucldcntully curries Into them minute
fragments of decaying wood and leaf
mold, from which tho roots derive a
constant supply of food for tbe sup
port of the plant.

the only rest I hud wus lu my cub.
The last stop thut we made before
this experience of which I speak tbe
Oreiiiiiu had to wuke me up when tbe
iglial to go abend was received. I
bud gone to sleep iu my cab.
"As we approached the next station
the conductor may have signaled me,
as he claimed he did, but we dashed
through the town ut about forty miles
an hour before 1 heard the down break
signal. The minute 1 heard it I saw
tbe headlight of the northbound train
less than MM yards away, coming
around a curve. I threw on the air
brakes und reversed, but It all looked
too late. The fireman Jumped, but I
was paralyzed. The two greut engines,
one bearing a special train, rushed to
gether like angry bulls, uud I wa
frozen there, and while those trains
rushed together I saw every Incident
of my lli'e Just as plainly us the day
It happened. That's all I know ubont
It.
"They took me to the hospital, and
nine days Inter I woke up lifter n spell
of bruin fever. The trains stopped so
close together the pilots were sprung
out of place, but otherwise there was
no damage. They had to gut a new
engineer before my train pulled out,
though, and thut was the last time I
ever pulled a throttle," Louisville
Courier-Journal,

A severe eold or attack of la grippe Is

It. But lew mothers In this age Are

ministered by their grandmothers, back
ed by Boschue's German Syrup, which
was always liberally used In connection
with tbe borne treatment of cold and
Is still In greater household favor than
any known remedy. But e"ven without
the application of the old fashioned aids
German Syrup will cure a severe cold
In quick time. It will euro colds lu
children or grown people. It relieves
the congested organs, allays tho Irrita
tion, and effectively stops tho coughs
Any child will take It. It Is Invaluable
In a household of children. Trial size
