v MONTAGNAIS INDIANS. They Are Hunters In the Strictest 8ense of the Word. - During ulne months of the yenr fall, Inter-, ami spring the Mouta gnaU Inillnns of Cnnnda Rpend their lives In the "bush." hunting and trap ping for pelts and meats. Then In June they rendezvous at the particular Hudson Bay company post where they belong, trade off their hunt and settle down for rest and recreatlou until the middle of August, when they are off agalu for the winter. They have nbso lutely nothing to do with the cultlva- tlon of the soil, being hunters In the strictest sense of the word. The In dians who bunt about Lake Mlstasslnl form a subtrlbe by themselves, huv Ing the same name as the lake, and their summer rendezvous Is at the Hudson Bay company post on the lake. Those who hunt south of Mls tasslnl on the shores and tributaries of the Ashuapmonebouan river bear the name of that stream. Those on the Nekonba river bear Its name, and those who hunt nearer Lake St. John are known by the Indian name of that lake, Plkontiguml. All of these bands rendezvous on the west shore of Lake St. John, at Polnte Bleue, where the government bns set aside a reserve and attempted to colonize the hunters and teach them to become farmers. East of Lake St. .lohu Is the Culcoutl ml bund, now much reduced, and southeast of them the Tadousac band, both of which are to be found distrib uted over the French Canadian dis tricts of the same names. There ore several other bands farther down to ward the gulf of St Lawrence. South ern Workman. Bridled Brides. Western brides have an easier time than their Abyssinian sisters.

The child hud been seized suddenly And seriously and Just at election time. The mother was in despair, and wltun the doubt ful prognosis was given she broke into walling and vlulent self condem nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's Illness was due a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for It all, ber husband should resign from "the force," and such evil ways should be renounced forever. Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor Anally se cured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken 'woman consisted in allowing the names of many frdudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in ber bouse, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis trate nlso had demanded this of all the neighbors In return for Indescrib able political favors.

"After carrying a watch for thirty years I have Just learned something new In watch lore," said the city sales man. "I don't know whether this is true or not, but an old watchmaker told me. I bought a watch of him the other day. It was a cheap watch. He said: " 'What pocket are you going to car ry your watch in the right or left?' "I told him the left. "'Then,' said he, 'I will regulate It for the left.' "I asked what difference it made, and- he declared that a watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep It from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference Is hardly worth considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine it is very noticeable, I asked for a scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said be only knew it was true, . and then, whether be was faking or not, he pre tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket" New York Sun. Chinaware of the Big Hotels. ' The only china used at private din ners at the Knickerbocker in New York Is the bleue de sevres, which was made in France especially for this hotel, with blue and gold pattern and the monogram of the hotel on the rim of each piece. There are seventy-two pieces to a set, and each piece cost $6. At the Plaza and Astor the cost of each piece is $4 and $5 respectively, and designs are ' white and gold and plain white with border of asters. Great care has been taken and large expense incurred in obtaining the choicest china for the Waldorf-Astoria. For select private dinners the "crown" set Is used, consisting of specimens from the sets of royalty dating from the time of Napoleon to the present. The pattern Is a blue and gold border with a picture in the center of each piece of the king and queen to whom that particular piece belonged. The set could not be duplicated for $1,000, 000.

There Was Something Coming to Him, and He Got It. "Gentlemen," said the drummer of druggists' sundries as he looked around on the half dozen men who were ask ing him for the latest story, "I believe I have felt about 400 different feelings In my life, and the balmiest one of all was the feeling that I had something coming to me and would get It if I stayed on the rond long enough." "And have you got It?" was asked. "I have.. I got It coming Into Chi cago. 1 was very comfortable in my Pullman when a young man came along and told me a pitiful story and wanted me to buy his diamond ring. The game Is older than the hills, and 1 was on in a minute bogus story and bogus diamond; willing to sell me a $200 ring for $30. I asked hlra where the green spot was in my eye, and while I was pluming myself the man 'In the other part of the section pulled out three tens and pocketed the ring. Did I look down upon him with pity nnd contempt? Did I smile? Did I grin? Did I ask him where bis guardian was? Oh, yes oh, yes, and hd spoke up nnd claimed ,thnt the stones were diamonds and the ring well worth 200 plunks. It nettled me to see the ass so cocksure and to hear hlra say that of course 1 was no Judge of diamonds, and I put up $50 that he'd been done for. The conductor held the money, nnd when we got into town we made for a Jewelry store. We took in four of 'em before I laid down. . Same story In each place ring worth $200." "And you lost your $50?" "Slick as slick." "And there was a game in it?" "Of course, you camel. Seller and buyer were confederates, and they probably worked the scheme six days a week. If I'd got ready to buy, some excuse would have been made to head me off. Yes, gentlemen. I had some thing coming to me, and I got It, and I feel relieved." Baltimore American. EQUATORIAL AFRICA. How Hunters Dress Where There Is No Dawn and No Dusk. We wore khaki for daytime and warm clothes for night when sitting around the camp, as after the sun goes down a great chill immediately settles down that makes winter cloth ing and a good big fire most essential. During the daytime we always wore pith helmets, although sometimes early .In the morning and late In the afternoon, when the sun Is not at its maximum, a double teral felt hat may be substituted. It Is far more com fortable than the helmet. As additional protection we wore sun pads which covered the spine. These are merely heavy quilted strips that reach from the collar to below the shoulders, as we were advised that, the effect of the sun was Just as dead ly at this point as on the bend. I do not know what maximum the ther mometer would reach in the sun, as I was afraid to leave It exposed when it got higher than a little above 150 de grees, as beyond that point there was great danger of breaking it. In the shade the temperature would be usu ally from 85 to 100 degrees, but there was always a breeze blowing, and the dryness of the air cooled one off quite rapidly as soon as one got out of the sun. It was always cold In the morn ing when we started out at the first peep of light, and we were usually shivering for a few minutes prior to I the sun's appearance. Day does not dawn in equatorial. Africa, but It bursts! It is dark one minute and full sunlight the next, and the reverse oc curs In the evening, for the sun goes down and night comes on as If a cur tain had suddenly been drawn down over the west, and the chill of night begins lnstnntly. Percy C. Madeira In Metropolitan Magazine.- "A Sound Box." Take an ordinary rubber band and stretch it between the thumb and fore finger of your left hand. If you pick it with the fingers of the right hand and let go suddenly it will make a sound which you can hear distinctly enough yourself, but which will not be audible to any oue a few feet away. But if you were to fasten the clastic, with a pin at each end, to an empty wooden box, only not so as to touch the wood, and then twang It the sound would be much louder than before. That box is the sound box or sound board, and all stringed ' Instruments have ono in some shnpe 6r other. St Nicholas.

He bad rigged up a scaffolding In his studio, on which his model was requested to stand. For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aloft In a most fatiguing posture. Men.el in the meantime worked at his sketch, heedless of the fact that bis model was growing tired. At length the model found it neces sary to speak. "Herr professor," said he, "how about a recess?" Menzel apologized profusely for hlr forgetful ness. "Certainly, certainly, my dear air," said be. "Come down and rest yourself a bit.", The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder, ' which led flown from it to the studio floor. "Stop!" cried the artist suddenly. "That pose is fine! Don't move a mus cle!". And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity, while the enthu siastic draftsman set about sketching him. At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from' his work. "There," said he; "that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold. We have bad onr rest Let us get back to work again." What the model said is left to the reader's imagination. 8ootland and Horse Racing. . Scotland has been' famous for Its horses from the, most ancient days. When Agrlcola defeated the Caledo nians at the battle of the Grampians, A. D. 84, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to Improve Its, native breed of horses, and la this Connection It is not to be forgotten (hat the first Scottish king of Eng jknti, James I., did more to Improve lhe race horses In onr Island than was ifAWAa itilH. .AAWA film A t.

Bernard Shaw is thus Immortalized by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English ( comedian: "Once on a time I had a mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Tell.' I wrote to Shaw and asked his permission. He answered that he would come and re&d It to me. He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought it was the best play that ever was writ ten and at others be considered it the greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that it was a pretty poor play and that if I produced it well, I must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw if I could compress the last act. He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies I bad at last to tell him that I couldn't pro duce the play.
