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

Bridled Brides.
Western brides have an easier time
than their Abyssinian sisters. On the
occasion of ber marriage an Abys
sinian bride has to change her skin.
From ebony she has to become cafe
au lalt To accomplish this the ex
pectant bride Is shut up in a room for
three mouths. She Is covered with
woolen stuff, with the exception of her
head; then they burn certain green
and fragrant branches. The fumes
which they produce destroy the orlgl-"
aal skin, and in Its place comes the
new skin, soft and clear as a baby's.

Why the Judge Paid.
A physk-lan. says a medical journal
that vouches for the truth of the story,
was once summoned In haste to attend
the oh 1 Id of a family that lived In two
rooms in the heart of a large American
city not New York. 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.
The child recovered, and the magis
trate paid the pbyslclnn's bill.
1 Carrying a Watch.
"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

piece of the king and queen to whom
that particular piece belonged. The
set could not be duplicated for $1,000,

THE SMART DRUMMER."
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

"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

A Vary -Restful Rest.
AdoLf Menzel, the German artist, was
at one time engaged on a mural deco
ration. 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.

He it was who first established regu

Sizing Up Bernard 8haw.
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. His answer was:
Thank you so muchl You have taken
a great load off my mind.'' Now, what
are you to do with a man like that?"
