v MONTAGNAIS INDIANS.
They Are Hunter In the Strictest
Some of the Word.
' During nine ninntlM of the yenr
fall. winter-, and spring the Moutsi
gnnis Indians of Canada spend their
lives In the "bush," bunting and trap
ping for pelt and meats. Then In
June they rendezvous at the pnrtlculnr
Hudson Buy company post where they
belong, trade off their hunt and settle
down for rest and recreation until the
middle of August, when they are off
again fur the winter. They have nbso
lutely nothing to do with the cuttiva-
tlon of the soil, being hunters In the
strictest sense of the word. The In
dians who bunt about Lake Mlstasslnl
form a subtribe by themselves, htiv
Jng the same name as the lake, and
their summer rendezvous Is at the
Hudson Bay company post oo the
lake. Those who hunt south of Mls
tasslnl on the shores and tributaries
of the Asbunpinoncbouan river bear
the name of that stream. Those on
the Nekonba river bear Its name, and
those who bunt nearer Lake St. John
are known by the Indian name of thai
lake, Pikonagutul. All of these bands
rendezvous on the west shore of Lake
St. Jobii. at Polnte Bleue, whore tbe
government has set aside a reserve
and attempted to colonize the buuters
and teach tbem to become farmers.
East of Lake St. John Is tbe Chlcoutl
ml bund, now much reduced, and
southeast of tbem tbe Tadousac band,
both of which are to be found distrib
uted over the French Canadian dis
tricts of the same names. There are
several other bands farther down to
ward the gulf of St Lawrence. South

Bridled Brides.
Western brides have an easier time
than their Abyssinian sisters. On tbe
occuslon of her marriage an Abys
sinian bride has 'to change ber skin.
From ebony she bas to become cafe
au lait 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 ber
bead; then they burn certain green
and fragrant branches. The fumes
wblch they produce destroy the orlgl-'
mal skin, and in Its place comes tbe
new skin, soft and clear as a baby's.

, Dangerous Egg.
A certain well known actor Is al
ways ready to assert that there are
many untoward possibilities In his pro
fession. "Really tbe public doesn't
appreciate the vicissitudes of an ac
tor's life,", he said recently. ! "Now,
there was Wlsbam Brown, who went
touring in Soutb Africa. I met Wlsh
am's cousin recently. "Well, how la
Wish? said I. 'Wish?' said tbe cous
in. "Why, i man, Wisham's dead I'
Dead!" I cried.' 'How did be die?'
'Pelted to death with eggs at Cape
Town,' the cousin answered. . 'But eggs
don't kill.' said I. He smiled sadly
and murmured, 'Ostrich eggs do.' "
Why the Jutfge Paid.
A physician, snys a. medical Journal
that vouches for the truth of the story,
was once summoned in linste to attend
the child 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 wlfen the doubt
ful prognosis was given she broke
into wailing and violent self coudoni
nation for some horrible sin of tbe
family to wblcb she said the child's
Illness wns due a direct punishment
for their crime. She would go and
curse the magistrate for It all, her
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 finally se
cured the confession that the crime of
the poor, conscience stricken 'Woman
consisted In allowing the names of
many fraudulent voters to be regis
tered as residing in ber bouse, In
swearing to the He, etc. The magis
trate also had demanded this of all
the neighbors In return for Indescrib
able political favors.
Tbe child recovered, and the magis
trate nald the physician's bill.
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 tbe
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 wbat difference it made,
and- be declared that a watcb runs
faster on the left side than on tbe
right, so to keep it from gaining time
be 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; Bald be
only knew It was true, . and then,
whether be was faking or not, be pre
tended to regulate my watch for tbe
left pocket" New York Sun.

THE SWART DRUMMER;
There Was Something Coming to Him,
and He Got It.
"Gentlemen," snld the drummer of
druggists' sundries as be looked around
on the half dozen men who were ask
ing hliu for tbe latest story, "I believe
I have felt about 400 different feelings
In my life, and the balmiest one of all
was the feeling that 1 bad something
coming to me and would get it If 1
stayed on the road long enough."
"And have you got It?" was asked,
"I have.. 1 got It coming into Chi
cago. I was very comfortable in my
Pullman when a young muu came
along and told me a pitiful story and
wanted me to buy bis diamond ring.
Tbe game Is older than tbe hills, and
1 whs on tn a minute bogus story
and bogus diamond; willing to Bell
me a $200 ring for $30. I asked blm
where the green spot was In my eye,
and while I was pluming myself tbe
man In the other part of the section
pulled out three tens and pocketed the
ring. Did I look down upon him with
pity and contempt? Did I smile? Did
I grin? Did I ask hlra where his
guardian was? Oh, yes oh, yes, and
he spoke up and claimed tlat the
stones were diamonds nnd the rlnjr
well worth 200 plunks. t nettled tno
to see the ass so cocksure and to benr
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. TVe
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 bad some
thing coming to me, and I got It, and I
feel relieved." Baltimore American.
EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
How Hunter Drees Where There I 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 ,ln the morning and late in the
afternoon; when the sun is not at its
maximum, a double terat felt bat may
be substituted. ' It is far more com
fortable than the helmet.
As additional protection we wore
sun pads which covered tbe 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 wns Just as dead
ly at this point as on the head. 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 tbe 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 nlgbt comes on as If a cur
tain bad suddenly been drawn down
over tbe west and tbe chill of night
begins lnstnntly. Percy C. Madeira In

"A Sound Box."
Take an ordinary rub"bcr band nnd
stretch it between the thumb and fore
finger of your left band. If you pick
it with the fingers of the right band
and let go suddenly It will make a
sound which you can hear distinctly
enough yourself, but which will not be
audible to any one a few feet nway.
But if you were to fasten the elastic
with a pin at each end, to an empty
wooden box, only not so as to touch
the wood, nnd 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 Very -Restful Rest.
Adolf Menzel, the Cenniui artist, was
nt one time engaged on a mural deco
ration. He had rigged up a scaffolding
in bis studio, on which his model was
requested to stand. For two long
hours the poor poseur stood up aloft
In a most fatiguing posture. Menzel
In the meantime worked at his sketch,
heedless of the fact that bis model was
growing tired.
At length tbo model found It neces
sary to speak. "Herr professor," said
be, "how about a recess?"
Menzel apologized profusely for hlf
forgetfulness. "Certainly, certainly,
my dear sir," said be. "Come down
nnd rest yourself a bit.".
The model had clambered from the
scaffolding to tbe ladder, which led
flown from it to the studio floor.
"Stop!" cried tbe 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 np from" his work. "There,"
said he; "that will do nicely! Get back
on the scaffold. We have had onr
rest Let us get back to work again."
What the model said is left to tbe
reader's imagination.
Scotland and Hon Racing.
. Scotland bas 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, tbe 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 in this
connection It is not 'to be forgotten
that the first Scottish king of Eng
land, James I., did more to Improve
he race horses In onr Island than was
ever done before, blm or .has. erer been
done by any Individual since. James
I. was the real author of horse racing
as It has since been known In England,
lie It was who first established regu
lar courses, and during bis reign there
came into being tbe code of regula
tions that led np to the modern laws of
the turf. Nobody denies that horse
racing has done much for the breed of
British horses. It was a gift from
Scotland. London Answers.
Sizing Up Bernard Shaw.
Bernard Shaw Is thus immortalized
by Charles Hawtrey, the-well known
English ( comedian: "Once on a time
I bad a mad desire to produce Shaw's
play of TTou Never Can Tell.' I wrote
to Shaw and asked bis permission. He
answered that he would come and
read it to me. He did and began by
saying tbat sometimes be 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 tbat 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 oat
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 ranch! You have taken
a great load off my mind.'- Now, what
are you to do with a man like that?"
