Hard, Common Sense.
You hear and read a great deal about
the tyranny of parents who refuse to
sanction marriages, but that which ia
called tyranny is in many cases hard,
honost common sense and good judg
ment, based on experience and obser
vation.
No father, who has roared his girl at
great care and expense, giving her the
best education liis means will afford, de
veloping her into an attractive thing of
beauty und culture, with chances for
the highest happiness and good in life,
wauts her thrown away on some brain
less, unprincipled fop, who hangs
around saloons and smokes the vilest
kind o£ cigars, or cigarettes, day or
night, softening what little brains he
originally possessed.
A girl who will go back on the wise,
loving, disinterested counsels and ad
vice of her parents and wrecks her
bright prospects of life in a union with
such & worthless scamp, who is princi
pally attracted to her by the shekels of
his prospective daddy-in-law, deserves
to be miserable all her days and break
her heart as she will, surely, by such a
thoughtless, inconsiderate course of
conduct, those of her loving, dotiug par
ents.
It is the natural duty of parents
sternly to protect their unexperienced
child against marriages with such ad
venturers, who have not enough mind
aud vim to earn a living for them
selves alone, much less a wife and fam
ily, which are the inevitable outcome
of marriages.
Look around you! Seo the social
and personal wrecks of life caused by
improper marriages.
They till the world with misery and
woe.
It is the loving, sensible, considerate
girl who will, without question, take
the advice of her older aud exper
ienced mother and father on so import
ant a matter as marriage. It is safer,
unhesitatingly, for her to take their ad
vice, and she will yet live to thank
them on her bended knees for their
advice and action.
Girls, stand by your parents! Trust
tliem and d<> iust what they say!
Tho Evil Ono to itlaino.
The proprietor of a hotel at Nisch, in
Servia, gives notice of the death of his
wife in all the Servian papers in tho fol
lowing manner: "With a heart full of
sadness I hereby give notice of the
death of my beloved wife, Sophia, who
died by her own hand, aged thirty-two,
last Sunday. For nine years we lived
happily together, aud to me in her
youth and beauty she was ever as a
flower laden with the dew of early
morning, an ornament to my home and
the pride of my heart. Last winter the
evil one sent a wicked major to my
house, who persecuted my poor wife un
til ho succeeded in seducing her iuno
ccut heart. When I found them out
my beloved Sophia was so filled with
shame at her sin that she fired a re
volver at herself, thus redeeming her
go; d name, but leaving me an unhappy
man for tho rest of my life." After this
poetical communication tho bereaved
husband declares that whenever he suc
ceeds in finding Sophia's major lie will
certainly give him up to the police.

SAVAGE SPORTS.
QUEER GAMES IN VARIOUS
FAR AWAY CLIMES.
Tho Whip Dance of Waraus Peo
ple—Coasting on the Surf at Hon
olulu— The Giant Swing Among
the Fiji Islanders,
What is "sport?"
Well, it depends a good deal on the
sort of people who indulge in it.
Among the enlightened inhabitant;
of this great and glorious country it
generally consists of two able-bodied
men trying to stun each other with the
blows of their fists, or killing some sort
of animal or bird with a firearm.
It is rather different, however, among
the natives of Guiana—Waraus—one of
the tribes which iuhabit the banks of the
Aina/.on. They are the sturdiest of
these tribes, and delight in a trial of
endurance—a trial such as any but a
tough-skinned Indian would prefer to be
excused from nttcmptiug.
Even these Indians frequently, after
engaging in the dance, vow that they
will nevermore submit to the ordeal, and
mutually assure each other that their
skins huve been nude to suffer for the
lust time. Hut an irresistible longing
soon seizes them to again realize the
fearful joy of indulging in the "sport,"
and the result is that the dance continues
as fashionable as ever.
The young men of the tribe then, hav
ing put ou all the finery they arc able to
muster, arm themselves with the terrible
maquarri—a peculiar whip, from which
the dance derives its name.
The whip is about live feet in length
and is manufactured of a strong grass
fiber, nitivc to the district, bound round
spirally with a strip of thin cane. In the
hands of a muscular Warnu it is capable
of inflicting a wound very little less
severe tlmn that which would be pro
duced by the downward blow of a knife.
When the dance is about to commence
the performers range themselves opposite
one another, waving their whips in the
nir and giving utterance to cries resem
bling the notes of birds.
Suddenly one of them stops, nnd
poising himself on one leg stretches out
the other, remaining perfectly motion
less. The other stops, too, measures the
distance carefully with his eye, springs
high in air to give force to the blow, and,
whisli! down comes the heavy whip with i
a fearful smack upon his opponent's
outstretched limb, and a red gash marks
where the keen thong lias curled round j
his calf or ankle.
The recipient of the blow utters never
a sound, but, smiling as cheerfully as!
possible under the circumstances, again |
takes up the dance until it is the turn of j
the other player to stand still and receive [
his punishment, which, we may depend j
upon it, is usually returned with as good j
a will as it was given.
Going a little further south in the |
Western Hemisphere we come to the
Araucauians. These people have a curi- ;
ous fashion of deciding which is best ■
man among them, and instead of ehal-1
leaging each other to a turn with the j
gloves, a wrestling match or, in serious!
cases, a bout at fisticuffs, they settle the
vexed question by a trial at hair-pulling.
Standing" opposite one another, the j
boys each take a good grasp of the long
and coarse locks of the shaggy head in I
front of him. Then begins a" struggle I
for supremacy, in which the combatants !
pull anil tqg and bend and writhe with- j
out uttering a sound, euch trying to
bring his adversary to the ground, when
he relaxes his hold, helps him to rise, I
and they start again, until one owns
himself vanquished.
There is a sport much indulged in by
the Surdwich islanders, and known
among them by the name of holan.
The Sandwich islanders arc among the
best swimmers to be found in any waters.
It is no exaggeration to say that the lit
th' Sand withers swim before they can
walk, for one of the first things the!
mother does is to lay her little one on
the surface of the water, and, support- 1
iug it with her liaud, teaeli it to kick out
its tiny legs and thrust out its tiny arms
in tho attitude of a swimmer.
Providing themselves wilh small pieces
of board they swing out beyond the surf
to the comparatively calm water, diving
under each successive wave as it hears
tliom and emerging in safety, perhaps
half a mile from the land.
Great judgment is requisite in select-'
ing the right moment for diving, for
should tboy err in this thoy stand the
best of chances of being flung back
bruised and breathless upon tho rugged
rooks which line the shore. Arrived
safely in the smooth water, the player
mounts his little boa d and, looking out
for the big wave which he knows will
come in regular succession, lie launches ;
himself upon it and is swept forward
with terrible rapidity toward the iron '
bound coast before him.
Great art is required in the guidance
of his frail plank through some one of
the narrow openings he sees ahead, and
should he fail he must abandon his little
craft and dive out to sea again, to be
covered with shame and confusion by
the more fortunate or skillful swimmers
on reaching the land again. For it is
as shameful for the players in this game
to return to shore without their plank as
in classic times it was for a Roman to
come minus his shield from the tield of
battle.
One of the huge delights of the Fiji
young menaud boys- and, truth to tell,
the Fiji young Indies likewise indulge
occasionally in the sport—is the swing.
The Fiji boys look out for the stump
of a nice, straight and not too thick
tree, which has obligingly grown on the
side of a convenient bank.
Then they fasten to it a number of
lengths of native rope, which usually
have loops in their five ends. The next
process is for each player to plucc his
foot in one of these nooses and go swing
ing oil through the arc of a circle of
fifty or sixty feet in radius.
For the Fijian is almost, if not quite,
as much at home in the aqueous element
ns his brethren the Sandwich Islanders,
and is usually able to swim like a duck
at about that period in his history when
he begins to toddle.
So he plunges into the game with
vigor, flying through the air to the ex
treme length of the rope, before letting
go to disappear with a splash into the
water, his wiry head of hair coining
presently to the surface as player after 1
player follows his example; and while j
the water is alive witli coal-black wigs :
the air is rent with shouts of laughter. \
These and like sports are, however, 1
fast dying out; the advancing tide of 1
civilian ion is rapidly sweeping away the
picturesqueness and primitivencss of the
various races of men.—[San Francisco
Examiner.
Lady of the Lamb.
At ICidiington, England, there is, or
wusacurious custom annually observed on
the next Monday after Whit-sun Week,
wherein a fat live lamb is provided, and
the maidens of the town, having their
thumbs tied behind them, chase it!
through the streets, and she that with
her teeth catches and holds the lamb is
declared the " Lady of the Lamb" until
the same day of the following year,
when another test is made. After the
lamb has been caught by the fair one,
it is dressed by the village butcher, and
with the skin hanging on is carried on a
long pole before the lady and her escorts
to the village green, where much music
and merrymaking follows the event.
CROOK S CHARACTERISTICS.
The Late Oeneral More of an In
dian Than the Indian.
At the date of which I am now writing,
says Captain Bourke in the Century,
General Crook was an ideal soldier in
every sense. He stood about six feet in
his stockings, was straight as an arrow,
broad-shouldered, lithe, sinewy as a cat,
and able to bear any amount of any kind
of fatigue. It mattered not under what
guise vicissitude and privation came,
they never seemed to affect him.
Hunger and thirst, rain or sunshine, snow
and cold, the climbing up and down of
rugged, slippery mountains, of the mon
otonous march, day after day, along
deserts bristling with spines of the cac
tus, Spanish bayonet, mescal, and palo
verdc—his placid equanimity was never
disturbed in the slightest degree. lie
was at that period of his life fond of tak
ing his rille and wandering off on his
trusty mule alone in the mountains. At
sunset lie would picket his animal to n
mesquit bush near grass, make a little
lire, cook some of the game lie had
killed, erect a small "wind-break" of
brush and flat stones such as the Indians
make, cut an armful of twigs for a bed,
wrap himself up in his blanket, and sleep
till the lirst peep of dawn.
"You ask me to tell you about In
dians," said an old Apache chief whom I
was boring about some ethnological pat
ter—"go to the Nan tan [the Chigf—
Crook's name abbreviated]; he'll tell
you. He's more of an Indian than 1 am.''
But Crook did not go on "tizwin"
sprees like the Apaches; he never touched
stimulants in any form unless it might
he something prescribed by a physician;
he never drank coffee, and rarely tasted
tea. Milk was his favorite beverage
when he could get it, and pure water
when he could not.
His personal appearance was impres
sive, but without the slightest suggestion
of the pompous and overdressed military
man; he was plain as an old stick, and
looked more like an honest country
squire than the commander of a warlike
expedition. He had blue-gray eyes,
quick and penetrating in glance, a finely
chiseled Hoinau nose, a firm and yet
kindly mouth, a well-arched head, a
good brow, and a general expression of
indomitable resolution, honest purpose,
sagacity and good intentions.
He had an aversion to wearing uni
form and to tne glitter and filigree of the
military profession. Ho was essentially
a man of action and spoke but little, and
to the point, but was fond of listening to
the conversation of others. He was at
all times accessible to the humblest sol
dier or the poorest "prospector, "without
ever losing a certain dignity which re
pelled familiarity but had no semblance
of haughtiness. He never used profan
ity and indulged in no equivocal lan
guage.
| Probably no officer of equal rank in
j our army issued fewer orders or letters
;of instructions. "Example is always
J the best general order," he said to me
ouce when we were seated side by side
on a fallen log in the lower Powder Yal
j ley, Montana, in a most exasperating
i drizzle of rain in the summer of 1870.
It certainly was true of campaigning in
Arizona, and no officer or soldier hesitat
j ed to do any hardship when he saw the
commanding general at the head of the
column, eating the same rations as him
self, and not carrying enough extra
clothing to wad a shot gun. There is
j one character in American history whom
Crook, saving bis better education and
: broader experience, very strongly re
sembled—und that is Daniel Boone.
The Part of the Argonauts.
At one time there was not in California
: any vehicle except a rude California
| cart; the wheels were without tires and
i were made by felling an oak tree and
! hewing it down till it made a solid wheel
nearly a foot thick on the rim and a little
1 larger where the axle went through.
The hole for the axle would be eight or
nine inches in diameter, but a few years'
use would increase it to a foot. To make
the hole an auger, gouge or chisel was
! sometimes used, but the priucipul tool
was an ax. A smalt tree required but
; little hewing aud shaping to answer for
|an axle. These carts wore always drawn
by oxen, the yoke being lashed with
i rawhide to the horns. To lubricate the
1 axles they used soap (that i 3 ouc thing
the Mexicans could make), carrying
along for the purpose a big pail of thick
soapsuds, which was constantly put iu
the box or hole; but you could generally
' tell when a California cart was coming
! half a mile away by the squeaking. I
have seen the families of the wealthiest
i people go long distances, at the rate of
thirty miles or more a day, visiting in
i one of these clumsy two-wheeled vehicles.
They had a little framework around it
made of round sticks, and a bullock hide
| was put in for a llooi or bottom. Some
; times the better class would have a little
calico for curtains and cover. There was
no such thing as a spoked wheel in use
then.—[New Orleans Picayune.
Curing Fur Skins.
i To cure skins with the fur on, remove
; the fleshy substances and soak for an hour
in warm water. For each small skin
j dissolve in warm water half an ounce
each of borax, saltpetre and glaubersalt*
spread it with a brush on the flesh side
and keep it in a cool place, without
freezing, for twenty four hours. Then
wash clean and take one ounce salsoda
half an ounce of borax and two ounces
white soap, melt thein together without
boiling them; apply to the flesh side and
keep in a warm place for twenty-four
hours. Then wash the skin again and
dissolve two ounces saleratus in cuough
warm water to saturate the skin; then
dissolve four ounces alum and half a
pound of salt in hot water; allow it to
cool so it will not scald, and put in the
skin for about twelve hours. Then
wring out and hang up to drv, pullinr
aud working it as it dries. If not suffi
ciently soft repeat the last soaking and
working. A more simple way of curin"
fur skins: Stretch the skin on a smooth
board and, after you have it well wanned
up, take some thin, smooth iron (the
back of a drawing knife will do) and rub
it until the grease is well worked out of
it. Next wash it in strong soapsuds
until the grease is all gone and finish by
working it until it becomes dry and solt.

The Dilemma of u Drummer Quickly
•Solveil for a Preacher.
A story is told around among the
traveling men, which we do not remem
ber of seeing in print. It was on a
railroad train that the boys were (talk
ing over tho subject of railroad consol
idations, and pools. One tourist as
serted positively that all railroads
running east were consolidated, and
whichever road one patronized, the
money would find its way into the
eame pockets. That practically there
was no competition, and it didn't make
an/ difference what road a man took. A
minister who had overheard the con
versation thought it was a good time to
get in a little work for his master, and
he told the boys about the two roads
that led to eternity, one the broad road
that leads to death, and the thousands
that go over that line. He spoke feel
iuglv of the danger of taking passage
on that great monopoly, and advised ail
j to go by the opposition Jine that would
land its passengers at the great union
depot in the celestial kingdom, safe and
sound. He spoke of the difference in
the management of the two lines, how
one, the one that terminated in hell,
ran through a country blackened by
broken vows, dissipation, crime, bleed
ing hearts and general desolation, while
the one leading to heaven passed
I through green fields, beside still
[ waters, over bridges of faitb, through
tunnels out of pure gold, arriving
on schedule time in the suburbs of the
beautiful city of our Lord, where an
gels instead of hackmen met the pas
sengers, and conducted them to the re
served seats by the great white throne,
where the angel band played and sung
beautiful songs, and where you didn't,
have to go out between the acts to see a
man, and where for all eternity it
would bo one continual picnic, with no
bugs crawling up your trousers. And
pointing his bony finger at a fut
drummer for a Chicago grocery house,
who was just getting his sample case j
ready to get off at the next station, he i
said, "Which route will you take, sin
ner?" The fat drummer got up in the
aisle, buttoned up his reversible ulster,
took a chew of tobacco, and looking into
the eye of the traveling exhorter, he
replied, "It wouldn't make a particle of
difference which route I took. Tho !
oussed roads would consolidate before
I got to the terniinous," and he went
out and jumped into a hack at the sta
tion, while the minister took a Bible
out of the rack in the car and went to
reading about good King Solomon and
his wives, wbilo he sighed at the
wickedness of the Mormons in Utah.
Wade fill ml by a Flash of Eight.
A singular accident recently happened
to the little 3-year old son of Leonard
Mather, a well-to-do sign painter of
Clinton, Mo., and one which resulted in
instaut and hopeless blindness. The
child was playing about on the floor
with his sister, a girl of seven, who was
amusing herself with a bit of broken
mirror. To startle or please the little
fellow she turned the glass so as to flash
the light directly into his eves. He fell
back with a shriek of agony and by the
time the mother could reach him had be
came unconscious. Tho swoon lasted
for some minutes and upon his regain
ing consciousness be begau to scream
again as if frightened, when it was
gathered from his actions that his sight
was affected. The doctor then ex
amined his eyes and found that tho
retina had been paralyzed by the sud
dou Hash of light the shock contingent
causing total blindness.

Keep Your Blood Pure.
j A small quantity of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure. If your blood is in good condition the liability
to any disease is much reduced and che ability to resist
its wasting influence is tenfold greater. Look then to
your blood, by taking Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) every
few months. It is harmless in its effects to the most
delicate infant, yet it cleanses the blood of all poisons
and builds up the general health.
i i iQ* cured me sound and well of contagious Blood Poison. As
soon as I discovered I was afflicted with the disease I
commenced taking Swift's Spccihc (S. S. S.) and in a few weeks I was perma
nently cured." GEOROE STEWART, Shelby, Ohio.
