Tin? adopted daugihter of Mrs. Clara Hew lok Colby, the eminent suffragist, who recently addressed the New Citi zens' el lib of Pittsburgh, is a full-blood ed Sioux Indian. The story of the little maiden formed the theme of a supple mentary chat by Mrs. Colby, as inter esting to those who heard the tale as 1 he eloquent address of t he speaker had been on the selected topic, "Kqunlity lie fore the Law." The babe was res rued from its dead mother's arms four days after the noted battle at Wounded Knee creek, in South Dakota, six yea is ago. Col. Colby was in the charge made by the United States troops against the 1 ndians at that time. The uprising had its inception from Ihe ghost dance. Orders had been is sued for the disbanding of Dig Loot's bond. The order aroused hostility among the Sioux, and without hesita tion the "medicine" man threw a hand ful of earth into the air. This was a signal for the Indians to fire. The United States troops, Custer's old reg iment, under command of Col. Foray the, charged bach, and after the battle was over "nothing that wore n blanket was alive." The slaughter of the Indians was terrific. The next day a terrible blizzard set in, and for four days the dead were left alone in the ravine where the battle had waged. On the fourth (lay the babe was dis covered. A bullet had hilled the squaw, but as she fell rihe had gathered her blanket closely about the child. This, with the heavy covering of snow, had kept the baby warm. It was almost perished from hunger, but soon rnll'cd when placed in the care of some Indian women. As t lie women crooned over it nr.d slowly nursed it back to life, they con stantly wailed: "Zintka Laununi." meaning "poor lost bird." Col. Colby and wife, who have no family, were touctlied by the incident, and as the par ents of the babe, both full-blooded ( -4 s In W I ,i LITTLE LOST BIRD. Sioux, bad both perished in the battle negotiat ions were made for t he purchase cf the little one. This was accom plished, and for six years little Zintka lias been eared for with devotion bytiei foster parents. The blanket and little bonnet worn by tflie baby are treasured possessions ol 'Mrs. Colby. The little bonnet had been wrought with great skill by tlie squaw mother. It is of soft leather, exquisite ly worked with colored bends in geo metrical patterns, and with a npecinl design on either side of aVnited State* Hag. Mrs. Colby states that she nevei looks at the two little flags, wrought by the poor Indian mother, without a feeling of intense sadness that a United States bullet should have ended one loyal life. The little flags, if nothing else, Mrs. Colby says, would make little Zintka dear to her foster parents. The training of the little one, Mrs Colby says, will be watched with inter est. Full-blooded, beyond a doubt, and of- a tribe that has proved itself almost unconquerable, tihe development of the child-with civilized surroundings will in the future have weight. Zintka attends kindergarten now. and the differences bet m en In r and 'othc little ones have not yet been lir.rl.ei. enough for comment. In dispositioi at home and in the kindergarten she i extremely affectionate, willful. Un amenable to reason. She is a mode: Sunday-school baby, and asks question, i on her spiritual being u-fter the sinrl itude of other bright children. She i : fond of music, and in her baby fashion | makes harmony 011 the piano. One pe culiarity, however, is iier ability to read . the thoughts of those about her.

Miss Louis Handel's eyes on her last visit to this country were a light hazel. Now they are a dark, rich brown, which at times deepens intoa jetty black. The change in the tint of Mjss Baudet's eyes was brought about by Prof. Henri FLacide Dumont, the famous Parisian oculist, demonstrator-in-chief at the Paris eye hospital, chief operator at the Ophthalmic institute, and member of many scientific societies. Miss Bau det's hair Lsa rich,reddish brown. The actress suggested one night to Prof. Dumont that lie ought to remedy na ture's unkindliuess and make her eyes the same color as her hair. So lie con sented. The operation was simple. 'Miss Baudot, was prepared for it by a. three days' bathing of her eves with liniments which softened the ex terior of tlie "ball." Then followed some days' confinement in a darkened room. Next slie subjected her eyes to vapor arising from chemicals, the com ponents of which arc only known to the professor. She says she "smoked" her eyes for an hour or more daily for ore week. They soon began to change color. Little patches of brown ap peared on the -clear hazel. These patches spread until the color appeared mottled. Dumont suspended opera tions for a week, and then resumed them. The "smoking" was continued for three days longer, at the. end of which time Miss Baudet's eyes were of the rich line they are now. She de clares that her eyesight is better than ever. Dr. E. S. Peek, of No. 53 West Fiftieth street, New York, has turned the eyes of animals different colors. Jle caused a rabbit to have one rod and one green eye. lie said: "The eyeball is rotated inward by means of forceps, a hypoder mic syringe is passed through the back part of the white of the eye containing n weak solution of permanganate of potash, or of yellow or red prussiate of potash, or of nitrate of silver, or of so-1 üble Prussian blue. In a few hours these fluids will have entirely traversed the vitreous humor of the eye and will have passed through the canal outside of the lens and into the anterior cham ber in front, and will finally be forced under the colorless external eoat of the ! eyeball. The length of time for such j transmission varies in different animals and with different fluids. The usual time spent in these transmissions is from three to six hours in the human eye."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Sanco tor Roast i*At>ic.

The observance of Faster Sunday throughout Christendom is not only a memorial of the central fact in the Christian religion, but gives occasion lor a variety of beautiful customs. With the earth bursting forth in its glories of budding plant life, and the heavens glowing with a warmer sun, and all nature smiling through tlie fresh fragrance and subtle warmth, it is a fitting season for the chief festival of the Christian year. "The Bright Day in the Cast" is the bright day in the west, and wherever the sun shines tlie ancient rites of the Saxon goddess, Fast re, born in paganism, have been as similated and given a new meaning in the Christian civilization of this later day. The gaudy decorations of the heathen races, which were the tangible expres sion of their festival delights, have an ample suggestion in the personal dis play that is now one of the attributes of the Paschal feast. No pagan god dess could address herself more direct ly to the preparation of her Fastre •uiinent than the woman of to-day to Ihe selection of her Buster costume. But. 110 idle variety mars the delights of the present custom. By a most de sirable consensus this day is reserved for the lirst appearance in the gar ments of spring, and as if swayed by a magic Christian wand tlie dark and heavy attire of winter falls away and there stand revealed the bewildering beauties of a new life. From the rising of the sun, the first symbolic event of the day, there is a series of events that complement each other in testifying to the more serious imjsort. No memory is more lively in after years than that furnished by the various egg customs of Faster handed down from ages gone by, and no cus tom is more directly suggestive of the new life it typifies. But through them all, says the Chicago Tribune, runs the central idea of joy and reverent happi ness, a day to rejoice in, a day for light hearts, a day for the renewal of all the forces that contribute to the better life of the world, in fact, Faster day.

Her face was rather red, but not entirely vexed, for she knew every one was looking al her, and she was conscious of having the most expensive hat in the congregation.
