Of ail the grew some things In the
National museum the necklace present
ed several years ago by Captain John
G. Burke of the United States army
stands uncquuled as u monument to
Indian cruelty and superstition. This
necklace consists tlrst of all of a long
buckskin cord made by rolling up a
large of skin and sewing It along
the border so that throughout its en
tire length It will measure something
over an inch In circumference, or about
a third of an Inch In diameter. This
cylinder of buckskin Is covered with
bead work so that no part of the skin Is
exposed. The beads are sewed on In
rather tasteful patterns, the colors of
which are white and blue. A thin buck
skin string is attached to either end of
this thick, bead incrusted cord, by
means of which the cylinder Is tied
about the neck of the wearer.
Hanging from the underside of this
necklace and running throughout Its
entire length are twelve human lingers
and several small fliut arrowheads of
peculiar shape and workmaushlp at
tached by buckskin strings. In the
middle of the necklace depend three
small medicine bags made of the
tanned hide or skin of human beings.
These bags contain charm stones and
other paraphernalia of the medicine
man.
The human lingers, forming the most
conspicuous feature of the necklace,
are complete, having been cut off be
tween the middle joint and the knuc
kle. They have been dried In such
manner as to preserve their natural
color, finger nails, etc., and look as
fresh as though they had been re
moved only a few hours.
During General Crook's campaign
against the Sioux and Chej'cnues In
IS7O the Fourth cavalry and a detach
ment of Indian scouts under Colonel 11.
C. Mackenzie surprised and stormed
the chief town and principal strong
hold of the Choyonnes. During or,
rather, after this engagement one of
the Indian scouts. Baptiste Pouvier,
better known as Big Bat, entered the
lodge of the chief medicine man of the
deserted village, and among other
things that the medicine man had over
looked in his hurried flight from the
town the scout found this curious neck
lace. Big Bat gave the necklace to
Colonel Burke, who later turned it over
to a student of Indian religions and su
perstitions, and he In turn presented it
to the National museum.
Subsequently something of the his
tory of this necklace was learned. The
fingers were those of famous enemies
noted for their superior courage and
bravery whom the Cheyeunes had
killed in battle during their various
wars, while the human skin of which
th • medicine bags were made was also
taken from the bodies of enemies slain
in battle. The necklace Is very old and
was looked upon by the Cheyeunes as
a thing endowed with miraculous pow
ers. Prior to its capture by Big Bat It
had belonged to a famous medicine
man of that tribe, who had never al
lowed any white man to lay eyes on it,
and its loss put a very sudden and
abrupt end to the Cheyenne war. The
Cheyeunes tyicd hard to got It back,
offering a large sum of money and a
great many horses for Its return, but
this was refused, and since then the
Cheyeunes have remained at peace
with the whites.—Washington Tost.

"A generation or two ago," said a
Boston clergyman, "old I>r. Ellis was
a well known figure in Boston, being
one of our famous Unitarian ministers,
a friend of many of the transcen- i
dent a lists. lie used always to wear a
white panaina hat in,summer. The
same hat did him season after season,
\ot it never seemed to lose any of Its j
fiesh whiteness.
"One day a minister of the old per- |
suasion and very pronounced In his i
orthodoxy asked Dr. Ellis how he kept |
his hat so white.
"'That is easy/ said the doctor, 'for
it has been Calvlnized/
" •What?' said the other minister.
'llow do you galvanize a hat?'
" 'I said Calvlnized/ replied the Uni
tarian.

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.]
The residence portion of the White
House is closed, and carpenters and
decorators are at work on the Interior
of the historic old building. All the
furniture has been removed from the
east room, the blue room and the red
room and placed iu storage. In a few
days the greenhouse, located west of
the White House conservatory, will be
torn down to make way for the build
ing which is to be used as an oftlce for
the president. This building will be
completed as soon as possible, that
work may begin on the conversion of
the present offices in the White House
Into rooms for the use of the presi
dential household.
The details of the changes In the
White House have not been definitely
agreed upon, but the plans have been
outlined by Architect Mclvliu, and the
main features In the alterations have
been made public. The basement por
tion of the house, which Is now used
only as a kitchen and laundry, Is to
be utilized. A large reception room
will be arranged on that floor, and a
suitable entrance to the room will be
provided at the east end of the build
ing. This entrance will be covered by
u portico and will be quite pretentious.
One of the attractive features of the
remodeled house will be a marble
staircase to replace the old stairway
which now leads to the offices of the
president. The new stairway will ex
tend from the reception room In the
basement to the second floor.
Diplomat** Seek the SenNhore.
The Austrian embassador has taken
a cottage at Bar Harbor, where he has
passed the last three summers and
where he and his wife are leading
members of the Washington colony.
There will be a large diplomatic con
tingent at Gloucester, cottages having
been leased by the Peruvian, Argen
tine and Bolivian ministers and by
Mr. del Yiso. The oriental diplomats
both seek the seashore, the Japanese
minister and Mine. Tukahira going to
Cape May and Mr. and Mrs. Wu to At
lantic City, of which resort both the
minister and his wife are extremely
fond, participating in all the sports,
from bathing to dancing. The minis
ter at least seeks a partner at the ho
tel hops, Mine. Wu's tiny feet preclud
ing such enjoyment.
The MuJor'H Din- llass.
One of Washington's noted fishermen
is Major Dick Sylvester, the superin
tendent of police for Washington and
president of the National Association
of Chiefs of Police.
The major went fishing a few days
ago and returned with u five pound
black bass, which he sent to the presi
dent with his compliments.
Two of the major's friends heard of
his catch and asked about it a few
days later when they were fishing at
the same place. They met a country
boy and said, "Is thero good fishing
up here?"
"Yep," replied the boy, "it's fair.
Major Dick was up last week fishing."
"lie caught a five pound bass, 1 un
derstand," observed one of the party,
"and gave it to the president."
"I dunno nothlu' about his glviu' it
to the president," the boy said, "but
grun'pap, he caught the fish."
Soolttl Sccrctnrlen Scarce.
Wives of the cabinet ministers, who
already are preparing for next winter's
social season, report that there Is a re
markable scarcity of young women In
Washington who are competent to
serve as social secretaries. In fact,
there are not enough to go half way
around, and the cabinet ladies are in
despair because they know that the
shortage means a repetition of the an
guish and humiliation consequent upon
blunders which followed them so re
lentlessly all during lust season.
The soeiul secretary is an important
personage In Washington society. To
he sure, she Is not much in evidence
herself, but her handiwork Is seen ev
erywhere. The making out of the in
vitation lists, the mulling of accept
ances or declinations and the other
routine work connected with the social
season Is the small and unimportant
part of the social secretary's duties.
She Is expected to be a walking ency
clopedia of information on the ins and
outs of Washington society. This In
formation she deals out to her em
ployer as iß'cesslty requires.
Who'* a LobHter?
The wife of a new congressman Is In
variably careful In looking after her
perquisites and sometimes makes her
self ridiculous by overreaching. A cer
tain Mrs. M. 0., hearing not long ago
that It was the custom of the fish com
missioner to distribute fish to repre
sentatives In congress if they cared to
have them, telephoned to the commis
sion that she was giving a dinner par
ty the next day and would be much
obliged If he would send up three large
or six small lobsters. A polite reply
to the effect that the fish commission
was not a market, but that she could
have a dozen goldfish for her aqua- i
rium if that would In any way con
tribute to the success of the feast, was
sent In reply to this request.
AM Electric "Wheel."
There Is a new form of gambling go
ing on in the house cloakrooms. For
merly the members played greenbaelt
poker for drinks, hut since the Instal
lation of six pronged electric fans even
matching pennies has become obsolete.
Each prong of the fan Is numbered,
and the players encli select a number.
The player holding the number that
fnlls opposite the upright support of
the fun "buys" for the entire party.
The game Is very popular, but the
switches coufrolllng the current are
about worn out by the constant turn
lag on und shutting off of the current.

AN ILLUSTRATED VILLAGE.
Utile SIVINH Town One of the Quaint
est In Europe.
When next you go to the Luke of
Genevu, by all menus pay a visit to
the little known village of St Legler,
near by, on the road between Vevey
and Blonay, one of the quaintest vil
lages In Europe and one of the proud
est on account of Its extraordinary
adornments. St. Legler and the adjoin
ing village of La Chlesaz are nothing
more or less than Illustrated villages.
They are us profusely Illustrated as
the modern magazine, for nearly all
the houses bear on their outside walls
some striking picture or comical curl
cature from the brush of u great man
In the village, M. Alfred Beguln, a
painter of local renown and not un
known In Paris, says I'ear son's Maga
zine.
A house In St. Legler has no use for
a signboard to tell the world that It Is
an inn, a cycle shop, a forge or a dairy.
M. Beguin's picture does that On u
stable wall he draws a picture of a
spirited runaway horse knocking down
men us he leaps for freedom; on the
white wall of the little village forge
are pictures of men making horseshoes
for dear life and shoeing a frisky
steed; on the wall of the dairy a dairy
maid balances a pall of milk on her
head, while scenes of local life, as pic
tures of the annual summer exodus to
the mountain pastures with the cows
and goats, and caricatures of the local
bigwigs make a bright picture gal
lery of the village. M. Beguln lives In
one of the most imposing houses In St.
Legler, whence he obtains a full view
of the crooked little village street and
of the Dent du Jaman towering up In
the distance. For many years past lie
has amused himself by painting the
houses, and in the first place he ac
quired most of his skill and boldness
In painting In this way.—Detroit Free
Press.
HORSEHAIR SNAKES.
Penullur IlabltN of TIMMO Threadlike
Little
The "horsehair snakes" are small,
flesh colored mites which live princi
pally In stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface of the water In the
shape of very slender, purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage, they leave the water and work
their way up the stalks and leaves of
aquatic plants. When opportunity af
fords, they attach themselves to the
feet, legs, wings and other parts of
lurgeu- Insects, often, as one authority
states, creeping under the wing case
of beetles. 11l the case of the cricket,
katydid, grasshopper and other Insects
of that Ilk, whose legs are hollow, the
tiny horsehair takes the advantage and
creeps up the hollows Into the very
vitals.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition of some Individuals of the
above named species, single specimens
of the cricket having been caught with
over two dozen of those threadlike
"snakes" attached to and Inside of
their bodies. After heavy rains, which
frequently drown crickets and katydids
which are weighted down by these
parasites, the "horsehair snake"
emerges from the carcass of the iuseqj:
a full fledged miniature serpent. In this
mature state ho Is the delight of the
curiosity seeker anil a mine of study to
those who delight to delve In nature's
bypaths. Those which have been for
tunate enough not to have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encumbered during life
make their way back to the pomls to
lay tlielr eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch Into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
lime the parent "snake" dies to rnuko
room for its progeny.
