T DOS'T LLTTE FO BE PJIKTEH Sit* Apmchm Ia«tlw H»i a Horror of Betas '_ i: Transferred to Cum ' The Apache Indian has a decided ob­ jection to posing as an artist's model. He does not understand,the process, and thinks it to be some sort of "medi­ cine" work, the more avoided the bet­ ter. A young gentleman of this city, says the Mobile Register, an artist by pro­ fession, went up to Mount Vernon to see what he could see. He was delighted to find that the Indian prisoners there present subjects rich in barbaric con­ trasts of form and color; they pose iu a savage kind of way, and altogether make pictures which an artist would be glad to reproduce on canvas. But they strongly object to sitting for the por­ traits; in, fact, whenever the artist came near their tents they quickly and silently disappeared. There might be dozens of them in sight, but at once they would vanish, going into their tents or fleeing to the bushes for cover. For a couple of days the hunt for subjects was always baffled in this way. The In­ dians, did not, however, have so great an objection to being photographed, and the artist secured pictures of all of their ehief men. ; He tells of one curious incident in con­ nection with his attempts to secure a painting of some of the savages: " Coming across a very striking group of Indians, seated in a tent playing cards, I got out my colors and pro­ ceeded to paint the picture. There they were squatted on the ground inside the tent, the flaring doorway held back by a long pole, their brilliant red and blue blankets on their shoulders or on the ground, their faces all coppery and swarth--they were just what I had been trying to find for my canvas. 44 Well, as soon as I got to work they cot up and left the tent. This was a decided hint, so I packed up my thing.4? and moved also. When they saw I liad gone, they returned and resumed their g%me. I returned also, and resumed my work. Seeing that I did not intend to be done out of my picture, one of the men got up and fastened a blanket over the entrance. Then they continued their card playing. "I had not finished working on the tent and the green foilage which sur­ rounded it, so I kept my place, while a number of Indians gathered around and watched my operations. When I com­ pleted all 1 wanted of the tent, and con­ cluded I did not care to finish it up with a blanket over its doorway, the idea struck me that I could sketch in the In­ dians from my recollection of how they were posed inside the tent, so I went to work and outlined the group. "I was startled by a loud exclamation! ^ottered above. 'Ugh!' 'Hi!' 'Wolla walla!' 'Ughugh!' and so on, the In­ dians being very greatly surprised that I could paint the people I could not see. Some of those who had been looking Over my shoulder, speeded into the tent to tell the card players that it was no use to try to keep that pale-face-not- afraid-of-the-dye-sticks out, as lie could very plainly see right through a blanket. Then one of the players crept from onderneath the back of a tent and mak­ ing a wide circuit, came around behind me to satisfy himself that this report was true. He uttered a loud 'Hy-yeh!' and went off to report. With this the card-play ere all crawled from under the tent and took to the woods. They were determined 1 should not paint them. I, having sufficient of outline work, closed proceedings and returned to mv lodg­ ings." The "Emma Abbott" Kiss In PriYate ~ i, Theatricals. . It's a question that always comes up in amateur dramatics," said Mr. Bran- dreth, with reluctance, "and it always will, and of course it's particularly em­ barrassing in "Romeo and Juliet." If •hey don't show any--affection, it's very awkward and stiff; and if " - ?I never approved of these liberties en the stage, said Mrs. Brandreth. "I tell Percy tliat it's my principal ob­ jection to it. I can't make it seem nice. But he says that it's essential to the effect. Now I say that they must just ' incline their heads toward, each other without actually, you know. But Percy is afraid it won't do, especially on the pai-ting scene on the balcony--so passionate, yon know--it won't do simply to-- They must aci like lovers. And it's such a great point to get Miss Sue Nortliwick to take the part, that he mustn't risk losing her by anything that iolght seem----* "Yes," said Mrs. Hunger, with deep concern. Mr. Brandreth looked very unhappy. "It'san embarrassing point. We can't. Jbange the plav, and so the difficulty must be met and disposed of at once." He did not look at either of the ladies, but Mrs. Munger referred the matter to Annie with a glance of impartiality. His mother also turned her eves upon Annie, who found herself, after a first moment of amusement, very indignant. 1 She would not say anything, and Mrs. Brandreth made a direct appeal. " Percy thought that you must have seen so much of amateur dramatics in Europe that you could tell him just how to do." Annie was able to control herself, and she said, coldly, "Perhaps you could consult Miss Nortliwick herself." "I thought of that," said Mrs. Bran- dfetli; "but as Percy's to be Romeo-- You see, he: wishes the play to be a success artistically; but if it's to succeed socially, he must have Miss North wick, and sire might resign at the first sug­ gestion of " _ " Bessie Chapley would certainly have been better. She's so outspoken you ccmld have put the case right to her," •aid Mrs. Munger. i "Yes," said Mr. Brandreth, gloomily. " "But we shall find out a way. Why, you can settle it at rehearsal!" "Perhaps at rehearsal," said Mr. Bran­ dreth, with a pensive absence of mind. Mrs. Munger crushed his hand and his mother's in her leathern grasp, and took Annie away with hc«. It isn't lunch-time yet," she explained, when they were out of ear-shot," but I saw she was simply killing you, and so I made the excuse. She has no mercy. There's time enough for you to make your calls before lunch, and then you come home with me." Annie suggested that this would not " do after refusing Mrs. Brandreth. *'W4iy, it would never have done to accept!" Mrs. Munger cried. "They didn't dream of it!" -- W. D. Hoicells' "Annie Kilburnin Harper's Mag­ azine. Because She Loved Him. ;il heard a man say something the other iaight about a woman who was quiet, not handsome, simply well-mannered and well-born. He was asked what a well- known man about town saw in her that had made him faithful to her for many' years. This was his answer: " When the fellow got awfully low down in the money way she stuck to him, not only because she thought it was right, but .tujsmlth because she loved him, and a woman like that is pretty hard to find." Now, isn't that a rebuke to the modern wo­ man ? But she isn't the sort of woman to take rebukes. Her greed for gold has made her as hard as marble. --New York Sun. The Brashes that Americans Use. In a well-known establishment on an east-side street, New York, devoted to paints and artists' materials of every conceivable description, there hangs on the wall a remarkable collection of paint brushes, large and small, so taste­ fully and artistically arranged within a gilded frame that one readily receives the impression, at a little distance, that it is a curiously wrought piece of needle­ work. The frame enclosing this group­ ing of what would be considered indi­ vidually as exceedingly commonplace implements of art of trade, is about eight. feet long by four feet in length. There are over 300 brushes in this col­ lection of different kinds, and all are manufactured by the firm in question. The subject of paint and artists' brushes is a very interesting one, and the many processes the bristles or hairs go through forming the brushes are peculiar. Practically none of the finer brushes, whether they be large or small, are made from domestic bristles. Nearly all the bristles come from Germany or Russia, the Russian being the more pre­ ferable, as the hogs from which they are taken run wild in Northern Russia and Siberia, and are larger and stiffer than those of the domestic animal. Several attempts have been made to utilize the bristles from native hogs, but without success. It is the universal law of nature, among the lower animals at least, that careful breeding tends to shorten the growth of the hair or bristles. I have seen bristles from the Russian wild boar measure nearly a foot long, and of great strength. These bristles are used for paiut,. varnish, kalsomine, and wliitewasli brushes, and others of the coarsest description. The smallest size is used in the finest class of art work and, together with bsushes of a slightly coarser nature, is made from the hair of the sable, camel, or badger. v The bristles always come in bulk and are first thoroughly cleaned. Aftev the cleaning process has been finished they are carefully dried and sorted, size for size, and are trimmed to the required length. They are then attached to the handles and are re:*dy for immediate use. It takes from one to three days, according to the quality of the brush, to put it into perfect shape.--New York Mail and Express. Won Her at Last. "Have you no word of comfort for me, Aurora?" Epaminondas Chtigg gazed in strong despair at the young woman who, in a few brief and coldly-spoken words had ended the brightest dream of his life. Aurora Fitzgarlick was beautiful as a showmans $10,000 dream. To a fault­ less face, and elegantly upholstered figure she united a voice like an echo from the choir of paradise and a pater­ nal progenitor with the largest bank ac­ count of any operator on the street. Many and many a time had Epaminondas sat in a Queen Anna chair in the Fitz­ garlick parlor drinking in her Eastlake Michigan beauty until his head ached. Many a time had he proudly attended her to the theater, the opera, and the restaurant, and subsequently tossed upon his restless couch the lifelong night in the pangs of love and indi­ gestion. The hour had come when he could keep silent no longer. He had declared tiimself and been informed with cold politeness by the heiress of the Fitzgarlick millions that she regretted to be compelled to return his proffered hand and heart as unavailable for her use. "What can I say, Mr. Chugg, that will soften the blow which it deeply pains me to inflict?" slip said in reply to his despairing question. " Add a postscript of some kind," he said, wildly; "give me an open date or a chance to hedge. If you can't grant me a rehearing don't crush me by a cold sentence of death. Commend me at least to the mercy of Heaven." "Mr. Chugg," exclaimed the lovely maiden in alarm, "you speak with strange mcoherency. You have read too much campaign poetry." " Aurora Fitzgarlick," replied Epam­ inondas Chugg in a voice whose tragic misery thrilled her to the remotest fiber of her being, "I have read nothing for six weeks except William IX Howells' last novel." "Oh. my poor Epaminondas!" im­ pulsively burst from the lips of the beautiful girl, while her eyes kindled witlu tender pity, and her face lit up with a passion-born radiance, "you have endured enough affliction already! If a lifetime of loving devotion will com­ pensate you for the sufferings of these six weeks take me--I am yours."-- Chicago Tribune.' Washington's Four Love Affairs. As a mere matter of faet, George Washington courted four women, one after the other, all of them wealthy in their own right or having great expec­ tations by direct descent. The woman he finally married was the richest of the four--at least she was the most inde­ pendently wealthy, having everything in her own actual possession. Washington's first love affair was a head-over-heels plnnge into the passion •with a young New York girl who was visiting in Virginia. The name of the young lady has been variously given, but all accounts agree that she was handsome, only 10, and connected with a wealthy New York family. In this affair (t. W. seems to have forgotten all about worldly considerations and t > liave been so deeply in love that the girl's sudden department, earned by the death of her father in England, caused him a downright grief, just as it would any other young man ; but even in this case it so happened that the lady was, or would have been rich." His next' venture was' a Virginia heiress, a Miss Cary, who liked him a good deal better than her father did. As a matter of fact, old Cary couldn't abide him, and told him to leave the house one night and go to the devil. Years later on, when a prominent man, he fell in love with Mary Pliillipse, one of the "crack" heiresses of old New York, but had his usual bad luck re­ peated for the third time. Finally he met the wealthy Widow Curtis, married her, and was very careful of her money ever afterward.--Milwaukee Wiscon- An Illinois judge has ruled that what one sees through a key-hole is not ad­ missible evidence.

The smallest known flowering plant, scarcely visible to the naked eye, is n'olffia microscopia, a water weed of India. Two species of the same genus, the larger about one twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter, grow in the Eastern United States. r Two French biologists have been making experiments in typhoid fever vaccination. In mice inoculated with cultures of typhoid bacilli, genuine ty­ phoid fever seemed to be produced, but in mice inoculated with broth in which the germs had lived, but no longer con­ taining them, subsequent inoculation with the most intense typhoid virus was resisted. Another important invention in rail­ way practice is the method invented by a Baltimore electrician for welding steel rails by electricity, which will enable track layers to lay a continuous track. The ends of the rails, after they are placed in the track, are welded together through the application of a transformed electric current, and are afterward tem­ pered so as to make the joint as hard as the rest of the rail. A French physician mentions a curi­ ous case of left-handedness. One child in a certain family was left-handed, and a second appeared, at the age of 1 year, also to be left-handed. It was then learned that the mother always carried her child on her left arm. She was ad­ vised to carry her child on her right. The infant, having its right arm free, began to grasp objects with it, and soon became right-handed. Among- the agencies which have helped to build up the peninsula cf Florida, according to Mr. A. H. Cur- tiss, are certain trees, like the mangrove and cypress, which grow on land more or less under water. Like the coral builders, they have worked slowly, but in thousands of centuries the change wrought would l»e great. It is alto­ gether probable that the thousands of tree covered "islands" in the Ever­ glades and Big Cypress were once man­ grove thickets, and that the present mangrove islands will in time be added to the mainland. Nightingales build at the bottom of hedges and shrubs. They use dry oak leaves, and arrange them according to the direction in which the leaves have curled, so they fit partially over one another, like plates in a coat of mail. Inside the leaves there is a lining of grass and small roots; but the loose grass of the outside is so deceptive that only a skillful observer can guess that the mass of dry leaves he sees huddled together among twigs and grasses is anything save a heap of refuse left be­ hind by some winter whirlwind. Largest Family In the World. How many Smiths are there in En­ gland ? It is impossible to answer this ques­ tion with precision, but there are data from which an -approximately correct idea may be obtained, says Chamberk Journal. The Register General tells us that in 1850 it was possible to esti­ mate, from certain records in his keep­ ing, that there were then living in En­ gland and Wales about 253,000 Smiths, or one in every seventy-three persons composing the entire population. Sup­ posing that this estimate was correct, and that the same proportion has since been maintained, the statement may fdirly be made that there are now about 355,814 or over one-third of a million Smiths in England and Wales. It is not quite easy to realize at once what an ' enormous number of people these fig­ ures represent. A few simple illustrations may serve to make the matter clearer. For in­ stance, there are more Smiths in En­ gland and Wales than there are people in Dublin--indeed, excluding London, there are only four towns in the United Kingdom--namely, Birmingham, Glas­ gow, Liverpool, and Manchester--con­ taining more people than there are Smiths, while twenty-six out of the fifty-two counties of England and Wales, or one-half, have fewer people than the immortal house of Smith has represen­ tatives. It is on record, too, that in the seven­ teen years lietween and including 1838 and 1854, 28t>,037 Smiths were registered as having been either born or married, or as having died. Although, as every one knows, Smiths form numerically the strongest tribe in England, there being one Smith to every seventy-three persons comprising the population, still the Joneses run them very close, there being one in every seventy-six persons. Next in order on the list, according to officially compiled statistics, come the Messrs. Williams, Taylor, Davis, and Brown. Mr. Robinson, who is commonly as­ sociated with Messrs. Brown and Jones, stands eleventh on the list in respect of his relative numerical strength. Music in Everything. The chief industry of Geneva, Swite- erlaiul, is the manufacture of musical- boxes. Thousands of men, women, and children are employed in the factories, one of which was visited by a traveler, who gives some interesting particulars of his visit: An attendant invited him to take a seat. He did so, and strains of delight­ ful music came from the chair. He hung his hat on a rack and put his stick in the stand. Music came from both rack and stand. He wrote his name in the visitor's register, and on (lipping his pen into the ink, music burst forth from the inkstand. At dinner parties the hostess lifts a dish to pass to the guests, and sweet strains of music proceed from the dish during its trip about the table, and stop when the dish is set down. One is re­ minded of the "Four-and-twenty black-birds baked fn a pie. When the pie was opened, tbe birds began to sing; Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king?" * Musie is in the tea-cups, in ladies' fans, in almost everything. The manager of the factory explained the process of making musical-b;>xes, a business which requires patience and nicety. The different parts are made by men who are ex]>erts in those parts, and who do nothing else, year in and year out. The music is marked on the cylinder by a man who has served several years of apprenticeship. Another man inserts in the marked places pegs which have been .filed to a uniform length. The comb, or set of teeth, which strikes the pegs and makes the sound, is arranged bv a man who does nothing else. The cylinder is then revolved, to see that every peg produces a proper tone. The most delicate work of all is the revising of each peg. It is done by a workman who has a good ear for music. He sees that every peg is in its proper place, and is bent at the correct angle. When the instrument is in its case, an expert examines it to see that the time is perfect. A Specific for Drunkenness. A specific against drunkenness has «ften been sought, but as yet there has been found no remedy except that of moral determination. Although the reform accomplished in this manner is encouraging, there is a wide field for the use of some physical method for the reclamation of besotted individuals who cannot be reached by moral suasion. Dr. Portugslow, g, well-known physi­ cian and writer, declares that the de­ sire for drink is a disease and must be treated by means of therapeutics. He claims that as quinine is a specific against fever, so are subcutaneous in­ jections of strychnine the absolute means of curing the passion for intoxi­ cating liquors. It appears that so far back as 1873 this method of treating was employed, but it attracted little attention. In 1884, the celebrated French physician, Dujardin-Boimetz, was a most zealous advocate of this method of treatment. The preparation and application of the injection is quite simple. One grain of strychnine is dis­ solved in 200 drops of water, and the patient receives an injection of five drops daily for a week or ten days. The effects of these injections are sur­ prising; after two or three of them the drunkard has an appetite and is able to sleep. If, after the expiration of several months, the desire for strong drink re­ turns, the ^sult of indulgence is so distressing, palpitation of the heart, headache, and other equally disturbing effects, that it becomes impossible for the inebriate to touch another drop. It is recommended to make the injec­ tions during the drunken sleep, when the patient awakens in the full posses­ sion of his senses fand will ask for a second or third application. It would be an admirable arrangement if the police surgeons would test this "cure" upon the intoxicated persons brought into the various stations. If this means of treating the deadly sin of in­ temperance be as successful as its ad­ vocates claim, the family physician will be a powerful factor -in the regenera­ tion of society. It has been suggested by the Russian press that stations be established in every department in Russia for the salvation of the army of drunkards. --Newark Advertiser. Their Only Medicine Chest.

Healthful Effect of Onions. It is a pity that onions have the odor that they do, for' their dietetic and me­ dicinal qualities are excellent. Boiled and roasted onions are a good specific for cold on the chest, a cough, a cold, and a clog­ ging of the bronchial tubes. A medical writer recommends tho eating of young, raw onions by children three or four times a week, and of boiled and roasted onions when they get too strong to be eaten raw. Another writer says that "during the un­ healthy seasons, when diphtheria aud like contagious diseases prevail, onion# ought to be oaten in the spriug of the year at least once a week." The effect of onions is in­ vigorating and prophylactic in the extreme, and oue physician goes so far as to say that the eating of onions has actually prevented children from having diphtheria and scarla­ tina. Potato Chowijeb.--Take six large potatoes, one onion, one quart of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, two ounces of salt pork aud one egg.
