A Queer Mml Crown Sleeping In Tree and Obfimnre to tli Snn. a Franc:co Examiner. Amont? the most curion people of this continent.'7 remarked John Olendorff to a Ikuot of three or four friend at the Occidental Hotel, "are the native peons of Mexico, and when yon look at th female portion of that unaccountable race you get .1 -curious representation .that makes you pan.so with wonder. "Living on the borders of -Arizona and Mexico, as I have for nine years past, I have had a good opportunity to see many thing that most transient people. -would ya.s by unnoticed. The longer I stay tho ore lam impressed with the nnaccounta bio ways of the descendants of the Aztecs. The society 'lady' of the peons, if I may speak of hr as such, has a way of doing up her back hair that I have never seen duplicated anywhere. "It is no les than to put a great claycrown on tho top of her cranium, iu which the hair is matted, like pigs' bristles, in plaster. This crown reaches np say eight or nine inches and looks like a great plaster coue. It serves a double, purpose. Not only is it worn at veiling parties, but "throughout the day. Jndeed, the primary object of the mud coue was to preserve the head from the intense hat of the southern sun. Now, however, it is worn at evening balls, aud iu Mady' thinks herself recherche. and in positively good form unless &ho ha her novd crown on. The hair is matted and twisted and coiled all aronnd in it, and it may be depended on that it cannot come loose and come tumbling down and cause her any embarrassment in company. Tho longer a onc is worn the harder it gets, and when it has reached tho age of a month, say, it is as bard as a brick-bat, and would have to be smashed to pieces with a hledure if there nvere no other way discovered. Tliis, however, happily is the case. - "The old Aztecs invented, and the secret has been perpetuate in the race, a peculiar solution compounded from wild plants hich knocks the plaster topknot to smithereens. It takes some time to do it, however, usually from rive to nix hours, and during thistime the lovely Aztec maiden or matron must 6oak her head in a big jar of this solution. It is the proper thing for the women to change these cones at least once a month. Aiter that the whitish soil of which it is composed chuged to a dull yellow and the wearer lose& caste. And there is caste among the peons as much as there ns among any other classes of people. ' "These native women are fond of necklaces, and you will ofteu pee them going about with nothing on except a necklace and a mud crown. Others again will have very slight raiment. The men do not wear mud crowns, but they are often as limited in their attire as the feminine sex. Their habits are extremely himp-e in the main, though in some other respects they go oti on wild tangents. "During the larger part of the year yon will see, if you journey through this region, hammocks slum; from all the trees at nighttime. Indeed, iiyou were to be out of a moonlight night, and it was your rirst experience, you would think the palm and

pine trees were bearing singular fruit. The natives are all in these . hammocks. .They are there to escape the tarantulas, centiPMles and Mexican scorpion, which aro out on the rampage. Let oue of these things jret into your blankets and hie will nover he easy until ho gets a nip at the occupant. This is why the natives will never sleep on I he ground. Ilcsides, it is cooler and more 'comfortable in the trees. "The peon, when he rises in the morning, snakes a queer obeisance to the east. Ho is saluting the morniug sun, and does it by lirst bowing until he lias liis body at right ungles to his legs and liorizontal to the arth. In this position he pauses devoutly for. perhaps. m a quarter of a minute, and then raising his body to its proper position, he abruptly thrusts his right leg, and then his left, forward. Another polite bow to Aurora, delivered by an inclination of the head alone, and the business is done. "This palntatiou is supposed to win him favor with the reigning fortes of the heavens and make him 'solid' f br the day. Tho women never go through tuis morning performance. They leave all such things to the men. Tho childreu of b oth sexes quickly catch np tho ways of their elders, and thus grow up perpetuating all tile customs of tho rate. n A TIMELY WARKTNG. An Indian Apparition Coine in Time to Save a Party of II anter. Chico (Cal) Enterprise. Presentiment or apparition, the following, testitied to by three refutable citizens, savors somewhat of the supernatural, and verities the old saw. "The re is a divinity that shapes our ends." berjreant John Allen, the crack shot of tlio Chico Guard, .last week left for a huntiug trip in the l)eer creek country, accompanied by V. J. Collins aud L. W. U rooks, two fanners residing in Oakdale. The party had hnnted two days in the rain and cold without finding auy game. Toward the close of tho third day they succeeded in shooting an immense buck which they had trailed up a :uarrow canyon defile, and where a stream of water fell over a low ledge of rock, had cornered aud killed it. There wa a small drift or indentation iu the cliff" where they were, probably made by the action of the water, and as the rain wa. coming down in perfect sheets they concluded to camp there for tho night, it rooks and Collins fell to preparing a slice of venison for supper, over the lire they had kindled in tho cave, while Allen drolled tip to the edge of tho waterfall and was notiug how the water gathered in volumes and the tiny streana was fxst becoming a raging torrent. While Allen stood gazing at a small piuo tree oa tho edge of the brink he suddenly became conscious that he was not alone; lor there, in the dim light, stood revealed in all his tinery and feathers an Indian chief, as John supposed from his costly trappings. He carried a bow and a quiver of arrows, and hi attitude and every look was fraught , with significance. He gazed on Allen, who felt decidedly out of place, then raised his arm pointed to the heaven s. then to the stream, and waved his hand toward John's companion, and pointed down the creek. Allen quickly called to the boy, when tho figure disappeared. A hasty consultation ..was had, their traps were rucked, and the two miles back to the mouth of the canyon . was made none too soon, for the stream bv which they had encamped was now a raging river, and flowed for ten feet over the -spot of their late encampment. Whether presentiment or apparition the escape was most lucky, and even if John .dreamed the Indian part, he was fortunate iu his choice of dreams. - A Kest Girl Tnur. Adrain flllch.) SpecUL Among tho features of Adrian College which are not set forth in the annual catalogue is a "best girl trust. The young men are sworn to secrecy, ami to abide by the rules of the trust, the object being tho monopoly of the best girl in the college. The organization bejjau by selecting as many girls as there were me tabors of tho trust, who were divided by lot, the provision being that each, man s hould entirely monopolize the lady assigued to him for one month, and to allow no other man to escort her, on pain of a heavy tine ami imprisonment in a coal shed until released bv the faculty. At the end of the mouth each member must trade girls with some other member, if called upon to do so. The tmt ha been in operation foi jsonie time, and is said to be flourishing.

The parable of the sower is given bv the three svnoptists (Matthew, xiii. 1-23; Luke, viii. '4-18.) This is an intimation of the deep impression made by its utterance. It was delivered toward the close of our Lord's second year of public ministry, and when His popularity was greatest. Whatever may have been the material suggestion of the parable, the moral suggestion is obvious. The time of sifting was at hand, andinthemnltitude before Him were all classes of hearers which that sifting would exhibit. We can imagine something of the deep pathos with which the speaker indicated the result. Of the four classes only one was to be faithful and fruitful. The others would go back, and would walk no more with 11 im. The scene of this parable is the shore of Lake Genesaret. The Teacher is in a boat, a little out from the shore. The congregation, a great host, rises rank upon rank before Him. The time is placed in tho autumn, some months after our last lesson. WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES. The evangelists speak again and again of Christ going apart to be alone. Here is a different kind of solitude. It is the sense of separation one feels when with loving and con genial friends. Wo say "alone with God." This is a paradoxical expression, for the word alone means "quite by one's self without company." So there being a loving Fat her one can never be alone. Hut this being alone with one's sympathetic friends is oue of the most comforting feelings ill the world. Let the harmony be tirst in a family, where all have the spirit of tho twelve, that of s3'inyathetic inquiry into the purposes and mysteries of God. Such concord creates a peace that precludes every feeling of strangeness or of dissonance among those bound together by ties of blood or love. To know all parables we must know the first, the fundamental one. To know all truths we must learn by degrees one at a tiuie, the bed-rock one lirst. To be perfect one must lirst practice perfectly tho one and great commandment. Who is he that would allow a twentydollar gold-piece to bo wantonly snatched from him? Vet a mean criticism, a sly allusion, unkind gossip, a hundred other satanic birds of prey will seize upon the truth just heard or thought of, and away it is goue! Wo lack in sufficient foresight and calculation. A new idea! Enthusiastic reception! Finally, plundered pockets and a lost faith. Truth, salvation must bo taken calmly weighed and decided upon. Thoughtless surrender is not a compliment to the Deity. It is a solemn business to yield one's conviction at the suggestionof a pastor or at the reading of tho iiibie. Yet if thev are right it must be done for one's own honor's sake thoughtfully and finally. Kiches have really uecomo the tyjw of temptation, but are by no means all of it. There are ptentv of healthful and inspiring pleasures. Such do not deceive. Any momentary or even lasting state that seems tj give joy and satisfaction if it leave any disagreeable taste in the mouth or regret of the heart know that it is something to bo absolutelj avoided. That is your thorn that chokes. 'We are encouraged that there is somo fruitful seed among so much unbountiful. It is a question for each ono to decide whether he swell the number of the elect or not. Personal and News Notes. Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress' has been translated into Swahili, the language spoken in Zanzibar. 1 TheKeform Church of Hungary is making a strong effort to introduce celibacy among ita ministers. llishop Mallalieu heartily commends tho Methodist Alliance, and especially admires the membership pledge. A revival is in progress among the Scandinavians at Salt Lake City, and they are leaving the Mormon Church in large numbers. Among the 200 converted in the revival at Locust-street M. E. Church. Greencastle, Ind.. many wire students at De Fauw University. Richt Rev. Provost McKerrell, of the archdiocese of Edinburgh, has been created a mousiynor and domestic prelate of the higher grade. In the last 100 years, while the population of the earth has doubled, the membership of various Christian churches has more than trebled. The United States, with over sixty millions population, have only 5.000 students of theology, while Germany, with only fortylive millions, has 7,000. Presbyterian missionaries have found favor with the Shah. They are now building at Teheran a mission house, hospital and school for girls and boys. The Rev. Heber Newton, of New York, has progressed in his views of liberalism in religion to the point of speaking of the incarnation as aa old Pagan idea. An eflort is making in Denver to erect a suitable Young Men's Christian Association building. Mr. H. 11. Chamberlin ottered 25,000 conditional on $150,000 being raised. letters from Rome, from many and most reliable sources, suggest the more than possibility, the probability, that the next Pope will be an American, Cardinal Gibbons. The Catholic Directory for 1SS9 places tho Catholic population of the United States at 8,157,oTi6, with some 7,000 churches, 8,000 priests, 200 orphan asylums and nearly 000,000 parochial scholars. Tom Jackson, tailor, colored, and thrift v, of Athens, Ga., will go to Africa as a voluntary, elf-supporting missionary. He will give a year to preparation at nome, aud then begin by building a church in Liberia. The Rev. AVm. Martin, a Methodist minister, who died in South Carolina this week, at tho age of eighty-two, had been sixtyone years a minister. Part of tho time he was a missionary among the Creek and Choctaw Indians. The court at St. John's, Quebec, has ordered a young woman of age, who had renounced Catholicism and become a Protestaut, and entered a Protestant educatiouai institution, to return to tho guardianship of her father. An appeal has been taken. The Citizens' Law and Order League of the United States holds its auuual couvention in llostou Feb. 18 and VJ. It asks that Feb. 17 be observed as Law and Order Sunday, and that pastors preach on the rela

tions of civil and religious liberty to law ami good government. The Quebec Legislature has passed a bill granting to the Order of Jesuits $400,000 in lieu of their estate, which was confiscated by the government a hundred years ago, when the order was suppressed by the Poth?. Itishaidthe Dominion government will not interpose the ve to power against the bill. Dr. McGlynn wems to be growing bolder, not to sav more reckless, says the Urooklyn Eagle. He was reported to have said, recently, while reviewing the refusal of burial in a Catholic cemetery of one of his own aud Henry George's di-cinles. that ho would as readilv have his body committed after death to the interior of a shark as to any other place. When the Sacred College of Cardinals is full it numbers M'venty members: there are at present ten vacancies. Of the sixty cardinals over half are Italians, live are llritish subjects, and the United States claims one. The rest are of Austrian, (ierman, Polish, Freiich. Spanish and Portugese descent. The eldest of the cardinals is Dr. Newmail, who was born in the year 1801. No less than six of the number are octogenarians. One of the speakers at the meeting of the Indian Rights Association in Philadelphia on Mouday evening was the Rev. Joshua Giveu, Comanche. "What we need1 ho

California frnit-zrowers have 'discovered that fruit can be kept fresh for a long time by packing it in carbonized wheat bran. A white water lily, in full bloom, with its fragrance unimpaired, was raked out of a mill trench at wood River Mills, R. I., a few days ago. The skeleton of a mastodon has been unearthed in California. It is .thirty feet long and has tusks between six and seven feet in length. .' The number of mnsoles in an elephant's trunk, according to London medical authorities, is KUJ, and he has uso for each and every one of them. A lady's marriage ring, which was lost sixteen years ago on a farm near Glasgow, Scotland, was recently turned up in plowing and restored to her. It was as bright as when lost. Col. T. J. Summers, of Americus, Ga., would like to know what something is that was found in his well the other day. The body resembles an eel's, but attached to it are four logs and webbed feet. Millions of small, red, transparent things, about the sir.e of a pea, having long feelers and numerous legs, are found to inhabit the waters about 41 degrees south latitude and 49 degrees west longitude. It was found that the loss by evaporation from a large tank for supplying the city of Nagpur with water was, iu the hottest season, two and a half times as great as the quantity supplied for consumption. A curious crop is a harvest of four thousand sponges. It was obtained by an Austrian savant as tho result of an experiment of literally sowing small parts of living sponges in a soil favorable to their production. At Fribourg, in Switzerland, a suspension "bridge is thrown over the gorge of Gotterou, which is 317 feet above the valley. This structure is very light and graceful, and is by far the loftiest true suspension bridge e ver bilt. Tho thistle at the antipodes seems to attain a most vigorous growth. Its root penetrates to a depth of from twelve to twenty feet, and this root, even when cut into small pieces, retains vitality, each piece producing a new plant. The first bear in forty years was captured in the woods on the outskirts of Wellsville, O., the other day. It was a cub about six months ohh aud weighed sixty pounds. The mother is supposed to be loitering in tho vicinity, and hunters intend searching for her. W. C. Vandegrift, of' Lithouia, Ga.. had a game rooster to commit suicide by jumping into a well last week because he was whipped by another rooster. The rooster had never before been whipped, and tho humility of defeat was more than.he could stand Frank Thornton, of Elberton, has in his possession a couple of eggs which aro curiosities. They have two shells; the yolk is inclosed in the smaller one and the white around it in the larger. The eggs are as large as a goose egg, which they closely

resemble. Somo woman time ago Mattie Tenuell, a young of Santa Rarbara, Cab. had some lemon juice accidentally swilled over her hair on one side of the head. Since then the hair on that side haa become perfectly white, and the ends of the hair curl a's though treated with a curling iron. While sawing a log that had been chopped down a couple of years ago, V. S. Wliitmore, of Beatrice, Neb., fetruck a stone as large as his two lists that had grown solid in the heart of the tree. The tree was sufficiently large to indicate a growth of perhaps twenty years or more around the stone. The waters of nearly all the hot springs in the Black river region, Nevada, are so strongly impregnated with mineral matter that they will petrify vegetable or animal matter iu a few years. One enterprising genius has the bodies of three Indians in soak, and when they are converted into stone he expects to mako a fortune exhibiting them. James Carroll, a San Francisco milkman, is the possessor of a horse whoso hide is coverd with a thick mass of curly white hair, about three inches in length. When seen from a short distance the hide presents a woolly appearance and the animal looks as though natnre had given him the skin of a sheep through mistake. A cat owned by a farmer who lives near Norwich, Conn., lias developed a fancy for stealing clothes-pins. While the animal is never known to touch clothes-pins of its owner, it brings home all it can find lving aronnd loose iu the neighbors' yards. Within the last throe months twenty-eight dozen have been brought home in this way. The two elm trees cut down in Luenburg, Mass., a few days ago, were more than a century old. According to Massachusetts papers, "they were planted by Captain John Litch on the memorable dark day, May 19. 17S0, when it was so dark that peiple could not see to read at midday, and many persons supposed the day of judgment had come. f , A man who got hopelessly lost in the hush in South Australia resorted to an ingenious expedient for escaping from his dilemma. Alter wandering about for four days he decided to cut a telegraph line and camp on the spot. His plan worked. The telegraph repairers were sent out along the line to discover the cause of the interruption, and came upon the wandererin time to save his life. , George Hodges, of Brunswick, Ga., has secured two st ufled tish that are natural curiosities, the one a porcupine and the other a pincushion fish. The former is covered with' sharp thorns resembling porcupine quills. The latter is something of the shape and appearance of a duck, tho mouth being something of a bill and the fins something like wings. It is covered over thick with little fine needle points. A Hartford dog has been taught to wait at the gate for the postman and carry the mail into the house. The other morning there were no letters, and, as the carrier passed without stopping, the dog jumped from his place and got in the earners way. The man said a kindly word to tho brute and then started to walk ofT, but the dog barked as if for a letter, and, when tho latter was not handed over, bit the carrier. Frederick Mather, the well-known fish culturist, has been making some very interesting experiments with the microscope, which prove that there are 9.000,000 eggs in an cel. How and when these eggs are hatched has always been and still is a mysterv. All that is known detinitely is that the old eels run down to salt witer in October, and that in the spring hwanns of young ones, the size of a darning-needle and'about two inches long, ascend the rivers. Klectricity cut up some queer capers with a tree down in New Orleans. A guy cable was attached to the tree from an elec tric light. In some unaccountable way the' . 1 !il cable became crosscu wuu a live wire, ana on wet days electricity ran down tho former. Several times it set the tree a-fire, and eventually started ca blaze which destroyed that part of the tree above the wire. The trunk was examined, and its heart was found to have been entirely eaten out by the electricit3", leaving a mere shell. A new textile has been discovered in Russia on the borders of the Caspian sea. Tho plant is called kanaff by the natives, aud attains a height of ten feet. From it a chemist has obtained a textile matter which is Hoft. elastic and silkv. gives a thread which is very touch, and can be bleached without injury. The studs manufactured out of kanaff can be successfully dyed iu every shade of color, and would compete . . m 1 , ? - r t - with auv oi tne oruinary jiiruinmc materials rijw in use. But it is particularly . for makiug sacks, tarpaulin, 'ores, etc that this new textile, from its chcapne and its extraordinary, resisting pow er might defy all competition.

Ax ford, in Time, " - 1 The Kngtneer's Attachment for Ills Machine. Albany Journal. "It is curious," said a railroad man, yesterday, at the Albany depot, "how tirm is the attachment between a locomotive engineer and his locomotive. I know an engineer on the Central road who call his en-

pine Hank and talks to it a he drives through the raiuaudstorm just as be would to a horse, sometimes in sweet and mild tones and then with the strongest imprecations upon his lips. I know of another engineer who insists on sleeping in the roundhouse, near his locomotive, and tbluks as much of it almost as he does of his child. Engineers do not like to take out new locomotives. They prefer one that has been tried a year or two. They are afraid that the driving rods may break, and a brokeu driving-rod often sends its fragments through the cab, totho peril of the engineer and fireman. As a rule, therefore, new engines are run for a year or so with freight trains, and after they have become 'seasoned they are put upon passenger trains."' A3IONG THE UTES.

Some Indian Traditions Their Views of Future Life. Salt Lake nerald. A. O. Barhydt, post-trader at the Uintah Indian agency, in eastern Utah, was inalt Lake City recently, and told a reporter of many interesting traditions and superstitions among these Indians. He said: There is a certain place near the head of the Duchesne river that the Indians will not go near. It is a little valley through which the river runs, and, though there are hundreds of beavers in the stream at that point, nothinc can induce the Indians to go there to trap them. They say the place is 4 inhibited by a horrible mouster, half man and half beast, with all the powers of an evil spirit. An Indian will face death in any form before he will venture into this valley; the most violent death has no terrors for him as compared with this monster. When moving up and down the river they will go miles out of their way to avoid this place, and if one of them gets within a mile or two of the hellish vallev he imagines he hears the peculiar noiso that this monster is supposed to make, and he will Hy terrorstricKen until reaches what he considers a safe distance. L This superstition is supposed to have its origin in the Gila mouster, an overgrown lizard of the most clumsv, slimv, and repulsive appoarance, inhabiting tho (Jila river, in Avizoua. This monster, which actually exists, by the way. always had great terrors for the Indians, and it is supposed thai this was transported bv tradition to t'ae Duchesue river, and there enlarged upon until the monster of the tipper DuchesMie was evolved. The (Jte Indian has some idea of punish' ment hereafter for the misdeeds of his ifc. That is, he believes that a "goodln- , tin" will at death be admitted to the Jmppv iuu ting grounds and the enjoyment of afl ts pleasures, while the "bad" Injuu" will e. barred from them. . An Indian does not fear death, and ho has simple, sound logic upon which to base his indifference. He believes firmly, if ho has been a good man, that his condition will be bettered in the hereafter that death is merelv transition to a happier sphere. Why should Jie feart And herein lies a sermon for white men of great faith in a future happy existence. The Ute Indians bury their dead sometimes in coltins, but always rid led up in their blankets. In earlier ifavs they simply dug a hole in the ground and laid the dead man in it wrapped in his blankets, with his bow and arrow at his side. Over him was built a wigwam, and there be was left, without other covering, awaiting the coming of the Great Father iu the silent watches of the night, to carry him, blankets, bow aud all, to the realms of the happy hunting-ground. "Out of the Months of Babe." Philadelphia Press. The following is the rhyming criticism actually writteu by a twelve-year-old child of a well-known citizen of 'Philadelphia. Where the child heard of the story is a mystery: There was a young lady of letters; Fhe knew w much more than her betters; She once wrote a book called 'The Quick or the Dead' x A very bad novel which ev'ryone read; And when it was ltnished then ov'ryone said: What a very bad lady of letters.
