From tho Great Fipcstono Quarry. There is much to indicate that tho In dians for many generations havo highly prized tho pipestone for tho manufacture of their pipes, and that it lias been ex tensively used by tho red man for pipo sculpture throughout North America. Chips of tho stone, beads, arrow points, hatchets and pipes of this material havo been taken from graves, mauds and wells, even plowed up from Can, in tho various states, from Massachusetts to Georgia. Tho Dakota Indians employ seventy-five different patterns in as many materials, but tho calumet is the ono venerated. Mr. Edwin A. Barber says: "Tho fact that this stono has been taken from Indian graves in the state of New York, and that others wero found on an ancient site of a villago in Georgia, at opposito points, 1,200 miles from tho pipcstono quarry in Minnesota, reveals tho great extent of intercommunication which formerly existed among this North American people. Thero is certainly strong presumptive evidence that tho stone of tho Cotcau dcs Prairies has been used for centuries, and perhaps n much longer time.”—Helen Strong Thompson in American Magazine. Wiiut Constitutes it XtlolHle? Few people understand what consti tutes u blonde. Every iadv with light hair is not a blonde. The word wo got from tho French. The adverb blondo, on tho authority of Clark, tho eminent philologist, is defined as meaning fuir, light or flaxen, referring to any object, whereas Simraonds describes a blondo ns being "a woman of fair complexion.” These definitions nro given in Worcester’s dictionary. If you will give tho matter a moment’s thought, you will recall how many ladies havo light hair and dark complexions. I venturo to (jay that in all the galaxy of beauty at the Veiled Prophets' ball thero wero not fifty ladies who' came up to tho strict requirements of flaxen hair and absolutely fuir com plexion.—Georgo H. Small in Globo- Dcmocrat. Superstition Ttifo Todtiv. Pcoplo nro wont to boast of tlio en lightenment of this ago and laugh nt tho superstitions of their forefathers. But it is quite safo to snv that superstition is ns rifo today as it over was, tho only differ ence being that now people are ashamed to acknowledge their weaknesses. Said a real estate man: "Thero is nothing whicli gives a building a lasting black eye quicker than a re|>ort that it is or was haunted. Tho slamming of a door, tho rattling of a window, tho knocking down of a tin pan by pussy cat are all tho work of ghosts in such buildings. And tho worst of it is that pcoplo nro just as afraid of a new building erected on tho sito of a haunted one as they nro of tho haunted ono itself.”-—Buffalo Express. Tho Mother In China* In motherhood alono docs tho Chlneso woman find protection and honor. Yet even hero Cliincso customs and laws nro peculiar, and even grotesque. A mother can claim absolute obedicnco from her children, even when they nro gray headed and themselves fathers of families, but she is still only a servant and a drudge to her husband. In,the < cent >-r her death, her sons must .1 y'.t'hiiie . law, wear mourning, and go ; ' uui wh . unshaven heads for a himi.ni! da; . t at her hus band would rem!''! !:in . mi object of ridicule among h* .. nils if be put on mourning for her.- ■Cluster Holcombe in Youth’s Companion.

Tho Hawaiian! Disappearing. • The native Hawaiians aro said to be disappearing very rapidly, and it will not lie long before the rr.co is extinct. Their language Is still quite generally spoken, but as English is tho languago of tho court the native dialect is bound to fall into decadence.—New York Evening World.. BEAUTIFUL CREOLE GIRLS. Many Perfect Blondes Among Thera Con tradict a General Belief! Wo aro not hidebound nor narrow minded in our admiration for female beauty. Tho fair and tho dark, the blondes and brunettes, all havo tljeir special charms and admirablo points. Besides tho beauty of feature and color thero is also a spiritual and intellectual beauty which is quite as potent ns tho other. In tho presence of a puro and lovely soul or a sparkling intellect and a delighting disposition, one may lio so completely enchanted ns to bo utterly blind to material things. But whatever may be our liberality in matters of lovo nnd admiration for tho beautiful sox, and wo recognize their claims without regard to the etunological or geogrnph ical limits, wo are bound to reservo a special homage for our own southern women, and we are moved to this by the following tributo to Louisiana beauty. It was contributed to The Bovco (Rapides parish) Headlight by one who signs herself a “Cano River Girl.” This is her verdict: "Many of our northern friends picture all creoles with dark, swarthy skins, hair black as tho raven’s wing nnd eyes of ebon darkness. Now, this is altogether an erroneous fancy. Why, somo of tho girls have lily whito complexions, golden locks and eves of heaven’s own blue! In the Iittlo villago where I livo there are four sisters, all of tho purest blonde type, nnd it would be difficult to find anywhere in tho wido world fairer, sweeter, lovelier mnidens than they. Whenever I read of ‘the dark skinned croolo’ a smilo crosses my faco, and I wish tho readers’ eyes could rest upon my ‘rosebud garden of girls.’ "As I writo tlicso lines a dainty crcolo maiden enters my presence. Shu lias come, like a gleam of sunshine athwart a murky sky, to clmse away tho clouds whicli sometimes surround me; and truly 6he is n fair vision to gnzo upon, sitting where tho sun shines full upon her, re vealing tiio glint of gold in her wavy brown hair, which ripples above a broad, fair brow. Her pearly cheeks aro slightly tinged by tho sun’s kisses, and her eyes of ‘passionless, peaceful blue,’ are gazing tenderly tqion me, utterly unconscious of licr own picturesque loveliness. The mind of this gentle girl is as puro mid blight ns her face. Altogether she is ono of earth’s fairest flowers. I have lived among tho creoles nearly all my life, but I am not one of them. I am what they call ‘on American.’ Why that term should not be applied to them is a mystery which I cannot solve. I havo a penchant for creole girls. They nro usually dainty nnd refined, sensitive and sympathetic, light hearted and sunny tempered. Then the murks-of deferenco they pny to old ago is truly something to be admired, and might well be imitated by many of my American sisters. A creole girl rarely ever sullies her lips with that slang which is so generally used nowadays. She is usually reared in seclusion, and her tlays glide by peace fully nnd tranquilly. This tranquillity is seldom disturixxl by a storm cloud. Slio is content to remain at home, where there is nlwnyB a wide field of notion, and ‘do her duty ill that state of life unto which it shall plcaso God to call her.' There are many either fine char istics which the crcolo girl jKissesses, and I regret that I have not time to mention > Tho Dingo and the Kangaroo, We had just rolled up our blanket!, after camping out, preparatory to mak ing up the flro and putting thy billies on to boil, when we heard tho heavy thud of a kangaroo leaping rapidly fa a neigh boring scrub. "It was the work of a moment,” as tho old fashion^! novelists used to say, to get out our revolvers on tho clinnco of a shot; but wo paused to watch an interesting sight A'dingo was stealing swiftly along the edge of tho scrub, parallel to the course pf the kan garoo, and in ordinary circuinstances a leaden messenger would have been promptly sent after him, with all tho more probability of stopping him, as ho paused occasionally to listen; but pcssiblo kangaroo steak was just then uppermost in our minds. In n minute or two tho kangaroo suddenly broke from the open country, and the dingo, for whom hq was evidently unprepared, made a splen did dash nnd pinned the marsupial by the shoulder. Almost instantly after ward a second dingo, who had no doubt been driving the game toward his com panion, ruslied out of the scrub nnd took the kangaroo on tho opposite side. In spite of tho poor beast’s violent bounds hither and thither, ho soon rolled over, and in an astonishingly short time tho dingoes had put an end to his struggles. Au Exploit** nioro Destructive* Vet. W. T. Chamberlain, an American en gineer residing in London, paid a visit to Woolwich in connection with a new explosive whicli be is introducing to tho war department He is the inventor of tho newest and most powerful explosive known, namely, clilorino of nitrogen, whose destructive effect! ore terrible in the extreme, a very small quantity doing infinitely more damage than a much larger amount of any other explosive in use. It is very sensitive, a very slight concussion causing it to explode. Ha lias more than once been injured and in danger of being blown to pieces, but kept at it, determined to conquer 6r dio in the attempt. Ho has completed a method of* charg ing or filling shells and projectiles with clilorino nitrogen so .that they /nay bp fired from a gun using powder with per fect safety. Military men competent to judge in regard to tho invention declare it to he one of tho most remarkable in ventions of tho age, and aro of tho opinion that if any country had tho mo nopoly of this invention it could defy tho wholo world. Tho invention, it is thought, .will causo a complete change or revolution in warfare, while for blast ing or mining purposes it will probably never ho equaled. Mr. Chamberlain has ANGEL8 UNAWARES.

Malmaison, the famous chateau of the ill fated Josephine do Bcauharnais, is simply going by piecemeal to the dogs, or rather to the rats, and it has been ad mirably suggested that the place should bo converted into a museum containing historical relics of tho- first empire. In tho beginning of tho present summer Malmaison was offered for solo at an upset price Of £10,000, but no bidder could be found. The park is now let out in small lots to builders, and Iiideous villas are rising around tho chateau.
