Jim, who came from Mexico, is a wise bird. Just across the street lives | # dignified brown spaniel, who rejeices | in the name of “Curley,” To vary the monotony of a tong summer day, Jim will ‘lay himself out” to coven: the dog. First, he will whistle, using all the varying inflections usually held out to the dog kind. If this fails, he will call “Curlee, Curles, Curtee!” in his most dulcet tones, which usually | fetches the unwary animal. The meditative attitude which Jim assumes, as the panting dog rushes into sight, is equaled only by the in- quiring innocence of his expression. Presently, catching sight of the “green bird that talks,” Curly slinks disconsolately homeward, devoutly hoping that no one has seen him. A well-known professor of biology, Dr. Steere, of Michigan University, has been spending the summer at the Sandwich Islands for the purpose of collecting rare specimens. Shortly before his return, he was presented with a fine young parrot, that had learned only a few English expressions, and those mostly current slang picked up from sailors. On the home voyage he entrusted the bird to the care of a boy, who promised to see it well cared for. Like most other boys, his intentions were good but his judgment was at fault; for he hung the bird in a small, close room near the engine, ‘to keep it warm.” The next day the professor thought he would take a look at the parrot, and, accordingly, he was guided to the cage. What was his alarm and indig- nation to find the poor creature nearly dead with the heat. He took it to his state-room and made all the effort in his power to save it. After he had worked over the suffering bird for a few moments it slowly raised its head, looked at him solemnly and gasped: “I'd sell myself for acent.” A moment later and poor Poll, who had, pathetically enough, valued his condition aright, was dead.—Detrott Free Press. —_—__+ = —_—_ CHINESE CREMATION. A Sickening Spectacle Seen on the Road- side by a Traveler. The other day when riding into the city from the country I saw a strange sight indeed—let us call it cremation as practiced by the Chinese. On the occasion referred to, in the midst of so much that was beautiful, appeared a sight most lforrid and re- volting. Ona slight mound between the path and the lake lay a man upon his back. Round his head and the up- per part of his body a little wood and straw were placed, which, when I rode up, were already in a blaze. The burning was being superintended by one man only, whose courage I was told was ‘‘very great.” Although there were many passers-by, no one seemed to think much of what was going on. I rode nearer to make inquiries. The man, they said, was a Tartar, and he had only died the day before. Judg- ing by the appearance of what was left of him I should think he was between twenty and thirty years of age. It was truly an awful sight. Beginning at his head, the intention evi- dently was to burn him inch by inch to his toes. But, worst of all, the heat of the fire, combined with the intense heat of a noontide August sun, had caused his body to swell. Even from the path the dreadful state of the man’s body could be dis- tinctly seen. The only persons looking on in addition to the man, who, truly with ‘‘great courage,” was stirring up the fire, were two men anda boy, who, holding their noses, surveyed the scene from a distance. I ought to have mentioned that the man lay upon his back, with one arm raised, pointing to the clear, blue sky. I am told that when those so lately dead are exposed to the heat of the fire their muscles contract and their bodies assume all kinds of strange attitudes. Sometimes a man will be raised to almosta sitting posture. As the cremations are very frequent and generally on the same spot there would be little difficulty in bringing some of the offenders to justice and thus put an end to these in- human and barbarous spectacles.— Hang Chow Cor. North China News. el SS ve ane eee ES ce, Nee eer ee eens soo —At a Boston hotel the head waiter came out of the office and informed the learned and cultured clerk that a man was raising a disturbance because he could not have his accustomed seat at the table. “Go in again,” said the clerk. ‘and propitiate him in ¢sme way—lI leave it to you.” Back went } the waiter to the dissatisfied boarder and said: If you don’t like the way things is done here, you can get right out, or I'll propitiate you pretty quick.” | —--s___ —Americans will not feel sensitive because they are charged in a new En- glish book on America with “‘eccen- | tricities of diet, excess in smoking, | unhealthful heating of their houses ALASKAN TOTEMS. How the Tlinksts and Chilkats Commem- orate Ancestral Exploits. Among the most curious sights in Alaska are the Indian totems—tofty, carved posts, often thirty or forty feet high, of pine or cedar logs, sometimes four feet in diameter, inboriously wrought out to represent the ancestral erests and rude coat-of-arms of the | chiefe and wealthy men of the tribe. These totem posts are peculiar to the tribes of the Northwest coast, though something resembling them is found among the South Sea Islanders. One, and sometimes two, of these wooden pillars are erected in front of a chief's house, over which they tower and seem to keep watch and ward, like guardian renil. : The carving is grotesque and start- ling in its savage imagery. In addi- tion to distorted human faces, the heads of bears, ravens, frogs, wolves and beavers are frequently represented, rampant, or engaged in combat with eachother. Where there are two posts before a single house, the design is to celebrate the lineage of both the male and female heads of the household; or, in other words, to give the pedigree of both the chief and his squaw. The posts are thus literally genealogical trees, and are to be read from the top downward. Thus, the carved head of a chief at the head of a pillar over the head of a bear, which, in turn, isovera frog, while the frog is over an eagle, would record that this chief was de- scended from a family whose heraldic totem, or crest, was a bear, and that in the previous generation there had been an alliance with the frog family, and so on down the post. The setting up of the totem post was a social event of importance. It was ushered in by many pottaches (gifts), feasts, and the ceremonies peculiar to the Indians, and it will surprise no one to be told that the tyee (chief) who thus celebrated his pedi- gree, usually found the expenses mounting up to a large sum. As to the origin of the custom, little can be learned. Both the Tlinkat and Chilkat tribes, as also the Haidas of Queen Charlotte’s Islands have their totem posts, and the practice has not yet wholly ceased. At Fort Wrangell the writer was shown one raised so late as 1876. At the same village are also to be seen three rude log sarcophagi, each of which is surmounted by alarge carved figure representing the bear, the whale and the otter respectively. These heraldic beasts are, no doubt, the totems of the chiefs whose bodies are interred within. Certain students of Indian lore have attempted to es tablish an Indian mythology upon the evidence of these totem posts, associated wiih religious worship; but from all that can be learned, it seems more probable that the totem posts are merely a means of commemorating an- cestry and ancestral exploits. Con- sidered as an effort on the part of savages to establish genealogical records, they are interesting relics of aboriginal skill. Fac-similes of these totem posts are now wrought in slate stone, on a small scale, by the Haidas, and sold to Alaska tourists. Some of these toy totems are very beautifully executed, and make pretty bric-a-brac for mantel adornment. They are sold at prices ranging from five to twenty dollars each.— Youth's Companion. Every newspaper in the country which is, as the phrase goes, ‘“‘worth a libel suit,” knows by long experience that as the laws now stand in most of the States no matter how carefully a journal is edited it will have libel suits brought against it. The Herald tries its best to draw the line between ex- posure of public wrongs, which is the highest duty of a newspaper, and at- tacks on private character, which are inexcusable; and yet there is no year in which we are not threatened with ten or a dozen libel suits. There is a class of ‘‘shyster” lawyers who make it their business to annoy respectable newspapers in this way. They read the journals and where they imagine that a suit for libel will lie they run to the person concerned, magnify his wrong and urge his suit, offering to prosecute it for a share of the plunder. Of course in a great majority of cases such suits come to nothing. They have no justifying cause. But the shyster lawyer gets some money from his client, he annoys the newspaper and he makes his living.—N. ¥. Her- ald.
