GENERAL CROOK A Comrade's Reminiscences of the 1 Indian Fighter. fa His Characteristic the General Wai More of an Indian Than the Indian Stronc Resemblance to Daniel Boone. At the date of which I am now writing, says Capt. Bourke in the course of an article in the Century, Gen. Crook was an ideal soldier in every sense.

He stood about six feet in his stockings, was straight as an arrow, broad shouldered, lithe, sinewy as a cat, and able to bear any amount of any kind of fatigue. It mattered not under what guise vicissitude and privation came, they never seemed to affect him. Hunger and thirst, rain or sunshine, snow and cold, the climbing up or down of rugged, slippery mountains, or the monotonous march, day after day, along deserts bristling with spines of the Spanish bayonet, mescal, and palo placid equanimity was never disturbed in the slightest degree. He was at that period of his life fond of taking his rifle and wandering off on his trusty mule alone in the mountains. At sunset he would picket his animal to a mesquit bush near grass, make a little fire, cook some of the game he had killed, erect a small "wind-break" of brush and flat stones such as the Indians make, cut an armful of twigs for a bed, wrap himself up in his blanket, and Bleep till the first peep of dawn.

"You ask me to tell you abouj Indians," said an old Apache chief whom I was boring about some ethnological to the Nantan (the Chief- Crook's name abbreviated); he'll tell you. He's more of an Indian than I am." But Crook did not go on "tizwin" sprees like an Apache; he never touched in any form unless it might toe something prescribed by a physician; in a room" while making a-search, actually sent a message by an outsider to the city attorney, who lived two miles away, asking him if lie had authority to break out of the room. The attorney was wroth at being disturbed at an untimely hour in the night, and sent word to tear out of the house. Thereupon the brilliant officer broke out and arrested the man who locked him in. price of seal-skins all over the world depends on the auction sales of these furs which take place in London twice each year.

At the October sale of the present season, prices were nearly doubled, because, while the demand has rapidly increased, the supply has diminished. The great Jv orth American Co. offered only' twenty-one thousand skins for sale this year, and buyers from the large European cities and from New York bid heavily because the demands of their customers compelled them to do so. old soldier of the Massachusetts Thirty-fifth regiment gives the following advice regarding cold feet: "At one time while I was stamping upon the ground, in the effort to warm my extremities, a comrade in the same regiment said to me: 'If your feet are cold try He raised his foot from the ground, and struck some light blows with his hand on the upper part of his leg, just above the knee. I did the same with both legs, and instantaneously felt a flow of warm blood coursing downward, and the feet soon became comfortably warm." origin of the name "America" has recently been discussed by the Geographical society of Berlin.

Some held that it comes from a range of mountains in Central America called by the natives Amerique, and that Vespucci was not called Amerigo, as it is not a name in the saint calendar of Italy. They asserted that he changed his name from Alberigo to Amerigo after the latter was coming into use as a name for the western world. Signor Govi, however, has proved that Alberico, in the Florentine language, is identical with Amerigo, and a letter of Vespucci, dated 1500, found recently in the archives of the chike of G-onzaga at Mantua, shows that he. sometimes subscribed himself Moreover, the natives call the mountains Amerisque, not Amerique, so that the question may be considered settled in favor of the personal came. US' it I I i I I 'pie never drank coffee, and rarely tasted Milk was his favorite beverage when, he could get it, and pure water Iwhen he could not.

His personal appearance was impres- but without the slightest sugges- jtion of the pompous and overdressed 'military man; he was plain as an old stick, and looked more like an honest country squire than the commander of a warlike expedition. He had blue-gray Jeyes, quick and penetrating in glance, a finely chiseled Roman nose, a firm and yet kindly mouth, a well-arched head, a good brow, and a general expression of indomitable resolution, honest purpose, sagacity, and good intentions. He had an aversion to wearing uniform and to glitter and filigree of the military profession. He was essentially a man 'of action and. spoke but little and to the point, tut was fond of listening to ithe conversation of others.

He was at all times accessible to the humblest soldier the poorest prospector," without ever losing a certain dignity repelled familiarity but had no 'semblance of haughtiness. He never andindulged in no equivocal language. Probably no officer of equal rank in -our army, issued fewer orders or letters of instructions.

Burbidge tells of another spider, black, yellow, spotted, and measuring' six or even eight inches across the extended leg-s, which spins silk of the thickness of ordinary sewing- cotton. Thoug-h nothing- is said about the sociability of this creature or of the spiders of Ceylon, it seems within the bounds of possibility that at no very distant date spider silk may become a recognized material in textile market. Perhaps the enormous success which Mr. Lister made of alpaca may be emulated by some one who manages to acclimatize these silk-producing spiders. Magazine.

How Many Putt's Does an Engine Give The number of puft's given by a locomotive depends upon the circumference of its driving wheels and their speed. No matter what the rate of speed may be, for every one round of the driving wheels a locomotive will give 4 pufls out of each cylinder, the cylinders being- double. The sizes of driving wheels vary, some being 18, 19, 20 and even 22 feet in circumference, though they are generally made in or about 20. The express speed varies from 54 to 58 miles an hour. Taking the average circumference of the driving wheel to be 20 the speed per hour 50 miles, a locomotive will give, going at express speed, 880 puffs per minute, or 52,800 puffs per hour, the wheels revolving 13,200 times in sixty minutes, giving 1,050 puffs per -mile.

Therefore, an express going from London to Liverpool, a distance of miles, will throw out 213,043 puffs before arriving at its destination. During the tourist season of 1SSS the journey from London to Edinburgh was accomplished in less than eight hours, the distance being 401 giving a speed throughout of 50 miles an hour. A locomotive of an express train from London to Edinburgh, subject to the above conditions, will give 423,450 News. CHILD BIRTH MADE EASY!

Far from'devouring- one another, after the voracious manner of their European relatives, these spiders live in little communities apparently on the best of terms. They are of enormous size. and spin a yellowish web, the threads of which are fully as thick as ordinary silk. The size and strength-of these webs are shown by the following-statement made by Dr. Walsh: "In passing through an opening between some trees I felt my head entangled in some obstruction, and on withdrawing- it my light straw hat re- behind.

When I looked up I saw it suspended in the air entangled in the meshes of an immense cobweb, which was, drawn like a veil of thick gauze across the opening-, and was expanded from to branch of the opposite trees as large as a sheet ten or twelve feet in diameter." The doctor's account of the huge web spun by this spider has been confirmed by the observations of other travelers, one of whom states that he Has seen a single web which completely enveloped a large lemon tree. Spider silk such as this is produced in other parts of the world besides Brazil. Speaking- of the spiders in Ceylon, 'Sir J. E. Tennant says: "Their webs, stretched from tree to tree, are so strong- as to cause a painful check against the face when moving-quickly against them, and more than once in riding-1 have had my hat lifted off by a single thread."

Frank Baker, Judge of the Circuit Court oi Cook County, says: "In some respects it is a vast improvement over the English Brilannica. The English edition contains no biographies of eminent Americans or Englishmen now living, and the biographies of those who are dead are less These deficiencies are remedied in the Americanized edition, making it art invaluable compcnd of facts absolutely essential to historical I consider it a most valuable book in any way you look at it. For the" man who wantsja book of reference for use I consider it invaluable. It is also a. marvel of cheapness and an indispensable auxilary to every library." Lyman J.

Gage, President World's Columbian Exposition And vice president of the First National-. Bank, "The movement inaugurated to supoly the people with, the Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica is a marked indication of an advance in the intellectual taste of the community. QUnder jihe easy conditions of purchase of work it ought to be in however humble." From the Chicago Herald: "The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is a magnificent and valuable possession for every household." It presents for the first time a complete reference library at a price and on terms within reach of every family." From Colonel Geo. Davis, Directo'' of the "World's Fair: "The.work is. a most praiseworthy, undertaking-.

Any legitimate method by are'presented an opportunity for the at a cost of works of standard literature or works of importance as the- means of acquiring a practical and substantial education deserves the fullest possible recognition. The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica appears to have met the requirements, in all respects. I commend the work with, pleasure." E. St. John, General Manager of the Rock Island Rail- Road System, Expresses his conclusions in the following direct and emphatic languages "The remarkable enterprise in offering; to the public on terms so inviting a work of such merit as the'Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica can but result in benefit to every person securing it.

The Encyclopaedia needs no commendation. Every page speaks for itself and attests its value." From the St. Louis Republic: "The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is not the Encyclopaedia Britannica in its old form, but the Encyclopedia Britannica Americanized and so Americanized to make it a thousand-fold more valuable to American Readers than the English edition." Colonel Sexton, Postmaster of Chicago, says: "I think it is a valuable addition to the publications of the year. One feature of the book must suggest itself to all is, the comprehensive manner in which the topics are presented. Instead of being- obliged to read through, a column of matter to get at the gist of the subject the latter is presented in detail in the most condensed, concise and presentable from the start.
