LIZZIE'S CHOICE, _Lter, a black-eyed, ourly-lieaded, roguish--faced girl of seventeen, who worked in one of the hig Kensington factories, walked into the kitchen, swing ing her dinner basket in her hand and humming a lively tune. “Yes, dear mother, it is I,” said the girl, and she kissed the wrinkled face of the hard-worked woman. “I ’m glad you’ve come,” said Mrs, Kane, glancing admiringly down into her daughter’s pretty face. \Mr. Mer cer is in the front room. He’s been waiting for you for about two hours, and Lizzie,” sinking her voice, “he had a long talk with your father, in which he said that he loved you and wanted to make you his wife.

And he repeated: \Who takes up the two thousand \ I do,” cried Gastambide with an ex uberant gesture. The next day about 7 o’clock in the evening, when the boulevards swarmed with people and tho restaurants began to fill up, a shabby wretch made his way through the crowd with bent bead and watchful gaze, picking up, hero and there, the cigar ends that others threw The man was still young, and had evidently fallen from a higher rank, to judge from the distinction of his pal^ refined face, his patrician hands, his general bearing. \Very tall and thin, he must once have been an elegant figure in society.

A CANONIZED INDIAN CHIEF OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. le GouTeyed n Tract o f Land in Pennsyl vania to Wmiani Penn and Was Highly Esteemed by the Whites Durlnx the Revolutionary Period. The chief whose name has been thus monized by, and perpetuated' race which supplanted his lost celebrated and illus queerly oano among the r own, was the most celebrated and il trious in the whole history of the Dela wares, though leas is definitely known of him than of Teedynsoung, who was their great man in tho middle of tho eighteenth century, a t the time of the French and Indian war and the various troubles in Pennsylvania consequent upon it. Tammany or Tamanend, lived in tho middle of the seventeenth century, and well toward its close; but that was the period merely of the beginning of tho W'hite occupation of Pennsylvania. Thus ho was far less known to the colonists— less observed by them than was his fol lower iu the line of succession, Teedy- uscung. Perhaps his reputation for ability and virtue rests more upon tho white man’s ignorance than his knowl edge of him, and tho fact that ho was held to be so good and great an Indian may be explained by that other fact that ho was a long time and thoroughly dead .Indian at the time public attention was called to him. His fame rested upon ludiau tradition rather than extensive acquaintance of the whites with him, but, nevertheless, the pioneers of Penn sylvania, among thorn the Proprietor of the Province, actually saw and con versed with.him. In lf)S3 Tammany and a less; affixed their hieroglyphioal signa to a deed conveying to 'William P; tractract of landnd inn Bucksr County, beL ' I tho Neshaitaminy ler chief latures t of la i B the Pennypack and creeks. It is traditionally assorted that th* greater part of his life was spent in tho territory now constituting the State of Delaware, ond that assumption contains the elements of probability, because in the time of his early life at least, that was the region of the greatest Lenni Lenape population. There seems rea son to believe also that at a later period he had his home in the lonely region of the Upper Delaware, on the west bank of the riyer in what is now Damasons Township, Wayne County, Pa., to W'hich portion of the valley, together with the opposite bottoms where is now Cochecton, N, Y., the Indians had given the name Cushutunk. It was round about the site of tho present village of Damascus upon tho bank of the Delaware that the first Con necticut settlers in Pennsylvania located - themselves in 1757 (antedating \Wyom ing by several years.) It is significant that to this locality tho Yankee settlers who wore destined to make much trouble for the Pennamites, gave the name “ St. Tammany Flats ” and that some years later the name of the famous chief, in its canonized form, to a Ma- lonic lodge which they organized. Tammany is not only claimed by Pennsylvania in life but in death, for support tho there is made with some support statement that the grand sachem buried not far from a springring (ass was sp (a w a im), three or four itters are ii leral fact ri common Indian custom miles west of Doylestov While soma of these volved in obscurity the general fact re mains clear and unanswerable that ho was a groat man in the estimation of his own people, and by some process be came almost revered by the whites dur ing the Kovolutionary period.

His favorite motto was “ Unite in peace for happiness, in war for de fence.” Heck welder, who simply sums up the Indian traditions of his oharao- ter, says : “ He was in the highest de gree endowed with wisdom, virtue, prudence, charity, affability, meekness, hospitality—in short, with every good and noble qualification that a human being may possess.” A German doctor has started a theory that most drunkards can be cured by a very simple and pleasant course of treatment, namely, by eating apples at every meal Apples, Dr. Tuplett maintains, if eaten in large quantities, possess properties which entirely do away with the craving that all con firmed drunkards have for drink. The doctor says that in many bad cases which have come under his notice ha has been able to effect a cure by this^ moans, tho patient gradually losing bis desire for alcohol. ^
