thing called the Millennium. They are
sadly mistaken, and here is a tribe Of In
dians in Northwestern California TO prove It.
This tribe is devoutly superstitious in its re-
ligious ideas, ardently believing in final resur-
rection and in prophets, particularly when
their prophecies are pleasing. They are
quiet and honest people, unused to civilized
crimes and unacquainted with their punish
ment. Therefore, when in the summer Of
e. red warrior, pct-narned Jim" was sent
TO prison al San Quentin for small eccen-
tricity in housebreaking, they failed to under
!, stand the arrangement, and innocently sup
posed that death was the cause of his long
absence. When his term Of five years in
prisonment was ended, this ingenious gen
tleman returned to his scarcely sorrowing
friends, and. finding what Impression pre-
vailed in regard to him, did his best to con-
? firm il. He had been dead, he mildly said,
and for five years had INDUCED in the luxu-
ries Of the spirit-and and more than this,
he had been ordered to return with these
delightful messages to his people: that al
their departed friends were shortly to appear
again 10 The body; that the whites we're i'm
medately to be turned into stone, and all
their possessions left for Indian delectatou
Consequently, the prophet Jim" observed
that they needn't make any further provision
for the future. All these picturesque an
nOuncements the Indians implicitly believed
and three months ago they stopped all their
labors, began to eat mp everything they had
stored, and to spend their time in religious
dances, and things of that sort. The prophet
declared that in 4 month the spirit would
arrive, and for fonr weeks his followers ioy-
fully kept up their sacred polkas and the
killing of their devoted chickens. At the end
of that time the disemboded not having ap-
peared, he remarked that il was the barking
Of the dogs which DELAYED that blessed con.
summation whereupon all the dogs Of the
tribe were given over TO dire murder. Still
another "noon" went its way with the
prophecy unfulfllled, and this time the crow
ing and cackling of the chickens was said by
the spiritual "Jim'' to he the cause Of tie
failure. The remaining cacklers Of the tribe
were instantly put to death. The singing
and the dancing continued, but the faith Of
the dancers began 10 wayer, and they mani
tested an intention of malevolently entreating
the prophet if, ut the close of the third month,
the millennium was still aiar OH. BY this
time that precious person is undoubtedly ex-
hibiling his glowing genius in some other
sphere than that Of the IIoOpah Valley.
THE SITE FOR \ IoUsE.-The position of
a house affects very much its sanitary value
how il fronts, where it stands, and what
are its surroundings. The rooms most used
should he where they can receive the direct
rays of the sun nj all seasons. sunshine IN
the rooms is Just as salutary as sunshine ia
the heart. Better let the carpet fade and the
flies come in than keep out the sunlight. A
house that has no sunshine will be half the
time a hospital, and a bad hospital, too,
where there is more malady than cure.
healthy home will not be placed where any
thing Obstructs the light. As a general rule,
we may say that no tree ought to stand within
fifteen feet of house, and no shrubbery that
will make any of the rooms dark, or damp, or
dismal. There are reasons OF health, not less
than of beauty, why house should not be
hidden by grove, and why lawn with
flowers is more satisfactory than clunps OF
pine or cedar \ dry site for a house, too, Is
of the utmost mpOrtancc-that there be no
marsh before the windows no stagnant pools
around the doorway. The margin OF a pool
is not the proper site for The dwelling of &
prudent man, however il may suit such
genius as Thoreau. The best landscape is
not fair equivalent for the danger of ma-
laria. The good spirit, the spirit of sound
ness and health, chooses dry and light places,
and finds the air there very genial and quick
ening. -Erehange.
RUSSIAN PEASANT WoMEN. Within doors
the peasant women are quite as busy as the
men without; indeed, they often share in the
work Of the fields. They pull and dress the
flax. They spin, and weave, and bleach the
linen. They bake and brew and put up pre-
serves and cordials Of the wild fruit; or o.
the raspberries and black curants, that, with
little care, will grow in almost every gar
den. They make coarse wooden cloth and
felt for rugs, and winter boots and mittsns'
They knit stockings. They fashion the sheep
skins in shoubas. They hernstitch the ENDS
of towels and tablccloths, and work them
with iiaN-thread in various patterns, and IN
sh them with knotted fringe or with lace OF
their own make--patient dIudges--often the
real saints of the calendar-but these reeos-
nitions and rewards are not of this world
Occasionally one is seen with an exQuisiteiS
