The New England indians.

The Penobscot Indians are among
the few relics Of the red men in New
England. They maintain their distinc-
tive traits and appearance, and although
their reservation Is surrounded by VII
lagos OF whito men and thriving farm
communities, they make very little pro-
gress in civilization. They are grad
ually melting away. For many years
they have occupied small island in the
Penobscot river, twelve miles above
Bangor, where they arc visited during
the summer by many curious travellers.
In the warm season parties OF them
rove about the country, camping near
cities and villages for many days,
making and selling baskets, slippers
and small fancy articles Of wood, in
which they are expert. But they never
apply themselves regularly TO agricul-
ture or numbering, which are SO uniyer-
sally the occupations Of the people in
their neighborhood. Some OF them
have exhibited considerable ingenuity
and ability in various ways. The Soc
calexis and Swassian families have long
been known throughout the State as the
representatives OF their tribe, and have
shown some shrewdness in their nego.
tiations at Augusta, where the tribal
delegate has about the same functions
as territorial delegate to Congress.
The Legislature, we believe, still con-
tinues its annual appropriation to the
tribe.
Although these Indians are idle and
lissolute in business affairs, they have
given remarkable evidence OF energy
and industry in the Rmusements in
which they indulge. They are expert
and exceedingly ambitious to gain ap-
plause in the use Of the birch canoe.
Many OF them have learned the games
OF the whites, For many years one Of
them used TO spend much OF his time
in Bangor playing checkers, and there
were few who could outplay him. He
was cool and uuexcitable, never quar-.
relied or complained when beaten, and
often won by what Is known in war as
"bull.dog tenacity" and stoical indifier.
ence to !he applause or disapproval Of
the spectators.
The day is not far distant when the
Penobscots will be known only in story.
The days when Molly Molasses and the
Joes and the Sochbesins used 10 go
about the streets Of Bangor with their
small wares and their jokes, will live in
the memory OF many when there shall
be no Penobscot tribe. Although it Is
apparently tho destiny Of the red man
TO die out before the march OF the white
man, in this case it may be truly said
that rum is their most formidable enc
my, for the Ponobscots are tho most
systematic violators Of the Maine law.

CHOLERA AND HOMEOPOTnY.

Homeopathy gained its first triumphs and
secured public recOgnition by its signal cures
of the Cholera in 1928. In every seoeeding
invasion it has maintained its reputation,
preventing and saving even when other sys-
TENS failed. No other treatment or system
can even approximate its splendid results.
Its mild doses seem TO act like magic, and
cure as no other medicine does. This is the
experience of more than forty years. DR..

new wood carpeting that is coming into
extensive use, as follows: THE fabric is
made of Stats or more ornamental shapes,
glued or cemented upon a cloth backing
The Stats or strips of wood are Of different
colors, and are arranged to produce all
the effects of tesseated floor, mosaic work
etc, and being about a quarter of an inch
in thickness, they will wear many years
They are finished in oil, and fit together
SO tightly that the joints are as perfect as
those in inlaid work The surface thus
produced can therefore be scrubbed,
washed and oiled when needed, precisely
like other floors made Of ornamental
woods, which floors they resemble in all
respects when laid.

Leigh Hunt thus beautifully portrays
the felicity enjoyed by a family by the
rearing of flowers, a pleasure which Is
within the reach of the humblest Of our
citizens. He says: Set flowers on your
table, whole nosegay if you can get it,
or but two or three, or single flower, a
rose, pink, daisy. Bring few daisies
or buttercups from your last field work,
and keep them alive in a little water;
preserve but bunch of clover, or a
handful Of towering grass, one OF the
most elegant of Natures productions,
and YOU have something on your table
that reminds you Of Gods creation, and
gives YOU a link with the poets that
have done it most honor. Put rose,
OF a lilly, or a violet, on your table, and
YOU and Lold Bacon have a custom IN
common, for this great and wise man was
in the habit Of having flowers in season
upon his table, we believe, morning, noon
and night that is to say, at all his meals,
seeing that they were growing all day
Now. here is IA fashion that will last you
forever, if you please-never change with
silks and yelvets, and silver forks, nor be
dependent on caprice, or some fine gentle
man or lady, who have nothing but ca
price and changes to give them Importance
and a sensation. Flowers on the morning
table are especially suited to them, They
look like the happy Weakening of creation ;
they bring the perfume of the breath OF
Nature into your room; they seem the
very representative and embodiment Of
the very smile of your home, the grace,
Of good morrow; proofs that some intel
lectual beauties are in ourselves or those
about Us, some Aurora (if we are Sc
lucky as to such companion) helping tC
strew our life with sweetness, or in our
selves some masculine wilderness not un
worthy to possess such a companion or un
likely to gain her.
