THE WARM SPRING INDIANS.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
These Indians who have played SO inn
portant part in the Modoc wa-, are
seventy FIVE in number, composed of fifty
Warm Spring warriors, twenty three
Wascopums, one Walla- Walla and one
Unatilla. They are under the command
of Donald Mckay, the son of a we'll
known Scotch .furtrader by his Indian
wife. He is six feet high and well pro-
portioncd. and is intelligent, companion
able and of social disposition. He
speaks seven different dialects, thorough
~ understands the Indian character, and
is successful leader. This band resides
In the Warm Springs reservation. which
lies on the eastern base of the Cascade
mountains, with Mount Hood as the
northern and Mount Jefferson as the
southern corner post. 1t is bounded on
the North by the Mutton MOUNTAINS
about fifty miles south of the Columbia
river, and the east by the Gschuets riv-
er. In this reservation there is large
hot spring which bubbles up at the foot
of the wall of deep canon, through
which the mountain stream flows. This
hot spring furnishes q volume of water
that fills canal feet deep and IL feet
wide. The water is impregnated with
sulphur and is effective in curing rheuma-
tism and cutapeous disease. The Indi-
ans have their settlements near the
springs, although the United States
agency is ten miles south of this spot
In the Indian wars of 1856 the Warm
Spring band was among the hostile tribes
but, being conquered, they made peace,
and since that time have remained faith
full to their engagements. During the
war with the Snake Indians. General
Crook used company of them as scouts
and fighters. The band is accompanied
by two Christian missionaries, who every
Sunday hold religious services, attended
by most of the Indians, some still adhere
to the "Smohola" faith. This system
OF retgIon was made up by Smoholla
from what be could learn on the subject
from the Catholic and Protestant mis-
sionaries and from the Hudson Bay Com.

used to dream that the me was soon to
come when the white men would die of

whisky, to the red men, who would then

FOOD FOR BEES.

grains OF cream tartar; put all together,

feed in the hive. During the summer.
use but POUNDS of sugar. Italian bees
gather much larger stores of honey than
the black bees. Dzierzon, the great

perience, says the profits of his apiary
have been doubled since their iutroduc.

from the islands is also imposed. As 100
900 skins are imported yearly now to San
Francisco and New York, fruitful source
of revenue is obtained from these two
| barren rocks. This territorial enterprise
of the United States Is therefore a great
success. and will probably help to develop
the idea SO rapidly growing in America.

many national points of view.
GOLD IN ALASKA.
Alaska, it seems, has greater merits
than being a mere fog land, a land OF
snow, athletic Indians, dirty Russians,
and the greatest salmon fishing grounds
in the world. for now it is proven that
there is gold here. for the specimens sent
tn San Francisco have assayed $500 "a
the ton, but as there are no means for
crushing the quartz the actual value OF
the mines cannot be estimated. Sitka
has been decreasing in population O. late,
as there are no possible fields of business
open, whatever trading is done being IN
the hands of the Fur Company or suit
lers. Even the last vestige of authority
has left us l refer to the departure
of Bishop Johannes, of the Greek Church,
and all his deacons. They established
themselves in San Francisco, at the re-
quest of the Gar, who is interested in
having his faith represented on the West
ern slope. Another enterprise that has
lately sprung in to existence here is ship
building, and it promises to be Of some
importance in the future. Two small
crafts have been built for the local trade
at Kokiak, and larger vessels will be con.
structed henceforth for the San Francisco
trade. The timber which grows here is
admirably adapted to ship building, and
we have among us skilled Russian arti-
sans who seem to have most unaccount-
able attachment for the place. as they are
out of employment large portion of
their time. The fisheries are also open
to an enterprising man, for he has no
limit to the prosecution of the business
but the capital invested.

RECEIPT FOR KILLING POTATO Blu,

1t is claimed that something has been
discovered that will exterminate the po-
tato bug. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the extract of Mandrake root, which
is obtained by boiling the root down in a
common kettle. The ex,fact is sprinkied
over the potato vines, an it kills both
bugs and nits, while it in no manner in
jures the vines. 1t has been thoroughly
tested, and there is no sort of doubt as to
its virtue. The Mandrake. we under
stand. grows abundantiy in the woods
throughout the country.

THE SUN CHOLERA MIXTURE.

| THE SUN CHOLERA MIXTURE.
More than forty years ago, when it was
found that prevention for the Asiatic
cholera was easier than cure, the learned
doctors of both hemispheres drew up a
prescription, which was published tfuI
working people) in The New York Sun,
and took the name of 1.-THE Sun Cholera
Mixture. Our contemporary never lent
its name to better article. we have
seen it in constant use for nearly two
score years, and found it to be the best
remedy for looseness of the bowels ever
yet advised. 1t is to be commended for
several reasons. 1t is not to be mixed
with liquor and therefore will not be
used as an alcoholic beverage. It's IN

common people, and it will have no pre-

is in equal proportion to the others, and
it may. therefore, be compounded with

PRUNING.
The advantages of pruning have been
| questioned, but our tomatoes grow best
when aoeN pa7tned. Cut out all suckers,
and non bearing branches. Let in light
air, and sunshine. Most of the fruit
grows on the lower parts of the vines,
and there will be no loss by shortening
them; for nutrition will then flow to
fruit instead of making fibre.
SUPPORTING THE WHISPERING THE
| FRUIT CLEAN-TRAINING.
1t is sometimes thought well, an gar
den culture, to support the vines by
| brush or other refuse material, or by
training. which may be done by setting
poles II feet apart, the tops Eve feet out
OF the ground. Attach wires to them
horizontally. Thus the fruit is exposed
