Agriculture in Indian TERRITORY.

~ From the journal of the fifth annual
session of the general council of tho In.
dian tribes of this territory we deduce
the following facts: -.s
The Cherokees cultivate $4,000 acres,
the Choctaws IS, 900, Muscogees SIS, 600,
and the Seminoles 10000. These are
the four largest tribes in the territory.
The productions are such as farmers OF
the west usually cultivate. They are
enlarging their farms, improving their
houses, and giving particular attention
to orchards. They are advancing in
wealth by tho increase OF, stock, both in
quality and numbers. ,.,
The six small tribes having reserva-
tions in the northwest corner of the
territory cultivate a total area of $500
acres. The Wyandots, who only num-
Der 275 souls, cultivate but ego acres
the Ottawas. 500; the Senecas, 600.
They are developing the farming inter
ests of tho country rapidly. They use
gang -plows, mowers and other agricul-
tural machinery. The Sacs and Foxes
have 600 acres; the Osages, 1000; and
the Affiliated Bands, made up of all
tribes, nearly, have about 1000 acres on
the extreme border. The report claims
that if these tribes are sustained in
their rights and privileges, that in few
years their agricultural department will
compare, fayorably with the states
bounding ON the territory.

Religious musical Expression.

On the most serious side of music,
the religious, the writer's of hymns, and
those who select sacred verse for col
lections of hymns, err often from ON ig-
forance or a disregard for the cardinal
truth as to the nature of music and it's
.capacity of expression. Three.fourths
of the hymns in our hymn books are un-
fit to be sung. Their motives are not
within the range ofsmusical @capability,
All doctrinal religious verse, all that is
narrative, in fine, all that is not emo
tional, giving rythmical utterance to
praise, or to prayer, or to some religious
feeling, is absolutely unfit for musical
treatment For example, ono very
sound and orthodox piece. of musical
verso / have often heard sung, but new
er without temptation to laughter. Tt

Now it is rs impossible to express, or to
illustrate, or to intensity the idea, in
those lines by n melody, rs it would be
to express by triple fngue of two short

n right-angled triangle is equal to the
sum of the squares described on the
other two sides. The thing is impossi-
BILE in the nature OF things; it can't be
done. The "Gloria in .excelsis +" is n
model OF writing for religious musical
expression. So are most OF the Psalms
chanted in the Episcopal service. Rich

The Agricultural Strike.

The great agricultural strike in Eng

virtual triumph for the farmers. 1t
was the largest that ever occurred,
both as to the numbers engaged and
the pecuniary resources of tho union by
which it was backed mp. 1t lastednear-
ly five months, during which time ev-
cry striker received nine shillings per
week, or about two dollars and a quar-
ter. Finally, however, the union fonnd
It's funds running low, and, as the farm
ers gave no signs of acceding to the de-
mands OF the strikers, and were con.
stantly filling their places with labor
ers from other quarters. they were at
last obliged to yield. Not all, howey-
or for, while many have gone back to
work at the old wages, many have pre-
ferred to seek other and distant fialda
of labor. The union still has some
means left, and is extending aid to such
as wish 20 migrate to Canada, so that
in this way the strike mny finally prove
beneficial to some of its participants.

Historic Scandals.

A remarkable feature of many his
t0rie scandals is, the unsatisfaetorys,and
dubious result of them. Does The
world yet know whether Mary, Queen
of Scots, was n, good woman or wanton t?
And has not Mr.. Froude's last volume
once more cast sserioua suspicion on
Eng1nnd's " VIRGIN Queen 2" VILE any
body ever know whether Napoleon .sII1.
was really q Bonaparte? Victor Hugo
hurled ut him the memorable apothegm,
" He is neither the son OF his father
nor the father of his sda;" but some
allowance must be made for the writer's
fierce democratic wrath. It is some
thousands of years since the association
OF Pericles and Aspasia, and we he.,
lieve that notwithstanding the intro
duction of the critical method in his
tory, scholars have not yet decided
whether their relations were platonic or
otherwise. The belief that Gen. Jack
son loved not wisely but too we'll the
wife of Gen. Eaton, his secretary of
war, was once very prevalent, but it
could show no very satisfactory grounds
for it's existence. The trial OF Queen
Caroline by the house of lords. wds, as
fierce M inquisition as was ever made
into the character of human being,
iyetit ia not known to this day whether
that pure and upright man, her hus-
band, had reason to find fault with ,,her
or not. The horrible Byron scandal, So
recently revived by Mrs. Stove, will
probably never be settled beyond
dispute.

WIFE AUCTION IN VIRosNIA.-The history
Of this Commonwealth commences with ar
auction sale--not, however, in a store, but be.
meath the green trees of jamestown, where
probably the most anxious and interested
crowd of auction hobitues ever known in the
history of the world were gathered. In a
letter, still to be seen, dated London Aug.
81, 1921, and directed to a worthy colonist Of
that settlement, the writer begins by saying
"We send you a shipment, one widow and
eleven maids, for wives of the people OF
Virginia. There hath been especial care in
the choice for them, for there hath not one of
them been received but upon good common
dations. In case they cannot be presently
married we desire that they may be put with
several householders that have wives until
they can be provided with husbands"
But the writer of this epistlc had little rea-
son to fear that any Of the "maidens fairo !"
would be left over. The archives contain evil
dence to prove that these first cargoes Of young
ladies were put UP at auction, and sold for
one hundred and twenty pounds Of tobacco
each, and it was ordered that this debt should
have precedence Of all others. The solitary
tone widow" went along with the others,
for they could not be particular in those days.
The good minister of the colony no doubt had
busy time that day. He did not mention
any fees, nor did the bridegrooms think of
rendering any. All was joy and gladncss no
storms ahead, no uneasiness for the future,
no inquisitive clerk to stand and say Here's
the license, fork over 81" Nothing Of that
sort. From some Of these couples the first
families of Virginia are descended, and well
may auctions be popular here. Richmond

ANOTHER BOZ THAT had 4 HATcHE7

A little boy having heard beautiful story
about little boy anu a hatchet, and how that
little boy wouldn't tell a lie, and in time, got
to be president of the United States, was very
much impressed by it. Now, it so happened
that on the last of March, he was Just ten
years old, and his father asked him what he
would like to have for birthday present
Very naturally the boys answer was ga
little hatchet, if you please, papa"
The father bought him little hatchet that
very day, and the boy was so delighted that
he actually took it to bed with him.
EARLY the next morning he got up, dressed
himself, took his little Ratchet, aud went out
into the garden. There, as luck would have
it, the first thing that caught his eye was his
fathers favorite cherry tree. "My eyes ~
exclaimed the little boy to himself, what a
time my father would make if fellow were
to cut that tree! !" It was wicked thought.
for it led him into temptation. There was
tree--tall, straight, and fair--standing invit-
ingly before him--jrst the thing for a sharp
little hatchet--strong, sharp, and shining
just the thing for favorite cherry tree In
another instant the swift strokes of the axe
was heard in the still morning air, and, before
long, small boy was seen running toward
the house. His father met him at the door,
My, boy, what noise was that heard just
now? Surely you have not been at my fa-
vorite cherry "
The boy stood proudly before him, but with
downcast eyes and flushing cheeks.
ssFather" he said, 81 cannot tell lie.
That cherry tree is -''
Say no MORE said the father, extending
his arms. "You have done wrong, my son I;

This o WAS t Ssn, much. The boy rushed Into
"Fathei ~ he whispered, "April fool
haven't touched the cherry tree /; but mos
chopped the old apple stump to pieces"
You young rascal you . cried the father
"Do you mean to say you haven't chopped
my cherry tree? Take off your coat, sir !! 2
With suppressed sob, the little boy
obeyed. Them shutting his eyes, he felt his
fathers hand descend upon his shrinking
form. "a
