Afraid of Becoming Witches.

Maj. POWELL says, in his forthcoming
book: The life Of an Indian maiden is
blithe and merry for few years, but
when she becomes a wife she is soon
broken down with the heavy labors which
fall to her lot, and she soon becomes
wrinkled, garrulous, cross, scolding; in
fact, an old hag. Of course such hays
are not pleasant company in camp, and
in the belief Of the Numa such old hays
grow uglier and meaner until they dry
up and whirlwinds carry them away,
when they are transformed into witches /;
and lest such a fate should befall old
women, they are taught that it is their
duty to die when no longer needed, and
if they do not die by natural means in a
reasonable time they must commit sui
eide. This they seem willing TO do
rather than to meet that terrible fate of
being transformed into witches and be.
ing compelled to live in snake-skins and
wriggle about among the rocks, their
only delight being to repeat the words of
passers-by in mockery. I once saw three
old women thus voluntarily starving
themselves. | rode up to what was al
most a deserted camp, the three old
women only remaining, sitting by the
fire and intently gazing into the embers
They seemed to heed not my approach
but sat there mumbling and groaning IN
til they rose, each dragging up her
weight with staff, and then they joined
in sidewise, shutting, senile dance
around the fire, propped by their stats,
and singing doleful song; having fin
ished which they sat down again on
their heels, and gazed into the fire, and ]
rode away. On coming to the new camp
of the tribe the next day and inQuiring
Of Chui-at-an um-peak, their chief, why
these women were left behind, and what
they were doing, l was informed they
had determined to commit suicide, fear
ing lest they should be transformed into
witches.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-06-10

collecting, it is to your interest to keep
this information to yourself, and not put
it in possession Of a clerk who may leave
you tomorrow.
Winding ones own business means also
to be thoroughly posted about that bust
ness. Every branch of trade has its own
journal to-day, and the merchant, be he
retailer or wholesaler, who neglects to
avail himself of these helps is not avery
farseeing man.
And ifyou are careful to attend to your
own and not to your neighbours business
you will not be requested to indorse for
him, and if you are requested you will
not have much difficulty in saying no.
Let no feeling of friendship tempt you to
incur the chance Of failure, just because
you dislike to refuse. The man who
asks you to indorse will not be hurt by a
refusal One-tenth part as much as you
fancy he will. He has been debating in
his own mind whether you will refuse OF
not, and is as much prepared for the one
as the other The fact that he needs an
indorser is very good evidence that you
should not indorse for him. Don't allow
the plea that " it is only form" to affect
you. You may find that it is very
binding " FORM" and one that you cannot
escape from.
Why should you risk your own success
merely to oblige man who is nothing
but an acquaintance? 1t is worse than
foolishness; it is crime. l heartily re-
| echo Mr.. Brooks rule: If man wants
to succeed as a merchant, let him mind
his own business-10 Ied0 Blade

Too Near a Windmill.

A WINDMILL is a very pretty, pictur-
esque object sitting up on a high bluff
with it's figure outlined against the sky
tanning itself on a warm evening. The
farther off it is within the range of Wis
ion the prettier. Geo. Wells, wealthy
citizen of Monona County, Iowa, lives
next door to very high windmill. Mr..
Wells has little eight-year-old daugh-
ter, whose curiosity the monster wind
mill excited. She wanted to get the
nearest possible view of it, so she
climbed and climbed, and never thought
how far above the ground she was get
ting. That evening when her father
came home from a journey to neigh
boring town his little pet daughter did
not run out to the gate to meet him as
usual, and at this he wondered. He
feared something must be the matter
with her, but was not left long in doubt,
for little musical voice which he well
knew came to him from afar, and it
seemed from on high. 1t was as if an
angel had spoken, and the father was
almost afraid to look up lest he should
see his darling daughter floating away
from him on angelic wings. But he did
look in the direction of the sound, and,
to his CONSERVATION, beheld his lit
tie girl away up on the side of the
windmill, standing on a ladder just
under the vanes, and evidently at
some loss how to get down. The top of
the ladder looked not much wider than
the tines of a table fork, and ship
would have occasioned her fall of 112
feet to the ground. The huge vanes
were revolving rapidly enough to make
one dizzy, just above her tiny head.
The father summoned all his presence
of mind and treated the situation lightly.
He shouted to his child Bravo" to give
her confidence A CHEEKY little " Hur-
rah" came down from above. The faith
er then shouted: "Nellie, haven't you
got it about ixed?" Oh, yes, papa"
came floating from the dizzy height.
"Well, then, come down, dear" The
child commenced the descent. 1t was a
critical moment. A few rounds Of the
ladder made would give her confidence.
The father stood breathless as nearly
under his child as he could get, thinking
he might save her if she were to lose her
grasp and footing. She made it in safe
ty, and acknowledged she was just lit
tie bit scared away up there toward
heaven, and nobody near to pull her in.

to go so near the windmill again, and
especially not to make herself little
tomboy by climbing ladders.

kind to intrude upon his premises, and
whenever they show themselves they
must be very strong birds indeed not to
be attacked by this jealous defender of
his rights. The following little history
is taken from Hardwicke's Science GOSSIP
for September, 1871:
"a little redbreast has come to our
door all through the winter for his meals,
and most friendly, welcome guest he
has been. One spring morning we saw
Robin do deed Of charity that more
than ever endeared the little bird to our
hearts. 1t had been a bitterly cold
night, and on our servant going down
stairs to fetch some coal to light the fires
she found poor little starting shlvering
and frightened in the cellar. She called
me to see the bird; it had only just left
the nest, and it was so weak that it could
not fly. | tried to coax it to eat, took it
near the fire, offered it bread-crumbs,
seeds, water; but no-the startling would
not be tempted.
Breakfast-time came, and with it the
little Robin We thought that if we put
the wee birdie out of doors its mother
might come to look for her lost child;
then came the fear of Robin-he was so
very pugnacious. Well, we risked it,
| keeping very strict watch over the
starling's safety. Robin eyed it for a
moment and flew away; still the little
baby bird stood on one leg shivering,
and no mother arrived. The moments
seemed hours. Presently Robin came
flying back and with something in his
beak, too. Hop, hop, he came to where
the wee baby starting was shivering, and
popped a worm in its beak, which it
opened, just as if Robin had said, open
your mouth-here is some breakfast
and away he flew, and again returned
with some food to the young bird, and
then they both flew away. We never
saw the startling again, but good little
Robins deed made him more loved than
ever in the house"
| am rather glad to have the oppOrtu-
nifty of making known these examples of
sympathy between animals, because |
have received communications from per-
sons who really appreciate the moral ca
pacities of the lower animals, but who
cannot bring themselves to believe that
they feel any sympathy with each 9th
