The Indian and his Food.

Their taste being, in some respects,
rather obtuse, the flesh of which they
partake is not objected to, even though
it be too long since it was killed, or even
whether it was killed at all. Many a
buffalo calf, dying with its mother, is
thus served up. They have no idea of
being filthy in their habits, as who has {?
What if they did not wash their hands
before mixing the bread, or taking up
the meat? Meat is meat, and therefore,
clean. No matter if it has been carried
thirty or fifty miles, swinging and flop
ping upon the sides of mule, until COW
cred with dust, sweat and hair it needs
no washing, or at least gets none, before
before being put into the camp-kettle.
If the hair, boiled into strings and serv-
ed up with the beef, is unpalatable, it is
quietly taken out of the mouth and
thrown away. Hair is clean, dust is
clean. If dirt is, as has been defined,
matter out of place, there is none in an
Indian camp; for what can be out of
place where nothing has place? AS
might be expected of a people whose
subsistence depends upon the chase, they
are not particular as to the kind of meat
used, unless prescribed by "medicine."
The buffalo, antelope, or deer has the
preference If these cannot be obtained,
a pony or mule, dog or a wolf, sup
plies the deficiency; and even the poor
little land tortoise does not come amiss.
To the latter | became somewhat par
tial, from the fact that, being thrown
into the fire alive, and roasted with his
she'll on, there could none of their filth
be introduced. Do not consider this act
cruel. A tortoise thrown into hot fire
with his back down, never struggles, or
gives any indication of pain, but is ap-
parently dead Immediately, while he
would live for hours with his head sew
cred from his body. The Kiowas and
Comanches do not eat birds or fish, nei-
ther does the Kiowas eat the flesh of
the bear. They are forbidden in the
code of laws, as unclean l. tabooed or,
plain Indian, bad medicine" Hence
with them the wild turkey is valuable
only for its feathers, which they use to
wing their arrows. After meal, water
is always offered to all who have par
taken of it, to rinse the mouth and wash
the hands After this the pipe may be
in order, but not necessarily. If it be
introduced, the women withdraw and
some important subject is discussed.
The pipe is always circulated from one
to another, from the right toward the
left.-Battery.

Isn't it Worse for a Man, Father? /?

1t is two years since / left off the use
of tobacco. | certainly did enjoy my

vanas, and might have been seen almost
any morning with one in my mouth,
walking down to business and putting
away in most comfortable manner.
Why left off was this | had little
son about six years of age. He almost
always hurried to be ready to walk down
with me as far as his school. His bright
face and extended hand were always
welcome, and he bounded along beside
me, chatting, as such dear little fellows
can. The city has in it many uncared
for boys, whose chief delight seems to
be to pick up pieces of discarded cigars
and broken pipes, and with their hands
in their pockets, to puff away in a very
elegant manner. One morning it seemed
as if little Edgar and met great many
smokers. | became very much disgust
ed, and pointed them out to little Edgar
as sad warnings of youthful delinquency !;
talked quite largely, and said the au-
thorities ought to interfere and put
stop to such a public nuisance. A little
voice, soft and musical, came up to me.
as | gave an extra puff from my superb
Havana. A bright little face was up
turned, and the words, Isn't it worse
for a man, father :" came to my ears.
| looked down on the little fellow at my
side, when his timid eye fell and the col
or mounted on his boyish cheek as if he
had said something bold and uniting.

Edgar ?" / asked. "Please, father, |

if the men did not do it" Here was
the answer. threw away my cigar and

Brown PAPER AND HAVANA CIGARS.
1t is stated that not steamer leaves
New York for Havana that does not
take out from 2,00o to 5000 reams, or
in occasional instances as high as 30,-
900 reams of coarse brown wrap
ping paper. What this paper was used
for was a long time mystery; but it
has recently been revealed that it enters
into the manufacture of "pure Havana
cigars" 1t is said that when saturated
in the juice of tobacco stems the straw
paper makes filing almost equal, if not
superior, to the genuine leaf In fact,
it is sometimes impossible to detect the
delicate film of paper interlapped with
leaves in the finished cigar, or neatly
folding the exterior. For this purpose,
we are told, it serves admirably, the pa
per, under combustion, leaving no resi-
dun other than pure white ash. To
such refinement of art has this busi-
ness been carried that by the use of ma
chimes rolled over the sheet of paper an
almost perfect impression of the tobac-
co leaf is obtained, the peculiar spots
being printed as ON calico. Smokers of
Havana cigars will no doubt consume
their weed with an added zest after
learning of what it is probably compos-
ed.

A gem OF country home.
And queried with inward wonder.
Can il be that spot so fair
Bears aught but unfading beauties,
Can thorn be hidden here2
Can the waves Of life's restless ocean.
With its meanings, lonely and drear,
Have brought to this seeming safe haven,
Their burden Of wearying caref
Or has even earth one safe place.
Where death. and dark sin have no home.
And those who would flee from their power
Can here for refuge come?
But the question was answered, ere asked,
For / thought of the one Eden land,
Where, as Nature itself. was man pure,
As formed by Divine command.
And how in one hour had been blighted
All that was fair and good,
And man must forever suffer
The wrath, which that sin had incurred.
So here, in this fair mountain home,
By Nature so richly adorned,
The shadings of life roughly blent
With the sunshine and beauty. found.
The mirthful voices of childhood.
Ringing blithely out on the air,
Ginning in with tone of chiding.
We're borne TO my listening ear,
For these God-given treasures laboring
Unmurmuringly. day by day.
Looking on to the honor and joy
They might bring to them, by-and by.
In return for the years of toll.
And the hours of anxious care,
When each thought. and care. and labor.

Thus 1 saw this father and mother.
Living their noble life.
For the heavenly garner binding
Full many golden sheaf
And out in the mountain shadows.
Une tiny, moss grown mound,
Pointing ever from earth and its sorrow
To the better life, beyond.
Many summers had past many seeds
Of sorrow and care had been sown.
For the loved ones, who all too quickly
Had to man and womanhOod grown.
For now there were lonely rooms,
And vacant chairs by the hearth.
And the quiet was never more broken
With bursts of innocent mirth
The same happy brooks murmured past.
The fields all bout were as green.
And something to gladden. the eye
On every side might be seen.
But now, sitting ever alone,
The past re-living each day,
Still planning, and hoping, and praying,
For the dear ones gone away.
Those two, in the twilight of life,
Their noble work nobly done,
Sit waiting the Masters calling,

The reins that guide the world.
