wonder. Or a BrazlIlan Forest.

An English writer in Good Words
gives the following account of a
mornings visit to a Brazilian forest:
GAS we got into the skirt of the
forest the morning broke, but the
reyeille in a Brazilian forest is won
derfully different from the slow
creeping on of the dawn of a sum-
mer morning at home, to the music
Of two thrushes answering one
another's full rich notes from neigh
boring thorn trees. Suddenly a
yellow light spreads upward in the
east, the stars quickly fade and the
dark fringes of the forest and the
tall palms show out black against
the yellow sky, and, almost before
one has time to observe the change,
the sun has risen straight and fierce,
and the whole landscape is bathed
in the full light Of day. The woods,
so absolutely silent and still before,
break at once into noise and move
ment. Flocks of toucans flutter
and scream on the tops OF the high
est forest trees, hopelessly out CT
shot; the ear is pierced by the shrill
wild screeches of a little band of
macaws, (which fly flaring past like
the rapped-up ghost of the birds on
some gaudy old brocade.
There is no warbling, no song,
only harsh noises and abrupt calls.
Now and then a set of cries more
varied and more dissonant than
usual tell US that a troop of mon
keys are passing across from tree to
tree among the higher branches,
and lower sounds, to which ones
attention is called by the guide, in
dicate to his pracliced ear the
neighborhoods of a sloth, or some
other of the few mammals which
inhabit the forests of tropical South
American. And all the insects are
now awake and adding their various
notes to swell the general din. A
butterfly Of the gorgeous genus
Morpho, come Auttering along the
path like a loosely folded sheet of
bright blue tinSel, flashing brilliant
reflections in the sunshine; great
dark blue shining bees fly past with
loud hum; tree bugs in the most
singular harlequin eoloring of scar
lot and blue and yellow, with a me-
tallic sheen, cluster round a branch
so thickly as to weigh it down, and
make their presence perceptible
yards offby their peculiar and some
times not unpleasant odor. But
how weak it is to say that that ex-
quisite little cplibri, whirring and
glittering in the air over that branch
Of bignnnia bells and sucking the
nectar from them with its long
curved bill, has a head of ruby and
. breast of emerald and wings of
sapphire, as if any triumph Of the
jewelers. art could eyer'vie in bril-,
liapoy with that sparkling epitome
of life and beautV."

Jurisdiction OF the Interior Department, deserved
prominence is given in the message to the lndian
question The necessity Of keeping good fath WIN
the Indians is strongly emphasized. The hrst
step toward civillzing the Indians recommended Is
the encouragement of hunting by allowing to them
only limited supply Of arms and ammunition ana
persuadng them to exchange their ponies for cattle
This it is believed will destroy or subdue their war
like spirit As fast as the Indians give up hunt
ing the President thinks they should be placed
on a smaller number of reservations and taught
agriculture and cattle raising; in teaching them thS
arts of peace attention should be paid to the natuI"
tastes of the Indians and those who prefer cattle
raising to farming should be allowed TO choose tner
occupation. For the protection of the INDIANS
the extension of the jurisdiction OF the
United States Courts and an Indian police
composed of Indians recommended. The COM
pulsory education of Indian children is also recon-
mended. The farms supported by the Government
the President says should be used for the instruction
of youth in the schools and the farmers should visit
the farms managed by the Indians themselve and give
dian labor alone is recommended The Investigations
into the conduct of Indian affairs which have been
made by the present Secretary of the Interior are
referred TO and the good results Of them mentioned
Legislation providing for the more certain discoy-
cry and prevention of abuses III the Indian ser
vice is called for.
The message contains paragraphs In regard 10 the
affairs of the District Of Columbia, agriculture and
the Wash Ton monument recommending the com,
pletiOn of the latter; also paragraphs on seNeral
other subjects OF less Importance.
