"PICNICn LENCIiEnNS.

Perhaps the hard times are RESPONSE
bic for form OF entertainment which
started by accident, but which is fast
becoming very popu ar among certain
professional, or what may be termed the
higher middle class OF women, the wives
and daughters OF professional men.
The picnic lunch is particularly in ia,
yor with occupants OF apartment
houses, and is found to be charming
method Of enjoying the society of lady
friends without much care or expense
TO the hostess. The number invited
never exceeds dozen, ana each one
contributes some one OF the essentials
OF a modest yet dainty midday meal
The hostess herself provides the piece de
resistance, in the shape OF trioasse cuIcA-
en- win mushrooms, fried oysters, or
dish OF outlets in curl-papers.
The guests bring box OF bis
cuts, bottle of olives, a
loaf or basket of cake, dish OF fruit, a
game pie, a box Of sardines, q lar of
pickles, a Loaf of bread, a little pot OF
Philadelphia butter, or mold ol Jelly or
Charlotte Russo, according to their
tastes or inclInations. The hostess also
supplies the hot GrinkabIes, which only
consist OF tea, coffee, or chocolate; !;
ana the rule is that no one guest shall
KNOW What any other person Is to con-
tribute, SO that whatever fun can grow
out OF the chance of duplicate ar
tieles Of provision may be thoroughly
enjoyed. The oldest C0ntreteneps OF this
kind happened on recent occasion,
wnen nine ladies took pickles. The
hostess, however, was equal to the &C.
casion. and though the pickles figured
on every available spot on the taDle ii
was otherwise immediately and bounti.
fully lurnished.-lNewport Letter.

This is no quack nOstrum, but the
prescription of a regular and successful
city physician of extensive practice and
regulations; the prescription has been
used for some years IN our own families
with inVariable success.
Every family should have bottle OF
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose Of only a lew drops in the
early stage OF these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find tAi,
q valuable article. The Yials are small
and strong, and can be carried without
Inconvenience.
During the late war it was given to
many Of our friends and volunteers in
the army, VINO were suffering from Diar.
rhea, caused by change of water, un.
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, ana we recon-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned

less about religion or hostile to Quaker
ideas and traditions; the system OF dis
owning members for slight deviations
from "the unwritten law" in such tri1ling
matters as dress and language, but, more
important still, for marrying outside the
Friends; the silent meetings, which were
very rare in the early history Of the sect,
and absence of singing and reading the
Scriptures in public. 1t is hard to con-
ceive, indeed, how Christian body can
exist without some regular provision
tor religious teaching; and the fact that
one OF the greatest secessiUns from lis
ranks arose out of the persistent refusal
to supply larger religious instruction
seems to point to the inevitable eXtlnc-
ton of Qlakerism at no distant day.

SOME CURIOUS SQUIRRELS.

The st. Louis RepuOIIcau says: can
odd squirrel was exposed for sale, with
othels sent to the st. Louis market, the
Oddity consisting in the fact that the
animal was jet black below, while of the
color OF the ordinary tox-squirrel upon
the back and the upper half of the sides
and tail. Mr.. Bates, the taXidermist, an
experienced naturalist, recognized the
squirrel, not as cross between the
black and fox squirrel as was supposed,
but as dlstnct variety, found occa-
sionally in Illinois, though, 80 far as
known, a rarity in any locality. He has
one single specimen ia his collection.
1t was first classified as u distinct VA
rIety by the naturalist Prince Paul, OF
Wurtemberg, VINO visited this country
some years ago, and whose reputation
as a scientist is deservedly high. The
animal is named the 'bIaok-Dellied squir-
rel,' SCl4ruS mel llnQgdSper. Iflhe black
bellieu squirrel Was not so exceptional
as was al tirst supposed, though, squi4 =
rel shown by Mr. Bates certainly was.
A lew days ago an item appeared in the
Alton newspapers TO the effect that
some spoTtsIn en- Ia the vicinity had sho t
a White squirrel, auu this exquisite ami
NAL Mr.. Bates has just stuffed ana
mounted. 1t is large fox squirrel in
every thing except its color, winch is as
white as snow, flowing tail and all. The
specimen is that OF a perfect AlDlno, and
is something beautiful. A somewhat
similar squirrel, and even more OF an
oddity in The collection, is a large fox
squirrel, killed some time ago, the under
part of which is OF the ordinary color,
while the back is a pure white. This
specimen, though not so beautiful, is
quue as much OF an oadity as the one
lately killed near Alton"

THE TEACHERS OYERUOAT.

The Boston Commonwealth relates
this school anecuote: "Francis Gard.
ner, the late head master Of the Boston
Laun School, was noted for his economy
OF wearing apparel, upon which he
prided himself, and frequently lectured
The boys on the folly OF extravaganza in
that direction. Oue day he came into
the recitation room of a lower class, his
well-worn oVei coal 1apping at his heels,
as usual. The LADS, ali vi whom had JUS t
reached their teens, looked up from
their books to see what was coming,

THE LAST INDIAN.

Without our Indians we would be
lost. When we grow weary OF our fnan-
cial problems and the political situation
becomes stale and unpalatable we may
turn with a sigh or relief to our noble
saVages, who are ever ready 10 enter
tain US with their vigorous antios. So
have they furnished us with diversion
for 10, these many years, and 30 they re-
lieved the tedium of our forefathers'
lives in those early days when horse
racing was IN its infancy and base ball
had mot yet bloomed into q national
game,
But after all, our supply of Indians is
not likely to hold out, and it would be
we'll for US to prepare ourselves by slow
degrees for that melancholy time when
we shall have no more Indians. 1t may
not come In our day and generation, but
either our children or our children's
children are destined to see the dag
when the last noble red man, pursued
by some future Howard and the United
States army shall turn a handspring
from towering cliff and disappear for
ever in the waves Of the Pacific.
Two centuries ago, as we are in
formed by some statis sticlan who was
probably there to count them, the abo-
rigiDes in this country numbered
nearly three million, but. they have
been reduced, principally by means of
gunpOwder and whisky, to about two
hundred and seventy-nine thousand,
which number includes all the Indians
IN all the States and Terr tories, includ-
ing Alaska. These have been classi ed
by the Indian Commissioners under
four separate heads. The first class,
numbering ninety eight thousand, con-
sists OF the Indians, simon-pure, who
do all the fighting end make it hot
for our soldiers SO long as the Govern
ment keeps them properly supplied with
arms and ammunition. The second
class includes the hall-ciyllized savages,
who keep in bounds greater part of the
time, and only vacate their reservations
when they are spelling for fight. They
number about filty-two thousand souls.
The third class comprises the good Indi-
ans, who wear hats and pantaIoons, and
make sorry attempt at the cultivation
OF their lands. OF these there are over
one hundred and fifteen thousand, fully
One.fourth of whom can read and write.
The fourth division embraces the beg
carly element, and consists Of about fonr-
teen thousand ragged Indians who gain

WILL THERE BE NO MORE OUAkERS,

Mr.. Barclay informs us that there are
at present only seventeen thousand
Qlakers in England and Wales,

thousand, and Luat their greatest
losses took place In the period
OF their greatest moral triumphs. Was

ging or hunting. In due course of time
our troops may annihilate the first class;
disease may destroy the second and
third, and whisky exterminate the
fourth, but there is life enough in them
yet to keep them going for some time to
come, and 1t is hardly probable that the
white man now lives who shall write
the epitaph of the last Indian.
