THE INDIANS.
Are They Dying Oun


1t has been popular theory ever
since the settlement of the country,
that, IS the white race spread west.
ward, the native Indian would, ir
the same ratio, disappear that the
progress of civilization on one side
meant extermination on the other
This theory has not been compli-
mentary to civilization, whose fret
object in the case should be to ame-
iiorate rather than destroy, but, new
ertheless, it seems to have been ac-
cepted as true. Singularly enough,
statistics do not bear it out, or at
least the determination is too allow
to be regarded as fixing the red
mans destiny.
A pamphlet lately prepared by Ma
jor $. N. Clark, of the Bureau of
Education, Washington, contains q
compilation OF official figures, from
which it appears that the popular
notion, that the Indian population is
bound TO decline and die out as the
result of contact with white civiliza.
ton, must be greatly modified, if
not abandoned altogether. The
early estimates of the number of
Indians in our territory were based
on insufficient date, the Secretary of
War in 1889 putting it at only TO-
900. In 1920 Mr.. Morse's report
made the number 471,036; but it
was not until 1850 that the first ap.
proximate estimate was made, when
Scheolcrait reported 388. 229. In
1855 the report of the Indian Office
gave GA, 622 1860, 254, 300; 1865,
294,574; Census report of 1870, 3d.
712; Indian Office report, 1876, 291,-
1872. The fluctuations are consider
able, the figures for the twenty-five
years showing some decrease, but
by no means enough to justify an
DIFFERENTIATION" theory. In the
case of the Iroquois tribe, of which
quite trustworthy historical data
have been prese rved, Mr.. Clark con-
cludes that it has increased rather
than declined, and that after exper-
fencing "almost every test that can
pc appned TO the vitality OF people
emerging from barb rism into civ
ilization."
IF these statistics take US some
what by surprise, they will also be
read with satisfaction. 1t would be
little to our credit or the credit of
civilization, to have history read in
the future that the white man oc-
cupied this continent only at the
expense of the red man, that the two
races were antagonistic, and that a
people Boosting of Christian line
age and of Christian principles could
only settle the Indian question by
forcing the Indian out of existence.
Major Clark shows that the aborig-
ines have an unexpected amount of
vitality. They still live in good
numbers.

Evenings at Home.

1t is we'll for the women of the
household to remember that the
pleasant evenings at home are strong
antldotes to the practice Of looking
for enjoyment abroad, and seeking
for pleasure in by and forbidden
places, for relaxation and recreation
will be INDUCED in somehow by most
men, and happy are they who find
in the home circle the diversion they
need. A lively game, an interesting
book read aloud, or in musical famil-
les, new song to be practiced, will
make an evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the
day, little pulling at wires that
need not appear, will make the whole
thing appear easy, and different
ways and means may be prepared
for making the evening hours pass
pleasantly, and in a time to be look
ed forward to with pleasant antici-
pations.
We visited once large family
whore it was the duty of each sister,
in turn, to provide the evenings oc
cupation, and there was q pleasan'
rivalry between them as to whose
evening should be the n ost eDjoya-
BILE. The brothers entered freely
into the spirit OF the simple home
entertainments, and we're as 10th to
be obliged to spend an evening away
from home as their sisters and par
ents were sorry to have them abb
sent. Every one spoke of this FAM
lily as an uncommonly united one,
for each and every member showed
such strong attachment for the
home to which each one contributed
so much pleasure.

Rising With the Lark.

Investigations made DIV French
ornithologist as TO the habits ofbirds
have entirely destroyed the lark's
reputation for early rising. As a
matter of fact he is quite lazy bird,
and does not rise until long after
chafinches, linnets, etc., have had
their breakfast. We, are informed
that the earliest riser is the green
finch which gets up from his
downy nest and sings at the early
hour of half.past one O'Clock in the
morning. Next, at halfpast two.
the blackcap begins. and half an
hour later the quail presents itself.
Then, an hour later, the first real
songster, the biackbird, makes it's
appearance. At half past four the
thrush is heard to sing. The
robin is heard shortly after, followed
by the wren. Then, to conclude our
list, the house,sparrow and tomtit
appear to warn u.s., by their merry
twitter, of the approaching day.

TRUE kindness must often set i'm :
pulse aside and seem to sacrifice it,
self for the time that it may eventu-
ally justify its own principles. Would
we be truly mercifnl, we must con.
slider the contingencies that may
rest upon our impnlsive kindness. If
to please one individual we sacrifice
the happiness of twenty, or incur
serious risk of doing so, we are cruel
in our benevolence. If to relieve

woe in the future, we are most nm.
mereiful. If we would be truly gem
erous we must be thoughtful, reflect
i've, far seeing. Kind impulses and
sympathetic emotions are never
to be trampled upon, but only raised
to higher eminence, where more
extended view will reveal TO them
wider sphere of action. The old
adage, "be just before you are gem
erous,'' only goes half way. We
would rather say, "be just that you
may be truly generous, sad be gem
erous that you may be truly just. p

A bright-eyed lass in Carlisle, Ky

bought two years ago, The hair SIM
ply covered the neck, but IL has
grown out until now it reaches be-
low the waist 1t, looks, like human
hair, and is fastened to the linen
with wax and glued to the head.
The growth of the hair is explained
BY the theory that the flamenis have

The story left an impress on the

when it died. The mother went TO
the vicar. the Rev. A. AtkinsI q, to
arrange for the funeral, but to her
astonishmeDt he refused to bury the
child. Why !? Because il had not
been babtized. The poor woman
she was married-applied to one and
then to another to assist her to bury
her child with some sort Of cere-
mony, but she was unable to get
any competent person to read the
service She then got a hole dug "a
the cemetery at night when it was
pitch dark and raining, and she and
her friend took the child to the hole
and dropped it in. Alack ! there did
not seem TO be any room for that
little one.
