day not long ago the surveyor SAW that
Tiger was asleep near the edge of 3

fun with him So the surveyor shouted
out, Catch him, Tiger; at him, old dog
and jumped into the thicket, as II
a deer, or at least a rabbit, had
been seen. Tiger of course, went
bounding and barking in, but very soon
returned with his tail between his legs,
seeing what a trick had been PLAYED up.
on him. Now comes the good part OF
the story. Tiger made believe that he was
going to sleep again. In absnt three hours
he all at once sprang mp, set his ears and
eyes in the direction of the thIcket, gave
a loud bark and leaped forward The
surveyor followed, thinking Tiger had
found some game. When Tiger saw his
master parting the bushes curiously, he
gave peculiar "Ah woOh," and went
back to his sleeping place wagging his
tail, and satisfied that he had paid the
surveyor back for fooling him.

According TO the British Trade Jour
nal, India is one of the greatest wheat
growing countries in the world, ranking
second only to the United States. 1t is
said that wheat may be successfully
raised all over India, from the foot of the
Himilayas to near the southern point of
the peninsula. On account of certain
climatic advantages the valuable soft
white variety flourlshes there better than
IN Russia and the greater portion of
America. Our contemporary places the
wheat product of all India at 81, 000, 900
quarters annually, and remarks that, if
more attention were given To its prepare
ton for market, which might be done by
the introduction of modern machinery,
East Indian wheat could successfully
compete with Russian and American In

CHIEF OuRAY's HOME.

Considerable interest has of late been
aroused in the Ute Indians in Colorado,
and few facts about their head chief,
Ouray, who is an exceptional Indian,
and his manner of life, will be interest
ing. Ouray has had built FOR HIM at
his place, about ten miles from the Los
Pinos agency, on the Uncompahgre
river, by the government, an adobe
house, thirty by forty, furnished in good
style with American furniture and car
pets. He has farm of 800 acres in
closed and over sixty acres under Guilt
walton, in hay, vegetables and grain.
The work is done by Indians and Next
can retainers. His wife takes an active
interest in the farm work and does her
share of the outdoor labor. He has a
herd of 200 horses and mules, some of
them very fine animals; in addition to
which he has some cattle and several
bands of sheep and goats. His buildings
are quite extensive, consisting of
ipgs, stables, corrals, granaries,
etc He has a fine family carriage, one
of the best that could be purchased, d
present from governor Ed. McCook,
which, with stylish team and Mexican
driver, makes a conspicuous turnout.
The farm operations and business enter
prises of Ouray have been very success
full, and prove him to be shrewd, COM
petent business man. 1t is the opinion
of all who know anything about him
that he desires to adopt entirely the hab-
its and life Of the whites, and to cut
loose from Indian customs, but the in
nate love of power and prominence
makes him cling to his leadership or
chIeftainship with tenacious grasp.
During the council it was observed by
general Hatch that Ouray was born
leader, and exhibited diplomatic talent
of a high order in managing his unruly
subjects and dealing with every point
and question advanced by the commits
sion. His age is about fOrty-five and he
has but one wife and child.

A HERITAGE OF RUIN.

A generation ago there lived in a
western city wealthy English gentle
man, who was what is aalled high
liver" He drank his tOddy in the
morning, washed down his lunch with
champagne, and finished bottle of port
for his dinner, just as he had done in
England. though he complained that
heavy wines disagreed with him here,
owing to the climate.
He died of govt at fifty, leaving four
SONS. One of these was an epileptic 4;
two died from drinking. Good fell
lows" generous, witty. honorable young
men, but before middle age miserable
sots.
The oldest of the brothers was man
of fixed business habits, occupying a
leading place in the community from his
keen Intelligence, integrity and ire
proachable morals. He watched over
his brothers, laid them in their graves,
and never ceased to denounce the vice
that had ruined them.
When he was long past middle age,
financial trouble brought him into 2 low
nervous condition for which wine was
prescribed. He drank but one bottle.
Shortly after. his affairs were righted
and his health and spirits returned.
But after this time it was observed that
once or twice year he mysterIously
disappeared for a month or six weeks.
Neither his partner, wife nor children
knew where he went. He continued to
occupy the foremost position of trust in
his native town; but at last, when he
was an old headed man, his wife
was telegraphed from an obscure neigh
boring village, where she found him dy'

the habit of hiding there when the desire
for liquor had became maddening, and
when there ne drank like brute.
1t is a recognized physiological fact
that in many families dypsomania is
hereditary as consumption is in others

almost invariably receive from them

THE ART OF GOING AWAY.

1t has been said that one of the most
immport social accomplishments is that
of entering a room gracefully, but TO our
mind that of leaving one easily and
judiciously is to be preferred. 1t is
painful to see people beat a retreat from
a call or visit, and yet apparently as un-
able to escape as rats in II trap, although
nothing bars their egress and all persons
concerned would gladly dispense of their
company. The art OF conscience of de-
parture, both from localities and posi-
lions, is worth studying, in great as well
as little matters. TOiunderstand when to
bring to an end a morning call or pub
lie career requires, in a lesser or greater
degree, the exercise of the same faculty.
No visitor is likely to be
popular who has not the
tact to leave at proper time house at
which he may be staying. One of the
greatest difficulties in bidding farewell
to host is to convey to HIM the inn
preston that you have enjoyed yourself
Expressions of thanks for Il pleasant visit
are apt to have a stereotyped and con
ventiOnal ring about them. A hospita
bic man likes TO know that his friends
have been happy, but when each of them
mutters sort of little grace on his de
parture, he feels that they are but paying
him an ordinary social compliment, for
he knows that they thank their entertain
ers whenever they go as regularly as they
tip the servants. Indeed, we once heard
of an absent and nervous man who, as he
was getting into the carriage which was
tn convey him to the station, inadvert
emily tipped his host and thanked the
butler for his pleasant visit.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

Horace Greedy was of the opinion that
there should be no law for the collection
Of debts; that if man permitted anoth-
or to become indebted TO him, such in
debtedness should be looked upon as a
matter of honor, and there should be no
way of compelling its payment. 1t is
perhaps an idea of more practical char
acter than we should be apt to consider
it upon first thought. Gamblers are Ger
tainly not more honorable in a general
way than other men, aud yet gambling
debts are paid with great punctuality,
simply because they are looked up
on as debts of honor. Put man upon
his honor, and he will frequently do that
which all the laws in christendom
could not compel him to do. But the main
benefit to be derived if Mr.. Greeley's
idea was adopted, would be the curtail-
ing of the present pernicious habit of
general credit giving. There is no rea-
son why, in these days when there is
money in abundance for all its demands,
business should not be conducted on a
strictly cash system. Men should not
go into the mercantile business unless
they have sufficient money to pay for the
necessary stock of goods, aud these goods
should be sold for cash only. Credit in
selling necessitates credit in buying, and
vice versa; but if the system of payment
in cash for all value received, be it labor
or goods, purchased or otherwise, were
once generally adopted, one of the great
est evils of the times, and the source of
the troubles that annoy us, would be
abated.
A load of debt is like a milestone
around the neck of young man. Run
ming in debt is the easiest thing in the
world, and running out again the hard
e.
immersed In debt at the outset of their
business career are ever able to get their
heads above water again. But the young
man who adopts the policy of never buy
ing anything unless he has the money in
his pocket to pay for it, will be almost
sure TO acquire wealth.
In England the credit system is abused
to-a much greater extent than in this
country, and the trouble engendered is
said to be frequently very serious in its
consequences. There credit Is invited by
the tradesmen, who are generally men of
large means, and induce trade by the offer
of extended terms of payment. Bills
are allowed to run two or three years be-
fore being presented for payment, and if
the parties are known to have financial
ability they are frequently extended
along for a number of years, every in
ducement being held out In the
meantime to have them swelled to the
largest proportions. When the inevita-
BILE day of payment at last arrives, a seri-
Gus catastrophe IS frequently the result.
We like the system prevalent IN China
very much better. There every man
must pay up his debts at the beginning
of the year, and also at time of relig.
ious festival, about the middle of the
year. If he is unable to settle at these
! times, his business stops until his debts
are paid. If we cannot conduct business
strictly upon the cash system, it would
perhaps be a good thing to adopt the
Chinese system.
