shake OF the tail. The coyotes despond-
emily peers into the hole, rakes away the
dirt with paw, and shifts at the lost
meal. He gets his eye on another dog,
and crawls toward tho hole like q cat upoD
the mouse. The warning bark is again
heard, and second meal disappears. In
furiatcd by his disappointment, the wolf
frequently turns upon the little sentry, and
for u few seconds makes the sand fly from
the entrance Of his residence. Worn out
ny his futile efforts, he tlattcns himself up
on the sand behind the hole, and motion
less as statue, watches 1t for hours. If
the dog pops out his head he is gone. The
wolf springs upon him, the jaws come to-
gether like the snap of a trap, and the
helpless canine is turned into a succuent

10 hunter, was riding across dog town
some. years, ago when he saw what he sup.
posed to be dead coyote stretched out at
one OF the holes. He dlsmounted and lifted
1t by the tail, intending to take the body
TO camp and skin 1t. The coyote made a
snap for his leg, wriggled from his grasp,

experienced young dogs caught wander
ing from home. Whole families enjoying
the cool evening breeze on the mounds
above the burrows are taken unawarcs,
and the tender young snapped up before
their parents can force them under the
ground.
The Indians say that the wolf has no
home. Hc follows the buffalo, and is ever
sklrmlshing or the edge of the herd. In
dcfatigablc in the chase, he pursues bis
prey for days without sleep lie catches
his nap In the sunlight, and does tho bulk
OF his work at night. Like the Indian,
whom he resembles in many characteris-
tics, he never declines an invitation to
dinner. A great glutton he stutfs hims elf
until his paunch ie distendcd like a blad-
der, and in this cond ition ie often run down
and lassocd by the cowboys OH ordinary
ponies. Some of the Southern tribes Of
Indians never slay wolf. They have a
superstition that when they die their
spirits roam the prairics In the guisc of
wolves. "Who Stays wolf may slay his
brother" is an Indian provcrb.

Indigo Ira ctory.

Havc you ever thought what indigo is,
and where it comes from2 Near the CITY
of Alahabad, in India. our missionaries
may see the little indigo plant growing, and
the factory where our indigo ia prepared
for use. The following account of the pre-
paration of the indigo from the plant was
given by the proprietor to one who travelled
in that country: 1t is the young shoots of
the humble plant you see before you which
provide us with the precious materials for
dycing, and not the flowers, as is common
~ supposed. The gathering of these shoots
Is very delicate operation. When they
have arrived at proper degree of matur-
lty, they must be speedily removed, and
each cutting must be executed with rapid
ity and during the night, for the sun would
WiCher the branches, and deprive them Of
their properties. We therefore require a
great many hands; all the villagers on my
estate are placec in rcquisition. The work.
mon are dispersed in the fields at midnight;
and in the morning the produce of the
harvest Is deposited In these stone troughs,
which have been previously filled with
water. Then Is the time for the sun to
perform its part. Under the influence Of
It's rays the substances undergo q species
OF fermentation; the water becomes color
ca with variegatcd tinges, and rapidly turns
blue. After space of about forty eight
hours, the liquid Is drawn off from the
smallest troughs. 1t now cmits slightly
amnioniacal smell, and the color is almost
black. 1t is allowed to evap0rate again,
and is then placed in metal vats, heated by
steam, in which, when the evaporation has
ceased, deposit Of pure indigo is formed.
1t only remains to dry this deposit, pack it,
and send it to the market at Calcutta.

Japanese Winter sports.

The most of our young readers think of
Asatic counties as warm, because India,
with which VIC arc best acquainted, has 10
winter like ours. But Japan has genuine
winter, with snow and ice. And tho
Japanese children indulge in the same
kind Of winter sports as arc common in
this country. A reccn, visitor from Eng
land saw many fine image made by
the boy, with pieces of charcoal for eyes,
and charcoal streak for tho mouth. lie
also looked On at many boys battle with
snow-balls,, and concluded that they had
better tempers than the boys in England
and none of them seemed to get angry
though hit often and hard. Their shoes
don't get wet like ours, as they are made
of wood, three inches high, but when the
snow Is deep their feet are wet and cold,
as there Is no upper covering. The Eng
lish visitor thought the Jap boys the
happiest. and mcrriost children he had evor
seen.

Diamond Making.

"A tube twenty inches long by four inches
diameter, of coiled Lowmoor iron, was
bored 80 as to Ia We an internal diameter OF
onc-half al inch. Thus the central bore
was surrounded by walls of iron one and
three quarter inches thick, and, of course,
capable OF resisting an enormous pressure.
LII the tubes was placed mixture of ninety
per cent. OF bone-oil and ten per cent. OF
paratlinc- spirit, together with four gralnmes
laoout siXty-two grains) Of the metal lith-
ium. The open end of the tube was weld
cd air-tignt and the whole was then heated
TO rcdness for fourteen hours and allowed
70 cool slowly. On opening It great vol
umc OF gas rushed from the tube, and with
Ill was found hard, smooth mass adhering
to tho sides of the tube. cit was quite
black, and was removed with chisel, and
as 1t appeared to be composed principally
OF iron and lithium it was laid aside for
analysis. l was pulverizing it in mortar,
when 1et that some parts of the material
were extremely hard---not resisting blow,
but hard otherwise. On looking closer
saw that these were most transparent pieces
lmbcdded in the hard matrix, and on tri-
turating them l obtained some free from
the black matter. They turned out to be
crystalline carbon, exactly like diamond. 1"
Such is MIR. Hannay's account of Ills dis
covcry. Subsequent chemical and optical
analysis has proved that these hard, shin
ing crystals are IN every respect true dia-
monds. The cost Is obviously great: 80,
also, is the danger to life and property and
the great difficulties to be overcome re nder

Those Northern denocEacts who oppose the
educational bill tina. recently passed the Senate
should remember that the South has lost
enough by the negroes already, without b,ipg
compelled to iBpovelish herself still further
and to repudisto her iass debts 10 order to
supply all the money requisite to educate them.
The North sold lis slaves to the South, from
which section their presence necessarily ex
oludts white settlers, aud having set them free.
and thereby reduced to comparative penury
those who owed them, to help to edu,ate
them is the very least, either in justice or rea-
SOD, that could DO expected of it. Having
made the negroes voters the North should
certainly b, willing to contribute portion of
the money necessary 10 educate and thereby
to enable them to vote iD!eigeutly. The oppo'
sition of Northern members to this bill is the
more remarkable when it is remembered that
most of the public lands from the sale of which
the educational fund will bs raised were ac-
CURED through the South, and that the North
is to havs an equal share of this fund.
