1t appears that every known trait
Of the mound builder was possessed q.
20 by the Indian 1t the time Of the dis
covery Of America. It hence becomes
unnecessary TO appeal to any other
agency than the Indian. II Is poor
philosophy and poor science that resorts
to Hypothetical causes when those al.
ready known are sufficient to produce the
known effects. The Indian is q known
adequate cause. The assignment Of the
mounds to any other dynasty was born
Of that common reverence Tor the past,
and for the unexplainable, which not
only unconsciouiy Arguments the actual,
but revolts at the reduction Of these
works to the level Of the existing red
man.-Popalar Science Monthly.

"A great discovery has been madeon
the Mojave Desert, says . San Francisco
paper, which seems destined to revolu-
tionize vine-culture in Southern Califor-
mia. It has been found that grape cut
tings, inserted in the trunk Of the eaeti
on The desert, grow and thrive - Wig
orously as in cultivated land. This fact
is Of great importance to the people. By
the use Of q chisel q man can plant .
large vineyard in day, and the vines
so planted viii climb the cactus and
grow luxurianty without cultivation or
irrigation. The dry, hot sands Of the
desert will afford. . fne place for drying
raisins. In addition to grapes it has
been proved that melons, cucumbers
and tomatoes win grow from the cactus

Another method Of shooting on horse
back he showed me in a brilliant and ef-
fective manner. Mounting his horse
and uttering loud cry he sent it gal
looping up hill just as hard as it could
60. Suddenly, without q word of warm
ing, the left foot was pressed to the STIR
rup, the right leg thrown backwards
over the saddle, the man was on his
feet and the horse stopped instantane-
ously, and as if spellbound. Standing
erect, the Boer aimee. coolly at dis
tant bottle and knocked it over, then
springing into the saddle, he executed
the same maneuyer in two opposite d.
rections with signal and unerring aim
and effect. This man was one Of 1870
who first stormed and took the Majuba
Heights. He says that Joubert's only
words were: "Fellows, take that hill,"
and they fastened to obey. The reason
why so few men advanced to the at
tack was because Joubert anticipated
and made sure that the English would
endeavor simultaneously to take the
Mex, as we'll as surprise them on their
left, and he retained men to defend the
positions mentioned. Finding. however,
his fears were groundless, he dispatched
fresh men to the assistance of their COM
rades, but by the time they arrived the
Majuba Hill had been taken. The
Ninety-second, he informed me, were
the first they encountered, and this reg
iment fought stoutly, but were driven
back on to the plateau towards the Fiji
ty-eighth. Both bravely defended the
position until Colley fell, when panic, he
atfirms, seized our men. The whole
scene was, however, so enveloped in
smoke that he could make no accurate
note of anything and confusion prevailed
everywhere. Sir George Colley he de-
clares to have been shot while in the act
of tying white handkerchief to 3 ram.
rod. The Beers did not know at the
time that this parsonage was Sir George.
This is one of the few Boer versions Of
the Majuba fight that have heard from
men who actually took part in the first
advance to storm the plateau. Each
tale ITALICS similarlarly with the other,
and l am inclined to think it is truthful

Horse.Stable Floors.

The long-debated question as to the
best material for stable.aoors is being
again revived. A clay floor was adj

was the earnestness Of its advocates
and the many arguments brought to
bear upon it that we were induced some
twenty years ago 10 try II. In three or
four months we had the planks back
