alliance as against France, and the Italian
papers talk of it as if were particularly

would be pounced down on by vastly supe-
rior power at the first signs of hostile

to crack of themselves if left alone. Triple

The May Century viii contain the fourth
of Edward Eggleston's papers on American
Colonial History. entitled "The Aborigines
and the Colonists.v Dr. Eggleston has made
wide and special study of Indian life, and
among the novel conclusions he has reached
some of the most curious relate to the in
debtedness of the white settlers to the Indi-
ans. Not only did the white men get tobac-
co from this source, but with it they Dor
rowed the custom of smoking by the road
side in token of friendship, which was for
mally interdicted by the Puritan law-giyers.
The art of making maple sugar and the cul>
ture of the maize were learned from the saw
ages, who planted the corn in hills, grew
beans around the stalks, and filed the inter-
vening space with pumpkin vines, as old
fashioned farmers do yet. The great facto-
ries of fish-manure along the northern coast
are tracked to the advice of an Indian given
to the Pilgrims TO put a fish in every hill of
corn. Hominy, samp, supaun and pone are
Indian words, and there is hardly an ap-
proved method of cooking maize that the
Indians did not know; even the western
hoe-cake and the southern ash-cake were
made by the squaw. Mats, baskets, and
shoes were made from corn husks by the
savages, and from them white men
took the hint of using husks for
chair bottoms, horse-collars, etc. Their
bark house was used as a tenn
porary place of abode by settlers in every
colony, and IFS tradition still fingers in the
bark camp of the Adirondack sportsman.
The birch canoe and the dug-out, which
played so important a part in colonial life,
and which are still used, were borrowed
from the savages. The corn-husking ''bee''
and the house-raisiDg assemblage were Indi-
an customs. The device of using hot stones
to heat water in barrel at hog-killing time
"a custom very common yet in the Mississip-
pi Valley-was adapted from the Indian meth
cd of cooking food. The first Virginia settlers
early learned from the savages to eat the
meat of the snake, and a hundred years af- |
ter the settlement rattle-snakes we're regard
