Over both shoulders and down the
full length OF each arm are embroidered
broad bands of brightly colored porcu-
pine quilts, and from both arms hangs
very heavy buckskin fringe twenty
inches in depth. At intervals along the
fringe on the left arm are woven in
scalp-locks, fourteen in number, show
ing the number of enemies that its
wearer had slain. Hanging down at
the front and back are two pointed or
namental flaps, about eight inches long
and three broad at the top, trimmed
with fine buckskin fringe and beauti-
fully ornamented with bead-work. On
the front and back are painted or stained,
in manner known only to the untu-

shoes showing the number of horses
and ponies that it's proud owner had
stolen from his foes. But even Sioux

DIR. Cushing Blaming the Schools. Z

DIR. Clinton Gushing recently lectured
at San Francisco on the education of
women. Among Other things he said
that the schools of TIE country are to
be blamed for the iIpealth of many
women. Children shtuld not be re-
strained: their amino spirits should
have full vent. Girl are naturally
more studious than bys; they attend
more closely to their books. A girl
will do more to pleas teacher or n
parent than boy. u to the age OF IL
boys and girls are rmarkably alike.
About that time there's a change. The
nervous organization f the girl then
begins to assert itself. Nothing should
be done TO check is development.
From the age of 10 or II, for the next
six or seven years, re change from
girlhood TO womanhoo occurs. In this
period school books nd cares should
not crush the health If the girl. She
should not he allowedto attend school

Poultry Notes.

Frequent changes of food for fowls
not only insure good health but also
a good supply of eggs.
Fowls should have all they will eat
clean, but should not be fed so much
that any will be left over.
Wood ashes are excellent for
fowls to roll in, for the dust penetrates
to the skin and is noxious to the YER
min.
Poultry houses should be white
washed at least twice q year. A little
glue mixed with the lime would make it
stick better and few drops of crude
carbolic acid would act as a guard
against vermin.
Feed regularly in cold weather, as
the fowls depend entirely on you for
their meals, and are hungry and discon-
tented if not fed at their meal-time.
Grain food is the natural demand of
all fowls and should be supplied at all
seasons of the year.
Exercise is very important with all
fowls whether old or young, and especi-
ally laying hens, where eggs are TO be
used for breeding purposes.
The two principal errors most COM
mon in the management of poultry are I:
1. Allowing too many fowls to mass to-
gether. 2. Neglecting TO keep the
house and yards as clean and as disin-
fected as they should be.
Fowls should be we'll fed and shell

The Earthquake Sensation.

All who have related from actual eX-
perience how an earthquake feels agree
in describing the sensation as one of
peculiar sickening fright and despair,
as if the bottom had fallen out of the
world and the whole universe was GO
ing to pieces. In travels IN Peru and
Mexico" the writer gives Juan Rome
ro's story of terre-moto in the equato-
rial Sierras, from which he and his cat
tie were sufferers.
At the first warming rumble in the
ground, himself and his family and his
workmen all quilted their occupations
and ran to the middle of an open field.
But before we reached this Che saysl
the earth trembled violently beneath
our feet, and we were all thrown to
the ground
We were all, however soon on our
feet again, and III position of COM
parative safety where we could watch
the effects of the earthquake upon the
animals. These all stood motionless
heads bent down almost TO the ground,
one or two of the cattle moaning.
A second shock was very different.
During the first one we seemed to be
drawn or pushed from side to side; but
now we felt, for minute or more, as
if some weight was pressing us to the
ground, and Immediately after this as
light as if we were. ascending into the
air, showing that the shock was in the
first case horizontal, and in the second
in perpendicular direction.
OF his own feelings Mr. Romero
said that he experienced kind of ter
ror hard to describe "My first sensa-
tions were dread that the earth was
about to open and bury everything
within its bosom. But what L felt aft
er this was not like the fear of death
which / have experienced in other cases.
have faced the bayonet and stood be-
fore the lannon's mouth, and L cannot
say altogether without fear of human
enemies who, one might suppose, ex-
perienced the same unpleasant sensa-
tions as oneself. The prospect of death,
however, is generally accompanied by
hopes of the future; but during an
earthquake the reason is subdued, and
my predominant feeling was that we
were utterly lost. 1t seemed as if all
nature was about to expire; and for an
hour or two after the shocks there was
the same appearance of dread among
the whole party.
"Even the beasts stood for some
time in the position which they had
taken during the shocks, and required
patting and reassuring before they
would move"

The genius of Columbus was so
universal and his fame so worldwide,
that it seems almost strange to hear him
spoken of as Colon and find his grave
In Catholic church in Havana. An
American is SO accustomed to think of
Columbus as the grand discoverer of
the New World-his 1cOrld-that for a
moment he feels quite like resenting the
exclusive claim of that not over clean
and badly-governed city to the custody
Of his ashes.
Columbus-or Cristobal Colon, as we
must say at Havana if we wish to be
understood-die at Santo Domingo,
but his remains were subsequently re-
moved to Havana and inferred in the
cathedral, where they now repose be-
meath pillar within the altar. And
properly proud are the Havanese
Spanish families of their great fellow
countryman by adoption, whose last
resting-place is with them.
Beneath a rather doubtful bust of the
great discoverer is marble tablet set
in the pillar, and inscribed with the
following characteristic Spanish epitaph
in the old-time tongue of Castle:
c 20, Res aoioa = V'TpG 1P s;o de!
0urdd gudrdadO en- Ia UrHd
zen la renem6rdnzd de MT
estrd ndciOn.
o, remains and likeness of great
Columbusl Let thousand cent
urics hold thee, guarded sacredly
in thy urn and in the memory or
our nation.
More correct to life, it is asserted, is
the statue of Columbus in the patio of
the Captain Generals palace few
squares below the cathedral. This
statue is also of marble, life size, with
the right hand pointing to IA globe set
by the left foot-that globe which he
was prosecuted for believing to be
round and not fiat-and chart. The
head and face are those of a man 40 or
80 years of age; and the countenance
indicates certain pathetic faith and
purpose, half-buried and struggling be-
meath tides on tides of trouble.
No one can for moment look upon
that face and believe that the life of
this man was happy one. Rather
that he suffered and was weighed on by
anxiety from first to last; from the day
he first set forth to raise funds for his
ridiculed expedition, to that last hour
in Santo Domingo when his noble life
expired under ingratitude and malice.
Such a face is silent and lasting re-
proach to the age which it looked upon.
