The Red Mans Wall.

A live Indian is lecturing in this coun-
try on "The Red Mans Wall" We have
1.-THE wall, not the lecture. Most earn
estly do we hope never to hear it again.
1t is unlike any other wall in the Zoo.
When the red man walls it is a sign OF
grief. He is sorry that you are so fan
away. And as he walls he tries to edge
up little closer. And when you dis,
cover that when you get clear down to
your inside record you can only hitch
away at the rate of twelve miles an hour,
while the wailing red man is Dashfully
edging up an eighteen mile gait, with
plenty of reserve force still left, there is
in the sobbing cadence of his wall &
longing, weird, fitful yearning, a wild
thrill of pathos with hair on it, thai
makes you recklessly willing to trade of
the whole Cour d'Alene country for JUS
a ten minutes right of way inside tn,
New York State line. -BurdsttG.

The Presidents Daughter.

Miss Nellie Arthur reigus supreme in
the White House, with French tutors and
waiting maids her only encumbrances;
and her merry laughter and clear, silvery
voice often ring through the spacious
rooms and halls, Little Miss Nellie is
not an aristocrat; in bevy of play
mates she is almost as conspicuous as the
most plainly attired. Her toilet is always
designed with a view to stand the rough
usage to which its somewhat impetuous
wearer subjects it. Upon the lawn ten
mis- grounds Miss Nellie is in her element,
and proves herself a graceful and accom-
plished player. In all the charitable en-
tertainments and movements in which
fashionable little folks can take part the
Presidents daughter is prominent, and il

cabinet the diplomatic corps and promi
nent official circles "Little Nell" is {

Henry Bergh.

Henry Bergh, the philanthropist, was
Oorn in New York, in 1928. He re-
.eived his education at Columbia college,
where he manifested considerable love
for literature. He afterward obtained
come notoriety as an author by writing a
drama entitled cloves Attractions" .
poem entitled Married Of, =" and several
tales and sketches. In 1868 he was made
secretary of the United States legation to
Russia, and subsequently vice consul.
Returning to this country, he founded
he American Society for the Prevention
IF Cruelty to Animals, which was incor.
porated in 1865. This association has
grown into considerable magnitude, hav-
ing branches in most of the States and
receiving the support of the best citi-
Gens. The society endeavors to prevent
cruelty to all kinds of animals by securing
the passaAe and enforcement of laws to
accomplish that object. 1t also takes into
consideration things which pertain to
the health of the people, such as purity
of meat, milk, etc. AS minor illustra-
tion of its good work, few years ago
sportsmen were accustomed to shoot
pigeons at shooting matches; but by an
effort of the Humane society glass balls
have been substituted. Ocean.

The Pecan Tree.

The pecan tree is found in a wild state
in the woods of various sections of the
South and West. 1t grows to very
large size, and bears yearly many bushels
of tine-favored nuts. Though little or
no attention has been paid to these valu-
able trees, cultivation greatly improves
them, the nut growing much larger and
improving in flavor. The pecan tree lives
to a great age, and continues long in
bearing. There is no good reason why l.
should not be grown extensively in all
parts of the United States. 1t is well
adapted to almost any kind of soil, doing
well even on rocky hills and waste land
There is no nut or fruit tree more vaIu-
able and requiring so little attention
Every farmer, in my opinion, should have
his nut orchard, and cultivate especially
the pecan for home use or sale The nuts
always find ready sale at fancy prices.
In planting the trees the only object is to
obtain good fresh nuts. and of a good
early variety, of large size, from which
TO grow the trees. If it is preferred to
set out the plants, get healthy trees of a
good variety, one to two years old.-J

The Telephone Fifty Years Ago.

A little more than fifty years ago the
employees of the Arms Shoe mandatory
at South Deerfeld beguiled their leisure
hours by kite flying, Kites large and
small were sent up daily, and the strife
was to see who would get the largest. The
twine which held them was the shoe
thread spun and twisted by the ladies of
the village. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached kitten sewed
in a canvas bag, with a netting over the
mouth to give it air. When the kite
was at its greatest height-some nine
hundred feet OF more-the mewing OF
the kitten could be distinctly heard by
those holding the string. To the clear
ness of the atmosphere was attributed
the hearing of the kittens voice, and
no telephone patent was applied for

The Youngest Soldier OF the RevOlu
tiOn.

Richard Lord Jones was born at Col
chester, Conn, on May 10, 1907. He
/ enlisted at Hartford, for the term of three
years, in Captain James Waison's COM
pany Of the Third Connecticut regiment,
commanded by Colonel Samuel B. Webb,
the father of the venerable General James
Watson Webb, and was the youngest
enlisted person on the payroll OF the
Army of the Revolution. He was i'm
mediately placed under the charge of
Bandmaster Ballentine, and instructed
to play the fife.
The regiment was at one time engaged
in an enterprise having in view the de-
struction of large quantity of lumber
on Long Island. But the colonel and a
number of men, among whom was
Richard, were captured while returning,
after a successful expedition, by the
British sloop of war "Falcon" and taken
to Newport
Upon the arrival of the prisoners at
Newport, they were taken before a
British officer for examination. The
colonel, being called forward, was fol-
lowed by Dick, who was anxious to learn
what his own fate was to be. The British
officer, noticing the little fellow at the
heels of the colonel, sternly inquired;
"Who are you2"
81 am one of King Hancock's men, an
swered Dick, Strengthening himself
proudly.
"What can you do for him9" asked
the officer, with smile, and so strong an
emphasis on the 'youn that Dick an
swered defiantly:
Acan fight for him."
"Can you fight one OF King Georges
men2"
Eyes, sir, answered Dick, promptly,
and then added, after little hesitation,
'if he is not much bigger than l."
The officer called forward the boats
wains boy, who had been curiously look
ing on; then turning to the young conti-
mental, asked
''Dare you fight him9"
Dick gave the Briton, who was con-
siderably larger than he, hasty survey,
and then answered:
eyes, sir"
"Then strip" said the officer, and
turning to the British lad, "strip, and do
battle for King George"
Both boys divested themselves of all
superfuous clothing as rapidly as posi-.
BILE, and went to work at once, and in
dire earnest 1t was trough and tum,
BILE" fight; first one on top and then the
other, cheered in turn by cries of, "Give
it to him, King Hancock" and ''Hurrat
for King GeorgeW
1t was a memorable encounter for botl
contestants, but at last the courageous
little rebel got the better of his adver
sary. The young Briton shouted
enough, " and was rescued from the EN-
brace of his furious antagonist.
With a generosity natural to greut
minds, but seldom displayed during the
War of Independence, the British office
ordered the discharge of our young hero
for his pluck, and he was set at liberty

Protecting the Great Statue.

In erecting the great Statue of Liberty,
two things had to be considered that
seem very tritiing, and yet, if neglected,
might destroy the statue in one day, or
cause it to crumble slowly to pieces. One
is the sun, the other is the sea breeze.
Either of these could destroy the great
copper figure, and something must be
done to prevent such a disaster The
heat Of the sun would expand the meta
and pull it out of shape, precisely as it
does pull the Brooklyn bridge out Of
shape every day. The bridge is made in
four parts, and when they expand with
the heat of the sun they slide one past
the other, and no harm is done. The
river span rises and falls day and night,
as heat and cold alternate. The great
copper statue is likewise in two parts,
the framework of iron and copper COW
tring; and while they are securely fas-
tened together they can move one over
the other. Each bolt will slip a trifle as
the copper expands in the hot August
sunshine, and slide back again when the
freezing winds blow and the vast figure
shrinks together in the cold. Beside
this, the copper surface is so thin and
elastic that it will bend slightly when
heated, yet keep its general shape.
The salt air blowing in from the sea
has thin fingers and a bitter, biting
tongue. If he finds crack where it
can creep in between the copper surface
and iron skeleton, there will'be trouble
at once. These metals do not agree to-
gether, and. where there is salt moisture
in the air they seem to quarrel more bit
terly than ever. 1t seems that every
joining of points of copper and iron
makes a tiny battery, and so faint
shivers of electricity would run through
all the statue, slowing corroding and
eating it into dust. This curious, silent,
and yet sure destruction must be pre-
vented, and so every joint throughout
the statue, wherever copper touches iron,
must be protected with little rags stuffed
between the metals to keep them from
quaueGng 1t is the same wherever two
different metals touch each other. I'm.
agine what a tremendous battery the
Liberty would make, with its tons ol
copper surface and monstrous skeleton
of iron. However, little care prevent,
all danger, as provisions will be made
Of course, for keeping the metals from
touching each other.-d. Nicholas.

The Nile Dixie at Cairo.

A canal traverses Cairo from east to
west. This canal is closed, when the
inundation begins, at the junction with
the Nile, by solid and well-made dixie,
and remains thus closed until the water
mark shall have reached a desired point.
The rupture of this dixie, which admits
the water into the city, is accompanied
by festivities in which all classes of the
populatian share. .-Harper's Magazine.
