The Indian Pupils.

General Armstrong, who has for six
years had charge OF the Government
Indian School at Hampton, Va, gave,
in his address before the National Ed
ucational Association, some interesting
facts relating to the progress of his
singular pupils. 1
In the last three years seventy-one
wild boys and girls have been taken to
the school, chiefly Sioux from the
Upper Missouri, and returned. after q
necessarily short course of training, to
the reservations of the tribes to which
they belong. Over half the instruction
given was in trades and farming to the
boys and in housework, cooking and
the art of making garments to the
girls. The leading idea was the OBJ
viously correct one of teaching the
children in the first place how to keep
themselves clean and tidy and how to
| work.
OF the seventy-one sent back home
only seven are reported as having re-
turned to the school for more learning,
though there is said to be general de-
sire among the others to go back
again. General Armstrong; opinion
is that five years course is what the
children need, with visit of from
three to twelve months to their people
at the end of three years, that their
| hold on their relatives and tribe may
not be lost. OF the results of the last
three years. work General Armstrong
says:
OF the seventy-one sent back since
1881, but seven have been reported as
"gone back to the blanket" which
means giving up citizens dress for a
wooden ''toga, putting on paint, go
ing to dances and letting the hair grow
long. Not one of them all has become
q horse thief or n renegade. Of the
rest, about one-haf are more or less
weak and tickle, needing the agent S
care and the influence of the mission
AIRY to keep them to steady habits, or to
lead them back from temporary re-
lapses; the other half are comparative
ly steady, Industrious and thrifty, good
examples to and a growing influence
among their people, whose feeling
about educating their children has
changed remarkably in the past few
years. ---.--
General Armstrong thinks that "the
great majority of our 10000 Indian
| youtu VI scHooi uSc inuoG SeI tholI cu-
ucation" in the boarding schools upon
the reservations, while he supposes that
from 5000 to 5000 may soon be placed
in the Government schools in the midst
of civilization, like those at Hampton
and Carlisle Barracks, where they will
get better industrial training, especi-
ally in the mechanic arts, and a more
thorough mastery of the English Ian
guage and of civilized customs, than
they could upon the reservations.
The curse of Adam is not labor but
laziness, and the Indian has a most de-
grading share of the disinclination to
do any useful thing. The only hope of
the aboriginal race is in teaching and
persuading it to go to work. Mathe-
MATES and theology can come later,
but the first thing IS to set the red hand
upon the plow, the shovel, the jack
plane, the hammer and the awl. Thrift
and industry must precede; book-learn-
ing and the catechism will follow fast
enough when the mind is steadied by
regular and constant occupation. =

A kissing Record.

A recently deceased Frenchman kept
record. Twenty years ago he mar
ried, and on his wedding day took tho
original resolution to keep yearly ac-
count of the number of kisses exchanged
with his wife until their union became
severed by the death of one or the 9TH
er. Just before he died he confided
this account to a friend fol publication.
During the first year of welded life the
kisses exchanged reached the colossal
figure of $4,000, or 100 day on an av-
erage; but in the following twelve
months there was noticeable decrease,
not more than 1900 being inscribed on
still greater falling off, the average
number of kisses being but ten day.
And after the lapse OF five years a
further reduction is recorded, and the
account keepers task was tsimplified,
for only two kisses were exchanged
during each twenty-four hours-"one
on risinng, one on retiring to rest"
Later on, during the last ten years Of
his married life, they "only kissed each
other on leaving for or returning from
journey" and he had very little
trouble in making up his annual domes-

Marked Trout.

1t Is the custom OF some OF our fsh
commissioners to attach metal tags to
liberated salmon, that when captured
again, the growth of the fish may be
noted. We once knew an angler who
was in the habit of putting his mark on
trout; but he did not use a metal tag.
1t was rule with him to retain no
trout that weighed less than one e.half
pound. When he landed one of less
weight, he wonld carefully take it from
the hook, mark it by biting off the
upper portion ofits tail fin, and throw
II back into the water to grow. Some
times he would catch these fish again
after they had attained the proper size
to find place in his basket; and it was
often source of pleasure to him to re-
ceive a letter of thanks from some fell
low-angler who had CHANGED to take
one of the marked big fellows. One
day this bitter of trout's tails was driving
along some eighteen miles from home,
when he came TO bridge overa stream,
and in passing saw big trout rise.
The next day, with his tackle, he drove
back over these eighteen miles and tried
for rise. He found not a sign of trout
The next day he made the journey
again. with like result. The third
day, nothing daunted, he drove out
again. This time he pulled out three
pound trout. The upper half Of its tail
lin was gone; and our friend has always
believed that II was one of his marked
trout. Forest and Stream.

CHAMPION SNAKE STORY.
Capture OF a Reptile which Daniel Boon
Had Labeled Ina 1870.

Capture OF a Reptile which Daniel Boone
Had Labeled Ina 1870.
A western paper publishes q story which
the next" man will find 1t hard to beat. The
writer tells how he was blasting with gun
p owder some large and tough logs. From one
of the logs thus split open crawled an enor-
nous serpent, which WAS easily killed. The
man who tells this story continues from this
point as follows: ION stretching 1t out
found it to DO thirty-on feet two inches in
length, and the thickest part of its body
measured twenty-nino inches in circum-
ference. It was different species of serpent
from any l have ever seen before. Its tail
was armed with sharp pointed and curved
horn; its body WAS variegated with alternate
brown and dirty yellow stripes. and OH
close examination j discovered that IL had
been totally blind, its eyes seemed to have
turned into rehectionless hard. bone-like
substance. This explained its undecided,
hesitating movements when it first came
from the log. A strange crease appeared
about the neck, just back of the head, which
l found to DO caused by stout thong Of
leather, about which the flesh Of the serpent
had grown until IL had sunk almost out of
view. Cutting the thong and removing IL, l
found attached to its under side n copper plate
which had heretofore been hidden by the
body of the snake, and on one side Of 1t was
scratched ID. Boone, April 15 ITO 1
split the log in two, and near tho lower end
of tho hollow found whore there had once
been an opening, but long years ago 1t had
been closed up with plug made Of oak wood,
about and over which the maple had grown
until it was almost concealed. The dead ap-
pearance of the small portion visible of the
oak plug was all that called my attention to
its existence. My theory of tho matter is
this: Daniel Boone, many years ago, on the
date recorded on this piece of copper, caught
the snake, then young and small, fastened the
copper plate about its neck, and imprisoned
1t In the hollow of the tree by means of the
oak plug, whore his snakeship had remained
until the day delivered him to free air and
sunlight again."

He Had tho Drop On Them.

A lot of merchant travellers in New York
were watching the time ball about noon one
day with their watches in their hands, betting
as to when 1t would drop.
"Ive got watch that never fails me-"
said one, land I've dollar that says 1t will
drop in four minutes and half"
"Donew says another; my watch says six
minutes, aud here's my dollar on yours"
both Of you are off," chinned in another.
"Ive got the regulator, and she says the ball
goes down in Eve minutes"
1--WE got a watch and 50 which says she
will go down in three minutes and half" put
in nice little Broadway fellow.
Here's flyer that says she will 60 down
in three minutes" sang out Clahin trav-
oler in high collar.
"Ah, gentlemen" interrupted a new man,
Joining the gang, "betting on the ball. oh ?
Well, don't bet usually, but I've rot $50 in
my missionary pocket that was going to
pay my pew rent with, but il hear no OBJ
jections I'll put it up against o like amount
that she doesn't drop in ten minutes" and he
pulled out sn old tin watch, with q gate hinge
case on it. and looked into its dirty face in q
tender, loving way.
The boys gave him the laugh, and covered
his pile, and then they all stood and watched
the ball with their timepieces in their hands.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
nine, ten minutes, and the ball still remained
up.
"Thunder and lightning" shouted all of
them at once except the little man, who re-
marked as no stuff his winnings into his
pocket:
81 am sorrow for you gentlemen, and glad
for my pew rent, but, you see, I'm the party
that takes care of the clock, and she's out OF
repair, and that ball won't drop until next
week, unless my men are faster than usual
with their work. So long" And he skipped
around the corner before the boys recovered
from their astonishment.
