The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes of Thurman:
The old gentleman, when he was in the
Senate, was great snuff-taker. When
he became very much interested in
debate he would fairly stuff
both nostrils full of black snuff.
Then out would come his red bandana
handkerchief. A defiant blast would
then be blown and the Senator would
stand up and proceed to hammer with
great blows of sturdy common sense
against the arguments of the opposi-
ton. He always began his speeches
with a resounding cit won't do, sir; it
won't do" The waving of his bandana
handkerchief and this phrase were for
long time the banner and the watch
word of many Democratic fight; Ros-
coe Conkling and Thurman were great
friends, although constantly opposed to
each other in debate. remember
quite funny scene occurring between
the two during the later years of Thur
mans service Mr.. Conkling came in
to the Senate with Respondent silk
handkerchief sticking out of his gray
tweed cutaway coat. Thurman's eye
caught it Immediately. He gazed upon
it longingly. For few moments he
restrained himself, then he came rum
ming over to Mr. Conkling. A grave
conversation began. From the solemn
look of the two Senators one might
have thought that the most serious af-
fairs of state were being discussed.
Finally Mr.. Conkling arose and dis
played the entire length and breadth of
his handkerchief. Mr.. Thurman looked
at it enviously. The beauty and rare
quality of this handkerchief were dis
cussed for fully five minutes. Then Mr..
Conkling with true Spanish politeness
presented his resplendently colored
handkerchief to the Ohio Senator. The
Ohio Senator was not to be outdone in
politeness. He went down into his
snuffy righthand pocket and brought
out the great Democratic banner of the
Senate, the red bandana bespangled
with little yellow stars. This he pre-
sented with very grave bow to Mr..
Conkling. 1t was gratefully received.
The entire business of the Senate was
suspended during this interchange of
courtesies by these two opposition lead
ers. That day the two leaders Haunted
each others colors and were never
more aggressively polite in their politi-
cal thrusts at each other.

ABORIGINAL FARMERS.
How the Original Inhabitants of the Coun-
try Conducted Agriculture.

The aborigines of this country were
better acquainted with the cultivation
of plants than most savage races are
when they first come under the notice
of civilized people. The methods they
pursued in raising corn and tobacco are
still followed. 1t is to be regretted that
so little care was taken in preserving a
record of how they conducted many OF
their farming operations as practiced IN
the east.
Women were the aboriginal "gai-te-
gaids," or farmers, of North America,
for the savage lords of the soil scorned
tillage as does modern shop-boy, and
passed their time in fighting or in hunt
ing or in fishing, although they never
refused to eat the products of the soil.
When a new field was to be cleared up
in "wonne-squam-sauke," the squaWs
would take their hatchets (made OF
sharpened stone) and girdle the trees
by bruising off wide circle of the bark;
':mo-ni-e-jeeg-i-kwai-wug," as they call
ed this employment. The next SPRING
twelve months after heaplng dry limbs
and leaves around the decayed trunks,
they would apply fire, and while the
flames consumed the dead giants OF the
forest, and the heat killed the roots OF
the underbrush, the ashes would leave
the soil mellow and in fine heat. A
field thus titled would be used by gen
erations, thus proving the excellence OF
wood ashes as fertilizer for Indian
corn.
Great care was taken by the Indians
to select for seed the best ear for ''ska'
moon" which was their name for In
dian corn, although they had distinct
appellations for the white, the red, the
yellow, and the black varieties, all o.
which they possessed, and kept pottage
fish and flesh of all sorts, either new
taken or dried, as shad, eels, aleWlyes
or a kind of herring, or any other sort
of fish. But they dried mostly those
sorts before mentioned. These they GU
in pieces, bones and all, and boilee
them in the aforesaid pottage. Also
they boiled in this fermenty all sorts o
flesh taken in hunting as venison, bears
flesh, beaver, moose, otter, or raccoon
cut in small pieces. They also mixet
with it several sorts of roots, as Jerusa
lem artichoke and ground nuts, an'
other roots and pumpkins and squashes
Also several kinds of masts, as oal
acorns, chestnuts, walnuts-these
husked and dried and powdered, the.
thickened this pottage Herewith.
Melons were raised in great abund
ance, as were also gourds of all sizes
from the large "calabash' that woul
hold two or three gallons to the tin
receptacle for pigments used in paint
ing for war. From the sap Of the ma
pie they made coarse-grained sugar
which, when mixed with freshly-pound
ed Indian meal and seasoned with dr.
