Cheyenne bucks who clubbed bis no, 8

there has been q growing tendency to

Ing 10 their welfare and the nation has
been gradually getting more ssucy, i'm.
pudent and independent. They are now
living and acting in open resis' ance to
wishes OF the Government as made
known by its representative Mr.. Dyer,
the present agent. The tribe can mus
ter between 500 and 1.200 men, mostly
Young warriors, who did not participate
10 the last war of 1874. They are al
most without exception armed with
modern repeating a g. The iisarming
OF the Indians has generally been prac-
tically farce. They manage TO hide
good arms and turn over only useless
ones. They are now better armed than
ever before, and are capable Of doing ar
immense amount of damage if they &c

wWe are indebted to Pompe 70

@ We are indebted to Pompeii for
our great industry Of canned FRUITS
Years ago when the excavations we're
beginning party of Americans found,
10 what had been the pantry OF house,
many jars of preserved figs. One was
opened and they we're found to be fresh
and good. Investigation showed that
the fgs had been put into the jars in q
heated state, an aperture being left for
the steam to escape, and then sealed with
wax. The hint was taken, and soon af-
ter fruit canning was introduced here,
the process being identical with that In
vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago.
There are many ladies among us who
can peaches aud tomatoes for domestic
use, and do not realize that they are in
debted for this art to the people Of Pom
pei.
