RANT1N(. WOMEN.

The published reports will cause their de-

a long protest against the proposed Con-

the Federal officials and courts, and in fact
against everybody and everything tending
to the suppression OF the curse OF polyga-
my. In the convention number OF Mo-

IN the attempt to suggest panacca for the

AN UNJUST POSTAI. ('HANlsE
PROPOSED.

Hon. James +. Wilson, Senator from
Iowa, has introduced in the Senate bill
doubling the rate OF postage on tourth.class
matter. There is no necessity or demand
for such bill, and it is an unjust measure.
The rate now is sixteen cents per pound,
and the proposed change makes the rate
tile same as letter fosf4ge. Strong protests
are being made III all parts OF the country
against the passage Of this bill. N',r
American rate ON this class OF postal mat.
ter at pre- sent is more than double that of
other countries, and the rate should be cut
down, instead Of increased In the pro.
tests it is shown that If this increase i,
made it will cripple to Il large degree. ii
not entirely destroy, such lines Of trade a.
depend upon the IS. mails for CARRYING
their goods, while in nearly every line it
will largely increase the expense OF con.
Quoting business, The proposed change
will not only damage the business interests
of the country, but it will prove a serious
hardship to the thousands of people who,
because OF living long distances from ex.
press Offices. must depend largely upon
the postal facilities for receiving articles OF
daily use This is particularly the case
with thousands Of people in Montana. 1t
is expected the united protest of the people
OF the country vino arc directly interested
IN the matter will have the effect OF killing
the bill OF the Iowa Senator, which should
be promptly sat down upon.

The Arabian Horse.

Arabian horses arc being imported INTO
Messenger, the famous old stallion from
whom our American trotting stock ia all
descended, had Il large strain Of Arabian
blood in him
Arabian stations have been brought to
this country from time 10 time as pres
cnts to public men and othcr' But it is
doubtful if a fulI-bloodcl Arabian mare
was ever in the United States They
are valued more highly than the stations,
and not allowed to leave the country.
There are six distinct families Of horses
in Arabia, and the pedigree Of some Of
them runs back unmiotakably for five
hundred years They come of old families.
These are the horses for swiftncss and
endurance. They are not draught horses,
but in the two qualities named they excel
all other breeds in the world They
have delicate nccks and fine, small,
straight limbs, flashing eye, and a strong.
flowing name and tail They ar. not
large, fifteen and half hands being an
unusual height. The back is not archcd
much, the tail i high SIT, and the ,hoofs
are always small, black aud very tough

There Is a saying among the Russians
that man who Is fond Of his horse will
not grow old carly The Arab and the
CosSack are examples of the truth Of the
proverb They generally live long, en-
iov robust health and have no use for
liver pads and blue pills. That vigorous
octogenarian, David Dudley Field, tells
us that Nc attributes his remarkably Vi
taIitv to the habit Of horseback riding,
ami if the truth were known, it would
hc doubtless appear that our sturdicst
old men are those who have been fond of
the saddle. The taste for equestrian
sports and exercise which has lately made
such progress in Brooklyn is. therefore,
a hopeful and hcalthful sign 1t IS not
a mere freak of fashion, but a develop
mcnt in the direction Of rational on ioy-
mcnt and IN assurance that the rising
generation will be less Of an indoor and
more Of an outdoor people. 1t means
loss headache hereafter, better appctites,
stronger lungs, roster checks, brighter
eyes, soundcr sleep, happier spirits, and
a total oblivion Of that organ which, &C
corling to Sidney Smith, keeps men a
good deal lower than the angcla-tle
liver. Byo0k}Va Erqle

IIoH tle Indians Made Sugar.

Thomas Conant, an old resident Of
The Jesuit fathers, who were thc first
white men III this country among the In
dians, tel that the Indians made eug-
ar regularly every spring by tapping the
sugar maple. At this time the Indians
did not have iron kettles for boiling the
maple sap in Then it becomes curious
question how they did manage to boil
down the succulent juice without kettle
to boil II in. They tapped the trees with
their tonahawks, and inserted spile in
the lncision to conduct the sap from the
trees to the vessel beneath. Their sple
was piece of dry pine or cedar wood,
grooved on its upper side for the sap to
Z V down No doubt this process was
extremely crude, STILL with all its cruli
ties, they succeeded in producing a con-
siderable quantity of sugar each spring.
Their buckets were made by taking q
roll of birch bark and sewing UP the ends
with deer sincws or roots Thus they
got vessel capable Of holding pailful,
and no doubt the sap caught in such s.
sells was just as sweet as that which
we now gather in our bright tin pals at
far greater expense and trouble Gath
cring the sap from the birchen buckets,
it was carried by the original red man to
the boiling place. At this boiling place
was Il large caldron made of large sheets
of birch bark Beside tn, caldron a fire
| was built, aud in this fire was placed a
| lot Of stones. AS soon as the stones be-
| came heated to red heat they were
| dropped into the birchca caldron, prcvi-
ously filled with sap. BY taking out the
cooled stones and putting in more hot
ones, and repeating the process, even
slow as it was, they got the sap to boil
ing. Once got to boiling, by rehcatinn
tho extracted stones, they kept up the
boiling and SO continued the process, un
til after time they got the sap boilco
down, and sugar was the result Tha
was making sugar without the aid of
kettle, and no doubt many will doub
the accuracy of the statement. 1t is :
positive fact, for my forefathcrs wht
came to this province in the last ccntur,
have handed down in family tradition
the story of the process just az | hav
narrated it. Indeed, they were cye-wit
ncsscs of the process themselves. Wit
the advent Of settlers of course the Indi
an soon learned better, and traded III
furs with the fur-dcalcr for iron kettles
and then began making sugar much "a
the WI hite man does now.

THE LAST STRAW.

Mrs. Slack was next nci@hbor 20 the
Peppers when they bought their cottage
at Nravirw, and an the very first night
she tumblrd over the scattered bt Of
furniture in tn" passage and appeared in
their midst UNEXPECTEDLY to borrow a lit
tie salt She said it WAS nice to lave
nci2hbor~ again, and that Mrs Pcppcr
looked So sweet she knew She wouldn't
mind
At midnight She reused them from their
>Iumh,r~ to inquire il they had any cIlol-
era medicine, for little Peter had Iocn
eating too many green apples and She
thought he would die She said Sic WAS
thankful Mrs. Pepper had moved in, and
that but for that circumstances She might
have lost her darling. Mrs. Pepper was
thankful, too, and the two women em-
braccd with tears. Then Mrs Slack bor-
ruwci some mustard for q plaster
The next. day She sent Peter, fully re-
covered and with his pockets full of
green fruit, to ask for the aN, the handle
having come of theirs; also \ rolling-pin.
Fortunately the Peppers possessed
three aNcS and two rolling pins, SO they
did not feel disturbed Ivy the fact that
the articles were never returned. But
after Short interval filled. by loans Of
coal, potatocS. bread and cheese, Mrs
Slack came herself 10 borrow the folding
taIjc, a pair Of scissors, tn" pattern of Il
basque, and low rocking chair. She
was going t. make some dresses, ard if
Mrs. Pepper would step over anf tit her
she'd be much obliged.
Mrs Pepper did it and made the lut-
ton -hslcS, too. Mrs Slack never could
learn to make hutton-hole. The table,
tn scissors. the rocking-chair, and this
pattern all remained at Mrs Stacks.
The neat week Mrs. Slack borrowed &
mantle and water proof.
Mrs. Pepper by this fine grew bold
enough TO beg that she would send then
home when She returned.
Mrs. Slack said "Of course" with
some oilense, but when Peter was ncN'
seen it wts 0aet to bring back those arti
clcs. What be wanted was the bah,
