ORIGIN OF ALASKAN TROUBLE.
The Indian War Started by an Insult w

The Indian War Started by an Insult Which
Was AtrOCiously Avenged.
A remarkable story of the origin of the
Indian war III Alaska is told by Mr.. Sam
Hamilton, wealthy PIttsburger, who
just arrived from Alaska. Hamilton says
the story IF the wars real origin has
never been told before:
Con June H." said he, "ghile aboard
the steamer Aucop, in the BehrIng sea, we
learned of an extensive Indian 0utbreak
at Yyee inlet. It's origin was of strik-
iDgiy trivial character. hunaf, % years
old, ohieftain OF an aggressive tribe, had
struck George" Sitk brave, for pack
ing goods through Knnuf's territory for
fur traders. Thareupon George kn0cke ed
Kumuf down, whereat the latter extended
his hand as If for forgiveness, but actual
ly to conceal movement with tbs other
hand to shoot Si'ka George. which he did,
the bullet penetrating Georges lungs.
The subsequent prOce edings upon both
sides revealed, in the most hIdeous as
poet, the terrible vindiotiveness of these
northern tribes. Sitka George, although
mort ally wounded, was not yet dead, but
he knew he must be slaughtered By the
rival tribe to avenge his offensive assault.
So he went and painted shis face ike q
brave. 4 dozen Chilchat warriors ap-
Tr0ached him with rifles, when trader
nterfered, aud even fired upon them, to
save S!tka George from cruel death.
He, however, protested against all inter-
ference, saying in his native tongue:
Stand still and see how Sitka can die
Drawing his knife, as if in defense, he
began singing his death song, staggered
forward, weak from loss of blood and
pierced by many bullets. But lie did not
die at once, and so later in the day the
Chilchat braves returned and dispatched
him with their knives.
"AuOthGr Sitka Indian, feigning death,
lay beside George, but as soon as his ruse
was discovered he sought to escape By
fight, when, TO save him, as she thought.
his mother offered her life as ransom.
She ran toward the enemy, her arms aloft.
and cried: See how Sitka woman can

Anyone who has been in the habit of
observing the plants of any rural district
through which he has hesn passing, or in
which il may have been his lot to live,
will scarcely have failed to notice not
only how vary numerous the thistles are
every where, but also how considerable Is
the variety of form that may be noticed
amongst them. Sheir commences arises
from the fact that each of the very num-
erous flower heads they bear produces an
enormous number of seeds, and these, like
those of the dandelion or grour d-e!, are
furnisht with means that enable them to
float through the air for long distances.
Every passing breeZs lIbarates them in
scores, and bears them far and wide. 1t
is therefore a most difficult class of plant
to keep IN check: aud it is unfortunately
not only the careless agricultGTist him
self who suffers through the choking of
his crops by the vigorous growth of these
nsurpers, bot his apathy Ipficts no less
serious damage on bis luokless nei2hsors.
All such plants should DC carefully cut
down aud removed before the seeds de-
velop. In old times many severe laws
were passed requiring all such things to
be vigorously extirpated, and it would
surely oven now be no less an advantage
to more painstakiug and careful landhold-
ars if tome similar checks were put in
fore.
There is in some country dis riots an
old proverb, often quoted, cone years
seeding makes seven years of weeding;"
and we call to mind az this present time
as we write, small plot of ground near
to US, that in the hands of a careless far
ner has been allowed TO prodSc vast
crop of hurtful plants that will make
their influence felt all round the district
for years to come. Thorns and thistles
are by many good people regarded as
necessary curse, associated with the first
fall from primeyal innocence, but there
is certainly no warrant for any llstless
folding of the hands. Undoubtedly they
contribute their share to the necessity of
labor, but good wholesome work Is very
far from being a curse, and there is no
law against removing the thorns and
pests about the farm any more than in
the social world. Our lives and paths are
what we make them.

There can be great saving made by
reducing the amount of concentrated
food fed and increasing the degrees of
comfort and care of animals.
We do too many things without thought.
We pile up the food before our animals
and do not take heed how they est, or
how much or what the effects are. One
man will shove the meal into the man
gers of his fettening animals without
stopping TO consider whether they re
ouire the bslt Of It, and another wilt feed
all alike-slthough some of them may be
in securing coudition-and Their won
derinC who this or that animal should be
so, when they were all fed alike.
This Is the trouble; the one with the
loose bowels has weaker digestion and
should have less food, and little tonic
perhaps. man can tell by the e1cre-
ment of animals in regard.to their health
fulnesf, ard also whether they are fed
too much. An inspection OF this Will
show me undigested food, aud then the
lesson is plain,-to feed less, or TO give
food which will admit of Gem plete di
pestion. 1t is absurd that a COW ot ordl
nary steer eau take anything more than
four quarts of corn meal into its stomnch
at one time, and hsvv it all pass into
chyle. And this is what the meal IS given
for, and not TO make chime. The waste

they feed at this rate three times day.
1t has been custom with farmers, in

animals three meals Q day, no matter
when they get the first, the dinner is in

A days work when the grass ia just

on.
Experiments show that cabbage and
lettuce when the leaves are brought to-
gether and tied, head earlier than when
left open.
Now that the turnip crop is growing,
the young plants must be kept clean and
the soil loose. The crab grass will quick
ly destroy the crop allowed to root
among the young turnip plants.
Lime, in 6ne condition, sprinkled on
the vines and around them, will greatly
assist in protecting cucumber and squash
from bugs. Ssltpeter (ateasp oontui dis

Whatever it was about me that attract
ed his attention, writes Rider Haggard in
Harper's Magazine, the rhinoceros soon
smelled me, and within half minute af
ter the puff of wind had passed he was up
and turning around to get his head up

and shifted. and then he began to move.
first of all at a trot, then as the scent
grew stronger, at furious gallop. On
he came snorting like a runaway engine,
with his tail stuck straight up in the air.
If he had seen me lie down there he could
not have made a better time. 1t a.
rather nervous work, can tell you, lying
there waiting for his onslaught, for he
looked like a mountain of flesh. i deter

ant heap and waited for him, kneeling.
At last, when he was about forty var is
away, I saw that the time had come, and
aiming straight for the middle of the
chest, pulled.

tremendous snort over rolled the rhin-
ocerous beneath its shock, just like q
shot rabbit. But if | thought that he

another second he was up and coming al
ms as hard as ever, only with his head
held low. 1 waited till be vas within ten
yards, in the hope that he would expose

sort so | just had to fire at his head with
the left barrel and take my chance. Well,
as trek would have IL. of course the
animal put his horn in the way of the
bullet, which cut clear through it about
three inches above the snout and then
glanced off into space. After that things

for the second time that day went mag

seconds start, and l ran down wind-my
word, did run! Unfortunately however
my modest retreat was observed, and the
rhinoceros, as soon as he got his legs

knew he must soon catch up to me. But

The morgue, slch as We now see ii,
dates from the year 1864. 1t is exceed
ingly plain in point of architecture.
Every corpse that is taken to the morgue.
after being carefully cleaned from head
to foot, IS quickly converted into a block
as hard as stone. This result Is obtained
by Cares refrigerator. The bodies on
view may thus be preserved for any rea-
sonable length of time. This longer peri
Cd of exposure furthers the end of jus ice
aud gives more frequent opportunities
for Identification. The bodies may be
seen behind a glass partition, decently
laid out On twelve black marble slabs,
which closely resemble in form a camp
b,dstead. Instead of exposing them IL
their hidenus nskedness, with q rill of
water flowing over their inflated or ghast-
ly remains, as used to be the case, they
are now exhibited in their clothing, even
to caps and bonnets, the idea being to
give, as far as may be, the appearance
which the deceased offered when alive. In
the case OF corpses found without cloth
lug, the inspection is no longer public;
though. of course. every facility Is afford
ed persons IN quest of missing relatives
or frisHds TO see the bodies. Casual spec

witnesses of distressing Scenes, when
relatives of missing loved ONES, pressing
for ward to the glass screen dividing the
dead from the living, catch the first

their most agOniziDg approximations.
The corpses once frozen at this TEN per

erect on their feet, and should they fall

show steady yearly increase in the num-
Der of dead bodies received; 400 cOrrses
were brought in there in 1880; $40 in 1882;

not gain, my remedy is to shorten the
supply of oats and add some wheat bran,
and TO use the animal moderately. A
little ginger is simple and most e1-
cellent tonic, and oil meat is most e1
ceiient. When cattle are put up for far
ten1ng, the beginning of grain feeding
should be small, and they should slway :
have salt within reach. The same Is true
with horses, and when they have salt
every day they will seldom have worms,
and always have brighter coats. Fully
one-thlrd of the me al is wasted, as the
animals cannot use this excessive mass of
food except as excreta.- F. D. Curtis, II
