Chief Ironheart's Palcrace sealps.

Evidence of the approach of warm
weather is found in the stir among the
"rcd men," The Sioux Indians on the
Devils Lake Reservation Immediately
north of New Rockford, Dakota, stay in
their log huts and dugouts during the
winter, scarcely ever vcnturing out to
any distance. Among this tribe is one
dude IndiSn who comes to town fre-
quently and nearly always wears kid
gloves and a white vest. He is "a son of
old Ironheart, the leading chief, and
who was a leader in the terrible massa-
ere of Minnesota twenty-five years ago.
The old chief has received some educa-
tion and breaches to the tribe. Sundays,
in summer, the entire population take
their tepees and 60 and erect them near the
lodge Of the old sachem, and religious
services are held at various times during
the day. They all go home after even
ing services. The old leader, at whose
belt hung many a white scalp, talks in
regretful terms of the Minnesota massa-
ere, but any al.us,On TO the scalp-locks
hanging in his hut causes the eyes that
are now dimmed by time to sparkle in
way that speaks volubly Of the interest
the old warrior took in the battles with
the pale faces years ago. IS. Paul Globe.

THE BROOK,

Flowing down the sweet green valleys
BY the silver sunlight kissed,
Oft the tarrying brooklets dallies,
Meath the slowly rising mist.
In the dotted field Of daisies,
Like a sky with stars bestIewn,
Where the mellow melting haze is
or tho sultry summer noon.
Through the briery brake aud brambles,
Through the bending fern and flowers,
Ever sings it as it rambles,
Sings Of sunny summer hours
Summer hours are swiftly speeding,
Days that will no longer shine,
Mortals, Pass ye ye not unheeding
Here this song Of mine.
In the thicket there close woven
Where the woodland hangs oerhead,
Through the thicket bushes cloven,
Moves it in its messy bed.
Where above the blossoming branches
Bending, make a cool retreat,
There in ever ediying launches
Sings it bolder songs and sweet.
Earthly summers swift are speeding;
Suns that will no longer shine;
Mortals, pass ye not unheeding
Here this song of mine.

Making Paper Boxes.

Wonderful is the paper-box making
machine that an inventor has Just put
into running order at a paper box fac.
tory in Auburn, Maine. The operator
feeds in at one end of the box-maker a
squared piece of card board, and in less
than three seconds out it comes at the
other end, made up into a neat box, the
corners neatly framed together and firm.
ly sealed. 1t promises to revolutlonize
the paper-box making industry.
In the machine are 500 pieces, and
when in operation there are fifty distinct
motions, each of which is dependent
upon itself, there being no springs about
it whatever. 1t has a capacity of turn
ing out over twenty boxes per minute,
from the time the board enters the
feeder to the time it is delivered to the
first floor above. The machine can easi-
ly be adjusted to nearly any size of
a pasteboard box. The smallest box
that can at present be made is 2IX6
inches, and the largest SKIS inches. The
depth of the box must be under six
inches.
The operator starts the machine and
takes his station at the back, seated
upon high stool. First he takes about
five hundred pieces of pasteboard, of
perhaps 3x6 inches. One-half of these
he puts in at one side of the box shaped
mold, and the other half at the other
side. Then he takes the fiat squared
sheet of pasteboard, that has been prop
erly fitted, and lays it on the machine
table, in position where the feed roller
will drag it into the machine. over the
mold. The wheels all start simultane-
ously, and while one part of the machine
is doing its work, another branch,
further on, is getting ready to take d
turn at the box.
After the pasteboard has been drawn
in by the feeders, they at once are ele-
waited out of the way, and the part
called the "plungern comes down and
drives the pasteboard, which lies flat
over the mold down toward the bottom
OF the machine. At this stage of the
work the sides of the box are formed,
and also about half inch on the end o1
the sides and bottom is turned up and
pasted as the plungcr forces it down
! past the paste rolls. Then comes the
end pieces, which are drawn ilto posi-
tion by chain passing under them with
] "SiSAS hthoNLiSN'1 hO blltlb WlSh wv
end pieces slip down into the box-mold,
the chain urges the rest forward to be in
readiness for the next box.
Then, from behind, as it were like
a mighty wave, the ends are pressed by
the action of the machine at pressure
of about a ton. After this is done, The
plunger is raised, clearing itself, as il
does other parts of the machinery, from
the box, which drops below. Here {
wide belt with cleats riveted to it car
ries the box to the rooms above. AL
this is done in less that three seconds, Of
1900 boxes per hour and 12, 900 day
The inventor has in view machin,
that will make the cover of the box also
This is the first time the machine ha
been operated in any factory whatever
and proves to be a grand success

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
The Evening Lamp.

A newspaper joker says: "And while
the lamp holds out to burn there is no
danger of the average servant girl taking
the trouble to fill it." Lamps are trou.
blesome things. No matter how perfect
they are in the beginning, or how many
hundred thousand candle power the
light is warranted to be, the day will
soon come when the lamp-wick obsti-
nately refuses to be turned up in an or
derly manner. 1t will seem firmly
wedged at one SIDE, while the other
runs up in point, causing WEAKNESS
aud vexation of spirit. To overcome
this depravity take new wick, draw
out a single thread near the selvage, and
it will be found quite tractable when in
troduced into the burner. The cogs
will take it up properly, and it will ap-
pear in good form and give an even
flame when lighted.

The Popular Science Monthly says that
the most extensive forest plantations in
the United States, mentioned in the
"Report" of the Division of Forestry.
are those of the Fort Scott and Gulf
Railroad, and of Mr.. Hunnewell, near
darlington, Kan, of about $40 acres
each, Mr.. Burnett Land,eths plantation,
Of 800 acres, in Virginia; those Of the
Messrs. Fay and others, along the sea
coast of New England, and some of con
siderable extent in Southern California.
Small groves abound in the prairie
States, and are found less frequently in
the Eastern States, notably in New Eng
land. In the aggregate these plantations
must amount to a considerable area.

Home Made Chair Bottoms.

We lately visited some old acquaint-
ances, says the 1merican AgricRiturist,
and soon discovered that the chairs in
most request were three, the bottoms of
which had been replaced by one Of the
daughters. The chairs were originally
cane seated. When these gave way the
bottom was taken out. Straps made by
quilting together, on a machine, four
thicknesses of heavy bed ticking, were
passed around the pieces to which the
canes had been fastened, and made Sc
cure. Eight such straps were used, four
at right angles to the others These sup
ported a cushion, made little larger
than the chair frame. A row of fringe
hid the pieces over which passed the
straps. The cushion was fastened 10 the
straps. The chairs were easier than those
with the rigid cane seats, and had been
reseated longer than year, yet the new
seats were apparently good for a longer
period of wear in addition.
