Some boys and girls are content with keep
ing common rabbits, while others, more
chary in their taste and choice, stock their
little rabbitries with the more expensive
fancy breeds, which in point Of beauty Of
co<or are unquestionably more worthy Of at
tentiou. Fancy rabbits are a little more
delicate and require therefore more care in
their management than do the common ones.
The wild rabbit in general appearance
greatly resembles the hare, yet tie two
species never intermix The tame rabbit was
originally the wild rabbit, which We have
domesticated and made larger by liberal
feeding and care. Common rabbits vary
greatly with regard to color, some being
black. others white, others mouse color,
Others fawn, some brown and some gray
with tawny feet.
fancy rabbit, in addition to perfect
shape, must have what is termed q good
carriage The correct arrangement Of colors
is a very important point, though the ears
are the most striking popularity Of the fancy
breeds A rabbit is termed horn Topped"
when its ears descend obliqusly forward
from the side of the head and project out far
beyond the nose. Another style of carrying
the ears is that OF spreading them out horl-
zontaIly on each side; the animal possessing
such ears is termed an ''oarlop.' Then
there is the that" or perfect top" one Of
the most valuable of all the fancy strains;
this carriage of the ears Is exactly the re-
verse of the natural position, and rabbits
possessing it, if perfect in other respects, are
highly priced

me, has large interests in Alabama, and a
large part of the iron regions of this state are

regions Of the south is having, say men mere
from the different parts Of other southern
states, an influence in the general stimulation
OF southern enterprise and at no time during
the past twenty years have the southern peo-
pie been more alive than they are now. Many
of the southern cities are holding expositions
yearly, and these are having a radical inf1u-

not financial success, was success in the
education of the people and in the stimulation
Of industries. and the expositiOns at Atlanta

It often happens that two boys with the

parity in results:

Tho onondaga Indian Tribe.

A good picture of the state of affairs
reprobated by the recent Indian coun-
Gil is seen in the case of the Onondaga
tribe. This tribe owns q reservation
of 6. 600 acres on the site of the old
council fires of the Six Nations. These
5000 acres are uniformly of the
choicest farming landss and include
stone quarIies of the finest gray lime
stone. Out the Indians neither farm
their lands nor work their quarries.
There arc twcnty-six chiefs for 400
members Of the tribe The old Indian
language is still IN common use. The
state of morals is absolutely indescrib-
able in decent English. The tenure Of
land is tribal The remuneration of
Christianity is q requisite to election
as q sachom; but nominal Christianity
is professed by about half the tribe.
The Feast of the White Dog is cele-
brated with indecent ceremonies. The
question of what to do with the In
dials is now necessarily to be recon
{ ..ured. 1t is not enough to hold them
- reservations and feed them. Globe

A Primitive Telephone Line.

A correspondent at Lake Megantic
sends the particulars of a telephone
line that has at least the advantage of
simplicity and freedom from paying
tribute to telephone company. The
correspondent says:
"In Moose River, Me, they have a
telephone working between the New
ton house and store about half mile
distant. The receiver and transmitter
are all one. They have hole cut in
the wall and within have placed a
small frame covered with sheepskin.
To this the wire is attached. The wire
is suspended with tarred rope. Any
one wanting to speak through the tele-
phone simply raps on the frame. The
rapping can be heard ten or twelve feet
from the receiver at the other end of
the wire 1t has been in operation
about two weeks now and gives good
satisfaction. The natives are delighted
to get talking through it"-Detroit

peculiar sound, battling all efforts Of

only uttered by tho malo, and there is
the Same variety in tho sound made by

voices. Usually tho cry begins and
ends with sort of grunt, somewhat
like the below Of q domestic
cow cut short, but the inter
lude is a long drawn, melodious,
flute like sound that rises and
falls with q rhythmical cadence, float
ing on the still evening cir, by which
it is often waited with singular dis
tinctness to great distances. By other
individuals, or even by the same indi-
yldual at various times, either the first
or last of these abrupt sounds is
omitted, and only the other, in con-
nection with the long drawn, silver
toned strain, is given.

Leave Your windows Open.

All the higher organisms plead hard

Keep them open a little, or much,
night and day, as long as possible.
When you use double windows don't
have the outer or storm window fast
lened on the frame and depend only on
the almost useless little slit of an open

named a ''ventilator," for your life

hung with hinges SO that it can be
opened wide, as well as the inner one,
