Farming in no Indian r. ,r..ory.

An Official who has spent the best year,
If his life in dealing with the crimes and
the people OF Indian territory talked
freely about the condition Of things there
lie said:
The end of the present political con
dition of the Indian territory is not fan

railroads, the great number of white men
and the peculiar condi ions existing ther'
are fastening solution of the problem
I find on talking with ,he principal men
among the India rs that they agree with
me. The railroads get no grant, but the
employes are allowed to settle on the
right of way The towns are full of
white men without rights. and in such
numbers ~ to bc undisturbed, and To
possess privileges that no one disputes
The manner in which the soil is
worked is most peculiar and forms one Of
the greatest abuse and one Of the strong
est agencies for the overthrow of the In
dian supremacy. The fact that the land
is rich and valuable, taken in conjunction
with the fact that the Indian does not
like to work. has naturally brought about
a condition in which the whites do the
work and take large share Of the profit
and give the Indian the rest. Under the
law no Indian can sell or rent his prop
erty, but he eyades tho law very easily
He turns his property over to the white
man by pretending to hIIe Liil 80 farm

Ecuador's Ancient Civilization.

Here in these mountains, until the
Spaniards came, in 1884. existed civil
cation that was old when Christ was cru
cified-acivilizatio whose arts were equal
to those of Egypt, WI 'ch had temples four
times the size of the Capitol at Washing
ton. from a single one of which the Span
iards drew $4,000 ounces of solid silver
nails, and whose rulers had palace from
which the Spaniards gathered an unmeas-
, ured quantity of silver and gold. Here
was an empire stretching from the equa-
tor to tie antarctic circle, walled N by
the grandest groups Of mountains in the
world, whose people knew all the arts of
their time but that of war, and were con
quered by 2l3 men under the leadership
Of a Spanish sw:aeherd, who could neither
read nor write.-American Magazine.

Temperance and Regularity.

temperance is superior to regularity,
and there is nothing regular in nature
everything is governed by circumstances
and environment. The animal, vegetable
and mineral kingdoms are irregular; they
may run by the season. but not to the
minute or the hour Eat the right thing
At the right time, follow the dictates OF
your appetite. and eat and drink with
moderation This is the kind of regu-
hrity observe. Inever have taken any
note of the hour or minute for taking
meals or doing anything else-circum-
stances control me. You may inquire
what moderation is, and may say what Is
moderation for one may be immoderate
for another. Very true The answer to
this is that if persons DO not know what
Temperance and moderation are, il is their
misfortune. The plain truth is, that few
persons ever find out how to eat and
drink until age overtakes them and II be-
comes too late TO reform. Wilson Mac
Donald in Herald Of Health.

4 GnXcrnnr of Greenland.

The governor of the Danish colony Of
Greenland receives by the ship which
brings him his annual supplies, copies OF
The daily papers Of Copenhagen for the
year preceding He arranges these pa
ncrs in the order of their dates. and then
quietly and calmly reads paper each day,
Just as though it was fresh from the
press. He is sometimes strongly tempted
TO peer into futurity by reading some pa
pers ahead when he comes across interest
ing news; but he resists the temptation,
no matter bow anxious he is to know the
fate of some measure. One days paper
for each day is his rule; and so at the end
Of the year he is thoroughly familiar with
tho news of the preceding year, He says
ne is Just as happy as though he pulled
each days paper off the press.-New York

A Curious Supcrstition.

One of the most curious of the many
curious superstitions of women you can
have daily illustrated by taking walk on
any crowded street. Wherever you find
two women walking together. should they
happen to stray apart SO that another
person could pass between them, an
should such person attempt TO do so.
you will see them give start of conster-
nation and draw together so as to prevent
this passage. 1t is, | believe, considered
the worst of bad luck. worse, even, than
passing under a ladder. to have stranger
pass between two friends. The ladies'.
believe consider that there is only one
more deadly peril held in store for them
by chance. This is to present your hus-
band or sweetheart with pair of slippers.
an act which, am told, will inevitably
lead TO his walking away with your af-
fections Alfred Tumble in New York

Now there is another rush of invalids
like that of the consumptives who go to
the abattoirs TO be cured. This time the
rush is by rheumatics who believe that
they can be cured by standing near the
dynamos in electric light establishments.
This new fad grows out of the idea that
men employed in the manufacture or use
If electricity never have rheumatism or
neuralgia 1t is said to be fact. and
another statement is that if rheumatic

An Agitation in India.

An agitation is going on in India against
the slaughter of cows for food for the
soldiers. 1t is pointed out that it takes
over 1875, 900 cows every year to feed the
soldiers, and that the iIindpos them
selves very rarely touch meat. living
upon rice. vegetables and milk. Once
even the poorest could have all the milk
lie wanted for his babies and himself, but
now it is impossible for the villagers to
get milk even for infants whose mothers
breasts have failed. and the failure of the
breasts is due chiefly. also. to the lack Of
cows milk. Thousands of children die
on this account yearly.-Chicago Herald.
