WINNIPEG, MAN, Sept. PA terrible
tale Of starvation ard des!itution among
the Indians comes from the far Eor:h, be-
Ing al A.hzbascB, II the Pace river coun-
try. Owing 70 tie great mortality OF
beAvsrs end other small gsme the Indians
both last winter and summer have been
in O perpetual ssate OF starvation. Both
the food supply CT the Indians and their
power of procuring clothing have been ei
fected. Tcsy ere now in complete state
of destitution AID unable to pro-
vide themselves with clothing, ammuni-
tiop, etc., for the winter. The above
scarcity hss greatly decreased the num-
Der Of their dogs, so necessary to the
Indian for travelling and hunting, which
have persisted, thus seriously increasing
the difficulty of obtaining o livelihood.
At Like Athabhecs and ct some other
Lakes o great failure of the fall and win
ter fisheries during the winter of 1886 81,
between the Peace and Athsbasce riverF,
on account OF starvation and consequent
cannibslism party OF twenty
nine Cree Indians was reduced
to three. In the Mackenzie
River district there were several cases OF
death by starvation and one or more Of
csnnibslism. During last winter the Fort
Chippewyan Indians, between twenty and
thirty, starved 10 death, ana the death Of
others was accelerated by wsnt OF food.
party OF about twenty Beavers had to
be conveyed from Grand Prairie, near
Dunvegan, Pesce River, to Lesser Slave
Lske, to prevent their starving to
death. Some of them died after arriving
there. Many other Indisns-Crees,
Beavers and Chippewysns-at almost ali
points where there are missions or trad
ing posts, would certainly have been
starved to death but for the help fur
ISAjshed by the traders and missionaries st
those places, furnished very often At
great personal inconvenience. Scores OF
fsmilies have lost their heads, are now
perfectly helpless, and must stsrve to
death or ees one another unless help

The potcntato did so with mono Of
the best grace, it must be said, and
then took his departure with as much

1t was none too soon.
The white stallion, which had until

Hawks IIscrnl to Farmers.

The report of the commissioner of
agriculture for 1887, recently issued,
inclu les a report of the assistant orni-
biologist OF the department, De A. K.
Fisher, on the food OF hawks and owls.
This is based on the examination of 1912
stomachs Of these rapacious birds and
will prove of special interest to farmers.
In Massachu3oJts, for instance, the three
commoncst large hawks are the marsh
hawk-usually seen flying low over
meadows and marshes, and conspicuous
for its white runp-and the red-taile /
and the red-shoulderel hawks. The two
latter are most often noticed soaring high
in air, and among people generally are
known as "hen- hawks, . implying that
they prey upon poultry.
d ctor Fisher AMI his associates ex-
amined the stomachs OF 81 hawks,
with the following results: Twenty five
contained poultry; four contained
quails; five contained crows; thirty five
contained other birds-sparrow' etc.
two hundred and three contained mice;
ffty-fye contained other mammals; and
twenty-four contained insects. =

Paper Made From Tree Tops.

The discovery OF new use of the
cotton stalk, for paper pulp, is followed
by the discovery Of method of utiliz-
ing the tops of pine and spruce trees for
the same purpose. This at once makes
marketable a avast mass of hitherto waste
material. 1t is a sort of waste that has
led to untold mischief in numbering
regions, because, having become dry, it
has been the originating place of near
ly all forest fires in lum Der Districts.
Hereafter tho tops and branches of all
cvergreens will be gathered, and being
steamed to extract the rcsinous matter
will be ground into dry pulp. This is
portable to any distance, when it can be
used il paper manu- 'acture. Tho effect
Of the two discoveries on paper pro-
duction will be enormous, and for the
advantage of the press and people. 1t is
impossible to avoid the conviction that
in due time we shall discover that
nothing need be wasted, but that all
things are useful when properly under
stood. i LGlobe-Domocrat.

y Tree of China.


tfGg ..a tIIorticolo call, attention
to the valuetof tho oil yielded by the
eed of the coil tree of China and
Japan. This tree resembles in habit
and ia folisge the common fig tree.
The fruit il capsule the size Of an
orange, formed of several cells, each
containing largo thick-shellod seed.
These seeds contain an active purga-
tive principle, and are not edible. They
contain, however, 40 per cent. OF their
weight Of a clear, colorloss, limpid oil,
possessing remarkable siccative proper
ties This oil is used largely in China
and pan IA tho manufacture of lac
quers, in making water proof cloth, and
in painting buildings and for Ii hts.
An oil tree five or six years old may be
expected, it appelrs, to produce an
average annual crop Of from 800 to 400
pounds Of seed. 1t thrivcs on dry,
sandy rocky soil, and has been found to
succeed il some parts Of southern
France, where, and in Agiers, its more
general Gu tivation is now urged. Ex.
pcrimeuts with this tree should be made
in California, and as it is found in the
northcra Island o' Nippon, it may be
expected to be hardy in many parts OF
the I ited Stntes.
