in it's capacity for colonization. In Britain
it has established itself all over the length
and breadth of the land; but is chiefly, il
not altogether, confined to houses, irhabit-
ing kitchens, sculleries, bakehouses and
such like places, where plenty of food can
be obtained. Nothing that is edible and
many things that ere not usually considered

to almost every article Of human food, such
apparently unpalatable objects as WOODEN
garments, the greasy rags used IL cleaning
steam-engines and other machinery, shoes
and other articles of leather, and even books
and paper, enter into its bill OF fare. ln
warehouses and on board ships the ravages
it commits are great, whole barrels and
sacks of -four, corn, rice and other articles
of like nature being sometimes consumed by

effect that those whose business 1t is to re-

not very careful to separate the spice from
the insects-whjch sometimes constitute
nearly half the contents OF the bags-but
tumble them together into The mill. Though

swamp, he hastened to the spot
and found Nancy Mckenzie with
a smoking gun in hand, peering
towards the roots of an upturned
fir tree. On asking her what she
had shot she replied in French
for she only speaks Indian and
French-that she had shot a bear
standing against the root of the
tree and was not certain whether
or not she had killed him. The
doctor admitted that his knees
smote together little when he
looked in the direction indicated
and saw a great shaggy object
rolling about on the ground. Nan
cy said that she was out of amuni-
tion and asked him to give Bruin
a parting shot. The doctor was
frank man, and he again admitted
that he shot and that the bear
died, but that on examination it
was found that he had not touched
a hair.

The Maori Race.

The Maoris who inhabit the
three Islands situated in the South
Pacific ocean known as the colo
ny of New Zealand, are, mentally
and physically, the finest race of
aborigines in the world. They
are copper-colored race, not un-
like the american Indians in tint.
The men are large and powerful,
and the women are mostly hand
some.
The Maoris are the only colored
race who use the tattoo to 'desig-
nate the standing of their chiefs
and princesses. The Maori king
has not spot on his face that is
not tattooed. In tattooing they
first boil the leaves Of a plant that
grows in the woods, making jet
black. Next they secure some
peepee shells, that are very sharp
on their edges, and laying the boy
to be operated on on his back,
where he is held by two or three
strong men, the tangi, or medicine
man, commences cutting scroll
work on the boys face laying the
flesh open with the edge Of the
shell. He then lays the ink in the
wounds. On full-blooded chief
it takes from five to eight weeks
to finish the tattooing, and near
ly a year for it to heal up. This is
a most painful mode for decorat-
ing the person, but the young
chiefs are always very anxious to
have the operation performed.
| One of the grandest s1gnts in
their history was war dance per-
formed by over 5000 Maoris, led
by Queen Emma, queen Of the
Napuhl tribe. This woman stands
over six feet high and is built in
proportion. She is the best speci-
men of her race to be found in the
colony. The war dancers wnrL
like q well-trained ballet, and
dance without making any false
motions.
The Maoris are very industrii-
Gus, and you will find them tilling
their lands all over the country.
They are not afraid to work, and
they have become a great credit to
their country.

KELs0A'8s s RED LAKE BILL.
In these days Of that legislation
which is looking up measures for
1.-THE advancement Of the Indian.
land at the same time is obeying
1.-The clamor fog the reduction and
1abolltion 81 reservations, & the
thoughtful mind will find much to
consider. As between the whites
and the Indians, there are oppos-
ling interests, and in the desire to
reconcile differences of opinions,
we find legislators themselves di-
vided as to the best means of solv.
ing the problem.
But on the whole we believe
there is strong desire on the
part of the Senate and House In
dian Committees to deal fairly
with the aboriginal owners Of the
soil, consistently with what is
deemed necessary action in regard
to the demands for reduction and
abolition Of reservations. .-
! Upon due reflection, we believe
it can be fairly asserted that two
prevailing sentiments must be
modified before any satisfactory
conclusions can be reached. One,
for convenience sake may be
termed sickly sentimentality; and
the other, greed. The romantic
halo thrown about the Indian
character may have it's proper
place, but that place is not in the
practical affairs of this life. While
the system of patronage has done
much for the Indian in the past,
it finds no favor in the eyes of the
frontiersman, and who now is ex-
1erting powerful influence ii ma
tional legislation.
The Indians best friend is he
who is laboring for his rights
without appealing to sentiment.
This much must be conceded to
the Westerner that has practical
knowledge of the follies of his red
neighbor. But while conceding
this we also wish to remind the
Westerner that the red man has
virtues as well as vices, and be-
cause he is in possession Of these
better qualities he is entitled to a
due consideration of his RIGHTS;
that public obligation to morality
demands attention to these rights,
and that respectful hearing be
given him and his friends. And
appropos to this, is the train of
reflections which follows a study
of the Red Lake Indians of this
State.
There are differences of opinion
relative to the merits of the So
called Red Lake agreement en-
tered into two years ago by the
n orthwestern Indian commission,
as also regarding the Red Lake
bill recently introduced in Con.
gress by the Hon. Knute Nelson.
The two are antagonistic in
many ways. There are features
in the first which threaten its
passage, because to some they seem
to give to the Indians an advan.
tage which the opposing sentiment
cannot tolerate.
The Hon. Knute Nelson believes
he voices the sentiment of the
fifth district when he opposes the
Northwestern commissions agree
ment, and introducing his bill as
a substitute, and it is but natural
to believe that the friends of the
former will defend it, and inter-
pose objections to the substitute.
| We have no room for elabora.
tion, but will say briefly that
while both measures contain much
| that is good, neither just as the
bills are framed meet with the
sanction Of the majority. The
members Of this reservation are
not pecuniarily interested in any
way with those Of the Red Lake
