Then grinding his teeth he managed TO

Buffalo that Il was going over the Falls

that | was not dressed in tights with dou-
ble-leaded bridge jumping shoes he al
lowed me to pass. 1t was here at the ba-
zar that | met my old friend Pocomoco
of the Piute tribe of Indians "And
what are you doing here, so far away
from home, Pocomoco?' | asked in the
light running domestic accents of the Pi-
ute tongue.
Il am here, he replied in the same Ian
guage, "to secure our regular supply of
Indian relics for the coming year. We
cannot compete any longer with Connec-
ticut in the manufacture Of genuine In
dian relics. So we come 10 Niagara Falls

and our ornamental massacre business
is done there, too. The white man has
facilities which we do not have, and SO
the red mans goose is practically cooked.
We can buy arrow-heads cheaper than

last us a year? We have in our tribe IA
vored free trade, and 50 we, with our in
FAINT industries, are thrown into direct
competition with the relicmakers of the
Bowery. You can buy good scalp at
Chatham Square for sixty-nine cents to-
day, and SO the war-paih is practically
overgrown with grass. In year or two
men with sample cases will no doubt visit

are utterly discouraged. There has not

Enemies Of Plants.

Cut-worms often do considerable mis-
chief in cutting off plants newly set out
in the field. These are bred from eggs
laid by various night-hying moths. They
eat during the night and during the day
lie concealed under rubbish or beneath
the surface Of the soft ground. They
choose low, succulent plants and grapes,
feeding OH cabbage and corn only by ac-
oident they come to them or for lack Of
something else. Cut-worm injuries to
cabbage may be averted by planting
them only when there has been clean
culture for several months previous, but
this is not always convenient to do. As
soon as ground infested by these worms is
plowed those not destroyed by the plow-
ing and narrowing or by the birds may
be trapped by making small heaps Of
weeds and grapes at little distances apart,
under which they will collect and hide
and where may be found for several
mornings and destroyed.
The cabbage plant louse is often de-
structiye, and so numerous as to cover
the whole plant and hinder its develop
ment, or at least seriously effect its mar
ket value. Again, Pyrethrum powder
busted from a hand bellows has been
found the most eficacious remedy, as it
reaches more than the spainkled insecti-
cides.
The cabbage root worm is the laryal
stage Of a fly about the size of a common
house fly. 1t is a white maggot, pointed
at the head, footless, the body gradually
increasing in size toward the hinder end
where it is squarely cut of, When full
grown it is about one-third Of an inch IN
length. For a remedy it is recommend
ed to dip the roots of the plants in a COM
pound Of one part kerosene emulsion to
twelve or fifteen parts Of water at the
time Of planting.
Club root rarely or never attacks cab
bages planted in virgin soil, but is most
common in soils which have been occu-
pied by cabbages in previous seasons.
For this disease the various insecticides
have been tried without any good effect
When once the fungus has entered the
root there is probably no remedy. As a
preventive, chloride Of lime is recon-
mended. Make a solution with not quite
enough water upon the powder to dissolve
all OF it and thoroughly stir it; then
taking one payt of this solution to two Of
three parts Of water, apply to the roots Of
the cabbage at planting and to the soil

From the peasant up to the King,
Has a different tale from tale tell.
And different song TO sing
But for me, and care not a single iig,
If they say am wrong or am right
| shall always go in for the weaker dog,
For the under dog in the fight.

VIII never moment stop,
To see which dog may be in the fault,
But will shout for the dog on top.
But for me, | shall never pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right,
For my heart will beat while it beats at all.
For the under dog in the fight.
Perchance what I've said had better not said
Or 'twere better had said it incog;
But with heart and with glass filled chock to

Important rimbar.CuI.urc Decision.

Secretary Noble has rendered an important decision giving construc- ton of tho timber-culture law, in which he reverses the policy of the department that Las prevailed for the past few years, and defines the policy which will govern on this question in the future. The question came up on the clam of James Hair, who bought relinquishment of a timber-culture claim. Tke law was complied with in all respects, and the question involved was whether the land was devoid ol' timber, so that it could originally have been entered under the tim mberculture law. It was.shewn that there were few small trees or bushes on the clam. Heretofore the Interior Department has held that ene or two trees on claim constituted timber in sufficient quantity to preclude an entry under the imber-culture act. Secretary Ne ble reverses this rule. He says, after reviewing tho law at length, its intent, its spirit and the country to winch it applies:
 No arbitrary rule can be estab- lsshed for the government of every case. It should be the desire of the departmentto ascertain what the in- tent and ppspsse of Congress was in the passage Of the act. Clearly it was to encourage the artificial growth of timber in prairie country. It is within the experience of all mankind living in prairie regions that in drains and ravines few scattering trees are to be found, and It would not seem that Congress intended to exclude tracts of that kind from the timber culture act. It stands to reason that it was not the purpose to deprive the occupants of the vast prairies of the West of the benefit of the act if there happened to be single tree upon the section. 1 take it that the words prairie land or land devoid of timber within the spirit of the act, means land practically so.'

Irrigation in India.

The officers of the Irrigation Branch of the Public Works Department, say the Indian Engineer, who are respon- sible for the administration of the splendid irrigation system in the Pun iab, have received well-merited con- gratulatiens, both from the Local Gov ernment and the Government of India, on the excellent progress made during the year 1697-S8, and on the good re- suits obtained. This important sys- tenn has now total mileage of 3730 miles of canal and 4961 miles of dis tributaries, and during the year under revIew irrigated an area of 2,250,081 square acres. The system comprises the Swat River Canal, p miles; the Western Jumna Canal, 366 miles; the Bari Doab Canal, 354 miles; the Sir hind Canal, 542 miles, of which 319 run through British territory and 223 miles through Native States; the Low er Sohag and Para Canal 94 miles; the Sidnai Canal, 37 miles; the Chenab Canal, of which only 62 miles out of the totai length of 115 miles have been completed; the Upper Sutlej Canal, 220 miles: tAe Lower Sutlej and Che nab Canal, Al miles; the Indus Canal. 700 miles; the Shahpur Canal, 92 mlles;;-snd the Nuzuffargarh Canal 1 .723 miles. The cost of maintaining such an enormous system is, of course, very heavy, and it is not surprising, therefore, to learn that during the year total of 20a lakhs of rupees (S676,500) were expended on the va rious works, ct which s lakhs were spent on the Chenab Canal, a similar sum on the Sirhlnd Canal and 3 lakhs on the Western Jumna Canal. The total expenditure up to the end ot 1887-88 was Rs 5,41, 1,70,520 on major works, on which percentage of 4'23 was obtained during the year, and 1861 ,151 on minor'works which yield ed revenue equivalent of 1915 per cent. The principal crops grown within the irrigated area are wheat, cotton, rice, sugar cane, jowar and maize. and during the year under re- view represented an estimated value of Rs. 6,84,66,306. The general result of the years working may be sum- marized as follows: The estimated value of crops irrigated by the canals is higher by IF lakhs than the esti- mate for the previous year; the net profits have improved to the extent of 6 lakhs. and are now equal to a return of per cent. on capital outlay. The area irrigated, which has been 9radu- ally developing, is new more than d third larger than It was five years ago "A lakb is 100000 rupees, and at the present actual value of the silver cur rency of India IS worth about $33,000, each rupee being about 33c. American coin.

Russia Developing her Territory.

Baron Rauner, of the Russian i'm. perial household, sent to this country to obtain information regarding cot ton, wheat and tobacco culture, but mere particularly to study our meth eds of irrigation, is now in California, To an Examiner reporter, the Baron said: "The reasons of this mission oi mine are historically of interest. The extension of the Russian frontier has given our country millions of acres oi arable land ia western Turkestan, in the great hollow plans of tbe Caspian and Ural basins.
 "It is just about the same sert of country as you call your desert lands here, and the climate is identical. Merv IS in the center of this section, and the wrecks of the great irrigating ditcnes about the ancient capital are proof of its cultivation centuries ago.
 'They are similar to those which have been introduced along the Salt river, in Arizona. The Emperor is anxleus to make this country preduc- tive again. He has made a donation of 500,000 reubles toward this end. am to look at the methods used in diff ferent countries and then render my report.

A Chicago Times reporter feigned insanity and obtained admission to an asylum for the purpose of learning the truth of the allegations of cruelty charged against that institution te- wards the unfortunate inmates. He played his part so cunningly that the learned physician in charge carefully studied his case and declared him in- curably insane. Nevertheless he wit messed the most inhuman brutality te- wards the patients, ending in the mur- der of one of them and now the grand jury has indicted the superintendent and several of the guilty nurses. It is an incontrovertible fact that news paper reporters have been more sue cessful in fsrreting out crime and bringing the guilty ones to justice than all the detective agencies of the ceuntry.-Flsrence Enterprise.
