he dreaming as he looked upon the picture
ne had painted upon the rock? Was it not
the blue-eyed maiden with cheeks like the
hush Of sunset on the snow?
The Iroquois waited. Then ne heard q
murmur as Of the winds stirring the leaves
and then the rustic of rapid footsteps; and
as he started to his feet, the forest behind
him was thronged with Algonquins warri-
ors. There was silence for an instant, and
then an hundred bows were bent, and an
hundred arrows struck him.
But as he turned to hurl defiance at his
enemies, warrior form bounded upon the
parapet; it caught the arrow-studded figure
tottering upon the brink in its arms and
screamed into its dying ears: IT am here,
Oh Iroquois," and then two forms locked
together swept from the high banks to the
depths below, and the sparkling river sang
then, as it sings yet, the funeral requiem
Of the Indian braves.

A phenomenal instance of development is
afforded by the plate glass manufacture in
this country. The industry, though scarce
ly eight years old, has succeeded not only
in building up the Allegheny Valley, but
in driving France and England out of the
American markets. Ten years ago i'm
ported French plate glass was selling in the
United States at 81 30 per foot, and now
American plate glass, which is finer prod
uct than the French plate, sells at 81 per
foot. To-day there is not one-half the
amount of French glass sold in the United
States that is supplied from England, and
both supplies form less than one-half the
amount imported few years ago. This
wonderful stride has been made possible by
natural gas, and that the fact is appreciated
is shown by the recent large acquisition of
gas territory by the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company, which now controls Il, 900 acres.

BRIGHT SCHOOL GOSSIP.
Tho Teachers Chief Desire-The Annual
Examination for Provislonals-Visitors
Day and Pupils Teeth.

Tho Teachers Chief Desire-The Annual
Examination for ProvisionnIs-Visitors
Day and Pupils Teeth.
1t is the desire of many of the teachers to
wind up the school year with a regular good
old-fashioned teachers institute. Accord
ing to the programme arranged for this
years institute work, there yet remains a
general one to be had, and, instead of having
outside lecturers hold the fort, the tendency of
belief is that home talent will WELD the gavel
and will essay at will upon such subjects as
Should the Speller be Used as Text Book?''
and like themes for controversy, and that all
the last of this seasons institutes be marked
by the enthusiasm of the olden times.
Superintendent Luckey yesterday COM
menced his examination for all persons desiring
teachers provisional certificates. One hundred
and sixty-two applicants were examined in phys
iology, music and orthography. Next Saturday
the studies Will be grammar, composition and
penmanshlp.
The North School windows are being sup
piled with awnings, which partly do the duty of
the cid trees lately cut down. The space &C.
corded by the absence of the trees is eventually,
it is said, to be made promising flower garden.
Visitors, or opening, day'is occurring quite
frequently among the various schools, and it
is amusing to note the various devices and
tactics that the teachers call on to enlist the
support of their pupils for their best efforts
and appearance for the event. One bright and
gay young teacher, who has a number of
pupils at the age when they lose their first
teeth, saw to her sorrow that a number of her
pretiiest girls, who would likely make a good
impression for the great occasion, were losing
one or two front teeth. She told them and the
others how careful they must be and
not lose any more teeth till after open
ing day." They took it very seri-
onsly tor the teachers great Amusement.
Me- onAh 1@e@ e. g. I,w- Dw.N,
morning last week little girl came up and Sc
ripusly said: "Oh. Miss G., I lost my tooth.
tried so hard TO keep it in; but 1 took a drink
and it slipped right away! l told mamma how
sorry you'd be that lost 1t before opening
dayr' With twinkllng eyes the teacher COM
mented on the serious drawback.

EDUCATED sQUAws.
Some of the Young ladies are educated
even in the classics. A female seminary
has just been completed at cost OF $50, 900.
With an iron fence and furniture the total
cost will be 100000 On last Tuesday this
building was dedicated. A pretty process
sion of Sunday school girls, dressed in
white and carrying banners, marched
through the streets, preceded by band OF
music composed of indians. Arriving at
the grounds, speeches were delivered by the
chief and other dignitaries. A choir OF
young Indian girls sang songs in both
Cherokee and English.
Besides this female seminary there is one
for males. built at cost oil 100000. And
then there are about 400 other schools in
the nation, some of them being mission
schools. The Cherokee Government is di-
vided into three branches, executive, legis-
lative and judicial, and they have Com
stitution similar 10 that of the United
States. 1t provides that the affairs of State
shall not be administered by anyone not be-
Heving in God.
The chief of the Cherokee Nation is j.
B. Mayes. He has very little Indian blood
in his veins He is elected for term of
four years, and receives a salary of S. 900 a
year. His duties are similar to those OF
President of the United States. The legis-
lative branch of the Government consists of
a lower house of 40 members and an upper
house of Is members.
HENRY GEORGES FOLLOWERS,
The Cherokee Nation proper embraces
5000, 900 acres ef land. The Cherokee out
let contains 10000 acres. The land is
held in common, as provided for in their
constitution. Each Cherokee citizen is en-
titled to just as much land as he can con-
venientlY handle. There has been much
agitation of late looking toward the opening
of the Cherokee outlet (the unoccupied land
Of the Cherokees), to settlement.
From present indications, it seems to me
that the Cherokees will be 10th to part with
it at any price the Government would pay
for it. The Chief refuses TO call the Coun-
Gil together to act in the matter, claiming
that change in the constitution must be
made by the people, before any of the land
OF the Cherokee Nation can be disposed of.
As no change can be made in their national
constitution until August in 1891, when the
general election occurs, it is not probable
that the Cherokee outlet will be made part
of the public domain of the United States
for some time to come. BOOMER.

Production Of Salt.

At one time nealIy the whole of the salt
used as food and for industrial purposes
was obtained from the sea, and in many
countries where the climate is dry and
warm, and which have convenient sea-
board, great quantity of salt is still so
obtained. Two hundred and fifty thousand
tons are produced yearly in Portugal, and
an approximate quantity on the Atlantic
and Mediterranean coasts of France. Spain
turns out from the Balearic islands, the Bay
of Cadiz and elsewhere 800, 900 tons annual
ly, and even the small seaboard of Austria
produces 10000 to 1000 tons.

Tight Collars.

Prof. DR.. Forster, Director of the Uni
versity ophthalmic Clinique at Breslau,
has recently drawn the attention of parents
and pedagogues to what he believes is often
the cause of short-sigbtedness In the young
-nomeIv that thew are afInwed n 1ToSr -
lars which are too tight for them. The pro-
fessor appears to have excellent reasons for
his deductions, for in 800 cases that came
under his notice the patients were suffering
from a chronic complaint, indicating dis
turbance in the regular and normal flow of
blood, brought on by the wearing of collars
which were not large enough.

The skin is covered with a concentrated
solution of tannin and retattooed with this
in the parts to be cleaned. Then rub with
an ordinary nitrate of silver crayon over
the parts, which become black by formation
of tannate of silver in the superficial layer
of the dermis. Sprinkle tannin powder on
the surface several times day to dry 1t.
A dark crust forms, which loses color IN
three or four days, and in a fortnight or SO,
comes away, leaving reddish scar, free OF
tattoo marks, and in few months hardly
noticeable.

Flower Earma.

Among the many new industries that are
being developed in this country is the rails
ing of flowers for the manufacture of per-
fumert. 1t is stated that altar of roses can
be made in Florida as successfully as in the
gardens of Bulgaria. The two varieties Of
roses used are the musk and damask, and
the special conditions of soil and climate
necessary for their proper cultivation are
seldom to be met with, being confined in
Europe to tract of land in the Balkan
Mountains, 80 miles wide and 800 long. On
the southern slopes Of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, and in parts of Florida, these
varieties of roses flourish abundantly, and
it is claimed that 18 acres well managed will
yield $4,000 per annum. Other flowers,
such as jasmine, violets, lilies, jonquils, etc.,
are also used for distillation and absorption,
or enfeurage. In the latter process, sheets
of glass are spread over with layers Of pure
fat, somewhat less than quarter of an inch
thick, and over this fat are shed the fresh
leaves of the flowers. In very short time
all the odor is absorbed by the fat, which is
cut up into small square pieces and put into
alcohol. The scent at once unites itself to
the alcohol and is fit for the market.
