WIGWAM ROMANCE.
The Modern Red Man IA Disappointm
to Sentimentalists.

The Modern Red Man IA Disappointment
to Sentimentalists.
In these times we are but little dis
posed to associate any thing either like
romance or danger with the subdued and
poverty-stricken remnants of the Indian
race. Now and then, indeed, we have
met with newly-arrived European to
whom the Indian of the wigwam is still
the fierce and noble savage of Cooper
and the other romancists of red life and
character.
Such sentimcntalists are usually much
disappointed on being for the first time
introduced to the modern wigwam. No
scalps stretched upon hoops, and hung
out in the sun to dry, are there to arouse
their sensations. The squaw of the es-
tablishment has her feet incased, just
as likely as not, in vanished Balmoral
boots. If her lord and master is not out
in the bush, snaring rabbits, or cutting
switches for the manufacture of baskets,
he is probably lying somewhere about
the place in limp heap, performing a
wild and irregular war-song through his
nose, under the influence of his real idol,
the whisky-bottle.

massacres away in the Northwest, is
naturally puzzled and uneasy at the
mild form in which the aboriginal is
nere presented to him. He observes
that the papoose of tender years is as
lmportunate for money as any small
White mendicant of the city pavements;
also that he knows bad copper from a
good one when he sees it, and has a
sound opinion generally on the subject
of currency; and the disappointed Euro
pean goes his way, perfectly convinced
that there never could have been any
romance really connected with Indian
character, and that, as for the modern
red man, he has no more bite left in him
than rattlesnabe deprived of its fangs.
AS a generul thing, all this is true
enough when predicted of the miserable
remnants of Indian tribes that still
haunt the borders of our great lakes
and rivers. Nevertheless, they yet have
q romance of their own, which comes to
light only now and then, and after much
CLOSE observation and intercourse with
them. The poorest wigwam, like the
lordly castle, has its traditions; and the
further from the haunts of civilization
the wigwam is situated, the more thrill
ing are its legends.-N. Y. Ledger

POULTRY ITEMS.

IF you are searching your iocks for
the good layers, select the pullets that
have long combs and long bodies.-Farm
Journal
If the question were put to every ex-
perienced poultry breeder: "To what
cause are nine-tenths of the diseases OF
chickens to be attributed?" the reply
would probably be: 'Vermin and damp
ness."-American Poultry Yard.
WHEN flock of hens do not pay, the
best plan is to pick out the ones that
are laying and sell off the others 1t is
sometimes the case that there are too
many of them together. A few hens
we'll kept will produce more eggs, pro-
portionately, than larger number.
The most successful breeders of ducks
use turnips cooked and thickened with
bran for ducklings, and they serve as a
very satisfactory diet for geese in win
tor. But little grain is necessary II
poultry are well supplied with cooked
roots.
ONE of the most interesting features
of the turkey business is the way tur-
keys are put on the market. The farmer
who dallies in this branch of the bucolic
profession is blessed with one article
which he does not have to cart O dozen
or more miles to town and hawk around
from door to door.

BIBLICAL HISTORY.
IT'S Correctness Established by the Re-

Jts Correctness Established by the Re.
searches of Modern Archaeological.
Assyria, Palestine and Egypt are
yielding their buried treasures to the
magicians of civilization. and reporting
facts of startling significance 10 scien-
lists and religionists. The recent dis
covery of the palace of Amenophis Ill,
of Babylon with the great library of the
period, consisting chiefly Of cuneiform
tablets carries us back thirty-five hum
dred years, or one hundred years be-
fore the Exodus, when the Babylo-
nian language was in the ascend
ant throughout the East, and the Baby
lonian power was supreme in the world.
Preserved on clay tablets in the archives
of the palace are tho records of the wars
Of the great kings, with Babylonian
names, dates and other events that con-
drm the primitive history of the Penta-
teuch, so far as the Babylonians were
related to Palestine both before and
after the Israelitish conquest. Professor
Sayce completely surrendcrs to the
archaeological evidence of Assyria in
support of the credibility of the Old
Testament in it's historical revelations,
and answers higher criticism and
infidel science with the unimpeacha-
BILE facts of history. He also is
of the opinion that Palestine will
reward the archeologist with unex-
pected proofs of the accuracy of the
Old Testament in underground libraries
and in various symbolical and monu-
mental resources that the future will
appropriate, to the discontinue of the
critic and unbeliever. Already Egypt
is yielding up her historical insides into
the lap of the antiquarian, establishing
that Rameses III. was the Pharaoh of the
| oppression, and that the route of the
fsraelites to the Red Sea, as detailed in
the Bible, is exactly correct, with fe-
licitous confirmation of all that it re-
cords regarding the stay of Israel in
Egypt. 1t is gratifying coincidence
that Just now. when the attempt is being
made to discredit the history in the Old
Testament, and to reduce some portions
of it to myths the antiquarian reopens
the palace doors of Babylon, knocks at
the gates of Royal tombs in Egypt, un-
covers the graves in Moab and Philistia,
and eXhumes the treasures of Phnnician
glory from their long-forgotten hiding.
| places, to find records that repeat in
part the story of the patriarchs, and in
hundred ways confirm the genealogies
the wars, the customs, and laws of Israel
| from Abraham to Solomon. This is
more than an illustration of literary en-
terprise; it is proof that the foundation
of civilization standeth sure, and that
the divine history knows how to take
care of itself. Archaeology, the latest
born of the sciences, is contributing
quite as much to the education of the
first principles of religion as any of the
older sciences, with their boasted age
and achieVements.-Met thodist Review.

The Odors of Flowers.

1t has been remarked by later botan-
lists, as peculiar commentary on some
modern speculations as to the objects OF
odors in flowers, and in connection with
supposed agency of insects in cross
fertilization, that in most large genera
only few species have odor. In the
very large family of violets, for instance,
only one European species, the well
known sweet violet of florists, has
grateful odor; and in like manner,
among the American species, only one,
the white Viola blanda) is sweet. In
the same way, among numerous species
of Rescda, only the one which is known
as mignonette has grateful fragrance
This, they say, is the rule among large
number of genera. II, therefore, they
conclude, odors were given to flowers in
order to make them attractive to insects,
it seems remarkable that only one OF
two species in so many genera should
have developed this attractive gift

FEEDING STOCK.
The Stockman Must Be Governed In This
by circumstances and surroundings.

by Circumstances and Surroundings.
No plan Of feeding can be considered
best under all conditions or be the most
profitable at all seasons, says the st.
Louis Republic. What will be the best
in one locality will not always be the
best in another. The purpose for which
the animals are fed will make differ
ence in the rations that should be given
| if the desired results are to be secured
economically.
When rotation of crops is carried
out and different kinds of stock are kept
with view of using all the various
products to the best advantage, combina-
tions can be made that will lessen the
cost of feeding the stock kept on the
| farm or fattened for market All things
| considered, the best plan of general
| farming is to carry out a regular system
of rotation, growing q variety of crops
and keeping sufficient number of the
different kinds of stock to consume them
| TO the best advantage.
During growth it will be found quito
| an item to use such materials as will
| develop bone and muscle. After tho
animals are matured and are being fin
| ished for the market, materials best cal.
culated to secure the laying on of fat
should be used. Stock that is being
wintered over will require more or less
| food that will aid to maintain animal
| heat. This is unnecessary during the
summer, and in this latter season rather
a cooling diet will be preferred. With
cows kept for milk different ration
should be provided from that used when
fattening cattle for market. Brood sows
or growing pigs need different ration
from hogs being fattened for market.
Science in feeding implies the selection
and combining of such materials as are
best adapted for and will secure the de-
sired results at the lowest cost.
The advantage in cutting and grind
ing all the feed is that a better oppor-
tunity is afforded of making what may
be termed complete rations, and lessen.
ing the waste.
During the winter, with all classes OF
stock, more corn should be given in the
ration on account of it's value in Great
ing and maintaining animal heat, and
with fattening stock because it pro-
notes the laying of fat.
| Bran ana oil meal make good feed
for COWS and all kinds of breeding stock
because they increase the flow of milk.
| Oats and barley are valuable to feed
to all kinds of growing stock because
| they contain the elements needed for
the development of bone and muscle.
They are also good feeds for summer be-
cause they are cooling.
Timothy and red-top hay are best for
horses, while clover and millet are best
for milch cows and sheep. Glover is
best for hogs, while blue grass and
pasture grasses are best for horses and
sheep. In this way all the farm products
| may be used to the best advantage by
| feeding out to stock, and there will be
less waste than when speciality is
made of one or two kinds of products,
or one or two classes of stock.

THE NAVAJO BLANKET.
How This Wonderful Indian CoverIet is
Woven.

How This Wonderful Indian Coveriet IL
Woven.
The Navajo tribe of Indians own inn
mense fiocks of well-bred sheep and the
wool clip averages 10000 pounds an
nually. A part of this finds its way
into the regular market through the
traders, but the greater portion is care
fully selected for the manufacture OF
blankets, After being cleaned, carded
and dyed by a process known only to
themselves, tho wool is ready for the
loom.
The weavers are important person
ages, and will only perform the labor OF
making the blanket, therefore the work
of erecting the hogan, which contains
the loom, devolves upon the squaws.
The hogan is made by planting six
rough-hewn poles, about eight feet
high, in the earth at regular in
tervals, forming small square.
On top of these boughs of trees are
placed to form roof and shade from
the burning rays of the sun. The CEN
ter poles form the sides of the room,
and about foot from the top and bot
tom cross poles, with holes bored
through them for the warp, are securely
fastened with rawhide thongs.
The warp is made from the abers of
the yucca tree. 1t is treated in man
ner known only to those who prepare it,
and the secret will not be divulged to a
white man, therefore their blankets can
only be duplicated in quality and texture
by themselves. Formerly these blankets
were made solely for their own use, byt
since they were conquered by the Gov
ernment and thrown almost entirely
upon their own resources for liyeli-
hood the value of their blankets was
impressed upon their minds by traders
and has become the leading industry
