Origin of the Cnstom of Smoking the Pipe

Origin OF the Cnstom of Smoking the Pipe
of Peace.
Catlinite, the sacred red pipestone of
the various tribes of Indians, is found in
quantity only in Pipestone County,
Minnesota, the county seat of the county
also being named Pipcstone. The In
dians claim that Manitou, the Great
Spirit, taught them the use of the stone
and commanded them to always gather
at the quarry in peace. For miles
around the quarry in every direction may
be seen relics of camps, now nearly
buried from sight, except where the
prairie has recently been swept by fire.
The Indians. not only of the near
vicinity, but of the whole northwest,
tell a peculiar legend to account for the
fact that the stone only exists at this
particular point They say that thou
sands of years ago remnant of red
men were driven by great deluSe to
the top of this rocky crest. Upon the
very pinnacle of the crest an eagle had
built her nest and was sitting upon her
eggs. The encroachment of the waters
finally drowned the entire party except
beautiful maiden, who clung to the
eagle for safety. When the waters
receded the girl was surprised and
Mortified to find her late companions
turned into solid rock resembling shin
ing jasper. Presently the Great Spirit
appeared and in solemn wrath vowed
that henceforth the tribes should meet
here only in peace; that no warwhoop
should be heard, but thereafter the
tribes should assemble at the sacred spot
once each year to wash off their war
paint and smoke the pipe of peace, in
token of which the maiden and The war
eagle should sacrifice lnilk-white bison
the rarest and most sacred beast that
ever trod the American plains.
On the following year, when the
ceremony was being carried out accord
ing to the wishes of the Great Spirit, a
fame from heaven scattered the blood
of the sacred bison all over the rocks.

ABOUT BEET SUGAR.
Wonderful Growth of Profitable I'm

Wonderful Growth of Profitable In
dustry In the German Empire.
The simple and inexpensive methods
adopted in tie German factories have
made the beet sugar manufacture one
of the most profitable of industries,
and the work goes on day and nj ht, at
!! prime cost for conversion of So per
ton of beets, or cent per pound Of
sugar, not estimating the cost of the
beet root, but including labor and all
materials used, like coal, coke, lime,
charcoal, wear and tear and interest on
the invested capital. The monthly dis.
bursements of such an establishment
exceed 100000, and give employment to
thousands of wage earners in direct
and collateral industries. One sugar cor
poration in France reported a net
profit derived from the manufacture of
beet sugar few years ago of So, 900, 600,
and the season did not extend beyond
100 days. Under these new conditions
the production of beef sugar in
continental Europe has doubled ia the
last decade: and after the home popu-
lations are supplied the surplus is
exported to Great Britain and the
onlteo States, reducing the price of
sugar in the markets of the world
more than fifty per cent.
The sugar refineries of tn country
use the peet and cane sugar indis-
criminately in the manufacture of the
block sugar of commerce and the family
grocer sells the imported refined beet
sugar at a price from 25 to so per cent.
above the price of cane sugar
Before our late war Louisiana pro-
duced more sugar than Germany, and
although the beet sugar industry in the
latter country was greatly stimulated
by the high prices of sugar prevailing
incident to the entire destruction of the
cane sugar industry of the United
States, yet as late as 1875 the empire
produced only $500 tons, while for the
year 1888 a production of 1900, 900 tons

THE BEST SOCIETY.
A Safe Resort for the Country Row IN :,

City.
When boy starts out from his country
home to try his fortune in great city,
he needs most of all to take good stock
of principles with him. He must brace
up his courage as if he were going into
battle. for he is sure to have a fight of
it, and he will need all his moral forti-
tude to stand out against the temptations
which will wreck his career beyond
peradventure if he yields to them.
What he seeks he cannot get except in
the fierce competition which results
from the struggle of many thousands to
obtain the same prize. If he slips.
there are multitudes around him to take
advantage of his mischance and to leave
him far behind in the chase. He must
keep himself always in training, both
moral and physical, and waste none of
his resources. He will require every bit
of his energy and every atom of principle
in him will be put to the test. He must
be prepared to help himself, for he will
get very little help from anybody else.
The first thing for boy coming to a
great city to do. is to take pains to start
with right associations. In every such
town there are innumerable circles of
society. The community is too large for
everybody to know each other, and
therefore itdivides up into many circles
OF common acquaintances, and in each
OF these the members are as we'll known
to one another as are the inhabitants of
village. They are good and bad, evil
in their influences and injurious in their
tone and spirit, or salutary and helpful.
Where, then, shall the country bow 90
for society? The best place is to a
church. In these days city church is
the center of many social no less than
religious activities. It is life of in
dustry in which men and women engage.
SO that something is going on cease.ess-
~, something to interest and to give
scope for the ability of young fellow
and to satisfy his social instincts and de-
mands. 1t is a community in itself and
nobody can belong to it for any con-
siderable length of time and exhibit
sympathy with its ambitions and pro-
jects without fitting into some place
where he can display his capacities and
win due consideration because of them.
He will make friends and useful friends.
He will have the social life and the
so cial surroundings necessary for him.
He should go to church from the first
and regularly; make himself known to
the pastor; and then without putting
himself forward take hand in all the
undertakings of the parish. If he is
patient the reward will come.
Even apart from merely religious
profit, such association will be Of in
estimable advantage to q youth who
goes to town astranger. There is much
talk in these days about .'rines" and
combines for evil purposes; but there
is one ring which is always good and
benefcent in its objects, and it is the
circle of the church. Inside it a Young
man forms the intimacies which most
contribute to his practical success, to
say nothing of his spiritual health

A MASTER HAND.
Eli Always "Got There" When 1t Cam
to Pumping.

Eli Always 'stiot There" When 1t Came
to Pumping.
A high opinion of himself and his i'm
portance to the rest of the world is un-
doubtedly most comfortable thing for
a man to possess, but it is sometimes
amusing to those who do not rate him
SO high as he rates himself.
Eli Saunders was a tall, thin, gawky
man who had always lived in little
village, and had never accomplished
anything worth mentioning; but he had
little money, more than most of his
neighbors. and considered himself a
very valuable member of society.
He was decidedly eccentric, and there
were people who contended that his
"head wasn't right However this
might be, he went his way, regardless
of criticism. He was fond of music,
and insisted on pumping" the little
organ in the church, Sunday after Sun.

love-" as he said.
whats the use of hirin' a flighty boy
that most likely won't pump even
strokes" he inquired, ''when here be,
ready an willin'?''
As he grew older he became more and
more convinced that his part in the
music on Sundays was one of great i'm.
portance, and often spoke of the skill
it required to pump an organ as it
should be done, neither too fast nor too
slow.
One day fine organist from distant
city came to the little place, and played
on the organ on Sunday. He held q
short conversation after church with
Eli, who went home much elated.
''He said I pumped stiddy an sure
as anybody he'd ever had;" announced
Eli in triumph to his meek, admiring
wife.
"s'posin' had given up pumpin', as
some of 'em have sujested, I'd like to
know how you think that hop-skippin'
Mason boys manner of pumpin' would
have struck this city man? Throwed
him all off his base, MORN likely.
But I let him see knew pumped

me few compliments. jest said:

body beat me at it, presume to say.
Jest let me git my bearin's, an a little
insight into the tune, an I can pump

was any number of pieces could pump
that he couldn't play. So what d. YOU
