The North American Indians, whose
legends are n most interesting mine of
strange traditions, make the drum the in
once lost on the plains and overcome with
fatigue and despair, lay down on the
sward and fell asleep; when, behold, in
his dream he saw the heavens open and a
car made Of offers descending from the
sky with inconceivahle rapidity. In the
car We're twelve beautiful girls with golden
wings, who played celestial music upon
drums of gold Among them was his dead
wife, thus sent to him by the Great Spirit
to show him the right way out of the laby-
rinthine prairie. She directed him, point
ing with her drumstick, in the way in
which he should 90. The car flew up. the
hunter awoke and the heavens We're re-
sounding with the drums of the celestial
maidens and of the angels in the vaults

\ strange pendant to this tale. denoting

legend supplemented by a practice. At
stated festivals among certain tribes the
elders of the tribe produce four sacred

Preserving Flowers and Ferns.

Take very fine sand, wash it perfectly
clean and when dry sift it through fine
sieve into pan. When the sand is deep
enough to hold the flowers in an upright
position, take some more sifted sand and
carefully cover them. \ spoon is a good
thing 10 take for this as it fills in every
chink and Granny without breaking or
bending the leaves. When the pan is
filed solidly, leave the flowers to dry for
several days 1t is a good plan to warm
the sand in the oven before using il, as the
flowers will then dry more thoroughly. In
taking the sand off, great care must be
taken rot TO break the leaves, as they are
now dry and brittle. Pansies preserved in
this way viii keep their shape and bril-
hancy Of color all winter, according to the
New York Tribune, and many other flow
ers can be equally successfully treated
anything, in tact, where the full pressure
of the sand comes on both sides of the leaf,
otherwise they will shrivel. To fill in
flowers with cuplike shapes it is better to
lay them on the sand and with a small
spoon fill in and around each flower Ferns
when preserved in this way have a more
natural look than when pressed, and the
maidenhair fern looks almost as we'll as

THERE are very few persons who know
where to look for the milling on gold and
silver coins. In almost every instance
where asked. 90 persons out OF
every hundred will answer the question
by pointing to the futing or corrugations
on the outer edge of the same. The fol-
lowing now going the rounds of the press
will enlighten the reader on the point in
question:
What is the milling" on a dollar or
other coin? Probably not one person in
500 would answer this simple question
correctly. There is popular belief that
the corrugations on the rim of dollar
are the milling. A San Francisco Chron-
icle reporter thought so, too. until the
point happened to arise in conversation
with c. NJ. German, coiner of the mint.
Mr.. German went into the counting room
and picked up blank" round piece
of plain silver cut out of silver bar. 1t
had gone through one N ichine, which
had slightly rounded the edges.
The blank was dropped in a mill
lug machine, and when it came out u
second or two later the rim was fat and
the edges of the rim were raised a little
above the level of the sides. The verb
milling" is this raising of the rim OF q
blank piece of money, and the noun
milling" is this plain raised rim without
reference to any corrugations anywhere
The purpose Of the milling is to protect
the surface OF the sides from wea- The
mi led blank was dropped into a stamping
machine, from which it dropped per-
feet dollar. While in the machine the
piece dropped into a corrugated collar,
and the piece expanded under great pres

tons and became similarly corrugated

OLE BULLS JToPlAN DREAM.
1 Pile of Stones Covers the Place Where
He Essayed to Build a Castle.

He Essayed to Build a Castle.
After Ole Bull had fiddled his way into
the hearts of the American people and had
accumulated large fortune he undertook
to carry out a long cherished dream. He
wished to establish acolouy of his country
men in America. and for this purpose be
bought, in 1852, over l2, 600 acres of land in
the unbroken wilderness of Potter county,
Pa
Ole Bull located 300 Norwegians and
Danes on his possessions. The price he
paid for his lands was about $4,000 1t
was his intention to found four towns
These were Walhalla, New Bergen, New
Norway and Oleona. They were laid out
with view to the future and work was
commenced. Mr.. Bull also began work on
a castle a mile or two from Oleona, which
was to be pretentious structure for the
lord of the colony. Each settler was pro-
vided plot of ground and set to work.
Unfortunately for the success of the col
ony, Ole Bull had no knack of protecting
himself against INSCRIPTIONS sharpers,
and his lands were found to be involved in
such a manner that questions arose as to
the titles. Thus it came about that in
1853 many of the colonists left. They were
also compelled to undergo a good many
privations which they were unaccustomed
to. The great trees which stood in the
way of cultivation of the soil presented
an obstacle they did not know how to re-
move They grubbed the forests out with
mattocks instead of telling the trees with
axes. The hardships of the Wilderness
and of the pioneers life discouraged them.
In year or two the colonists had nearly
all scattered, the most of them going to
Wisconsin and the northwest, and Mr.
Bull, disheartened, his property gone and
the savings of his lifetime gone with his
youth, left his colony and his cherished
hopes and returned with his violin to en-
terrain the people again with his une-
qualed music.
Walhalla and New Norway fell into de-
cay, the castle was abandoned-an unfin-
ished pile of rocks-and the lands passed
into the hands of William Radde. who sub
sequently founded a German settlement,
which was more successful.
OF the Ole Bull colony, a few remained
II Oleona. which i ii thriving hamlet. New
Bergen is also still wayside settlement
y few of the colouists survive, but the
founder, Ole Bull, died in Norway.
When the colony was first projected it
may be expected that Ole Bull had a great
many friends who wished him unbounded
prosperity and success. From these friends
came to the cclOnists donations of machin-
cry, appliances, stock, etc. \ notable gift
was from Henry Clay, the distinguished
kentuckian. who sent a number of fine
Kentucky cattle and horses from his tine
