A Trip to Wounded Knee.

On the morning of Saturday. the 11th, a
party left Pine Ridge Agency for Wounded
Knee. After . drive of seventeen miles
through beautiful country we came to the
battlefield. The field is dotted with little
stakes wherever an Indian fell. Stones
and stakes mark the positions Of the
soldiers and hostiles, and large stone
marks the spot where Big Foot fell. Upon
the hill, where the cannon stood, in long
narrow trench, sleep 116 Indians. The
grave is enclosed with q neat wire fence.
We visited the grave, walked over the field,
and saw the deep ravine from which so
many shots were fired The Indians hid
in the ravine, and whenever . soldier ap-
peared shot him. This IL tho first time l
ever trods q battlefield, and could not
help thinking what terrible thing war is,
whom looked at tho stakes and then at the
long grave; but hope and think the days
of war are over.
We ate our dinner under the trees on the
bank Of the Wounded Knee river. The
country is dotted with trees. The Indians
are progressive. We saw only ona tepse.
All live in houses. They have their little
farms and gardens, and to all appearances,
are anxious to succeed.
There is government school here and the
Presbyterians have = missien house, and
the Episcopalians have workers here also.
The farther the Indians are from the
agency tbs more progressive they are. We
called at few houses, as they like to be
taken notice Of and to feel that white peo.
pie are friendly to them.
After spending an interesting and beau
tiful day and enjoying delightful ride out
and back, we arrived at the agency about
$50 p. M, tired and ready to retire.
There were fourteen Of US, and genuine

HYPNOTiZED BY A SNAKE

The Remarkable Adventure of a Hcnn-
sylvania Nan.
A remarkable snake story was told /.
by resident of Clarion county recent
ly, says the Oil City Derrick, au! but
for the unimpeachable character Of shc
narrator would sound like "saake
story" He stated that farmer who.
lived near Clarion while in q field vTns
attacked by snake fully ten feet in
length. The reptile coiled itself around
the farmers waist and glared d1ze,tiy
in his face, evidently trying TO c5Iaxrr,a
him. Shaking Off the dizzy feeling eaHseti
by the snakes hypnotic gaze, the farm
or cut it to pieces with the scytlse sEsd,'
then, exhausted with fright and over
exertion, sank to the ground.
The head of the snake, with portion
of the body, lay near him and the Pc
culiar color caused him to pick Il UI,.-
and he found it was an albino SEaek--
snake. The peculiar formation Of the
snakes eyes caused him to eSglrniHe
them closely and he could hardly be-
lieve the evidence of his senses when,
he discovered a perfect reproduction os
his face photographed in the cenIsr OF
the eye. He brought the snake back TO
town, where it was photographed and
preserved in alcohol. The negative
taken by the photographer shows the
snakes eye perfectly with the faxJneris
face showing us clearly as if also sssasen
with q camera.

A Handy Way to Send Money!.

There is one detail in connection with
the German post Office that forces itself
on the admiration of the foreigners. If
you desire to send money, you hand in
the sum at the post Office, with q post
card costing five cents, which you nd
dress to your correspondent with de-
tails OF the sum sent, and receive a re-
ceipt in exchange. But you need write
no letter, send no postal order or re-
ceipt, nor trouble your correspondent to
go to the post office; the postman de-
livers to your correspondent at his
house or office your postcard. and in re-
turn for half of it hands him at once in

A good story is told by the Modern

after she had gone. Returning to the

ary was met by the head man of the
community, who cheered and delighted
her by this intelligence: Teacher, we

ELECTRiCITY'S FUTURE.
Ito Boundless Possibilities-A Scientists
Opinions on the Subject.


Opinions the Subject.
Prof. Oliver j. Lodge thinks electrici-
ty is mode of manifestation of the
ether, that strange medium which is
supposed to pervade all space and to
carry light from sun to planet and from
star to star.
Prof. Crookes says that in a single
cubic foot of the ether, in which the
earth is submerged, ten thousand foot
tons of energy-that is, force enough
to lift ten thousand tons one foot-lie
imprisoned, only awaiting the magic
touch of science to be loosed for the
service of man.
Prof. Nicholas Tesla has already sue
ceeded in producing in a room an cleo
trostatic field, into which, if glass
tube exhausted of air is carried, the
tube will glow with light and il
Illuminate the room like lamp. 1t now
appears, as Prof CroolSes says, that "a
true fame can be produced without
chemical aida flame which yields
light and heat without the consumption
of material and without any chemical
process" Those who have studied the
chemistry of the candle will appreciate
what this means
To telegraph without wires, to get
light without heat, to make solid walls
in effect transparent-sucha are some of
the strange possibilities after which
students of electricity may now strive
with fair hopes of success.

The Chickens Of Guinea.

As a specimen of what selection will
do, it may be observed that roosters
and hens among the Rucuyenne tribe
of Indians in the western part Of
French Guinea are perfectly white.
Not a colored feather can be found
among them. The natives have no
tradition of a time when their ances-
tors had fowls Of other colors, but the
white chickens are probably explained
by the fact that white feathers are the
choicest ornaments among this people,
and they will not wear feathers Of any
other color. In fact, their fowls are
raised more for their feathers than for
the cooking pot. It is supposed that a
long time ago, when their ancestors
chose white as their favorite color,
they gave the preference to those fowls
which were nearest white, reserving
the others for the cooking pot, and by
constantly breeding from fowls that
were white or nearly SO the present
breed of chickens was evolved.

A Canine Crab Catcher.

A gentleman who lives on Chesa-
peake bay has an interesting dog who
amuses himself in fishing for crabs.
The Newfoundland is in the habit Of
wading about in shallow water, and
when he finds crab he prances around
it until an opportunity presents itself,
when he seizes his find and carries it to
the beach. Then he plays with his
catch, as cat tantalizes mouse, until
the crab is helplessly exhausted. The
crabs often fight back to the best of
their ability, and it is often difficult to
say which has the tightest hold, dog or
crab, for the latter fastens its claws in
the dogs lip and struggles until killed.
As the dog never eats his prey, it is
evident he hunts the crabs for the sport
afforded.

OSTRICH FARMING.
Tho Immense Trade in Plumes in South
Africa.

Africa
Ostrich farming is one of the impor-
tant industries in South Africa, which,
as yet, furnishes the bulk of the ostrich
plumes for the markets of the world.
There are probably two hundred thou
sand domesticated ostriches in Cape
Colony, says the American Agricultur-
ist. Each bird is supposed to net it's
owner forty dollars per annum. The
Enclosures in which they are kept are
usually built of stone, but where stone
is not abundant wire fences have been
employed with equal success.
The birds are commonly plucked
once every eight months, yielding one
pound of feathers each, but many farm
ers only pluck sixty feathers at time,
so as not to cause too much irritation
and resulting inflammation, which is
very injurious to the health of the
birds and lessons the next crop of feath-
ers. The birds, in these large fields,
find plenty of food, rarely having to be
fed with mealies, beans, lucerne or
other cultivated food products.
The number of eggs laid les from
eighteen to twcnty-four, the male bird
usually cxcavating the nest in some
sandy spot, but both birds assisting in
the incubation, taking turn about. But
it is during this period of incubation
that the plumes are at their best, and
many of them are utterly spoiled for
commercial purposes. Of late years
artificial incubating has been resorted
to and with perfect success, for it has
been found that fewer eggs are spoiled
by this method, and that the young
thus Matched are no less vigorous than
those brought up by the birds them
selves. The value of feathers exported
from Cape Colony during the past thirty
years is estimated al over fifty mil
lion dollars, the total weight being
about twelve hundred tons.

The Railroader Threatens to Adjourn the
Legal Functionary's Court.
There is a capital story being told Of
adeservedly popular judge, says Lon
don Tid-Bits. He lives on the Great
Western line, and a week or two ago
entered train at Paddington, which
went right through to its destination
without stopping. This means that
the worthy judge would fly through his
own station about twenty miles down.
He did not wake up to this fact until
the familiar scenery near his station
told him where he was and the rate the
train was going how he was situated.
Quick as lightning he pulled one of the
alarm bells, and the train drew up at
the station. The guard rushed to the
carriage.
"Who pulled the alarm?" cried the
guard. II did," replied the Judge.
what for?" because ! wanted to
get off," The guard thereupon made
some remarks to the judge more forci-
BILE and less respectful than he was
accustomed to hear. His lordship
thereupon complained to the station
master, who told him that he would
inquire into the matter. When next
they met the judge asked the station
master if he had reported the guard
for his insolence. 81 spoke to him, my
lord, when he came through on the
slow train," he replied. ''Well, what
he say2" "Well, my lord. he said he
would come up some day and adjourn
your COURT" The judge appreciated
the mans witty way of saying that
he had the right to control his own
train, and did not pursue the matter
further.
