The Color Of Indians

The color Of the Indian race varies
much individually, as does that of our
" Caucasian race, aud It also varies
thuth with the different tribes, 1t Is safe
to describe them IN general tetms as
brown. Some tfibes are Of a decidedly
light shade OF brown, while others are
so dark-the California coast Tribes, for
instance-as to almost suggest the negro.
Numerous individuals have been noticed
by travellers in some Indian tribes, as
the Mandau, Zuui and others, who are
30 light that the idea OF their descent
from European peoples gained currency.
It was chiefly this fact that lent weight
to the theory %propounded less than 100
years ago that colonies of Welch had
been planted in the wilds Of America.
As we know now, however, these hight
colored Indians are simply Of a natural
light brown, or are albinos. OF the 1t.
ter class perhaps those at zuni are the
best known.-San Francisco Chronicle:

RECIPES.

Baked Fish-Clean, rinse and wipe
dry n fish weighing three or four pounds;
rub the fish inside and out with salt and
pepper; fill with a stufing made like
that for poultry, only drier. Sew it up
and put in a hot pan, with some drip

Calls Liver Saute-Slice the liver.
Throw boiling water over it for a
minute. Have some butter very hot in
a frying-pan, and lay the slices in,
turning until cooked firm; place on a
hot dish. Squeeze l~emon-juice and
sprinkle parsley over the top. Add the
butter in which the liver was cooked and
serve.
Curry of Cold Meat-Put three table.

SHOULD noes HAVE sArrl

Salt has often been called natures
vermifuge, and it is no doubt a fact, be-
cause long experience with domestic au-
finals has shown that all herbivora, when
deprived Of salt, will sooner or later suf-
fer from the presence of intestinal
worms. Swine are not an exception to
the general rule, and salt is Just as nee
essary for them as it is for cattle, as it
not only destroys intestinal parasites, but
aids digestion, and prevents intense
acidity Of the stomach. When hogs are
fed Stops from the kitchen they get con-
siderable salt, but when fed exclusively
upon grain, especially at the time of fat
tening, each animal should be given
about one ounce of salt daily, mixed with
its food or the water given it to drink. If
farmers would pay more attention to the
chemistry Of the food given to their
hogs, they might escape severe losses
from such common diseases as cholera,
catarrh and erysipcl New York Sun.

DUBIOUS wERs.

Here are instructions for growing
bulbs indoors given by an English au-
thority in such matters:
Bulbs grown in the sitting or dining
room require only that Il damp atmos.
phere should be kept about them, and
light is not wanted until they are pro-
crossing freely. The bulbs, when ported,
will do we'll in the bottom of a cupboard
if set in damp moss or anything of that
kind, and q small portion of the same
s~prinkled over them. In glasses the
water should not be allowed to touch the
bulb, though very close to it, and rain or
soft water should be used. When lodged
in the glasses, the bulbs should be put
in some cool place where light is ex-
cluded-say a eupboard-there to re-
main five or six weeks, and when the
roots are well developed and the swelling
bud and spike starting freely they may
be gradually Injured TO the full light.
The water should not be changed, but
filed up occasionally, and n small lump
of charcoal kept at the bottom. From
the time the flower begins to show, the
more light and air given the better.

ArterIal blood Flow.

One of the most interesting of thenew
psycho-physiological instruments is the
plethysmograph, which indicates the
least flow of blood in the arteries of the
arm. BY means Of it, observers have
found that when the sentence of the
Judge is read before a criminal there is
a decrease in the flow of blood in the
arm, but that the sight of aglass Of wine
increases the flow. Again, when it is
required to perform an arithmetical cal
culation, to multiply, for example, nine
times seveuty-three, an increase in blood
flow is the result.
The flow is little affected in a brutal
murderer or born criminal when a pistol
is shown to him, whereas IN the normal
man the plethysmograph indicates a de-.
cided effect. Thus involuntary testi-
mony is supplied as to the nervous and
physical nature of the born instead OF
the accidental criminal. London Chron-

rnEAT NM COWS KINpLY.

Cows are naturally of the kindest dis
position of any four legged animal upon
the farm, and they should be treated
kindly and not abused by the mixers
and drivers. The practice of sending a
dog after them and allowing him to rush
them into the milk yard, exhausted and
excited, is a practice that will cost each
year from ten to twenty-five pounds of
butter for every COW MIXED. Drive the
COWS leisurely to and from the pasture.
II you are in a hurry let the driver make
double quick time when he is going to
and from the field not a ccompanied by
the cows. The throwing of stones, sticks
or other missiles should be forbidden, and
the operation Of milking should be done
rapidly and with but little or no talking.
Should the COW make a mlssosp or switch
you u~npleasantly during hy-time don
speak SO sharply as to stsFtls her. IL

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Transplanting two or three times helps
in the formation of fibrous roots.
In growing berries for market the best

BAKING

SIT is strange" said an expert chef,
not long ago, 'that baking sheets are
not more used in private ia miles. They
are much more convenient than the little
cramped pans that are generally used for
biscuit and cake. A baking sheet is
properly male of sheet.iro 1t should
be made to fit into the oven, so that no
space is lost, aud consists simply of a
sheet of the metal without either wired
border or welded corners. The edges of
the sheet are turned up about half an
inch to assist in removing it from the
oven. Cookies, ginger.snaps, round
cakes of every sort, biscuits and loaves
of bread are more easily aud efTectually
cooked in this way than in any pan.
Bakers always use these sheets for any
dough which Is not so soft as to run.
They take the place of several pans and
are much more easily washed and taken
care Of than any regular pan with its
sharp corners. Such a sheet fitted to an
ordinary oven will cost but seventy-hve
cents when made to order of the very
best quality of Russian sheet-iron. -

not, but most certainly adds filth to the

CLEANING A TOP BUGGY,

A leather top of a buggy requires care
full and regular attention to keep it in
good condition. 1t is much injured by
the ammonia vapors of a stable, and
therefore should be kept in a separate
house or shed where it is not exposed to
the weather. 1t should always be cleaned
when brought il from use, especially if
it has been splashed with mud. This
acts like a blister and takes the color from
both owe and body. The cover is first
washed with a rose nozzle and force
pump, but not with a hard stream that
will fierce the dust or sane in the leather.
This will quickly spoil it. When the
dirt is washed of in this way it is once
more rinsed with clean water and then
left to dry, or is softly wiped with linen
cloth or a chanois skin. 1t is then wiped
softly with a soft sponge and castor oil.
This is done while the leather is damp.
1t will not crack, and will keep its color
and gloss under this treatmcnt.-New
York Times.

DRUNKENNESS AND cR1Mr.

Justice Denman, one OF the wisest and
most experienced judges Of the English
bench, recently saidi
At the first assizes over which 1 presided
at Durham, twenty years ago, there were
nine cases OF murder, every one of which
was directly ATTRIBUTABLE to drink On the
last occasion pom which it was my painful
duty to infict the penalty OF death II was
uto on n man who had murdered his mother
while under the influence of drink. 1t was
drink that was at the bottom of almost all
the offences of violence that had been tried
before me. At Liverpool AssizeS recently,
out of sixty-three persons for trial, thirty
six were for offences directly attributable
TO excessive drinking, Within the last two
months / had before me one hundred and
eleven prisoners for trial. IL might not be
generally known that the judges were sup
piled with a record of the antecedents OF
each prisoner. For my own part | never
referred to this until after the conviction.
During my visit to Cromsr l had examined
this list and, among the one hundred and
eleven prisoners, l found there had been
recorded one hundred and thirty eight pre-
vious convictions for drunkenness, thus
proving hat drink had exercised a baneful
influence in their degradation. Burglary,
poaching, house-bresking, and similar
crimes were almost invariably plotted by
confederates in public-houses.

INFLUENCE or OATS AND BRAN ON MILK.
1t is quito well understood that the
quantity of food consumed influences the
yield of milk and that certain foods aud
grasses influence the color of butter.
Numerous experiments exhibit results to
prove that an increase of the same ration
will increase a cows milk yield, but not
the quality of that yield. By a few it
is believed that the quality of the milk
can be changed very ~perceptibly by
changing rations. Others maintain that
the quality of milk depends solely, or al
most SO, on the individual animal, some
giving rich milk, others a poorer article.
At the Colorado Station experiments
were made with four cows, for the pur-
pose of testing the comparative effects
Of wheat bran and cat chop (that is,
ground oats) on the fat of milk. For
the first period the ration morning, noo
and evening was two pounds of oat chop
and all the alfalfa hay they would eat
and all the water desired, but with no
other food. For the second period clear
wheat bran containing no shorts was
substituted for the oat chop.
From a study of the tabulation it ap.
pears that the quality of the milk was
quite perceptibly influenced by the
change of food given these cows. In
each case the wheat bran produced the
best result in the production of fat in the
milk; there is also evidence extant that
bran causes a better flow of milk than
oats. While the COWS gained in weight
on the oat chop, each lost a few pounds
on the bran ration. The difference in
either case could have been caused by
the difference in water drank at a single
time.-New York World.
