The Buffalo range once extended from
Great Slave lake to the northeastern prov
inces of Mexico, from the Rocky noun.
tains to the highlands GOO miles west of
Hudson bay. In the United States the re
mains At buffaloes have been found west of
the Rockies-for example, in Oregon, and
also in the Great Salt lake basin. In DAYS
gone by tribes in the north and in the
south, in the east and in the west, were en-
tirely dependent upon the migrations of
the buffalo The natives used to look for
ward to the coming of these animals with
great anxiety and much joy. Perpetual
warfare kept each tribe well within it's own
territory, so that if the coming of the buff
falo was for one reason or another DELAYED
1t meant ruin and perhaps starvation
Even of late years the reckless destruc-
ton of the buffalo has been a serious mat
ter to Indian tribes north and south of the
Canadian border line. More than once the
utter deprivation of buffalo meat has been
the source of complaints and uprisings
among the nations whose principal food
was thus taken away. In brief, what the
seal is to the Eskimo the buffalo was to
many of our Indian tribes. Almost every
part and parcel of the animal was put to
some good use-the skins were made into
tents or shields or clothing, the bones were
fashioned into weapons and tools and the
sinews were strung to the bows.--J. L.

Ripeninr Rnnnnns.

The banana is fruit that is fast gaining
favor, and is now one of the most popular
in the market Few people, however, know
how those sold from the small handcarts
are ripened. This business is almost ex-
clusively in the hands of Italians, who buy
the punches when they are green, as they
are cheaper when in that condition than
after they have been ripened by time The
purchaser then proceeds to apply the fore
ing process. The bananas are cut from the
central stem and laid in layers on mat
tress. A blanket is then thrown over them,
and the owner makes this his couch
A man with large and corpulent family
has a distinct advantage over his rivals in
trade, as he can hatch out a great many
more ripe bananas from the green fruit
than one who has only himself to depend
on. The process is much more rapid than
the usual method of allowing the fruit to
hang until it is in proper condition.
When sales are brisk have known Italians
to keep their families in bed all day, ripen-
ing their stock in trade. Some experts
claim to be able to tell by the odor whether
fruit has been ripened by Italians, but this
has always appeared to me 80 be without adj
equate proof.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Crystallized Pictures.

What a wonderful thing is crystalliza-
toni You hang lump of zinc in solu-
ton of acetate of lead, and straightway
the latter divorces itself from the salt with
which it is united, and becomes attached
to the suspended nugget in tussocks and
garlands Of metallic MOSES, ferns and
lichens.
The combinations of artificial crystals
produced by some of the processes of the
laboratory are marvelously beautiful and
picturest ue, but none of them is half as
marvellous as the witcheries wrought by the
chemistry Of the frost The woods, after
an ice storm chandeliered with diamonds
and radiant with prismatic light; the rocks
among the fighting waters bearded with
frozen spray; the white fringes and festoons
Of vapor lace that beautify the dead sedges
by the silenced torrents side, and the cabi-
net pictures in neutral tint and silver which
adorn ones chamber windows after bit
ter winter night, are each and all more
wondrous than any of the forms of crys-
Utilization achieved by chemic art.-New

A banquet in Janan.

Dining is not in Japan the serious bust.
ness it is in England. The Japanese do
not meet to eat, but eat because they have
met, and conversation and amusements
form the principal part of a banquet. Con
versation need not be held only with your
neighbors, for if man wishes to speak to
friend in another part of the room he
quietly slips the paper panel behind him,
passes into the veranda enters the room
again and sits down on the floor before his
friend. Exchanging cups is the chief cere.
mony at Japanese dinner Sake-a spirit
made from rice, resembling dry sherry-is
drunk hot out of tiny lacquer and gold
cups throughout dinner, and the musmes.

the floor, patiently watch for every oppor.
tunity to fill your cup with sake
When gentleman would exchange cups
which is equivalent to drinking your
health-he sits down in front of you and
begs the honor. You empty your cup into
bowl of water, have it filled with sake,
drink, wash it again and hand it to your
friend; he raises it to his forehead, bows,
has it filled and drinks. AS this ceremony
has to be gone through great many
times, drinking is often a mere pretense.
Eating is, however, but small part of the
entertainment. We must be amused, and
to amuse is the business of the geishas, the
licensed singing and dancing girls who are
attached to every teahouse.
But the singers at Japanese dinner
only take the part of the chorus in a
Greek play, and they sing the story which
dancing girls represent or suggest by a Sc
ries OF gestures or postures. The dancers
are splendidly dressed, and their move
ments are so interesting, so unlike any
thing seen in Europe, that we watch them
with curious sense of pleasure. Table.

The oldest bandit in Corsica has acknowl-
edged the error of his ways and intends to
retire from his profession. Antony Bella
coscia is seventy-five years old, and during
his bandits career of forty-four years has
been thrice condemned to death en- con-
furnace, besides being concerned in in
Vulnerable other crimes. Anxious to end
his days in peace, Bellacoscia has now
formally surrendered to the law, cunning
enough to know that the sentences of death
have lapsed through time. So he will
only be tried for his last minor offense OF
robbery after which he can settle down
comfortably. His surrender was quite II
grand ceremony. He handed over his arms
and bandits equipment with much majesty
and a few tears, drove around Bastia in
state with his military guard and is now
treated as n prisoner of great distinction.

cellent meals are sent to him from outside

Two Stories OF Won Moitke.

Two pretty stories are told about Won
Moltke. One is that on taking out his
purse to pay cabman after rather long
ride the cabman started his horse, cried
out, mo, no; it has been a great honor for
me- Herr Feldmarschall," and drove of, to
receive next day the counts photograph,
with the words, TO his cab driver" And
the other is that an American lady, with
young daughter, staying at the hotel
where the great soldier was attending
regimental banquet, sent him a photo
graph of himself, which she asked him to
sign, and so give more pleasure to the girl
on her seventeenth birthday than all her
presents had done. In reply mother and
daughter were invited to the supper room,
were treated by Won Moltke with the kind
est hospitality and received the photo
graph, on which was written, II have been
young, and now am old, but | have not
seen the righteous fnr~aben." Harper's
