rhe indian oane of RalI.

In an interesting article on the
famous Indian chief, Black Hawk, in
the November New England Maya
zine, the Indian game of ball is thus
described: "On the level ground west
of the town might frequently have
been seen, in the early summer time
and autumn, hundreds of brawny
Indians engaged in their favorite
sports of horse racing and ball playing
In either case the play was for stakes,
and these always Might've or three
horses, fine rifle or war-club. Their
game of ball, which Black Hawk
mentions as very popular, was played
in this wise: A tall post was erected
at either extremity ofthe playground,
and the players divided into rival
parties. The object of each was to
defend its own post and drive the ball
to that of les adversary. Hundreds of

describing this game as played by the
Sauks and Ojibways near Michili-
mackinac in June, 1853, are leaping
and bounding upon the plain; each is
nearly naked, his loose black hair fly
ing in the wind, and each bears in his
hand bat of form peculiar to the
game. AT one moment the whole are
crowded together, dense throng Of
combatants, all struggling for the ball,
at the next they are scattered again,
and running over the ground like
hounds in full cry, each in his excite

height of his voice. Rushing and

hurting them to the ground, they pur-

Walking for Health.

Few things, if any, are so effectual
in building up and sustaining the
physical organization as walking, if
resolutely and judiciously followed.
1t is perfect exercise. 1t taxes the
entire system. When you walk prop
erly, every member and muscle, every
nerve and fibre, has something to do.
The arms swing backwards and for
wards, keeping stepp, as it were,I with
the legs +; the chest Eexpands and con-
tracts as the lungs fill and discharge ;
the drummer-boy pulse beats tune
for the march; the legs curve and
straighten; the feet rise and fall,
while the head rides over all--but not
as deadhead. Every sense it has is
employed, every faculty alert. The
nostrils expand to quaff the breeze
the ears turn to every sound; the eyes
roll in their sockets, sweeping from
left to right, from earth to sky; the
brain is at work through all its parts.
Progress under such conditions is the
very eloquence of physical motion
What is the effect? The flesh is
solidified ; the lungs grow strong and
sound: the chest enlarges; the limbs
are rounded out; the tendons swell
and tougher: the figure rises il
height and dignity, and is clothed
with grace and suppleness. Hunters
who walk much, are tall and straight
while sailors, who walk scarcely a
all, are low and squat. The whole
man is developed, not the body merely
The mind is broadened by the con
temptation of creations work, the sou
is enlarged, the imagination bright
ened, the spirits cheered, the tempe
sweetened. The moral forces ar,
strengthened equally with the phys
zeal. A loftier, reverential feeling i
!, awakened, if not profound religion

Grow Variety Of PeddlIng.

When a farmer hears that the con-
sumers of his products pay much
higher prices than he gets from the
middleman it naturally sets him to
thinking. But his first efforts at
marketing do not usually prove the
success he has expected. What is the
matter? In nine cases out of ten the
farmer who begins peddling does not
try to keep variety-maybe he could
not if he did try except by purchasing
to sell again. He goes up and down
street crying Potatoes" and the
housewife comes out and anXiously
asks for tomatoes. She has misunder-
stood the call, and even if she wanted
some potatoes, in her disgust she will
60 back without buying anything

piled with he will not do well as a
hucKster. There IS no reason why a
farmer should not grow greater var
iety than he attemps. 1t costs more
thought, hut not much, if any, more
labor than growing the few varieties
he now does. Even if it costs greatly
more labor than now, he would MAKE
more, for he could and would sci
nearly, if not quite, up to the retail
prices charged by middlemen. One
years trial of this plan near a city oil
village will give farmer customers

THE ADVOCATE.
ErIandshIpa OF Women.

One of the pleasantest of friendships
is that between a young and middle
aged woman. (There are no OLD
women nowadays.) If the women
are of exactly the right sort, the friend
shin is almost an ideal one. There
can be no jealousy. The elder woman
is too old to be envious ofthe younger
either of her loves or companionship'
The younger feels the superiority Of
her youth too keenly to care for the re-
gard cherished by the older for her
contemporaries. But each possessee
a charm to which the other returns
with never-ceasing delight.
The older friend smiles over but re-
ioices in the freshness and ardor, the
eager anticipation and daring impetu-
osity of her companion. She speaks
no word of encouragement. 1t is
beautiful, this demanding youth, this
splendid audacity, to which all other
earthly achievements are possible. 1t
is the highest earthly wisdom to recog-
nize that all this enthusiasm is needed
for the lessons which Divine wisdom
shall teach.
And the younger woman, pouring
out her hopes and expectations, her
passionate longings and wistful i'm
aginings, feels strongly the mellow
praciousness which experience has
brought. Dimly she wonders at the
content that is always the most puzz-
ling to the youthful heart. Content
ment is only found upon mountain
peaks, she thinks.
Yet the large-hearted charity which
endures all things, believes all things,
and hopes all things, is an ever-re-
freshing surprise. Sometimes as she
breathes its fragrance the vague ques-
ton stirs: as it possible that this
charity, this content of themselves are
attachments? Is it so? Can it be !?
All, mol"
No, not yeti For youth is the long
ing; for age the knowledge that the
longing was never meant to be salts
fed here. Each is best for its own
time. In such a friendship each
grace finds its complement in the
other.-Jenness Miller Magazine.

Value of Great Telescopes.

/ should like to call attention to the
fact that the history of the great tele-
scopes at Mt. Hamilton and Washing
ton will serve to lay away finally a
widely-published opinion which we
used to hear repeated every few weeks
namely, that great telescopes are OF
little use. The work of these two
great telescopes (not to speak of many
others has conclusively shown their
great superiority over less powerful
Instruments in every field of astrono-
my, in the observation of planets,
nebul@, stars, comets, satellites, in
spectroScopy, and also in those depart
irients of astronomical photography
for which they are adapted. Smaller
instruments have their appropriate
fields, and in some of these they will
always be more convenient than
larger ones. But the great telescope,
when properly used, is and always will
be prominent. The proof is easy to
give, and l trust that we shall not
hear any more idle detraction of the
work Of our great instrument makers,
the Clarks, or of their European rivals

At the present moment sleeves vary

the under part of the sleeve is narrower

Poultry Hints.

Never chase fowls, or run them
down with dogs, but wait Until they
60 on the roosts at night. They can
be lifted off easilyltaking each by the
legs, and no liability of injury will re-
suit. A hen is very timid, and goes
on the roost early, owing to the fact
that when darkness comes on she is
blind, and for that reason becomes an
easy prey.
Now is the time to make drains to
the poultry yards. Not only should
the surface water easily flow away
from the yard, but where poultry may
be kept in large numbers, and more
than the ordinary space is used, tile
drain should be laid below the ground
which will serve to keep the yards
dry, especially after heavy layer OF
snow has melted.
If you have lot of small chickens
that were Matched late, and which are
no larger than quails, sell them all
for they will not grow after frost
comes. Such chicks will also be una.

The Queets River, which flows into
the Pacific Ocean about fifteen miles
north of the Quiniant,Agency Wash,
is good-sized stream, very deep IN
places, and with rapids at intervals
Its waters are of a muddy, greenish hue
very similar to the color of the st
Lawrence. 1t Is fed by the melting
SHOWS of Mt Olympus. The bottom
land of the region has rich black
soil, and is covered with alders and
salmon-berry bushes. The upland is
shot clay, and is shaded by mammoth
spruces and hemlocks.
To see great hoof-marks in those
wild forests one might think the
country overrun with CATTLE, but this
idea is generally dispelled by the APP
pearence of those antlered monarchs
known as elk, which are gradually
being thined out, owing to the merci-
less slaughter the Indians make upon
them. Four or five canoe-loads OF
Siwashes go upthe Queets and Clear
water Rivers every few weeks in
quest of elk, usually remaining fort
night in the foot hills, during which
time they kill many of tho animals,
often taking nothing but the hides,
and leaving dozens of carcasses as
food for wolves and cougars.
Such proceedings should be stopped
Immediately. The reservation is am
ply large enough for the few Indians
it contains and they ought to be made
stay within its limits. A young man
who accompanied them on one of
their hunts informs me that when
they discover where a band has cross
ed the river and climbed up the steep,
wooded hillside, they forsake the
canoes and start on the trail, going
with the rapidity of wild animals first,
but growing more cautious as the
signs get fresher, and at last sneaking
like cat upon the unsuspecting elk.
They inyaribly use the Sharp's rifle,
45-120, and with such cannon it is
not surprising a Siwash hunter re-
