No Wonder Indians Are Dying Ont.

The conversation had drfted on to
Indians, and apropos of the topic lum-
herman in the office remarked that at the
last camp on Prairie River, from which
he had Just returned, he had seen
goodly group of these noble aborgincs
camped near the lumber shanties.
They came to look after a horse" said
he. "Lost horse" 'No, we lost one !;
got killed, and they came down to cut
him up" "What fort" "Why, to eat
him They stayed right by the carcass
and hung up and dried every pound of
meat on him. Queer how they found it
out. The horse hadn't been dead twenty
four hours before the whole tribe were
after him; crows cou dn't have done bet
ter"
That's nothing said an old logger
standing by. "Last winter six horses
died in our camp of epizootic, aud I'll
be hanged if they didn't pick the bones
of every one OF them clean. There is no
trouble in accounting for the rapid re-
duction OF the Indian population when
YOU know what they eat.-Minneapolis

The Astronomers Are Puzzled.

One of the most mysterious Changes
witnessed in the changing solar sys-
ten is the variation in the brightness of
the moons of Jupiter. Two of the four
satellites occasionally cross the planets
disc Us dark objects, althoughit is known
that their sunny sides are presented to US
and should appear no less brilliantly IL
Illuminated than the planet itself. The
third and fourth satellites often make
these dark transits aud the first is some
times seen as brown object, but the
second has never been noticed otherwise
than Us u bright disc. The phenomenon
still remains without satisfactory explana-
tion. st. Louis Republic.

Professor Jameson, OF Brown Univer :
sity, is lecturing on the historic colonial
mansions on the James River in Vir-
ginia, especially those at Shirley, West
over and Upper and Lower Brandon.
This region and the country about Will
iamsburg, which the professor designates
as "the quaintest place in the English
portion of America" was once virgin
field of discovery for the seeker after old
colonial furniture. Many a rare find of
ancient mahogany tables and sideboards
has been made thereabouts, and quaint
Chippendale chairs used to be found
there in numbers-in objects of
treasures -trove that could be secured for
the proverbal song. But time has
changed all that, and such articles when
discovered there now are held at fair
price. 1t is said that much of this sort
of colonial furniture may be obtained
nowadays in parts of Kentucky, rare
pieces having been inherited by the
present generation Of Kentuckians from
their Virginia ancestors.

People who think that the free-pass
business is carried to extremes in the
United States should note how they do
it in Russia. The Railroad Gazette says
that the Russian railroads have been ac-
customed to give free passes not only to
their employees, but to relative of their
employees, practice which may have
been heard on this side of the Atlantic.
The term ''relatives," however, has been
found to be extremely elastic, and re-
Gently the Great Russian Company put
its foot down and issued positive orders
that hereafter passes will be granted to
no other relatives of employees than their
wives, though a trihing reduction of
seventy per cent. on tie prices of tickets
will be made to parents, brothers and
sisters of employees and of their wives, but
all aunts, cousins and stepmothers must
pay full fares. If your brother receives
a salary of as much as $3.50 from the
company. you can get your discount only
on irst.class tickets; if he has from $3.50
to $3.50, you have second-class tickets;
if less than $3.50, third-class tickets.

A GOLDEN HOUR.

A beckoning spirit of gladness seemed
afioat.
That lightly danced in laughing air before
us;
The earth was all in tune and you a note
OF Natures happy chorus.
Twas like a vernal morn, yet overhead
The leafiess boughs across the lane were
knitting:
The ghost of some forgotten Spring, we said.
Ger Winters world comes fitting.
Or was it Spring herself, that. gone astray,
Beyond the alien frontier chose to tarry?
Or but some bold outrider of the May,
Some April-emissary?
The apparition faded on the air.
Capricious and incalcu able conner
Wilt thou too pass, and leave my chill days
bare,
And falrn my phantom Summer?

WHEN THE cows COME HOME.

With the klingle, klangle, klingle
Far down the dusky dingle
The cows are coming home.
Now sweet and clear, and faint and low,
The airy tinklings come and go,
Like chimings from far off tower.
Or gatherings of an April shower
That makes the daises grow.
Koling, kolang. kolingelingle.
Far down the darkening dingle
The COWS comes slowly home.
And old time friends and twilight plays,
And starry nights and sunny days,
Come trooping up the misty ways
When the cows come home.
With jingle, jangle, jingle,
Soft tones that swelling mingle,
The cows are coming home;
Malvine, and Pearl and Florimel.
DeKamp Red Rose and Gretchen Schell,
Queen Bess and Sylph and spangled Sue,
Across the field hear their loo-o-o
And clang of silver bell.
Goling, golang, golingelingle,
With faint far sounds that mingle,
The cows come slowly home.
And mother songs of long gone years,
And baby joys and childish tears,
And youthful hopes and youthful fears,
When the cows come home.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
By twos and threes and single,
The cows are coming home.
Through violet air we see the town,
And the summer sun a-skipping down,
And the maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path longer shade,
And the hills are growing brown
Toring, torang, toringleringle,
By threes and fours and single,
The cows come slowly home.
The same sweet sound of wordless psalm,
| The same sweet June.day rest and calm,
| The same sweet smell of buds and balm,
When the cows come home.
With tinkle, tankle, tinkle,
Through fern and periwinkle,
The cows are coming home;
| A-loitering in the checkered stream.
Where the SUMS rays glance and gleam,
| Clarine, Peachbloom. Phebe and Phillis,
Stand knee-deep in the creamy lilies,
In drowsy dream.
Tolink, tolank, tolinkielinkie,
Ger banks with buttercups a-twinkla
The cows come slowly home.
And up through memory's deep ravine
Come the brooks old song and its old.time
sheen,
And the crescent of the silver queen,
| When the cows come home.
With klingle. klangle, klingle,
With loo 90 and moo-oo and Jingle,
The cows are coming home;
And over there on the Merlin hill.
Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip-poor-
will,
And the dew.drops lie ON the tangled vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines
And over the silent mill.a
