Washing Little Indians.

We were camped at the Hot Springs
on the Lo Lo trail, made famous in
Indian annals by the escape Of Chief
Joseph and his band of Nez Perces.
Just above MS was large camp of
Flatheads who were making their fall
hunt. One morning we were awak-
ened by their shouts and cries. Evi-
IDENTIFY there was great excitement
somewhere, and we promptly jumped
up. 1t was just after daylight. and
cold clouds of steam were rising from
the big basin shaped pool at the foot
of the granite wall from which poured
a thick stream of boiling water. The
pool was so large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold; the
nearer you approached 10 the place
where the hot water burst from the
rock the better chance you stood of
getting boiled,
At the edge, at place where the
water was of a comfortable tempera-
ture, stood two Indians. one on the
bank and the other ON a stone in the
water. Near by were dozen other
Indians guarding a number OF little
Indian boys and girls, who had moth
ing on and were bowling and crying.
When we looked out of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy-one holding him by the feet and
the other by the hands-and were
gravely swinging him backward and
forward through the warm water,
while he yelled at every dip. AS soon
as they had finished with him he was
set upon the bank and ran to the will
low brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dians feared that it was his turn. They
all tried to escape to the brush, but
their elders pursued and caught them.
until the very last one had been put
through the cleansing process. New

Ingenious Indian Basket Makers.

The Tarratines, or Penobscot In
dians, who live on an island in the
river q dozen miles above Bangor,
Me-, are the most ingenious of all
basket makers, and no chemist has
produced brighter colors than those
with which the children of the forest
adorn their wares. The baskets are
made of thin strips of ash and maple,
the latter for rims and handles, and
much of the work is interviewer with
fragrant sweet grass from the salt
marshes along the coast. Alder is
stepped for pale red dye, white birch
bark for bright red, cedar boughs for
green, sumac for yellow, white maple
bark for black. A light solution of
maple yields purple instead of black.
Some of the Indian basket makers are
very prosperous. One family of four
cleared $1,000, in addition to their liv-
ing expenses, last year, and in the
parlor of their house is Brussels
carpet, upholstered furniture, S4oo
piano. various expensive ornaments,
lace curtains, Catholic books and pic
lures, and set of Cooper's novels.
There are many lazy and drunken In
dians, but the good Indians control
the affairs of the tribe, and are re-
spected by the white people.

The Last Slumber.

He sleeps.
Who sleepsP
You do not know,
And / must tell you soft and low,
My little baby sleeepeth so.
He sleeps.
My baby sleeps so late
The little birds awake and sing,
And fit about on happy wing
He waketh not for anything.
He sleeps SO late,
My baby sleeps.
The noon upon the morn doth wait;
The sun shines full upon the gate;
The bees and birds are in full tune,
And summer life is at Its noon
My heart doth break
My baby never will awake
He sleeps.
The tender eve draws near;
The lights of home are shining clear,
But in the churchyard, dark and drcar,
My little baby sleeps.

The Natural Resources of the South.

Bv the census statistics the mortal
ity among whites for the census year
1880 was IA IA per 1000 for the whole
United States, including the South;
and for the southern states alone from
Maryland to Louisiana inclusive il
was but 14.04 per 1000. BY the best
of all demonstrations, therefore, the
South is proving the salubrity OF her
climate, the fertility of her soil, the
extent of her natural resources, and
her fitness for the support of large
population. An empire in extent, her
lands are still not one-half occupied.
Her population per square mile aver
ages about one-third that Of the aver
age northern state, and but one-ifth
that of the more populous ones. "he
sole condition which now prevents a
large immigration, both from abroad
and from the northwestern states,
from taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities open in the South,is ignorance
of the situation. Such ignorance cam
not be of long duration.
Briefly, there is not elsewhere upon
the globe territory open to the
Anglo Saxon race, with such varied
and great resources and such propi-
tious and easy conditions of life and
labor, so abundantly supplied with
rivers, harbors, and with lines Of
railroad transportation, or SO we'll To-
Gated to command the commerce of
both hemispheres. The prophecy Of
what our people will mako of these
advantages in the struggle for COM
mercial supremacy among the nations
of the earth is but family written in
what has already been done, under
adverse conditions, by each section
working alone. Now their united
strength will be brought to bear on
the easiest part of the problem. The
most progressive race on earth--the
leaders of the world in science. in in
vention, in wealth, in energy, and in
enterprise-will here develop the
greatest natural resources under the
most favorable conditions possible.

Unity.

A sombre pine is stirred
By the recreant wind on high,
And out of its gloom, like word,
Breaketh bird to the sky.
The sky speaks truth through star;
The star seeks the heart of the sea;
To the sea strives river afar;
In the river brook laughs free,
And down to the brook doth CLEAN
The thread of a mountain spring,
Born in the shade of that pine trees dream
And brushed by the birds soft wing.

A New Kind of Weapon.

AT one of the grammar schools in
this city the fourth-grade pupils were.
not long since, reading the story of
an important battle during the civil
war. The text read. "Both sides
fought with dogged pertinacity."
When this point was reached boy in
one of the back seats raised his hand
and calmly inquired, "What kind of
weapons are those?- Buffalo Ex-

La fortuna sc parece
De la mnjer ell amor,
Que le otorga so favor
AL que menOs 10 merece.
Ellh sale como entra,
Nos desvansce y 0fusca,
Y no es para quien la busca
Sino para quien 10 encuentra.

o en- Ia terra las Enujsres.
Dios, con amorcsO Rnhelo,
Cre6 de IN sOplo fecundo,
Del hombre para coneuelO,
Las estrellas en- el cielO,
Las mujeres en- el mundO.
Es la negra ingEatitud
BORON del humane ser,
Negacion de una virtud,
Y despTeeio de IN deber.
Si del pechO femenil
Sc apodera, al bombTe mataJ
Que la mujer, 81 es iDgrata,
No 90 mujer, ca un reptil. /.
Para fundsr su esperanto,
AL hombre 10 basta y sobra
Una illusion que recObra,
Una luz en- lontanangR,
La fortuna que no logra,
o la dicha quo no alcanEa.
