A DISCORDANT NoTE.


 When all Is harmony and the orchestra is in full blast it is unpleasant to hear the flute, man or the trombone urger make a discordsnt slip. So when all the civilized world Is attuned to the praise and the power and the glory and the progress of Woman 1t is irritating to see a cold-blooded scholar like Herbert Spencer throw in a discerdant note But he is a man, and perhaps nothing more could be expected of him than his re- cent declaration that mental achieve ments of a very high order in 6 woman are abnormal, and involve physiological cost that the female organization cannot bear without injury moro or less profound.
 As Mir. Spencer is nothing but man, we don't suppose this dictum of his Is entitled to the consideration it would deserve If made by a woman. Men don't know much about women and in their efforts to know them they frequently make strange guesses. No woman would be found making any such statement, for women know that Woman is capable of mental achievements of very high order. When women make statements about Woman we can be sure that they are correct and are not made te fit theory or 8 guess. Therefore, while Herbert Spenoer's guess needn't count, some attention may fairly be paid to some remarks by Mrs. John A. Logan, who has been member of the Board of Lady Man. agers of the Columbian Exposition, and has felt called upon to speak out about that remarkable body. She details their pro- ceedings from the start, and finds in them l nothing but lot of unseemly wranglipg Taking everything into consideration, she concludes that the greatest opportunities l women have ever had to advance them selves or their interests have been but half improved, because of envy, jealousy and 1 personal ambition.
 A little while ago some chumpy men saii | something of this kind and they " rt booted at by the friends of Woman. Bu Mrs. Logan is not mere male guesser and her remarks are impressive.

WH EAT.

The usual discussion of the wheat situa- ton is on and 1t is rather more interesting than usual on account of the low prices and the great difference between the esti- mates of the amount of wheat which will be available for use this crop year. Ac- cording to the recently issued annual re- port of the Hungarian minister of agricul- ture the demands of importing countries wilt amount to S79, ,OO0, 900 bushels, while the surplus of exporting countries will be only 376.6s4 600 bushels, leaving 8 deficit in the worlds supply of 336 900 bushels. This, to be sure, is not large deficit, but 1t Is a balance on the side which should warrant better prices than those now pre- vailing. In this report the figures for the United States are: Total prod action, 397, ; 260, 900 ushels; ex portable surplus, 69, ,51S,- 900 bushels. These figures are pronounced ridiculously inaccurate by Bradstreet's That journal, assuming in the first place that the production of this country fol 1893 is correctly stated st 397, ,250, ,O0G bushels, says that the home requirements of 365, ,O00, 900 bushels will leave surplus in round numbers of 32,G0o, 900 bushels to which must be added an available visi ble supply of 73,O00,OOO making tota of 105. GOO, 900 bushels, that may be ex ported. This reverses the situation, and changes the worlds deficit of 336, 00t bushels into surplus of about 35, ,000, ,00G bushels. But Bradstreet's further esti mates that our crop will be nearer 450, COG, 900 than 400, 900, ,000 bushels, whict would increase the surplus to S0,000, ,00( bushels, or more.
 | It doesn't seem as if wheat and hou, could long stay as cheap ss they are, bu the prices of both have acted so durin, the last year that even the wiss ones don' know what to say.

A BoY,s VISIT TO CHIEF JOSEPH.
A Glimpse Of an Indian Camp. From the SentAmlner St Nicholas


 The Indian camp is usually in two or more long rows of tepees. Sometimes two or three families occupy one lodge. When they are bunting and drying meat for their winter supply several lodges are put together, making one big lodge about thirty feet long, in which gre two or three fires instead of one. They say that 1t dries the meat better.
 When game gets scarce camp Is broken and moved to different place. The men and boys catch the horses, and then the ssuaws have % put on the psck-sAd dles (msde of bone and covered with un- tanned de-r-hid,) and pack them. The men cit sround smoking and talking. When all is ready the different families set out, driving their spare horses and pack horses in front Of them The men generally hunt in the early morning; they get up at sbout two o'clock, take a vspor | bath, get breakfast and start to hunt st | about three. Sometimes they hunt on horseback and sometimes on foot. They come back at about ten or eleven o'clock, and if they have been on foot and have been successful, they take s hOree and go and bring In the game. The meat Is al ways divided. If Chief Joseph is there he di vides 1t; and If hs Is not there somebody is chosen to fill his place. They believe that if the heads or horns of the slain deer are left on the ground, the other deer feel insults d and will go away. and that would spoil the hunting in that ighborhOOd. So the heads and horns are hung up in trees. They think, too, that when any body dies his spirit hOvers around the spot for several days after ward, and So they al- ways move the lodge. I was sitting with Joseph in the tepee once, when a lizs-d crswled in. I discovered Ii and showed 1t to Joseph. He was very solemn and 1 asked him what was the matter. "A med icine-man sent it here to do me harm. You have very good eyes to discover the | tricks of the medicine-men." l was going to throw 1t into tha fire, but be stopped me, saying: "If you burn 1t 1t will make the medicine men angry. You must kill 1t some other way"
 The Indians calendars are little square sticks of wood about eight inches long. Every day they file a little notch, and on Sunday & little hole is made. When any one dies the notch is painted red or black. When they are home at Nespe- linn they ail meet out on the prairie on certain days and have horse-TaciDg. They run for about two miles.
