Teaching Indians Resnect.

THE Bolivian government" said Amos
j. Thomas, recently attempted to estab-
fish a telephone line between Lapas and
Lake Titicaca, IS miles apart. 1t was torn
down and destroyed so frequently by the
Indians that the government was com.
PEELED to abandon it. The electric light
plant in lapas was preserved by adopting
an ingenious method of ~overawing the ma
tives. After the plant had been in opera
ton but a few nights it happened that
there was an eclipse of the moon.
The superstitious Indians believed that
the electric light was absorbing or swal-
lowing the moon. They gathered in a large
body at one quarter of the town and moved
upon the plant to destroy it. 1t was saved
only by the intervention of a large body of
troops. The government the next day Sc
lected several representative Indians, took
them to the power house, shocked them Sc
verely, then took them out along the line
and shocked them again with the wires
and informed them hat the electric light
was an evil spirit and that they had better
leave it alone. Since then they have had
no trouble on that e."-Washington

Tonnage ON the Great Lakes.

The total freight carried on the great
lakes in 1892, estimated on the basis of the
census of 1880, was over 81, ZOO, 900 tons, val
ued at nearly 500, 1000 O. 1t included over
100000 tons Of iron ore, 1850, 900 tons of
-four and grain, 6,O0O,00O tons of coal, 7,OOO,-
600 tons of lumber, 100000 tons of foreign
merchandise and 100000 tons of other
coarse products and domestic merchandise.
The m of Cleveland alone exceeded
100000 tons in 1892, equaling that of
either of the great ports of Liverpool or
Hamburg in weight and twice that of
either Glasgow or Hull. The tonnage pass
ing through the St. Mary's Falls canal is
greater in the lake season az months) than
that passing through the Suez canal in the

BOTANY IN WINTER.
Though Dormant. Many Plants Are Com.
parativcly Wide Awake.

~
Though many Of our native plants lie
dormant in the winter, the time is not lost
even for them. We perhaps 20 into the
lanes or fields and SEE only withcrcd stalks
or ripe fruit waiting to he picked or shaken
Off. We say to ourselves that the year is
finished and nothing more is to be done till
life revives with the first warm days of
spring. This idea, however, is quite mis-
taken, for the botanist who has the good
fortune to be in the field in winter sees
things that are quite unknown to the sum
MGR rambler.
He soon learns that, though life may be
dormant or even extinct in the dead stalks,
yet they are not therefore merely numbering
the ground and waiting for decay. In many
of our native plants the adaptation of the
means to the end does not cease with life,
and the dying or dead stem is often modi-
tied to help to protect or disperse the seeds.
Winter botany has been little studied,
but there is much to be learned. For in
stance, the dead, unsightly umbellifers so
common in every hedge are still playing
their part. Instead of the green, flexible
stem found in the summer, we see u stiff,
elastic stalk, with thin whipliket tips, from
which the fruit, separating from the axis,

a switch and has afterward forced his way
through dead, umbellifcrous stems, like
those of the wild chervil, will at once re.
alize the great use of the elastic stalk, the
whiplike tip and the divided carpophorc
with it's dangling fruit. Each passing ami,
NAL and every breeze bends the stalk,
which, springing back, tends to fling the
fruit we'll beyond the limit of the ground
exhausted by the parent plant. Thus the
elasticity of the dead stem may be as i'm
portant to the species us any character in
the living plant.
Many annual plants, however. have burrs
and in these species the dead stem is more
flexible and tougher, so that it bends and
rubs the fruit against the fur of an animal
or against our clothing. The different char
acter of the dead stem will at once be rec.
ognized in the wild carrot, the ripe burr

This is merely n example of what can
be observed in late autumn and winter, but
any one who has visited q beech or oak
wood during a gale in the fruiting season
will understand why such fruit grow on the
tips of long flexible branches, instead of Oh
thick stems. The singing blow that can

the important part played by the flexible

Hotel Bills In ENGLAND.

The author of Portugal Old and New
finds fault with English hotel keepers for
using a printed form of bill on which the
plain requirements of u simple traveller are

is that when a guest pays for n days and q
nights lodging he is positively almost
ashamed at finding due registry of his hay

OF the visit and the value of the reports.
AFTERNOON.
The institute met pursuant to ad.
journment at 1:45. Opened with sing.
ing and an appropriate hymn with organ
accompaniment. The subject of read.
ing was presented, the teachers formed
an interested class, and in it especial at
tention was paid to the tones of voice.
Physiology was the next topic and the
object of the study of physiology and
hygiene. also the teachers duty in re-
gard to it was dwelt upon. a class of
pupils from the primary department of
the public school we're called up and the
method of teaching them in the first
steps of word formation was illustrated
by their teacher.

Jack Robinson Killed.
Word comes from Sims that Jack
Robinson, formerly a resident of this
county, and a son of Postmaster Robin.
son of Glencoe, was killed near there
Sunday morning, being thrown from a
wagon by a pair of runaway horses.
1t seems that a little girl out herding
sheep, saw a team of horses running
wildly, attached to the front wheels OF a
lumber wagon. She at once notified her
parents, and they. in following the trial
came upon Robinson unconscious. He
had been driving upon a load OF grain,
was thrown of and internally injured.
He lived but about eight hours after be-
ing found.
Robinson leaves a wife and two chill
dren. Coroner Webb went up to Sims
yesterday morning to prepare the body
for burial, and it was brought here last
evening, and will be buried from his
