An IndIan,s Queer Title.

Quin-ne-mo-sc, formerly chief Of
the Cmur dAleno Indians, is one of
the most favored of men in Spokane
County. Quin-ne-mo-so has n farm of
l67 acres lying on the south side of tho
Spokane River, about fourteen miles
above Spokane. When Assessor Leg
horn was putting values upon farming
property in this county he put Quin's
land ut n good round sum. Quin pro-
duced Government patent for the
land, in which occurs this clause "This
patent is issued upon the express con
dition that the title hereby conveyed
shall not bo subject to alienation or
incumbrancc, either by voluntary con-
veyanco or by judgment, decree or
order of any court, or subject TO taxa
tion of any character, but shall remain
inalienablo and not subject to taxa
tion for the period of twenty years
from the date hereof, as approved
January 1S, 1881" Everybody apollo

East Indian Henna.

Henna is the East Indian name fo1 a
shrub of the genus Lawsonia. The
shrub is from eight to ten feet high
and bears abundantly white and very
fragrant flowers; the leaves are smooth
and oval. 1t is cultivated in India.
Egypt and other Eastern countries,
where 1t has been in use as cosmetic
from very early times, the yellow color
on the nails of the Egyptian mummies
being supposed 10 be derived from
henna. 1t is used by the women TO
color their fingers and toe nails, the
tips of their fingers, the palms of their
hands and soles of their feet the men
use ii to color their boards, and the
names and tails of their horses.
Women also apply it to their hair. 1t
produces II reddish-orange color,
which, it is said, the subsequent APP
plication of indigo will turn to black.
The leaves and young twigs are re-
duced to fine powder, made into
paste with hot water, and spread upon
the part to be dyed, where it is usually
left over night. The shrub has been
naturalized in the West Indies, and is
called there the Jamaica mignonette.

HOMEMADE FERTILIZER.

A fertile soil is one that contains, in
soluble and available form, all the
needed elements of plant food. OF
these, potash, phosphoric and sui
phuric acids, silica, nitrogen and car
bon are the soonest exhausted by cul-
tivation, and therefore the most neces.
sary to be supplied by artificial means
If the farmer will take good care to
return adequate supplies of these in
his soils, nature will, in almost every
case, furnish an abundance of the
others. The art of maintaining a soil
fertile, lies in returning to it annually
enough at least of humus, potash and
phosphoric acid TO make up for the
loss of these elements occasioned by
cultivation and cropping. The farmer
can do this much for his soils by sew
eral economic methods. Humus. or
decaylng and decayed organic matter.
IS most readily and cheaply supplied
by growing upon the soil and turning
under such green crops as clover and
field peas. Every farmer knows the
value of these. But it is not every
one that utilizes them to the extent
that he should. In place of the green
crops, or as an adjunct thereto, let
nm also make liberal use of forest
mold and litter. These should form
che bulk of every compost heap, and
the bedding for all his live stock.
oi potash aud phosphoric acid, the
pest and richest home source is wood
ashes, Only apply moderate dress
ing OF ashes about once every ten
years. and any soil, other things be-
ing favorable, will remain fertile. Apv

means, enough unleached ashes 10

CANNING TOMATOES

The following recipe is given in
Good Housekeeping, as reliable
method of canning the unreliable
tomato Wash the tomatoes and re.
move the stems. Have wide kettle
or agate basin of boiling water on the
stove, plunge in as much fruit as is
conveniently accommodated at one
time, and remove with long-handled
skinner as soon as the skins crack.
Dash cold water over the tomatoes and
they will almost pare themselves.
Slip off the skins and lay the fruit in
an earthen dish. When ready to fill
the jars, set one in milk pan and
slice the tomatoes into it. With a
wooden masher push down the fruit as
the jar fills and turn off the juice and
seeds which will rise to the top. Cook
ing will render the fruit quite juicy
enough, and this discarding of the
seeds and liquid part appears to be
necessary to success.
When all the jars are filled to with
in three inches of the tops, lay on the
covers and set the jars over the fire in
a boiler of lukewarm water, placing a
rack or support of some sort beneath
them. A sufficient quantity to com
plete filling the jars may be stewed in
an agate kettle, or one jar may be
emptied for that purpose. AS the
fruit rises in the jars in boiling, push
it down occasionally to release the air
bubbles from the interstices of the
fruit. Keep boiling for an hour. At
the end of that time lift the jars out on
to dry board, fill each till it runs
over, and seal Immediately with new
rubber. Store in dark place.

You sec that man at the bar?
Yes.
He is a respectable man, is he not2
As men 90.
But how intoxicated.
Surely.
Do respectable men knowingly get into
that condition.
Sometimes but this particular one is not
so much to blame after all.
Why not, pray?
He met some friends about an hour ago.
Is that the same rs saying that he was
forced TO drink more than was good for him?
Pretty much the same.
But could he not have stopped at proper
time?
He might have, but it was scarcely prac-
ticable2
Because it is hard to refuse to drink when
one is asked.
But accepting once would not have him In
toXicatedg
No; but there were five OF his friends and
each one insisted on setting 'em up" in
turn. and then. OF course. he reciprocated.
Was each one obliged to "set 'em up?"
Certainly, and probably more than once.
Why certainly!
Because no American citizen is allowed by
social eistom TO drink alone.
NeverY
No, never. upless he does II on the sly.

Very few comparatively.
Then every American citizen who drinks is
liable at any time TO be compelled TO get
drunk?
That is about the size of il.
What is this custom called2

Why do not sensible Americans try TO dis
courage it?
A few do.
Only few2
Yes, only "A few are brave enough.
Then the majority approve Of II?
1t would appear so, but they do not.
They submit, then, TO a social custom that
olteher makes them intoxicated, and forces
them TO spend much more money than they
ought?
Yes, they submit, and upon the whole quite
cheerfully.
