Indian Legends to Order.

Indian LEGENDS 60 OrQer.
The American Folklore society charges
that college students who serve as wait
ers at Maine summer resort hotels are
trying to supply the demand for Indian
legends connected with each rock, hill
and stream by manufacturing them,
making the legend fit the name instead
Of the name At the legend, and proposes
to see what can be done about it. But
college students should not be charged
with monopoly of this business, even If
they are guilty at all. 1t was long before
the days Of student walters that the alb
surd story Of the derivation Of monhegan,
from the pigeon English, sman-he-gone,"
instead Of from the real Indian words,
'smenahan," an island, and "kigan, /"
land in the great sea, was circulated,
and the other equally ridiculous attempt
to translate Interchangeable into
s'moose-he-loo k-my-gun-tick."
At the meeting Of the Folklore society,
where the charge against the students
was made, enc speaker noted that Beaver
island in Maine was SO called because a
beaver crawled out Of lake on that is
land at the command of the great spirit.

He called to pay his respects mostly,
but he was after job If he could get
one. He sent in his card after the GUS

boy.
sNo business; pleasureS he wrote on
the card, and the boy took it in and
came back.
'.He wants to know your business or
pleasure" said the boy.
ssTo pay my respects" the visitor
wrote and sent it in.
ssCall at the counting room to pay any
thing" came back the answer.
s.Thanks," he wrote. "The amount is
so small that it will not justify me in
stopping"
The boy took it in, and the visitor
started off in no pleasant frame Of mind.
"Here," said the great editor, appear

The visitor changed his course.

The great editor seemed to enjoy it.

In months time the members of this

city and make preparations to get them

team will be we'll represented by tossers
from the state of Connecticut. Platt,
Klobedanz. Carey, Rogers and Smith, the
new infelder, are all residents OF the
Nutmeg state.
Salem seems to be showing little or no
enthusiasm about retaining her franchise
in the league this year. If that city
fails to come to time by April l, when
all this years teams which are to be
represented in the organization must put
UP $3.50, her place will be at once taken
by some good ball town. Fall River,
Haverhill and Lowell are anxious to OBJ
tain place in the circuit.
Pitcher Klobedanz led the masquer-
AIDE ball which was held att Stroudwater
Tuesday evening.
Secretary Morse of the league, has re-
ceived many applications from players
DESTROYS of places in any of the clubs.
A large list of applicants for the position
of umpire has already been received.
It is probable that the New England
League at its next meeting, that to be
held in Boston April 5, will reconsider

Jack Newell of our '91 team will

Tom Lovett ought to prove tower of

The Portland outfield of '93 will GER
tainly contain one heavy hitter, a fact
which Ibid not exist last year. Wednes-
day Manager Clarity secured E. N.
Deadly of the Salem team Of 81 and '92.
This player has desired to play in this
city for some time and having procured
his release from the.Witches, he at once
notified Manager Clarity with whom
successful negotiations were made for
the signing of the player.
Deadly is one of the best minor league
players in New England. His has al
ways had the reputation Of being heavy
batman and fine sprinter. His fielding
is also above the average. This makes
the seventh man signed by The local team
for this season.

COLOR OF BUTTER,
The Yellow Tint Is Duo to the Fellow
Oil In Pumpkins.

Aho AciioW 1iub Is LUG Inc follow
Oil In Pumpkins.
There is some interesting discussion
going on just now in regard to the
cause of the color of butter. Our read
ers will remember, says the New York
Times, how often it has been insisted
upon III these columns that the food has
as much to do with this color as it has
to do with other forms of fat in the ami.
NAL, and that the oil in the food is
really the most important element in
this color. This, however, is denied by
some who have no special experimental
information to build their belief upon.
At the present time many butter makers
are feeding pumpkins to the cows, and
the rich yellow color of the flesh of this
food is due to the large quantity Of
deep yellow oil in this flesh. On the
well established principle that the fats
of the food go directly into the milk,
without change of digestion, it would
only be reasonable to believe that the
yellow butter made when the pump.
kins are fed is due to this yellow oil in
the food.
The flesh of the pumpkin and the
squash contains, according to analyses
made by Prof. Storer, the large pro-
portion of 81 per cent. of oil in the
flesh, 6 per cent in the rind, and 23 per
cent. in the seeds and fibrous strings
connected with them. And all these
have deep yellow color Scientific
principle and practice are both cor
roborative of the common belief OF
farmers in this respect, and the habit
OF growing pumpkins and feeding them
to the cows is fully justified and is ia
be strongly recommended.
There is a common opinion to the
effect that pumpkins are injurious to
the cows, as tenoing to reduce the
quantity Of milk given. This is quite
mistake. 1t is founded on the fact
that the seeds of this tribe of plants
are slightly diuretic. and are used In
medicine as remedy for tapeworm.
But, as almost all the medicinal proper.
ties of plants are contained in the oils
in them, and the Oil Of pumpkin and
squash seeds is used for food purposes
and without any deleterious effect,
there is no reason for the common be.
lief, and this kind Of food, equally nu
tritious for the starch and sugar in it,
may be made use of without any fear
of danger in any way.
This deep yellow color has been
known to effect the fat of pigs that have
been fattened on pumpkins so much as
to make it unstable, on the suspicion
that the pigs have been diseased. The
food is highly fattening, and one Of
the cheapest and most healthful, but
as yellow bacon is not desired SO much
as yellow butter is, it will be desirable
to feed pumpkins to pigs with buck
wheat, which to some extent counter
acts the high color of the former, ant
the addition of bran or shorts to tn,
food will be further help in thi,
| direction.

When the cape worm becomes estab-

liquid substance in the throat that will
kill the worm, or cause it to loosen its
hold upon the membrane of the throat.
For this purpose, kerosene or turpen-
tine are the common re m edies, being
applied with feather which is dipped
in the liquid, The chickens mouth is
held open with one hand, and the
feather introduced into the throat with
the other, being given twirl between
the thumb and finger, thus putting the
oil on all parts of the throat. Such APP
