A QUARREL ABOUT A PONY.
It-Has Caused Nearly Score of Deaths in
a Battle Between Whites and Indians.

Reno, o. T., April5. William de Es-
dornie, who keeps a store at Sieger. in
the Indian district, SO miles west Of this
city, arrived last night. He said that
early Tuesday morning, hostilities were
resumed, and at the time he left three
white men and Is Indians had been killed
and fighting was still in progress. The
Indians engaged numbered less than 100,
all of them Cheyennes, the Arapahoes
thus far taking no part.
Troop B has followed Troop K to the
scene of trouble. The battle, say couri-
ers, still continues. When troop B
reached the scene hot skirmish was in
progress. The soldiers took a hand, and
one white man and four braves were ad-
ded to the list of seven dead. The latest
rumor is that the Indians are gathering
in large numbers. There is a possibility
of brief but bloody war. 1t is claimed
that if the Cheyennes and Arapahoes,

Field Culture OF sauashe..

Recommendations for field culture Of
squashes are given as follows in bull
letin from the New Jersey station:
1. Manure or fertilize heavily and
evenly, not in the hills only. 2. Plant
the land to summer squashes, prefera-
bly, crook necks, as early in the season
as feasible. If the fruit can be marketed
to advantage, full set can be planted;
if not, few rows only will answer as
traps. g. Plant the Hubbards, Marrow
fats or other main crop as late as advis-
able without risking the crop, making
the hills between those of the early va
rieties. 4. Keep a lookout for the
moths, and when they are noticed go
over the field every evening during The
twilight and kill all that are found sit
ting on the leaves. A little practice
will enable one to cover three rows at
one time without missing a specimen,
and in less than an hour large field
can be cleared Of moths 5. When the
late varieties need the ground, the crook
necks will have made at least partial
crop, even if badly infested by borers,
and the vines can be removed, leaving
the ground to the later varieties. This
should be done carefully, 80 that all the
borers remain in the vines, and the lat
ter should be thoroughly destroyed in
some way that will kill all the contained
larvae. 6. AS soon as the late vines
begin to run we'll they should be covered
at the fourth joint, or even beyond it,
and the ground should be kept in such
condition that they can readily send
down suckers from all the joints. This
will enable the vine to resist injury and
to ripen fruit, even if it becomes infest-
ed by few belatea borers, but there
must BIZ plant food enough where these
joint roots are sent down, for that in
the hill may be cut off.

Good VIII Farm.

To the Editor of the Press:
|. Just previous to DR.. F. E. Clark's
lecture at City hall, under the auspices
of the Christian Endeavor Local Union,
you kindly allowed me space for brief
statement concerning Good Will farm.
for whose benefit the net proceeds accIu-
ing to the Union were devoted. Think
ing those who, by their patronage aided
the good work would be pleased to know
its outcome trust you will allow this
communication space also.
The lecture was in all respects a sue
cess, the gross receipts amounting to
$500. The understanding with DR.. Clark
was that his share was to be one-half of
the gross receips, but when made. aware
of the object, with characteristic gener-
osity he said his share should be one
half of the net proceeds, thus increasing
the proceeds to the Union by $40, making
a total of $3.50, clear. This amount is to
be used toward the erection of Endeavor
Cottage at Good Will Farm, and with
the funds now in hand for this object
leaves less than 5000 of the necessary
S250O, thus insuring it's immediate erec-
uion. Endeavor Cottage will make the
fifth occupied by the boys, each arranged
to accommodate family OF fifteen in
charge of matron, thus securing home
surroundings for each and all.
Sixty-two boys are now at the Farm,
which during the four years past has re-
ceived ninety-three, no fewer than seven
of whom were from our own city.
Endeavor Cottage will be a greatly
needed increase of accommodation, as
many applications have been regretfully
denied because of the present crowded
condition, and all will be pleased to
learn that this cottage. will be immedI-
ately begun. M.

REARING CHICKENS.
Care of the Sitting Hens-ExcelIent Diet
For Chickens Small and Big.

Care of the Sitting Hens-ExcelIent Diet
For Chickens Small and Big.
Corn. wheat and cotton are called the
great staple productions. Farmers sell
dom consider that the value of poultry
and egg products, some $500, 0o0, 900 an
nually, far exceeds that of any one Of
the above mentioned crops. AS explain
ed in The New England Homestead,
most of the great agricultural products
are of a sectional character Each is
raised chiefly in particular sections of
the country especially adapted to its cul-
ture. On the other hand, poultry keep
ing is universal throughout the country.
At this time of year it is pertinent to
discuss different methods of Matching and
rearing chickens, since SO much of sue
cess or failure with fowls depends direct
ly upon the kind of treatment the young
chicks receive. Farmers will for the
most part still pin their faith to the hen
for Matching purposes. The sitting hens
should have an apartment by themselves,
separate from the laying fowls, in order
that they may be undisturbed by the lat
ter. A dish Of whole corn and one Of
fresh water should be kept where the
sitters may help themselves at any time.
As hens upon the nest are apt to become
very lousy, clean dry earth or ashes for
wallowing must always be available.
The first food for young chickens may
consist of stale bread soaked in milk.
This forms an excellent diet for chickens
of all ages, and if it can be had no better
food can well be obtained. Milk is the
banner poultry food, whether it is pure
and whole, skim or buttermilk. Chick
ems fed upon milk show strong legs and
develop bone and muscle with great ra-
pidity.
Oatmeal is another excellent chicken
food. Soon the little fellows will eat
wheat, oats and cracked corn. Besides
grain, they require some green food, as
cabbage or clover and little meat daily.
Whatever is fed, let there be variety.
The sane diet day after day is not con-
ducive to rapid growth. Perhaps It is
unnecessary to add that chickens to do
their best should have their liberty.
They need to range and forage, both for.
exercise and to CLEAN great variety Of
animal and vegetable food. Y

Wonders of the Eye.

In an article on tho human eye written by Dr. Austin Flint the following passage occurs: 'Viewed as an optical instru- ment, the human eye may well be called perfect, for it is an apparatus contained in a globe less than an inch in diameter, in which is produced an image, practically perfect in form and color, and which can be accurately adjusted almost instantly for every distance from fivo inches to in- flnity, which is movable in every direction, has an area small enough for the detection of the most minute details and at the samo time large enough for the apprccia tion of large objects, and which enables us to see all shades of color and to estimate distance, solidity, and, to some extent, the consistency of objects" And yet this wonderful instrument, perhaps the most varied in its capabilities of any part of the body, is consistently misused and neglect. ed. Is it any wonder that some day m turc resents this treatment and leaves the offenders in total and perpetual darkness? New York Ledger.

THE DAINTY PARIslzNNE.
A Creature Gifted With All the Super.
 flcial Graces Which Charm Men.

"'Thc Plrisennes arc born comedians, /" said an author of the last century, and this is the description he gives of true Parisenne: To be or to become 0 Parisi enne q woman must be gormand, ca pricious, ambitious and a coquette. She begins to live only toward evening. Al 12 she is at her zenith. She knows noth ing, not even how to make a cup of tea but she serves her sickly beverage with sc much grace and her Sevres cups are SC transparent and so exquisite that you lovt it and love her.
 When tho Parisienne gives Q dime, party, she thinks of the flowers and the fruit and leaves the rest to her cook, SC sure is she to mend bad dish with a bon mot. Her beauty, which is problematie and has nothing to do with the type pre- fcrred by the sculptor, lasts her n quarter of a century, this because the beauty oi the Parsienne is the beaute du diable, and the devil never gets old. She knows how to sit, to get Up, to knccl, how to do ev erythng, for she never forgets her role and is always on the stage. She has studied herself in all positions, full face, side face and three quarter face, and she knows what she can do without losing an inch oi her charm and when to stop in time.
 If she has wisp of hair moving about or dangling on her forehead, or sticking up above her coils, do not say, Il beg youi pardon, madame, your hair is out of Or. der for this wisp has been studied and arranged, and where it is and how it dan gles it is meant to be and to dangle. Or her face Is the suggestion of all beauties but none is perfect. She reflects the white snow of the north and the sun rays of the south She has the quiet eye of the American and the dreamy look of the Rus sian. She is clean and dainty like the English, as lively as gypsy of Seville or a Florentine signora. All is hers, wit, charm, artistic coquetry, easiness of man. ners, kindness and mischievousness. Eli ther as a duchess milliner, actress, circus rider tanner of beasts or of men, she is always tho Parisionno and always has been, creature stamped at her birth by an angel and by devil, both of them having left their seal on her.

Why He Knew,

MT Timothy Cole, the engrayer, gives an account in private letter of an anus ing experience in the Louvre: While was working on The Fish Market, by Van Ostadc, an elderly lady and young gentleman stopped in front of the picture. They were much attracted by what l was doing, and the lady asked her companion if he knew what 1 was about He very readily answered that was etching. But, she responded, moro attentiyely regarding me as Iengraved, he appears to be cutting on wood Etching on wood, was the offhand return. 1 could not repress n smile as l worked on, and they watched me in silence. I should think, resumed the old lady, that if he made false cut or mistake it would be the ruin of all he had doneg Oh, no, was the nonchalant reply, all he would have to do is to scratch it out and do it over again. Here my in voluntary glance of surprise, as looked up from my block, met the inquiring eyes of the questioner. It was time for me to explain, which did, correcting the gen. tlemans erroneous idea-evidently de- rived from seeing the process of etching of q wood engrayer,s being able to remedy anything he had once cut by scratching 1t out. We then fell into conversation, and learned that tho young man was an art critic, which accounted for the confidence with which he uttered his opinions San Francisco Argonaut.
