The Prolific SunHower.

The sunfower is very nearly as
prolific as the microbe. I had an *.
~perience with them on a Government
survey in 1858, west of Junction City,
Kan. The country there was infested
with the shoulder-high variety of the
weed that Oscar Wilde thought SO
aesthetically beautiful. There were
enough of them to keep the sunfower
paper mills running for years. We
had to run q line through miles and
miles Of them. In an ordinary country
the transit mar a take sights five or
six miles through his transit telescope.
In the sunfower woods the sights were
limited in length to one chain-sixty.
six feet. The men all had the crowns
worn out of their hats from rubbing
against the shiny under side of the
heavy, nodding blooms. Every even.
ing, when we camped, each man
would empty about a bushel of the
seeds out of his pockets, his hat, his
shoes and his socks. We used to, in
crossing streams or swampy places,
cut great bundles of them and lay
corduroy roads with them. Now, all
these sunfowers had sprung from
seeds that the Mormons had brought
there from the East less than a score
Of years before.-St. Louis Globe

An Educated Indians collections.

DR.. Eastman, the Sioux Indian, in
his nto-biographicals sketch, published
in st. Nicholas, says:
Our wanderings from place to place
afforded us many pleasant experiences,
as we'll as many hardships and misfor-
tunes. We had several narrow escapes
from death. There were times Of
plenty and times of scarcity. There
were seasons of happiness and seasons
sadness. In savage life the early spring
is the most trying time, and almost all
the famines occurred at this period of
the year.
The Indians are a patient and clan
nish people; their love for one another
is stronger than that Of any civilized
people I know. If this were not SO, 1
believe there would have been tribes
of cannibals among them. White peo-
pie have been known to kill and eat
their companions in preference to
starving; but Indians-never! In
times of famine the adults often de-
MED themselves a fair meal in order to
make the food last as long as possible
for the children, who were not able to
bear hunger as well as the old. As a
people they can go without food much
longer than any other nation.
I once passed through one of these
hard springs when we had nothing to
eat for several days. I well remember
the six small birds which constituted
the breakfast for six families one morn
ing and then we had no dinner or
supper to follow it. What o relief
that was to Mccullough I had only q
small wing of a small bird for my
share! Soon after this, we came to q
region where buffaloes were plenty,
and we soon forgot all the suffering we
had just gone through.
Such was the Indians wild life!
When game vas plenty and the sun
shone graciously upon them they for
got the bitter experiences of the win
ter before. Little preparation was
made for the future. They are chill
dren of Nature, and occasionally she
whips them with the lashes of expert
ence; yet they are forgetful and care
less. Much of their suffering might
have been prevented by a little calcu-
lation. During the summer, when
nature was at her best and provided
abundantly for the savage. it seemed
to me that no life was happier than
his! Food was free-lodgings free
everything free! All were alike rich
in the summer ; and, again, all were
alike poor in the winter and early
spring. Their diseases were fewer,
and were not so destructive as now,
and the Indians health was generally
good.

America Mt Aniwerp's Great Exposition.

Right on the heels of the colossal
Columbian Exposition there comes an
other Worlds Fair, the Antwerp In
ternational Exhibition of 1894, "under
the high patronage of Leopold H., the
King of the Belgians." 1T will be in
augurated May 5, with the fanfare and
trappings of royalty.
When the visitor to the exposition
on the banks OF the slazy Scheldt"
passes into the grand entrance on the
Place Publique next summer one OF
the most striking pictures to greet his
eye will be the facade of the American
building. 1t will be of the most
beautiful and pretentious pieces OF
architecture on the grounds. Facing
the grand entrance from an advanta-
geous position on the right, it's prom
inence will rival that of the Sale DIES
Fetes and will be excelled only by the
Galleries de I%Industrie, or main build
ing. 1t is regarded asthe most prom
inent site ever accorded o foreign
country at 81 exposition.
The building will be modern Ken
a~issance in style, 240x15O feet. 1t
will be constructed of steel, iron and
glass, after the fashion Of the exhibit
buildings at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton, and interiorly it will be arranged
to serve as an exhibition hall. There
will be clubhouse features to the
building, but the main feature will be
its arrangement for the display of
American manufactures that may find
a market abroad. Around the main
hall will be rooms reserved for post
and telegraph Offices, telephone, III
formation bureau, money exchange,
writing rooms and newspaper file
rooms for American newspapers. In
addition there will also be a barber
shop, smoking-room, ambulance and
drugs, check room and toilet rooms.
These rooms will open from the ex-
hibiEion hall, whose main entrance on

| She had no notlon-so immeasurably
superior do the married deem their
state-what deductions her visitor was
drawing, as time went on. 1t seemed
to Miss Cynthia that next Thursday
would never come. She felt that she
could not, in decency, start home
under a week, but how she longed for
her sunny little rooms, her cat and
canary. They were company, but
never cried, nor teased for chicka-
biddy. They showed affection with
out i~nterrupting her most exciting
narrative to Sarah by incessant ques-
%tions, or by an inopportune header
down the basement stairs. She
wanted to order her own meals, and
have pie as often as she chose.
''Samyell' didn't believe in pastry,
and Sarah had given up making coffee
because no one drank it, besides her
self.
"You must come again, some time"
Mrs. Duncan said, swinging the baby
to her shoulder to kiss her friend
farewell. eth visits done you good.
You look younger'n' brighter'n' when
you come"
Miss Cynthia always resented
illusions to her age, but she could not
say now that it was the thought OF
home that made her eyes shine and
her cheeks glow.
How sweet it was that evening to
seat herself, when the neighbors had
gone, before the open fire in tho
rocker, her cat upon her knee, to rest
in body and in spirit from the turmoil
tand the trials of those long seven days;
not to have her nerves shocked by q
sudden crash nor her brain tagged by
incessant demands.
Once in the night she started up,
dreaming that she heard Il step upon
the stair, and that baby had the

replaced her tired head on the pillow.

At that very moment, Mrs. Duncan,
many miles away, was creeping back
to bed after a stealthy visit to Lizzy's
crib, to see that she was covered up.
She was worn with O. long hard day;
another stretch before her On the
morrow. AS she softly drew back the
quilt, her hand touched the baby's
roseleaf palm. Tears came to moisten
those weary eyes.
She took the warm little body on

tlected, as her head sought it's pillow,

An interesting case has arisen in
Minnesota involving the right Of a
State to fix by law the color of food
products. The Legislature Of thai
State not long ago enacted o statute
providing that oil oleomargarine and
other substitutes for butter offered
for sale in its markets should be
colored in q certain shade of pink.
One of the largest packing companies
Of the West, in spite of this law, has
been sending into Minnesota great
quantities Of oleomargarine Of natural
color, which is light yellow, closely
resembling that Of genuine butter.
The State Food and Dairy Commits
sion brought suit against the firm,
and the latter has appealed to the
United States courts for mn order to
restrain the commission from inter-
fering with its business. The petition
alleges that the Minnesota law is null
and void in that it conflicts with the
fifth amendment TO the Federal con-
stitution. The company contends.
moreover, that to color its oleomarga-
rine would be injurious and destruc-
tive to its character. The product, it
contends, is worth fourteen cents q
pound when marketed under its nat
nral color as y food product, but if
sold for other purposes would be
worth only about 4 or two cents q
pound. Whether q State has the pow
ar To define the color under which
manufactured food products shall be
eold y y novel and interesting one.

Facts seem to show that by the lower

we understand the word, can be felt at
all. HOLSTERS, for instance, will vol
UNFAIRLY deprive themselves of their
great claws If suddenly alarmed by
some sound us that caused by the firing
OF a heavy gun above them. A crab

The report of the s'leprosy comm

The report Of the ''leprosy commits
sion of India" fills a bulky volume OF
456 pages. The geographical distrib.
alton of leprosy throughout India is
lucidly set forth in three large maps,
colored. These show the changes in
the number and proportion of lepers
in the three presidencies, according to
the three census returns Of 1871, 1881
and 1891, and the most affected dis
tricts. The last, that Of 1891, exhibits

the south will be through a grand
gestibule ITO feet wide, approached by
a broad marble stairway.
There will be a separate entrance on
the east side of the building, the en-
tire space of which will be divided into
cooms for the press and a commercial
COON where catalogues and literature
Of exhibitors will be distributed. The
commercial room will serve as an ex-
shangefor the transaction of business
by exhibitors.
The main exposition court is open
to the dome, but surrounded by a
gallery. In addition to broad stair
ways which lead up to the gallery
Shere will be two American elevators,
which in themselves will be novelties
there. Opening on to the. gallery will
be exhibited rooms of the various
States, the largest OF these, which will
be forty by eighty-two feet, will be
devoted to the United States Govern
ment. There will be eighteen rooms
on the second floor.
In the center of the main hall will
be an illuminated electric fountain
and a soda water fountain, which is
peculiarly IN American institution in
its modernized proportions.
The building is rectangular in de-
sign, while the space allotted to the
United States is irregular in shape,
caused by the Rue de Retranchement,
which runs obliquely through the ex-
position grounds. There is thus left
a rectangular piece of ground on the
west, adjoining the electricity build
ing. On this will be erected a model
fire station, where the system which
has made the fire service of the United
States unrivalled throughout the
world will be demonstrated. The sta
rtion will have all of the latest devices
for fire fighting. An ambulance wagon
will also be placed in this annex.
In the e of the American build
ing there will be a complete modern
shoe factory in operation. This will
be an important exhibit, AZ this coun-
try is recognized to be far in advance
of the rest of the world in the manu-
facture OF shoes, as was conclusiyely
shown by the Chicago Fair, if that ex-
Inhibition were needed to demonstrate
the fact.
The American building and it's an
mex will contain 26, 500 square feet OF
space. In addition to this 60, OOO
square feet has been allotted to the
American section in the industry OF

Against the pane the snow drifts fast;
The cold night wind goes sobbing past.
Alone I sit, and close my eyes,
And think, and long Tor summer skies.
I have a vision-stratgely sweet
A field of waving summer wheat .
Hills clothed in greer from top to base;
A silver lake, across whose face
The breeze makes SMILES, while to and fro
The white swans slow and stately go.
An orchard all a1ushiwith bloom;
A lark wood, and within Its gloom
A thrush that sings oi,ce and again
His madly sweet e~cstttic strain;
IT'S answered by notes clear and strong,
And all the air is filled with song.
How the birds sing! land we'll they may!
Who would not sing on such a day?
o world so fair, O lit so dear,
Just now Gods heavy b itself seems near!
The dream is past I'wake alone;
I hear the cold winds angry moan;
And sob aloud, '.Be swift to bring,
Most gracious Lord, our life's sweet spring.
