Paint Ilsed by Indians.

Much speculation has been indulged
in by theoretical writer's regarding the
source of paints and the means by
which they were originally discovered.
AS in all theoretical explanations of
simple matters, the plain facts have
been overlooked and complicated ex-
plantations have been entered into.
The earliest record of paint used by
the Indians tells OF IA mixture of blood
with charcoal.
From this 1T was an easy step to the
ferruginous clays which produce yell
lows, browns and reds Red chalk and
red and yellow ochre are to be found
over wide areas and are easy of access.
Black micaceous iron, of graphitelike
consistency is to be found in many
parts of the mountains, while the blue
carbonates of iron and copper furnish
many hues. Green fungus growth are
sometimes used, mixed with the white
infusorial or chalky earths to make
shades of green tinging into pure
white. The sulphuret of mercury to
be found about the mineral springs,
especially the hot ones, forms an abun-
dant supply of paint, while the juice
Of the choke cherry makes Il beautiful
red. In the Dakotas many colors are
produced from the use of plant juices
mixed with earth.
Since the advent of traders among
the Indians native paints have been al
most entirely supplanted by those sold
in the stores. There are still some of
the isolated tribes that use their own
paints, but these are becoming more
rare with each succeeding year To.
day the paint bag, which formerly car
ried bit of red chalk or black graph
itic iron, contains bit of manu-
factnred oehre, or prepared lamp black,
for which probably II hundred times
its value has been paid by the man
who formerly obtained il through al.
most minimum of labor. Globe.

I'm getting over it now"
81 hope you are. I don't see how
you could wish to leave this pleasant

"Do you think it pleasant" he
asked, with sudden light of interest
in his eyes.

frankly.
And then there was moments ST.

'eDora," said Dan, slowly, eff you

And then he blushed at his own
boldness, and strangely enough, Dora
blushed, too.
A day or two after, Mrs Dawson said
to her son:
Daniel, my son, you were talking
about wanting a tonic, and I've spoken
to the minister's wife concerning you.
She says you're needing quinine and
calomel, or gentian.
ooh, never mind, mother! | guess
| won't need it now. I'm feeling so
much better.
But, my sou, how about that feel
ing of emptiness and all-goneness, and

And as he hastily left the room,

"Why, whatever do you mean,
child?"
81 mean that he has found all he
wanted in Dora. Why, can't you see
it yourself, mother? Depend upon it,
Dan will never be discontented any
more or wanting to go away from
home. Why, just look at them in the
garden there-how happy they both
are !"
And as the mother carefully adjusted
her spectacles and viewed the unsus-
pecting lovers, It mist dimmed the
glasses, and she murmured;

IN SHADOw-LAND.

The pennon at his prov to float
No breeze along the islet sweeps;
But round and round the swaying boat
The indolent, slow eddy creeps.
If yester eve or yester-year
He drifted on this idle strand
Who knows? Time has no measure here
In Shadow-Land.
For one perpetual season flowers,
And knows no change of sun or moon
To mark the never-varying hours
From dawn to dusk, from night to noon
Nor song OF Bird nor breath of rose.
But still and far. on either hand,
The lily blows, the water flows,
In Shadow-Land.
That soft. unceasing ripple rocks
The keel that with it seems to glide,
And to his dreaming fancy mocks
The motion of an onward tide.
Dim shapes his half-shut eyelids fill.
He hears the wave wash on the sanl,
Nor guesses that he fingers still
In Shadow-Land.
Awake, . dailler with n dream
That only in thy fancy dwels
Push out into the open stream
Beyond these poisoned honey-bells
Let the strong wind asunder rift
The drowsy fragrance round thee famed.
Or perish of its deadly drift

And Maria laughed, as she went to
call Dan to breakfast.
Dan, meantime, was leaning over the
front gate, gazing absently down the
road toward the village.
He looked listless and moody, and
yet he was young man i'll the prime
of health, with comfortable home and
kind relations. He did not know why
he should feel so restless and dissatis-
fled, and as he stood there, chewing a
straw, he turned round, facing the
house, and, with his hands in his
pockets, looked moodily about him.
There stood the cosy, little brown
house, with its deep vine shaded porch
there was the we'll of delicious cool
water, under the big elm tree, and the
row of bee-hives by the garden fence,
and the little orchard in the rear.
A pleasant picture it made to the eve
OF the passers-by, and it had always
seemed pleasant TO Dan until this un-

come over him, and made him restless
and unhappy.

him, and that he could do better out

Teddy away at school, he would have
