A Girl Patriot.

An English girl at school in France began to describe one of our regiments on parade to the French schoolmates, and as she went on she told me the rec ollection became so vivid she became so proud to be the countrywoman of such soldiers and so sorry to be in another country that her voice failed her and she burst into tears. I have never forgotten that girl, and l think she very nearly deserves statue. To call her a young lady, with all its niminy associations, would be to offer her an insult. She may rest assured of one thing, although she never should marry a heroic gen. eral, never see any great or immediate result of her life, she will not have lived in vain for her native land.-Rob ert Louis Stevenson in '".An Inland Voyage.

Experts report that it is impossible to send telegraphic dispatch through the Hoosac tunnel. It has been tried with all kinds of wires and with ocean cables, but in vain. Consequently the wires have been carried over the surrounding mountains. A careful exploration of the tunnel has been made, but no magnetic or other ore has been found to interfere with the transmission of message.

The healthfulness of people who breathe

The healthfulness of people who breathe air bearing the odors of rrsinous trees has long been known. The smoke from the burning of resinous wood has very powerful cisinfecting properties, and that also in moderate degrees is healthful to breathe. The carbonic acid gas found in all smoke is poisonous, but that is heavier and remains near the ground, while the upper strata of air carries the resinous odors. In cases of sickness it is help to guard against infection to burn small pieres of resinous wood, and allow it's smoke to mix with the atmosphere in the. house.-Ad0Gnce.

BECOMING FREQUENT.

report of Ontrages Committed on the
Indian Reservations.
Extreme measures must be resorted to in
order to put a stop to criminal assaults
which are becoming of frequent occurrence
on some of the Indian reservations in this
state. Information from Pine Ridge and
Rosebud Reservations in this state Is TO the
effect that such crimes are becoming alarm
ingly frequent. The worst feature OF the
matter is that in nearly every case Of this
kind little Indian girls from . to II years
old are the victims Of the burly Indians.
The capture Of Thunder Hawk brings to
Justice one of the most desperate and dan
gerous Indians Of this sort on the Si,u
Reservation. 1t will be remembered that a
week or two ago the dead bodies Of a
sauaw and child were found on the prairie
by some Rosebud Agency Sioux. An in,
vestipation fastened the crime on Thunder
Hawk and John Lance, an educated IN
dian. Both are now in Jail at Hot Springs
awaiting the next session of United States
Court, which eonvenes in DeadwoOd next
month. Outrage was the object and the
souaw and her child were murdered TO
cover up the crime. Thunder Hawk, who
was formerly lieutenant in the Rosebud
Agency police, but was discharged for his
meanness, was the chief factor in the deed.
Lance claims that all he did was to throw
one rock at the woman, and he had to do
this for fear OF Thunder Hawk, who threat
ened to kill him If he did not. Intense
feeling against the two criminals exists
among the Rosebud Indians, and the men
certainly would have been killed by their
people ii the opportunity had presented
itself. The evidence against them is very
strong. II Is probable that Thunder Hawk
at least will be made an example for other
Indians who are tempted to commit SINH
lar crimes.

nian Outrages Received.
At q meeting Of the Methodist Episco-
pal ministers Of Boston and vicinity reso-
lutions were adopted expressing sympa-
thy with the Christians in Turkish Ar
menia, thanking President Cleveland for
having appointed a commission to investi-
gate the Armenian outrages, and urging
the State Department to prosecute this
investigation by every means Mt its com
mand. A letter received from = point
near the seat OF the recent outragcs in
Eastern Turkey, places the number OF
slaughtered Armenians at fully $4,000.
The writer, in part, says:
s"The Armenians, oppressed by Kurds
and Turks, said they could not pay taxes
to both Kurds and government PlHns

resisted them; there were some killed
Then false reports were sent to Consfan-

gion was surrounded by soldiers. and 20,-s
600 Kurds also are said to have been
massed there. Then they advanced upon

WHEAT AS FEED.
SOnc States DispOsing of Fully Half
the Crop In That Manner.

Some States DispOsing of Fully Halt
the Crop In That Manner.
The Farmers Rcview says: Reports
have been received by the Review from
correspondents In Illinois, Indiana. Ohio,
Michigan. Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and the Dakofas on the extent to which
wheat is being fed to cattle. In some
parts Of lllinois wheat has been fed large
~, especially where markets are not ensi-
" reached, or where other feed crops are
short. In other parts less has been fed
than in some other Stntcs, apparently
because no other farm prodnct is found 90
salable. SO good many counties re-
port little or no wheat being fed. Indi-
ana is feeding probably little larger pro-
portion, and in some of the counties
third Of the crop will be disposed Of in
this way. Ohio Is feeding the crop freely
nnd in localities more wheat than corn is
being fed. Over large part. Of the State
half Of the crop will be marketed in the
form of live stock, and there are counties
where the proportion Of the crop fed
will not be less than 10 per cent. In
Michigan the amount fed varies great
~, some counties feeding none aad
others nearly all Of the wheat crop
Reports of 30 and 40 per cent, being fed
are quite common. Kentucky reports
large quantities being fed, and some coun-
ties win dispose of half their crop. Mis-
souri, reports a like condition. Kansas
and Nebraska are feeding very largely.
the low price making it a very economical
feed In some counties in Iowa 1t is
being fed largely, even up to half of the

Michigan and the Dakotas considerable
Is being fed, but the practice is far from
