THE FLYING SQUIRREL.

W. 7. Hornaday in st. Nicholas.
OF course the Flying Squirrel has
no wings, and he does not really rise
and fly; but good Mother Nature has
kindly given him a wide fringe OF
skin running nearly all the way
around his body, which forms very
perfect parachute. When he leaps
from his tree top into the air, and
spreads himself, his parachute and
his broad fiat tail enable him to float
down easily snd gracefully, in a
slanting direction, until he alights
low down ON the trunk of tree per-
haps fifty or even one hundred feet
distant. Then he chambers nimbly
up to its top, chooses his direction,
and launches forth again, quite pos
sibly to the same tree from which he
started. His flight is simply a sail
ing downward at an angle Of forty
five degrees, with graceful sweep
upward at the last to enable him to
alight easily.

APPRECIATE OUR TEACHERS.

Robert Grant in the scribner.
6 There are signs that those In charge
Of our large educational institutions
all over the country are beginning to
recognize that ripe scholarship and
rare abilities as teacher are entit-.
led to be we'll recompensed pecuni
arily, and that the breed of such men
Is likely to increase somewhat in
proportion to the size and number Of
the prizes offered. Our college pres
idents and professors, those at the
head of our large schools and semi
naries, should receive such salaries
as will enable them to live adequately.
BY this policy not only would our
promising young men be encouraged
to pursue learning, but those in the
highest places would not be forced
by poverty to live In comparative
retirement, but could become active
social Agures and lesdess.

TO THE INDIANS.

'CLEvELAND TO THE INDIANS.
I A letter has been sent by Chair
yinan Dawes of the Dawes Commission
TO the chief OF each Of the civilized
tribes.
IN substance it says that the COM
miss.on has been directed to present
to the several nations for their con-
sideration letter from the secretary
of the interior in which he encloses
one from the president disclosing his
interest in the success of the COM
mission in coming to some agreement
which will sanction all their just
rights and promote their highest
welfare.
He asks the chiefs to lay the mat
ter before their people for favorable
consideration. The letter from Pres.
ident Cleveland is as followR:
To Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHING
TON, d. c., May a, 1895. "MY DEAR
SIR:--As the commission to nego-
tiate and treat with the five civilized
tribes of Indians are about to resume
their labors, my interest in the
subject they have in charge induces
me to write you a few words con-
cerning their work.
GAS / said to the commissioners
when they were first appointed, am
especially desirous that there shall
be no reason in all time to come to
charge the commission with any
unfair dealing with the Indians, ard
| that whatever the result of theil
efforts may be the Indians will moi
be led into any action which they dc
not thoroughly understand or which
is not clearly for their benefit.
"At the same time l still believe
as l have always believed, that the
best interests of the Indians will be
found in American citizenship, viii
all the rights and privileges whicf
belong to that condition.
"The approach to this relation
should be carefully made, and a
every step the good and welfare o
the Indian should constantly be KEEP
III view, so that when the end i
reached, citizenship may be a rea
advantage TO them instead Of al
empty rame.
81 hope the commission will in
8 ire such confidence in these In
dians with whom they have TO dea
that they Will be listened to, ant
that the Indians will see the wisdom
and advantage of moving in th'
direction | have indicated.
'If they are seen W ling to g.
Immediately so far as we may thin
desirable, whatever steps are takel
should be such as to point out tn
WV and the results of which wi
encourage these people in futLr
progress.
"A Sow movement of that k nc
fully understood and approved b
the Indians, is infinitely better tha
swifter results gained by broke
! pledges and false promises. Your
! very truly"

Committees from the west are
raising an issue Of exciting import
ance. They say that the trouble is
that the home and foreign boards are
"honeycombed with Briggism," and
therefore the people will not contrib
ute. Some are in war paint, and are
even cunning for secretaries and may
demand reconstruction of the
boards. Should such an issue be
reached the seminary control ques-
tion will be put in the background.
The subject may come in connection
with the reports Of the standing COM
mittees OF the home and foreign
boards.
