That the threatened uprising OF the
Indians at Jackson's Hole did not de-
velop into a massacre Is not due to the
consideration OF the white men. Re-
ports which seem to be authentic relate
that the Indians. absent from their res
ervation on passes granted by the gov
eminent agent, were hunting elk on
public land, In accordance with rights
granted them by treaty. In the early
morning, while In camp, they were sur
rounded by band Of white men, a con-
stable and his posse, disarmed and
marched or as prisoners. Fearing in
jury or death, they made a dash for
liberty and one Indian was killed while
a white man held his horse by the
bride, and another was wounded.
Those who escaped went as fast as they
could to the reservation. This Is the
whole story. The only other point Is
that the State law OF Wyoming pro-
hibits the shooting Of elk ut this time
of the year, while the treaty with the
Bannocks grants them the privilege of
shooting over government land, no men,
ton being made Of local legislation,
Statehood having been far in the future
Of Wyoming when the col 'ention was
made with the Indians. General John
NJ. Schofield, the commanding general
Of the army of the United States, says
frankly: There is no doubt the from
tier whites were the cause OF the whole
thing. The whites wanted the whole
game country themselves, and when
they found those BannOcks there they
arrested them. The Indians tried to es-
cape and were killed. am convinced
that the Indians never intended retalia-
tion." In truth, the Indians wanted
merely protection. If the State law
should supersede the treaty the Indians
should have been Informed by the gov
eminent agent. In any aspect the
shooting Of the Indians, seeking only to
get back to their reservation, was total
ly unjustifed.

Tesla is reported to be laboring on
} the idea that it is possible to produce in
our atmosphere vibrations similar to
those which cause the sunlight. and
thus obtain an artificial light as intense
as that which comes from the sun, but
with no danger of obstruction from the
clouds. He says that sunlight is pro-
duced by 500 millions Of millions of vi
brations per second in our atmosphere,
and in order to produce the same kind
of light b will be necessary to induce
by machinery an equal number Of vi
brations. He does not give an intima-
ton of the way in which this is to be
done, and probably does not know it
himself yet. But he says he has sue
ceeded up to a certain point and Is
still ut work on the task.

The hot-headed, impulsive people of
France never will cease to bear malice
toward Germany for the trouncing they
got in 1870. Paris Is full of somber re-
minders of this affair so disastrous to
France, but somehow these peculiar
people enjoy the idea of having their
animosities continually stirred up,
though there is not much hope that they
can ever retaliate. The draped statue
Of Strasbourg in the Place de Ia Con-
corde and the fence around the Arc
de Triomphe polluted since the Prus-
sian army marched through IT. are
prominent reminders to an visitors of
the weakness Of France. A few weeks
ago writer In an agricultural paper in
Paris said: more sheep are coming
from Africa than ever before, and 1t is
gratifying to notice that the quality is
getting better year by year. 1t Is sim
eerely hoped that the day will soon
come when the consumption OF mutton
I'm Paris will no longer be dependent
on supplies coming from Prussia"

precautions Against Drought.

Every time a rain falls all titled land
should be cultivated. There are many
light rains through the summer which
wet only the surface Of the soil, and IL
this Is not cultivated under, the mois-
ture speedily evaporates and Is lost.
This cultivation also has another effect
lin developing nitrates In the SOIL
Whatever vegetable matter is In the soil
needs only to be brought into contact
with oxygen to be decomposed and it's
manurial elements set free. There Is
also on soil that Is cultivated frequently
a deposit Of moisture by the atmos-
phere which 1t contains, and this, being
really dew, always contains more
ammonia than does ordinary rain

Some Apple Desserts.

With the fail pippins, tart and juicy,
Just before us, apple desserts are par
ticularly seasonable. A simple and de-
licious dish made from this fruit is ap-
pie charlotte. Peel and core six or eight
good cooking apples, stew them with
little sugar, and the rind Of two lem
ons cut thin and chopped to q pulp, or
the rinds may be grated In perhaps pre-
ferably. Line buttered mold thickly
with lady fingers, or slices Of rather
stale sponge cake; pour the apples on
hot and press them down well; put q
meringue Of white of egg and sugar on
top, or whipped cream, IL preferred,
and set away to chill. 1t should be
served cold.
Another dessert suggestion is to bake
cottage pudding In gem or popover
pans, thus giving to each person an in
diyidual pudding. This way not only
adds to the attractiveness of this SIM
pie but popular dish, but conserves its
lightness, II, as often happens, a care
less hotess attempts to cut the pudding
with steel knife when hot from the
oven. The usual sauce accompanies the
individual serving.

The Colorado millionaire who has
discovered vein of sylvanite running
$4,000 to the ton" is indeed to be con-
graduated. Sylvanite Of highest grade
is 50 per cent. silver, with possibility
of carrying some gold. A ton Of pure
silver at present market quotations Is
worth a little less than $4,000. 1t is
this fact that makes the discovery Of a
vein chock full of $4,000 tons a re-
markable circumstance in the world
of science as well as Of mining, con-
tributing also, it may be, to the world

washed and rinsed in lukewarm water

In this preparation before being rubbed

f, Turnips for sheep.

Turnips are sometimes grown on
stubble lard, as catch crop for sheep,
by broadcasting the seed. After the
turnips are ready the sheep are turned
on the land, and consume not only the
turnipso but the young weeds. While
1t is not the most profitable way to pro-
duce turnips, yet 1t is claimed for the
method that the only expense Is to
plow and harrow the land and the, cost
of the seed, no other cultivation being
given WI

Fruit Kxaporation.

At no time Of the year is the value of
the fruit evaporator better appreciated
than during hot weather. The early
fruit keeps poorly, and unless marketed
somewhat green can not be disposed of
before 1t decays. But with an evapora-
tor on the farm the fruit can be evapor-
ated when 1t is at Its best, and It will
then be worth more than can be got for
It by sending to sell on commission In
the city. The cost OF an evaporator can
easily be saved by the saving Of fruit
in a single season that would,be wasted

Wheat Drills and Broadcast sceder,

On the Northwestern prairie soils
shoe drills are now more used than hoe
drills, according to Prof. w. NJ. Hays.
of the Minnesota station. In some
press wheel follows the shoe. In 9TH
ers a chain covers the seed well. The
best form has heel so shaped as to
make a V-shaped furrow, because the
soft mud will not then clog the tube.
For dry lands the press shoe drill does
best, while the chain shoe drills Gre
most suitable for moist, heavy lands.
The hoe drills work best among corn
stalks or trashy land. Broadcast seed
ers are still much used for early spring
seeding, especially on moist soil which
is friable after pudding and drying.
On clay soils and In dry climates the
drill is the best seeder for wheat.

Do not start on large scale, but let

four or six swarms the first season, says
Farm News. You may lose some skips,
but you must expect loss. Bees will die
as well as horses or cattle, but per-

so they can place them on the table and
not cut them. Secure Italian bees, as
they are the best workers and are more
