TORTURED BY THE SIOUX.
A Scout Tells How He Was Initiated Into Sitting Bulls Tribe.

A Scout Tells How He Was Initiated Into
 Sitting Bulls Tribe.
 Frank Grouard, the Indian scout, was captured, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, by Sitting Bull and small band of followers when nineteen years old, and remained with the Indians during the next six years, greater portion of the time in the camp of Sit ting Bull, through whose influence he was saved from torture and death. "From the time of my capture and up to 1s72,' he said, q was not required to undergo any of the self-inficted tor lures of the Sioux, but after became one of them, to all intents and pur- poses, knew what to expect. While we were camped where Glendive, Mont, now stands the whole tribe gathered one day about and 1 was in- formed that I was to be put to the test All the Indians gathered around, taking positions where they could watch my face. Sitting Bull, No N eek, Gall, Four Horns, Little Assiniboine and other head men of the tribe sat near me smoking their pipes. Four warriors squatted on each side of me, and with needles raised up the flesh between the shoulder and elbow on each arm and cut out pieces the size of pea, taking four hundred and eighty pieces out of each arm. The skin and flesh were taken off in five rows on each arm. It was not painful at first, but before they were through there was stream of agony pouring from my arms to my heart that was almost unbearable. l did not open my lips or make sound while they were torturing me, although the operation lasted four hours. The next time I was tortured all my eyebrows and eyelashes were pulled out. After that went through the tortures as stoically as the Indians themselves, even including the tor lures of the sun dance, where horsehair ropes were tied in the muscles of the breast and back and torn out by sheer force"

A DRAMATISTS WIT,
He Was Perfectly at Home with His Iu-
 terrogator.

He Was Perfectly at Home with His In-
 terrogator. When Colman, the English dramatist. was examined before the committee of the house of ofcommous, which sat on the theatrical question, he was asked whether he expunged all oaths or pro- fane swearing from the plays submitted to his revision. He answered:
 Invariably"
 Did you ever count the number of paths in your own comedies of the Heir at Law and John Bull?'"
 ''Never; but dare say there are a great many"
 (Which you disapprove of?"
 Undoubtedly"
 Do you not think it would have been better to have omitted them?"
 Much better. They disfgure the scenes in which they are introduced, and injure the humor."
 "Then," concluded the chairman. thinking to clinch the argument, ''you are sorry now that you wrote either of those comedies?"
 Quite the contrary" rejoined the icehser; I rejoice exceedingly to have made a good pudding, although I re- gret that any had plums should have crept into it."

The Fruit Growers Market.

The home is, after all, the best mar ket for the American fruit grower. Farmers and even orchardists have too little of small fruit on their tables Half bushel of fruit per day the year round can be proftably disposed of by the average family. A Connecticut farmer kept an account of the small fruit grown on half an acre of ground and used by his family last year. He charged the family with the fruit at market rates and found it amounted to $65, or more than S7OO per acre. Such small fruit culture pays, not only in the money value of the product, but in the healthful outdoor habits of life which it encourages, and the hundred other ways in which garden ministers to mental and physical health.-Michi- gan Horticultural Report

At this season, emphaticay than at any other,

When Nature gives vitality to field and wood there

impair the efficiency of an Office which
is the characteristic feature of our
common school system. Whilst it is
the ostensibe aim of the bill to put
graduates of the high schools and
academies on level with those of the
normal schools in reality it puts them
above the graduates of both colleges
and normal schools. College gradu-
ates must have taught three years
before the state superintendent is al
lowed to issue to them permanent
certificates. The student who passes
the final examination before the state
board at a normal school gets certi-
hcate good for two years, and only
after two years of successful teaching
does he receive the permanent certlh-
cate known as the state normal school
diploma. The bill in question pro
vides that the graduates of high
schools and academies shall receive a
certificate equal to the normal school
diploma as soon as they have passed
an examination in the branches oi
normal school course.
| Legislation should aim to conhnt
the schools of each class to thei
specific work. Senate bill, No. zoo

into the school system, abridge tn

ENGLISH WAGES.

The following letter from London |
appeared in last Sundays Philadelphia |
Press:
"The astonishing statement was
officially made in the course of the
great strike in the boot trade here this
week that the price paid in England
to operatives are in many cases double
those in the United States.
"a large consignment of American
made shoes was received lately at
Northampton, the centre of the indus
try here, and the following statement
was made as to the cost of manufac-
tnre : 'The amount paid to operatives
in America for lasting, putting on sole
and heel by hand is sd in North
ampton, Cd; for sewing in welt and
stitching, In America, ed in North,
ampton, sd for finishing, in America,
6 Sad in Northampton, nd total
cost of workmanship in America, is,
S lap; in Northampton, rs, Iod.
This allows cargo of boots to be
freighted across the Atlantic and sold
here tor less than goods OF the same
quality can be made here.
"These facts have been made known
for long time to the English employ
ers, and they have tried to introduce
the American method OF manufacture,
but without success because of the re.
fusal of the trade union to allow any
departure from the old fashioned pro
cedure.
'Americans work in teams of eight
or ten persons and each one confines
himself to some particular part of the
process in England not more Than
three or four are allowed to work in a
team and each one has to do differ.

tools and the difficulty involved in the
adaptation Of the eye and the hand tc
fresh work limit the power of produc
ton here as compared with the Ameri
can method, yet in 1893, when thi
question was brought by the employer
before the national conference, tn,

The practical result is that America i

only to England, but also to the Brit
