A Plucky Indian Maid.

Louise Grouse is an Indian girl. 90
years old, who is n direct descendant
of the Algonquins, who once ruled this
great State. She Is at the famous Nor
nal School in Oswego, and is deter
mined, Ii is said, TO obtain good edu-
cation. She is penniless. her mother is
dead, her father is dipsomaniac, and
there are no relatives or wealthy
friends TO aid her in her ambition.
Nevertheless she has managed to pay
her way so far and To clothe herself as
well. by the hardest labor of all kinds
and at all times. She has done sew
ing, embroidery. scrubbing, washing,
ironing, dressmaking and even garden
ing TO get together the necessary
money for her Advancement She is
completing her course, but works as
hard as ever in order To put by some
thing with which to educate heryoung
or sister. After completing her studies
in the Normal School she hopes to en-
ter some medical college and be grad
uated as n physlcian.-New York Mail

Forms of Incredulify.

Consider the great multitude Of
Christians who are constitutionally IN
capable Of believing that there can be
any good in any other religious sys-
TEN than their own. How many Prot
estants are there who hold it incred-
ible that any good thing can come out
Of Rome? Can you number the Ro-
manists who are without faith in any
thing the Protestants ever did?
A similar popularity is seen in races.
There are many Irishmen who can be-
lieve in nothing but Saxon 'perfidy,"
many Poles who can believe in moth
ing but Russian "wickedness," many
Bohemians who can believe in nothing
but the German "brute," and many
Englishmen who can believe in moth
ing but the ''unspeakable" Turk.-All
the Year Round.

rior was asleep in his blanket, with
his bow and quiver beside him. Then
the living braves circled about the scaf-
fold with slow, sorrowful motion,
uttering n song or plaint They made
three or four rounds; then, silently
mounting their ponies, they returned to
camp, leaving their dead comrade to
the company of the birds of heaven. In
the dry air of Dakota the body becomes
rapidly desiccated, and one can be In
the neighborhood of scores Of these
burial scaffolds without noticing any
thing offensive. 1t Is also n singular
fact that the carrion birds seldom look
for food among the bodies thus expos
ed. The motive for disposing of re-
mains in this way probably is to save
them from the wolves, which would
scratch up a grave. Bodies are some
times high up In the branches Of trees,
and II used to be no unusual thing in
the river bottoms Of the Missouri to
come across a departed warrior thus

FATE OF THE FARMER.

In America as in Europe Owner and
Cultivator Are Different Persons.
The American farmer has long held
n place greatly above that OF the peas
ant of continental Europe in his in
come and style OF living. because he has
been able to possess n larger tract OF
land, and greatly above the English
tenant farmer in his independence be-
cause he has been able 10 own the
ground he TILED He will not continue
another half century TO hold this en-
viable position. The economic forces
that have been at work in Europe have
also been at work here. but not so long,
and therefore they have not vet ma
tured SO much fruit. There have been
Americans who imagined that our po-
litical constitution would protect us
from the fate of the old world. IL
would be as rational for q man to ex-
pect his knowledge of arithmetic to
keep him dry in a thunderstorm.
Sometimes, says n writer In Lippin-
colts, we find the American farmer
slipping away from his acres, and

away from him; as a result of both
tendencies there is a separation, widen
ing with helapse of time between own
el ship and cultivation. The American
farmer Is following the English yeoman
into extinction, and the creation Of
landlord and tenant classes has al
ready made considerable progress here.

of evolution, and evolution in agricul-

Church with a Tree for a steepIe

One of the oldest churches in Wash
ington has steeple formed Of a tree.
The church was built under the shade
of 4 tall poplar tree, and an ingenious
member Of the congregation suggested
that the tree should become the steeple
of the building. Accordingly, the tree
was deprived Of its head, and on the
mutulated stump the bell was hung.
This is, perhaps. the only instance on
record Of a church spire having been
made from a tree.
