Honor The Dear Old Mother

Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy fakes on her
brow, but is she not sweet and beauti-
full now?
The lips are thin and shrunken, but
those are the lips which have kissed
many hot tear from the childish
cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips
in the world. The eye is dim, yet it
glows with the soft radiance Of holy
love, which can never fade. All, yes,
she is a dear old mother. The sands
Of life are nearly run out, but, feeble
as she is, she will go further and reach
down lower for you than any other
upon earth. Youcan not walk into a
midnight where she can not see you (;
you can not enter q prison whose bars
will keep her out; you can not mount
a scafold too high for her to reach,
that she may kiss and bless you in
evidence of her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and forsake
you, when it leaves you by the way
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms, and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul
is dis6gured by vices. Love her ten
terly and cheer her declining years with
hOlv devotion.

A Tradition of Orange Blossoms.

Like all familiar customs whose
origin is lost in antiquity, the wearing
of orange blossoms at wedding is
accounted for in various ways. Among
other stories is the following pretty
legend from Spain: Gan African
prince presented Spanish king with
magnificent orange tree, whose
creamy, waxy blossoms and wonderful
fragrance excited the admiration Of
the whole Court. Many begged in
vain for branch of the plant, but a
foreign ambassador was tormcntcd by
the desire to introduce so great curl
osity to his native land. He used
every possible means, fair or foul, to
accomplish his purpose, but all his
efforts coming to naught, he gave up
in despair. The fair daughter Of the
Court gardener was loved by young
artisan, but lacked the dot which the
family considered necessaryin bride:
One day, CHANGING to break spray OF
orange blossoms, the gardener thought
lessly gave it to his daughter: Seeing
the coveted prize in the girls hair,
the willy ambassador promptly offered
her sum sufficient for the desired
dowry, provided she gave him the
branch and said nothing about it.
Her marriage was soon celebrated,
and on the way to the altar, in CRATE
full remembrance of all her happiness,
she secretly broke off another bit OF
the lucky tree to adorn her hair.
Whether the Court gardener lost his
head in consequence Of the daughter s
trcachery, the legend does not state,
but many lands now know the won
derful tree, and ever since that we'd
ding day orange blossoms have been
considered fitting adornment for a
bride -

THE BLOOMER GIRL.
What She Lacks as Beside the Old
Fashioned Woman.

Fashioned Woman.
Score one for the old-fashioned
woman. She has sphere of useful
ness from which the new woman is
barred. She cannot ride bicycle
so we'll, possibly, but that is not a
particularly useful accomplishment,
no matter how much enjoyment there
may be in it. And to Offset that the
old-fashioned woman has given an
illustration of something she can do
that is nearly as far beyond the new
woman as it is beyond man.
A boy in New York fell through
the opening in fre-escape landing
at the fifth floor; an oldfashioned
woman was sitting on the steps be-
low. The child caromed on the cop
ing over the doorway and landed in
the woman's lap. That saved his
life, and beyond a bruise as the re-
suit of striking The coping he was
unharmed.
OF course, the question immedi-
ately arises: OF what use would a
man have been under such circum-
stances? Clearly none. He has
no lap. And Of what use would a
new woman in bloomers have been?
Just as little, and for the same rea-
son.-Chicago Evening Post.

ECRUDE BUT USEFUL
The Jumbo Wind Engine Now
Popular In Kansas.
A Curious Contrivance for Pumping
Water to Moisten Arid Plains Its
Simplicity and Economy Is Its
Recommendation.

A crude invention called the ''Jum-
bo" wind engine is now coming into
extensive use in western Kansas.
Its ease OF construction, economy in
cost, capacity, in power and simplic-
ity, seem to recommend it to those
who observe it's work.
1t resembles, says the Louisiana
Planter, the paddlewhecl of q stern
wheel boat, with o shaft tTc!Te or
fourteen feet long, is twelve or six
teen feet across, with six or eight
arms.
The lower half of this wheel is
shielded from the wind, so that the
air acts only upon the upper vanes.
A crank upon one end of the shaft
connects with pump.
Its power can be indefinitely in-
creased at any time by increasing
its length, which can be done by any
one who is handy with tools. 1t is
said that a "Jumbo" giving one hun
dred horse power in fifteen-milc
wind can be put up at cost of five
hundred dollars. The wind acts
upon this sort of paddlcwhecl from
all points of the compass except
two.
Tt seems to require no "govcr-
nor" but simply pumps more dur
ing a storm. No tower is required,
and it is placed so that the radical
arms will be clear of the ground. In
fact, in Kansas, where there are few
trees and no hills, it is claimed that
the wind currents have greater force
at the surface than high in air.
One of these wind wheels, now
running in Kansas, is twenty-one
feet in diameter, twenty-seven feet
long, with eight fans. The largest
water wheel in the world is an over
shot wheel in the Isle of Man, and
is seventy-two feet six inches in di-
ameter, six feet in breadth, with a
crank stroke of ten feet. 1t gives
two hundred horse power. There
may be many wind-power Ferris
wheels in the states of the plains,
bringing fertility whereis aridity.
Perhaps in this crude device for
raising water for irrigation in a
wind-swept country there is the
germ Of an idea which, when fully
developed and perfected, may be-
come widely useful. If so, it will
be quickly improved, foritis is watched
by many eager and anxious eyes,
and now the development OF an i'm
plement requires days where for
mcrly centuries we're needed. The
crude Jumbo" of today may be-
come the perfected irrigating ma
chine of tomorrow in level and tree
less sections Of country.

Not a SilverIte.

A young lady with touch of ton
silitis was consulting the family
physician.
iThat is nothing serious, said
he. "I'll touch it up with a little
nitrate of silver and you will be all
right"
The young lady looked bit doubt
full.
ooh, it won't hurt, remarked the
doctor, reassuringly.
II wasn't thinking of that. Papa
might object.
"Why, what possible objection
can ho have?"
81 heard him tell mamma the
other evening that he was opposed
to silver. Couldn't you use nitrate
of gold? Silver is so common and
cheap, you know, and I am sure
papa wouldn't object then. San

the school room, except the TACT InaI
the desks are free from the marks OF
pencil and knife. No Immortal
names were carved on the lids. There
were several excellent maps drawn on
the boards; a very accurate one OF
North Carolina, drawn by Loskie
Standingdccr; but the best of all was
a map of the United States drawn by
Abel Wolf. I was SO we'll pleased
with this map that | asked to see
Abel. He was called into the school
room and was introduced to e stout,
intelligent Indian boy fourteen years
old. He had been in the school for
three years; he speaks and writes Eng
lish we'll and is fluent in the use OF
Cherokee; he was fond of reading and
writing and drawing but did not like
arithmetic, although he had gone as
far as fractions. lie wrote on the

boys and girls are received at this
school when seven years old and are
fought, fed and clothed, and | may
add washed, by the government until
they are ready for higher education,
when they are sent to a Northern
school like that at Carlisle. 1t is
easier to teach them English than to
cultivate in them fondness for the
food that other people enjoy. The
Indian bean bread, mixture of meal
and beans, which their friends bring
to them, is eaten with greater relish
than the most palatable diet prepared
by the best of cooks. They detest
milk and vegetables. The girls are
more vicious than the boys. When
the pupils leave the school they often
go back to their old ways. About
four hundred of this nation are now
being taught by Christian men and
women. The government has made
an appropriation for 135 pupils at the
Yellow Hill school for the next year.
The industrial side of education re-
ceives much attention at this school;
the girls are taught to sew and the
boys the use of tools. A good garden
and farm are connected with the
school.
The old Indians know little English
but have mother language of their
own. The names of the Indians are
amusing: Mrs. Owl, very intelligent
woman, sold US some very gracefully
shaped pieces Of pottery made by her
own hands. The, chief Of the nation,
who is elected every four years and
who rules with four councilmen, is
named Saltwater Sounauka. Other
characters are Judas Beardevil, Noah
Deerskin, Isaac Bigmeat, Molly Walk
ingstick. In work recently sent out
by the government several statements
are made about the Cherokees that are
not correct, and the report on the
whole is too favorable.
There Indians seldom SO through
the form of marriage, and they are not
faithful as man and wife. They are
seldom seen in criminal courts, yet
they will get drunk sometimes and kill
each other. They are not industrious
and the women are still the burden
bearers. They may be called a law
abiding people, yet they are savagcs
in many respects. In the midnight
on some lonely mountain the bucks
meet and, around log fire, dressed
only in knee pants, they dance and
comb the blood from their arms while
the souaws chant a monotoneus dirge.
