Move Al0nG.

The Indians view of the way in
whs1h he has been treated by tho white
man in this country was we'll given in
an anecdote related by Professor Eli
oott Evans Of Hamilton college. The
famous Indian chief Red Jacket once
met Mr.. Evans granduncle, Joseph FL
hcott, at Tonawanda, Niagara county.
MIR. Ellicott at that time was agent of
the Holland Land company, which own
ed most of the land in what was later
known as the Eighth Judicial district
Of New York.
The two men shook hands and sat
down on a convenient log, both being
near the middle of it. After a short
time spent in amicable conversation,
Red Jacket said pleasantly, "Move
along, Joe."
Mr.. Ellicott did as no had been re-
quested, and the chief moved up close to
him. In few minutes came q second
request, Move along, Joe.''
Again Mr.. Ellicott complied, though
with considerable surprise, and again the
chief followed him closely. Scarcely had
this been done when Red Jacket again
said. Move along, joe"
Mr.. Ellicott was greatly annoyed, but
willing to humor the chief he moved
along once more, this time reaching
the end of the log.
This was not sufficient to satisfy the
chief, however, for q moment later came
the fourth request, "Move along, joe"
why, man." cried the agent irrita-
bly,, Il can't move any farther without
getting off the log into the mudP'
"Ugh!" exclaimed Red Jacket con-
temptuously. Just go white man.
Want Indian move along-move along.
Can't go no farther, but he gay, Move

Civilization Of Tiolets.

Violets in frames require great deal
OF attention during the dark winter
months, and light and air must be given
On every possible opportunity. 1t does
no harm to leave the frames covered
with SNOW fer couple Of days in Sc
we're weather, but great damage is done
il snow is allowed to remain fer q week,
when mold will spread with alarming
rapidity. Even if sunlight can be adj
mitted for but three hours and little
ventilation given. it is surprising how
the plants are benefited. There are very
few days during the whole winter when
we do not give both light and cir. Vio-
lets resent cOddling, and air should be
given freely whenever the outside tenn
perature allows. II the thermometer
registers several degrees below freezing.
even in midwinter, the sun warns the
frames sufficiently to permit moderate
amount OF air being admitted. Violets
III frames make much more work than
when they are grown in houses, and the
flowers are less convenient to pick, but
the quality Of blooms is as good in all
kinds, and much better in some, par.
ticularly the single varieties. The flow.
ering season, too, is little longer than
with those grown in artificial heat
