A CHASTITY relic Of Indian warfare was
recently sent to one of the professors
at the national museum in Washington,
says the New York World. 1t is the
skull of Little Poplar" the great
fighter and warrior, at one time the
sub-chief of the Cree nation. The Crees

and when the Riel rebellion broke out
some years ago Little Poplar" took ad-
vantage of the opportunity it afforded
to make war on his own account.
He attacked the white settlers, burned
their homes, carried off their women
and instituted reign of terror in the
region of his operations. Hundreds Of
persons became the victims of his blood
thirsty cruelty. He destroyed their
herds, laid their homes in smoking
ruins and put women and little children
TO the torture. There WIS. in fact, no

with all their alluring possibilities of
vicarious hospitality. No one can se~
riously pretend that to entertain at
restaurant is the same thing as to en-
tertain under ones own roof. It is
trouble-shirking method Of discharging
social obligations utterly devoid of the
sentiment associated with home.
"Flat life" is another foreign" abom-
ination which is contributing to the
downfall of the once cherished British
institution. Home life and fiat life are
two totally distinct things, and to a
large exetnt antagonistic. Flat dwell
ers are debarret from entertaining ii,

their only resource is the restaurant.
