EMANCIPATION OF THE INDIAN.
Education the Only Means by Which
He Can BE improved.

nc Ndh nC AhlpToNSu
ANY government capable of annually
lssimilating half a million foreigners,
many of whom have come from the
iregs Of European countries, should
in the course of a few years digest &c.,
300 Indians, What prevents? We an
,wer, methods: nothing but methods.
Use the Indian method Of isolation and
segregation with the immigrant, and
the American nation will be destroyed
In n decade. Use the immigrant meth
portunity with the Indian, and Il decade
need not pass until they become a real
part Of our country's life blood.
The Indian has the capacity to meet
the issues Of civilized life at once. All
Indian youth may readily be prepared
to enter the common schools of the
country by two or three years course
In government schools established for
the special purpose Of bringing them to
this condition Of fitness. and, having
once entered the public schools, the
way is open for them to remain and &c
up head. Such schools and all our
higher schools are now and always
have been open to the Indians. Har.
ward and Dartmouth colleges were
started In the interests of Indian educa-
ton.
The door of education has V been
closed to the Indian. The whole Al 5000
or $4,000 Indian youth may now, Il
they will, distribute themselves among
the schools of the country. There need
not be another school house built for
exclusive Indian education. Pennsyl.
vania has about $4,000 schools, and
there are about 250, 600 schools in the
United States. II all the Indian youth
in the country were distributed among
the schools of Pennsylvania there
would not be two Indian pupils for
each school. If distributed anon the
schools of the country there would moi
be an Indian for each six schools. Iu

Solid .lraW steel tubes have been
made foT years for boilers and general
use, but the great demand arose when
the safety type of bicycle came Into

use of a greater length Of tubing and
necessitating that this should be as

In the methods for producing a cold
drawn s.eel tube. but the principle Of
all Is practically the same, Only a very
high class of steel is suitable for the
purpose, and that hitherto employed
has been chiefly Swedish charcoal steel.

walls Of about 10 gauge. This is then
drawn through a die and over a man

JUNGLE Dawes" SCHEME
He Enjoys q siesta While NeiGhbor
Dig II . Well.

Dig Ii . Well.
Blairstown, n. j., has a clever old
.armer, who has evidently read the
story of how Tom Sawyer cajoled his
friends into whitewashing the front
fence for him. B~lairstown's man OF
genius. however, made his friends dig
his well gratis. His name Is David
Hennion, or Uncle Dave" as he IN
Familiarity known.
A few days age he decided to sink a
well, and, determining not to have fur
the trouble In obtaining water, made
the well large and deep. He bought a
windmill and then started TO excavate.
Job was a slow and tedious one. Final
ly he struck a splendid stream of water
and prepared to line the well with
stone. He carried a large quantity Of
stone to the well side and dumped 1t.
The weight of the stones or something
else caused the sides of the well to cave
In.
Uncle Dave" viewed the. collapse
with chagrin and disappointment, for
1t meant much more hard work on his
part to clear the well again. Finally
lie struck an idea and proceeded to car
ny II into effect. He obtained his coat
and placed ii zeal the excavation, then
he placed his hat on top Of his coat.
This lone he sought the hay loft Of his
barn and secreted himself The neigh
hora hoH faLan nonsIdapo hla fnfaraaf in
the well, and it was not long before
one of them came along to see how the
work was progressing. He saw the
half filled well and the hat and coat
close by. Believing the walls had
fallen in on him, he rushed to the house
and asked where Uncle Dave" was.
Mrs Hennion had not seen him and a
search of the farm did not bring him
to light. The conclusion was he was
buried under the earth and stones In
the well.
The n%eighbors for n great distance
around We're alarmed. and within a
couple of hours twenty men were at
work digging to clear the well and res
rue the body of their neighbor.
BY morning they had the well cleared
to the bottom, but found no trace OF
Uncle Dave" The men, when they
found they had nothing for their pains
except a cleared well. went away
weary and startled. When the coast
was clear, Uncle Dave" emerged from
his hiding place TO find his wife sit
ting beside the well hole. dazed and
mystifed. She was as much puzzled
as any one. Uncle Dawes" first greet
ing to her was: "Golly. Sally, I'm most
starved; get me something to eat; but
didn't those fellows work hard?"

TREATMENT OF COLDS.

How They May Re Cured and Their
After Consequences Averted.
Colds are probably the most common
ailment n the world. They are always
disagreeable and oftentimes dangerous.
A person in good health, with fair play,
easily resists cold, but when the health
fiags a little and liberties are taken
with the stomach or with the nervous
system a chill is easily taken, and, &C
cording to the weak spot of the indi-
vidual, assumes the form of a cold or
pneumonia, or 1t may be jaundice. OF
all causes of "cold,' probably fatigue
Is one of the most efficient. A jaded
man, coming home at night from a long
days work, a growing youth losing
two hours sleep over evening parties
two or three times a week, or a young
lady heavily doing the season." young
children overfed and with short allow
ance of sleep, are common instances Of
the victims of cold Luxury is favor
able to chlll-taking; very hot rooms,
feather beds, soft chairs, create a sensi-
tiveness that leads to catarrhs. 1t Is
not, after all, the cold" thai is so much
to be feared as the a~ntecedent condi-
lions that give the attack a chance of
doing harm. Some of the worst colds
happen TO those who do not leave the
house or even their beds, and those who
are mos. invulnerable are often those
who are most exposed to changes of
temperature, and who by good sleep,
cold bathing and regular habits preserve
the tone of their neryous system and
circulation. Probably many chills are
contracted at night or at the flag end
Of the day, when tired people get the
equilibrium OF their circulation disturb
ed by either overheated sitting or un-
derheated bed rooms and beds. This is
specially the case with elderly people.
In such cases the mischief Is not al
ways lone instantaneously or in a sin.

some Points Regarding Badger.

Some Points Regarding Badgers.
IF you want a story" said the hunt
er, 81 can give you n about a badger.
out in the West one day l saw a badger
and went for him with a stone. / pick.
ed up a very large stone and dropped
1t on his back. He paid not the slightest
attention to the stone. but kept on run
ming. l picked up another as big as a
paving stone and dropped that on him,
but he didn't seem to mind it, and still
kept on. Hurt him? No. If l had be
would have stopped. They are the
toughest animals I ever saw, and we
wanted to rid the country of them. In
dropping the stones 1 stood so close
oyer the badger that 1t was a wonder
he did not turn and go for me. Fight?
| should think so. A dog Is no match
for them. They always manage to get
underneath and turn on their backs,
and with their sharp claws often tear
a dog inside out. Their teeth are sharp,
but not so destructive as their claws.
| have seen them within a few yards
of a wolf and even of a coyote. but
neither of these larger animals has
made an attempt to modest them. When
they will not attack an animal as small
as a badger you may be sure there Is
some reason why. A coyote will attack
n pack of dogs. The one / pelted with
stones kept on to his hole, and there
hit him on the nose and killed him."

Waiting for My Boy,

: A few years ago. in n Of the grow,
ing cities of New York State, there
was a home into which the great sorrow
of a fathers death had entered. The
sons, of whom there were several, were
of a nervous temperament, full of ami
nation, and exposed to many tempta-
| tons which endanger the young IL
'arge cities.
The widowed mother realized the vast
Importance of her responsibility, and
many a time did she look upward to-
ward the Heavenly Father for divine
aid In the guidance of her fatherless
boys. She made 1t a rule never to re-
tire for rest at night until all her sons
were at home. But as the boys grew
older this became a severe tax both on
her time and health, often keeping the
faithful mother watching until the
midnight hour.
One of the boys displayed a talent for
music, and became a skillful violinist.
He drifted among the wrong class of
people, and was soon at balls and par
ties that seldom dispersed until the
early hours of day. Upon IL occasion
1t was nearly Z o'clock in the morning
before he went to his home. Entering
the house and opening the door of the
sitting room, he saw a sight that can
level be effaced from his memory.
In the old rocking chair sat his aged
mother fast asleep, but evidently she
had been weeping, Her frilled cap, as
white as the snow, covered her gray
hair; the knitting had fallen from heI
hands, while the tallow from the can
1le had u over the candlestick and
downsher dress.
Going up to her, the young man ex
elaimed;
why, motherl what are you doinS
here?" His voice startled her. and MP
on the question being repeated she at
tempted to rise, and ~piteously, bat oh
so tenderly, looking up into his face
said, 81 am waiting for my boy"
The sad look and those words, so ex
bressive of that long nights anxiety
quite overcame the lad, and throwing
his rms around her, he said, "Dea
mother, yon shall never wait again Xix
this for me-" That resolution has eve
been broken. But since then that moth
er has passed into the world beyond
where she still watches and waits, blu
rot In sorrow for her boy.-Union Mis-

All believe in sign,

fancy and fiction, every incident of
their lives Is seized upon as a sign mr.

influence upon their career or other

by reason Of a higher education and
culture are above the petty supersti.
lions Of the class, but these are merelv
the exception which proves the rule.
Yet. even this latter class has Its ne

which are as firmly believed In "a the
most devout savage believes In his
'etiches and idols.
One would suppose that an actor &c
prominent In his profession as Josepb
Jefferson would be free from such fan
cles, much less a believer in the efficacy
of an old Irish potato as a symbol of
healthfulness and a certain guarantee
against attacks Of rheumatism. Yet he
is not, and If one sufficiently acquaint-
ed with him were to ask. he would be
told an interesting story connected with
a blackened, shriyeied potato. nearly as
hard as a stone. which the great actor
invariably carries with him. Many
years ago, when Jefferson had an I'm
usually severe attack, some friend sug-
gested the remedy, wh~ereupon the &C.
tor procured a large-sized potato and
has carried 1t ever since. The rheuma-
tiSm left him and he has been entirely
free from 1t since, due probably to his
exceedingly temperate life and the
many safeguards with which he sur.
rounds his health, yet he Ia such a firm
believer in the virtue Of his talisman
that he would not part with it under
any circumstances.
The late William J. Florence also cat,
ried a triangular-shaped piece of brass
inscribed with hieroglyphics, evidently

great value, regarding it as the apple

Move Your Eyes If You Can,

A curious and slightly known fact
Is. that it is impossible to move the eye
while looking at its reflection in the
mirror. The eye is the most movable
part of the face, yet If you try to look
at it and move 1t a t~housandth part Of
an inch you will be baked in your pur-
pose. The moment you endeavor to
perceive the motion of the eye 1t be
comes fixed. That is why a persons
expression as he sees himself in the

by which his friends recognize him
