Indian Rain MaEera.

All the Indian tribes had rain-mak-
ers, and some are yet left. This is one
of their methods of operation A large
body of Creek Indians had gathered,
all decked out in their best finery. Two
elderly men retired short distance
and seemed to be mHmbiing TO each
other something like prayers or invo-
cations; after some time a fire was
made on the bank of the stream, when
the two rain makers gave an orler,
and young man plunged into the river,
which was there very deep. When he
came up he had a blue catfish in his
hand, which one of the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing on in perfect silence. Then there
was more mumblipg, accompanied by
various oontortions and gesticulations,
when the gathering dispersed. 1t
rained that night. Perhaps, on the
whole, the Indian rain maker Is more
ecnlrally successful than the civilized
one occasionally appearing on the from
tier in times of drought, tho former
having a shrewder and more expert
enced forecast of weather probabili-
ties and putting in his incantations at
the right time.-N. Y. Tribune.

School of Gardening for Girls In .
suburb of Berlin.
A London paper tells of school Of
lin. 1t is a comparatively new venture,
having been founded two years ago by
a private lady. At present it seems to
be succeeding. The pupils-15 in num-
ber-do the work entirely without ex-
traneous aid, growing all sorts of vege-
tables, as well as apples, melons, grapes,
pears and cucumbers, for which q ready
sale is found. They wear dark gray
uniform, consisting of bodice and
skirt of reasonable length, which, by
an ingenious arrangement, can be-
made quite short for working in and let
down at will. The girls beat all the
men at a recent board of agriculture ex-
animation, and one of them has just
obtained post as gardener TO gen.
tleman at salary of S120 year, with
board and lodging. They are all fine
specimens of healthy, vigorous young
womanhood. Commenting on this, the
lady says: Perhaps we see the thin
edge Of the wedgel In the near future
women may be eligible for head gar
deners' posts at good salaries. Andwhy
not? We have finer taste than men and
should be quite in our element design

the suitability of the employment. 1t
may be urged that digging is not harder
work than many of the athletic wom-
ans recreations, nor is it dirtier proc

what they were going to do. This was
reportsd to the revenue officers, and
extra precautions were taken. At the
time Miss Elliot arrived il San Fran
cisco. Neville gave orders for the cap
tain to take the men who had been en-
gagged in SAN Francisco weeks before,
and VII were then at different sailors
boarding houses, TO put to sea and join
her conlsort off the island of Santa Cruz.
These men went on board in the night,
end next morning the ship got under
way, showing only the usual number OF
men on deck. But the United States
revenue cutter stopped her, and con-
yeyed her to an anchorage under the
guns cf Alcatzar island. The officers
and crew of Al men were arrested.
In order not TO have his plans blocked,
Neville started two men overland on
horseback for Sarrta Barbara, to take
boat from there TO the island and noti-
fy the captain of the Vesta of the seiz-
ure of the Chapman. The captain of the
Vesta was ordered to intercept the
steamer, and was told that Neville and
his confederates would be on board to
assist him, and that they would disable
the machinery of the vessel in case the
guns of the schooner did not compel the
steamer to stop while they took the gold
from her. But "the best-laid schemes o
mice and men gang aft agile" When
the two messengers crossed to the island
from Santa Barbara they found the
captain and all hands of the Vesta

Corean Paper.

A remarkable kind of paper is pro-
duced in Corea entirely by manual labor
and without the use of any machinery.
Its quality excels that of the very best
made in China or Japan. The raw ma
terial used for this paper is obtained
from the bark of Broussoneta papyri-
fera, which is collected in the spring
and beaten in water containing large
admixture of wood ashes, until reduced
to thick pulp; this is taken in large
ladies and spread upon frames of bam-
boo and in this way formed into thin
sheets, Another kind of paper is
produced from old scraps trodden into
pulp much in the same way that grape
juice is expressed in some countries
a process of pulping which, though
slow, has the advantage of not breaking
the fiber so much as when machinery is
used; then after the pulp has been made
into paper, the sheets are piled up to
height of six feet and cut into pieces,
to be again subjected to the feet stamp
ing-at the same time the roots and
seeds of plant called "tackpoui" are
added, the soluble parts of which are
supposed to give tenacity and tough
ness to the paper.-Apotheker Zeitung.

government gold.
II seems that United States Marshal
Rand had got wind of the contemplated
raid to capture the gold on the steamer,
and he warned the officers of the steam
er or what might be attempted and
placed on board 12 of his deputies,
dressed as old Californians. These men
took passage in the steerage and pro-
fessed to be returning to their eastern
homes. They had holsters with pistols
belted around their waists, in the usual
California style. They made the nc
quaintance of Neyille's men and two of
them agreed to guard Neville as the
steamer was to pass through Santa
Barbara channel. Each deputy mar
shall had his man picked. and if the at
tack had been made by the schooner
Vesta they would have shot Neville and
every one of his gang.
The plct miscarried and the steamer
passed on her way to Panama without
any trouble.
The syndicate of English friends of
the southern confederacy lost all that
Neville had expended in fitting out the
expedition with the exception of the
proceeds of the sale of the schooner
Vesta and her supplies at Hong Kong
whittier she went after the failure of
Neville's plans. The confederates of
Neville who sailed with him on the
steamer were paid off by him at Pana-
ma, and he and Miss Elliott took the
French steamer at Aspinwall for the
West indies and Europe. The news

THE FRENCH IN AMERICA.

Contribution.

Most Noteworthy Is the Canadian
Contribution.
The French element in the United
States at the present time embraces va
rious groups. The French of Louisiana
picturesque old capital of New Or
leans-exotic among American cities
with its French survivals, its dream OF
past commercial dominion, and its
vision of future power; and the simple
and ignorant Acadian farmers, contin-
uing the primitive customs of the ba-
sin of Grand Pre-, along the tranquil
waters Of the Aesche, remote from the
corroding touch of busy modern life.
The metis, or half breeds, also survivals
Of the old French days, are scattered
in considerable numbers through the
northwest, as packmen, boatmen and
lumbermen
But the most noteworthy French ele-
ment in the United States at the pres
ent time consists in the French Cana
dians who began about 20 years ago to
cross the border into this country.
This movement was due in part to the
expansive power of this fecund people
and in part to the effort of New Eng
land mill owners to bring them AIS OPP
eratives. The result has been to intro
ducc a now strain or French influence
into this country. The United States
census of 1890 reports $4,000 white
persons having either one or both par
ents born in Canada and Newfound-
land OF French extraction. Leading
French Canadians deny the correctness
of this report, and ON the basis of
church records hold that it should be
more than doubled.
The French Canadi4ps are found
in greatest numbers in the North At
lantic states and the North Central
states. AS rule they are grouped in
settlements of their own, aiming to
preserve their race, language, customs
and religion.-Frederick ]. Turner, PHI

The SWEETEST SONGS.

The sweetest songs are left unsung,
The sweetest themes unread;
The sweetest chords are left unstrung.
The sweetest words ulsaid-
How strange 1t IS. and yet how true.
Surpassing mortal ken.
We still can catch blessed view
OF thought and times ard men.
Though brightest paths remain unknown
And few the heights We tread,
Though we must struggle or alone
With deepest tears uHshed;
Although our hearts are anguish wrunG
And ev'ry effort pain,
If we can keep another young;
We have not lived in vain.
'Tis said the fairest buds decay;
Perhaps they do, and yet,
CDCn the darkest, dulleSt way,
How many flowers are met.
The happy hours so quickly fee
We sigh to see them go,
When out upon Iife's troubled sea
The moments move so slow.
Shall sweetest songs be left unsung?
The sweetest themes unread?
The sweetest chords be left unstrung3
The sweetest words unsaii?
When We have but to do our best,
The very best We can.
To have the future richly blest
OF God and truth and man.
