An Indian Practical Joke,

1t is pretty general belief that the
Indian is destitute of sense of
humor. An ex-army officer, however,
recently had little experience which
would indicate that the noble red man
can play practical joke and appreci-
ate it too. We find the story in the
Detroit Free Press.

big Indian, when l was out walking
alone about two miles from camp.
"Well, he discovered me about the
same time, and the minute he did so
he let out terrific war-whoop, began
hourishing his tomahawk, and started
for me on run. He chased me until
/ keeled over from exhaustion, and
then, instead of scalping me as L
naturally expected he would from his
previous actions, he assisted me to
my feet, with broad grin on his face,
and grunted.
"'Ugh! Injun only yell for fun, Too

want scalp. Want chew terbackerp
''The whole proceeding it seemed
was only his humorous method of
striking stranger for chew of
tobacco. If / had had something to
strike back with it might not have
been quite funny-for him, but, I'M

The experiment of compulsory vot-
ing is to be tried in Pennsylvania, the
last Legislature having passed law to
that effect. This, in the opinion of
the American Agriculturist, "will be
watched with much interest. Much can
be said in favor of this, for if men are
compelled to vote they will take more
interest in public affairs. Pennsylva-
mia is in advance on matters of this
kind, as it compels the education of
children prevents the employment of
certain minors, fixes the rules of a
days work, provides for the payment
of employees of the public and corpora
tions at certain times, and compels
the payment of taxes TO support the
state and local governments.

The Young ChnmnIs.

We had a full half hour to wait be-
fore the drive began, and were re-
warded by one of the prettiest and
most. interesting sights and lessons in
natural history l have ever seen
namely, the sight of an old chamois
giving its young kid a lesson in Jump
ing. / must premise by mentioning
that it is very difficult-in fact, i'm
possible--for any one but very old
hand to distinguish buck chamois
from doe as they are moving, and
the rule is not to shoot at chamois
if it has kid with it, as that is a
pretty sure sign it is a doe.
A few minutes after we had been
sitting quietly at our posts, and be-
fore the drive began, the keeper called
my attention to chamois head and
neck, which had suddenly appeared
on the sky line about $50 yards off.
1t turned out to be doe with kid.
They came along slowly, not at all
thinking OF danger, and not in any
way as yet disturbed by the drivers,
who were mile or two away, and
who had not yet begun to drive. They
both came quietly down the steep
mountainside until they came to a
place where there was drop of about
twelve feet, and then took place the
following beautiful sight, which was
also Witnessed by s. and his jaeger
from where they sat. The old cham
ois jumped down, as matter of
course, but the kid ''funked," and
would not follow. The old one looked
mp at it, and then went back another
way to the ledge on which the kid
was standing, and again jumped down,
so as to show the young one how to

The whole trend of education has
materially changed since the war, OBJ
serves the New England Homestead.
Public sentiment now demands the
best education for the masses. The
feeling is general that in endeavoring
to supply this demand, we have gone
to extremes in book learning, to the
sacrifice of practical training in the
manual or industrial arts. As
President Fairchild of the Kansas
Agricultural college truly says, there
has been wonderful evolution in the
application of education to agricul-
ture, yet We are but fairly on the
threshold of such direction and sue

agriculture an art of the first rank.

The Typical American Girl.

As type the American girl smiles
at us from the canvas of great artist,
and there is a dash of coquetry in her
sweet eyes and a suggestion of mysti-
cism in her grave, parted lips. In song
and verse she is celebrated, and she is
the very breath of life to the modern
novel, to the writer and illustrator
alike. But in real life who among us
has seen her? Where is she to be
found? Not in the West. She is
charming there, breezy, spirited, ORR
ginal, slangy, Independent and de-
ligltfully unconventional but pro-
vincial rather than national. You
may look in vain for her among the
fragile, Dresden china bas-bleus of
New England, whose opinions and ac-
cent are equally chilling, and whose
dainty eye glasses are never, by any
chance, couleur de rose. South Of
the Mason and Dixon line there exist
sweet voiced, sweet Tipped women, al
ways gracious, graceful and gentle,
but, alas never typical. Surely it
will not be necessary to pursue the
ignis fatuus beyond New York, for
New York expects to be patted every
time the American type is mentioned;
but, strange to say, it is by careful
study of the youth and beauty of this
cosmopolitan city that the truth is
brought to light that there is no typi-
cal American girl.
We have, indeed, been lured to wor-
ship at false shrine. There is the
Gibson girl, who israther the Southern
type with an added hauteur and di-
rectness of style; the Smedley girl, who
is a combination of New York and
San Francisco; the Howells girl, who
has the manners of Boston with the
soul of Chicago; and the Henry James
girl, whose manners and soul .are de-
void of any local color whatever; but
even a composite girl of these four
types would scarcely be sufficiently
representative. 1t would be quite as
sensible to insist that the daisy should
grow like rose, blossom like an Or
child and carry the perfume of violet,
as to attempt to condense American
girlhood, with its varying qualities of
earnestness, vivacity, mirth, dignity,
gentleness, independence and mental
alertness, into one typical American
girl. l.-Demorest's Magazine.

Dainty Iinperiq.

Ribbons play an important part in
dainty undergarments, and are run
through or under insertions and tied
in bows wherever possible. Fronts of
Empire gowns are sometimes tucked
down for three or four inches from the
throat in very fine tucks, whence the
fullness is unconfined, and below
the tucks are crosswise bands of in
sertion put on straight or in Van
dykes. The shoulder collars are
usually pointed into revers in front,
and run down both sides of the front,
well over the bust and even to the
waist line. The backs of the Empire
gowns are laid in box plaits the depth
of the yoke, and sometimes tucked to
the waist. The embroideries used are
of fine lace like patterns, and they are
put on as gathered ruifies or frills, not
in straight edgings.
The very daintiest corset covers are
marvels of fine needlework, often be-
ing made entirely of rows of insertion
between bands of linen cambric, main
sock or silk. Fine embroidered bead
ing heads most rufiies, whether of
lace or embroidery, and is used in al
most all jennings, between bands of
tucks and insertion, and ON all edges /;
often all the seams of silk undergar-
ments, room gowns and matinees are
put together with it.-Demorest's s

A Family of Orphan Pigs.

A mother pig died leaving large
family of pink and white little pigs.
All the hands on the farm were busy,
and there seemed no way to do but
to let the orphans die from starvation.
The other pigs treated them with the
greatest unconcern and apparently
felt no pity for them.
But little girl came running
around the corner of the big red barn,
and when she saw the little pigs and
heard of their sad plight she said
quite promptly:
'I'll adopt 'em," and her father
very willingly gave them to her.
They were all squealing piteously
for their dinner, and at first their lit
tie mistress did not know what to do
with them or how to feed them, for
they were much too young to drink
out of trough.
But she soon had bright idea,
She ran to the house and beseeched
her motheisfor an old tin teapot which
had long stood on the pantry shelf.
Then she found rubber mouthpiece
exactly like those used ON baby's
bottle. This she securely fitted on
the spout of the teapot, which was
then filed with milk. BY this time
the little piggies were in pitable
state of hunger. The little girl ran
out and took the piggies one by one
from the soft straw of their box, and
they laid hold of the teapot spout
with little grunts of satisfaction, and
when they had finished their dinner
they all curled up together and went
off to sleep. The little girl always
fed the runts-the small, weak pigs of
the litter--before the others, and they
soon grew large and strong. In q
few weeks the whole family of orphans
would set up great squealing every
time their mistress appeared, some
times following her across the yard
like so many kittens. Few people
know how clean and soft and cunning
very little pigs are, and the little girl
greatly. enjoyed her family. When
they were a little older she taught
them to eat out of the trough, and
now she has the finest litter of pigs
anywhere in the township. Chicago

Well, here we are down on the ice,
and the dogs impatient to start. Let
me describe. The sled consists of a
marrow box four feet long, the front
half being covered or boxed in,
mounted on floor eight feet long
resting on runners. In this box the
passenger sits, wrapped in rabbit skins
so that he can hardly move, his head
and shoulders only projecting. In
front and behind and on top of the
box is placed all the luggage, covered
with canvas, and securely lashed, to
withstand all the jolting and possible
upsets, and our snowshoes within
easy reach. An important item is the
dogwhip, terrible to the dog if used
by skillful hand and terrible to the
user If he be q novice; for he is sure
to half-strangle himself or to hurt his
own face with the business end of the
lash. The whip measured had q
handle nine inches long and lash
thirty feet, and weighed four pounds.
The lash was of folded and plated
seal-hide, and for five feet from
the handle measured five inches
round, then for fourteen feet it grad
ually tapered of, ending in a single
thong half an inch thick and eleven
feet long. Wonderful the dexterity
with which driver can pick out o
dog, and almost spot on dog with
his lash. The lash must be trailing
at full length behind, when jerk
and turn of the wrist causes it to fly
forward, the thick part first, and the
tapering end continuing the motion
till it is at full length in front, and the
lash making the fur fly from the VIC
tim. But often it is made to crack
over the heads of the dogs as warm
ing. The eleven dogs were harnessed
to the front of the sled, each by n
separate thong of seal hide, all of diff
ferent lengths, fastened to a light can
vas harness. The nearest dog was
about fifteen feet from the sled, and the
leader, with bells on her, about fifty
feet, the thongs thus increasing in
length by about three feet. When
the thong is good the dogs spread out
like the fingers of a hand, but when
the snow is deep they fall into each
others tracks in almost single file.
As they continually cross and recross
each other, the thongs get gradually
plated almost up to the rearmost dog,
when a halt is called, the dogs are
made to lie down, and the driver care
fully disentangles them, taking care
that no dog gets away meanwhile.
They are guided by the voice, using
Husky" that is, Eskimo works:
"Owk," go to the right; Arrah," to
the left, and "Hoit," straight ON.
But often one of the men must run
ahead on snowshoes for the dogs to
follow him. (Canada) Times.
