SITS DOWN TO WALK.

The Western Indians, though not
fond of work, do not approve Of indo-
lent white men. The cheap good white
man" is the white man who works
hard; and to sit by and watch him as
he tolls seems to afford them never
failing pleasure. Some young war
riors' of the Blackfoot tribe sat one
day watching group of laborers who
were constructing a grade for a branch
railroad in Montana. They were com
mentin@ upon the workmcn and their
work, when bicyclist, the first that
they had ever seen, came riding along
the ncwly-completed grade. He had
cot off the train at the last station,
and was going to the fort, little far
ther on. The Indians watched the
wheeman without word until he
passed beyond a knoll which hid him
from view; then they expressed their
sentiments concerning him. ''No good
white man. one remarked. No"
answered another with great scorn
Heap lazy white man-Sit down to
walk"

THE PRESIDENTS DESK.

If the thousands that have occasion
to sit in the Presidents reception room
waiting their turns for audience only
knew it, they might make the time
seem less monotonous by contemplat-
ing the chief article of furniture.
Many of these visitors are anxious
to go to foreign parts. The massive
desk that occupies the centre of the
room has travelled farther than any of
the candidates will. 1t has circum-
navigated the globe by route that no
human being has followed The Presi-
dent sits behind it and writes his mes
sages to Congress. With its massive
ness and its wealth of carving, the
desk gives no indication of it's hstori-
Cal origin.
Schoolboys know that Sir John
Franklin went to discover the North
Pole and never came back The good
ship Resolute drifted and drifted in the
Arctic ocean currents, spared from de-
struction in some mysterious manner,
until she reached the waters of the adj
venturous American whalers off the
shores of Alaska. She was boarded
and claimed by those who found her
When she reached San Francisco the
United States bought her, repaired
and relitted her, manned her with an
American crew and sent her to Eng
land with international compliments
Twenty years ago the old ship was
broken up. From the soundest of the
timbers was made handsome desk,
by direction Of the Queen, to be pre-
sontcd to the then President of the
United States That is the desk that
stands in the reception room at the
White House, and upon which the state
papers of six administrations have
been written.

POULTRY ON A SMALL FARM.

The keeping of 200 hens on ten
acre farm would not interfere with
growing full crops of corn, potatoes or
grass, and by adopting a system of
soiling small dairy, say four cows,
might be kept on ten acres in connec
tion with poultry-growing. The COWS
would furnish manure to keep part
of the land in very high state of culti-
vaton, and the skim-milk given to
drink, used to mix the dough or made
into curd for young fowls, would fur
nish excellent food for them. If one
or two acres of laud could be devoted
to potatoes all unsalable ones would
make good chicken feed. Just to what
extent any one should keep, each one
must determine for himself In some
cases it will pay best to keep only one
kind of thoroughbred fowls, and sell
the eggs and fowls for breeding pur-
poses, but this will require some skill
in advertising and care in breeding.
The most successful poultrygrower of
my acquaintance kept pure Plymouth
Rocks, and also bred turkeys, ducks
and geese.

Plant SUGAR NAPLES.

Should we plant maple groves?
There can hardly be two opinions on
this subject. The beet sugar industry
never was problem. 1t pays better
than thrcc-tourths of our farm work.
At eight cents a pound maple sugar
finds ready market. while much of the
better product sells at ten and twelve
cents. The syrup is sold hv produ-
GERS directly to consumers at one dol.
lar "allon-vcry rarely ut less than
50 cents. Throughout New York.
New Jersey. Pennsylvania and other
states this direct sale to consumers
takes up large part of the product,
excepting only two or three counties
OF northern New York. But it is not
just now as a nlaln>t product that the
subject should be mainly considered.
Every family is sugar consumer and
a sugar buyer. Most farmers can
make the larger part of this sugar
supply as easily as they can raise their
own potatoes. A family of six or
seven will consume from one to two
barrels of sugar in a year. Granula-
ted sugar will cost such a family from
SD to $50 a year. A grove of 80 trees
will produce from 200 to $50 pounds
of maple sugar. That is, where the
tree stands in the open. The product
is less where the sugar is made from
trees in the forest. This is equivalent
to at least half the family's require
ments Tor sugar. But the sales of
syrup will make an aggregate value
per tree even higher. a grove of so
trees standing in the open will occupy
not more than quarter of an acre.
Besides the sugar product, the grove
is advantageous for shade, also for an
enormous product of humus each fall,
and for wind-breaks and shelter, and
as an eqalizer of temperture and mois-
ture. Maple trees should grow in
grove. They do not thrive we'll as
street trees, where they are subject to
much abuse of the saw and exposure
of the trunk to hot sunshine. A grove
might well be given place on every
farm of 20 acres. Why shall there
not be general planting of maple
groves

THE CHILD THAT DISOBEYS.

Many a passionate child rules the
household. The little baby on its
mothers knee goes into passion be-
cause its dinner is withheld from him
OF some toy denied him. He shrieks
and strikes his mother. and the mother
says: ''Poor little boy? he has such
passionate nature: he can't be crossed"
and she yields to him. The child,
though he be so young that he cannot
speak, if he be old enough to lift his
fist and strike blow deserves punish
ment, needs to have lesson of repres-
sion taught it. Mothers sometimes say
when a child shows vile temper and
shrieks good deal, that it would en-
danger his future to punish him; per-
haps so; but you still more endanger
his future if you don't punish him.
Day by day we see criminals, hun
dreds of thousands of them, in
the course of year. We see scores
of broken hsarted parents, wishing
rather their sons had never been born
than they had lived such burdens Of
shame and disgrace. We hear the wall
ings Of disappointed mothers and see
Inundated fathers crying like children
because of the sins of their children.
And seeing these dreadful things
till our hearts ache we say to those
mothers and fathers whose boys have
not yet gone astray, to mothers and
fathers whose little families are the
care OF their lives-teach your child
rem obedience. We want it written
large. We wish we could make it blaze
in letters of fire. We wish we could
write it in imperishable, glowing let
lers on the wall of every home-obe-
dience! obedience! Obedience to the
law-to household law; to paternal
authority; unquestioning, instant ex-
act obedience. Obedience in the fam
lily, obedience in the school,
Where ever, from the beginning,
from the first glimmering of intelli-
gence in the child, there is an express
sion of law, let there be taught respect
for it and obedience to it. 1t is the
right road, the safe road, the only
road

1T is JUST AS IMPORTANT

That you enrich and purify your blood

low water level, and other causes, there

Only Five Hundred Francs.
BY GUY DE MAUPASSANT
Translated .fom tie French
BY ANNE f.. SNYDER.

She was an exceedingly pretty and
charming girl, born, as if by an error
Of destiny, in an obscure family. She
had neither position nor MARIA sc por-
tion to attract either Il rich or distin-
guishcd man; so she married 4 petty
clerk of the milister of education. and
always believed she ought to have pos
sessed a higher social position.
She felt out-classed by women better
gownsi than she, and this circumstance
caused her much unhappiness; for
women have neither caste or race, their
b,auty, grace, and charm serving them
for birth and family. Their native
tinesSe, their instinct of elegance, their
suppleness of spirit, comprise their sole
inheritance, and render the daughters
Of the people equals of the grandest
danes.
This young woman thought herself
born for all the delcacics and luNurics
of life, and, because of their lacking,
she suffered without ceasing.
The plainness of her lodgings, the
hardness of the chairs, the baroness of
the walls, the ugiiness of furnishings,
which other women Of her station in
life would not have perceived, both
tortured and angered her
The sight of the little Breton who
did the work of the establishment
awakened sad regrets and disordered
fancies.
She dreamed of antc-chambers deco
rated with oriental hangings, lighted
by beautiful lamps of bronze; and Of
tall footmcn in livery She imagined
large snio"s, hung with ancient tapes
tries and adorned with bric-a-hrac of
in stimable value; and small salons,
fragrant with eNotics and ready for
tive-o' clock gatherings of intimate
friends and distinguished men Of the
time.
When her husband and she sat down
for dinner at the tiny table. covered
with Il cloth i'll use for three days, he

Unprecedented Display of Flags All

turned from a visit to New York last
evening says the demand for flags and

Orders for flags have poured in from
everywhere in the land and the manu-

limit and are then wholly unable to
keep pace with the demand. The prices
of flags and bunting have gone up
amazingly. The city of New York is
