Mad Rush for Indian Brides Made by

Mad Rush Tor Indian Brides Made by
Avaricious Whites.
Love-making Of a fast order is now
going on in the Choctaw nation, Indian
Territory. About 5000 white men have
already won Choctaw brides and the land
and money that accompany them. The
cause Of the rush is the recent announce
mcnt Of the Dawes commission that after
the first of the month all persons not
Choctaws by blood will not be enrolled
on the citizenship list. This means no
white men who marry Choctaw women
will be allowed to share in lands and
money OF the Choctaw tribe. Hence quick
love-making on part Of civilized man.
The Choctaw girls are rather pretty
and some are highly educated Those
who are not full bloods refuse to marry

Our Insect Friends.

The information sent out by the Board of
Agriculture the Experiment Station aud the
newspapers in regard to the birds which are
harmful or pful to man is having its effect
IN better discrimination by the farmers be-
tween their feathered friends and foes In
sects are generally considered as enemies
yet man has many friends even in this divis-
ion of the animal kingdom. We mention
below two families which are now doing
good work;
The ravages of the for est tree and apple
tree tent caterpilars this year are not with
out redeeming features. The very fact of
the large numbers of these pests this year
will prove beneficial in the future The cat
erpllars have gone into the cocoons and will
soon emerge as moths but while they are in
the cocoon state an enemy is at work upon
them whose work is far more deadly to them
than that of man can be. The coCoons are
now attached to the corners, under fence
rails, on the lower side of ciapboards and in
similar places. and an examination will re-
veal upon many of them the pupa of
species of chneumon fly, which lays its eggs
in the body Of the caterpillar, and proves his
death while he is in the chrysalis state. in
the cocoon. When persons are destroying
the cocoons it is well to leave such as show
these parasites, as the larva of the caterpillar
is dead. and the parasite is one of mans best
friends as an insect fighter. The parasites.
which work in these cocoons are of two
kinds and in the pupa state in which we now
find them, one is one-fourth of an inch long,
oblong in shape and red in color; the other
three-eighths of an inch, oblong and dark
brown. The great number of caterpillars
this year will cause corresponding increase
in the number of the parasites, which will
keep down the number next year.
Man finds another able ally in protecting
his crops from insect ravages in the family
of beetles commonly known as lady bugs
These a re found on the leaves of rose bush
es and other valuable plants and are suppos-
ed by many TO be feeding upon the leaves.
This is not the case, however They eat
the small plant lice and insect eggs, and no
species ,of this family is a leaf eater. The
lady bugs should be saved, as they destroy
insects and eggs too small to be seen by the
human eye. A housewife in this city re-

The Literary Digest of June 18th CON

against classical education now becoming
general throughout Europe 1t says:
Even conservative Germany is protest
ing with some vigor, while in Russia lead
ing educationists have taken up the cud-
gels for a practical, scientific education. "
In France the cry for more modern and
progressive education has led to the es-
Enlistment of new schools, where living
languages have taken the place of dead
ones, and Shakespeare, Goethe and other
foreign authors displaced Homer and Vir-
gil. 1t is to be hoped this revolt will ex-
tend to this country, and that at no dis
tant day. The absurdity of turning out
graduates with a mere smattering of
Greek and Latin, who cannot speak or
write the English language correctly, ought
to be manifest to every one. Too much
time is wasted on dead languages and
dead issues. Is it not better that our
young people should become familiar
with the history of their own country than
with that of ancient Greece or Rome?
