FAILURE OF PHILANTHROPY.
Poor Results, of Government Provi-
sions for the Retirement of
the Indians.

Under the advice Of the best and most
courageous of the friends Of the Indian,
an act for the allotment Of them tribal
lands in seyeralty to the Indians, under
certain conditions, was passed by con-
gress in 1884. Since that time many of
the tribes have apportioned their lands
to their individual members, and have
given up the tribal life, says Youths
Companion.
AS the Indians to whom lands We're so
allotted were forbidden to sell or other
wise ALLEVIATE their land under 20 years,
and as steps were taken to start them
as farmers, it was supposed that the
measure would do more to civilize and
make them self-supporting, under ex-
isting conditions, than anything else
has DONE Fifteen years have gone by
since the first allotment of lands, and
the public men who were the authors
and most earnest advocates Of the
severalty law have lately expressed
deep encouragement with the result.
Although the Indians cannot yet sell,
tneN can dT1Q 90 lease tHtlT dliOllcu
lands to white men. There are reserva-
tions in the west where practically all
the farms are rented to white men,
while their owners and their families
retire to unassigned parts Of the reser-
vation and live ia the old wild way.
Meantime the vices of the white men
are communicated to them more read
lily than ever before, and they are with
out the tribal government and the re-
straint of strong men Of their own race
which often went with it.
As a whole. the condition of the In
dams is undoubtedly improving, but
there are some cases in which, under
the allotment system, they have actual
ly retrograded. The fact is now APP
parent that 1t is difficult TO make a self
supporting farmer of the Indian in one
generation. The Indian still needs safe
guards against corruption, and above
all he needs practical and simple in
struction, at his home, in the few in
dustrial occupations which he may be
able TO follow.

YANKEE INVENTION TO WIN.
Vast Territory in Asia, Africa and
south America Lies FaIIow for
American Machinery.

It is happy fact that Yankees are so
quick to invent and so slillful to use
machinerf Of all kinds, says AinsIee's
Magazine. Within the next few years
there will be tremendous opportunities
for civil. mechanical and electrical en-
gineers in Asia. When the Chinese cast
the first railway from Shanghai TO Woo
sung into the river they were only
preparing themselves for network of
railways over the whole of China. When
the Coreans in Seoul destroyed the new
electric line and burned the cars, they
exhausted the forces of conservatism.
and before long concluded that the cleo
trio railway was the best scheme for
saving extra exertion in walking that
had ever been devised. Large portions
Of South America and South Africa
may be undeveloped and possessed of
great material resources. but nowhere
else does such a combination OF human
and natural conditions tempt indus
trial activity as in China. Nowhere else

KIOndiIxe.


Ten years Of railroad building ought
to bring at least half of China's popula-
ton within reach Of our cotton goods,
and that, without any increase in the
per capita use (only one dollar) Of our
cotton goods, would amount to $500, 900
900, or more than the total surplus of
cotton now raised by us for export,
says Leslie's Weekly. China lies largely
in the zone of severe winters, and while
it has the greatest deposits of coal the
Chinese have never yet solved the prob
lem Of building heating stoves. Thein-
PRODUCTION Of cheap American heaters
into $4,000, 900 Chinese homes is one of
the possibilities which lie before our
manufacturers.
The Chinese are nation living in
brick houses in a land without brick
making machine. Thousands of walled
cities, millions of homes, all built of
brick, and every brick made by hand.
These bricks are made by labor cost
Ing but ten cents per day, still they cost
more than our machine brick made with
labor costing twenty-five times as much.
Brick made by American machines with
Chinese labor will command the mar
ket.

The Pendulum.

BY a curious coincidence | had read
Poe's story of 1.-The Pit and the Pen
dulum" that morning out under a tree
in Sussex, says Kenneth Herford in
the Detroit Free Press. Get your
hat" said my host after luncheon,
and we'll drive over to Rye" In that
quaint little old-world town, one of the
cinque ports of England, you remem-
Der, there stands a moss and ivy COW
cred church, tucked away between the
houses, and surrounded by the yard
filled with tipping, fitting t~ombstones,,
from whose faces time has erased the
written words. 1t was inside this
church l saw the pendulum. l had
never thought Poe's affair could have
been genuine, but the Rye church pen
dulum is its counterpart. The clock
to which 1t is attached hangs against
a beam away up in the arch. The face
is no larger than the bottom of a pail,
but the arm of the pendulum stretches
down to within two feet of the peoples
heads. 1t must be twenty-eight feet
in length. AS it swings it marks an
arc Of the width of the nave by n
great swoop, like that of a huge bird.
The ticks of the clock are forty Sec
onds apart and loud enough to break
up a political meeting. Tourists are
constantly visiting the old church Just
to see the pendulum, and the caretaker
told me that not one out of ten Of
them but had been drawn there to con-
firm the story of Poe's pendulum.

TO Gather the First Crop of Ginkgo
Nuts In This Country.

To Gather the First Crop of Ginkeo
Nuts In This Country.
Washington special to Chicago
Journal: The Chinese laundrymen of
Washington have been getting up very
early these fall mornings in order to
go nutting. But it is not the chestnuts
or the ~chinquepins which tempt them,
though both abound in the vicinity.
They have been gathering in the
Ginkgo nuts, borne on six female
Ginkgo trees composing part OF the
handsome double row which borders
the smooth asphalt drive leading I'D to
the main building of the agricultural
department. The yield of these six
trees is the first considerable crop of
Ginkgo nuts eve grown in this coun-
try. Their home is Japan and China,
and the inhabitants of these countries
regard the nuts as a choice article of
food. The trees in the grounds of the
agricultural department were grown
from seed imported thirty years ago.
They are just now arriving at maturi-
ty The nut looks more like a persim-
mon than a nut. It's exterior is a soft
Shiny pulp of a whitish color and
much shriveled in appearance. When
shaken from the trees the nuts fall in
a sloppy mess on the ground. The
Cinnamon gather them in wooden
boxes and take them to the little arti-
fetal lake near by. Here they wash
off the pulp, which has a peculiar and
frightfully offensive odor, and the nut,
which looks like a plum pit, except
that 1t is winter, is put into a bag.
The nuts are cooked before being
eaten. The interior is soft and gelat-
nous and rather tasteless. Ameri-
cans who have tasted them do not
tax kindly to them, and the fondness
Of the oriental for them is credited to
the Renaissance which they recall of
his native land and possibly the nut
pies which mother used to make"
The Ginkgo tree was imported for
shade and ornamental purposes. 1t
resembles the poplar in certain re-
spects, but it's shape is more regular,
being pyramidal and gracefully taper
ing. 1t has a dark green escalloped
leaf which adheres until the very lat
est frosts. Then it turns a bright
yellow and sheds rapidly. The nuts
grow only On the female trees and are
close to the branches behind the
leaves, and each has it's individual
stem. The department has received a
request from the Vanderbilt estate
near Asheville, N. c., for some of the
seeds of the tree, and has sent a peck
of the nuts to "Biltmore," where an
effort will be made to grow some of
the trees.

International arbitration is not so
new an idea as some suppose. On
six different occasions between 1887
and 1858 congress has entertained Pc
titions and memorials on the subject
from peace societies and bodies of citi-
zens in New England, New York and
Virginia. Even the cars proposal for
a congress of nations in the interest
of peace was anticipated by resolu-
tons adopted by the legislature Of
Massachusetts, in 1874, and similar
action was taken by the legislature OF
Vermont in 1853. DR.. Franklin's ar
dent wish that the nations of the earth
might find "some more reasonable
method of settling disputes than by
cutting each others threats" must
have been cherished by many friends
of humanity long before his day.

Extraordinary Marriage Vow.

Short Stories Magazine: An English
rural clergyman says that in his par
ish it was quite the fashion for the
man, when giving the ring in the mar
rage ceremony, to say to the woman:
with my body l thee wash up, and
with all my hurdle goods l thee and
thou" He said the women were bet
ter up in this part of the service than
the men. One day, however, a bride
startled him by promising, in what she
supposed to be the language of the
prayer book, to take her husband "to
ave and old from this day forni't for
betterer horse, for richer power, in
s%iggerness health, to love cherries and
to bay" What meaning this extraor-
binary vow conveyed to the woman's
W mind, the incumbent said, baf-
fed him to conjecture.

Confession on the battlefield.

At Shiloh, during a pause in the fire
OF Hazen's brigade, the enemy, being
sharp and incessant, a young lieuten-
ant, as witty and as grave as the
brigade contained, was standing be-
hind a tree. A fat and fussy field Of
ficer, after passing by, roared out:
Lieutenant, what are you doing be-
hind that tree?-behind that tree, sir?''
The offender left his cover, walked
coolly up to his irascible superior, and
respectfully saluting, replied: "Sir,
have the honor to report that 1 was
engaged in wishing that it grew in my
fathers pasture"

were dazzling to behold. To crown
all, and as an irresistible finish, she

A short time ago two yaks were i'm
ported to Gothenburg, and were later
sent to Stockholm, Sweden. The sec
rotary of the ~Gothenburg Touring
club recommends that yaks be import
ed into northern Sweden for use by the
pioneer farmers, the long and cold
winters being rather severe for ordi-
nary cattle. 1t is declared that it would
not be necessary to stall-feed the yak
during winter; that the farmers would
get a strong, hardy and tractable beast
of burden, which also would supply
milk of good quality, and which could
find its way ever through deep snow.
1t remains yet to be seen whether or
not any one is willing to act upon the
suggestion. DR.. Sven Hedin, who dur
ing his expeditionsFin central Asia has
had opportunities for studying the
yak in its native land, thinks the ex-
pertinent worth trying.
