In any pasture or other uncultivated
piece of ground, or by the roadside,
you may find many pretty buried
stones, of all sizes, from small peb-

than a man can lift.
No one who has not explored would
guess how much of the life of the fields
and woods goes on under the stones.
Here a multitude of little creatures
snakes, nevis, snails and many insects

Dear Sir: 2The viceroy has the great

that which he understands you are
sending to the American people as to
the immense size of the contributions
that have been made by the American
public to the relief of the recent Indian
famine. Whether these contributions
have taken the form of money or
clothing, or grain, they have sprung
from the Two Doblest of human senti-

mankind and the recognition Of a
common aid between the two great
branches Of the English-speaking race,
and they have exercised a positive and
material influence in the mitigation of

How to make the Indian eelf-sup-

Brown tackles in the Southern Work
man He would solve the problem by
making the red men a race of goat
herders. He says: THE question OF
self-support for Indians Is a difHcult
one. The limitations imposed upon
them by the nature Of the country in
which they live and the lack of an in
herited habit Of work, together with
the pauperizing tendency Of the ration
system, make it difficult for them to
progress very rapidly toward seIt-sup-
port. And since a training having this
end in view should be n of the fac
tors In their education the question is
one in which the schools should be
particularly interested. Ii has been
suggested that goat culture might Of
fer a solution OF the difficulty in some
localities. The Indians familiarity
with and love for animals makes herd
ing a natural calling for them. and
they can therefore be easily trained In
the care Of stock. Then. too, goats can
sustain life where cattle cannot. That
goat culture may be made profitable
there Is little doubt. since there ap-
pears to be a ready market for the,
various products. Statistics show that
the importation OF the skins. from
which the chief value is derived, in
creased 20 per cent in the fiscal year of
1898 as compared with 1897. Most OF
the goat skins used in this country are
imported. 1t has been estimated that
the market value Of the importation
of these skins amounts to twenty mil.
