WISE WORDS.

Learning makes a man fit company
for himseh.-Young.
A laugh is worth a hundred grcanE
in any market.-Lamb.
Ambition is the only power that
combats love.-COlley Cibber.
To see what is right and not to do it
is want Of courage-Confucius
Hard workers are usually honest;
industry lifts them above temptation.
-Bovee.
The man with but one idea in his
head is sure to exaggerate that to tops
heaviness, and thus he loses his equil-S
ibrium.-A. Hill.
The universal self-delusion is this:
When a man has a good thought, he
fancies he has become what he thinks
for the moment Good thoughts are
very good; but unaccompanied by the
difficult processes of character, they
are often no better than soap-bubbles.

Try to Make Blood Oranges.

Consul Hughes, in his report to the
State Department, at Washington,
sent from Coburg, Germany, says:
There is great demand in Ger.
many for the so-called italian blood
orange The popular idea here is that
this fruit is colOred, not by nature,
but by injections Of some artificial
vegetable dye. To discover the truth.
or fallacy Of this belief several we'll
known German chemists have been
experimenting, first. to find out from
the blood orange itself if it's color is.
due to artificial means, and, secondly,
to change the common Italian orange
into a blood orange by injections OF
different kinds Of coloring matter.
The experiments, however, have not
been attended with success.
1T was found that no single mice
ton of any solution would color more
than one part of the orange, and that
IL several injections were made the
fruit was likely to decompose very
quickly. The theory was then adx
vanced that the coloring was pr
duced by watering the roots of
trees with a blood-red vegetable
ton. 1t is needless to say this IS
ment was as barren Of results
first"

Blight on Pear Trees.

With all the remedies suggested for
blight on pear trees. the difficulty still
exists, and many pear orchards are de-
stroyed every year. At one time it
was believed that by keeping the or
chard ground in grass the pear trees
would escape, but, while the rapid
growth of the trees seems favorable to
attack Of blight, and, although the
grass may retard attack, yet the trees
sooner or later succumb to the disease
should it find its way into the orchard.
The spraying of trees, or treating the
trees at the roots will confer benefit,
but there is no sure remedy for blight.

RIGHT EYES was a little In
* dian girl of the Pima tribe.
In Arizona, and Eagle Heart,
6 who was but a few years old
or, was her brother. They lived on a
reservation about a dozen miles from
the city of Phoenix.
The Indians derive names for their
children from circumstances, person
al or otherwise, which seem to sug-
gest them at the time Of birth. For
instance, the father Of Bright Eyes
and Eagle Heart was called Thunder
Cloud, and 1t is probable that there
was a storm, OF that one was portend-
ing at the time he was born. So, too.
the bright eyes Of his little daughter
suggested her name, and something
of a dauntless nature must early have
manifested itself in his son to lead to
his appellatlon. At any rate, fanciful
as all this might seem in young chill
dren, Bright Eyes and Eagle Heart
were well named
The home of this little sister and
DfoJner was peculiar structure made
of poles and withes and plastered with
mud. 1t looked very much like the
half Of a sphere set fat on the ground,
and had no window and only two
openings. One opening was in the
roof, to let out the smoke of the house
hold fire, and the other was at the
side, hung with a piece of canvas and
used as a door.
The mother of Bright Eyes and
Eagle Heart was dead, and their faith

part Oh the monsters body. The sleeD-
ing creature was aroused at once and
began to hiss at Eagle Heart. Not at
all frightened, the boy launched an
other shaft, which struck the creature
so sharply between the horns that il
Tell to the earth and lay PROSTATE. A
moment later the Kissing ceased, and
there was no doubt in the mind of
Eagle Heart that he had killed the
monster or wounded it to the death.
In order to make assurance doubly
sure, however, he picked up a stout
stick, and uttering a quavering war
whoop rushed upon the demon and
never ceased dealing blow after blow
until he had crushed it out of all re-
semblance to its former shape.
Am l not great hunterY' cried
Eagle Heart, flushed with his victory
and striking his breast with his
clinched hand.
"Oh, what a wonderful thing YOU
have done, Eagle Hearth cried the
ecstatic little Bright Eyes, clapping
her hands and dancing for joy. per
haps the wise men Of the tribe will adj
nit you to their councils after this.
My brother is the bravest young war
rior among all the PimasP'
and my sister is the bravest girlr
declared Eagle Heart, generously.
You faced the danger with me.
Bright Eyes, and are entitled to as
much credit as I am. But, come! Let
US drag the dead monster to the door
Of the house and call father and Sing
ing Bird to come out and look"
This suggestion they started imme-
diately to carry out Each caught one
Of the dead creatures horns and they
had begun to drag It across the open
space when a white man came sud
denly through the door Of the house.

when within a stones throw Of their
home, and so suddenly that Bright
Eyes screamed and Eagle Heart gave
an involuntary gasp. In the terror Of
the moment they both started to run,
but the sterner stuff Of which the boy
was made caused him to halt his fly
Ing feet before he had gone far and
face about. clutching his bow firmly
with one hand while he reached for
an arrow with the other. Bright Eyes
came to n stop a few PAGES further on
and turned and watched her brother
fearfully.
"Be careful, Eagle Hearth she
called, warningly. THE monster may
charge on us. Don't go too near!"
"Sh-h-h-h~ returned her brother,
Cant you see that the monster is
leaning against the tree? 1t must be
asleep. Don't make any noise and I'll
kill It before it wakes up. Then wen
drag it into the house and show it to
father and Singing Bird They'll both
be proud Of me and all the tribe will
think I'm a mighty warrior"
Then, while Eagle Heart fitted an
arrow to his bowstring, his sister
watched him in the greatest excite
ment. The lad was a splendid marks
man, and his steady nerves at that
critical moment proved that he had
not been misnamed, and had a heart
of the same dauntless nature as the
eagles.

The bed was made in the following
way: A portion of a tree trunk about
four feet in length was sunken about
eighteen inches in the ground, and on
it was placed a butter tub. This was
nailed to the tree trunk. The outside
of the tub may either be painted
green or covered with rustic branches
and pieces Of bark to conceal it's orr
gin. Next branches Of an old tree
were cut into lengths of five feet, and
were pointed at one end and driven
firmly about eighteen inches into the
soil. The bark was left on these
branches to give them q rustic effect,
but of course any wood can be used
instead of tree branches Inside the
ring thus formed good soil was filed
in and strips of turf inserted in the
Jennings Of the logs to prevent the
earth from falling through. Half logs
and small branches outlined the outer
edge Of the bed in order to keep the
soil in its place, the earth having been
filled in to form a sloping border for
low-growing plants and shrubs. In
the centre tub, nasturtium plants,
which are hardy and handsome, with
lYy-leaved geraniums planted near the
edge and allowed to hang down the
sides and mingle with the ivy, were
arranged, and the effect was most at
