The American Indian.

An article by Charles Hallock, on the
American Indigenes. has been printed
in the American Antiquarian, but some
misapprehension has been created as
to his conclusions; in order to correct
any errors, the following syllabus Of
his article has been printed:
The Indians, or Indigenes, of both
North and South America, originated
from a civilization of high degree
which occupied the subequatorial belt
some 10000 years ago, while the gla.
cial sheet was still on. Population
spread northward as the ice receded.
Routes of exodus diverging from the
central point of departure are plainly
marked by ruins and 1ithic records.
The subsequent settlements in Arizona,
Mexico, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah
and California indicate the successive
stages of advance, as well as the per.
sistent struggle to maintain the ancient
civilization against reversion and the
catastrophes of nature.-New York
News.

In spite of the precious jewel which
1t wears in its head, the toad has few
friends, although one which Professor
Bell kept as Il pet would sit on one of
his hands while it fed out of the other.
No doubt it is an ugly creature, but it
cannot help that Why, then, should it
also posses Il temper? A toad in Il
passion is really and truly very angry
indeed. One was once caught in a
snare that had been laid for birds. The
moment 1t found itself a prisoner, its
rage knew no bounds. 1t struggled
furiously, and snapped at everything
within Its reach. Nor does it spare its
brother toad but often goes for it on

Habits of the Wild-Cat.

To say that dog can whip his
weight in wild cats" is to pay about
the highest tribute 10 his strength,
courage and activity. and there are
very few dogs that would care to earn
such tribute IL they understood all
1t implied. Not that wildcat is of
a specially aggressive disposition; on
the contrary he would sooner mind his
own business any time than fight. So
anxious is he, as Il rule, TO keep out of
trouble that he has often been ac-
cused of cowardice, but he has on so
many occasions given evidence of the
most desperate courage that it is
doubtful if the accusation is fair one.
When wounded or at bay he is, per-

Of the New York State Department of

in relation to industrial accidents,
picked flaws in the common law rules
as to employers liability. He said
that this Government is twenty years
behind England and seventy years
behind Germany in legislation on in
dustrial accidents. He urged that ev-
cry State have incorporated in every
contract for public works a provision
that all artisans and laborers employed
on public works should receive not
only medical care in case of injury,
but also weekly benefit during dis
ablement, and in the event of death
from such injury, an indemnity to the
family of an amount equivalent to al

The Education of the Parrot.

To teach parrot to talk it is never
necessary to place the poor bird in Il
darkened room or to starve him. Com
mon sense would suggest that he
should be made as happy rs possible
in his surroundings. Give him good
food-hemp. maize, oats, biscuit AS a
slice of fruit is always beneficial. bit
of apple, of pear, of banana, or of car
rot will do very well. Also see that
your pet has pure drinking water a
large cage, some soft wood TO gnaw
with plenty of coarse grit on the floor
of the cage, for he needs the small
stones TO aid his digestion A parrot in
these comfortable circumstances may
then be left alone in room while his
teacher conceals himself in another.
The teacher, who should be heard but
not seen, should repeat with infipite
patience. over and over again, the
word or word he wishes his pet to
learn. The female parrots do not talk
the female of the song birds, it should
be remembered is not singer-so that
efforts of education in that line are
quite thrown away.-Our Animal
Friends.

The typical university President to-
day should be at once scholar but
no pedant, and man OF affairs but
no bald utilitarian, observes the New
York Independent. He should be n
disciplinarian but no martinez, and re.
sourceful in tact and diplomacy with
out being mere politician. He should
combine the humility Of the scholar
who realizes his ignorance with the
assured authority nf the natural leader
of men. AS much as any man in the
world, and more than most others, he
needs to embody within himself all
high, efficient and noble qualities of
mind and heart. If it be said that to
say these things is to paint an unat.
tainable ideal, the answer is that an
ideal is something which may not be
realized, but which at least is to be
sought and striven for at every oppor.
tuity and with all the energy at our
command.

wondered what he was there for; then
the thought which had actuated him at
| the start required. At once, he was
| all alertness. He reversed his engine
and put on the brakes, and though to
| MIN it seemed hours, it was a very few
| seconds before his engine was backing
| down the grade which he had Just
climbed, gaining speed with every rev.
| olution of the wheel.
The dot where the rails seemed to
meet had rapidly assumed the form
and proportions of an engine, and it
was not long before Flagg could hear
above the racket made by his own
| engine the sound of escaping steam
and the roar Of the rapidly approa ching
| runaway; it took very little magma
tion for him to feel the engines hot
breath.
This was the plan by which he meant
to catch the runaway. He had FASTENED
up the track TO meet ii. Then, as it
drew near, he had started TO run be-
fore it. gradually letting it gain on
him. Now he proposed to make the
engines come together, and then he
would match the power of his own
against the power of the other, thus
getting both under control.
ElaSg'S engine and the freight were
well matched, and as they tore through
Porter's Station. the lone engine was
Il short distance in front of the freight.
1t was then that Flagg gently applied
the brakes and brought the two en-
SineS together. He felt the jar as they
touched, and at once bore down on the
brakes, presently reversing his engine.
The long freight rebelled. The long
string of ears shook and tangled at
their couplings as they felt the re.
straininS hand of the engineer. AS
sisted by the sand which he had turned
on the rails, Flagg's heavy engine
grudgingly yielded every length of
rail. and finally, less than an eighth
| of Il mile from the Junction depot,
brought the runaway 10 standstill.
At 40 Flagg started north with his
regular train half an hour late. At
Ayricks' the agent tagged his train,
! and as it came to stop. a fcllow-engi-
neer joined the operator at the side
of the engine.
Flag No. ~ and tell Flagg that the

agent thrust into Flagg's hand.
Flagg read ii. and mechanically
stepped down from the cab, yielding
his place to MacArthurs. Somehow Il
strange weakness seemed TO come over
him as he touched the ground, and he
said something about the superintend.

In the suds and in the soap,

Sometimes happening along,

And | often used to smile.
More in sympathy than guile,
But | never said a word
In regard to what | heard,
As she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she.
As her children. three or four,
Played around her on the floor:
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long,
With 4 Saviour ior a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song | do not sing.

On the washboard in the tub.
While the baby sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the duds;
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spools:

Who would keep her to the end.
