SEEING CIVILIZATION.
Indian Chief Finds Much to Astonish
Him in Winnipeg.

Indian Chief Finds Much to Astonish
Him in Winnipeg
Two pioneers from the verge of
civilization are in Winnipeg, in the
persons Of Rev. John MacDougall, Of
Norway House, and Chief Ross, Of
Gross Lake Chief Ross is seeing
civilization for the first time.
The chief, says the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Telegram, is a man OF
about so years Of age and is almost
full-blooded Indian His home is at
Cross Lake, which is 500 miles
north Of Winnipeg and two-thirds
Of the way to York Factory, on Hud-
sons bay. He is a particular friend
of Rev. Mr.. McDougall, who taught
school and first met him at Norway
House in 1860.
Chief Ross speaks no English He
has quiet bearing born of long years
spent in the wilderness and solitude
Of the far north. He seldom met
a white man, and this was the first
glimpse of the outer world he ever
got except, perhaps, in the settle
ments at Norway House, 1T. Church
i'll or other remote trading posts He
was greatly interested in everything
he saw and looked with amazement
at the elevator in the hotel where
he is staying, at the electric cars and
other things, marvels Of city life.
His great charm, however, was the
shop windows, and Mr.. McDougall
could hardly GEAR him away from
some Of the stores. He looked in the
clothing establishments with as much
interest as he looked in the jewelry
stores. They were all wonderful and
extraordinary to him. The gaudy
colored delivery rigs also attracted
his attention, and he was always en-
crossed in watching them 60 by.
Such prosaic objects as payements,
hydrants and telegraph poles re-
ceiyed an equal share Of his atten-
ton, and although he examined all
closely, he asked no questions, adj
hitting by his silence that it was all
incomprehensible to him.
Small parties Of people passing up
and down the street also attracted
his attention, and he gazed after
them with wonder in his eyes, as
though he were curious to know
where they all came from and where
they were going. A piano startled
| him in the hotel, but after it had
been played awhile he liked 1t and
wanted more. ~. a>.le. 4

their Linguistic Aptitude and Musical
Development and Manners.

Their Linguistic Aptitude and Musical
Development and Manners
The Alaskan Eskimos are highly
intelligent, industrious, moral and
honest, according to their standards
in such matters, which differ some
what from our own They are strict
ly truthful, Of kindly, cheerful dis
position, and exceedingly gentle, pa
tent and tactful in their manners.
In illustration of then intelligence,
saws The Era, it was interesting to
note that while their language en-
/ braced but a few hundred words as
against our overwhelming vocabu-
llary, they and not we made all the
advance, eyincing the keenest inter-
est in the acquisition Of the white
mans tongue. In voicing their pro-
fciency in this direction it was not
uncommon for some Of the more sem
sitive among us to be shocked upon
being saluted by some precocious
maiden with a string Of oaths,
strangely intoned, culled for our edi-
fcation from the explosive speech
in general use among the representa-
tives of a higher moral development.
The natives soon learn such tunes
and songs as were whistled or sung
in their hearing. These they repro
duce with considerable accuracy,
words and all. The words we're, how
ever, generally sounds phonetically
similar to those heard, and were
sometimes, in fact, quite amusing.
This sudden musical development
seemed remarkable, considering that
their natural attempts include only
monotonous dronings, accompanied
sometimes by an unmeasured inane
drumming on a sort Of tambourine.
There are many artists among them,
whose carvings and etchings on w.
DRY are of high excellence.
There is a marked ability in the
adaptabilityto Caucasian customs be-
tween the men and women Of this
race. The men are much keener in
anticipating what is likely to meet
with white favor, and lose no time
in at least concealing habits and in
clinations that are seen to be obiec-
tionable, while the women make but
little progress in this direction The
contrast is best shown at the white
mans table, one or two meals suf-
ficing to prevent any painful exhibit
tions from the men, whereas with
the women no improvement is to be
observed. With either sex, at such
times, the unselfsh solicitude for
their absent friends is sure to evince
itself in their setting aside the
choicest morsels Of food to be taken
to them, never failing, however, to
ask leave to do so.

thing is selecting breeding stock
and the time to do this is in No
vember or Decem Der, and the
kind to select is large bone, long
body. deep breast, with plenty
of bronze throughout, edging OF
feathers as clear and white as
possible, also wing barring as
distinct white and black as can
be obtained, this is hard to do,
but by care and strict attention
to plumage # can be done, but
sometimes at sacrifice of size,
which l prefer first, yet the
largest, finest, heaviest weight
birds I ever owned we're beauti-
fully marked with perfect
sheen of FURNISHED gold with
pure white tippings and barring
never want to breed from
stilty, clumsy bird of either sex,
they rarely give satisfaction as
breeders, hens do not lay enough
eggs, and are usually. infertile,
while the toms are awkward and
unproductive.
What want for a breedersis
we'll shaped, up headed fellow,
don't care to have them fat, un-
less for a show bird, and often
times l think we damage them as
breeders by getting them too
fat, yet to please a customer they
must weigh heavy when receiv-
ed.
1 bave never bred from tom
that at Is months of age weighed
less than As pounds in show
flesh, but do not want them 81
heavy during breeding season.
How do you prepare your birds
for the show -oom? is a question
asked me many times. l viii
answer here for the benefit OF
the readers from various states.
1 feed them all the table scraps
they want twice day, morning
and evening, then at noon l feed
wheat and corn, giving plenty OF
clean, fresh water or milk, al
ways seeing that they have grit
or gravel for a digester. 1 occas-
sionally give little cayenne pep
perfor an appetizer, prepare
low roosting place to prevent
them from jumping off of a high
place and bruising their feet,
thereby producing burions,
which sometimes twill rise and
cripple the bird.
Just before exhibition coops
are needed 1 take a soft brush
and some CASTLE soap and warm
water, wash their feet, face and
wattles off well, then rub them
briskly with vaseline or sweet
oil, they are now ready for judg
ing and I'm always sure of sue
cess, have never entered the
show room, after this prepare
ton, unless they carried off the
the trophies. I'm very proud,
indeed, of my Success, and the
of my customers, in the
show room, am always proud to
know that they think enough of
them to exhibit them, for 1 make
it my custom to never sell a cLll
at any price.
Hoping this may benefit some
one, am very sincerely,

What Two Girls Can Do.

have an occasional opportunity
to suggest things, which l think
might help few, at least
The fancy side of Poultry is
out of my sphere, and 1 would
rather listen than make the noise,
but there are profitable practical
things in connection with full
blooded poultry, that seem to be
overlooked.
During the Matching season
fanciers big and little can and do
dispose of their surplus eggs for
Matching purposes by letting
people know what they have to
sell, but the real Matching season
does not last only few months.
Seeing, every day, the novel
success two girls are making in
my town, buying and shipping
eggs, suggests topic to write
about, or rather will tell you
what these girls are doing, q
have their permission for the
reason that l encourage the un-
dertaking, they have sort of a
fatherly respect for me.
These girls were too ambitious
and too sensible to kill time at
Dads expense. One day they
called my attention to a grocery
man packing eggs, we took in the
sight without his detecting our.
curiosity. Old weather beaten
cases, besmeared cardboard fill
ers, eggs of all colors, sizes and
shapes, dirty eggs, clean eggs
and eggs with feathers sticking
to them. They came to my
office next day and they unloaded
their plan for my criticisms.
Their plan was ibis:
They would rent a room and
go to buying eggs paying the
cash, etc, and hoped that the
farmers would appreciate the
cash enough to induce them to
bring their eggs to them instead
of to the stores, and it worked.
The farmers took to the idea in
no time and the grocery stores
are now compelled to get eggs
for their town customers from
these two girls. Not an egg
goes TO the stores from the farm
ers. Just another proof that the
people like to help those who try |
to help themselves. We find no
dirty filthy cases or filters
around this egg establishment. |
Every egg is washed and wiped |
dry. They are assorted into
four varieties, the white shelled |
ones, the deep brown and light
brown and a general Gull grade ,
which catches the runts Of the
other three grades. The runt
grade catches the doubtfuls in
Gambling, they have a market for |
the culls at market price, because
they are, on account OF being !
clean, preferable to mixed lot
of dirty eggs. They have a
fancy market for the perfect
eggs in handsome looms, |
holding one dozen each, and a |
market for them in clean new
cases. The three perfect lots
are stamped with a rubber
stamp.
They buy all the eggs that
come to this town aud two other
towns.
yesterday they called my at
tention to a case of eggs that a
farmer brought in, they were all
one color and needed but little
washing. That's the kind
everybody should have" says
they, 1--WE can easily pay that
man a cent more than we can for
eggs that we have to scrub and
sort" To-day they showed me
letter from a groceryman at a
Western resort. 1t stated that
they wanted two cases each day
instead of one, and they volun-
tarily raised the price to en-
courage the girls to make an ex-
ira effort. Nice clean eggs in
handsome little cartoons did it.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The Jap

when asked as to the attitude of the Jap
anese Government in regard to the Mid
way islands and Wake island of which
8, much has been written lately, that the
Japanese had no intention to claim SOW
ereignty over the islands, and that when
the United States Government made Ger
tain representation in relation to the Mid
1yay islands in January, 1901, the Japanese
Government at once declared to the same
effect. Mr.. Takahira further said that II
the United States Government should
send a war vessel to the islands, as re-
ported in the newspapers, Japan would
expect only that due protection should De
given to Japanese SUBJECTS who may be
found there as .ong as they are engaged
in neaceful occupations. Aside from the
foregoing statement by the japanese MIN
lister. il can be added from authoritative
Government sources that the most satis-
factory feeling exists between the Ameri-
cans and Japanese officials as to the good
faith of each and the harmonious ADJUST
ment of the question relating to Marcus
Island.

COLORED LABORER BESTS
NAVAL STATION EXPERTS

Mad dogs are afraid of water. This
depot in Honolulu are not afraid of wa
ter, but strange to say, any ordinary
man is afraid 10 mention water to them
at least artesian water. This is al
most a truism. And how it all came
about is a joke the like of which the
waterfront of Honolulu has never heard
before. Tt all came about simply by
colored man, a laborer, figuring out a
problem in less than one minute that
the experts of the navy department in
Honolulu had been figuring on for the
past two months.
And this is the story as it goes. Two
months ago the usual large supply of
water that the naval station gets from
its fine artesian well gave out suddenly
one day and only about a fourth of
the previous daily supply became avail
able. Every man on the station set to
work to find out the reason. The ex-
perts made many Investigations. Blue
print plans and drawings were got out,
figured on, and shown to many water
experts But no reason could be found
for the supply giving out. When the
transport Buford came along she want
ed to fill her tanks in a hurry. The
hose was brought over from the navy
ward The water refused to run, and
as a result fire engine had to be se1
cured to pump the water into the Blu
ford's tanks from the hose connecting

that they had but twelve pounds pres
sure from the well.
They decided to make an examination
of the top of the artesian well. They
wished to examine the valve controlling
the output from the main pipe.
An officer told a laborer to wipe off
the dirt before he made his examina-
ton. The laborer wiped off the dirt,
and said:
'sWhy, this thing is only turned on to
about one-fourth of it's capacity"
Every officer had cold feet A sickly
smile played about the faces Of the ex-
perts. They went way back in their Of
fees and seated themselves in their
cosy chairs.
The navy artesian well Is in as good
shape as it ever was, but the naval
officers have given strict orders to the
men employed about the station to keep
out anyone who has even a distant con-
nection with water.
