II spoke to one of the workmen about
the performance, and he assured me
that not once in hundred times is a

freedom from accident is of course due
to the exceeding carefulness of the

Habits of tho wildcat.

To say that dog can whip his
weight in wild cats" is to pay about
the highest tribute to his strength,
courage and activity. and there are
very few dogs that would care to earn
such tribute II they understood all
1t implied. Not that a wildcat is of
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-
haps, as dangerous as any creature OF

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 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

the thought which had actuated him at
the start required. At once, he was
all alertness. He reversed his engine

F'lagg's engine and the freight were

1t was then that Flagg gently applied
the brakes and brought the two en-.

touched, and at once bore down on the
brakes, presently reversing his engine.
The long freight rebelled. The long
string of cars shook and tangled at
their couplings as they felt the re.

And | often used to smile.
More in sympathy than guile,
But | never said 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 Saviour FOR a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's song l do not sing,

Of the miracles of old;
But | know that her belief

That will keep her to the end.

On the washboard in the tub.
While the baby sopped in suds.

Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spools;

Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs,
