TNCLE SANS wards may be
tempted to shake off the agency
~ blanket to adopt the neat attire
of the government school at Carlisle,
Pa, by the promise of an education,
but there is to be no glitter and glamor
of fame gained in football toys. The
commandant at the Indian school is
said to. be SO opposed to gridiron and
other strenuous athletic sports that
there is little probability Of Carlisle
having its customary strong eleven
this fall.
Indians who complete the school
course may drift back to their respec-
tive tribes, become indolent, careless
and even Indifferent to educational adj
vantages, but it will not be said of a
Redwater, MetoXen, a Standing
Bear, etc, that football was the cause
of his retrogression to his primal state.
If the authorities at Carlisle carry out
their intention to refrain from sched-
uling contests with Harvard, Yale,
Pennsy-all the prominent colleges
and universities of the east-the red
men who go to that school will suffer
hard blow. 1t is the opinion of count
less numbers of the big eastern uni
versities that the heydey of athletics
at the Indian school brought great adj
vantages to the redmen of the athletic
squad that years of life spent on the
reservation could not afford. The pol
ish gained by the Indian who Travelled
with the Carlisle Indian football team,
put up at good hotels and fraternized
with the college boys, will be lost.
Doubtless in the past the incentive
gained by Indians of that school to
pursue higher ideals and get into the
business world, came originally from
association with college men. At it's
best Carlisle ranks no higher than a
high school in its educational merit,
and to remove the football team will
be to take away from some of the In
dams opportunities for mental broad
ening that the school otherwise will
not give them.
Carlisle has had some great teams

Pierces made their appearance in the
indoor football contests at New Years
in New York, but have retired to pri-
vate life again. Metoxen, with his

vogue. The latest craze among
- skaters all over the country is
the tandem formation" and the parks
in the cities and river surfaces in the
country are merry sights with these
groups of skaters their Tam o. Shan

and their white mittens, lacking from
side to side as they glide along. The
old style of forming into line-com-

have become obsolete. And what a

self unpopular with his colleagues by
procuring from the encouragement
an opinion that it is illegal to accept
passes from Pullman car managers.
The opinion will be generally obeyed,
as is the law prohibiting passes to be
given out by the railroad companies.
But in the old time this would have
seemed a trifie.
The Black-Horse cavalry was near
railroad accident some Is years ago at
Spuyten Duyvil, in the northern end
of New York city. A south-bound
train was loaded with ''loaded" legis-
lators on the way home to New York
from Albany, who were making the
trip a pandemonium. Every man had
in his pocket road pass, and one for
the Wagner palace cars then used by
the New York Central. One legislator,
who died for it a moment later, pulled
the signal bell-rope and stopped the
train in a rocky cut so curved that the
engineer of the following train could
not see the danger. More than 20 died
for his folly. Among them Senator
Wagner himself, president Of the pal
ace car company, was burned to death
in his own car.
The gain in public decency is not as
great as it seems. Private members
90 not grow rich, as once they might,
in single session; there is less riot
ing about Albany by men crazed by
the sudden enrichment of brides. But
it isn't altogether because of growing
virtue. Partly the change is due to the
perfection of party machinery. 1t is
not necessary now to deal with the
member. He must vote as he is or
dered, unless his district is an excep-
tional one, or lose a denomination.
The lobbyist deals with the "boss' in

currency, seeking an adjustment which
will give gold its proper place as
standard of value and fix the relation
of silver to gold at reasonable ratio,
and with silver at such low valuation
in the markets of the world, it would
seem that the most ardent friend of
the white metal would perceive the in
evitable and act accordingly. But Bry-
anism is hard to eradicate from certain
minds, and its latest outcropping shows
what a strong hold it still has upon
large and influential element of the
democratic party, Notwithstanding the
unchallengeabl verdict given against
it by the American people in the two
most recent and very strenuous presi-
Dental campaigns.
The argument put forth by these
obstructive democratic senator's and
which has been heard with nauseating
iteration and reiteration of late years
that to deny free coinage to silver at
the 16 to l ratio is gross discrimina-
ton against the white metal-has no
foundation in fact. The Americanpeo-
pie have never Disseminated against
silver. 1t is one of the great and valu-
able products-though very far from
being the most yaluable-of the coun-
try and the popular judgment has
been on the side of fair treatment. In
reality the discrimination has been
rather for it than against it, as the
enormous number of silver dollars now
in existence demonstrate. Much of the
national legislation relating to silver
has gone to the utmost limit of safety
in recognizing" that metal. But con-
gress and the people could not be in
duced to favor anything so disastrous
as would have been the opening of the
minis for the unrestricted coinage of
"dollars" that where worth less than
SO cents.

A Word For the Horse.

There is little room for doubling that
the horses of many private individuals
would last far longer than they do II
more consideration were paid to their
comfort; and perhaps q little personal
supervision of the stable arrangements
on the part of the owner might insure
q still longer life for his horse. In the
first place. there is a perhaps natural
disposition on the part of some SER
wants to neglect attending to the COM
fort of their charges when they them
selves are tired. Yet it is just as essen
tial, in fact even more so, for a jaded
horse to be made comfortable If he
happens to get home late at night. as
there Is If he returns to his stable in
the daytime. In order to enjoy his
rest as he deserves, he should be prop
erly wisped over and dried. The mud
should be sponged from his hook, his
ears comfortably pulled and his legs
properly bandaged. and after he Is
cooled, if he came in heated, his night
clothing should be put on, and after
he has fed he will enjoy shis nights
rest and. benefit by it-Indianapolis

aunts Of Charles James Fox. one of
whom was alive ITO years after the
birth of the other. Sir Stephen Fox.

have attended Charles I. OH the scaf-
fold, married in 1854. and had in the
following year a daughter, who died
in infancy. At the age Of seventy.siX
he married a second wife, and had
four children, Of whom one was later
created Lord Holland. He eloped with
daughter of the Duke of Richmond,
and was the father Of Charles James
Fox. A sister of his wife was that
Lady Sarah Lennox whom the young
George III. is supposed to have
thought Of marrying. She died, the
mother Of the heroic Napiers. in 1926.

AGRICULTURAL
Destroying Weeds.

Many farmers do not feed turnips
because sometimes the stock will not
partake of them when they can get
better material. Something depends
upon the manner in which the turnips
are fed. No animal cares for hard,
woody or frozen turnlp, nor should the
roots be fed without some preparation.
The better method Is to steam them
and add ground grain. but the majority
Of farmers object to the labor of such
proceeding. A root-slicer. however,
may be used by which the turpips may
be sliced. They should then be GOV.
cred with water over night, sprinkled
with meal and salt the next morning
and fed. They are, of course, not as
valuable as hay, corn fodder or grain,
but they serve an excellent dietary
purpose, increasing the appetite and
assisting to keep the animals in good
condition.

fifty years may be necessary to bring 1t
to maturity. The botanical name Of
the plant is Agave Americana varie-
gata, and was given to it because Of Its
splendid appearance. The agave is a
native of Northern Mexico, where It Is
named the maguey, and furnishes
pulque, the national drink of Mexico.
In Golden Gate Park. San Francisco,
the sandy soil is specially favorable to
the agave, of which there are about
twenty species in various stages Of ex-
istence. When the plant begins to
bloom 1t throws up single stalk. from
which the tassel-like flowers sprout
forth on either side. The great flower
stalk draws all the sap and vigor from
the broad leaves Of the plant, which,
after 1t has reached its perfection,
droops and dies. But at the base Of the
feshy. glossy, dark-green leaves are
found little suckers, each with root,
which. when planted, at once begins
to grow. Though century plant in
flower is not very uncommon sight
in California, 1t Is sufficiently so to at.
tract considerable attention, while to
most Europeans it is very rare and
wonderful occurrence. The accompa-
nying photograph was taken by

and was sent by Mr.. Arthur Inkersley,
of the same city.-Scientific American.

Most of US understand that in order
to get the best results from crop
we must start right, yet the tendency
Is to get the seed into the soil rs quick
ly as possible in the spring and take
chances on the result. In view Of the
fact that we are wholly dependent up
on weather conditions as to results. we
are unjust to ourselves If we leave
undone anything that will enablt US
to cope with abnormal conditions.
This Ia precisely the state we are In
when We fail to properly prepare the
seed bed. Summer drouths being the
thing most to be feared. the proper
preparation of the seed bed means put
ting 1t In the condition where it will
be best able to overcome drouths: the
moisture is conserved by the prepara-
tion of the seed bed. If. in addition
to this work, there has been put into
the soil by the use Of cover crops OF
green manuring of any kind an amount
of humus sufficient to keep the soil
porous and during the growth OF the
crop 4 surface cultivation IS main
tanned, which also assists in conserv-
ing the moisture in the soil, there IS
every chance in favor of a crop that
will be satisfactory even under condi-
tions of more or less pronounced
droughts. If this is contrary to gen.
eral practice it will cost but little to
demonstrate its correctness In q small

ularly every day.
About the ninth day I test the eggs,
I take a piece Of cardboard seven by
eight inches and make a funnel Of 1t.
Next take the eggs from under the
hen, carefully lay them in pan OF
basket and take them to the light.
Hold up each egg between the sun and
your funnel and examine it. If fertile,
you can see the air cell plainly, and the
egg will look dark. while an infertlle
one is perfectly clear and should not
be put back in the nest. The infertile
eggs can be boiled and fed to chicks.
On the nineteenth day put the eggs
in water as warm as the hand can COM
fortably bear. This softens the shell,
thus making 1t easier for the chick to
pick its way out. As fast as the chicks
are hatched, take them from the hen,
wrap them in flannel in a basket. and
keep them in warm place until all
are hatched. Then feed the hen we'll
and give her the chicks.-Cecilla Steel,
