PooI-SeIIinq Defeated.

The attempt to repeal the anti-pool-
selling law of 1894 and compel the
lease of the Minnesota state fair
grounds to an association having the
purpose of establishing running meets
with the pool-selling feature, failed
utterly. When the bill was reported
to the house recently it was recon-
mended for indefinite postponement.
This recommendation was accepted bv
the house without a dissenting voice.
There was such general objection to
the bill that it was not even brought
to vote

Save the peach pits and plant them.
Apples do not sweat; the skin has
no pores in it.
No room in this day and generation
for a scrub orchardist any more than
for any other kind of scrub.
There is plenty of fruit in many cell
lars at this season. Do you know your
fruit will keep better if the warm air
is shut out during the day, and cellar
is kept open on cool nights?
1t is just so much money thrown
away to set out an apple tree where
the ground is continually wet. Apple
trees cannot go with wet feet and
not catch their death of cold.
To propagate the ounce, make cut
tings of this years growth of wood.
heel them in and protect with mulch
this winter and plant in the spring.
This fruit may also be propagated by
budding, using Anglers roots.
A distinguished fruit grower was
once asked al a farmers institute
what was the best crop to raise in an
apple orchard. His wise reply was:
Apples Anything that Injuries or
makes the fruit crop subsidiary should
be kept out.-Farm Journal.

sought to forbid steam railway travel,
because it would induce delirium fu-
riosum among the passengers and drive

man had ever been married to q Sioux
princess. and it was necessary to get
the consent of the *entire tribe,
through the chiefs. And SO a grand
council was called to consider the mat
ter. Red Cloud had become very much
attached to Jordan in the years that
the two had been known to each other,
and he used his powerful influence in
favor of his white friend so success
fully that the consent of the tribe was
given, with certain prOyisos. Wee
Washte must never learn one word of
English; Sioux must be spoken in her
household and in that of her children
forever; the children were to be per-
mitted to speak English while away
from the house, but the moment one en-
tered the home English must cease. And
although Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan have
been married 25 years or so, Wee
sWashte knows no language but her ma
tive one. Her'children are well edu-
Gated, but they speak Sioux in their own
home.
Some weeks ago Will Jordan, on
p. M W - Eel AM# $50 RH
reaching his eighteenth birthday, was
given the name OF Red Cloud" after
his uncle. ct is customary for an in
dian to take a new name when about
is years old. The accompanying pho
tograph of him was made at that time.
He is wearing a '.scalp coat" of the
Sioux. given him by old Chief Spotted
Tail, whose enemies scalps fringe the
sleeves and edges of the buckskin coat.
All the scalps were taken from the
heads of Crow Indians with whom the
Sioux were at war for hundreds of
years. The exact number of scalps
used in making the fringe cannot be
discovered, but o less than 100 were
necessary, while perhaps $50 were
used. Years ago these scalp coats
were common, but to-day very few are
known to exist.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a neverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir-"The young girl who
used the Peruna was suffering from
Mryngifis andIoss of voice. The result
of the treatment was most s~afisfaC-
tory. She found great relief, and
after further use of the medicine we
hope to be able to say she is entirely
CHred."-Sisfers of Charity.
The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good
results as the above letter testiies.

tongued and grooved. The end pieces
are mortised into the sides. All joints
are made very tight by use of white
lead. The cover is lined with a strip
of cloth, and is made to fit very closely.
This box has been used for the double
purpose of fumigating peas to kill
weevils. and of dipping sheep to kill
ticks. The bisulphide may be poured
directly on seed peas at the rate of one
pound to 100 bushels; or a saucer may be
placed on the grain and the bisulphide
poured in it. Other grain, infested
by insects, may be ~fumigated in a SIM

gate grain &: once after harvest, than
to wait several weeks, but better yet to
fumigate in fall, midwinter and spring.

Breed Up by Selection.

One of the worst features Of the poul-
try business, says the Maine Farmer,
has been the craze for something new,
leading breeders into a realm of discon-
tent where they are all the time attempt
ing something new. One of the worst
mistakes is that Of crossing pure breeds,
because these breeds, as a rule, have
been built up through patience and en-
ergy for a particular line of work, and
crosses are sure to injure. rather than
help. In fact. the meanest mongrels to
be found are those which are the result
of crossing two of our best breeds. Bet
ter by far select the breed you like the
best and then stick to it. improving 1t,
wedding out the inferior birds and
breeding always from the best, and Sc
Letting the males from birds that have
descended from great producers. In
this way we build up.

A TREES ON FARMS.
The Comfort They Give to Man and
Beast Alone Pays for the Trouble
of Planting Them.

Most farmers pay little attention to
shade trees. speak especially of small
farmers. Some seem to take even a saw
age delight in cutting down every tree
within reach. If they are to build q
home in the woods, the first movement
is to clear away every kind of growth
until they have a bare spot of ground
which they afterwards plant with stunt
ed cedars or cottonwoods, as il anything
could take the place of the grand oaks
and other forest trees so ruthlessly
chopped away. | wonder if these van
dals ever stop TO think what it takes to
produce a great, spreading oak. or other
native tree. l suspect not A strong
man with an AK may destroy, in an hour,
what 1t has taken centuries to produce.
It makes IL sick at heart to witness
the ruin that these wretches have
wrought. Every farm house should be
surrounded by beautiful trees and none
are more beautiful than native oaks
with their large, spreading branches.
OF course the shade should not be too
dense, so as to produce dampness.
There should be some opening for
glimpses of sunlight now and then. Nor
should the trees touch the house, or
overhang it. There should also be
enough light and sunshine to noUrish
a rich carpet of grass. Every field
should have at least II good shade
tree, and pasture fields should have sew
pr3l 81 that tho ctnnl- NOV find chnltar
without molesting one another. Shade
is grateful to both mar and beast. What
is refreshing to toilers in the har-
vest field than a short breathing spell
in the shade of some thickly branched
tree? If the farmer is bent upon econ
omy, let him plant fruit trees for shade.
A large apple tree with a heavy top
makes a very fine shade, Cattle will keep
the bending twigs trimmed off evenly
and help to thicker UP the canopy that
protects them. A good, large apple tree
makes a very satisfactory shade without
This point may be considered. if one
insists on economy. The fruit of the
apple tree may also be marked up in
its favor. There is no reason why it
should not be a considerable item. The
pleasure of getting fruit fresh from the
tree will also count for much to the tired
laborer. The culture Of a family is ex-
hibited in the shade trees and other ex-
ternal characteristics OF their home as
much as in their speech and the clothes
they wear. These are what make the
old country homes so impressive. No
matter how elegant in itself, no house
can ever seem like a true home while
standing in a bare field exposed to the
broiling sun and pelting storms.-T. G..
Harms, in Epitomist.

MANNERS ON THE ROAD.
Simple tourtesies Which Should Be
Remembered and W htch should
Be Duly Recognized.

When driving on the road without a
load l give the better track to a loaded
team, to a team driven by a woman or
a boy, to a f~rail-looking vehicle, load
ed or u~Dloaded. When driving slowly
and one up at a smart gait be-
hind, l pull aside and let him pass.
But for these facts l give myself no
credit. They seem to me to be moth
ing more than acts of courtesy which
each man owes to his neighbor.
Blu does the other fellow owe moth
ing? Have we not a right to EXPECT a
word, a look, a nod which shall indi-
cate that he appreciates what he has
received? Once | was returning from
town empty and met some heavily
loaded emigrant wagons. AS | pulled
TO n side, at some little %inconven-
fence to leave them all the smooth
track, n of the drivers exclaimed in
a good. hearty tone, You are the first
gentleman we have met to-day" Now.
that little bit of exaggeration. which
cost this stranger nothing, gave me.
at least, q warmer feeling for my
brother men than | had had before.
But how often have | found it other
wise. Once | met some ome driv-
ing a sleigh where only a single track
was broken through the deep snow.
They started to turn out, but | mo-
toned to them to keep in the track
and turned to the left myself, knowing
that my strong sled would be safe
among the loose stones which line the
road there. These women only giggled.
And often on these mountain roads.
where it is not always easy for one
team to pass another, when I have
pulled to n side. that a smart trap
might pass my slow moving lumber
wagon, the occupants have not even
looked my way.
Let us all have manner on the
road.-N. Y. Tribune.

Wild Beasts on the Sea.

A French scientist has made some
interesting observations as to the love
of different wild animals for the sea.
The polar bear, he says, is the only
one that takes to the sea, and is quite
jolly when aboard ship. All others
violently resent a trip on water, and
vociferously give VEN to their feelings
until seasickness brings silence. The
tiger suffers most of all. The mere
sight of a ship makes him uncom-
Portable, and when on board he whines
pitif,llly. his eyes water continually,
and he rubs his stomach with his ter
rible paws. Horses are very bad sail
ors, and often perish on a sea voyage
Oxen are heroic in their attempts not
to give way to sickness. Elephants
do not like the sea, but they are
amenable to medical treatment. A
good remedy is q bucketful of hot
water containing three and a half
pints of whisky and seven ounces of
Quinine.

halfbreed-descended on his Indian
mothers side from the "bluest" blood
among the redskinS-from no less a per-
sonage than Maqpe-Luta, Red Cloud,
the most famous Indian chief of west
ern history. And on his white fathers
side the young man can trace his de-
scent back to that of John DeCoursey,
lord of Galinger, who carried the stan
dard Of the English and Irish hosts in
one of the Crusades, and who. in that
battle on the banks of the Jordan river
between the Christians and Saracens,
was given the name Jordan" by the
English king because of his gallant
conduct and prOWess. The ruins of
Castle Jordan are still to be seen in
County Meath, Ireland.
The Jordan family, or at least a part
Of the family, came to the United
States 200 years ago, and the father of
young Will. Col. Charles Jordan, drift
ed out on to the great plains many
years ago, during the great Indian
wars.
Col. Jordan's marriage to IN Indian
princess, from which marriage Will
Jordan was born, is one of the ro-
mances of the west.
After reaching the plains, Col. Jor-
dan became a government Indian scout,
and in this manner became we'll ac-
quainted with Chief Red Cloud. Later
he met Red Clouds niece, Wee-Washte
pretty Crib and fell in love with her.
Jordan talked Sioux like a native and
the courtship vas carried on in that
tongue.
But, says the Brooklyn Eagle, when
the consent of the old chief to the
marriage was asked an almost insur-
mountable difficulty arose. No white
