However, feed has been furnished every

However, feed has been furnished every
year, and many have planted small
patches of corn and potatoes, but the
drought often destroyed their crops
before they matured. Great difficulty
has been experienced in inducing some
OF the Indians to properly care for
their gardens, as they plant the seed
and simply await results without Civ
ing it further attention. Their crops
in 1899 were failure with the excep-
ton of wild hay. The white farmers
on the reserve have constructed a num-
Der of small irriga alton bitches, which
will water approximately 900 acres.
With this irrigation land now in pos
session of the Indians, they should
begin to make material progress in
agriculture. The principal crops of
the white men were wheat, oats and
wild hay; they also raised a small
amount of barley, corn and alfalfa.
The live stock of the Indians consists
of Indian ponies and a few American
horses. When they come to realize the
relative value of range cattle and
ponies, and substitute the former for
the useless beasts they now possess,
they will have taken a step towards
self-support.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP

Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest

coughing spell would come on at night

is putting it very mildly. I had no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because had never
tried it for such purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack

The Vultures.

The question is mooted whether the
vulture knows of its quarry by sight or
smell. How does it communicate the
news of a feast to it's fellows? A tiger
had been killed.
Colonel Ramsay ordered the carcass
Of the skinned tiger to be dragged out
from under the thick mango trees into
the open. Taking out his watch. he
asked us to make n guess as to how
long the vultures would take to clean
the flesh off the bones. Some one said
half an hour. AS there was not a vul-
but Colonel Ramsay gave them ten
minutes, which proved to be correct.
There was one vulture at first seen
soaring round and round very high up
in the cloudless sky. He closed his
wings and dropped on to the carcass
with swoOp. In two minutes the sky
was full of vultures. all concentrating
from every side on the spot, and arriv-
ing with all the impetus their drop
from great height gave them as fast
as it takes to tell the story. Then
there commenced Il .frightful scene of
literal carnage. every one tearing with
sharp. hooked bill at the entrails first,
then at the flesh, all fighting for room
to get piece and tumbling over one
another with frantic haste.-"The For
ests of Upper India and Their Inhab-

The Northei n Cheyennes

Montana, which was once the famous
hunting ground and battlefield of many
Indian tribes, is now the quiet home of
many of those same tribes which are
slowly adopting the customs and occu-
pations of the white man. Here are
found the Piegan, Grow, Flathead,
Sioux, Assinaboin, Grosventre, North.
ern Cheyenne and few small bands
Of other tribes. They are collected on
six reservations, namely, Blackfeet,
Grow, Flathead, Fort Belknap, Fort
Peck and Northern Cheyenne. Many
interesting facts in regard to these
tribes are given in the biennial report
Of the state agricultural bureau.
Their principal occupations are ag-
riculture and stock raising; the latter
industry is receiving the greater atten-
ton at present, as all the reserves
have ample ranges fairly we'll W altered.
But little of their land is cultivable
without irrigation, and, as the Crows
alone have an adequate, scientific sys-
tenn, farming operations are very linn
tied among the other tribes, and pro-
gress in that industry is necessarily
very slow.
Following is what Commissioner
Ferguson, in his eighth report of the
bureau of agriculture and industry,
has to say concerning the Northern
Cheyennes:
Northern Cheyenne Reservation
Northern Cheyenne reservation, con-
tanning an area of 765 square miles, is
located in Rosebud county, in south
eastern Montana. Most of the land is
billy and broken, but we'll adapted to
grazing. Large areas of pine timber
form protection to stock in stormy
weather. Only the bottom lands of the
four small creeks running through the
reserve are suitable for agriculture.
Approximately 10000 acres would be
cultivable with sufficient irrigation.
but the water supply is very limited.
The Northern Cheyenne of Algonquin
stock inhabit this reservation, and
number in all LISA. Together with
the Piegan they are the most western
tribe of this stock in the United States.
AT the time the census was taken.
nearly all the available agricultural
land was in the hands of a few white
settlers, who had taken up claims
before the Cheyenne selected this tract
as their home. Consequently the In
dams have had little opportunity to
advance along agricultural lines.

WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly to the Hardened
Characters Confined I'm Lar
annie CWyo1 Jail.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in a prison is Mrs.
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming,
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy of all praise. She
is a regularly ordained minister of
the Gospel and might be settled over
a prosperous church, but she sees her
duty lies among the conyicts at Lara
mic and has chosen that as her field
of effort, reports the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to woman at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska, and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin e. Slosson, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming the prisoners of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work ON account Of the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment. Men deprived of
the saving grace of work, no matter
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into a peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea which
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for a
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting as the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July,
1899, she has filed the office not only
to the satisfaction Of the authorities,
but, what is more important, TO the
satisfaction of those who are the en-
forced members OF her congregation.
The prisoners number some 220 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from a spirit
of adventure and have got into trou-
bic either through drink or from get
ting the brand on the wrong cattle,'
as cattle stealing is euphoniously re-
ferred to by the men themselves.

large gray eagle, the first seen in
the vicinity of Somerville. N. j., in
many years, created CONSERVATION
among herd of cattle on the farm If
Charles Covert. near Mount Bethel.
The eagle flew from the mountains to
the lowlands where the cattle were
grazing. 1t took shelter in a tree, and
waiting an opportunity swooped down
on a calf of the herd. The mother Of
the calf and several cows surrounded
the eagle ard forced 1t from its prey.
The eagle attacked the COWS, and its
onslaught was so furious that the ami
mails were stampeded, but they rallied
again and circled frantically around
the calf, thrusting at the eagle vicious
ly with their horns each time it re-
newed its attack on the smaller anil
NAL
The eagle resorted to strategic meas
ures by driving the cows, one by one
across the field. At this juncture Cow
ert. who had been attracted by the
disturbance among the cattle. appeared
on the scene with gun. The eagle
alishted on rail fence to await deyel-

MAY ENLARGE GUN FACTORY.
United States Board of Naval Omcern
Makes Recommendation to
Congress.

Secretary Moody has made public
the report of the board of naval officers
appointed to consider the enlargement
of the naval gun factory at the Wash
ington navy yard The report will be
submitted to congress, and to that
body win be left the decision whether
the navy hall manufacture its own
guns exclusively or contract with pri-
vate firms for the smaller guns.
In It's report the board. which cen
sisted Of Capt William M. Folger.
Commander j. NJ. Boyer and Lieuten-
ant Commander F. f. Fletcher. asserts
that the productive capacity of the gun
factory, which is now WORKING double
time. is from 81 per cent. to 100 per
cent. short of the demands made upon
1t by the average yearly appropriation
of congress- The board recommends
the enlargement Of the plant to a de-
gree that will enable it to produce all
the guns of the main battery ana one

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The four greatest needs of Greece
grain, coal, iron and lumber-are the
ones which the United States would
best be able to supply.
The yearly gross earnings of the
United States Steel corporation are APP
proximately equal to the gross revenue
received by the United States govern
meut.
Seventy French firms manufacture
motor cars and their combined output
last year was $4,000 cars. The industry
employed 100000 workmen, earning on
an average $3.50 a year each.
Large deposits of stone suitable for
photographic purposes have been dis
covered and opened in Thessaly. Greek
experts report that this stone is far SUI
perior in quality to the best litho-
graphic stone heretofore known in Eu-
rope.
Under the heading, ga New German
Industry" German papers state that
the manufacture of quartz glass is
rapidly developing in that country
Quartz glass consists essentially Of
melted quartz and is perfectly trans
lucent.
The membership of the United Mine
Workers of America, as shown from
the number who paid the per capita
tax during the month of March, is
larger than it has ever been in the his
tory of the organization. Last year it
reached $4,000, while this year it is
264, 439.
Peat fuel in freight locomotives in
Sweden has hauled the maximum load,
the cost being about the same as with
English coal. To avoid the expense of
an extra fireman, however the peat is
now mixed with an equal weight of
coal, and the mixture has proven so
satisfactory that it is to be tried on pas
senger trains.
The shape of the rudder of a vessel
seems to be of more Importance than
has been generally supposed. Expert
ments in Scotland by j. Foster King
indicate that the rectangular form has
decided advantages. as it presents a
larger surface at the loda line under
all conditions and requires a smaller
stock and working gear than curved
shapes. With sufficient area the mar
row blade is as effective as the broad
one, while it can be set more rapidly.
