Drouth in New England States.

While the West aud South have been
suffering from too much water, New
England has been going through a drouth
period. The Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican says that few realize what the loss
means. For instance, it is estimated
that the value of the hay and forage,
cereals and vegetables raised in New Eng
land States during the year 1899 amounted
to $136,OOO,OOO. The Republican says
that the value of these products for this
year will not reach more than one-half
that amount. The live stock and dairy
industry is very important one in the
Now England States. In 1900 the value
of these industries was placed at S75,-
100000. The Republican says: Farmers
in northern New England are already be-
ginning to sacrifice live stock because of
present lack of pastnrage and in antici-
patton of serious scarcity of winter
feed. Hay is rising to unprecedentedly
high prices in Vermont and elsewhere.
There seems to be no possibility of es-
Gaping comparative scarcity and very
high prices for feed of all kinds, which
in turn will affect the prices of dairy
products, increasing the cost of living in
the cities and reducing the consumption
of manufactured products among the
farmers" The Republican says also
that "what is true of New England Is
equally true of all eastern New York
State and New Jersey, where farmers
are selling off their live stock and pre-
pairing for season of great scarcity"
Too Much Rain Now.
Dover, N. H., June 22.-The steady
downpour of rain during the last 3G
hours is almost unprecedented at this
time of the year. Rivers and other
streams are already swollen to nearly
high water mark and there is danger of
serious damage. Telegraph and tele-
phone service is seriously crippled in
almost every direction and number of

AN INDIANS TEST.
How He That n White
Man Was "a Coward.

"The Indian has Il queer way of de-
termining whether or not Il mar is
game. Judging from IN experience l
had some years ago" said Il MAJ w!.o
once made an educational tour of the
west, "anj the same little experience
convinced me that the Indians system
of reasoning along this line is by no
means Il bad one.
Stories had been told which brought
about a clash between the Indian and
q white man. The two men originally
had nothing against each other. The
Indian had a bad reputation-that is.
he had h reputation of being a bad
man, a desperate, dangerous fellow.
who would fight Il buzzsaw at the drop
OF a hat. The white man who blew
into the section had in some way
gained u similar reputation. He was
said to be a dangerous character and a
man who had never been whipped. We
concluded that we would have some
FUN. We met the Indian and told him
a long story about his new rival and
reminded him that his laurels were In
danger and succeeded in getting his
pride stirred, and his Indian blood was
soon up to the fighting point. Soon
after this we met the white man, and
We filed him up with the same kind
Of talk. He said he would take care of
the Indian all right in due time, and.
in short, would make him take to the
woods. Shortly we met the Indian
again and told him the desperate white
man was after his scalp. He smiled
and shook his head.
"A few days later we were talking
to the white man when the Indian
came up to join the group. He had
spotted the stranger and knew him by
sight. Without saying n word to him
he walked up within arms reach and
struck the white man in the face with
q rough, heavy glove. He paused for Il
few seconds and hit him again. Ugh.
he exclaimed as he wheeled around
and walked away. The white man
looked at the Indian in amazement. but
made no show of resentment. Later in
the day when we asked the Indian
why it was that he did not follow up
the insult with blows he told us the
white man was a coward. In explain
ing how he knew it he said the mans

Some of the remedies Used by our
ancestors ought to have been sufficient
to scare away any disease without
their application. Here are a few of
them: "A halter wherewith any one
has been hanged if tied about the head
will cure headache. Moss growing IN
on a human skull if dried and pow
dered and taken as snuff is no less Elf
%caciOus." DIR. Samuel Turner. who
wrote on diseases of the skin. notices a
prevalent charm among old women for
the shingles, the blood of a black cat
taken from its tail and smeared on the
part affected. The chips of a sallows
tied on a string and worn around the
neck are said to have cured ague.
Spiders, as may readily be supposed,
were in great repute as remedies. Bur-
ton, the writer of the "Anatomy OF
Melancholy was at first dubious as to
h efficacy of the spider as a remedy,
though he states that he had seen it
used by his mother. whom he knew to
have excellent skill in c%hirurgery. sore
