Basketry of the Indians
 Is a Study in Symbolism

kets of one tribe, coarse fiber is used
 by others, and willows. tule root, squaw
 weed, tender shoots and even the bark
 of cedar and root of the spruce are made
 to take the form of baskets, admirable
 in form, color and design.
 Singularly enough. some of the finest and most attractive basketry of the
 North American Indians comes from far away Attu Island, a desolate, poverty stricken locality on the extreme west
 of Alaska. Other beautiful baskets are made by the Tlinkas and Haidas. tribes
 of Southern Alaska and the islands there- abouts. California is particularly noted for the superior basketry made by its Indian women. Every collector Is faMil- lar with the exquisite work of the Guaia- las, Yokuts and Pomas and counts ie among his treasures. The Poma baskets are delicate and beautiful in weave and coloring. A rattlesnake dance used to be among the ceremonials of the Yokut tribe, which accounts for the introduce tion of the rattlesnake design in their basketry. In Arizona and New Mexico are several tribes. whose women are ex- perts in the art of basketry; Zunis. Paiu- tis, Hopis, Pimas and Apaches are among the best of these. While excellent baskets have been made in various parts of the 1t is in the Southwest, the Pa- ciflc States and Alaska that the finest work of the American Indian has been done.
 Basketry as fine art has suffered de- cline since the advent of civilization. bringing in it's train multiplicity of cheap manufactured baskets and uten- sils. The sQuaw often prefers to buy for a few cents rather than to spend weeks In creating. It is to be hoped, however. that the present growing interest in viii tend to foster the art among Inc Indians, as elsewhere. Certainly. no; one of artistic tastes can frequent the. shops devoted to fine Indian basketry without becoming an enthusiast on the subject and possibly in time collector.

Northwestern Europe during the coming century is not over-population at all, but a deliberate restriction, of population by the more prosperous, more intelligent ana more thrifty sections, brought about by a rise in the standard of life itself. That is Lafcadio Hearn in other words; 1t is the admission that the superior race is too expensive to multiply; but 1t means the suicide of the race, and its slow re- placement by other human material.
 Yet another suggestion Is that as the death rate has declined, the relative pro- portion of young men and women has de- clined, and that a corresponding fall In the birth rate was to be anticipated. But this is not very satisfactory, since the fall in the death rate in Germany has been much greater than in England, but has not brought such diminution in the births.
 Rush of Modern Life.
 Lastly, the question must be faced whethen the fall is not to be connected with the special strains of modern life, es- pecially of city life. Australia and Eng land are both states in which the huge city predominates, and 1t Is at least noteworthy fact that the marked fall in our birth rate coincides with the collapse of agriculture, which forced our country population more and more into the towns from 1878 onward.
 This may be mere acident, but coun- try families are still generally larger, If only because of the difficulty of housing in the towns. No point is so painful in MT. Booths great study of London than his repeated reiteration of the fact that large families are regarded by landlords as a nuisance, and that the large family Is too often refused accommodation where the small family finds no difficulty in ob- talning it. Thus Is the devastating tor rent of children'-most accursed phrase repelled, and thus Is our national position being imperilled. For In this twentieth century world victory is to the large unit; the full nursery spells national and race predominance

New Names for the Pope.

A newspaper published at Siegberg, Ger many, has distinguished itself by bestow- ing upon the Pope five Christian names which His Holiness does not possess.

 your letters," said vice-President King. 'entitle you, MT. Purse, to every pany's officers. I will. therefore, furnish you an engine and cars for your purpose, but you must excuse me from accompa- nying you"
 It Is needless to say this second experi- ment was successful, and soon this counl try and Europe understood the value of the time table as thoroughly as its author. and were profting by its application to their train service.
 Shortly after hls return home, in tho fall of 1889. Superintendent Purse intro duced beil cords on trains. and in the win ter of the same year he introduced stoves into his coaches for the comfort of his passengers, in both instances in advance of the employment of bell lines and stoves by other railroads.
 While mary years have intervened be- tween the date of Mir. Purses invention and the present time, and vast improve ments have been made in the arts of printing and the arrangement of the infor- mat4on that the time table Is supposed to convey, yet the Newfoundland railway can be credited with putting out a time schedule of trains. which in the matter of crudity, probably excels even the orig
 
 inal attempt by the Central of Georgia.
 This unique sample of railroad literature occupies two full sheet Of Congress cap paper, pasted together, the stations, the leaving time of trains and distances, and other information being the work of type writing machines. It is probable that q sample was furnished to each station on the line but that the supply was not suffi- cient for gratuitous distribution. One of them, few years ago, found the way t the city passenger ofhce of tNe Boston and Maine Railroad where 1t was kept for some time as curiosity.
 The general makeup of this document was not only its point of interest as among its list of stations 1t presented more peculiar names than any other time table in the world. Among them were Topsail. Hodge Water Tickle Harbor. Come-by- Chance, Northern Sight, Joe Glode Pond, St. Patrick's Brook. Gaff Topsail, Kitty's Brook, etc.

A BROTHERS SONG.

Up-hill the burden must you bear? O brotheC sing. as on you fare! Nay. nay. the road fig rough and steep, The narrow path hardly keep Already in the noontide heat I faint. and see, my faltering feet And trembling hands scared and torn With thistle's whip and sword of thorn. Too soon shall pass my mete of time. As up the toilsome height l climb, Where crags defy. and winds deride, And foes assail every side The day Is short, the night Is long, No voice. no heart have l for song! Aye. brother. sing, there's one behind Who lists your voice. the path to find. Sing loud. and with his answering song Your faintng courage shall grow strong Then rose a voice so brave, 50 clear The laggard pilgrim joyed to hear. Light burst upon his darkened sense. Hope Quickened thought, once dull and dense The sullen stream and threat'ning rock, That seemed his craven soul to mock Took up the blitheful. buoyant strain And sang 1t OCT and o'er again, Speeding the tardy footsteps Until. at last. the goal was won. And loi a glad. victorious throng. Brought hither by brothers song!

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP SCORED.
Charles Francise Adams Declares It
 Wasteful and Incompetent.


 Charles Francis Adams, of Boston. in letter to R. T. Sneaker, local single tax advocate uses very plain language to express his opposition to any plan of municipal ownership or control of street railway lines. He says the municipal sys- tenn in use in Glasgow would lead to a riot in twenty-four hours if tried in Kansas City. Says MT. Adams:
 I can only say that, as the result of careful official examination on my part, I have never yet found in Europe any, where a case of municipal or public transportation worthy of an instant 8 consideration as compared with our own We here in America do things in the transportation line which in Europe they do not even dream of, and wherever the Government lays Its hand on a line 1t be- comes. compared with our system, par alyzed at once.
 "The fact is, when 1t comes to hand ling private business, any and every gov ernment Is, in my opinion, utterly incom- petent, whether 1t Is a water system schools, railroads. telegraphs, postoffices, or whatnot. Every time private enter prise would do 1t four times as well at about half the cost.
 Please don't talk to me of doing bus mess through governmental machinery. It is one colossal exhibition of waste, ex- travagance and incompetence"
