Teaching the Indians.

Among the various school closing cX-
erclses was one Of most unique char
acter, which attracted little notice Hid
den away down III the North Carolina
mount ans few know that there is an IN
dlan reservation of over one hundred
thousand acres where nearly 1000 of the
remnants OF the Cherokees still live. On
tins reservation the general Government
supports school for the Cherokee chill
dren, and the Indian children have q far
better opportunity for education than
many of the mountain white people around
them. The school IS in a picturesque spot
among the hills by the pretty little river
called the Oconolutty or as the Cherokecs
say, Aquonulty. There were 143 pupils IN
The school during the session, and they are
not only educated in the commodious
buildings, but are trained IN various useful
occupations. and the school is making
them useful citizens The list of pupils
contains some curious names, such as
Jess Ropetwster, Loggie Swannook Cain
Screamer, Cally Smaner. Sarah Squirrel
jim Cumcumber, jim Mumblehcad. etc.
But rose by any other name IS just as
sweet, and the Indian lads and lassies
are SAID to be bright and Studlous and
play like any other children at their
games. We wish that the white people
Of the mountain country around them
had as good an opportunity for education
and training.

The Sh0ddy Bill.

We have received a circular from lii"
Secretary of the National Live Stock As
sociation urging our support of the Lii
introduced in Congress on behalf Of this
Association, requiring the branding of all
goods made from shoddy and all garments
manufactured from such goods. We have
no objection to such bill becoming a law,
but fear that it would be just as hard to
enforce it as it was to enforce the brand
ing of oleomargarine. Nor can we fail TO
remember that the president, secretary and
majority of the members Of the National
Live Stock Association vigorously y opposed
the enactment OF the law to prevent the
fraudulent coloring of olec IN imitation
of butter by taxing the colorlng. If the
shoddy bill is a good one to enact INTO
law, the oleo law is equally good But
the National Live Stock Association was
under the complete control Of the oleo N
tcrest in Chicago, which impressed upon
the Western StOckmen the notion that the
Oleo law would reduce the selling value OF
their cattle, a result which the passage OF
the law has shown to be erroneous for the
stockmen have not been injured IN the
slightest degree. In fact, as the Secretary
of Agriculture said to at the Chicago
meeting of the Association, the amount
of tallow used in oleO would not then
1
| amount to 20 cents per head Of cattle sold.
| We would have more interest IN the bill
which the Association wants passed for
the benefit OF the sheep men of the West
| ern ranges if the Association had had
| some regard for the interests OF the East
ern dairymen. We hope the shoddy Lii!
will pass but Go not expect much effect
| from it on the shoody trade One OF the
pet arguments against the oleo law Was
that it was the poor mans butter. The
same argument might be used against the

PEACH CROP.

The peach crop Of the South is for the
most part gathered and marketed during
this month. The harvesting should begin
before the peaches are fully ripe, other
wise they viii be oveIripe when they
reach the market. Baskets are used in
gathering. When the limbs are higher
than can be reached conveniently from
the ground. stepladders are sometimes
used but oftener the picker climbs the
trees and gathers from each limb The
baskets as filled are taken to the packing
house In New Jersey the peaches are
assorted into three grades, and those in
tended to be sent to the domestic markets
are packed in halfbushel baskets, round
in form and widening towards the top.

THE BARN BELONGED TO HER.

In a little country town in this State live a
couple who are as different from each other in
disposition as it is we'll possible for them to be.
The husband is lazy, jovial fellow, fond of
spending his time in the village saloon and of
attending country dances, while the wife is a
frugal, hardworking woman, whose temper has
not been sweetened by her husbands habits.
When it comes to a clash of authority 'the
missus' invariably carries the day AS a mat
ter of fact, she owns the place they live in, and
that alone goes far toward insuring her the
upper hand.

friends to a dance in his new barn. When Mrs.
