dweller in the city fiat But the red man
| summons no van. The squaw takes down
the tepee, and packs poles, covering and
blankets upon ponies. Then leading her
pack animals, she follows in the wake of
hey lord. --~-----
In times of peace the squaw goes with her
buck upon the chase The men shoot down
the antelope; the squaws do the rest They
skin the animal and cook or dry the meat
Even in wartime the stluawS do their part.
They hold the ponies while the warriors go
forward to the attack Or when the braves
capture a band of horses the squaws ride
them off. They even fight sometimes like
the Amazons of old. The Nez Perces squaws
of Chief Joseph fought like men when he
made his famous campaign against the
United States army.
The red woman who clasps her blanket
on her shoulders, and sings upon her back
her baggy-cheeked papoose, bound upon his
board like a huge cocoon, is more often
now the educated than the wild woman.
Why she returns from school, straightway
removes her civilized garb and goes back to
the blanket. is puzzle to her white neigh
bors. However, they know but their own
life. She has known BOTH She makes her
choice.
Jennie, the daughter of Chief Pho, grad
uated- from Chemawa. the Indian college
near Seattle. When she returned to her
tribe she resumed the blanket and her old
manner of life. She soon became the sauaw
and the property of an Indian buck.
Knew When to Talk.
Indeed. it is dangerous now to assume
that any squaw one meets is the untutored
savage woman. / saw an Indian woman,
blanketed and with a silk kerchief ON her
head. in a store out west. When, out of
curiosity, I asked her some childish ques-
ton, she replied: Thank you, don't care
to talk this morning"
In short. the life of the Indian woman is
one unbroken camping out. No one will
deny that such an existence holds some of
the joys we all covet
To explain the fascination that untamed
nature has for all men, it has been said:
When civilized man goes to the mountains
or to the. forest. he is simply going home. y
Then why do we marvel that the civilized
red woman becomes homesick for the tepee
beside the winding stream; that. when she
reurns to the Old surroundings, the spell of
the mountains and forests is stronger upon
her than the laws of conventional life?
The real problem of the Indian woman is.
educate her. give her of our best.
and still not take from her all the old free
dom and joys of her wild life?

"Obelisk" of Mont Pelee,
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
The "obelisk" of Mont Pelee is a pinnacle,
or shaft of rock. rising to height of over
600 feet above the mouth of the crater and
5000 feet above the sea. This extraordinary
phenomenon has been gradually forced up
from the crater, as a cork is forced out of
a bottle by the pressure of gas inside When
first examined it was only 295 feet above
the lips of the crater, and it seems to have
risen even higher than it is now. 1t is of
reddish-brown volcanic stone, probably
pumiee lava, and it is supposed that it
formed the plug of the volcanic vent until
the pressure below forced it upward

"Out-of- Work" British Workman.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The "out-of-work" British workman, with
his bod and shovel carefully arranged on
the top of barrel organ, is again per-
arnbulating the streets of the West End.
Last winter the scandalous state of affairs
resulting from the generous but indiscrim-
mating response given by sympathetic
public to the appeals led to a strong pro-
test being made behalf of the very
class these men We're supposed to represent
Success appears to have emboldened them,
and their conduct in many of the principal
thoroughfares is such as to warrant police
interference; but the refusal of the public
to encourage such methods would probably
be amply effective.

gen. 1t is derived almost en-
tirely from the excrement of sea
birds, as we'll as from the remains
of the birds themselves. The
composition of this guano is of
very complex character. The
nitrogen exists largel y as ammo
MIA, combined with oxalates,
urates, humates, sulphates, phos-
pilates, carbonates, and to some
extent in purely organic forms
In these forms the Nitrogen is
quickly available, and marUelOus
results are obtained from its
use. The distinctive value OF
the natural guanos is due to the
fact that the nitrogen in a num-
ber of differently soluble com
pounds, which becomes avail
able at different times in the
soil, and thus constantly feed the
plant with this element. 1t is
sometimes argued that because
of the very great value of qua
nos, which consists very largely
of the excrement of sea fowls,
droppings of pigeons and of do
mestic fowls should also possess
high value and for this reason
fictitious value has been fixed
on these manures. These pro
ducts differ very materially from
natural Guanos, and it is due
probably both to the the char
acter of the food eaten by the
domestic fowl and to the differ
ent methods by which the food is
obtained. The birds producing
the Guanos feed largely on fish.

THE BEST is CHEAPEST.

Elsewhere in this issue refer
ence is made to the greatly in
creased sales of fertilizers in this
State up to March 1st., as
shown by the fertilizer "tag
tax" which to that time shows
that 800, 900 tons of fertilizers
of all kinds had been sold.
Doubtless the greater bulk of
that enormous quantity is cheap
stuff, such as 1870 acid and
kainit, both of which are good
so far as they go; but they are
too sterile in the elements that
go to make crops grow, fruit
and mature-that is to say,
there is too small a percentage
OF the three elements that are
essentially necessary for the
best results in crops of all kinds,
viz, phosphoric acid, nitrogen
Cor ammonia) and potash.
1t should be apparent to all
that 200 pounds to the acre of
a fertilizer containing 10 per
cent of phosphorlc acid, 4 of
nitrogen and 4 of potash would
be just as valuable to the crop
as 400 pounds per acre of fer
tllizer containing only half of
those percentages, and that the
stronger fertilizer is cheaper be-
cause there is less freight on it
IN proportion to strength, and
there is less labor in hauling
and distributing the higher
grades than the lower in order
to get the same percentages of
the fertilizing clements.
In view of these facts land
they are unimpeachable facts)
we believe the cheapest all
round fertilizer the farmer can
use is Peruvian guano. The
percentages of the valuable ele.
ments in this fertilizer are high,
being 2O% phosphoric acid and
4 per cent each of ammonia and
potash. An analysis made
by the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture shows ma
terially higher percentages of
each of these elements, as does
also an analysis made by the
Massachusetts Agricultural Col.
iege.

Prof. f. B. Voorhees,, Director
of the New Jersey Experiment
Station, will be read with inter-
est by those interested in the
