snow Modelling.

The best time to build a snow statue
or an elaborate snow man, says Coun-
try Life In America, is just before the
formation Of a crust on the snow-that
is, during a thaw and just before a cold
snap. The thaw is sure to occur at the
right time, but to be ''real smart n
should consult the weather map for the
cold snap. A subject should be chosen
and thoroughly committed to memory
in advance. since the actual work of
modelling must generally be begun II
finished between 2 Or 3 o'clock and
dark. and there is no time for counting

He Got the Biscuits

1t is an encouraging thought that
when we really brace up and try to
overcome misfortune we are very likely
to gain the sympathy and often the
help of those who have before hindered
us.
There is a story of a wise old ele-
plant which illustrates this point.
There is a big African elephant at
the London geological garden which
was formerly much troubled by the
bad aim of people who threw crackers
toward the cage so they would fall i'll

A Fish story.

Sir Herbert Maxwell contributes to
the Monthly Review an attractive arti-
Gle on the debatable subject of Animal
Intelligence"
Some remarkable experiments We're
made about thirty years ago by Mr..
Amtsberg Of Stralsund. A large pike i'll
an aquarium was so destructive to 9TH
er fish in the tank that it was separat-
ed from them by a sheet of plate glass.
The sight of its accustomed prey
tempted the pike to make the usual
dash, only to receive a smart blow on
the nose. After about three months OF
this experience it found this to be such
a losing business that it gave up try
ing, and so firmly convinced was it that
these fishes were past masters in the
art of self defense that when the glass
was removed al the end Of half a year
it let them severely alone.
Yet when other fish were introduced
they were not spared.

FIGHTING ON LAND.
Battle Reported in Progress Between
Russ and Jap.

Russ and Jap.
London, Feb. 15.-News from Rus
sian source states that a battle be-
tween Russian and Japanese forces is
now being fought 'on the northern
bank of the Yalu river, where the
Russian land forces are concentrated.
This indicates that Japan's forces
have succeeded in crossing the river
and have engaged the Russians on
their own ground.
Dispatches telling Of another tre-
mendous victory Of the Japanese at
Port Arthur have been received from
Tien Tsin. The battle is said to have
occurred yesterday. The Star says
eight Russian vessels were sunk, 10
captured. One ship was left. The
news is not officially confirmed.
The fact that only 10000 troops
have landed at Chemulpo is taken to
indicate that the larger part Of the,
Japanese army has been DETECTED for
an investment of Port Arthur. The
$4,000 Japanese troops who were
beaten off in attempts to land at
Pigeon bay put to sea and sailed TO
Point Hudson, 40 miles north, where
it is reported they made a landing.

DIXON MEASURE DIFFERENT
THAN PRECEDING ONE.
CARRIES NO APPROPR|ATION
Indians Will Receive Pay for Lana
from Proceeds Of Sales to
Settlers.

The Dixon bill, which has passed
the house of representatives, provid-
ing for the opening Of the northern
part of the Grow reservation, is not
the kind of a bill by any means as
the one which twice before had been
passed in the senate. The former bill
provided an appropriation of $~1,15O,OOO
out of the treasury of the government
for the Indians in payment of the
lands to be segregated. The Dixon
bill makes no appropriation for the
Indians and what money the Indians
are to receive from the result of the
treaty will be paid them out OF the
proceeds of the sale of lands to the
settlers under the homestead law.
The segregation bill as it twice be-
fore passed the senate was drawn
exactly in accordance with the terms
of the treaty made with the Indians
in the summer of 1899. It was an ad-
mirable bill for the Indians, but rather
hard on the government, as it carried
with it an appropriation of $1,l5O,OOO
to become available at once after the
measure became a law.
Many people probably wonder how
congress can set aside a treaty with
the Indians, made in good faith, and
enact a law which sets aside the
main object the Indians had in view
when they consented to enter into an
! agreement for the sale of lands to
the government. Since the treaty was
| made with the Grow tribe of Indians
for the sale of the northern part OF
/ their reservation the supreme court OF
the United States has handed down
an important decision for the guidance
of congress in the matter of disposing
of Indian lands.
The court, in the case of Lone
/ Wolf, appealed from the Indian terri
tory, wherein a certain treaty was
lssought to be set aside, held that the
consent of the Indians for the sale o.
their lands need not be secured. Ihe
decision also holds that the govern
ment is the trustee of the Indian ant
has the power to prescribe the manner
of the disposition of their lands. i
was upon the lines of the supreme
court decision which sent the Grow
segregation bill through the lowel
/ house of congress-. Neither the lines
originally agreed upon or the appro
~priation exacted in the treaty VIII
the Indians was necessary in tn
drafting of the measure which las
week passed the house. Congressman
Dixon predicated his measure ON tn
Lone Wolf decision and the hous'
sent it to the senate regardless OF tn
treaty of 1899.
The senate will take the same vie
