LIFE OF BABY SAVAGE.
THE TREA TMENT WHICH INDIAN
PAPO0SES RECEIVE FROM
SQUAW MOTHERS.

Indian Redskin Very Seldom Cries-Is
Strapped to a Plank, Washed in the
Greek and Hung on Tree to Dry
Out.
In the Indian papoose child nature
is essentially the same as in the eau
casion babe, though there is a strik-
ing contrast in their manners, due to
maternal treatment, or as student of
child nature might say, to environ
ment. The chief differences, really,
between the little Indian and the little
white is that the former is less a cry
baby than the latter The reason for
this is that the white baby usually gets
what he cries for if it be within moth
ers' power to procure it, Learning this
from experience, for every mother
knows how wise and shrewd the baby
is, whenever he feels that a certain ar
ticle would conduce to his content
ment, he forthwith howls Now, the
papoose, so far from being encouraged
in this vocal exercise, is repressed. His
mother is unresponsive and the baby

BLACK WALNUT NUTMEGS.
Bishop Potter Was Sure That He
Was Tasting the Real Article.

The power of suggestion is not
merely phrase; it really is a. power.
1t has the strength to deceive men in
the matter of cigars, wines, whiskeys
and what not. 1t is a force in medicine
as every doctor knows. 1t is an agent
in therapeutics. The power of sug-
gestion and the force of example are
intimately related. But to illustrate
the FRANKS which suggestion may play
with ones palate the following story is
told on Bishop Potter, reverend gen.
tleman of ecclesiastic note and recent
Subway Tavern fame:
In the course of his diocesan ram
bles he called on an old friend from
the South. 1t was evening, and the
bishop was invited to supper, not din.
ner, for as people of the South know,
the appropriate time for dinner is mid
day and the meal after candle-light is
supper. One of the dishes served was
cottage-cheese or as it is more often
called in the language of the olden
time "smear-case." This is often eaten
under a plentiful dressing of cream
and sugar. The bishop elected to have

petite craved little grated nutmeg as
flavor. This was embarrassing to

Aunt Dinah came in, her black face

"Ah," said the bishop, speaking with
that tone of complacent assurance,
coming from consciousness of a per-

PRESERVING THE FORESTS FROM
DESTRUCTION.
CRUSADE HEADED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT
FOREST FAMINE AND FLOOD RAVAGE
RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD.

Reserving forests in the west from
monopolization for private gain is a
government policy with which the peo-
pie have become somewhat familiar,
our national forest reserves amounting
now to nearly sixty million acres; but
the idea of applying this principle to
the older forests in the eastern states
may be new to some people and yet
is becoming a prominent one. Moth
ing is giving it popularity and import
ance so much as the great interest
manifested by the President in the
subject.
There are proposed great national
reservations in the Southern Appala-
chan forests, in the White Mountains,
in Minnesota, and in other eastern
states, entirely separate and apart from
the great reservations in the west
President Roosevelt is an arch disci-
pie of forestry and the great promi-
pence into which the subject has
jumped may be indicated by the
growth of the Bureau Of Forestry
from IA small office, few years ago,
employing half Il dozen people, to an
institution with annugl appropriations
of half million dsflars, employing
hundreds of trained foresters in the
field, and having2:he supervision, ac-
tual and tentatiy,:i of nearly a hundred
million acres ~ forest.
If there elyr was a national ques-
ton it is forestry, and the people of
the country are wise in waking up, or
fortunat.Sin being Weakened up, to its
overshaLowing Importance before il,
revociDle damage shall have been
done
The largest of the proposed eastern
forest reserves is that in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains and that its
establishment is matter of national
concern was dwelt upon with empha-
sis by President Roosevelt in his adj
dress at Raleigh, n. c., on October 20,
He pointed out how vitality southern
forests affect southern indus
tries and thus the entire coun-
try. The entire south the territory
east of the Mississippi and south OF
the Ohio rivers-is affected by this
proposed reservation of some foul
million mountain acres in which rise
all the rivers which water this area
The President said
II want TO say word TO you on q
special subject in which all the coun
try is concerned, but in which NORTH
Carolina has a special concern The
preservation of the forests is vital tC
the welfare of every country. China
and the Mediterranean countries Offer
examples of the terrible effect of de
forestation upon the physical geogra
ply, and therefore ultimately upoI
the national well-being of the nations
One of the most obvious duties which
cur generation owes to the generations
that are to come after us is to pre-
serve the existing forests. The prime
difference between civilized and un
civilized peoples is that in civilized

Developing the Brave.

The child is given every possible en-
couragement to play and is never
whipped by his parents, because it is
the Indians philosophy that whipping
breaks the spirit of the child and the
Indian ambition is to be brave and
self-reliant. 1t is fact that though
the Indian child is not subject to cor
poral punishment and the ruder forms
of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rever-
eat, obedient, docile and extraordina-
rily respectful toward their parents
and seniors. 1t is the Spartan quality
which the mother and father strive to
develop in their boys.

brides that the neighbors might not
charge her with neglect of maternal
duty, or her baby with an evil DISPOSE
ton. Yet another reason for the calm
and placid habit and orderliness of the
.papoose as compared with his fair
brother is that the darker little saw
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
sport and gambol in, but is either
packed tightly in a basket or strapped
to board In this position he finds
kicking and squirming uncomfortable
exercise and his enforced repose de-
velops into habit.
So, the stoicism and the tacturnity
of the Indian are nurtured in early
youth though of course one reason for
the Indians lack of fluency in speech
is that in his life and thought he has
not the need of many words. The
primitive white man was not voluble.
Bath Day of Papoose.
The papoose has no nursery luxu-
ries as little pale-face babes under
stand that phrase. He has no soft and
tepid water prepared for him by a
faithful maid or fond mamma. He
is never lathered DER with perfumed
soap nor busted with sweet-scented
powders. At intervals, usually two or
three times a week, the mothers of
the tribe or band take their babies to
the nearest creek, pool or spring, I'M
strap the little ones and tumble them
into shallow water, where they have
a splashing time while the mothers
swap the gossip of the tribe, for
suuaws are very feminine in their love
of personal news and Chit-chat involv-
ing other sQuaws, bucks and braves.

Death for MeakIing Babies.

Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and we'll formed This
is because only those of robust consti-
tuition survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. 1t is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
yive, for it is a custom in most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suifoca e
or drown born weaklings or deformed
babies. Death is the lot of the I'M
happy little baby whose health and
physique are below the tribal standard
The Albino child, and these are more
common among the Indians than might
be supposed, is certain to perish soon
after birth, because the coming of such
child is regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure of the Great Spirit.
The redskin babe is released from
his lacings and swaddlings as soon as
he is old enough to walk, and then
his real child life begins. He has
great freedom. When it is warm
enough to go without clothes, and the
Indian child is Injured to cold, he tum-
bles and romps naked His pets are
dogs and ponies and is as fond OF
these as are his blond cousins. AS he
grows old enough to run he takes ar
interest in the athletic sports Of the
tribe and the usual young Indian games
are deer and hounds, hide and seek
foot racing, pony racing, bow and arrow
shooting, spear throwing, wrestling

twice what it would cost to buy the

than the prevention of foods because
if they are injured your manufactur-
