LANGUAGE LEARNING.
You Can Make a Pleasure Of 1t In
stead Of Task.

From Wellspring.
"Schliemann's prescription is a quick
method of acquiring at least a reading
knowledge of other tongues, and 1t is less
fully appreciated than 1t should be in the
very places where 1t could be of greatest
USE There are all over the country homes
where one or two or the family have had,
at some time or other a pleasant and
broadening and refreshing acquaintance
with German or French, or perhaps even
italian or Spanish. The difficulty has been
to 'keep up" that acquaintance; and
chance to bring a fresh, lively, outside in
terest into the home life is lost.
Dr. Schliemann's method was simply this:
he was too busy unearthing the nine buried
cities of old Troy town to have much time
left for hard work with grammars and die
tionaries. So he did without them largely.
He learned by reading, and by reading rap
idly as one reads in English. depending upon
habit and familiarity with the words 10
make their meanings clear to him. He is
today almost as famous for the many for
eign languages he was able to read as he is
for his archaeological discoveries.
The ''fve-minute doses" of this pre-
scription" amount to this: Take five min
uJes day for reading, say, German. Just
read it. Don't think you are unscholarly
because you haven't time to look up some
new word. Words have a way of teaching
words. Reading a little each day will keep
in training your word memory and will fas-
ten new words in your mind. Get your
eyes and your ears. too, accustomed to the
once unfamiliar phrases and words. Let the
wits sharpen themselves on guessing at
meaning here and there. Don't be discour-
aged; the vital point is 10 have faith In this
prescription. 1t has been tried, and 1t
works.
All at once where you could only read a
few sentences In your five minutes you will
find yourself reading a page, two pages,
three. The sense of whole phrases will
seem to jump out at you without need OF
clumsy translations into English. And the
cheap editions of foreign books are so easy

Two Little Known Indian Tribes.

The handsomest Indians in the world are
the Onas-inhabitants of Terra del Fuego.
They are very tall and have strikingly
beautiful features. They wear no clothing
except loose skins of animals, which they
wrap about their bodies. They never stay
more than a night or two in the same place.
The reason for this is that an evil spirit IS
thought to be pursuing them, and they move
on TO avoid being overtaken. When they
stop in their Handerings they dig a hole in
the ground three feet deep. They weave
branches over this, and at night all crawl
into this and cudde together with their
dogs for warmth. -.. ---
Another tribe is called the Yaghans. These
Indians get their living from the sea instead
of the land. In appearance they greatly re-
semble the Onas, with the exception that
they much smaller
They eat mollusks, fish, birds and fungi.
Birds are cooked in an unusual manner by
the Yaghans. who put red-hot stones inside
them and then plunge them thus heated
into the Goals.
They also have an original way of roast
Ing eggs. They break a hole in the end Of
the egg, which is then stood upright in the
ashes before the fire. This is turned round
and round. that it may be cooked evenly,
The 9aghans are good hunters the wo-
men being excellent fishers. They are more
fearless than the men. whom they excel in
the management Of boats and in swimming
their rivers.

A Cossack's Childhood.



Powerful light is thrown on Cossack
nature by the revelations made by the
Russian whom Ernest Poole quotes:
What a fine cook Granny wasl" relates
the Cossack. in describing his childhood;
she made bright yellow cakes big as this
big fur hat. 1t took long time to bake
the cake In the brick oven; 1t was so soft
and delicate that even If you stamped on
the foor and Jared the oven the big cake
would fall into lump of dough and be
good only to feed the geese and the pea
cocks So old Granny used to hobble up
and down in front of the oven waving of
all OF us who tried to get close for smell;
and even If one Of us little brats shouted or
swore she would curse US soundly in a
whisper for making a jar In the air. If
you've ever heard Cossack swear you will
see that Granny was right, for a Cossack
curse could stop a big locomotive running
full speed down a mountaini Hal ha! ha!"
He leaned back and grew red with laugh
ing.
well! we'll! And my good. fat mother
what borSch (soup) she used to make in
the deep earthen bowl! When she poured
1t all splattering into the brown earthen
basin, two or three feet across then we
brats used to stand around, each with his
wooden spoon. We each dipped out a big
chunk of meat; always fair play. each had
his turn: If one of us took two pieces how
quick old Granny would beat him in the
face with her spoon And when the meat
was all gone then we dipped UP the thick,
red tomato soup-every spoonful, 1 can tell
you! We young dogs were always hungryi'

APPLESEED.

II was peculiar name for man, yet
that was the name he went by-Johnny Ap-
pleseed. and 1t was entirely appropriate, as
you will see.
Appleseed was poet, and philos-
opher, and a philanthropist; that is. he
wrote verses, some of them pretty good;
he took the world as ne found It, without
complaining. though trying to make 1t a
little better; ana he must have loved his
fellow men. for he went about doing good,
asking no reward for himself.
1t was fifty or sixty years ago that
Johnny Appleseed lived. He was known
all through the Ohio valley, although no
body could tell where he came from or
whittier he was travelling
You have read Of the wandering minstrels
or Europe who used to go about from town
to town centuries ago. Appleseed was
somewhat like them, for In bag he al
ways carried there was an old Violin and a
bow. And when he stopped at a tavern or
at home or when he sat down in pub
lie square he often played his violin and
sang.
But this appeared to be mostly for his
own amusement At any rate he did not
wait for an audience before he began play
ing and he never passed the hat after
ward. He often took meal with one OF
his many friends, and sometimes one of
them would persuade him to take a coat or
g
But he never begged.
But why did they call him Johnny Apple
seed? Well, here is one of his little poems
in which Johnny tells his own story:
''I love to plant a little seed
Whose fruit l see;
Some hungry stranger 1t may feed
When 1t becomes a tree.
81 love to sing a little song
Whose words attune the day,
And round me the children threng
When l begin to play.
$50 I never lonesome be-
Although am alone
1 think some future apple tree
Will help men now unknown.
81 sing my heart into the air
And plant my way with seed;
The song sends music everywhere,
The tree Will tell my deed"
That tells the story. When Johnny ate
an apple or pear OF peach he would put
the seed into the bag to dry. Then as he
tramped about, here and there, he would
population of Kentucky Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois was not yet large Many Fertile
spot did Johnny find where he felt sure
there would be a prosperous home some
day. Here, then, he would drop some of
the seeds, and smile as he thought of the
luscious fruit somebody would enjoy II
years to come.
That Is why he was called AppIeseed
And that is why the settlers so often found
clumps of fruit trees which they thought
had by some good luck grown up there
wild. Johnnys wants were few. He was
happy and cheerful and contented Was
he not then both philosopher and a phi
lanthropist?

A Halloween Parade.

Perhaps there Is hardly q boy or girl In
America who does not know how to cut
round hole in the top of a pumpkin, scrape
out the seeds. cut two holes for eyes, one
for nose and one for huge grinnins mouth
and put a lighted bit of candle inside, thus
making jack-o' lantern.
And there are few city children who have
not learned how to use pasteboard boxes
In place of pumpkins. But 1t is possible to
have more fun with them after they are
made than boys and girls usually have.
Wherever there are several young people
together. get up a witch parade. II this is
In the country, In suburb where there
are trees and lawn and shrubbery, the lead
er of the parade should map out before
hand a zig-zag path that will take the pro-
cession through the darkest places to be
found. 1t may lead into the cellar Or the
barn, or even into the edge OF wood II
woods are near.
At certain spooky places have jack-o-lan-
terms placed, which come into view as
corner is turned. If there are enough play
ers there may be one or two ghosts. Win
jacks held before them, who suddenly ap-
pear in unexpected places If the ghosts
know where the parade will pass they may
appear at one point and then dodge through
the darkness to another point.
OF course all who are in the parade carry
their jack-o-lanterns. If they can also
have weird costumes the effect will be all
the better.
In the city suppose there are children
from five houses playing together. Get eacn
to dress up the halls and rooms IN ms own
house with tack-o-lanterns, having the
Iigths turned very low, and the furniture
well back against the wall.
The paraders may meet in one house ana
then march to the next house, headed by
the boy or girl who lives there. The leader
will know the way through what rooms the
parade may pass. In going to the tnlro
house boy or girl from that house taxes
the lead.
Every house should have at least one
ghost Sometimes an older sister or even
the head of the family will enjoy the sport
well enough, and be accommodating enough
to take that part.
A giant ghost Is great sport. rake an
old silk hat, wrap some light material loose.

thing Is the enormous head, which OF
course reaches from the persons neck to
the top Of the beaver hat. Eyes, nose ana
a hideous mouth may be marked on the OUT
side of the bag or covering. This makes
a yeritable goblin.
AS the parade advances the ghosts VINO
have appeared may fall in line and marcn
with the rest If a bit of refreshments can
be served at the different houses the enjoy
ment is much increased. Groans and un-
canny noises should be uttered by the pa
raiders as they go slowly along.

Plenty Of Chestnuts This Year.
rom the Baltimore HeraI,


If the heavy receipts of chestnuts of the
present week to be taken as an indica-
ton OF the size of this years crop-and
dealers say that they mayhem all lovers
OF chestnut roasting have abundant cause
Tor rejoicing. Reports from southwestern
Virginia. North Carolina, Tennessee and the
western sections of Maryland the territory
relied upon by local dealers for their supply
of the toothsome nuts, are that a full crop
will be harvested.
But few persons realize the enormous
quantities of chestnuts annually sold in this
market" said a member of a produce COM
pany. From 1900 to 10000 bushels are
each year sold in this city. The greater
part of them are bought by the market men
and Italian push-cart dealers. New York
and the west also make acquisitions on this
city Tor considerable shipments of the stock
The most serious drawback to the cuIti-
Vatlon or the chestnut regular crop is
the length OF time required for the tree to
come into bearing. The tree from the time
1t Is set out need not be expected to yield
before it is at least fifteen or eighteen years
old.
The greatest enemy to the chestnut is by
all odds the chestnut worm. This little pest
is evidently deposited in the nut while il "a
very small-in the BLOSSOM 1 should say
and there 1t remains until 1t fattens and
crawls forth when the nut is ripe and ready
Tor eating. No remedy for this pest has vet
been discovered, and until 1t is the cestnut
as money maker must remain fearfuIIy
handicapped"
