The buffalo. like other animals. was horribly pestered and annoyed by heas. To rid himself of these and also to cool

 in a manner peculiar to himself.
 Kneeling first. and then placing one shoulder on the ground he revoIved bv the use of his hind legs. thus making what was called a buffalo vaIlov.

 Three painters were badly injured yesterday while painting the exterior of the Rubber avenue school. Louis Squire's ribs were broken and also one arm, the arches of Patrick Falby's feet broken and John Engleson was injured internally. The men were about forty feet from the ground on a painting ladder and they attempted to raise themselves few feet in or der to reach their work better. The hauling on the ropes loosened one of the large hooks on the roof and it pulled away, dropping one side of the ladder and causing the men to fall.

INDIAN HAS SAILOR WALK.
His Step Is Nearly Flat-Footed and
 His Poise Is Like the Mariners.

A woodsman walks with rolling motion, his lips swaying an inch oi more to the stepping side, and his pace is correspondingly long. This bip action, says Field and Stream, may be noticed to an exaggerated de. gree in the stride of a professional pedestrian, but the latter walks with a heel-and-toe step, whereas an In. dian's or sailors step is more nearly fiat-footed. In the latter case the center of gravity is covered by the whole foot The poise is as secure as that of a ropewalker. The toes are pointed straight forward, or even a triie inward, so that the inside of the heel, the outside of the foot and the smaller toes all do their share of work and assist in balancing.
 Walking in the woods in this man per. one is not so likely, either, to trip over projecting roots, stones and other taps as he would be if the feet formed hooks by pointing outward The advantage is obvious in snow shoeing. If the Indian were turned to stone while in the act of stepping the statue would probably stand bal snced on one foot. His gait gives the limbs great control over his move. ments. He is always poised. If a stick cracks under him it is because of his weight. and not by reason of the impact. He goes silently on and with great economy of force. His steady balance enabled him to put his moving foot down as gently as you would lay an egg on the table.

THE RETOaT COURTEOUS.
Torrid Tirade of Juvenile Caucasian Coolly Countered by Small Af-
 rican Recipient.

A little Afro-American was trying to sell papers near Times square. He evil dently was novice in the ways of news boys. says the New York Times, for he displayed no timidity about poaching on others territory. But his innocence of custom was not to last long. A boy of about his own age came along and looked his African rival over. Then he said un- kind and even rude things to the new conner. They were to the effect that if the African tarried long in the vicinity various and sundry unpleasant things would happen to his anatomy that would make it difficult to identification after his body had been laid on a wet slab at the morgue.
 The information was imparted garbed in language far more forceful than would have been approved by the Gerry society. The young Caucasian also in- formed his rival that he was many things, which, it seemed. was news to the African. whose countenance was a picture of amazement and incredulity. The tirade of the white boy lasted about three minutes when he paused because he had run out of anathemas. Then he spoke once more. and followed his re- marks with swing for the right side of the others jaw. The blow was neatly dodsed. and as the African hastened away he cried back:
 "All them things what you said ! is, you is 'em.''

factories, where the roots of the plants are parched, ground and sold loose or in half-pound packages, to be used in connection with coffee, especially by the working classes.
 The white chicory was originally brought to Belgium from India, and the principal center of cultivation is in the immediate neighborhood of Brus- sells, especially in Schaerbeek, Evere and Woluwe. The root of this plant is of inferior quality and is conse- quently used as cattle feed.
 The growing of this essentially win- ter vegetable requires great care, trou- ble and hard work, beginning early in April, when the seed is sown. As soon as the plants are. an inch or two high they are carefully thinned out by hand, leaving the most vigorous un- disturbed a given distance apart In September and October, when the plants are in full maturity and the leaves very long. they are taken out of the ground and the leaves carefully cut off about two inches from the root.

 are disposed in them in three layers, each layer being covered by ten inches of earth and from 12 to IA inches of horse manure. This manure produces an artificial heat, which causes the chicory to sprout. and the earth being compactly pressed upon the plants. the leaves adhere closely together. and as no sunlight penetrates the covering. the plants are bleached white and pre- gent a most attractive and appetizing appearance when removed for con- sumption. This is done according to the demands of the market. The veg etable is available all the year round, hut the most active demand Is in the months of January, February and March. during the scarcity of other gar den vegetables. -= The aboye-described method of bleaching chicory has existed since the commencement of the cultivation of this
 
 popular vegetable. but much complaint is heard concerning it. principally on account of the germs contained in the horse manure. which is likely to rem der the vegetable unvholesome and un- | fit for consumption. and also on ac- count of the danger of sudden frost, which. by lowering the temperature of
 the manure covering checks the growth of the plants and oorrespondingly af. { fects the selling price. To combat these tnconveniences the eultivators of chic ory at Schaerbeek, one of the most i'm
 portant suburbs of Brussels. have for some time been experimenting-heatins f the layers of plants by the system oi E thermo-siphons The system has th. advantage of giving regular. constant heat and greatly reduces the manual f labor connected with the cultivation.

GENERAL PROSPERITY.


Reviews Of the past year and tore.
casts concerning the financial outlook
generally dwell on the material pros.
perity that has been enjoyed and that is
likely TO continue without Interruption
Aud It il probably true that never be-
fore In the worlds history was there
so much wealth as there Is now. Nor
was II ever 80 universally distributed
There were money kings In the dim
past who commanded their millions,
ana who were the object Of admiration
BY the hosts OF abiect slaves that cir
ced around them and lived of the
crumbs that rel from their tables
Their fame went far, and the curious
came from afar to see and admire the
luxury displayed Then wealth became
more general and few In each state
shared the riches that formerly had
been gathered IN one place, But the
masses we're still poor
To-day the opportunities have been OPP
oned up for all TO have a part in the
material prosperity OF the world.
Everything is certainly not in the ideal
condition Of perfection that would
be most desirable Financial tyr
amy has not yet been suppressed, But
Il is safe to say that the average pros
perlty Of the American people is higher
than has been reached by any nation
In the past, and higher than now exists
I'm any other country than our own. The
average wealth per caplte, as proved by
statistics leave no doubt tnat our ma
ton az the present time has reached
q height nowhere else and at no other
time attained, This, certainly Is
gratifying for Il means that influence
and power are being distributed among
the people
The thought Is appropriate at this
time, that material prosperity is not
the chief end to be attained, 1t is
not the greatest good. II is, and should
be. only a means to am end--a stepping
stone By which to reach something
higher and nobler We need to get away
from the crowd OF money -worahpers
and labor for higher moral standards
for purer political principles and for
more refining social conditions Wealth
ls good az far as II is employed I'm the
pursuit OF these ideals but when an
humun activity is directed toward the
accumulation OF wealth and nothing
else even prosperity becomes an evil
and o curse Let MS hope for am era
I u which popular influence for the lofti.
est ideals win be In proportion to the
general material prosperity enjoyed.
