HOW INDIANS CURE CORN.
Interesting Process Which Is the
Work of Women and
Girls.

Long shallow bitches are made in
the ground and filled with dry wood
which is set on fire. In the mean
time the young maidens are busy pick
ing the tenderest corn and if faithful
to duty, soon return with bags filled
with the long ears, says the Southern
Workman.
A mother impatient at the hardness
of her daughter, calls: "To-dae-win,
why r you SO slow!" I'm coming!a
answers a girlish voice from the fur.
Their end of the field, but she does not
come. Again the mother calls: "The
fire is ready, why don't you hurry? ~
I'm coming!" shouts the maiden.
There is a rustling of the leaves of
the stalks, and she does really come;
she starts to tell a tale of excuse. but
the mother quickly empties the bag
giving no heed to the story, and be-
gins to remove the outer layers of
husk from the ear. Then she places
them in a row on the live Goals in the
ditch and turns them over with a
stick.
When the thin layers of husk are
scorched the woman with her stick
deftly losses the ears out of the ditch.
In the meantime the daughter con
tinues her task with more or less de-
lay, until a. sufficient quantity of corr
is gathered for the days work. After
the roasting of all the ears the
scorcned husks are removed and the
grains Of corn are separated from the
cob by the s of the sharp-edged
shell of the fresh water mussel. The
grain is then spread on skins and put
out in the sun to dry. The corr
prepared in this manner is called
sweet corn by the Indians. Enough
is cured in this way to last the family
a whole season.

UNEMPLOYED WoRKINCMEN
Question Which Gives the Govern
ments of Europe Much
Uneasiness.

The problem of the unemployed
workingr1an is one of the most impor-
tant questions of the day in several Eu.
sopean countries. Among the measures
introduced by the government at the
BrisEsh' parliament, says Youts = Com,
panion, was a bill for the RELIEF of the
unemployed, but it did not become a
law. The Belgian minister of labor has
published a document setting forth the
facts in his country, and measures have
been adopted for the solution Of the
problem in Sweden, Hungary and
Russia.
The most significant Of recent contri-
buttons to a knowledge of the subject
is the report of a committee of the
French chamber of deputies on the con-
ditions in France. It shows by numer-
Gus facts and figures that roduc-
ton of machinery and foreign competi-
ton have made it impossible for the
small farmer to earn a livelihood by the
cultivation of his land. Consequently
he sells his two or three acres to the
large proprietors, and drifts to the city,
to swell the ranks of the great army of
idlers.
The only remedy suggested in the re-
port for this disastrous exodus is to give
the villager and farmer employment
which shall add enough to his earnings
tomake him contented; that is, to organ
lie and promote house and village in
dustries.
Attention is called to the methods
adopted in Russia for fostering the earu-
ing capacity of the rural population.
There are about SO domestic industries
in that country by which farm laborers
a earn small SUM away from the
farms, such as iocksmithing, shoemak-
ing and paintit icons. The govern
ment encourages hese industries, called
koutsari, by th3 establishment of fac.
tories for apprentices, and of schools
and salesrooms, in which pupils may be
trained. AS far as possible it reserves
to the koutsari the manufacture of GER
tain COVER 'nt work. Bits and stir
rups, for zee, are made by the peas
ants of " vfor the military service.
At st. Pete Irg there is a permanent
exhibition of articles made by the sys-
tenn. One estimate Of the annual earn
ings of peasants by these Industries is
as high as $4,000, 900.
A bill has been introduced into the
French chamber, appropriating money
for an inquiry as to the expediency OF
establishing a similar system in France.
