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 IL faithful
TO duty, soon return with bags filed
with the long ears, says the Southern
Workman.
A mother impatient at the tardiness
of her daughter, calls: "To-dae-win,
why are you so slow!" I'm comlng!"
answers a girlsh voice from the fur
her end OF the field but she does not
come. Again the mother calls: THE
Ire Is ready, why don't you hurry?'
I'm ooming!" shouts the maiden.
There is a rustling of the leaves OF
the stalks, and she does really come; ;
she starts to tell 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 tL,ns them over with q
stick.
When the thin layers of husk are
scorched the woman with her stick
deftly tosses the ears out Of the ditch
In the meantime the daughter con
tinues her task with more or less de
lay, until sufficient quantity Of corr
is gathered for the days work. Aftel
the roasting of all the ears the
scorched husks are removed and the
grains of corn are separated from the
cob by the use Of the sharp-edget
shell of the fresh water mussel The
grain is then spread on skins and pu
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 famil,
a wnole season.

SQUIRRELS HIDING FOOD.
Contrary to General Belief, the Hol-
low Tree Is Not the Fa-
vorite Place.

While certain members of the squir-
rel tribe store their winters supply OF
food In hollow trees. | think. writes
John Boyd, in Recreation, most of
them hide II on the ground under old
roots. brush piles and even beneath
heaps of dead leaves. Their tracks
in winter would seem to bear this out
While II may be that this frequency
of the tracks indicates a scarcity Of
food, and the travelling about a desire
to find supply, believe, in the
main that these outings of the squir-
rels have a definite destination, be-
cause when you see them skip across
the snow. stop short. and scratch q
hole down to the ground. bringing up
a supply OF nuts or cones. placed there
In the months Of plenty you are apt
to attribute their luck more to a good
memory than to any haphazard specu-
lation.
or the squirrel family the most
prominent in winter are the blacks.
He seems to be flowing over all the
time with pent-up energy, which keeps
him in constant motion. and you some
times feel that you would like him to
be able TO talk and tell you how
pleasant IL is to have the Joy which
flows from glad heart Now watch
him Jump from limb to limb. rush
headlong down the trunk and course
bounds, with no apparent purpose but
to exhibit the happiness within him.
His red cousin once in awhile may
be seen at the entrance to his home
In the heights of some tree, but in him
is no sign of exultation. He looks
around as IL he were looking and
wishing for spring to come, and clear
away the snow, and no amount OF
coaxing will cause him to utter a note
Of scolding or alarm. Not all the
red squirrels, however. keep to the
trees. Many Of them, through want
Of food, have to take to the earth
and their track in the deep snow Is
heavy fioundering Of labored bounds
az they go from tree to tree in search
Of the scanty provisions hidden be-
meath the surface. Here and there we
find the gummy scales Of the pine
cones. the shells of the acorn, the
seed cones Of the birch and cedar
scattered about on the snow, showing
the food on which they subsist. In
greater contrast to the deficacies Just
named, often one will find during Ions
and severe winters that the squirrels
have attacked the hemlock trees b,
stripping them of their bitter seeds
When one finds this II is evidence o.
great want, and merciful act woulc
, be to bring some food and scatter 4
about to assuage the pangs Of hun
: ger which these little fellows arr
; enduring.

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

The problem OF the unemployed
workingman is one OF the most impor-
tant questions Of the day in several Eu-
ropean countries Among the measures
introduced Ivy the government at the
British parliament. says Youths Com
panion. was a bill for the relief of the
unemployed but II did not become a
law The Belgian minister o' labor has
published 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 knowledge Of the subject
Is the report Of a committee of the
French chamber OF deputies on the con-
ditions in France. II shows by numer-
ous facts and figures that the introduce
ton Of machinery and foreign competi-
ton have made II impossible for the
small farmer to earn livelihood by the
cultivation Of his land. Consequently
he sells his two or three acres to the
large proprietors. and drifts to the city,
10 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
omake him contented; that is, to organ
ize and promote house and village in
dustries.
Attention is called to the methods
adopted in Russia for fostering the earn
Ing capacity of the rural population
There are about so domestic industries
In that country by which farm laborers
can earn small sums away from the
farms, such as locksmithing, shoemak-
ing and painting icons. The govern
ment encourages these industries, called
koutsari, by the establishment Of fac
tories for apprentices, and of schools
and salesrooms. in which pupils may be
trained. As far az possible II reserves
to the koutsari the manufacture Of GER
tain government work. Bits and stir
rups, for instance. are made by the peas
ants Of Yaroslav for the military service.
At st. Petersburg there is q permanent
exhibition OF articles made by the sys-
TEN. One estimate Of the annual earn
ings of peasants by these industries is
as high as s58,O0O,0O0.
A bill has been introduced into the
French chamber, appropriating money
for an inquiry as to the expediency of
Establishing similar system in France.
