THINGS NOT JUST
WHAT THEY SEEM

The Arabic figures were not invent
ed by the Arabs. They were intro
duced into Europe from Arabia in the
twelfth century, but the system in its
complete form originated in India. The
blind worm is neither blind nor a
worm. 1t is small European lizard
having slender, limbless body and
small eyes, which are quick and bril-
liant.
Bridegroom has nothing to do with
the groom. It is from the old Eng
fish word guma, or man. Hence
Brydguma, the brides man. Fire, air,
earth and water were falsely regard
ed by the ancients as the constitu-
ents of which all things are composed,
and were consequently called ele-
ments, but they are not elements at
all. German silver has no silver in
its composition, nor was the metallic
mixture invented by German. 1t is
a white alloy composed of copper,
zinc and nickel, and has been in use
in China time out of mind.
Greyhound has no connection with
the color gray. While the derivation
of the first part of the word is uncer-
tain, it is possibly from grey or gray,
the badger which was hunted by the
hound. Gothic architecture Is not the
architecture of the Goths, but the &C.
clesiastical style employed in England
and France before the renaissance.
The term was applied by the Italians
as one of reproach. Irish stew is a
dish, that is little known in Ireland.
Rice paper is not always made from
rice. There is one kind that is pro-
duced of rice from China. Japan and
elsewhere, but the term is more COM
monty applied to delicate white film
which Is not rice paper at all, but Is
prepared in China from the pitch of q
shrub.
Salt has long been wholly excluded
from the class of bodies denominated
salts. Table salt is chloride of sodium.
Sealing wax Is not wax, nor does it
contain single particle of wax. 1t
is made of shellac and resin melted
with turpetine. The titmouse Is no
mouse, but bird. Turkish baths are
not of Turkish origin. Whalebone is
in no sense bone, but an elastic, horny
substance attached to the upper jaw
of the whale. Worm wood has moth
ing to do with worm or wood. While
the formation of the word is uncer-
tain, it is apparently from the Anglo
Saxon wermOa, preserver Of mind.
from the supposed belief In its medi-
cinal virtues.

INDIANS BECOMING FARMERS.
Are Breaking All Traditions Of til,
Tribe.

Murdo, 8. D., Oct. S.-While thou
sands of white settlers are arriving
at the new stations along the Pacific
coast extension of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad In South Dakota. and
while they have secured many hun
bred sections of fine farming lands,
when Allotting Agent Gunderson of
the Indian department finished allott-
ing one-fourth of the Sioux reserva-
ton to the Indians the white settlers
realized they had serious competitors
in the red men.
For the first time in the history of
the Sioux Indian nation, the old as
tribe have taken keen interest in
farming and they have selected hun
dreds of farms composed of the best
land in South Dakota. The old -peo-
pie have picked their land mostly
along streams and where there is an
abundance of small timber. but the
young Indians have selected the level
prairie lands. In some instances the
Sioux Indians have taken whole town
ships which the white settlers be-
lieved the Indians would overlook, and
lands coveted by the men and women
who have come from Illinois. Iowa.
Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio have
been given to Indians.
Practically all of the good land In
some localities now belongs to the
Indians. Some of the more advanced
Indians and the mixed bloods have
secured steam traction engines and
the big steam breaking plows, and
thousands of acres will be broken this
fall. The Indians buy the best of
farming machinery and the big steam
plows are the favorite machines for
breaking the fertile prairies. These
plows cost money but the Yankton-
Sioux Indians are in the plutocratic
class. In the past twelve months X.
]. Taylor, United States Indian agent,
has paid them $248,O On September
/ it was learned they had in the banks
of Yankton, Chamberlain and Sioux
Falls $311 ,31012.
The natural tendency of an Indian
is to do work by machinery. A Sioux
Indian loves to investigate the work.

freezer all day. The steam plow Is
play thing as we'll as very profitable
machine for the Indians.

were delicate in color, but at the same
time they had substance, and the rib
bon held them together without SEEM
ing to add too much to the design as
whole. A bureau cover in a con-
ventfonal design done in blue and
white was also most effective with a
pin cushion corresponding in color
and pattern.
In heavier materials Hedebo en-
broidery is popular, although it is not
particularly easy to do. This is as
effective in ecru as in white and one
of the prettiest tea table covers of an
unusually pretty lot was of heavy ecru
linen done in a big design of Hedebo
embroidery, the border formed of
crocheted rings arranged in points.
Many of these tea table covers, by the
way, were ornamented with borders
OF large shaded figures outlined in
coarse silk, not particularly new, but
very striking in appearance and ap-
parently still in favor.
Crewel worsted work in fancy stitch
es is seen on the most hairy OF all
hairy cloths. Heavy lines of it are
worked at the top of flounces and on
the sleeves and collars of small Jack
cts. In such cases designs of leaves
are popular. This crewel worsted
work is broad and heavy, the stitches
being very long. Sometimes the out
lining is done with black and the
filing in with crewel worsted toning
with the color OF the cloth. Another
effective detail of Paris gowns is the
CLEAN here and there OF gold thread
in fancy stitches. On black gowns
especially this is seen as quite new
and gay trimming. The sheaf of
wheat pattern is one of the most at
tractive. 1t is, however, an elaborate
design to undertake, and should be
stamped at some reliable shop before
the filling in with gold thread is be-
gun. For accentuating this design
places are sometimes left for tiny
buttons to be sewed on at intervals.

Needlework Notes.

In re-iyeing any material, either at
home or at the hands of professional,
bear in mind that pale blue fabrics
will take the dye better than those of
any other color.
Always shrink new braid before
sewing to a skirt. In shortening a
skirt pattern, too, always fold a plat
across the middle of the pattern.
Never shorten from the top or bottom
of the skirt, or the shape will be
spoiled.
Shadow work is the name of one
style of fancy stitch which is con-
siderably used on blouses of sheer ma
terial. Chrysanthemums. carnations
and conventional designs are most
suitable for this style of work. The
outline is dexterously followed by
cross-stitching on the wrong side of
the goods, while the close working
together of the threads shows later
through the material as shadow flow
ers OF leaves.
The most sensible pickup work ON
which girl can occupy her time is
the dainty underclothing made every
stitch by hand Pretty eyelet and

require no great outlay of labor and
add great deal to a well-eQuipped

The Organ Contest.

Saturday night at 10 o'clock marked the end of one of the closest contests ever witnessed in this section of the stxte. when the INDEPENDENT awarded q $75 Kimball organ to the most popu- far young lady in Lohoke and Prairie counties. The contest had never grown very interesting until the last week. when the con- teStants and their faiendS began to exert themselves on behalf of their respective favarites. eAll the ground was thoroughly GOV cred, aud every one who had not already subscribed for the INDIE PENDENT was afforded an oppor- iunity to do so.
 As the day approached when the result would become known the interest in the contest grew very spirited, each candidate and hers friends working. hard to curry off the honers-and the KimbaIl. Miss Minnie Coburn, atTombcrlins, who was thought to be almost out of the race, was second, and but for the fact that the telephone lines were down, and it being too far to send a runner here on horseback, she would have been declared the winner, as we have been assured that she held the greatest num- her of votes. The INDEPENDENT is extremely sorry that through an unforeseen and certainly an uncomfortable 1circumstance as the one stated shohld act as a barrier in defeating her great efforts to secure the prize offered. bat. it was explicitly stated by the INnEpsNoEST that a3l. votes in the contest should be sent in tos this office not later than 10 n. Saturday, December 15. z We wish to thank every. one who, by subscribing for the IN, pEpEDENr, has manifested their confidence in it's editor,. until barely six months ago entirely unknown to them. The success of the INDEPENDENT under it's present management has been far beyond all expectations.
