HOW ARROW HEADS ARE MADE

r Now, the Indian men had guns land seldom used the bow and arrow, but the boys, who had rarely any thing else with which to shoot, were |constantly practicing with them. The Istone heads for the arrows were made by the women, and Dr Bishop finally became curious to know how 1t was done. This he could not learn, and after being put off by the men and women with various explanations which meant but little, he became quite angry. He caught up his horse, and, standing with the riata
 in his hand, addressed the tribe or such of them as were present. He reminded them that he had always
 been their friend; that he had helped them in sickness and had procured
 them supplies from the Great Father when they were starving, and now as he could get no satisfactory answer to a simple question he would wash his hands of them; he would leave them and never return.
 This speech, which was evidently
 made in earnest, caused a commotion among the people, and the result was that every pains was taken to show him all they knew about the manu- fracture of stone implements. They first were careful to select such stones las were of straight grain ,and in par
 ticular that would work with fire and
 water. The only implements he saw in use were small twigs, one of which
 was split at the end and was used to hold the stone to or In a small fire lafter this had been kindled. They had water at hand. and having brok-
 en or selected a fragment of. stone such as would answer their purpose. they placed it in the cleft of the split
 stick and gradually heated it until 1t
 was hot enough to suit the arrow maker. Then the stone was removed from the fire. the end of another twig first dipped in water quickly applied, And part of the stone would scale Io6 where the wetted stick had touch- ed 1t.
 This process was repeated again and again until the heated stone be- gan to assume the, form desired, when the applications of the stick became more gradual and exact and the |moistened end of the finger was some times used instead .-Forest and '8dokWs --
