Origin of the Pumpkin

1t is hardly to be supposed that or

In this country nor for many years fol-
lowing there was preparation Of
menu Of the feasting on the day OF ceIe-
bration. And it is quite certain that
the vfands enjoyed were simply excel
lent preparations by capable house
wives OF the list OF the articles that
each prOvider possessed.
All people were producers TO some
extent in the early days. growing
their crops in field or garden from
seeds brought chiefly from the British
isles Among such seeds were those
of the pumpkin. 1t was cooked in va
rious forms, the most favored of which
was that of pies. the addition of the
pastry making the dish more substan-
tial and satisfying Apple and other
tree fruit culture had not been intro
duced in this country then and was not

Surgeon and Alligator

A novel surgical operation took place
recently on an alligator in Bostock's
jungle, in London, the menagerie's
veterinary surgeon officiating. The alli-
gator in question had been attacked by
another alligator. and had suffered a
compound fracture of the lower jaw
After the wound had been sterilized a

under surface of the lower jaw. The
spIint was held in position by means

WITH THE SHORT STORY
Where Does the Night Go?

" IAS4S -A(O1O uI1C ~ ~ .
Where does the night go?" asks the
baby.
where does the night go when it's
day?"
And the merry brown eyes are deep
with wonder,
And the mischievous hands have for
gotten their play.
Where does the night go. little dream
rover,
Where does the night go when it's
day?
over the roofs, and the fields, and the
river,
over the hintops and far away.
The night and the stars they went to-
gether;
And the baby's dream. they. too. are
gone;
And they'll not come back till my little
dream rover
Is snug in her nest with the curtains
drawn. Edith NJ Thomas.

The Young Woman and the City.

James l.. Ford. in Success Magazine.
 The young woman who comes to New York in the same spirit that took Dick Wilmington to London, the same spirit in which young men have been pour ing into the great centers of the world from time immemoral, labors under many disadvantages, not the least Of which is the fact that in nine cases out of 10 she has not been brought up to earn her living; for New York is no place for the idle young woman who has no thorough knowledge of any thing, though it offers infinite possi- biIities to those who have integrity and industry and have been at pains to fit themselves for the struggle for existence.
 But the custom of having the daugh- ters as well as the sons of a moderate ly well-to-do family go out into the world in search of a livelihood is of such recent origin that parents and elders have not yet learned to take it as matter of course; and I have no doubt that at this very moment thous- ands of mothers, aunts, and grand mothers are wearing their hears out with anxiety over the pet of the family, who having absorbed some of the mod ern spirit at the college to which sno was sent to study botany, moral phil osophy, and the folklore of Greenland, has calmly announced her intention of going to New York to gain her bread, perhaps in company with a college mate whose views of life are similar to her OWn

it drew about 10000 persons from

was far less than that of jamestown.

Are you going to help us with

Disposition of the Lands.

Disposition of the Lands.
Tn disposition or use of the re-
naming portions of the public do
mainmain demands the most earnest
and careful consideration. The time
has come when we can no longer
safely permit the unrestricted acqui-
sition by private individuals of the
public dOmOin for purposes other
than homesteads.
The SHOWS and water in the great
mountain ranges of the west contain
power enough to turn millions of
wheels, to irrigate millions of acres,
to furnish water supply to hundreds
of cities. If these waters are permit
ted to be acquired by private inter-
ests then generations TO come will
pay tribute for the use of water
water which should be preserved as
public utility, not a private privi-
lege.
Indian Land Question.
1t is idle to suppose that it is
either possible or wise to prevent
such disposition of the Indian lands
in those areas where the lands are
needed for agricultural development
and men are ready and anxious to
develop them. The duty of the gov
eminent is to see that the opening
when made is conducted with fair
ness to the Indian owners. 1t is not
surprising that in the great majority
of cases the Indians object to the
opening and to the allotment of in
dividual tracts. 1t is impossible for
the Indians to suddenly, or even in
a few years. discard the training of
generations and accept the idea OF
individual ownership of land, which
the white race has developed after
hundreds of years OF civilization.
