TIE INDIANS PAID.

What the White Men Charged Them
 For Killing One Donkey.
 In "Reminiscences of old Times In Tennessee" a story is told of the good faith and honor Of party of ChIcka- saw Indians. While hunting one fall they shot a donkey, mIstObing the creature for wild animal They sold the hide. and it finally came to the hands of John Barnes iu Lipton.
 When the ChlcEasaws returned to the region of Llpton for their annual hunt the next fall Barnes invited them to a shooting match, the prize to be the skin Of a very rare animal
 Thirty braves appeared at the con- test. and one of them won the prize. When he saw the skin he turned it over and said: 'Hu, hO! Me kill him! Me shoot hlml Seer And he pointed to the fatal bullet hole,
 Then Barnes told them that they had killed donkey, a very useful animal but he was sure that they had done 1t by mistake, believing 1t to be a wild animal
 Tho Indians listened attentively to the white mans words and then con- suited together a few minutes. Finally they separated, each brave going to his pony, uuhitchlug him and leading him to the spot where a gang of white men stood. Barnes in the midst of them. Then one Of the Indians spoke:
 "We sorry We kill donkey. We think he belong to the woods We find him in cane. We think him wild. We sor- ry. Now we pay We take no white mans hoss, pony. nothing of white man. We honest. We have ponies; that's all. Take pay" And he mo- tioncd to the long line of ponies, held by their owners.
 "How many? 2" asked Barnes.
 "White man say" returned the In- dian; take plenty"
 The honor of the red men was not equaled by the white men, for be 1t recorded to their shame, they took from the Chlckasaws thlrty-fve ponies to pay for the accidental killing of one donkey.

CUTICURA A STANDBY
 THAT NEVER FAILS HER

CT just can't say enough for the Cuti- cura Remedies, l can't find words high enough to express my thanks to God for hearing of the wonderful remedies. My baby had a running sore on his neck and nothing that ] did for it took effect until ] used CuticUa. My face was nearly full of letter or some similar skin disease. It would itch and, after scratching, it burned so that ] could hardly stand it Two cakes of Cuti- cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint- ment cured me. Two years after it broke out on my hands and wrist ] cured it for a while, but it came again in the summer. Sometimes l would 20 nearly crazy for it itched so badly. i used ten dollars worth of so-called blood medicines which did no good at an, then went back to my old standby, that had never failed me. One set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent did the work. One set also cured my uncle's baby whose head was a cake of sores and l know of another wOman's baby who was in the same fix and nothing else did any good. l speak a word of praise for Cuticura whenever ] see O case that needs it.

AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way Is Was Described by an
 Educated Native.

The Way Is Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 c. J. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- ciety. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting a re- markable letter in which a native member of the kauElro's brine minis tcr'sl party gives description of the Uganda railway.
 "My friend, | can tell you the Euro peans have done a marvellous thing to make the railway and the trains. They fasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to a fireplace which is as biz as an elephant, and the road 1t goes on is as smooth as the stem of a plantaln. It goes as fast as a swal- low flying, and cvcrythi g you see out side fits past you like @ spark from a fire. If it were to drop or one of the bridges not one in 1t would be saved, for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills 1t passes are as high as those of Hokl, and they have bridged over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami- rembo, so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them"
 Later there follows a description of a ship: Tt is as deep as our two sto- ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo, and 1t is as long as from the kadklro's fence to the gate of the kings incIosure. It has three tall poles iQ 1t and a big throat, out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mlrembo. The rooms in 1t go down three stories, and the boards of these I cannot describe to you, for such have not been seen before. There Is a lot of metal work about them, too, but these also l cannot describe, for 1t is so fine. There are children on board and a flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where chief sleeps. such as even our king has never possessed. ."-London Strand Magazine.

old Book Terms.

The words folio, Quarto octavo, duo decimo and the like have almost if not quite lost their original meaning. At first they had reference only to the number of leaves into which the sheets used in making the books were folded. Thus if these sheets were folded once so as to turm two leaves or four pages the book was called a folio; if tho sheets were folded twice so as to form four leaves the book was called a quartO; if they were folded four times so as to form eight leaves the book was called an octave, and so on.

Blessings OF ldleness.

Perpetual devotion to what a man
calls his business is only to be sus-
tained by perpetual neglect OF many
other things. And 1t is not by any
means certain that a mans business
is the most important thing he has to
do. To an impartial estimate It will
seem clear that many OF the wisest.
most beneficent parts that are to be
played upon the theater OF life are
filled by gratuitous performers. and
pass among the world at large as
phases OF idleness. For in that the
ater not only the working gentlemen,
singing chambermaids and dIligent
hddlers in the orchestra. but those
who look on and clap their hands from
the benches. do really play a part and
fill important Offices toward the gen.

SUMMER SPAY FOR ORCHARD
PLANT LICE

II any OF the orchard plant lice
have been allowed 10 hatch upon the
trees, IL is important that they should
be destroyed before the winged broods
appear, TO enable the lice To scatter
about from tree to tree, and orchard
to orchard. Very few Of the winged
lice appear before the last week in
May or the tirst OF June. Before that
time, and the sooner the better, the
infested trees should be sprayed with
some one OF the applications that are
deadly tn plant lice.
Perhaps the best 0f all is BLACK
Leaf Extract" used In the proportion
OF one part OF the extract to each 20
parts OF water. Those who are in the
habit OF making kerosene emulsion
will find this equally etfectual, II the
spray Is rs strong as one part Uf oil t.
fourteen parts OF water Whale oil
soap, in the proportion OF one pound
10 each six or eight gallons OF water,
will also Kill all the lice that are
thoroughly treated with II.
For the destruction OF any Of tn,
plant lice IL Is necessary thoroughly
to wet their bodies with the spray.
To do this it is important To- makr
