Death of a Big Chief

Among recent deaths is that of Red
Cloud, who died a the Pine Ridge
agency, aged between so and 80. He
was one of the strongest characters
that the race of American Indians ever
Produced; man quite as great as
Osceola or Joseph Brant. This is not
saying that he was not treacherous
and cruel after the Indian fashion. He
was leader of his race and he had
all that races faults as well as it's viz
tues. Though cruel and merciless in
war he had some noble qualities. The
late w H. H. Murray, who knew the
chief well and had spent much time
witch him, used to say that if he were
to select his model OF great gentle
man he should name Red Cloud.
Red Cloud was bitterly opposed to
the building of the Union Pacific rail-
road. because he said it would destroy
the hunting grounds. When it was de-
cided to build the road he made
speech in which he said; You may
take my country, but | will mark
every mile of your road from North
Platte to the Yellowstone with the
dead bodies of your soldiers" and he
came near keeping his word Finally
our government forcibly deposed this
relentless chief and induced the tribe
to accept Spotted Tail in his place.
Spotted Tail was as able man as
Red Cloud. hut he was all for peace
while the voice of Red Cloud was al

Piano Practice

Ny IL year old boy complained that
practicing al the piano made his back
ache, said DR.. Warren Davis. Investi-
cation showed that when properly seat
ed on the piano stool his feet were sew
eral inches from the floor. This position
used the muscles of the back in sup
porting the weight of limbs in such
way that the lumbar region (small of
the back) was thrown backward, caus-
ing the upper portion of the spine to be
thrown forward in an endeavor to
equalize. the weight Of the body. thus
reversing the normal condition of the
spine. The remedy is so simple that no
parent can afford to neglect the condi
ton. A footstool just high enough u
place the thighs in nearly horizontal
position when the child is properly
seated on the piano stool will entirely
overcome the tired back" condition.

Cleaning School Books

The fact that sanitary experts and
physicians prove that many diseases
are spread by germs conveyed from
hand to hand in schoolbooSs has led to
a remarkable and ingenious sdisinfeet-
ing and cleaning plant in France. says
Popular Mechanics. 1t consists of
machine which sucks all the dust from
the leaves and bathes them in a dis
infectant and a great drier in which
they are subjected to hot air.
A strong current of air Is driven
through the dust removing machine,
and this separates the leaves OF the
books and sucks the dust from them.
1t also passes them through the long,
funnel like device in which they are
given the disinfectant bath After this
treatment the books are placed on
racks in the drier and left there until
the hot air effectually accomplishes
it's work
1t would seem that such treatment
would ruin book. but volume comes
out of it, as far as binding, shape and
legfbility are concerned, in as good
condition as it went in and minus the
death dealing germs.

Habits of Seals

The habits of seals are very inter-
esting. The very young seal is help
less in the water until he is taught by
his mother to swim. She takes him
into the water daily on her fin and
dumps him in and when he gets tired
of f1oundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are well grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals No one
knows where they go, and their return
is equally as sudden as their departure.
The bulls are the first to. put in an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare camp for their mates
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die, In the mean
time the female seals remain quite a
distance from land, floating lazilyi on
the water and seemingly having a
good time

When Matches Were Intro
duCed
duced

The Atlas, London newspaper,
published on January 10, 1890. the fol-
lowing paragraph under the head Of
instantaneous Light: .Among the
different methods invented for obtain
ing light instantaneously ought GER
tainly to be recorded that of Mr.. Walk
er. chemist, stockton on Tees. He
supplies the purchaser with prepared
matches which are put into boxes, but
are not liable to change in the atmos-
phere, and also with a piece of fine
glass paper folded in two. Even a
strong blow will not inhame the
matches because of the softness of the
wood underneath, nor does rubbing upon
wood or any common substance pro-
duce amy effect except that of spelling
the match. But when one is pnched
between the folds of the glass paper
and suddenly drawn out it is instantly
infiamed. Mr.. Walker does not make
them for extensive sale. but only to
supply the small demand in his own
neighborhood."

important Railroad Invention

An invention intended to prevent
collisions on railways was lately tested
with great success. Two trains, without
engineers or passengers were started
toward each other on the same track.
To all appearances the locomotives
must collide with crash. But as they
neared each other they slowed down
and came to full stop at safe dis
tance This was repeated many times
with the same result.
In this invention a third rail car
ries a current of electricity, which
when two trains enter the same two
mile block. automatically closes the
throttle and applies the air brakes
Even if both engineers should be
asleep at their posts the trains would
stop. The same third rail can be used to
telephone or telegraph from one train
to another.

The Life of a Big Gun

In his testimony before the house
committee Rear Admiral Mason recent
ly estimated the life of an eight inch
gun at 200 rounds. AS first constructed
the IL inch gun began to deteriorate by
erosion at 80 rounds. but by reducing
the velocity and using a broader copper
rifling band it's life has been extended
to about $50 rounds. After $50 rounds
it would be necessary to refine the gun
at cost of $4,000, which is about a
fourth the first cost of the gun.

What West Point Does For Its
Cadets

What West Point does for its cadets
is precisely this: 1t takes its youth at
the critical period of growth; it iso
lates them completely for nearly four
years from the vicious influences that
corrupt young manhood and from the
atmosphere of commercialism; it pro-
vides absorbing employment for both
mental and physical activities; it sur
rounds them with exacting Responsible
tiles. high standards and exalted ira
ditions of honor and integrity. and it
demands rigid accountability for
every moment of their time and for
every voluntary action. 1t offers them
the inducements of an honorable ca
reer and a sufficient competence as a
reward of success, and it has impera-
tive authority for the enforcement of
it's conditions and restraints.-Colonel

Ant Eaters

Ant eaters are in the curious position
Of being practically unable to open
their mouths. 1T may almost be said
indeed. that they have no mouths to
open. There is just a small, round ori-
flee at the end of the snout, through
which about two feet of wormlike
tongue can wriggle out, and as this
tongue is bathed with liquid glue in
stead of saliva, every ant which it
touches adheres to it, and the animal
licks the Insects up by hundreds at a
time.

The secret place of the Most High

place, this safe and sure refuge, this

place where no pestilence of the night

HUMAN LIFE MADE BEAUTIFUL
In Just That Whatsoever We Do Is
Done Unto God, and Service
Becomes Royal.

Life is strong and peaceful If what
soever we do is done unto God. Life
connected with God is sublimely beau
tiful and inspiring. Human applause
or dissent should die away below ones
feet. 1t is splendid thing to detach
oneself from all bondage to men. sub
hitting self constantly to God. The
life of Christian will be TRANSPORTED
in proportion as the apostolic injunc-
ton is needed, living mot eye-service
as men-pleasers, but in singleness of
heart unto Christi" this brings life
into living touch with the great foun-
tain of all life. A man-pleasing life is
servitude and brings corroding care
and chatting anxiety. Living In con-
slant fellowship with God and COM
hitting ones work unto him, brings
an Astounding and an abiding peace,
and precious assurance that the life
flows on in endless song" Such a
life is TRANSPORTED, and in its influence
will be a benediction to all whom 1t
touches. Paul declared: For me to
live is Christ" That was his pur-
pose and goal. It TRANSPORTED his life.
Human life has Godward and a
MAYNARD relation. When its deep un-
der current flows Godward, it lends
dignity to all other relations, and It
becomes sublime; even in its lowliest
phases, service will not be mental or
common or desecrating. All phases
Of life are under the TRANSFERRING
power of grace and the Illuminating
influences of the Holy Spirit. All is
on Gods altar and is sacred unto the
Lord, so that the whole life Is sac
ramental. This thought and exper-
fence gives to the most ordinary life
divine honor and permanent rest and
delight, as well as permanent value.
Every service becomes royal and
every influence inspirational.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-01-29
Nv JULIA BoTToMLEY.


All fabrics, whether selected for
mourning, should be Of good, substan-
tial quality. All styles or modes Sc
lected should be quiet and unobtru-
sive and all workmanship faultless.
Gowns and coats should be made in
the mode but not in any extreme of
the mode. Simplicity of trimming
lends distinction to mourning ap-
parel, as we'll as finish" and in this
word is held the secret of the most
elegant and desirable results in the
making of mourning clothes. Every
thing must be beautifully finished and
trimmings are most appropriate when
they are placed to really or apparent
ly finish the article which they adorn
A well made, plain gown of good
material will last out the term of
mourning If one follows the conven-
tional rules which govern in this mat
ter of time. A well made hat of
properly selected material will out
last the prescribed term of mourning
Poor taste in dress or conduct is
never so inexcusable as when one Is
in mourning. Our friends are not
charitable when we make mistakes;
they cannot be. Our mistake must be
credited either to carelessness or den
sity.
Certain fabrics have come to be rec
ognized as belonging to and signify
ing mourning. Grape is appropriate
for deep mourning, that is, mourning
for near relative, and should be used
in millinery and as a finish for gowns.
Nothing else can take it's place Next
to Grape. silk grenadines are oftenest
chosen. Nuns yelling, uncut velvet
mourning silks and other fabrics hav-
Ing deep. soft luster in pure black
are available. but Grape Is, for first
mourning, as nothing else is.
Three fine examples Of mourning
hats are shown here. They are from
an establishment which makes a spe-
cial feature of this class of millinery.
It's best examples are found in Amer
lea as the best fabrics are made in
England.
In Fig. l round hat which is part
turban and part toque in outline is
very neatly covered with Grape and
has the brim finished with tiny rows
of folds set very close together. A
beautiful Grape veil is draped about
the hat and falls from the back in fiat
plaits. An ornament of dull jet fast
ems the veil to the hat and serves to
finish this excellent example of a hat
for deep mourning.
An exquisite hat made Of Grape folds
is shown in Fig. 2. Its only decora-
ton is large, beautifully made ro-
settle also made of folds, placed at the
left side. This is worn without a veil,
for wells are not worn by all members
of family in mourning.
For those who wear mourning for
an indefinite time, silk grenadine is
usually chosen after the first mourn
ing of Grape has been discarded Some
people wear it from the start and
there is enough latitude in the matter
to allow one to do this. Fig. 8 illus
trates beautiful hat and veil of this
charming fabric. The edge of the hat
is finished with a ruffle made of a mar
row gauge ribbon with border woven
in. A similar double ruf11e is placed
about the top crown. The veil is laid
in folds and draped about the hat,
falling from the back. 1t has a woven

me be on my guard against the Sc
auctions of the devil. Let me not be
ensnared to lower and cheaper the
moral ideal Let me remember that
my peril is never so grave as when

it may be that time for obedience has

With what majestic patience our Mas
ter waited for the hour to strike!

too often spoil our labor by rash and
precipitate action. Your hour is al

ent restraint. We anticipate the
clock But when the hour does strike
then let me do the will with imme-
diate and answering obedience. Yes.
let me set out ION the tick of the
clock" And let no one make me
bulge from my sacred mission.
And whosoever shall do the will of
God is of royal lineage, one of the
intimate relations of the Lord Jesus.

cause we are his kinsmen in the
spirit. We are tuned to the same
pitch. And we shall be able to under
stand him as he is able to understand
us. Then shall l know even as also
I am known" There will be perfect
correspondence between the soul and

hat of this material
Time was when Grape and grena-
dimes were luxury Of the rich, for
they were as fragile as they are
beautiful. The process of cravenet-
ting them has SO changed this that
they are now among the most durable
of all fabrics manufactured. Their
fbers are practically impervious to
water. Rain runs through but is not
absorbed by them. In selecting the
material it should be tested, otherwise
it will be impossible for the purchaser
to be sure of getting the waterproofed
variety. Water is ruinous to the fab

Positive Goodness Essential.

There Is no good in the goodness
that is only innocence Of evil. When
ever a life is given over to negation.
to the sole aim Of being absolutely
free from all wrong, 1t always finds
that as soon as it Is rid of sin in one
form the old enemy is entering in a
dozen new ways. There is no good
ness save positive goodness. The
only way to overcome evil Is to put
the whole life into the pursuit Of the
good.
The life Of faith Is living in loyalty
to faith in LIES best, in Its higher
values. This is the faith we need to
nourish, faith in the righteousness OF
the universe, faith In goodness, truth,
honor, and right as over and against
lust and meanness, falsehood, and
cowardice. He only has the truth who
dares be true to the vision he has,
who lives in the freedom of his light.
