TO TEACH INDIANS FARMING.
Model Farm Part of the Plan In
Pacific States.

In connection with the new plan
for administering Indian affairs the
department will ask an appropriation
from the present Congress with which
to establish model farms on all of the
reservations, where agricultural pur-
suits are practicable, says the Port
land Oregonian. 1t is planned to
place these farms in the hands of ex-
pert agriculturists and horticulturists
who will instruct the Indians in all
branches of farming
The department already has taken
steps to deprive the Indian landown-
ers OF direct control of the money de-
rived from renting their holdings to
the white settlers by requiring that
this money be held in trust by the
Indian Commissioner TO be turned
over to the Indians for such improve
ments as are deemed advisable.
This order was made TO suppress
the leasing system on reservations
and TO compel the Indian to cultivate
his own land.

Charles Reade's Method of Work.

Reade's literary work was, Sir Rob-
ert Anderson remarks, a rare combi-
nation OF genius and plodding. A brass
scuttle which stood by the fireplace
held the illustrated and other papers
which reached him week by week.
From these he culled anything that
took his fancy, and the cuttings were
thrown into a companion scuttle to
be afterward inserted in scrap books,
and duly indexed. Materials for his
novels and plays were thus supplied
or suggested. The accuracy Of his de-
scriptions OF events and places was
phenomenal.

SURE NOW NiARS IS PEOPLED
Lowell, Flagstaff Observer. Asserts
He Has Seen the Completion OF
New Canal There.

Chicago Announcement OF final
proof that the planet Mars is inhabit-
ed was made by Professor Percival
Lowell, the famous expert and direc-
tor OF the Observatory of Flagstaff.
Ari7.. to Chicago astronomers as he
passed through the city.
Professor Lowell announced that
he had seen a new canal spring into
being last summer, showing. he said,
tha. IT had just been completed by
the inhabitants. Water had just been
turned into it and vegetation had just
sprung up in a hitherto uninhahitable
part Of the great desert which COM
prises most OF the planets surface.
Not only did he see the new canal,
but he photographed IL. Previous
photographs Of this region. made as
late as last May failed to show any
trace Of the new canal. The fact that
ii developed between May and Sep
terher. when it was first observed,
Professor Lowell regarded as positive
proof that it was artificial, and there
fore. that living beings eaIst on the
neighbor planet
Professor Lowell stopped for a few
hours on his way West and conferred
with Professor $. w. Burnham OF
the Yerkes Observatory. to whom he
made the announcement. The new
canal is ,000 miles long and the strip
Of vegetation on its banks. revealing
its presence to the eye and the cam
era, is about twenty miles wide. 1t
extends southeast from the region Of
vegetation known as Svrtis Major,
through the great plain Of Libya.
Professor Lowell regarded this as
the most important proof yet discov-
cred Of the existence of life on Mars.
The charge that the canals were mere
optical Illusions wHs disproved seven
years ago. when they were photo
graphed for the first time. The dis
covery through the spectrum that wa
ter vapor exists on the planet two
years ago. show ed that life might be
sustained there but the discovery Of
the new canal is final proof, in the
belief Of Professor Lowell, since no
natural cause could change the sur
face of the planet in this way.
Professor Lowell's discovery is of
the utmost importance" said Profes-
sor Burnham. II seems to be the
strongest confirmation yet obtained
of the belief that there are living, in
teligent beings on Mars. His theory,
that the markings on the planet are
canals and that these canals are the
work OF living beings IS the only one
that fits all the known facts"

The delight which a little girl some
times experiences in getting hold of a
doll that belonged to her mother when
she was little girl-a quaint, china
headed and china-haired little crea-
ture. with low neck and short sleeves
and very full ruftled skirts a tame
thing when compared with the feel
inss that any girl must experience
over a doll now in the British Museum.
This doll is almost three thousand
years old
When some Psychologists were ex-
ploring an ancient Egyptian royal
tomb they came upon sarcophagus
containing the mummy of little prin-
cess seven years old. She was dressed
and inferred in a manner befitting her
rank. and in her arms was found lit
tie wooden doll.
The inscription gave the name,
rank and age of the little girl and the
date OF her death. but it said nothing
about the quaint little wooden Egyp-
tian doll This. however, told its own
story. 1t was so tightly clasped in the
arms OF the mummy that IL was evil
dent that the child had died with her
beloved doll in her arms.
The simple pathos of this story has
touched many hearts, after thousands
of years. The doll occupies place
in a glass case in the British Muse
um and there a great many children
have looked at it.-Our Animal

Has Spartan Chamber Where Waves
Dash Against Windows.

London.-When in residence at
Dalmeny it is not often that Lord
Roseberry spends the night under its
roos, for he suffers from insomnia,
and for this reason, some years ago,
he had Barnbogle, a house in the
grounds, rebuilt and arranged for his
accommodation.
Here his bedroom is a very Spartan
chamber with uncovered boards and
narrow camp bedstead, with a window
overlooking the Firth of Forth.
At high tide the waves wash right
up against the tower walls and ter
races, and IN rough weather the spray
dashes against the windows OF his

flee is Praeticod.
Tho belief in witchcraft is still fast
rooted in parts OF India, and the un.
fortunate persons suspected OF the
black art are not uncommonly done
to death.
In Bengal last year several cases OF
the kind came before the courts. In
the Sonthal Parganahs a woman was
murdered by her mother and brother.
who believed her to be a witch.
In Palamau a man was killed, as
the villagers held that he was
wizard. In another case two women
were murdered on the bare suspicion
that they had aused the death of
three children by cholera. Human
sacrifice also is still practiced among
the uncivilized tribes of Bengal.
In Angul some Khonds sacrificed
girl as a propitiatory Offering against
cholera, and in Palamau a boy was
enticed into the jungle and killed as a
sacrifice. There can be little doubt
that any relaxation of vigilance would
result in a serious increase of witch
killing and human sacrifices.

The animals are for college prof

The $4,000 mice are a species of
dormouse, or sleeping mouse, that live
out of doors in the Summer and re-

their great scarcity of numbers. They
are about the size and build of a

the custom of the southern teams.
The lineups follow:
Lowell high-Eloise Stoville and Lois
De Zilbiss, forwards; Marie Bryant,
jumping center; H. Vandenstein, side

BANE'S DEFALCATI0N WILL
NOT INCONVENIENCE CITY

SANTA MONICA, May 26.-The de-
falcation of Ralph Bane, city treas
urer and tax collector, who got away
with nearly $4,000 last month, will not
cause the city to ''go broke" accord
ing to Councilman George D. Snyder,
chairman of the finance committee.
Following Banes departure it was ru-
mored that a big deficit would be
found and the city would be unable to
tide it's affairs over until next fall un-
less a special levy was made. Snyder
declared today there is no danger Of
such a shortage of finances, but on the
contrary the city will have plenty of
money to carry it along.
Another item of $3.50 was found to-
day by the expert working on Bane 5
books. It represents the paying Of
taxes for which receipt was issued,
but which was not credited to the
city on the books, the property being
marked delinquent" Snyder said to-
day that the full report of the expert
will be published as soon as COM
pleted.
