Red Mans Last Stand.
From Harpers Weekly.


At last the white man has started pro-
ceedings which may take its lands from
the only remaining tribe Of Indians which
still inhabits its aboriginal haunts-the
Navajos. One Of the first acts of the
New Mexico legislature, passed within a
few weeks of the admission of the state
to the Union, was a memorial presented
to the President and to Congress in the
latter part of April asking that the vast
acreage now held by the Navajos be
opened to white settlement This is the

Ladies Wanted!
From the London Chronicle.


Women are wanted again in the rural
districts Of the Isle Of Wight. Long ago
the gibe against the island was that 1t did
not produce good horse wise man or
a pretty woman. But Sir John Oglander,
the Stuart worthy who quotes this allega-
ton, carefully adds that 1t was out of
date by his time. In the eighteenth CEN

the beauty and elegance of the farmers
daughters at Newport market. If the Isle
of Wight Is DESTROYS of woman immi-
grants now it has at least partially over
come its old prejudice against "overners'
or "overers' from the mainland.
Will the Isle Of Wight be invaded by
charming French ladies'? 1t certainly
runs that risk If they notice a paragraph
in a Paris paper. 1t is stated that that
"charmante ile' has at the present mo-
ment a good million more men than
women. what terrible disproportion!'
it exclaims. What a paradise for young
ladies who wish to marry! What a
choice" We are sorry to have to say that
the population Of the island is about So

May and Rocks.
From the London Chronicle.

May is by no means "merrfe monefh"
for rocks. because the rookeries are being
thinned to prevent them becoming con-
gested districts. and the ''rook-pie season"
occurs during the middle fortnight. Al.
though rock pie Is peculiarly British
dish, quite unknown on the continent, our
working classes have a prejudice against
this delicacy. probably suspecting some
relationship to the carrion crow. Yet the
rock feeds on much the same fare as a
wood pigeon and the only part OF the
bird eaten is the breast and other tit
bits of the "branchers." or rockets.
which are STEPPED in milk overnight by
the careful cook. My favorite farm la
borer, given some rock pie, devoured the
