A PROBLEM IN PICTURES.
And the Peculiar Coincidence b,
Which 1t Was Solved.

And the Peculiar Coincidence by
Which 1t Was Solved.
Some years ago a. publishing house
was preparing ito issue new edition
OF the writings of Thoreau, writes
Charles S. Olcott in Art and Progress.
The head of the house and a member
Of his staff were in consultation abo At
the method Of illustration. 1t was
agreed that the pictures must be true
TO: nature, but how to get them was
the problem. Artists who do book H.
Illustrating could not be expected to 20
into the woods and make pictures
which would in any way assist the
text to reveal nature as Thoreau saw
1t. Photographs would be admira BILE.
but where was the professional photog-
rapher to be found who would under
take to go into Thoreau's country in
sunshine and rain, in summer and win
ter, to catch all the phases of nature
which Thoreau recorded in his flour
nal?'
While the two men pondered a caller
sat in the outer Office with large port
folio under his arm. Five years before
he had read Thoreau's journal" and
had taken up his residence in Concord
that he might visit the scenes there
described. In all seasons and all kinds
Of weather he had wandered through
the woods and over the fields with
his camera. Passionately fond Of ma
ture, he was no less devoted to art.
To him photography was a pastime.
1t was not his profession. For the
pure love of nature and Of art and
with no thought OF pecuniary gain he
had accomplished the very feat which
the two business men had thought so
difficult, and by curious coincidence
he appeared at the Office to exhibit
the result of his work at the precise
moment when its desirability was be-
ing discussed.

Indians in Sorry PLIGHT.

Major Howard, government agent
at White Earth, recently reported to
the Indian bureau that an investiga-
tion of conditions among the Indians
at Mile Laos lake showed that the
sons of the forest were in sorry
plight. He found them destitute and
Immediately issued ten days. rations.
He recommended to the Indian
bureau that they be taken care of
until the wild rice harvest, which
comes the latter part of August. He
also advised that further efforts to
remove these Chippewas to White
Earth be abandoned. Congressman
Miller will endeavor to secure an
appropriation for the maintenance of
these Indians or else to buy land for
them in the lake country so that
they may become self-supporting.

BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom Of Japanese Prior to
= Year GAG A. D.

Horrible Custom Of Japanese Prior to
Year 646 A. D.
Prior to the year 646 A. D. the Japa-
nese had one of the most horrible bur-
ial customs that can be imagined-that
Of burying all the immediate friends
and retainers Of prince or other per-
son of note in a standing position
around the potentate's grave and leav-
ing them in the earth up to their necks
to perish of thirst and hunger.
The custom cannot be said to have
been general as late as the date given,
for the Japanese records prove that in
the time Of the Emperor Suinin $3.50
B. c. the burial rites of royal person
ages were so modified as to partially
abolish former crueltes. Speaking of
a young brother Of Suinin. who died
and had his retinue buried standing
around his grave. the old record says:
For many days they died not, but
wept and cried aloud. At last they
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate off their heads. The emperor's
compassion was aroused, and he de-
sired to change the manner Of burial.
When the empress died. soon after, the
mikado inquired of his officers if some
thing in the way of a change could
not be suggested. and one proposed to
make clay figures Of men and bury
them as substitutes
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by
an edict issued in the year GAG A. D..
the date given first above, which for
babe the burial of living persons and
provided penalty for further adher-
ence to the awful rite.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Old Time Personally Conducted To,

Old Time Personally Conducted Tour.
The campanile looked down upon the
first agencies for conducted tours of
which we have record. Five hundred
years ago Venice controlled the pilgrim
traffic to the Holy Land, and quite a
number Of firms made a good thing Of
it. They had their Offices in st. Marks
square, with all the apparatus Of ad-
vertisement hoardings, flags and COM
missionaries. The contract stipulated
how much space aboard a ship and
what food each pilgrim was to get,
and the agents undertook not merely
to carry the pilgrim across the sea, but
to conduct him personally to Jerusalem
and to take over all negotiations with
the officials. For the whole journey
the charge was 25 to 30 ducats, third
to be paid before starting, a third in
Palestine and third after returning
h0me.-Manchester Guardian.

Over &c. 900 Harvest Hands Needed.

M. G. Leedy, general immigration
agent for the Great Northern rail-
way, estimates that $4,000 men will
this year be necessary to harvest the
grain in Minnesota, North Dakota
and Montana. He bases this esti-
mate on reports received upon re-
quest by him from all sections of
these states. Minnesota, he says,
will require $40 harvest hands,
North Dakota $3.50 and Montana
$50, and the average wages will be
$3.50 a day. This is the largest
number on record.
Crop conditions in the three states
are nearly perfect and prospects for
an enormous grain harvest were
never better, according to reports re-
ceived by the Great Northern. The
grain is growing thick and heavy on
an unprecedented acreage.
