taic CELL" That seems to be the
most unreasonable one of all OF
them. 1t is not probable that one
teacher out of hundred has ever
been in prison and they are not in
position to know anything at all
about the cells used therein, whether
voltaic or otherwise. Why teach
er should be expected to know OF
things that really belong to matters
pertaining to prison reform is more
than the average individual can ex-
plain.
The above questions taken from
the list will serve to give the read
er an idea of the questions that are
asked of people who have desire
to teach the youth of the land. The
answers to the questions will give
to the examiners an idea OF how
much the candidate knows about
the subject. Really, the physics list
in this examination is indeed very
reasonable one and any person who
has even given any study to this
subject at all should experience no
difficulty in securing a creditable
grade in the subject.

Digger the Badger Hears
What Happened.

Digger the Badger lives very much

is Digger the Badger. You will sell
dom find him far from his own door
step. In this respect he is much like
Johnny Chuck. To be sure. he has TO
go a little farther away from home
than does Johnny because he doesn't
live wholly on plants as does Johnny,
who always can find something to eat
right in his own dooryard. Digger has
to do a little hunting. But excepting
when he is out hunting you viii find
him either in his house or very near it.
Ever since he had come to live on
the Green Meadows the other little
queer fellow. The littlest ones were
afraid of him. The others politely
called on him a first. He was very
polite, but he didn't invite them to
call again and made it quite clear that
he wasn't at all lonely, and so they
left him very much to himself which,
II the truth be known, very much suit
ed him. He wasn't abroad a great deal
in the daytime, preferring to do his
hunting after dark. like some others
we know of. The result was that his
neighbors didn't know A great deal
about him. The only real neighborly
neighbor he had was Old Man Coyote.
In fact, they were quite friendly. Peter
Rabbit was sure that he had seen
them hunting together. But you know
Peter is forever seeing things. 1t may
have been that they were simply out
to take the air together. IT certainly
would seem queer for such a long
legged fellow and such a short-legged
fellow to go hunting together. Still
you never can tell.
Jimmy Skunk happened around once
in while, just to pass the time of
day Jimmy early discovered that Dig
ger is a cousin Of his. although there
is little family resemb lance. Ever since
then he has felt ii matter of duty to
drop around once in while for a chat
He did this the day after his wild ride
down hill in a barrel and told Digger
all about il. Digger laughed until his
fat sides shook. Then. when Jimmy
told him about what had happened to
Peter Rabbit and how he had been kept
prisoner in the old house of Johnny
Chuck by the Yellow-Jackets. which.
you know, are a kind of hornet or
wasp. he sat up and took notice.
Did you say that those Yellow
Jackets are In that old house of
Johnny Chuck's?'' he asked.
Just inside the doorway" replied
Jimmy. They've got home there.

the use of Spanish place-names when

them or using the old Tewa equiva-

in the presence of Mexicans they are
said to be especially careful not to
use any Spanish words. lest they be

tended to preserve their language.

TELLS CURIOUS BELIEFS
OF THE TEWA INDIANS
Bureau of American Ethnology Is
sues Pamphlet Dealing With
Their Methods of Living.
Aborigines of New Mexico Have
Peculiar Ideas of Cosmography
and Religion.

The bureau of American ethnology,
which makes special study of the
American Indians. has just issued a re-
port including an interesting paper
on the geographical knowledge of the
Tewa Indians of the upper Rio Grande
New Mexico. The Indians belong to
the Tanoan linguistic family. and at
present about 1900 of them occupy
five villages on the Rio Grande, San
Juan, Santa Clara. San Ildefonso
Nambe and Tesuque, and one among
the Hopi pueblos Of northeastern
Arizona, known as Hano.
AS described by the author, John
Peabody Harrington, the Tewa pos
with the cosmos. the symbolism of
natural phenomena. and their periods
of time, as well geographical and
neurological nomenclature.
After dealing briefly with the phonet-
les of the Tewa language, the author
take up the subject of cosmography
as the Indians themselves understood
it. They distinguished six cardinal di-
recitions or regions; north. west, south.
east, above and below, attached to each
of which there were series Of symbols
such as colors, persons, animals. plants
and inanimate objects. For example.
the north has the allied color OF blue
or green, the mountain lion as car
dinal animal, the eagle as the bird. and
Bear mountain as an inanimate OBJECT
assigned to it. To these people the
sky, which was personif1ed and literal
ly called Sky Old Man." was supposed
to be the husband of the earth, which
was called Earth Old Woman. The
Tewa had names for the sun and moon
also. as well as for many stars and
