Country Landscapes.

The inhabitants of cities suppose
that the country landscape is pleasant
only half the year. please myself
with the graCes of the winter scenery
and | believe that we are as much
touched by it as by the genial in
huences of summer. To the attentive
eye, each moment of the year has its
own beauty, and in the same field it
beholds, every hour, a picture which
was never seen before, and which
shall never be seen again. The heav-
ems change every moment, and reflect
their glory or gloom on the plains be-
meath. The state of the crop in the
surrounding farms alters the express
sion of the earth from week to week.
The succession of native plants in the
pastures and roadsides, which makes
the silent clock by which time tells
the summer hours, will make even the
divisions Of the day sensible to keen
observer. The tribes of birds and in
sects, like the plants punctual to their
time, follow each other, and the year
has room for all-Emerson.

RAVAaES OF BLACK DEATH"
Buboulo Plague, Proved to Have Been
TRANSMITTED by Rat and Flea, 10
Being Controlled.

Bubonic plague is one OF the oldest
enemies of mankind and Il used TO be
called the black death on account Of
the black spots that came on the body
during the disease,
II Is now supposed that many of the
great plaques of history we're OF the
bubonic variety and thousands died
during each great epidemic. Even in
comparatively recent times 10000 died
OF 1t In Bombay, India,
As is now we'll known, the disease
is a rat disease, and as soon aa the
mode OF transmission became known
It was studied and is now controlled
Gays an exchange,
Bubonic plague is transmitted by
the rat fiea-the rat being the first
host, as scientists say.
The attack is an acute infection,
caused by a special germ given by the
bite of flea, in precisely the same
way as both malaria and yellow fever
are transmitted by mosquitoes.
This special kind OF flea seems TO
prefer the rat as a place OF attack,
although in California this same kind
of flea is found on ground squirrels.
Bubonc plague is fatal to the rats
themselves and when a rat dies the
fleas at once attach themselves to
some other living animal. apparently
preferring either cats or dogs TO hu'
man beings In fact. the finding of
an unsual number of dead rats in any
place where bubonic plague is sus.
pected is one of the 1rst indications
of its possible presence.
Now, while there are known to be
several kinds of rats, the black and
the brown are the most common.
Brown rats live in cellars, while
black ones seem to prefer to live in
the parts of a house above the ground
floor. Bubonic plague often breaks
out in seaport towns, being brought
there by rats in cargoes Of grain. We
know that the ancients knew bubonic
plague and suffered terribly from its
ravages, and the fact that the cat was
held by the Egyptians as a sacred ami
NAL is traced to the protection from
rats afforded to houses where cats
were kept
The disease commences with a
raging fever, headache and complete
prostratiou, and small dark spots ap-
pearing upon the skin. These spots
were called plague spots. Buboes or
swellings in the region of the groin
appear. 1t is extremely malignant
and recovery is very rare, mortality
reaching so or 80 per cent
Inoculations reduce the chances Of
subsequent infection four-tfths, and
include the chance Of recovery.
The great fire in London in 1866 de.
stroyed thousands of infected rats and
thus relieved England of the bubonic
plague, which had been very frequent
there since 1850.

Just after the Ciyil war the consoli'
dated tribes sold their Kansas land
and emigrated to Indian territory,
where they were known as Peorias,
AT that time the Piankashaws mum
bered something less than one hun
dred. There are just two of them left
and both were counted among the Ok
lahoma Indians. The Piankashaw
was one of the few tribes whose male
members could become citizens Of the
United States by treaty stipulation.
In Indiana the census enumerators
found two Weas and in Oklahoma two
more; the remnant OF this sub-tribe
OF the Miami Indians and neighbors Of
the Piankashaws. They first were
mentioned by the Jesuit fathers as
living in eastern Wisconsin, but there
we're Wea towns on the st. Joseph
river in northern Indiana. Pere Mar
quette found a Wea town on the pres.
ent site OF Chicago, and they were
there in 1901 when Courtemanche pad.
died up the creek which now is the
Chicago river. The Weas seemed TO
have been naturally scrappy, for they
always were in trouble with the white
pioneers, and in 1871 United States
troops cleaned out a number of their
villages. In 1920 they moved, with the
Piankashaws, into Illinois and then
Kansas, and they, too, stipulated in
their peace treaty with the govern
ment that their males could become
citizens.
Some of the tribes whose names
were frequently mentioned in the
quaint reports of colonial times and
who gave the heroes and herOines to
the early writer's of romantic Indian
tales, now are represented by mere
handfuls, some OF them living far
from the homes of their ancestors.
Thus, Of the Mohawks there are only
1868 on the census rolls; the Cayugas
number but 81; the Mohegans have
dwindled to %; the Montauks to %;
the Narragansets to a paltry l6; the
Pamunkeys to SO; the Pequots to &c;
the POwhatans to 13l; the Passama-
quoddies to 1868; the ChickahOminies
to lis: the Catawbas to 1874; the Shin
necocks to 1877; and the Penobscots to
266. But there are still 9l4 Della
wares; 2,438 Oneidas; 2,9O7 Senecas;
533 Stockbridges; and 400 Tusca-
roras.
The figures given in the report of
the commissioner of Indian affairs do
not agree with the census figures, tor
the commissioner shows a steady in
crease in Indian population from 22S,-
900 in 1890 to 297O23 in 1910. The In
dams are divided into 2S0 tribes com
prising 50 linguistic stocks. The most
important tribes, numerically, are the
Cherokee, with 31,4S9 members; the
Navajo, with 22,455; the Chippewa,
with 2O,214; the Choctaw, with 1917,
and the Teton Sioux, with 14,2S4.
other tribes have over
! 900 members each.
Arthur c. Parker, a Seneca Indian,
state ethnolOgist of New York and
editor of the Quarterly Journal Of the
Society of American Indians, in the
last issue of the Journal analyzed the
census report under the title, The

United States Indian census report
which was issued recently. The Poo

very verge of extinction. OF the Poose-
patuck, an Algonquian tribe, which
was one OF the thirteen found by the
white men on Long lslald, there is
but one lone relic, an Indian living
somewhere in the state of New York.
The PoOsepatucks once occupied the
Long Island shore from Patchogue to
the Shinnock country. In 1866 Chief
TObaCCus was given a reservation of
90 acres on Forge river near Mastic,
Long Island, and in 1892 Elizabeth Joe,
the tribes woman sachem and it's last
chief, died In 1890 the tribe num-
bered ten families. governed by three
trustees, and in 1910, the last census
year, the government nose hunters
could lind but one Poosepatuck left.
In Virginia the census enumerators
found the last of the tribe Of the Mat
tarony, the red men whom doughty old
Capt John Smith, he who was saved
by POCahOntas, called the Malta
pament." This was one of the smaller
tribes Of the powerful PowhatJan con-
federacy and the jamestown colonists
heard their war whoops and the whis-
tie Of their arrows. In 1906 the Mat
tapOny lived on the MattapOny river
in Virginia, and when Thomas Jeffer-
son wrote about them in his Notes
on Virginia" in 1925, the tribe mum
bered only 20 souls, most Of them
largely of negro blood and closely re-
lated to the Pamunkey tribe Of Vir-
gnia.
Connecticut could show but one
member of the historical Mantle tribe
when the Indian census was taken.
Back in the days when the Puritans
Cuarreled with the Manhattan Dutch
over the fertile acres along the Con
necticut river, the Niantics lived on
the Connecticut coast, subject to the
Pequots who nearly exterminated the
tribe in the Pequot war of 1887. Their
victors placed the Niantlcs under the
rule of the Mohegans. Colonial his
tory records the fact that in 1888 there
we're about hundred Niantics in Con
necticut and this number had dWin-
died to 85 in 1861. A few years later
most of them Joined the BTOtherton
Indians in New York and were benevo-
lently assimilated Another Mantle
tribe lived in Rhode Island and, by
refusing to take part against the
whites in the King Phillip war, re-
tanned their tribal integrity for a time,
but, as they were closely related to
the Narragansets they, eventually,
were absorbed into that tribe.
When Cavelier La Sale, in 1892,
wrote back to France about the IN
dams around his fort on the Illinois
river where Peoria now stands, he
mentioned the Piankashaws, a tribe
which figured largely in the story Of
Indiana and Illinois. Their ancient
village was on the Wabash river near
the junction with the Vermilion. They
occasionally spread over into Illinois
and from all accounts we're particular
ly pestifeTous in their intercourse with
the whites In 1882, with some neigh
boring tribes, they moved into Kansas
and later consolidated with the Illini,
known as Peorias and Kaskasllas.
