Cherokee Once Powerful.

The Cherokees are an important
tribe of North American Indians. The
name means upland field, the tribe be-
ing peculiarly upland. They may have
so designated themselves to their first
European visitors. They are probably
the people known additionally to the
Delawares as Talligewi, a powerful
body which once occupied the val
legs of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers,
and afterward was driven south by
the Delawares and IroquOis. When
first known to Europeans their center
was in the southern AIleghenies, and
they occupied the mountains of south
ern Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see. Their chief settlements were on
the head waters of the Savannah and
Tennessee rivers, and were respec-
lively called Elati Tsalaki, or Lower
Cherokee, and Atali TSalaki, or Up
per Cherokee, speaking two different
dialects AS the white settlers pressed
upon them they retreated westward
until by the treaty of 1885, they sold
all their remaining country, and the
main body removed to q tract assigned
TO them west of the Mississippi. A
considerable number remained be-
hind, and gradually concentrating in
western North Carolina, are now
known as the eastern band of CherO-
KEGS, numbering about 1000.

Eucalyptus and Malaria.

'What is the connection between
the eucalyptus and the disappearance
of the malarial trouble? This has been
only very recently explained. There
is probably no tree having a greater
avidity for water than the eucalyptus.
Experiments with seedlings grown in
water have shown that a baby blue
gum will take up the liquid at an ex-
tremely rapid rate AS the bue-gums
grow at a marvellous rate Gotten as
much as ten or twelve feet is added
to their height In a single season.,
the consumption Of moisture from the
soil goes on at a rapidly increasing
rate. Now, it is well-knOwn that the
malariaI poison is introduced into the
blood of man through the agency of a
certain variety, of mosquito (Ano-
pheles). and the dwelling place Of
these insects, when In the larval stage,
is to be found in pools of water. With
the planting of the eucalyptus trees
the pools disappear and the lEarshy
land becomes comparatively dry. Thus
the breeding places of the mosquitoes
are destroyed and the insects are no
longer able to carry on their pernicious
activities. IS. Leonard Basin, In st.

PUT MOON BACK IN THE SKY
Did, Which Amounted to the
Same Thing.

One of the stories given by Mrs. Hes
ter Donaldson Jenkins in Behind
Turkish Lattices," as typical of the
narratives by which women in Moham-
medan lands entertain themselves OF
an evening, seems amusingly sugges-
tive of certain complacent persons
in all lands-who take an exalted view
of the significance of their own dis
coveries and dnings.
Once upon a day, once upon a time,
Nasr Eddin Hodja called to his wife:
"Hanuml Hanum! Come and see
the moon has fallen into the well ="
She ran. and, looking into the well,
sure enough, she saw the moon float
ing on the water.
what shall we do" he asked, 'to
get it out?''
1t was a sad thing to lose the moon
down the well. She rubbed her head to
think better, and finally said:
81 will bring you hook and rope,
and you can pull it out"
This she did; and the n0dja let the
rope down into the water and pulled.
The hook, catching on a stone, would
not come up easily, and so he pulled,
pulled, pulled.
Suddenly the stone gave way and
the hOdia fell backward to the ground.
AS he looked up to the sky, he saw the
moon in the heavens.
"Hanum Hanum :" he cried. 81 have
put it back into it's placer
She, looking up, agreed with him.
and they went peacefully into ne

spirit as if her husband had permitted
himself to be killed purely out of spite
toward her.
"As if it were not enough to lose
that treasure" the widow continued,
Stormily, ''the government must free
all our slaves. Tsei Use! And now
that there is no longer profit in

"No profit in sugar? What are you

tons, nor Pancho Cueto. 1 came here
to talk about your step-daughter,

"So?" Donna Isabel looked up
quickly
''She interests me. She is more beau
tiful than the stars" Don Mario rolled
his eyes toward the high ceiling, which,
like the sky, was tinted vivid ceru-
lean blue.
"She is now eighteen" the fat sutton
went on, ecstatically, "and so alto

Don Mario had been drumming his
fat fingers impatiently upon the arm Of
his chair. Now he exclaimed:
"Your pardon, sonora, but l am just
now very little interested in your do
nestle relations. What you say about
Rosa only makes me more eager, for

EASY TO WRITE WITH TOES
ment" Can Be Acquired in a Com
'paratiVeIy Short Time.

When next you go to the zoo, watch
the Popular Science Monthly. Notice
how they seize things with their fists.
They do not use their finger-ends as
we do. While the higher monkeys,
such as gorillas and chimpanzees, may
be taught TO use their fingers, they
never learn to use them as easily as
do human beings.
The monkey is primarily tree
dweller. 1t lives in forests and swings
from tree to tree, using its hands as
hooks with which 1t grasps the
branches. The thumb is not brought
into play. Some South American mon
keys have lost the thumb through dis
use; all that is left of it is indicated
by little lump under the skin.
In the higher monkeys the wrist is
built like yours. 1t has the same num-
Der of bones. But the monkey has
never used his wrist, and so it has lost
the fiexibility. The monkey can use
his fist to better advantage than his
hands.
Man, on the other hand, has used his
feet so long simply for the purpose of
walking. that he would experience con-
siderable difficulty in using them as
he uses his hands. Yet. it is amazing
how quickly a man can learn to use
his toes as he does his fingers. If you
don't believe this, just try to write
with your toes At first the letters
will be very large and awkward. But
with a very little practice you will
find that you can write with your foot
more easily than with your left hand,
if you are naturally right-handed. 1t
is an attractive exercise with which
to while away an hour. We know you
will try the experiment.

KNITTING, Revived Art.

Knitting, as a handicraft. almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world. received its death
blow from the invention of Isaac Wiz
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich, about 78 years ago.
Lambs invention of the knitting
machine, the first perfected apparat-
us of its kind, transformed the art Of
knitting from home occupation to
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable of producing more
than 80 varieties Of knit goods and
makes 1000 loops minute at ordi-
nary speed, turning out both fiat and
tubular work. Later inventors haze
worked Improvements in the process.
AS one result If the war knitting
needles are again in vogue, and their
click may now be heard in the homes,
In the theaters, in the street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however, home knitting will pass with
the years.

70 take on weight. He had, in truth,
become so fat that he waddled like
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode, the springs of his French vic
toria gave up in despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
teal and unromantic; he boosted that
he had never had an Illusion, never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet, on the day this story opens, this
prosaic parsonage, in spite of his bulg-
ing waistband and his taut neckband,
in spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was in a very whirl of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario, in
fact, suffered the greatest of all illu-
sions: he was in love, and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
alteration was little Rosa Varona, the
daughter of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough;
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor of making her his
wife.
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per-
spiratiOn that were coursing down
every fold of his flesh, and regardless

Your Finger Prints.

A good many people can change and
disguise their handwriting so that no
one could possibly recognize it. But
there is one autograph that none of us
can change-namely, that made by the
prints of the fingers Every member
of the human race has certain delicate
markings on his fingers by which his
identity can always be established.
These marks never change. The lines
are the same at seventy as at baby
hood, only grow larger as we grow old
err. The highly intelligent person has
more of detail in his finger marks than
one of less mental power. Women
have finer markings on their finger tips
than men, and those of negroes are
coarser than those of whites.

How to Read.

At best the printed words of an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction Of
what is in his thought and feeling, OF
what he would express if he could.
Therefore, IT is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit Of looking in
tenseIy at words and assure yourself
Of their meaning syllable by syllable.
nay, letter by letter" Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act of CO "entratiou
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
pathy with the idea expressed, and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-WilIiam

of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at drunken angle, as if
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt jaunti-
ness of body and of spirit almost like
that of youth. He saw himself as a
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home of some obscure maiden
whom he had graciously chosen to be
his mate.
His arrival threw Donna Isabel into
fiutter; the woman could scarcely
contain her curiosity when she came to
meet him. for he was not the sort of
man to inconvenience himself by mere
social visits. Their first formal greet

The raising of the voice in anger
is manifestly akin to the roar of the
angry carnivOra. Darwin has pointed
out the connection between the human
sneer and the snarl of the angry dog,
and I have myself seen a refined wom-
an in a transport of spite lift her up
per liD and show her teeth in a man
ner absurdly like an enraged beast.
But nothing shows more clearly the
essential identity Of the fighting in
stinct in man and the lower animal
than the way in which a child, soon
after it can toddle, will rush at the
object of its passion and proceed to
bite and sCratch-that is, 10 use teeth
and claws, as any Of the carnivOra

ReaI Purnose of the Stat.

The ultimate purpose of the state
is not to rule men, TO keep them in
fear, to subject them to the will of
others, but, on the contrary, to allow
each as far as possible to live in Sc
curity, that is. 20 preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or TO his neighbor. No. l re-
peat, the object of the state is not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
mails or automatic its object is to en-
able the citizens to develop in security
their bodies and their minds, freely to
employ their reason. The true end of
the state, therefore, is liberty
