Peril of Growing Pains.

Peril Of Growing Pains.
Little John had put in very hard
day of playing and that night he said,
Mother, OH how my knee aches!"
'"That is just a growing pain and
will be all right in the morning." re-
piled his mother.
At that John exclaimed: "But the
pain is in just one knee, and Is one of
my legs going to be longer than the
other?"
Humanity is never so beautiful as
when praying for forgiveness or else
fOrgiving another.

skin draw map Of any part Of the
far West. He learned the trick from
the Indians.
Waniyetu yawapi wowapi-that Is
American Indianese, the Sioux dialect.
1t means winter count writing"-the
Indian method Of keeping calendar.
The Oglala Sioux (Dakota) Indians
exploited tart calendars" before our
present New Year productions were
in existence. They represented each
year by Photograph. or picture, Ia
beled with descriptive motto. The
picture and name were generally sug-
gested by some important winter
event, whence the name "winter count
writing"
These photographs drawn on buff
falo skins, were kept in serial order,
the keeper trusting his memory to
recall the details of the events sug-
gested by the pictures so identifying
the various years. In other words,
each year had a name instead Of a
mere number, and in the official cal
endar this name was illustrated by 6
picture. A Dakota born In 1858 would
say that his birth occurred in "the
year of the deep snow" or, If in
1885, "in the year of the moons
eclipse"
The American Museum Of Natural
History is fortunate in having been
able to obtain one of these chron-
icles complete and parts of two 9TH
ers.
It Is interesting to follow these old
Indian records; to trace the history
of the Dakota by his own account of
hunting parties, tribal wars and mas
sacres, the coming Of the white men,
dealings with traders, occasional out
breaks, gradual submission to the
stronger power of the white mans
government and civilization, and the
development of the Indians relations
with the United States, with his con-
sequent interest in United States poll
tics. The names of some Of the years
are for us merely amusing; others are
very significant. A few chosen at ran
dom will give fair idea Of the old
Sioux calendar:
1779-S0-Smallpox used them up
winter.
1791-92-Saw white woman win
ter.
1797-Beaver-small come winter.
1799-First firearms to issue winter.
1SO3-Horse-foot iron they say
brought home winter. (This commem-
crates the first horseshoe seen by the
Indians. 1t was on a stolen horse.)
1S21-22-Star passed by with loud
noise winter.
1S3O-Wood house first made win
ter.
1S41-Drunk fight kill winter.

would probably have to journey to
the wilds of Africa to find anybody
actually wearing tapa. But In Samoa
an excellent quality is still manufac-
tured-for the sake Of the tourist
trade.
Il shall now describe their way of
making Cloth, which, in my opinion,
Is the only Curious manufacture they
have" So wrote Lieutenant Qater
Commander) James Cook at Tahiti,
Society Islands, Pacific ocean, in the
diary he kept during his first voyage
around the world made 176S-71, in Il.
M. Bark Endeavor. He proceeds:
"All their Cloth is, believe, made
from the Bark Of Trees; the finest
Is made from plant which they Gull
tivate for no other purpose. DR.. Sol
ander thinks 1t Is the same plank the
bark Of which the Chinese make paper
OF. They let this plant grow till 1t
is about 6 or 8 feet high, the Stem is
then about as thick as ones Thum
or thicker; after this they cut 1t down
and lay it Certain time in water.
This makes the Bark strip off easy
the outside of which is scraped off
with rough Shell. After this is done,
1T looks like long strips of ragged
LINEN; these they lay together, by
means Of fine paist made of some
sort Of a root, to the Breadth of a yard
more or less, and in length 6, 8 or 10
Yards or more according to the use
it is for.
"After 1t Is thus put together 1t IL
beat out to its proper breadth and
flneness. upon long square piece OF
wood, with wooden beaters, the Cloth
being kept wet all the time. The
beaters are made Of hard wood with
four square sides, are about or 4
inches broad and cut into grooves of
different fineness; this makes the
Cloth look at first sight as if 1t was
wove with thread, but I believe the
principal use Of the Grooves is to
facilitate the beating it out, in the do
ing Of which they often beat holes
in it, or one place thinner than an
other; but this is easily repaired by
pasting on small bits, and this they
do in such manner, that the Cloth
Is not the least injured.
"The finest sort when bleached Is
very white and comes nearest to fine
Cotton. Thick cloth, especially fine,
is made by FASTING two or more thick
ness's Of thin cloth, made for that
Purpose, together. Coarse thick cloth
and ordinary thin cloth is made Of the
Bark of Bread fruit Trees. and 1
think have been told that it Is some
times made from the Bark of other
trees. The making Of Cloth is wholly
the work Of the women in which all
ranks are employed. Their common
