appeared, it marked the beginning
of the end OF the Indian uprisings
in the Northwest. The war was re-
newed with stubbornness by the Gov
ernment and carried On with vigor by
the army despite the terrible hard
ships of the campaigns: a few lines
from General CHARLES KINGS report
indicate what these were. >This order
was issued: three horses to be shot
each night in each battalion; and by
that time most of them, like their
riders, were scarecrows"
To-day we look back through the
perspective of forty-five years upon
the Indian wars of the '70s, upon the
small force of fighting Regulars who
cleared the way across the continent
for the settler and home builder and
guarded the wide frontier with no
hope of honor If they were victorious
and no hope of mercy If they fell. 1t
was to them a thankless task, a
perilous service, a war in which
the soldier had little to gain and all
to lose, warfare. as General KING
expressed 1t, (which had absolutely
nothing to hold the soldier stern
and steadfast to the end but the
solemn sense of soldier duty" And
the American Regular proved himself
worthy Of the trust then as he did
ever before and has ever since.
The New York herald., 1921-06-19

Of the TransvaaI in November. 1881, Sc
lous met one of the old Boer voor-
trekkers, by name Friedrich de Lange,
who showed him a curious snake stone"
which was supposed to have the pow
to cure snake bite. De Lange valued This
stone highly. and stated that its efficacy
was invariable. and that It had already
cured several people and horses that had
been bitten by snakes. Selous himself
was able to confirm De Lange's belief In
the talsman. for he had met tho dau6h-
ter Of one Antony Forman, who as a
child had, been severely bitten by q
cobra and whose life was saved by
applying the stone. which was applied
twice before II drew out the poison. Sc
lous had met the girl--then 1s years
of age--in 1877. spd she showed him the
old scar.
Apparently the rough side OF the
stone adhered to the wound until a GER
tain amount of poison had been alb
sorbed. and then II fell on. Several
applications were necessary. IL is prob
able that this remarkable stone had been
brought from india"

100000 Rent Payers.

If 100000 home renters in New
York city ever got organized the way
SAM UNTERMYER and NATHAN HIRscH
want them organized they would
WELD a power in municipal politics
apd economics which would make
them masters of the city.
Their organization would have
about quarter Of the votes cast in the
five boroughs. 1t would be able to
name candidates and elect them.
1t would represent from 100000
to 100000 residents Of the town, and
il 1t wanted to go into the real es-
tate business and building trades it
could set up it's own banks, title guar
anty companies. brickyards. open
quarries and carpenter and mason's
shops, manufacture its own plumbers
supplies and run its own business
from cellar to attic.
1t could make and unmake neigh
borhoods, and thus put through spec
ulative deals that would cause Wall
Street plungers to blink.
The power Of 100000 New York
rent payers-they spend probably
$500 each, or $1S0,oo0,000 a year. for
living understanding In unison un-
der intelligent direction would be
stupendous. For il they got together
as rent payers they could act to-
gether as general spenders.
Figuring rent at IS per cent. of
income, as Is done in normal times,
these 100000 rent payers would have
purchasing power of about $780,
100000 after they had satisfied their
landlords. Manufacturers and whole
salers would cater to them. Carpet
makers, wall paper printers, furni-
ture builders would look for their
trade. Perhaps they would kneel
for it.
We may never see such an associ-
alton, and, considering human frail-
ties, perhaps it's a good thing we
may not.

Victory at birmingham.

So many discouraging reports have
been received in this country con.
corning the condition of the Amer,
lean polo players and their mounts
in England that the news of yester'
days smashing victory won by Cap.
tain DEvEREux MuBURN and his team
mates over the British four In the in
ternational match at Nottingham had
in it all the elements Of a complete
surprise. Only on Friday we were
told Captain MILBURN might not DC
able to play; there was talk of post
poning the match. On Saturday he
led the challengers to swift and
brilliant triumph.
Whatever uneasiness was inspired
from the selection Of HITCHCOCK was
dissipated by his play yesterday. He
appears to have united the steadiness
Of maturity with the dash of youth
His years told for him, not against
him, as some had feared they might.
The other members of the Ameri'
can team gave the accounts Of them
selves which were to have been ex
pected.
The American success was won by
those qualities which have always
been characteristics of polo as played
here-dash in attack and insistence
on taking the game to the opponents.

What Music Is.
A Correspondent EXPANDS Webster's
Definition.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Web
ster defines music "A succession OF
sounds so modified as to please the eAy."
Like beauty. which dwells in the eye
OF the beholder. so music dweJIs IN ~
ear of the hearer. Goiiefzi Grant said
he could recognize only two tunes. o<s
was Yankee Doodle" and the otrS
wasn't.
Take notice. Webster does not state
what sort OF sounds. nor qualify them
in the least. This has been done by
the training of the ages and after .
manner established, like the dogmas of
the church. Music is both sensual and
spiritual. but those strains which make
the most powerful spiritual appeal arc
the acme of the art. and this music ID
as rare among sounds as the diamond
among stones. We find it at intervals
in the classic operas. Here it is not
spread over the whole score, but like
pure gold 1t lies In pockets or mines.
There is not a great composer that
could not be stripped Of three-Q quarters
OF his output and still leave those parts
untouched which are immortal, which
echo and reecho at intervals in the 81
lent chambers of our heart through all
the changing scenes of life.
Music may we'll possess therapeutic
powers. 1t holds the widest range Of
all the arts. Some powerfully wrought
up volume of Wagnerian sounds might
quiet. or at least subdue. the widest
delirium. and some exquisite. wralthlike
Rossini or Verdi strain might drift clear
down into the valley of the shadow and
bring back the wandering spirit afloat
on its appealing refrain

Use of Snake Stones.

Fvop the Field

From the Field.
In nearly all accounts of snake
charming in India. the SNAKE stone" as
a remedy for snake bite" plays an Inn
portant part. For when applied TO the
punctured wound II is said to absofb the
poison gradually, and after one or two
applications To eliminate II entirely.
From time to time the subject has given
rise TO correspondence In these columns
and the nature and properties OF the
stone known as "bezoar stone" (from
the Persian pad, expelling. and sahr,
poison) was discussed at some length.
The observations referred to related
chiefly to India, and belief In the
efficacy of the treatment was shown to
be Of great antiquity. Those who took
an interest In these discussions may be
glad TO hear of the use of "A snake
stone" In Africa. In the Life" of that

Pests That Are Food.
Pusley and Pokeberries Appear in
Better Roles.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: As a re-
suit OF four years experimental work
we are cultivating on River Ridge farm
a crop of twenty acres Of an indigenous
plant once regarded as q weed and pest,
but this twenty acres now promises the
most valuable product an acre that has
even been produced on this farm.
With passing years more clearly than
ever before ! can recognize that most
things have value. q. g.. some of your
older readers may recall the expression
that I used to hear as q boy, "Meaner
than pusley." One summer the Penn
sylvania State College sent up a few
students whom we put to work on
our farm. Among them was a very
bright young Chinaman. who was to be
graduated the next year. He was weed
ing a melon patch and pulling up pus-
ley, which is a congener Of the portu-
laca.
AS was passing he looked up and
said to me, you throw this away. In
China We cat 1t. II Is very good in
deed. 1t is like spinach or what you
call green's
AS a boy I was taught that poke
berries were poisonous, and yet In the
foothills of the Alleghanies with the
advent of spring the people fiock to the
edge of the woods TO get poke green's" {"
and I have no doubt that by cutting
back we could prolong the season for
poke greens almost indefinitely. A plant

This year if game is played within

The fact remains and is apparent to

Oberammergau Memories.
A Woman Who Was There In 1900
Recalls the Passion Play.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your edi-
torial article on "The Passion Play In
1929" revived the longing always N the
back Of my mind to live again through
one Of those Oberammergau days.
Several points OF the performance In
1900 were slightly different from your
and understand It to be the custom
q mass at an early hour at which all
the performers received Holy Commu-
nion. was awakened at 8 o'clock with
the drums beating calling the people to
church, and regretted not knowing Of
1t through having arrived so late the
night before.
After a hurried breakfast everybody
walked to the theatre. We were In our
places at 8 o'clock and had moment to
watch the beautiful birds flying in and
out Of the stage. which is open to the
gorgeous Sky and Alps. A light snow.
fall with the sun shining brilliantly was
also novel sight, the sun Illuminating
those hills that told a very different
story when shadowed in the late after
noon by clouds that added to that last
great scene a final note of sorrow.
The tragic exit of Judas I consid-
cred far more telling than his actual
death portrayed would be. He was the
most intnse character of sll. his very
costume Of saffron and dull yellow. the
tswny small purse of chamois clutched
In his hand, his redly angered face and
the aureole OF curly. outstanding black
hair, made, as he dashed from the scene
to what one knew was his death. an I'm
forgettable picture a death that held no
hope--and quite In different spirit from
the pathetic humility of suffering We
were to see in the death on the Cross. |
For II all took place before our eyes. |
and as the Saviour hung there while !,
the act proceeded thought II never |
would end. One could see the flesh tor
the terrible sag OF those muscles.
Perfection Of pose is seen in the many
tableaux. some having 400 people. many
of them children, and the pose being held
for three minutes, all too short to sec
Sneir beauty. There is nothing like it
anywhere In the whole world. Twenty
years has only heightened my desire
once more to take part for those who
make the pilgrimage do take part. no
matter what their belief or disbelief
Those who make the journey In 1929
should be fairly well read in both Old
and New Tsstaments. as each act OF the
way of the Cross Is preceded by =
chorus and tableau showing how the ON
Law foretold the New Law. Knowing
German does not so much matter. Z
cannot remember a word although We
followed text book 1t is a song with
out words. They neither add nor take
away from its wonderfully moving
scenes JANE FRAsEn.

Circling the Squirrel.
Sun and Earth Are Called In fol
Illustration.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
philosophers who would prove that the
hunter did not go around the squirrel
have each some pet definition Of the
phase going around" One would have
It necessary to wind string around
the animal. I suppose II the squirrel
accidentally got the string twisted around
one OF his legs we would have proof
that the hunter went around the squir-
rels leg but not around the squirrel.
Another in to-day's HERALD states that
we must get views of all sides in going
around neither Of these definitions can
be applied to suit all instances. An
observer on the sun would see New York
pass In review 36b times a year another
observer on a fixed star would see the
city 366 times In the same interval.
