And going into the garden she picked a beautiful, sweet rose for each little girl, and then, hand in hand, primly and proudly they walked up the elmshaded street to Suuday school. After the teacher had sung and talked to the children, and heard their lessons, she turned to little Kit, and asked her if she bad a verse to say. Kittie nodded assent, and, slipping demurely from her seat, gave her dress two anxious little pulls, and in a high, clear voice began: It I had a donkey, and he wouldn't go, Wouldn't I wallop him? -oh, no, nol "Hush, Kittie, hush!" whispered horrified Elsie. "Say, ' Suffer little children.' " But Kittie would not hush. The children had had 'a, nurse-girl, who taught them many rhymes some of them very foolish and Kittio particularly liked this one and felt mire she know it. So, drawing a long breath, she began again : If I had a donkoy, and he wouldn't go. Wouldn't I wollop him? oh, no. no! The children tittered and tho teacher's face twitched, but she tried not to laugh, and said : "Kittio, haven't you another verse to ay?" "She has got a good Sunday one," eagerly replied Elsie, "and she knows every word of it." "Well, let me hear it, Kittio," said the teacher, and Kittie, with a very demure face, but her .eyes fairly dancing, in an emphatic and vigorous manner, declaimed : There was a little girl.

Scalping oT the Indians b the Colonists The taking of scalps came to be a recognized part Of colonial warfare. Hannah tlU-itin, who escaped from Indian captivity in 1698f took ten scalps with her own hand, and was paid for them. dpt. Church, undertaking his expedition against tho Eastern Indians, iu 1705, after the Decrfleld Massacre, announced that. he. had hot hitherto permitted the scalping of "Canada men," but should thenceforth allow it. In 17'22, when the Massachusetts colony sent an expedition against the village of "praying Indians," founded by Father Easlc, they offered a bounty bf 15, afterward increased to 100; and this inhumanity woe to far carried out that the French priest himself was one of tho victims. Jeremiah Bumstead, of Boston, mado this entry in his almanao in tho -nme year: "Aug. 22, 28 Indian scalps brought to Boston, one of which was Bombazen's an Indian chief j and one fryey Baile's." Two years after, the celebrated but inappropriately named Capt. Lovewell, the foremost Indian fighter of his region, came upon ten Indians asleep around a pond ; he and his men killed nnd scalped them all, and entered Dover, N. H., bearing the ten scalps etretchod on hofips and elevated on poles. After receiving an Ovation in Dover they went by water to Boston, ond were paid 1)000 fof their senilis. Yet Lovewell's party was always accompanied by a Chaplain, and had prayers every morning and evening. Tho most painful aspect of the whole practice lies in the fact that it was not confined to those actually engaged in lighting, but that the Colonial authorities actually established a tariff of prices for scalps, including even noncombatauts so much for a man's, so much for a woman's, so much for a

child's. Dr. Ellis has lately pointed out the striking circumstance that whereas William Penn declared the

person of an Indian "sacred," his

grandson in 17(M offered $134 for the scalp of an Indian mau, $130 for that of a boy under 10 and $50 for that of a woman or girl. The habit doubtless began in tho fury of retaliation, and was continued in order to conciliate Indian allies; and when bounties were offered them, the white volunteers naturally claimed a share. But there

is no doubt that Puritan theology helped the adoption of the practice. It was

partly because the Indian was held to be soinetlung worse than a beast that he was treated as being at least a beast. The truth was that he was viewed as a fiend, and there could not be much scruple about using inhumanities against

a demon. Cotton Mather calls baton "the old landlord" o the American wilderness, and says in his Magnolia: "These Parts were then covered with Nations of Barbarous Indians and Infidels, in whom the Prince of the Power of the Air did work as a Spirit; nor could it be expected that Nations of Wretches whose whole religion was the most Explicit sort of Devil-Worship should not be acted by the Devil to engage in some early and bloody Action for the Extinction of a Plantation so contrary to his Interests as that of New England was." T. W. Sigginson, in Harper's Magatine. Hense Decoration. If you have not a1ook-case, make one, or two looks better, if you like to fill up tho recesses each side of a chimney. Any nook, or a corner will do, though a corner is rather harder to fit up. Have a carpenter make you some very smooth shelves, and fit them into place from the floor only breast high. Do not paint or stain tlietu, but rub them roughly with oil, except ' tho top one, which should bo covered with a bright cloth, Finish the edge of the shelves with a strip oi scarlet leather-cloth piuked on each edge, and fastened on with brass-headed nails. Make a pretty curtain to hang across the front. It may be of dark felt cloth, trimmed aoross'with brightbands of cloth feather-stitched on, or oi crash worked in outline embroidery, ox of any material or color whioh will harmonize with your carpets or curtains. Hang it with brass ritiga (whioh you can buy of any upholsterer) on a pole which ahould be fastened in front of the top shelf (wo forgot to say in its proper place, that the top shelf should be nearly two inches wider than the others). The pole may bo ordered with rings, or you can take a section of gospipo (or a broom-stick) and gild it, with prepared gilding, bought at a paintshop. To support the pole, have your carpenter saw you out a couple of small brackets, with a hole in the center just large enough to admit the pole. Fasten your curtain to the rings on tho pole, and the pole through tho brackets, then screw the latter into place. Gild the brackets and crewheads like the pole. Put plaster busts or other ornaments on the top shelf, and you wl say you have a pretty and useful piece of furniture at a slight expense. We saw a lovely curtain for this purpose mode of olive-colored felt cloth. Across the bottom was a deep facing of maroon cloth, above this were five rows of ordinary worsted braid in bright color, and fastened at each edge with high-colored silks in fancy stitches. About live inches from the top of the curtain was another cluster of the braids. Farmer's Jteview. A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts. Sir Joshua lley-noldfi.

A GRATE PROBLEK

The People's Food When tlie World'," Population Reaches I(s Maximum. Prof. Felix X. Oswald, In Cincinnati Enquirer. . The time is not far when, the products of our mother earth will cease to suffice)r the wants of her children with their present houttehold system. We waste about as- much as we use. Ourflelds are full of- weeds,, Fourenths ojl our jtilled lands. are devoted to the production of worse than useless stimulants. The sparrows on the housetops aro the chief beneficiaries of our fire places, since four-fifths of the caloric escapes through the chimney. Our clothes benefit th weaver more than the wearer. Wo shift with annuals where we could have porennials. Few cultivators develop half tho possible resources of the soil. When the world's iwpulation per square mile of arable ground has reached its apparent maximum, famine will teach us a lesson or two, and the most-important amendment to the agriculture of th ' future will be tho substitution of arborescent plants for annuals. Cereals and hutiareds of herbs have to be replanted, roetlltivated and refertilizcd year after yrar, and tiemly all the product? of that infihitd labor could be derived from bees that take bare df themselves and improve with every season; While yearly crops exhaust the soil unless its 'produhtivencsS is preserved by crop-rotation and artificial fertilizers that involve additional toil and expense; The Corsican farmers make very good bread out of chestnut-flour. South bf the Alps a chestnut-teco will Outlive three generations, and n grove of tbdae trees (bearing nuts as targe as pigebnbggs) will produce 3;000 bushels Of ferinacious material where the best Illinois corn-farmer cotdd not produce 300. Chestnut-flour might be improved both bv chemical and horticultural means, and the castanea vera is not the only bread-yielding tree. Asia Minor produces several varieties of sweetacorn oaks and one nut-bearing conifer, the pistacliio-pino, that furnishes palatable surrogate! for cereal breadstuffs. In pleasantness of flavor no cane-

cow isn't worth much after the 20th year, but the olive tree will live two or three, and, according to .Prof. Marehetti, even live centuries. In the

North beech trees could be cultivated,

and perhaps improved, for the same

purpose. With the same amount of

artificial selection that developed a Delaware peach from the small almond

like fruit of the American persico-tree,

the beech could be made to bear nuts

tree destruction man has forfeited his

earthly paradise; tree culture will reconcile him to nature. A time will

come when the great secret of this earth, the genesis of the desett almost equivalent to the exigesis of evil will become a familiar fact. That time will form a turning poiut in the physical

history of our planet. Glucose can be made out of any. kind of starch, and starch out- of other

things beside cereals, and necessity may yet teach us a way of making the

prettiest candy out 01 acorns peruaps oven out of wood. Sawdust can be made into paper or vinegar, at the option of the chemical thaumaturgist. The organio laboratory of a reindeer's

stomach turns moss into the richest

kind of milk', comprising sugar, albumen, caseine and fat, and if we learn to imitate that trick an old sea-grass mattress may become tho basis of an excellent dinner. And who shall say if, in the course of centuries, the successors of Prof. Liiebig may not discover a way, not only of supplementing the products of agriculture, but of dispensing with them altogether? Quo non ars penetrat? Knowledge and power are convertible factors, and the power of necessity has already forced its way into some pretty well locked secrets of nature. The Altitude of Boys. The Superintendent of the Public Schools of Denver, having noticed that small boys are of assorted sizes, has tried to discover the physical causes whioh make ono variety of small boy taller than another. Following the truly-scientific method, he first assumed that boys born at tho level of the sea would grow taller than boys born at any given height above it or, in other words, that the height of small boys varies inversely as tho elevation of their habitat. The Denver School Superintendent mav be well acquainted with books, but he evidently knows very little of boys. Variation in the height of small boys is due, not to climatic influence, but to fruit influence. In countries where apple trees abound small lioys are tall, as in the New England States. In countries where apples are scarce and melons abundant, as in most Southern countries, small boys ore smaller than they are elsewhere. The reason is obvious. In New England the constant effort to reach up to an apple-tree bough and steal a few apples stretches the small boy to his utmost height, and, as this process is constantly repeated, the small boy becomes elongated, or, in other words, grows tall. In the Southern States the act of stealing melons requires the small boy to bow down in order to inspect and pick h:s melons. Consequently he is rarely stretched to to his full height, and, of course, does not become as tall as the boys of Urn apple-growing regions. New York Times. A Crown for Sale. London is the mart of the world. You may buy anything here, from a wife or a" white slave, to a castle, a palace or a pedigree. It is not often, however, that a crown -is in. the market.

The rest is en vente, the price being JE30,000, and the purchaser will be permitted, if it suiti his caprice, to assume the name, style and title of King, such being tho dosignalion of the vendor, who prefers liard cash . to barren acres and barren honor, like a wise old Roman.
