The Indian Baby.

2ftlcle pn "Home Life Among the Indians" is contributed to the June Century by Mrs. Alice C. Fletcher. Airs. etcher says: In the Indian household as in our own, children bear an important part. The baby is the constant companion of its mother not that other members of the family do not share in the care of it, but the little one is kept closely under the maternal eye. Soon

which is often profusely ornamented, and is always portable. A board about a foot wide and three feet long is covered with a feather pillow or with layers of soft skins. Upon these the baby is fastened by broad bands oi skin, flannel, or calico. When asleep the child's arms are bound under cover, but they are released when it awakes. A great portion of the infant's time is spent lying upon a soft robe or blanket, where it can kick and crow to its heart's content. If, however, the mother should be so engaged as to be frequently called ,out °f the tent, the baby is laced upon its board, and hung up under a tree, or placed where there is no danger of fau'"S- Should the mother have to go any distance from home, she will slip the strap of the board over her head, anr the baby goes ?lcng, winking at the great world from its mother's back. Long journeys on horses are made babies snugly packed and hung from the horn of the mother's saddle.

Shrewd Fruit Dealers. A writer in the Fruit Trade Journal recalls some incidents of the long ago fruit trade as follows: "There used to be a firm in the East that were always on the lookout for a good trade. I have been told that such firms still exist on the same street. But .this firm was unique—they were honest,

For example: A dry goods house received a parcel of hickory nuts which they sold to this Washington street firm at so much per bushel. The buyers said to the sellers that it would take a long time to measure them all (there were over one hundred barrels in the parcel), and proposed that a few bushels be measured and the average weight of, these measures be taken as a guide, and the remainder should be weighed and the test weight should govern. The sellers agreed, and sent a young dude from their office to superintend the test. The porter of the fruit firm took a half-bush-el measure and filled it properly, but the fresh young gentleman said to him: 'You don't fill that measure.' Jerry, that was the porter's name, called the boss and told him the story. The boss, whose name was also Jerry, swore at him and said: 'Why do you try to cheat this young man? Why can't you be honest? Fill your measure." Porter Jerry did fill it after that, and the bill was settled at about seventy-five pounds to the bushel. That was shrewd. "This same buyer once made a contract with a countryman to take all the cherries he would bring him during that season at five cents per pound. There was a large crop, and the buyer 'had an elephant on his hands.' One day (it had rained the day before) the countryman came in with a small load of cherries. They were unusually fine, and when the buyer looked at them he said: 'It is a shame only to pay five cents for such cherries.' The countryman was pleased, and replied: 'I think so, too.' The buyer said: 'I believe in give and take I'll pay you six cents for this lot.' 'I am glad to meet an honest man,' said the countryman as he took his money and went away. "The next day he brought in four wagon loads. When they were being landed on the sidewalk, the buyer said: 'These are not as fine as you had yesterday.' 'I know it,' said the countryman, 'but they are sound.' 'That's so,' said the buyer. "After they were all unloaded the countryman went looking for his pay. The buyer said: 'All right but I can only give you three cents a pound for this lot.' 'Why,' said the countryman, 'our contract says five cents.' 'I know that,' replied the buyer, 'but you broke the contract yesterday when, you took six cents for what you delivered and. as

I said then I believe in give and take.' That was shrewd also."

Opening for American Wheat. Consul Horton writes from Athens: Only about one-third of the wheat consumed in Greece is raised in this country, the other two-thirds being imported from Russia. Roumania, and Turkey to an annual value of over $3,000,000. The wheat crop of Russia this season has been the worst that has been experienced in years, and, in consequence, prices are high here, and arc likely rise even higher. The quality most in favor here has a long, hard, full grain, suitable for the making of meslin. The finer grades, and especially the soft kernel, are not much sought after. I have talked with several people here as to the practicability of importing wheat from the United States. Amo1^ parties with whom American expo.v. "s can correspond on this subject .:ro Mr. Christo Kastrioti. banker and wheat merchant, Pieraeus, and Gregory EMpedocles & Co.. bankers and importers, Athens. Mr. Kastrioti suggests that samples of the hard grades grown in the United States be sent to him, enough to experiment with at a flour mill. This merchant gives order for 2,000 tons and upwards. If samples are sent here, I will personally superintend the experiments at the mills and will report as to results. I am certain that the United States can supply wheat to this market in the Levant, it not to others, if our exporters will take the trouble to acquaint themselves with the quality demanded here. Freight would be greatly reduced if an order could be secured sufficiently large for an entire cargo, which could be sent directly here. 1 am indebted to Mr. N. Sourmely, for his co-operation in this matter.

Froff Catching for Market. Within recent years a large trade has grown up in Kent county in providing frogs for market, says the Baltimore Sun. The catching of frogs for their legs has become a business, and the financial returns are rather handsome to the few engaged in the industry. Along the small streams tributary to the larger rivers the big green or mottled black frogs may be found by thousands under the tufts of flag or coarse grass. One frog shipper has sent to the Baltimore market hundreds of frogs' legs each seasan, and has so increased the demand by the superior size and flavor of the Kent product that he finds it impossible to meet the requirements of the trade.

Frog legs are consumed principally by the patrons of the principal restaurants. Frogs when cooked are a delicate white meat, and much more tender than fried chicken, very nourishing and easily digested, and are recommended, when stewed, as one of the best diets for invalids with delicate stomachs. Only the hind legs and quarters are eaten, and they are sent to the market ready skinned and salted for cooking.

The market frog catcher's method of ^capturing his game is to secure a small, flatbottomed boat, easy of management, and in the later afternoon, when everything is still, he noiselessly pushes his little craft along the shores of the small creeks and coves. The bull frogs* as they are commc '•ly known, because of their deep, resonant voices, are found sitting in a shallow pool or in the mud

under tufts of heavy grass or flag. The novelty and sport of capturing this wily game are worth a row of ten miles on a hot afternoon. Two and sometimes three ordinary sized perch hooks arc bound together and baited with red flannel. The hooks are attached to a line of about four feet and the line is attached to a long, tough angle rod. Approaching the game noiselessly and with extreme caution, the red flannel is gently moved within a few inches of the frog's mouth. As quick as lightning and with a sharp croak the frog dashes forward and swallows bait, hook and all. Then follow as gamey struggles as any sportsman ever saw with hook and line.

The amateur frog hunter usually provides himself with a cat-and-rat rifle, the shells loaded with mustard seed sh®t, and shoots his game, but this is unsportsmanlike and is only popular with the uninitiated. Mill ponds, too, are favorite haunts, for the frog, and on a clear night the deep roar of the bull frog chorus may be heard for more than a mile.

Success With Cauliflowers. Prof. W. F. Massey, writing in the Practical Farmer some time ago, referred to the difficulty experienced in the South in growing cauliflowers in the fall. This called out a letter from a reader in Louisiana, telling how he succeeds with this vegetable. He says:

I raise as fine cauliflower every fall from plants of my own raising as can be made anywhere at least, they are eight to ten inches across and perfectly solid. I have been gathering them regularly for a week, and they will last till Christmas or New Year, when they are always killed by severe cold.

About the first of August I sow a paper of seed in a rich seed bed, in thirtyinch rows, about three inches apart. This will give enough for an ordinary family. This seed bed is where the sun shines

011

it all day. for while the plants

can be more easily raised in the shade they are spindling and weak and not worth setting. Cover about half an inch deep and then drench the bed with wa^ ter from a fine rose watering pot. Next morning by sunrise, water again, and cover the bed with sacks at sundown and water again.

Repeat this process until the seed begins to come up. Then remove tho sacks permanently, but keeping up tho watering, which must now be done from four to six times a day for a while, or often enough to keep the bed constantly wet. As the plants increase in size they will shade the ground and do with less watering. In the evening will be enough. By the 1st of September the plants are large enough to set. Have followed this plan for years and have never made a failure. I raise fall cabbage and lettuce plants in the same wav.

A Foreigner's Verdict on Americans. Col George E. Waring, Jr., New York's street-cleaning commissioner, contributes to the May "Century" an article describing his experiences while "Bicycling Through the Dolomites." Col. Waring says: The driver of our carriage has been in the United States for three or four years. He was vastly taken with the machine, and especially with the smooth working of the "health-pull," which he watched as it stretchcd and closed up in response to changes of grade or of speed or of surreptitious baclc-pedaling. He was glad to talk of his American experiences, which had led him to this opinion: 'Merican people got no sense work hard, make a lot of money, drink whisky, fighten. strikes, lose it all—got 110 sense." He had worked for good wages, and had twice accumulated a good sum—once as much as five hundred dollars—and had then seen it swept away by strikes ordered by walking delegates, and whole communities reduced to the verge of starvation. His verdict was: "'Merican workingmen is fools." Whn he had again accumulated a little money, he came back to Cortina with five hundred gulden, got married, and bought a carriage and a pair of horses, with which he earns a living income by carrying summer tourists over the road lsetween Cortina and

Toblach or Belluno, and by hauling wood in winter. He has no thought ol going again to a country whose people "got no sense."

He was much impressed with the stupidity of boxing. He saw the fight in New Orleans between Corbett and Sullivan. which was to him the most conclusive evidence of our lack of sense. Wrestling he thought a manly exercise, and he was fond of it and an adepl at it: but hammering with the fists was "fool work."

The old-time afore-dc-w'ar Kent county cook has solved the mysteries of the perfect preparation of the frog, and those who do not know how delicious frogs' legs may be made have many a dainty dish in store for them After skinning the legs should b( placed on a plate and salted. In several hours more they are ready for cooking The legs of medium-sized frogs art preferable, as the very large legs are liable to be coarse in the texture of flesh. The. most popular way in Ken! to cook ilK-m is by frying, but ther are other ways of making dishes them to please the palate of the mosi exacting epicure.

THE "GROWN-UP" DAUGHTER'S DUTY TO HER MOTHER.

You can only have one mother: therefore, when her step is growing slow and her mind gloomy with forebodings, and you can see that her wliol® nervous system is upset, it is your filial duty and privilege to attend to her ia time Mother is approaching the most critical period of her life.

The change of life, that is what mother is dreading, and no wonder, for it is full of peril to all but the strongest women.

There are some special and very wearing symptoms from which mother suffers, but she will not speak of them to any one. Help her out she doesn't know what to do for herself!

Shall 1 advise you? First, send to the nearest drug store and get a bottle of LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and see that mother takes it

regularly, then write to Mrs. P: nkham, at Lynn, Mass., giving all the symptoms aud you will receive a prompt reply telling mother what to do for herself. In the meantime the Vegetable Compound will make life much easier for her. It tones up the nervous system, invigorates the body, and the "blues" vanish before it as darkness flees from the sunlight. You can get it at any reliable druggist's.

Mrs. Louis STRONG,HarrisHill,ErieCo.,N.Y.,says:"I have been troubled with falling of the womb for vears, was advised to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took thirteen bottles and received great benefit. When the time for change of life came I suffered a great deal with faintness and palpitation of the heart. I got one bottle of the Vegetable Compound and one of Blood Purifier and was relieved again. I was thereby bled to'rmsR through that serious period very comfortably."
