Meat Not Exclusive Food of Red Indians Among nil the American Indians there were no pure hunter tribes. In the north portion of the continent the diet w-ns three-fourths animal food, In the southern part It was three-fourths vegetable, and with the tribes of the const, mountains, lakes and plains It varied according to the food supply. As a rule the Indian women were cooks of considerable Ingenuity and contrary to popular belief the Indains preferred cooked food. They were good at husbandry nnd after drying their vegetables they sometimes built granaries wherein to store them. Animal food was often dried or frozen, but sometimes was smoked. Fruits were pulped or dried. Nuts were often ground before being stored, as were also maize, grass seeds and the legumes. Potatoes and squashes frequently were stored In holes dug beneath the frost line. The Indians liked salt to flavor their dishes and obtained it sometimes by evaporating the water from salt springs and sometimes by taking the crystals from salt lakes and caves. Many of them were fond of chewing gum, which they got from spruce trees. Savors, flavors nnd condiments were valued highly.— Detroit News. Fortune Had Part in Doubling of “Talent” A Sunday school teacher, after telling tire class the parable of the talents, gave each boy a dime, explaining that they were to use their capital during the week and report on the following Sunday bow much they had made. “Now, then,” he said to the first boy when they gathered a week later, “how much has your talent gained?” The boy produced 20 cents and the teacher was delighted. "Splendidl” he exclaimed, then turned to the second boy. “And how much have you brought?” “Nothing, sir.” The teacher’s expression changed. "There, you see,” he told the class. “George has used his talent and brought one talent more, while Jimmy has lost the talent he had.” He turned sternly to Jimmy. “And what has become of your talent?” “I tossed up with George, sir, and he won.”—Weekly Scotsman. • Old American Flag In 1775 a committee, under Benjamin Franklin as chairman, designed the first flag of the United Colonies. This is said to have been the first official flag, and was hoisted by Washington over his camp in Cambridge and by Capt. John Paul Jones over his fleet early in 1776. It had 13 red and white stripes, representing the 13 United Colonies, with the king's colors, the crosses of St George and St. Andrew, in the blue canton. The presence of these crosses in the blue Held meant that the Colonists wore fighting for their rights as Englishmen. It has been called a “flag not of separation but of protest.” In those days it was often designated as the congress colors, or the Cambridge flag, and was officially known as the Grand Union flag, and is said to have been designed by Washington. Little Change in Scales There is little or no difference between the scales used today and those used in the days of ancient Egypt, judging by an exhibition In the Science museum. South Kensington, London, recently. Illustrating the history of weighing as far back as is known, a steelyard used by a Roman butcher identical with one of the present day was on show. Modern scales of nickel and enamel, with multi-colored dials, on which the weight can be read in an instant, stood side by side with models showing that centuries ago Leonardo da Vinci designed a selfindicating machine on exactly the same principle. Fleming! in England Flemish weavers were first established in England by Henry I In Pembrokeshire at the beginning of the Twelfth century, and they seem constantly to have come to England after that time. In Edward Ill's reign immigration was stimulated when the king offered special rights to the Flemish on condition that they teach Englishmen their trade. Later, in the Sixteenth century, the religious troubles resulted In a substantial emigration of Flemish weavers to England. These immigrants played an important part in the birth of the English woolen Industry. • Daily Thought Our business in life is not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of ourselves. To break our own record, to outstrip yesterdays by todays, to bear our trials more beautifully than we ever dreamed we could, to whip the tempter Inside and out as we never whipped him before, to give ns we never have given, to do our work with more force and a finer finish than ever —this Is the true idea —to get ahead of ourselves.—Maltbie D. Babcock. All Life a Struggle Every tnan who makes headway In his chosen field of effort must strug gle against the current. The fact that a mun Is a success doesn’t mean that he has never experienced adverse conditions, but that he lias met and overcome them. —Grit.
