HE largest Indian school in the southwest is near Phoenix, Ariz. The Institutlon is «niq ue

cr in several respects. * It is patronized by

the Apaches, the Pimas and Maricopahs, who have until the past few years been the

most lawless, intractable and savage tribes with whom Uncle Sam has had to deal. The red-skinned boys and girls are there taught not only from books and charts, but in classes in practical farming, where they have lessons in the proper modes of irrigating land, and properties of the soil and the most fruitful crops that may be produced in Arizona. The school is located in the heart of the Indian country, and its teachers at times go from their class rooms and shops into the wigwams and w.ckiups and huts of the braves and squaws and teach lessons of thrift and the absurdity of witchcraft and superstition. So eminent authority as Gen. Nelson A. Miles Is quoted to the effect that the spirit of the Indian schools In the southwest has done more in the last decade to subdue the innate savagery of the red tribes than any other influence. The government school near Phoenix is under the charge of the department of the interior, and, next to that at Carlisle, is the largest in the union. So far, the matter of Indian education lias been of necessity more or less one of experiment. The best methods to put forth in obtaining the desired result have had to be ascertained through many wearisome trials. There are no text-books or series of lectures on the subject. Nothing like it has ever befc re conic up in the history of nations, consequently the impossibility of sitting down and informing oneself by reading and investigation. The Indian echool at Phoenix is built of brick and wood. There are 100 acres of land about the building, all under cultivation. Grapes, alfalfa, peaches, prunes, apricots, melons, corn and garden vegetables are grown. All the farm work is done by the Indian boys, under the supervision of half a dozen white instructors. Under the supervision of the matron the 57 Pima and Apache girls in the school learn to cook, wash, sew and perform all the other household duties, in addition to their study of the English language. The superintendent of the school finds the Indian girls less tractable to book learning than the boys, but they have a zeal for neatness in sewing and knitting that is astonishing. Very few of the girls have any taste for arithmetic and the forms of language, but they love to execute highly colored maps and to draw. A recent visit to the Indian nchool was a revelation in some res-

How He Won litre* With the Help of an Kduratetl Cattish, From the Detroit Free Press: "We | used to have some great times there, boat racing on Sunday,” began the man who had helped build a southern railroad. "There was a good deal of money flying around, betting was as common as eating, and it was all right to turn a sharp trick if you didn’t get caught at it. I had a partner and we worked a scheme together that coined money for a time. He never entered the races, hut always hacked me heavily and we split the winnings. He had invented a miniature propeller with a big spring as a motive power, on the same principle as a watch. At the side of the , boat house a little wharf rat used to dive under my boat and attach this | machine. When the starting gun went i off I only had to touch a button, the ' propeller set to work, and I could regulate my speed by rowing as the situation demanded. I was a champion and won money against all coiners until the boj WU sci/,',i with a cramp one day. He came up yelling, holding the machine over his head. My partner and I escaped in the confusion and never went hack.” "It's odds,” said a brawny and grizzled listener. "I joined that crowd Just after you left, and there was a standin' offer of a thousand fur anyone that would bring you into camp. I was something of an oarsman myself, but the company was a little too fast, so I eddicated a big rat flsh that was as strong as a yoke of steers. I had a collar with a ring on that I 'tached to a hook under the boat. Mr. Catfish would hitch himself on there when the gun cracked, and I’ll be durned if I didn't have to hack water sometimes to keep frum makin' express time. In my last race I capsized, and that durned fish just got skeered an’ took the boat down the river like a rocket. I swum to th’ other shore in a hail of bullets an' got away. The man who had told the first story solemnly removed his hat and every other listener followed his example, "Take th’ money, pard," was all he could bring himself to say.

CANNING AND PRESERVING. OF

1

FRONT OF PHOENIX SCHOOL, pects. Thf writer lias known the Pima Indians on their reservation as a fierce, sullen, ebstinate and cruel lot of savages, with a record second to not even the Apaches for horrible butcheries of white settlers and unspeakable barbarities upon their enemies in warfare. It was. thirefore, a surprise to see ovr 150 of the boys and girls of these desert savages come imtiching into the chapel with military precision, dressed in handsome, neat-fitting garments, wearing linen shirts and with their hair brushed with as much nicety as that of a city dude. But the surprise did not end there. When the opining hymn was announced one of the Apache Indian girls that 10 months before was running wild on the desert of the Gila, readily turned to the number, and, handing the writer the book, asked in good English it he would not take part with them. Some of them sing splendidly, and the superintendent of the school says they are natural musicians. Several of the younger ones have learned to play the organ, and with the French harp they will make an average city gamin ashamed of himself. Professor Hall, of the Phoenix Indian school, relates a recent incident illustrating the superstition among the Pimas. One day four of their chief subchiefs fame in to see a teacher there. They were so excited 'hat they waived the usual Indian formality, and in sign of their deep distress sat on the floor. They said that there were some Indians down on the reservation that never slept. They walked all nignt kng; they were witches: they had bewitched their cattle and children, and they were all dying and they wanted him to come down and arrest the evlldeers. A year ago they would have taken clubs and beaten their brains out themselves, but they are getting to respect the United Slates law. There was no use of laughing, for it was a sad reality to them, and though the professor told them there were no such things as witches, he went down with them and found ihe children dying

TWO WAYS.

In telling an anecdote, it is highly important to know the end from the beginning. Prof. Ario Bates, in his "Talks on Writing English,” says he has to thank an Englishman for having unconsciously furnished him with an example of the disadvantage of relating an anecdote with the wrong end first. Ho told in the smokingroom of a I^mdon hotel an Incident which I dimly remembered as being in James Dodds' “Biographical Study of Chalmers,” and l made a note of his version in order to compare the two. This is Dodds’ story: "Chalmers was present at an evening party where a very accomplished lady was discoursing most eloquent music from the fashionable opera of the day. “When she was at the overture and the recitative, he looked perplexed, as if listening to a medley of madness; but when she struck upon some lively and expressive airs, he turned with a look of relief to the gentleman who was next to him: ‘Do you know, sir, I love these lucid intervals!' ” This Is the way In which the English gentleman told it: "I say. don't you know. Dr. Chalmers called tunes lueid intervals. Wasn't that good? Lucid intervals, by Jove! He heard a lady sing, don't you know, and that's what he said. He didn't mean all tunes, of course; but she'd been playing things, you know, and putting in instrumental fallals anil crazy things on the keys, and finally came to a song. I call that witty, don't you know!"

The celebration of the semi-centen-nial, which has just taken place was the most important event in the history of Mormonism. It was something more than the anniversary of the settlement of Utah by the Latter Day Saints under Brigham Young. It marks the Americanization of the Mormon church and. the end of the bitter warfare that has been going on for fifty years. It is the outward and visible announcement that prejudices have disappeared, that Mormon and Gentile are one people, brothers in fact and in name. Salt Lake is today one of the most beautiful cities in America. It has about 50,000 people and the police force numbers about one man to each 2,000 inhabitants. In the great cities of the world the ratio is about one policeman to five hundred people. Its fine schools are the work of the Gentiles, but all other things are the monuments reared by the Mormons. That magnificent temple, whieli was a quarter of a century in building, the great tabernacle, seating 14,000 people, is one of the wonders of the New World, and which has acoustic properties that verge upon the uncanny. In this turtle-backed building a pin dropped on the platform can be heard 200 feet away in any part of the building. In it, too, is the largest organ in the

world.

The tithing house, that square of one-story buildings and tents which Is really nothing more than a great market place, the Assembly, the Amelia palace and the other buildings which are a part of the growth of the Latter Day Saints is the next important sight. The story of the exploration of these people into an unknown wilderness is one of frightful privation and tremendous heroism. They reached Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. Brigham Young declared that this desert was the home of the Mormon people and there should they remain and prosper. With this fiftieth anniversary at hand it is pleasant to remember that the first act of the colonists was to raise the American flag on the highest peak near the present site of Salt I.ake City. After hoisting the stars and stripes the leader of these sturdy pioneers drove four stakes into the ground. “Here,” he said, “we will build our Temple.” And there it was built, although it was completed only a few years ago. That year Salt I.ake City was laid

out. Some of the colonists remained there. Others returned with Young to bring out those who had stayed be-

hind.

They took with them rations for a year. They were told of the sufferings they must endure. Yet they traveled the fifteen hundred miles gladly. They made their homes in the repellant land because Brigham Young told them that there they would thrive and be-

come mighty.

More than any other Mormon,

I Young has received his meed of praise. He was a truly great leader of men \ and one of the greatest colonists the world has ever known. His people be- ' lieved in him because they were sure he received revelations from God. ; Brigham Young was always a great

hand at receiving revelations. Brigham Young was trained as a

farmer. It was he who designed and directed the system of irrigation which \ made the land productive. The Mormons wrested their living from the soil by main strength. Verily they made

I the desert blossom as the rose. It was Brigham Young who created

the whole system of Mormonism. who counselled his people to gather In villages and towns. It Is plain now that it was ever his aim to have the Mor- ! mons bound together by the closest

| ties.

No sooner were the first colonists firmly established than missionaries were sent forth to gain converts, and this has been followed to this very j day. It was Young who provided for ! the tithing system, which insured that the church should become rich beyond measure. It was Brigham Young who made the church the dominant force, the real leader and government. No ruler of an absolute monarchy, no feudal lord ever had more power over his subjects than Brigham Young over the Mormons. And the power and wealth of the Mormons prove that he was a wise and really groat leader. But Brigham Young was an advocate of polygamy and he practiced what he preached to a greater extent than any one else. It is rather remarkable that Young was never accused of being a fanatic. Of two things only were Mormons accused—the practice of polygamy and the murder of apostates. That a certain percentage of them did practice polygamy is true. That they ever murdered any one who was false to the faith has never been proved. Nay,

the time has come when this charge is not believed, although stories aplenty may be heard. On the other hand, the Mormons possessed many virtues. They were marvels of Industry, as they are tpday —thrifty, earnest, honest people. They love their church with a devotion that borders on fanaticism. They care for their poor, of whom there are few. They provided schools In which the Mormon religion was principally taught from the beginning. They gave a tenth of their possessions to the church and still they prospered. They were taught and they believed that the church was the highest authority. They believed that polygamy was pleasing to the Almighty and that He enjoined its practice upon his people through his prophets. How much polygamy had to do with the success of the Mnjpion church in the early days is a question yet to be determined. The ablest people believe that it has always been a curse. There can be no doubt that the practice resulted in many horrible things and that the women who were sharing a husband often suffered. And it is true that often young women were compelled, much against their will, to marry men who already had two or three wivea On Oct. 6, 1890, came the proclamation of President Woodruff, announcing the purpose of the church to no longer sanction polygamy, and calling upon the adherents of the church to obey the laws of the United States. This was a tdtter law for many members of the church. They believed in polygamy with all the ardor of fanatics. They believed that it was a means of grace. For years polygamy had been dying out. The advance in education among the Saints themselves and influence of the Gentiles, particularly the women, had much to do with it. It was the women who broke down the barriers, aided by the children of polygamous marriages. It is rather strange, in view of the agitation concerning Mormon women, that Mormon women have now the fullest political privileges. Utah places men and women on a perfect equality. Dr. Mattie Cannon, a prominent Mormon woman and a physician, has the honor of being the first woman senator in the world. She had the unique experience of running on the Democratic ticket, while her husband was the Republican candidate.

TIik Care of An Owl. W. H. P. -Please tell me how to feed an owl. What is the length of an owl's life? What kind of a cage should it have? Ans. This bird naturally feeds on mice and small animals, birds especially, but as it takes its food alive at first it should be so provided. It is difficult to change the habits of a wild animal, as it will starve rather than eat strange food. But after a while it may eat fresh meat, and later may be taught to eat cooked meat when cold. Owls feed on mice mostly. Squirrels and small birds are welcome food, but they are all eaten alive, and this bird must be taught to change its habit in this respect by degrees. After this is done further change is easy. Owls are long lived: some historical birds have been said to have lived over a hundted years. They are not pleasant pets on account of their filthy habits, being prone to vomit their half-digested food, and balls of hair and feathers swallowed with It. The cage may be a box of good size, with a perch fixed through the center of it. and closed'in front by stout bars of wood.

Hravc Deed of a Id g: lit house Girl at Matlnicu* Kock. Several of the violent storms that have whirled over the Matinlcus rock have tried the fortitude of the little band of faithful watchers upon it, says the Century Magazine. One of these watchers, Abby Burgess, lias become famous in our lighthouse annals, not only for long service, but also for bravery displayed on various occasions. Her father was keeper of the rock from 1853 to 1861. In January, 1X5G, when she was 17 years of age, he left her in charge of the lights while he crossed to Matinicus Island. His wife was an invalid, his son was away cn a cruise and his other four children were little girls. The following day it began to “breeze up,” the wind increased to a gale and soon developed into a storm almost as furious as that which carried away the tower on Minots ledge in 1851. Before long the seas were sweeping over the rock. Down among the bowlders was a chicken coop which Abby feared might be carried away. On a lonely ocean outpost like Matinicus rock a chicken is regarded witli affectionate interest, and Abby solicitous for the safety of the inmates of the little coop, waited her chance, and whch the seas fell off a little rushed kr.ee deep through the swirling water and rescued all but one of the chickens. She had hardly closed the door of the dwelling behind her when a sea. breaking over rock, brought down the old cobblestone house with a crash. While the storm was at its height the waves threatened the granite dwelling, so that the family had to take refuge in the towers for safety, and there they remained with no sound to greet them without but the roaring of the wind around the lanterns, and no sight

but the sea sheeting over the rock. Yet through it all the lamps were trimmed and lighted. Even after the storm abated the reach between the rock and Matinicus Island was so rough that Uapt Burgess could not return until four weeks later.

KEEPS TAB ON THE SMOKER.

Higgext l*ml<llnc Kver Cooked. Ill 1718, we are told. James Austin, a London trader, invited his customers to a feast. A pudding was promised, which was to be boiled fourteen days Instead of seven hours. It weighed 900 pounds. The copper for boiling it was erected at the Red Lion in Southwark park, where crowds went to see it; and when boiled it was to be conveyed to the Swan tavern, Fish street hill, to the tune of “What Lumps of Pudding My Mother Gave Me.” The place, however, was changed to the Restoration gardens in St. George's fields, in consequence of the numerous company expected. When the day arrived, the pudding set out in procession, with banners, streamers, drums, etc., lint on the way a mob attacked it and made spoil of the whole. So nearly half a ton of pudding was distributed. much against the will of the proprietor, among the London poor.—Exchange.

W atch Charm Cigar Cutter Which Regisfr«*r* the Number# A new watch charm for gentlemen is useful in two ways—as a cigar cutter and as a register of the number of cigars cut in a day. Few men who smoke many cigars realize just how many are consumed in one day until they keep track of them. This little Charm is of silver and an ornament to the watch-guard. One man kept track of his cigars for three months and found that he smoked such an alarming number that he was endangering his health. This might be a good thing for wives to present to their husbands with the Christmas box of cigars, if not before. Some men might be induced to save enough on their cigars to buy a new sealskin for their better halves. It is a ;;?heine and might prove an excellent one.

Putting (|> trait.

In the Indies' Home Journal Mrs. 8. T. Rorer writes on "Canning and Preserving." At the outset of her lesson she emphasizes the value of securing perfectly sound and fresh fruits, and the necessity of getting the cans and canning appurtenances in readiness in advance. “To prevent breakage when filling the jars,” Mrs. Rorer advises that they be slipped "sidewise into a kettle of hot water, rolling them sP that every part may be quickly and uniformly heated. Fold a damp toweL place it in the bottom of a pudding pan, then near the preserving kettle; stand a jar on the towel, and if the fruit is small adjust the funnel; fill quickly to overflowing. Run a heated silver knife around the inside of the jar, to break any air bubbles that may have been caught with the fruit, and adjust the rubber, then lift the lid from the hot water and place it at once. If large fruit fill with a wooden spoon, arranging the fruit so that the weight of on* piece will not destroy the shape of an' other. Fill to overflowing with the liquid, water or syrup, and fasten tightly. After sealing stand the jars out of a draught over night. The glass by that time will have contracted, and the lids will, in consequence, be loose. Wipe each jar carefully, and give the top an extra turn. Put away in a cool, not cold, dark closet. At the end of a week examine each jar carefully, without shaking or disturbing more than necessary. If you find the lids slightly indented. the contents free from air bubbles or froth, and the liquid settled, you may rest assured ‘they will keep.’ If you do not find it so, open the jars to prevent bursting. Reheat the fruit, being careful to bring it to a boiling point

A DAINTY PICNIC LUNCHEON.

A Famous Cooking: Kxpert Suggests Some Appetizing; I)i*lie*. A goodly quantity of fruit, a box of well made sandwiches, some eggs and coffee, with a few lady fingers, will provide a comfortable luncheon and dinner,” writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer, who suggests a number of picnic luncheons in the August Ladies' Home Journal. "An alcohol stove, costing but twentyfive cents, with two ounces of alcohol, will furnish boiling water for the coffee, and will cook a dish of scrambled eggs or make a Welsh rarebit. For cooking the latter an ordinary tin piedish will answer. The coffee may lie finely ground and put into a cheesecloth bag in the coffee pot, all ready for the boiling water. Sandwishes are the most appropriate form of food for picnics, especially the dainty, appetizing sandwiches made of home made white or whole wheat bread, filled with a mixture of chopped meat, daintily seasoned. An agreeable acquisition to a picnic, luncheon or supper is a salad made either from some green vegetable or tomato. Half a pint of mayonnaise dressing may be carried in a jar, and the salad arranged on wooden plates. Vegetables and fruits serve as food and drink. Sardines, shrimps or salmon may be minced, rubbed to a paste with a little lemon juice, and used as filling for sandwiches. Lemons for lemonade may be squeezed at home, the juice mixed with a proper proportion of sugar. four tablespoonfuls to each good sized lemon, poured into a bottle and diluted at the picnic grounds. Condensed milk is easy to carry and will answer the purpose of either milk or -ream.”

A Mjgtery in Camp. A New Brunswick contributor to Forest and Stream relates an odd experience that befell a Mr. Hunter while on a hunting trip. He was at Forty-nine Mile camp, and went out to look after his horses, leaving a candle burning on the table. In a few minutes he returned to find the room dark. The candle had gone out, it appeared; but when he went to relight it he found that it was missing. Mr. Hunter was startled, not to say frightened. Perhaps he remembered some of the legends which attaeh to those wild forests. However, he lighted another candle, and by and by had occasion to go out again and look after his team. When he came back the room was dark again and the candle gone. This time, having lighted a third candle, he made a search of the premises. Nothing was to be seen. He put the candle in the table again, set his axe where it would be handy, and stepped into a corner. In a few minutes a flying squirrel came through the door, mounted the table, knocked over the candle, which went out as it fell, seized it in his mouth and started with it for the doo ( r.
