Who has not seen, about 8:30 o'clock
In the morning, a procession of white
faced, hollow-chosted little girls on
their way to school? It is early morning
and they might be supposed to have a
refreshing sleep, yet they look worn and
heavy-eyed, and in their walk there is
none of the elastic spring of youth.
They have not the buoyant air that one
is wont to associate with childhood, but
more as though they were burdened
with the cares of a long and unhappy
life. They skip not, neither do they
laugh or jump, but drag wearily along,
seldom lifting their joyless glances from
the ground.
With their fingers they clutched huge
packages of school books, and upon
their fragile arms hang baskets or
buckets containing luncheon which, if
they have the appetite to eat, they evi
dently have the vitality to digest. No
foot-sore dromedary swaying- mourn
fully through desert sands beneath the
indescribable vertical sun of the Soudan,
ever groaned beneath a burden so dis
proportioned to its strength as these
children, in a civilized age and by the
connivance of civilized parents, are
compelled to bear day after day through
years of their unhappy lives.
The curriculum or the average mod
ern school is to the children of this en
lightened land what the car of Jugger
naut was to the benighted Hindus. Its
remorseless wheels, impelled by as cruel
and ignorant a superstition as ever
reigned within a Brahmin's breast, roll
over those helpless little forms, crush
ing out health and joy, dimming the
brightness of these baby eyes, and
. blighting the blossom on the rounded
cheek. It is applied to all omers as
the bed of Procrustes was to every luck
less captive who fell into the monster's
hands. Feeble or strong, robust or del
icate, quick or halting, ambitious or re
luctant, all are forced into that appall
ing mould and fitted to it violently, no
matter how much of health or hippiness,
even life, may be the cost.

it accomplishes anything .or not,

an outlay of body strength. Every

TXenuonllea In the Northwest.
Pioneer Frews "Toics.."
The Mennomtes are, in their queei
way, the most soundly progressive of the
settlers on the Red river. They never
caught the spirit of the boom, but they
have made ends meet, and expecting not
too much have been little disappointed.
Outwardly a dull people, they are as
sure and quick to seize profitable meth
ods of farming as any of our western
landlords. They are leading the way in
the use of steam plows, which will, it
seems to me, cut a large figure sooner or
later in Red river farmiug. The farmer
who can turn under ins stubble at the
rate of twenty acres a day in August
and September, as scon as the harvest
is cleared from tho field, gains a month's
advantage in the spring for every week
of work in the fall.
The Mennonites have an old eettle
iu ent at Waynesboro, in the Pennsyl
vania tnd of the Cumberland valley,
where a large Menr.onite manufactory
of agricultural implements has grown
up. These people make traction en
gines and steam plows, and our western
Mennonites are buying them as fast as
they caa. The saving in the long, cold
Manitoban winters is a big- one. One
steam plow saves fourteen horses and
seven men. The seven months feed of
this many horses is more than the inter
est on the cost of the steam plow.
The .TIlnd-Readius "Pin Trick.'
Labouchera In London Troth.
Take, for instance, the trick of finding
a pin,
the whereabouts of which i3
known to the subject. The trick is gen
erally performed in a room full of people,
who also know where the pin is con
cealed. Collusion, therefore, is possible.
This, however, is not necessary, tor if the
performr. be adroit he knows where to
go, owing to the unconscious indications
given by the subject. Nothing is more
easy than to prove this. Let the subject'
be Vlindfolded instead of the performer,
and the latter will never find the pin.
I asked Mr. Stuart Cumberland whether
he could find a pin under those condi
tions. Being an honest man and making
no pretense to do more than closely fol
low indications, he replied that he could
not.

NEW BRITAIN'S CANNIBALS.
Savage of the Pacific Islands Who , Are
bat Utile Known.
Cincinnati Enquirer Interview.
In a River Bottom saloon, seated by
himself and never mingling in the polit
ical discussions of the various callers,
was seated a short, strongly built man,
whose hair and whiskers wero tinged
with gray. The barkeepor said he was
an English sailor, waiting to go
to New Orleans. By dint of a few
glasses of grog an Enquirer man infused
a little sociability into this chunk of John
Bullism, and found in him a man who
had visited a part of the world that to
civilized people is an unknown and un
explored region, lie had cruised three
years on an exploring expedition to the
islands of New Britain and the duke of
York, which lie in the Pacific oceyi,
east of New Guinea and northeast of
Australia. These islands are inhabited
by natives, who are- cannibals of the
worst description, and who afc so hos
tile to white men that missionaries and
traders have been alike murdered,
chopped up, cooked and eaten by them.
"Jlow did you get out into that
country?"
"Why, I was laid up in Australia,
and striking Sydney, which is quite a
place, I" shipped abroad a small vessel of
fifteen tons burden, but small as it was
it was big enough for the reefs and
dangers we went through."
"They are terrible flesh-eaters, are
they not?"
"Ves, no doubt of that. They hanker
after white man's flesh. They have a
chief who has two assistant one is a
talking man and the other a butcher.
Tho first fellow does the talking praises
up the chief and the latter does the
killing and cutting up. They never eat
the head, and they let the entails severely
alone. The leg and arm bones of men
who are their enemies they put in the
butt end of their spears, for the natives
believe that when this is done it gives
them the strength of the man whose
bones they carry. Then, again, they
think it makes them safe against any
wounds which the eaten man" relatives
might inflict."
"How do they cure wounds when they
are inflicted by medicine men, like the
Indians."
"On, no. They have surgeons, and
their instrument are queer enough.
Why, they cut off a man's leg with a
piece of obsidian."
"And what's obsidian!"
"Something that comes out of volca
noes. Then they use a shark's tooth
and a piece of glass. Now take a
broken arm. I've seen a native surgeon
t.eat such a case. He goes to work and
cuts the flesh to the bones, then draws
the bones into position and puts a piece
of bamboo to keep the bone i place,
and then binds the wound up.
"What becomes of the bamboo stays
in the wound?"
"Oh," no. It works out after a time,
and the wound heals up."
"What medicines do they use?"
"O, they bleed for everything. If a
man has got the headache they cut
gashes in the skin and let the blood
flow, and then stop it with burned
lime.".
"Have they any religion any ideas
about a future state?" J
"That's hard to say. I don't think
they have any idea of a God that now
exists, but they have got some rude
ideas about a superior being that lived
at so-ne remote period. One of them
once told me, pointing to the mountains
and valleys with which the island
abounded: 4 A big pig rooted them up,
and down and made them.' Bit they
have queer ideas about their dead
friends, are very superstitious on the
subject. For instance, they say they
have a good or bad influence on them,
and that they go across the water to the
moon and then to the stars, which they
consider lamps in the sky to guide
them."
"But how do they get there?"
"In their canoes, by water. They
think the ocean, some way, is connected
a way off with the skies."
. "How are the dead buried?"
"That depends upon how important
they are. If they are of littlo import
ance, they are placed in a sitting po
ture on a reef at low water, where they
will, when the tide rises, be carried off
by sharks, but generally they are placed
in a canoe and buried under ground. "
"How about the chiefs?"
"Then they have a time. His body is
laid in bis canoe, surrounded by scented
herbs. His relatives give a great feast
and ask in all the neighboring chiefs.
The mourners give each visitor a fathom
of taboo. The body is covered with co
coanut mats and raised to its resting
place in the forked branches of trees.
Then dancing begins, and lasts for sev
eral nights. Now comes in the use of
the talking-man. He goes around to
each guest and discourses upon the
many virtues of the deceased. Some
times the chiefs head is cut off and the
skull preserved by his son and succes
sor, who wraps it up in banana leaves
and places it in the hut."
"Do you go back?"
"Not if I know myself."
An Electrical Kalnbow.
Regarding an "electrical rainbow,"
Mr. B. S. Newall, of Ferendene, thus
writes'to The Nature: "I was one of a
deputation of River Tyne commissioners
who visited the South Foreland to see
the experimental lights now on trial
there. We were walking across the field
from the lights toward the observing
hut No. 2, a distanco of about a mile
and a half. There was a fog, more or
less, and a shower of rain as we were
approaching tho hut, and every time the
electric light from 'A' tpwer revolved a
rainbow, verv like a faint lunar bow,
made its appearance. I could not see
any prismatic color, and the bow was
only produced by the large electric
light, with carbonsof 1 inches in diam
eter. There was no bow visible from
the old light, which has carbons about
inch square, and none from either the
gas or oil lights. I was informed that
this was the first time such a phenom
enon had been observed.

Some Facts About Far.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the most important fur-bearing
animals that we have is the common cat,
and it is astonishing to know tho num
ber used in cheap furs, over 1,000,000
being thus utilized last year. The kinds
most preferred are the pure white, and
black fat Maltese sell well, while the
yellow and parti-colored cat skins are
dved and sold under a variety of fancy
names. There is every thing in a name;
for example, over 350,000 skunk skins
are mado up into furs every winter,
bought and worn, but not as skunk.
They go off as Alaska, sable, Chinese
mink, or something of the, kind. Ohio
and New York provide the most of them
and, as in tho capture of the lion and
tiger, brave men aru required. The fur,
however, is beautiful, long and glossy,
and by no means the cheapest of furs.
Tho'muskrat, over 3,000,000 and some
times 5,000,000 of which are taken every
year, is much used in the manufacture
of bats. The New lork muskratsare
worth 75 cents, while Delaware and
Maryland produce an animal worth twice
as mucn. mis innocent creature is
often utilized by dealers as seal, and,
when dyed, so passed upon the public.
Cheap grades of furs are made from
tho Siberian squirrel, muskrats, rabbits,
wildcats, badger and 'coon. Of lion
skins 500 are consumed by the trade
every year; while 20,000 bears, 500
tigers, 100,000 buffalo, 100,000 chinchil
las and 6,000,000 squimls have been
used yearly in various branches of trade.
Beavers to the number of 20,000 are
yearly sacrificed, and it is safe to say
that in fifty years tho animals will have
become extinct. In all, over half a
million foxes are taught yearly, and it
would seem that they will follow the
same fate.
A Patent Spotter.
Indianapolis Journal.
A new cash and ticket indicator is
attracting some attention with railroad
men. The device has for its object the
prevention of a diversion of cash receipts
from their proper destination; being
intended to prevent conductors from
fobbing moneys collected on the trains,
and keeping and selling uncanceled
tickets, the appliance at the same time
furnishing the company with a full and
complete rocord of all passengers carried
on the trains, whether they pay cash,
present ti ets, or hand in trip passes.
It consists of a box with a glass
front, one of these boxes being
placed on a panel between the windows
under V 3 rack, for each double seat. In
this box the conductor places the ticket,
which falls into one of the two upper
compartments, and remains in sight in
that compartment until the lid is again
raised for tho reception of another
ticket, when the first one falls into the
lower compartment, still remaining in
sight, but inaccessible by any but the
proper agent at the place or station ap
pointed. As each new passenger takes a seat he
drops into the lower compartment the
ticket of his predecessor in that sett. A
passenger can tell from the "indicator"
whether or not a scat is really occupied;
and if it is being "bogged" (or occupied
by some mythical "friend''' of the pas
senger in the next seat) he can readily
disprove tho occupancy. At the same
time, a passenger who leaves his seat at
a static), beSjro his jouraey's end, has
his right seat reserved to him, but he
cannot reserve tw seats at nce i-n the
train. '
A Field of Coral.
Interview with a Diver.
"One of the most remarkable sights
that I observed," remarked the diver,
"were the coral beds. From a boat they
present nothing unusual a brown mass
of pointed stems or branches but one
day I had tho boat placed on the- edge
of a channel, and gradually walked
down into it until I attained the bottom,
and I tell you the scene was impressive.
I seemed to be in the streets of a city.
The bottom upon which 1 stood was a
pure white sand, hard and firm, and
perfectly free from coral; but on either
side rose a perpendicular wall of the
branch coral nearly forty feet high, all
the points extending directly outward
or toward me, and presenting a magnifi
cent unbroken surface of a rich olive
brown hue.
"Hidden, and only noticed when the
coral was broken away, were myriads of
sea eggs of echini of all shapes and
colors. Some were jet black with spines
like needles. Another kind had short
spines, and were albinos, or perfectly
white. They are eaten in some parts of
Italy, and considered a great, luxury;
but they are not used in Florida. They
have no lobsters there, but their place is
taken by what they onll the cray-lish. It
looks like a lobster, only it is a yellow
hue, and fnstead of having two large
claws, has two enormous whips or feel
ers. The great mass of coral was per
fectly undermined by these creatures,
their whips projecting and waving to
and fro continually."
Henry Ward Beecher: There are a great
many griefs, springing from various
fountains of the human soul, but that by
which men feel that they are brought
under the derison and contempt of their
fellow-men is the most acute and most
unbearable of any emotion of the mind.

A PITIFUL FATE!
How & Minister's ood Deed Landed
XXim In an Insane Asylum-The
Story of His Escape.
To the Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel:
Sir: I havn tpaH a cood many stories
of late concerning the conflneihentof sane
persons in lunatic asylums, ana x am
thereby prompted to relate a bit of per
sonal experience.
In the year 185. while I was serving the
Methodist Episcopal Church in a New
England town, a neighbor's house took
fire. In common with others, I stood on
the edge of the roof, passing buckets of
water, exposed to intense heat on one
side and freezing winds on the other. I
took a fearful cold. For twenty-five years
it worked havoc in my physical and men
tal systems. Nevertheless, I continued
in my ministerial duties. 1 preached
many a sermon when suffering intense
agony. At certain periods, however. I
would be comparatively well, and then
again, my head wonld get heavy, my
breathing labored, my appetite fickle. I
would lose interest in life; feel sleepy at
mid-day, and wakeful at midnight. My
heart occasionally gave me great con
cern. Not knowing to the .contrary, I
attributed this ill leeling to malaria. But
eventually mental strength faded away,
and I was utterly prostrated, I was cau
terized, cupped, blistered, and treated by
many phybivians in many different ways.
My case was a puzzle as much to my
physicians as to myself. For one of them at
first piiesciibed for delirium tremens, and
yet I never had tasted intoxicating
liquors. Another said I had brain dis
ease, another spinal difficulty, another
nervous prostration, heart disease, etc.
My mind eventually gave way, and in
1882 1 was confined in the Brattleboro,
Vt., Insane Asylum .for six " months.
When I knew where I was, I demanded
Instant release. I then" 'made a visit to
Oceanic, N. J., but I had reckoned too
much on my strength. I again lost my
reason for a considerable. period.
That I was in a desperate condition is
evident. My blood had become infected
with virus, which inflamed my brain occa
sionally and doomed me to an early death:
for no physician gave me anv hope of a
cure. I finally found out what my real
disorder was, and undertook my own
treatment. In a few months I was re
stored to such a state of health as I never
expected to enjoy. That was over three
years ago, and my physical and mental
health have remained intact to this day.
Last March I came west, and engaged
in garden farming. In all that time I have
not lost a day's work; have apparently
enjoyed the most vigorous health and I
expect to live the full term of life. The
remedy I used was warner's safe cure,
and if I should live a thousand years, I
should never tire of telling its praises.
You will confess with me, Mr. Editor,
that such a change is remarkable. And
you will, also, I am sure, agree with me,
when I say that whatever created such a
mental and physical restoration is deserv
ing the highest praise.
Very truly yours,
Rev. E.1D. HOPKINS.
Dodge's Comers, Wis.

A Snow-Melting Machine.
AU'enj Journal.!
A New York inventor lias gone to
work in proper reason to build find test
a snow-melting device deigned to clear
tho streets of that city during the win
ter. It is a f urnace-liko arrangement,
intended to bo drawn through the
streets on the railway tracks, and i
intendod to melt sixty carloads of
snow an hour, or as fast a ten men can
shovel it in. The railway companies in
New York are required to clear the
streets of snow, and have heretofore
been compel led to pay from 50 to 75
cents a load for carting it away. They
have also bad much trouble in finding
a place to dump it withont objection.
The machine, it is supposed, will melt
tho snow so that it cm be run off into
the sewers, and to do it at less cost tbaa
would be involved in carting it away.
KtrauBO Kedlglona Sect.
tCuicajo Time.
In an article on the religious, exalta
tions of tho Orient Dr. Zambaco de
scribes the sect of Kafais, who in their
religious ceremonies jump, dance, os-.
cillate, . and shriek for two hours at a
time, until they fall into convulsions. .
When the excitement is at its height,
their power of feeling physical pain ap
pears to bo lost, for they pierce their
limbs and bodies with sharp knives,
and often swallow broken glass, living
scorpions, and cactus leaves armed with
thorns.
Could Tell hy the Smell.
Texas Kiftius.
A fastidious Austin dude has his hair
curled twice a week. Tho tonsorial art
ist is not very particular, so the young
man said:
"I wish yo a would le a little particu
lar with those curling irons. You should
try them on a piece of paper first, and
see if they are not too hot."
"I don't need to do that. I can al
ways tell by tho smell of the burnt hair,
woen the iron are too not.
