tion of Sousa, the leader of the Marine
Band, with extreme regret. The Colonel

wiBe. Secretary Tracy will give the name of
Brooklyn to the new armored cruiser re
cently authorized by Congress. The

steps are now being taken, ine land
must first be surveyed, and then the In
dians are given six months to make their
selections of allotments; and the land
will then be thrown open to settlement
under the homestead laws only. All but
the mountainous regions will be sur
veyed, and the unsurveyed portion will
be set apart for all the Indians. The
ceded lands iu the Colville Indian reser
vation will not be opened until that por
tion wanted by the Indians is surveyed
and their allotments made. The lands
will then be disposed of under the land
laws of the United States, which means
nnder the homestead, mineral, desert-
land and Pacific Coast timber-land laws.
Any person who ha, ever perfected his
homestead right will not be entitled to
enter nnder the law ; but, if it lias never
been perfected, he may enter 18) acres
of land and prove up after residing four
teen months upon the tract. The home
stead settler must pay $1.50 an acre lor
the land, and must make it within five
years o&the time the entry was made.
None of the ceded lands will be disposed
of at public auction. The Indians must
make their allotment selections irom tne
surveyed lands. It is the intention to
survey only the agricultural lands first.
Then the President's proclamation will
be issued, and the Indian selections must
be made within six months after the
proclamation has been issued, after
which the white men will have a chance.
White men may select lands, but during
the first six months the Indian can re
move him.
EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Public-School Teachers Not Paid a Fixed
Salary in Kentucky Harvard's
Largest Graduation.
The total gifts to Yale for 1891-2 have
been about J 000,00 J.
Chicago baa forty married women
public-school teachers.
Prof. John K. Lord baa been elected
acting President of Dartmouth.
Four of the School Commissioners in
the State of New York are women, and
110 are men.
Oxford University according to Mr
Gladstone has good reason to reckon
Dante among its former students.
Kansas has a school for every 185 in
habitants, a Sunday school for every 420
and only five criminals for every 10,000.
Bequests for religious, educational and
charitable purposes under 120 of the
wills reported in this country last year
amounted to about $7,000,000.
According to the census bulletin on
educational statistics there were 12,592,
721 pupils enrolled in the public schools
of the country in 1890, as against 9,951,
608 in 1880.
In Kentucky the public-school teach
ers are not paid a fixed salary, but re
ceive so much for each pupil. This plan
has one good effect, that of stimulating
teachers to secure scholars and thus ex
tend the benefits of education; but some
have been found making false returns.
North Carolina spent last year $781,
225.40 on her schools, and of this amount
$240,047.77 was spent for the colored
children. The av r ige monthly salary
for males in the white schools was $25.80
and for females $22.95; in the colored
schools, for males, $22.72, and for fe
males, $20.36 per month.
Harvard's largest class graduated this
year at its two hundred and fiftieth com
mencement. The gifts and bequests for
the year were more than $500,000. Tne
first step, have this year been taken to
ward tne complete organization of the
university as a large body of strong,
well-organised secondary schools. The
completion of the scheme requires ten
years.
By the death of Mrs. Fayerweather
the whole of the wealthy leather mer
chant's fortune will now be divided
among colleges and charitable institu
tions. In all five hospitals and twenty
one colleges will finally reap the benefit
of this munificence. It is not often that
in one man we meet both the ability and
the Inclination to leave behind him so
strong and lasting an aid to the cause of
hcarity and education.

One of the theories of the age was that
tho devil set his mark upon each of Lis
servants that witches were all marked.
A jury of the sex of the accused wat ap
pointed to examine the body for such,
marks. It often happened that some ex
crescence of flesh common to old people,
or one explainable by natural causes, was
found. One such was found on the body
of Goody Nurse and reported to the
court, all but one of the jury agreeing to
the report Rebecca Preston and Mary
Tarbell knew that the mark was from
natural causes. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woman of
the jury of examination was one of the
tnoet ancient, skillful and prudent, and
further declared, "I there rendered a
sufficient known reason of the moving
cause thereof." She asked for the ap
pointment of another jury to inquire
into the case and examine the marks
found on her person.
The jury of trials returned a verdict
of not guilty. Thereupon all the ac
cusers in court "cried out" with renewed
vigor and were taken in the most vio
lent fits, rolling and tumbling about,
creating a scene of the wildest confusion.
The judges told the jurymen that they
had not carefully considered one ex
pression of the prisoner, namely, that
when one Hobbs, a confessing witch,
was brought in as evidence against her
she said: "What, do you bring her? She
is one of us." The jury retired for fur
ther consultation. Even then they could
not agree upon a verdict of guilty.
They returned to the courtroom and de
sirod that the accused explain the re
mark. She made no response, and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty. New

Barbarian Bee Communities.
The so called queen bee la really the
mother of the hive. Her functions are
maternal rather than regaL If she may
be said to reign in a certain sense, the
workers rule, deciding all questions and
performing all acts affecting the com
mon weaL Popnlon? and powerful bee
communities souiciiuies relapse into
barbarism, renounce the life of peaceful
industry for which they have become
proverbial, acquire predatory habits and
roam about the country as freebooters,
plundering the smaller and weaker
hives and subsisting on the spoils.
These brigand bees seldom reform; if
they busily "improve each shining hour''
it is not to "gather honey all the day
from every opening flower," but to
range the fields in looting parties and
ransack the homes of honest honey
makers. Against these marauders of
apian society and other foes the honey
bees often fortify their hives, barricad
ing the entrance by a thick wall, with
bastions, casemates and deep, narrow
gateways. When there seems to be no
immediate danger " hostile attack these
defensive works, which, seriously inter
fere with the ordinary industrial life of
the hive, are removed and not rebuilt
until there is fresh occasion for alarm.

Man and Wife Live as Strangers.
Pleasanton, Mich., has a queer case.
Fourteen years ago a man bought a lot

Three years later a woman settled down
on a lot near by, but did not seem to
know her neighbor, who, it appears, had
deserted her some years before. For
nine years husband and wife lived with
in gun shot of each other without ex
changing a word. Last week the man
went to his wife's house, and in less than
half an hour the two went back to the
husband's residence and have been liv

old, and seem to be happy over their
reconciliation. Philadelphia Times.
