SLEEP ON A FARM.
A Palo Younc Man's Discouraging
Advor.turo In tho Country
"N'," nui'l (In; pain youn man, wully,
I iitu not worlwiitj dii a farm for my
ln'iilth now."
"J tllilt HO?"
"Yes. I liavo como nw.iy, and tho
farm nliidi 1ik-w mo would, perhaps,
know mo yet if it could y t a fright of
Jiif, Init it fiiu't.
"I wtiit out, you know, ly tho udvice
of a hy.kic'iin. Said he: 'You need out
door excrcisi!, and above all, sleep, such
loii. quiet 1 1 i 1 1 sleep as you can only
find in tin; country away from the roisc
and heat of tho city, 'with the ;ie:it open
windows and tin: cool velvety I'i'ccze
Jloatin through your room all pijjht
lon;, 'w'th. perhaps, an occasional n'ght
with the puttering i!imi upon the roof to
lull you to sleep.' ThatAs what the doc
tor .said.
So I hired out to a fanner to work all
summer. He sa:d I wa.s so wh'te and
j)ale that he couldn't give me nuytliMig
J ut my ioa'd for my services, lut if I
wanted to wo. k for that I m'ghi climb in
behind the seat and ride out.
So I did. lie had one mule and one
liorse and the mule balked every tunc we
Avent tip a h'.ll and the horse every tune
Ave went down a h'll, and they both tried
to lift away ou the level. lie drove them
with a t race-chain tied to a white ash axe
helve. I hit we got out there at last. I don't
w ant to tell you anything about the work
todiy I lniven t time but I do feel as
if I imi4 say something about those long
nights' sleep.
The first night we got home late, but
still the sun was onlv nicely down. The
sun sets about two hours later out there
than anywhe e else in the known world.
After supoer the farmer ppent one hour
and a ha'f telling me about the flax crop
on the back foriy, and then he reckoned
we'll better milk. There ware twelve
cows and he s:'d cneh -would take si.;.
He gave me the 5 h ke s and it took me
two houis and it had been dark a long
fine when I tioi-hed. Then he had me
pump ui) water for the next day. And
it took i'o' i v ni'-uites. Then I filled the
wood-box and ()'": the k;ulling wood.
And as it was a b'g bo.-; it tock thirty
minutes. Thou he tohl me about the oat
crop, which took an hour. And Avhen I
went to bed it was growing light in the
east.
The window in the loom was a pane of
glass naded over an 5 -egiar hole in the
boards and could not be opened. I felt
around in the dim light and finally got
into bed. I had jit fa"en ashiep and
begun to d-eam I was !y"ng a'ong vhe
r"dge-polc or a doub'-j-huui'ied camel,
when the fa die- pounded ou the sta'i'3
with an old broomstick and said break
fast was read. I couldn't see that it
was any lighter than when I went to bed
although the sky in the east was a little
redder.
I will pass over the day as it is painful
to recall. Or rather the day and the last
end of one night and the first end of an
other, for we were in the hay field six
teen hours.
And that even5 i after supper he said
that I might tlrow the dirt out of a new
cellar while I rented.
Then we milked, ami he gave me
eight cows instead of s;: all k'ekers.
And one was a hooker, too, and slammed
me through the corn-crib.
I got to bed an hour sooner than the
night befo e because he said he was
thinl ing some of getting up early the
next morning.
And that n;ght it ra;ned, and I heard
the pleasant patter of the lain on the roof
that that old fraud, of a doctor spoke
about. IJut 5t didn't lull me to sleep be
cause it leaked down on me and got the
bed-clothes wet, and I caught cold.
And when the fanner ponded on the
stairs I got up and looked at my watch,
and I had been abed an hour and forty
m'uutcs. And my clothes were wet, and
there was water in my shoes.
But it was a good day and we worked
at the hay aga'n. We mowed down what
the farmer cabled a "s'ather' o? it. And
that n'ght after I had rested awhile on
the cellar and milked fie twelve cows
twelve kickers and one of them thought
I was trying to kidnap her calf and chased
me out of the yard the farmer said it
lokcd like rain ag:;in, and he reckoned
we'd better go out and cock up that hay
before bed-t'me.
And before we got into the field I saw
the morning star, and when I had got up
twelve bunches of hay and the old hypo
crite of a farmer four, I heard a lark
Then when I had up twenty-f our bunches
and the farmer si c it began to grow quite
light.
When the farmer saw it he laid down
on the hay and laughed for ten minutes.
lie said we had worked right through
the night without knowing it.
But I had known more about it than
he thought I hud.
We worked an hour longer and then
we went to the house and I.m.ilked
Breakfast wasn't quite ready and 1 threw
a couple of cubic yards of sand out of
the cellar.
And while we were eating the farmer
told mo to hurry becaiuo he would like
to get in one full day's work during bay
ing. I fcaid I would, too, and that I
would stop and gt out and harncsH the
horses. And he said that was buHinesa
and I went out and ran down the road
and walked into town.
And now I am looking for that old
liar of a physician and surgeon who told
me about the long nights' sleep I would
get on a farm." Dakota Bell.
Wc would be pleased to know of a
man or woman who has never had head
ache or been subject to constipation. As
those seem to bu universal troubles alittle
advice may be in order. Why should
persons cram their stomachs with nau
seating purgative pills etc. which sicken
and debilitate when such a pleasant and
sterling remedy as Prickly Ash Bitters
will act mildly and effectively on the liv
er, kidney, stomach and bowels, und at
the same time tone up and strengthen tho
w hole system, causing headache, consti
pation and all such distressing evils to
quickly disappear. XO-.nl
Tho Montana Industrial School For
Indians.
In connection with the present move
ment to introduce manual training as a
factor in the common-school education,
it is valuable to make note of the testi
mony to its educational effectiveness de
rived from experiments in other fields.
Its introduction into the colored schools
of the South lias been followed by most
beneficial results, and we now learn of its
success among the Indian tribes.
The American Unitarian Association is
one of the religious bodies of thecountrX
which, since 1874, has had charge of the
education of the IndianB. This associa
tion has nominally been in charge of the
Utes. The attempt to establish an indus
trial school for the Utes failed, however,
because of the frequent removal of the
tribe, its opposition to all forms of civil
ization, and the lack of sufficient govern- i
mcnt support. Sir. Henry F. Bond, the
representative of the association, then
turned Ins attention to tho Crow reserva
tion 5n Montana.
The Crow tribe, which numbers about
thirty-five hundred, of whom about eight
hundred are children of school age, have
never had any settled missionary or edu
cational work done amoDg them, except
a small government school at the agency.
The tribe had been originally assigned to
the Methodist, but no work has been
done by them, though they, as well as the
Catholics, have recently secured mission
ary sites on the reservation, which will
soon be occupied.
The Crows have alway9 been the firm
friends and allies of the whites. They
have resisted all overtures from other
tribes to join them in hostilities, and have
always been ready to take up arms against
any tribe, even their own friends, who
made war on the whites. It is perhaps
for this very reason that they have been
for so long neglected by missionary
bodies, whose efforts have been directed
to the Christianization and civilization of
those tribes from whom most danger was
to be apprehended. As a natural result
of this neglect, the Crows are among the
least civilized of all the tribes. They
cling to their wild ways of life, and arei
reluctant to settle down to habits of in
dustry. They are sensual and immoral
in their practices. But the universal tes
timony of the twelve agents who have
been appo:nted to the Crows, in the last
eighteen years, is that they are docile,
good-tempered, and not inclined to in
temperance, as are most other tribes, and
that they are faithfully endeavoring to
adapt themselves to their changed condi
tion. They have agreed to take up allot
ments, and to build houses on their bome-
steads, and cultivate the ground. The
government has sent out farmers with
their families to settle among them, and
to instruct them in agriculture and the
ways of civilized life; and the pgents in
variably speak well of their readiness to
aya;l themselves of the facilities thus af
forded. Nowhere would there seem to
be greater need of missionary and educa
tional work, and Mr. Bond decided that
here was the best field of labor. His de
cision was approved, as were also the lo
cation selected and his plans for the erec
tion of an industrial boarding-school
building to accommodate from thirty to
fifty pupils. The site chosen was on the
Big IIorn River, on tho mail-stage route
from Caster Station on the Northern Pa.
c;fic Kaiboad. distant seven miles, to
Fort Custer thirty, and the Crow agency,
on the Custer battle-qround, forty, miles
distant.
The commissioner of Indian affairs also
approved the location, and promised a
contract tor Indian pupils. The govern
ment will pay $108 annually for each
Indian pupil taught and supported at the
school. The annual cost of maintaining
the school, with the full complement of
fifty pupils, will be from $3,000 to $10,
000, of which the government's payments
Avill constitute one-half.
The budding is substantial and com"
modious, made of hewn Cottonwood logs,
on a stone foundation, having eighty-six
feet frontage, with wings running seven
ty feet to the rear, forming three sides of
a hollow square. The sable roof gives
a second story for the dormitories, thus
saving present expense for schoolrooms,
which are placed in lower story.
At the time of the last report to the
association. April 80 of the present
year, the school was in operation with
eighteen pupils, with a prospect of hay
ing the full quota of fifty as soon as its
equipment is complete.
Mr. Bond reports the Crow children at
the school as docile, affectionate, intelli
gent, and happy under their new sur
roundings. They arc quick to learn, and
interested in their studies and in their
occupations. They are to be taught,
under the contract with the Indian Bu
rcau, the yarious industries which will
fit them for the duties of civilized life.
One of the three boys who had run away,
and who, as the ringleader, was refused
permission to return, offered to submit to
punisment if only allowed to come back
An interesting feature of the work at
this school is, that, of the sx teachers
and officers in charge, three are Indians
who have been students at Carlisle and
Hampton.
It is intended to add a kitchen, black
smith-shop, carpenter-shop, and slaugh
ter-house. The slaughter-house is a neces
sary adjunct of an Indian school, in order
that the Indian boys may be taught how
to kill animals for food mercifully, and
also how to cut them up scientScally in
stead of hewing and hacking them as
they now do.
The curriculum is not yet completely
systematized, but probably half the timo
will be given to industries, and half to
the schoolroom exercises. The industrial
training will include blacksmithing, car
pentry, farming, and butchering for the
boys, and house-work, sewing, and cook
ing for the girls. The outlook for -the
school seems excellent, and, if the hands
of the teachers are upheld by sufficient
fuods. aa excellent work will be accomp
lished. Science.

Tale of a Thoughtful Rat.
From the American Natural'st.
On a very warm day ia early summer I
happened to be standing near a chicken
coop in a back yard, when I noticed the
head oi a very gray and grizzled rat thrust
from a neighboring rat-hole, and conclud
ed to watch the movements of the veter
an. After a careful survey of the sur
roundings our old rodent seemed t be
satisfied that all was right, and made a
cautious exit from the home retreat. A
fresli pan of water had been recently plac
ed before the chicken-coop, and the wat
er looked a friendly invitation to the thirs
ty old rat, which immediately started to
ward it.
The rat had not reached the pan before
five half-grown young ones rushed ahead
and tried to be first at the water. The old
rat thereupon made a leap like a kangaroo
and was at the edge of the dish in advance
of the foremost of her litter. Then en
sued a most remarkable occurrence. The
mother ratiaised herself upen her haunch
es, and hit and scratched her offspring
so severely whenever they attempted to
reach the water that they all finally scud
ded away, evidently very much astonish
ed and f.ightened at the strange and un
accountable behavior of their mother.
When the little ones were at a safe dis
tance the reasons for her extraordinary
behavior began to be revealed at once in
the intelligent action of the old mother
rat.
She first wetted her whiskers in the wat
er, looked suspiciously about her, then
very cautiously and carefully took a dain
tv little sipp of the liquid. She tested
it as tentatively and critically as a pro
fessional tea-taster, and when she was
satisfied that it contained ne poisonous
or orther deleterious matter she gave
couple of squeaks which brought her
young and thirsty brood to her side, and
all fearlessly drank their fill. Now, this
old mother rat was experinced, had evi
dently learned her lesson in that school
thoroughly, and so she would not allow
her young and untaught litter to taste wat
er which might have contained rat-poison
or what not until she had satisfied her
self that the liquid was harmeless.
Renews Her Youth.
Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay
county, Iowa, tells the following remark
able story, the truth of which is vouched
for by residents of the town: "I am 73
years old, have been troubled with kid
ney complaint and lameness for many
years; could not dress myself without
help. Now I am free from all pain and
thanks to Electric Bitters for having re
newed my yputh and removed complete
ly all disease and pain." Try a bottle,
