That tho red mati is passing
from the face of the world has
long li 'on a .notter of common re
mark. Tho truth of the saying
rU>vur received more stliking proof
than in the case of the Pawnees,
who tV(Te removed to Oklahoma
from Nebraska in 1*7(5, says the
Chicago Chronicle. At the time
of their removal from Nebraska
the tribe numbered 2,500 souls.
Today there are less than 500. The
Pawnees were given exceptionally
good allotments in Oklahoma. The
climate is practically the same as
•that of their former home, and, in
fact, everything has boon done by
the government to promote their
welfare'and happiness.
For some unaccountable reason
they have sickened and died, until
the day is not far distant when the
Pawnee tribe will lie extinct. The
mortality among them has been
growing steadily year by year.
In 1882, six years after their re
moval to Oklahoma, the tribe had
shrunk to !)20, and the census of
1900 showed but (500 living Paw
nees.
It. is a curious thing that the
children of these (Indians appear
most rugged, but after passing
their twentysfifty birthday a pe
culiar and unaccountable malady
attacks them, and they apparently
lose interest in life, and gradually
waste away, death overtaking them
their prime. Scientists and

Science is doing some wonderful
things these days, but it. is doubt
ful if it has done anything more
wonderful than making worn out
farms fertile by inoculating them
with the germs of fertility. We
vaccinate against diseases, so why
not vaccinate our farms against
the disease ot barrenness? The
idea is yory simple when once you
grasp it. The agricultural de
partment at Washington has dis
covered bow it may bo done. The
department cultivates the right
kind of germs, and then compres
ses them into cakes something like
yeast cakes. A small cake is ship
ped to the farmer, who throws it
into a barrel of water and let it
dissolve. Then he soaks his seed
grain in this water and plants.
The seed has taken up tho revived
germs, and the germs set to work
to enrich tho soil. And the best
part of this seeming fairy talc is
that it is true.—Commoner.
There is now a floating menag
erie voyaging from Melbourne
to Loudon. It contains some
thousands of Australian birds and
animals. A rare species of “wal
laby,” or dwarf kangaroo, is com
ing to the Hon. Walter Rothschild,
the most enthusiastic of amateur
animal collectors. A family of
emus is bound for the Zoological
Gardens, Leipsic. James Cooper,
the owner of the menagerie, makes
an annual excursion of this sort
from Australia to England, but
his present cargo is the biggest lie
has ever brought. It embraces
kangaroos, cnn;s, wallabies, black
swans, white cockatoos, all sorts
of parrots and pigeons, ducks,
finches, cassowaries, opossums
and magpies,—London Chronicle.

Her father had read her the par

weeping came from her room. Her
mother went as consoler.
“Why are you crying, my dear?”
“About the goats! Oh, I’m so
afraid I’m a goat!”
“Why, no, dearie, you " are a
sweet little lamb, and if you should
die tonight you would go straight
to heaven.” With this and like
assurances she was finally pacified.
The next night the same per
formance was repeated, and again
her mother inquired the reason.
“It's the goats; I’m ’fruid about
the goats!”
“Didn’t 1 tell you, dearj that
you were a little lamb?”
