A CHINOOK DANCE. — How th® Yakima Indiuns Propitiate the Diety. Weird Iccantatmns and Grotasqno Dances in Washington Territory. A recent issue of tho Yakima (Wash¬ ington Territory) Signal says: Yakima (W. T.) Signal .—The Indians are by nature superstitious, but the ag¬ gressions of civilization in this quarter have killed many of the old beliefs of the Yakima tribes in signs, “hoodoos,” and the efficacy of pum-pum and Turn uni urns lances, and the incantations of medicine men in driving away the evil spirit. There are some, however, who refuse to conform to the new customs and revel in uperstitions handed down by their un¬ tutored progenitors. This factiou held t.ieir annual Tutnanimus dance and feast on Monday last, on the reservation just >elow Union Gap. The Signal reporter was on hand with the expectation of capturing an interesting item, but the mummeries which were weird and fasci¬ nating were at the same time entirely un¬ intelligible. At the head of the Gap on a promontory a large white flag floated from a pole, and two miles further on blue, white and orange flags marked the long, low building or shack where the exercises were being conducted, The medicine house, for so it proved to be, was about seventy feet in length and completely covered with the matting. From the inside came the monotonous chant of many voices and the steady beat¬ ing of Indian drums, but although the Signal representative and a young lady who accompanied him walked completely around the structure they could find no entrance, and were debating a plan of action, when a fly of the matting sud¬ denly flew up immediately in front of them, and the hideous painted face of a fantastically clad siwash presented itself to view and nearly scared the young lady into convulsions. A friendly wave of the hand, however, disarmed fear and ushered the pilgrims before a scene of barbaric grotesqueness which would tax the pen of a Dumas to describe. On a platform covered with skins, at one end of the lodge, Indian children were crowded, and in front of the little ones was thc orchestra of six huge bucks with instruments which appeared to be made of sheepskin stretched over empty cheese boxes. Along the length of tho temple or lodge were ranged the bucks on one side and the klootchmen on the other. They were all clad in gorgeous costumes and the many-colored blankets and prints gave a rainbow appearance to the worshipers. Their faces were paint- ed with orange, blue, red and white paints, and when there was any consider¬ able space of solid color there would ap¬ pear fairly well executed figures of moons, stars, birds and beasts, in con- trasting tints. All had fans of feathers and many wore head-dresses of fine furs, feathers, and even the horns of animals. There are various pum-pum* during the year for divers objects, tho one just celebrated being Turn animus, or Chinook dance, held for the purpose of propitiating the Deity and bringing ou the warm winds from the Orient to carry off the snows. When the winters are usually hard the Indians do severe pen¬ ance, and three years ago, when the cat¬ tle and the Cayuses were dying by the hundreds, the Tumuuimus lusted for ten days, and the self-inflicted punish¬ ments were of a rigid nature, Sa-lu- skin, one of the head Indians, took a dull knife and hewed out great blocks of flesh Irom his arms, singing and dancing all of the time in religious frenzy, The next observance is the festival of the “reburial of the dead,” when the bones of Indians who have died or been killed will be exhumed, covered with new blankets and exposed to the view of rel¬ atives. Then comes the salmon dance, at which the Great Spirit is entreated to send a free run of that succulent fish which form so prominent a factor in tiie Indian food supply. The recent Tutnanimus was under the direction of Co-ti-ah-kin the head medi- cine man, who directed the observances by means of a bell. For hours and hours the Indians would dance and chant their songs, which are not devoid of harmony, until tired nature could bear no longer, and then they would fall on their knees and offer up their “amons’ to the exhortations of the medicine man. The singing and prayers were all in tiie nativo language, and even the lookers-on who were familiar with the jargon were unable to catch the drift of the importu- nir*e. The Brakcman’s Peril. The present method of coupling freight ears is primitive, costly and dangerous to life and limb, and for years the inventive ingenuity of the country has sought to produce a better way that would be ac¬ cepted by railroad managers. Over 4,000 patents for couplers have been taken out, and yet the “man killer” has not been displaced. Few people have the remot¬ est idea of the number of men who have been crippled or killed coupling cars. I venture to say that the casualties from this cause for the last ten years far exceed in number the killed and wounded of any battle of the late rebellion. A num- her of states have passed laws requiring all cars built or owned within their limits to be fitted witii couplers winch can be operated without going between the cars, but in none of ihem is any serious attempt made to enforce the law. Everv year the Master Car Builders’ Association and the convention of railway superintendents and the master machinists devote consid.rble time to testing automatic couplers, with but, little apparent progress, so far as fctheir adoption by the roads is concerned, w- Philadelphia Newt.

The locust is an excellent tree for farm plantiug, because it makes the most dura¬ ble posts. It grows quickly, and when cut sprouts from the root. It should be grown 8 feet apart, which gives 080 trees to the acre, and it is'not difficult to pro¬ duce trees to cut two or three posts each, aud thus make 1300 to 2000 posts per acre, wortli 25 cents each. The future fence will be post and wire, as it is the cheapest and most durable. Chestnut ia the next best tree, and inferior to lo- aust only in durability; but it grows more rapidly, and tills may perhaps equalise the two, as it is certain two crops of chestnut posts may be grown for ono of locust. This tree also sprouts freely from the root and makes a second growth more productive than the first. The seeds may be planted in the fall, and the ground should be plowed early in the fall and replowed before planting. It is a good plan to drop the nuts on the plowed ground four feet apart both ways, then cover them by the second plowing two inches deep, and then cut the first growth when large enough for stakes .—New York Time*, h’raii SitetlltiK. An exchange says that whether to seed to grass iu spring or autumn depends on circumstances. On some lands when the weatuer is favorable fall seeding will seem to do best. But often when the autumn months are dry the grass gets such a poor start that unless the winter is very favorable it makes but a poor showing the following spring. Crickets and grasshoppers often do much damage to fall seeded land. In dry weather the young grass starts slow, and makes but little growth, aud at such times these in¬ sects are usually very plenty, and on the borders of the new seeded land they often eat the tender grass as fast as it grows until it is entirely destroyed. By seed¬ ing in the spring w T e avoid these ei.uses of failure. By seeding in spring with graiu we save the ploughing and harrow¬ ing of the land for one crop, as two crops are sown together. When grass seed is 6own in spring with grain on good, well- prepared land it is almost sure to start and grow well till tho grain ripens and is harvested. If the grass fails it is usual- ly at this time. We have noticed that when the gran was cut gre n for fodder the grass did much better than when it was left to ripen. ]tii>e Experience. An old man who has tilled the soil for for , year8( and is out of debt, prosper- oug and happy> has given the world geTCn Taluable Maxims. They constitute a wry good creed . 1. One acre of land, well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which received only the same amount of labor used on the one. 2. One cow, one horse, mule, sheep or hog, well fed, is more profitable than two kept on the same amount necessary to keep one. 3. One acre of clover or grass is worth more than two of cotton where clover is raised. 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, as a rule, for ten years, can keep the Sheriff away from the door iu the end. 5. The farmer who never reads the pa- pers, sneers at book farming nnd im- provemants, always has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken down fences, aud com¬ plains of bad “seasons.” C. The farmer w’ho is above bis busi¬ ness, and intrusts it to another to man- ag e . soon has no business to attend to. 7. The farmer whose habitual beverage is cold water, is healther, wealthier and wiser than he who does not refuse strong drink. ; Purciiaftliig Farm Implements. If the farmer goes to the city to buy iris farm implements, lie finds them in such great variety that it is very difficult for him to determine which will prove ; best for his particular farm. When a farmer can do so, it is a safer way to get ; a chance to try a machine befor purchas- ing it. Even then he may make a mis- take, aud buy one that is liable to get out of order, or is so constructed that some parts of it will wear out in a short time. Fortunately for the farmers, tho ; manufacturers of agricultural implements are much more particular in construct- ing and finishing machines now than they were fifteen or twenty years ago, so that now there is r.ot the risk in purchas- 1 ing agricultural implements that there formerly was; but the improvement in the work on the machines lias kept the price up where it makes it very burden- I some for the small farmer to buy a com¬ plete set of improved farm implements; many farmers do not feel that they can afford’it, so they use their old ones; thus the large farmers have the advantage over the small farmers, unless several small farmers unite together and pur¬ chase a set of improved implements. This may be done to good advantage in good neighborhoods, but there is always dan¬ : ger of having some one of the number thus united who is so selfish that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to get alon P with him UIlles9 hc ls ^ iven h « own wa v ’ as to how an<1 when he - usc tho mnchlncs of J 0]nt ™'nersh.p.

This question cornea up every spring, and ia usually decided by the amount of cash or credit the farmer possesses, and not by the real saving which ho can make.— Ploughman. Protect the Well*. The idea that the water of our wells is the purest obtainable was long ago ex- ploded. Well water may be pure, but its degree of purity depends wholly upon its distance from all filth. It is now ad- in it ted that in many soils both air and water travel very freely under the sur¬ face. Some are so porous and deep that water will easily settle through them and the bulk of the filth be retained in the top loam; and in such cases it may be said that ordinary cultivation and the {^rowing vegetutiou will absorb the ob- jectionable element. Water in such lo- cations is regarded pure and safe. But wherc wells sre shallow and dug in clay- ey or impervious soil, having near to or at their bottom an impevious stratum, they are likely to be receptacles for filth contamination for many rods around. It docs Dot follow that because the contents of sink drains soak out of sight that the deadly element therein is gotten rid of; it too frequently finds its way to the water which the family are prone to ex¬ tol as the very perfection of purity. It is never safe to depend upon taste in this matter; if there is a source of contamina¬ tion near the well rid yourself of it with¬ out delay; at least do not rest content until you have had the water subjected to a thorough chemical analysis. Dr. Folsom who was so long connected with the Massachusetts Board of Health, Lun¬ acy and Charity said that “it is impossi¬ ble to say that a well is safe at any or¬ dinary distance from a source of constant pollution to the neighboring soil, like a privy, cesspool, barnyard, etc.” lie fur¬ ther remarks that “there is always a risk,’’and that “the ordinary privy should be abolished.” There is no doubt that many cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., have ofteii their parentage in the cesspool. Typhoid fever, which lias in so many cases beep traceable to polluted wells, was some years ago found to be most prevalent in the rural districts. To provide proper sanitary measures, will to be sure, take a little time; but it need involve very little expense. Where there is an abundant supply of running water near by, underground drains will satis¬ factorily dispose of animal filth from a sanitarian point of view; but on the farm it is desirable to use this for fertilizing purposes, and an abundant supply of peat or ashes daily thrown into the vault, sink-drain, barnyard, etc., will keep noxious odors from the air. If you seek a rule as to how near a well may safely be located to any filth collection, know that if you describe a circle about the well as a centre, with a radius three times its depth, and if there if no cause of pollu¬ tion within the circumference, the water is probably uncontaminated. — Cultivator. Household Hints. To cut warm bread or cake, have -your knife quite hot. Fried slices of apples are good for a spring breakfast dish. A stale loaf of bread, dipped quickly iuto cold water, then baked for half au hour, is better thau when fresh, Half a loaf is generally enough for a family of three. Bread and cake must be thoroughly cooled before being put into box or jar; if not, the steam will cause them to mold I quickly. Pieces of stale bread can be used for toast, griddlo cakes and pud¬ dings, and for dressing for poultry and other kinds of meat. Stale cake can b- made into puddings. Lime slaked with salt water and then properly thinned with skim milk, from which all the cream has been taken, makes a perma- „cnt whitewash for outdoor work, 9 nnd, it is said, renders the wood incom¬ bustible. It is an excellent wash for pre¬ serving wood and for all factory pur¬ poses. Recipes. Broiled Potatoes .—Cut whatever num- ber may be needed oi cold, boiled potatoes into slices lengthwise, about a quarter of an inch thick; dip each slice in flour nnd lay them between a folding broiler. Have the fire clear, and when both sides are nicely browned, lay the slices on a hot dish, put a piece of butter on each, and season with popper and salt. Stetccd Steak .—In a small saucepan place about Half a pound of thick and tender steak, with a little of the fat left on. Pour in a cupful of boiling water, shred a tiny onion very finely and season with pepper and salt to taste. Then put all over the top of the steak small pieces of celery heaped up. The saucepan should stand about two inches above the level of the fire, and by no means ought to be uncovered until the ste.ik is to be removed to the dish. Half an hour is sufficient time for it to be done to a turn. Mushrooms instead of, or even with, die celery are an improvement. A]flee with Rice .—Wash a pint of rice thoroughly, scald it with hot water, drain and cool; add to the rice a quart of rich milk, a quarter of a pound of sugar and a saltspoonful of salt; simmer gently an hour. When done, beat it with a wooden spoon. Wet an oval mold with water; press the rice in it and keep on ice until wanted. Peel, quarter and core five fine apples; put them in a stew pan with three half-pints of water, three cloves, two slices of lemon and half a pound of sugar (dissolve the sugar in the water first); simmer until the apples are tender but will not break when removed from the pan. When done strain care- fully and boil down the syrup until quite thick. Now turn out tho rice on a glass dish, add the apples as a border, aqd pour the syrup over all. !

There is a suuuy-haired little page in the House of Representatives who has be- come quite a pet among the members, says a Washington correspondent. He is a a little little tnt tot of ol a a itlloxv, follow- with witii a a hriizht might, open face, large blue eyes and sunny blende blonde hend hum of ol hair hair, die He wears wears little litue knee breeches and is as lively’ as a crick- et at all times. When the members want an errand (lone fast and well they always try to get this little fellow to do it. His very politeness and good manners have brought many little tramps to his feet, because the members all want him. But lie does not mind an extra run, and goes ss chirpy and happily on a new errand as possible. He never seems to grow weary, and always is polite. But this is not the worst part of his troubles. His very np- peorancc is pleasing, and every time any one secures him, they tap him on the head or run their hand over his hair. Now for three or four people to do this would not amount to much but to have 823 members and as many more strangers to rub his head only once a day, it is not only tiresome but is having a serious effect.
