Wah Ko Na was the fleetest footed Indian in all Mendocino country. He had proved that in many foot races with the young braves of his tribe. But there came a time when Wah Ko Na has a race with an antagonist that no one had ever dreamed of before.and the result was nearly fatal to Wah Ko Na. One day the young Indian boy went, with his bow and arrows, into the woods to hunt. He shot a squirrel and two or three birds from the tree-tops, tree-tops, and was merry at his own skill. "Wait until the big brown bear crosses my path," he said, vainly, "then I will kill him and the tribe shall know me for a great bravev Be he ever so fierce, I will not run, although I might teach even a bear a lesson In getting over the ground." Of course this was very vain on the part of Wah Ko Na. No bear came to try his courage. The Indian boy was crossing a creek that ran down from mountain springs, when he saw some thing that stirred his blood. The sum mer sun had dried up the grass and it was dry as the pemmican that hung in his father's tepee. In the grass a smoke was rising in the distance. A soft wind was stirring the tops of the tall pine trees. Generally it would have sung to him. Now he uttered one word "Weena." Then he darted off toward the village of the Indians at Ills best speed. "Ho, ho!" laughed the squirrel, "the Indian boy runs perhaps he thinks the brown bear is coming and he is afraid." "Peep, peep." said the brown bird that covered egg3 under its soft feathers, feath-ers, ".'the boy is scarod. Would that he would not come back." For, you see, the animals and the birds had reason to fear the young hunter, who never tired, and whose aim was seldom false. Puff! The wind fanned the flame in the grass and it sped after the boy, spreading wider and wider as rings in the water spread when a stone is thrown into the pool. The boy ran like a deer, like a wild horse, but the flame3 went a little faster. Miles Wah Ko Na ran without breathing hard. He was in prime condition. con-dition. Never had he run so well, and he knew it. But his pride had now departed. de-parted. He was thinking only of Weena, Wee-na, his little brown sister, who might be abroad, at a distance from the tepee, te-pee, playing in the grass and hunting for childish treasures. He thought that he saw her once no, he was mistaken. mis-taken. But the thought had urged him to greater exertion. Not that he feared for himself. Was he not a young brave, and was he afraid to die? From the top of a hill he saw the tepees te-pees of his tribe below. How strange it seemed to him to see the men and women, lolling about the tepee doors, on the shady side of the tepees, for behind be-hind him the red fury of the flame was chasing with relentless speed and with ever-growing volume. He shouted and the braves and women looked up. Then they saw the smoke and they were out with brands, back-firing. So Wah Ko Na was between be-tween two huge rings of flame that were coming toward him In both directions, di-rections, from the front and back. He did not pause.- "Weena!" "Wah Ko Na, oh, good Wah Ko Na. help!" The boy saw Weena at last. He seized seiz-ed her in his arms and ran for their lives between the approaching lines of fire. The smoke was heavy; the-sparks stung. There was a narrow neck of grass not yet fired. Beyond this. were acres of barren soil, covered with rocks. If he could only reach this place. He was now tired, but stlli he ran desperately., Weena saw the peril. but never once sobbed brave little In dian maiden! Within one hundred yards of safety, and while triumph and glory were before Wah Ko Na, the lad stepped on a round stone and fell. He could not rise, for he had hurt himself badly. "Run. Weena. run," he commanded. The child obeyed: sped like the wind and was safe. Then she sobbed, for was not Wah Ko Na in danger? When the fire was over Wah Ko Na was taken up unconscious and badly burned. He lived, but he was always ashamed cf his adventure, for did he not partly fall? Keeping; Ktorw. ' The "store" is at one end of the long table near the bookcases and the Little Lady who keeps it is very busy. The Big Man is writing at the other end of the table, and he Is very busy. too. He doesn't even know that there is a store so close by until the Little Lady tells him about it. She tells him at first very low. so that he doesn't heart it Then she tells him a little louder, and he doesn't hear that either. Then she forgets that she isn't to talk if she stays In that room, and tells him two or three times more, quite loud. "Papa. I've got "a store! Did yon know I had a store, papa?" The Big Man says over In a whls- pery voice some of the words he is writing, and then writes on again, very fast "It's a nice store, papa a beautiful store! D'you want to see it?" "Uni yes no not now, dear. Don't bother pop now; he's so busy.". The Little Lady also whispers to herself while she fixes her store some more and piles up the round paste board money so's to have It handy. Then she looks at the Big Man. He is writing faster than ever, and she 6lghs very loud. Pretty soon he stops writing and looks into the fire. The Little Lady slips down the edge of the table softly and leans over the Big Man's knee. He doesn't seem to know it, so she leans over further and rocks his knee a little while she looks down on the floor. Then the Big Man finds out she is there. tieiio: ne says, "where d you come from?" The Little Lady looks up gayly. O, papa, I've got a store! Com an see my store, papa!" "A store! Where is it? I don't set any store!" The Little Lady dances up anc down. Here!" she says, pointing. "RigW here, on the end of the table. Sec it? See It, papa?" The Big Man looks, and thinks It must .be a bookstore from appear ances. The Little Lady says it is, anc that she is ready to sell the Big Mar some books. "O yes. Well, what books do you keep?" The Little Lady thinks a moment "Why," slie says, "you know I've got the 'Annie Orphan,' book an the Bear book and 'Sing Sing, What Shall I Sing?" The Big Man thinks some, too. "Which will be the best for me tc buy " he asks presently. "Well, you can buy the 'Annie Or phan' an the 'Sing, Sing,' if you want to." "How much are they?" "They are a about $60, an' I give money with them." vi la change, I suppose. Very well." The Little Lady quickly gathers un the books in one hand and some of her money in the other and starts toward the Big Man. "Don't you wrap up your books?" The storekeeper becomes very much excited, and bobs up and down again. She rushes back to the store, grabbing at a piece of paper on the way which the Big Man saves just in time. Then he says he guesses she needn't wrap tnem up today, as he isn't going far, So the Little Lady runs to him with the books and money, and the Big Man take3 her right up into his arms books, money and all and some of the money drops and rolls on the floor when he kisses her. The Little Lady laughs very loid and says. "It's nicer to play in here than anywhere, isn't it, papa?" And the Big Man sighs and says "Yes," and then he kisses her again and says he's paying her for the books and that she can keep the change. And pretty soon he says that if the Little Lady had all the books in the world to sell and he could pay her for them that way he would have the biggest library that ever was.

The Spartans are said, by La Guille-tiere, Guille-tiere, to have invented cipher writing, it having been their practice, when sending out an officer of rank, to provide pro-vide two wooden cylindrical staffs, exactly ex-actly alike, one of which the officer took with him. while the other they retained. When secret messages had to be sent, the home authorities wrapped a strip of parchment round their staff spirally, wrote their communication com-munication across the edges thus formed, unrolled the parchment and dispatched it.

Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam, is a curious labyrinth in which elephants are captured alive.

Tame elephants are employed to lure wid ones into the trap.

While themselves so high in the air as to be Invisible to human vision they are able to see any animals on which they prey, and can swoop straight down upon them with unerring accuracy. A kestrel can in this way see a mouse on the earth when it is itself at such a height in the air as to be invisible to the naked human eye. The eyes of these bird3 are supposed to have some kind of telescopic arrangement en abling them to adapt their vision equally well to either near or distant objects.

EooBw Cp-to-Dst Bints About Cultivation Cul-tivation of the Soil and Yields Thereof Horticulture. Viticulture and Floriculture. - Shall Indiana Farmers Continue to Grow Wheat T Throughout much of the state the wheat crop is a disastrous failure. Thousands of farmers are asking, "Is it worth while to attempt to grow wheat?" This depends on whether the cause or causes of the failure are beyond be-yond the farmers' control. While the seaspn had something to do with the poor wheat crop, the Hessian fly was largely responsible. The "fly" practically practi-cally destroyed many fields of wheat last fall, long before the beginning of winter. Many localities exempt- from the fly produced a fair crop. Intelligent, Intelli-gent, observing farmers quite generally general-ly agree that the "fly" is the chief cause of failure. Can the farmers control con-trol this pest or must they "give up beaten" by an insect smaller tuan a mosquito? Individual Effort Futile. While the individual ia.-mer may do something to hold the fly In check, his efforts alone are practically futile when the fly is very prevalent. In this latitude there are two broods, each year, of the Hessian Hes-sian fly, which propagates rapidly and migrates with ease in the direction of the prevailing winds. It follows, therefore, there-fore, that one farmer cannot, by good methods, barricade hi3 farm against both fall and spring attacks of these insectsrrtiTcll are produced in countless count-less numbers by his negligent neigh-oor neigh-oor to the windward. But can nothing ue done? Is there no hope. Yes, there is hope aye, victory! If the farmers will only unite, Unite, UNITE, to combat com-bat this pest of the wheat field. The Remedy. If the farmers will all employ the following measures they will outwit and largely destroy the fly, and barring a hard winter, secure a fair crop of wheat 1. Prepare the ground for wheat, early and thoroughly. 2. Promptly destroy all volunteer wheat in the plowed fields. 3. Sow decoy strips of wheat, about one rod wide, around each field designed de-signed for wheat 4. Carefully turn under these strips, using Jointer and roll to bury all the larvae and "flaxseed" of the fly, just Uefore sowing the main crop. 5. Begin seeding as soon as the fly has ceased to be active, and drill in with the wheat some good complete fertilizer, unless the land is already sufficiently fertile. These measures, if adopted by all wheat growers, would (1) destroy myriads my-riads of the fly; (2) avoid almost wholly the fall attack of the insect; (3) by greatly reducing the number of ihe pests, prevent a serious attack in spring. The times of sowing the border and the main crop would vary with the lat itude. They are approximately as fol lows: North third of the state, border, bor-der, Sept. 1, crop Sept. 20 to 30; central cen-tral third, border Sept. 10, crop Oct. 1 to 10; south third, border Sept. 20. crop Oct. 20 to 30. A Word to the Skeptical. If you have no faith in the above measures, Jon't sow any wheat sow rye instead. Then you will not hinder your neigh bor who is willing to "try the remedy." The writer desires to hear from wheat growers who will undertake to enlist their neighbors in a "combined attack" on the despised "foreigners," ihe Hessian fly. W. C. Latta, Agriculturist, Agricul-turist, Indiana Agricultural College, Lafayette, Indiana. Horticultural Observations. - It is hard work for the farmer to keep watch for all the Insects that prey upon his crops, yet this hard work must be undertaken if success Is to be his. A knowledge of entomology is very necessary in nearly every position in which the fruit grower is placed. Sometimes the insects that do the most damage are the small ones. Secretary Barnard of the Nebraska State Horticultural society says that the ground in both blackberry and raspberry i.tches should be stirred four or five inches deep onco a year by a one-horse stirring plow or some other oth-er Instrument that will thoroughly stir the ground, then the soil kept loose by frequent cultivation. Prune blackberry in winter or spring; take out all old wood, and cut back new wood to three or four feet Cut off all side shoots that hang over the row or they will make your horse afraid to walk close to the row when cultivating. Summer pruning or pinching of the blackberry can be avoided with good results, as the large leaves on top of the strong young shoots will partially shade the ripening berries, which is very beneficial. bene-ficial. There will be enough fruit buds below the four-foot mark to furnish all berries that the cane can ripen wltn-out wltn-out this pinching back. a The Vermont experiment station re ports that two Insects have been very destructive in Vermont this season. The first is the canker worm, some times known as the measuring worm. This is a small green or brownish worm or caterpillar about an inch long.. It feeds on the apple leav.es, and on other trees sometimes. It may bs found spinning down from the j?rn ashes. ..an a tine silky thread any tieae during the day. This insect is spialler and greener than" the forest fent caterpillar, and does not run In such large families. It does a good deal of damage in some cases, how ever. The other insect is the cigar-case cigar-case bearer, so called from the fact that the little case which it bears looks like a miniature cigar about half an inch long. These little cigars may be found sticking straight up from the twigs, leaves or fruit on which the caterpillars are resting. It is a peculiar pecu-liar little scoundrel, and ought to be suppressed. Both thesj insects can be killed readily by spraying with paris green in the usual manner. Roots as Food for Piss. All farm animals relish succulent foods, and different forms of vegetable roots have long been fed more or less to sheep and cattle as desirable additions addi-tions to dry winter rations. Pigs, however. In winter have usually had to be content with grain or mill feed and water, or, perhaps, skim milk. Succulent food has not been thought of for them, excepting in a few cases. Some experiments on the suitability of silage as pi feed have been conducted, but with most unsatisfactory returns. It was not found to be desirable pig food. Roots, however, offer a more appetizing substance for pigs, and here and there is found a farmer who has fed sugar beets or artichokes to swine with results that have called forth his approval. Mans wurzels furnish the farmer with a large amount 6t succulent winter food In the form oi tfcot Very great yields have bnen epcrted by various cultivators, wherein where-in it has been shown that the eost per ton for production is comparatively light In 1898, at this statisn, as high as 254 tons of mangels were produced per acre, at a cost of crnly 85 eents per ton harvested. C. S. Plumb, Indian Experiment Station. Tho Scurfy Scale. This "scurfy scale," or "Harris louse," Chionaspis furfurus, is much broader than the oyster-shell loirse. much paler, almost white is color, and much thinner In texture. The - cast larval skins are at the narrow end of the scale,, and in general the life history his-tory is like that of the oyster bark louse. The larvae also hatch during the early days of June, and are orange rather than yellow In color. The male scales are comparatively very small and almost snow white. The eggs are developed in September and are deep purplish brown, varying from twenty to eighty or more, but fewer In num ber than the oyster-shell louse. This scale prefers the pear among orchard trees, and the Kiefler Is its favorite variety. Of the shade trees poplars are most frequently infested, and of the small fruits currants are usual victims. Pear trees are sometimes so badly infested that their trunks scsm whitewashed, and in such cases seri ous injury or death results. There is only one brood of these scales, and the winter Is passed in the egg stage. As against the oyster-shell louse and the scurfy scale winter applications are unsatisfactory, because they do not kill the eggs. The scales may be corroded cor-roded and the eggs In large' part scat tered, but many of them will remain attached to the trunk and will hatch in due time, while if the scales are at all massed many will, if weakened, yet suffice to protect and hold togeth er the egg clusters. Insect eggs are extremely difficult to 1 ill, even with a substance so penetrating as kerosene; hence all applications to this end must be more or less ineffective. The weak point in the life history of these scales is In the unprotected larval stage, in which they succumb easily to even weak Insecticides.

Winter Wheat for Nebraska. Press Bulletin 15, Nebraska experiment experi-ment station, says: In the fall of 1896 thirty-seven varieties of winter wheat were sown on the station farm. Of these, all but three varieties killed out so badly that it was not considered consid-ered worth while to harvest them. The three varieties that lived through were Turkey Red, Big Frame and Cur-rell. Cur-rell. In the fall of 1898 there were sown more than a hundred varieties, and only five came through the winter in good condition. Those just mentioned men-tioned were three of the five. Last fall forty-two varieties wa-e sown, of which seven did not germinate and nineteen winterkilled. The s?me three varieties were among the best but the yields have not yet been ascertained. In order to test the relative merits of the seed thus selected and that of the same varieties from some other sections sec-tions of the country( seed of the Turkey Tur-key Red variety was brought from tho Ohio and Iowa experiment stations and of the Turkey from Kansas. The latter is very similar to the Turkey Red grown here. Seed of the Currell variety was also obtained from the Maryland experiment station. None of these did so well as the Nebraska-grown Nebraska-grown varieties, with the possible exception ex-ception of Kansas Turkey. Contrary to expectations, this wheat matured earlier than the Nebraska Turkey Red. It did not lodge and was not badly Infected In-fected with rust. In thesa respects it was as good as the Nebraska-grown wheat. Both the Ohio and Iowa Turkey Tur-key Red lodged and rusted badly and matured later than the Nebraska Turkey Tur-key Red. The Currell from Maryland made a ranker growth than the Nebraska Ne-braska Currell, but lodged and rusted badly. It is the aim of the experiment experi-ment station to extend the area of winter-wheat culture over as large a portion of the state as possible. To this end a very large number of varieties va-rieties of winter wheat have been tested test-ed by the station during a period of several years. Those strains of Turkey Tur-key Red and Big Frame varieties that have been grown on the station farm for several years have proven themselves them-selves very hardy. Seed wheat of either eith-er on, of these varieties will be sent out on application, free of cost except transportation charges, as long as the supply lasts, to parties living north of the Platte river and also to those west of the one hundredth meridian.
