If America can lay claim to any royalty it must go back to the original possessors and rulers of this country, and find in the descendants of the red man those who are entitled undisput-abito the distinction and honor. Two princesses of royal blood of the American brand are to be found in New England, and only two, and the fact that these two are not living in regal state or are not accorded any of the honors and distinction consonant with their high birth, brings them into notice especially so as at the present time these princesses have fallen upon evil days and are likely to lose the little land they now possess out of all the vast country to which their regal ancestor, the great Indian king, laid claim. With all the glory of the past only a disturbing memory and with poverty pressing them upon every side, Teweeleema and are living on the shores of Lake Assawampsett in Massachusetts where once their kingly forefathers ruled supreme. Witty only a few acres remaining of a heritage which in the time of the Pilgrim Fathers comprised whole states the aged are facing possible dispossession. They are subjected to numberless persecutions of a petty sort; but then they have grown used to that For as their mother once said during a recital of the wrongs of her race: There seems to be no law for the Indian. They have left us little, says Princess Teweeleema. They have made us fight steadily for w'hat we have kept, and now they want the little that we have. An effort is being made to secure for these last of the royal blood of the Wampanoags a material recognition of their rights and of the services which their ancestor, the mighty sachem, Massasolt, performed for the pioneers of New England. For without Massasoit's friendship and protection the struggling colonists would have been swept from the land. The royal Wampanoags lived continuously on the tract about Lake Assawampsett from the time Tuspaquin, the Clack Sachem, of set aside about 500 acres for his heirs, until 40 years ago, when Mrs. Zerviah Gould Mitchell, the mother of the princesses, moved to Abington that her children might be educated in the white mans way. As the place was left without a caretaker, it was gradually encroached upon; and the neighboring whites finally went so far as to sell portions of the tract. The eldest princess Is suffering from She is practically helpconsumption. less, and upon Princess falls the care of the household and of the Invalid. She bears it patiently, even uncomplainingly, with the fortitude that Is the legacy of her blood. She accepts the hardships that have followed their later life as a matter of course; she regards them as part of the blight that has pursued her race and has doomed it and fears them all as part of the great tragedy. Not so the elder sister. There is in her a flash of the old haughty spirit of her ancestors, some of the unconquerable pride of race which made Massasolt the autocrat of warring tribes and spurred King Philip to a hopeless struggle that swept the length and breadth of New England with death and flames.

The town of Warren, R. I., has done something toward the memory of the sisters ancestor, Massasoit. On October 10, 1007, a tablet was unveiled over the spring which has always been known by the name of the mighty Indian sachem. It bubbled near his forest home and the Massasoit Monument association walled it up and improved the surroundings that the spring might run for all time as a reminder of tho w'hite mans indebtedness. On a huge stone was placed the tablet and on the tablet is this inscription: This tablet placed beside the gushing water known for many generations as Massasoit's spring commemorates the great Indian sachem Massasoit, friend of the white man, ruler of this region when the Pilgrims of the Mayflower landed at Plymouth in the year of our Lord, 1620. When the Pilgrim Fathers landed In America Massasoits empire extended from Cape Cod to the Narragansett. Thirty villages owed him allegiance; 30,000 Indians obeyed his word. But a furious plague broke out and when the white men met with the sachem his people had been almost exterminated; whole tribes had been decimated. The early historians say that the savages "died in heaps, and only a remnant of about 300 warriors was left to the ruler in his lodges about Massasoit spring. It was on Thursday, March 22, 1621, only 101 days after the Pilgrims had landed on the new continent, that Massasoit met them formally for the first time. He had previously given an audience to two of their emissaries, one of whom was Edward Winslow, and had expressed friendliness for the white man. So to this meeting he came in all good faith, accompanied by his Quadequina, and 60 of his warriors, all armed with hows and arrows, their faces painted. Some had skins on them and some naked; all strong, tall men in appearance. The Indian chief appeared dramatically on what is now called Watsons hill, and lined up his men, making an imposing array. To them came Edward Winslow, carrying a pair of knives, a chain and a jewel for the chief sachem; also a pot of strong water, with some biscuit and butter for a treat. Winslow stayed with the Indians as a hostage and Massasoit, followed by 20 of his warriors, descended the hill toward the Pilgrims. Capt. Standish met him with a file of six musketeers and gave him a salute, afterward escorting the chief to a hastily erected building, furnished with a green rug and three or four cushions. Here a treaty was made and signed between Massasoit and the Pilgrims. Winslow offered himself as a hostage for the keeping of the agreement; Massasoit declined. A regulus as to honor himself, he scorned to accept a pledge. Honor was to him as the breath of life, and for 50 years he kept the treaty to the letter and the spirit; until his death, in fact. It was the Pilgrims themselves who violated it. The great Indians fidelity to this agreement made the American colony possible. So great was the fame of Massasoit's wisdom and goodness that it reached King James of England, and that monarch sent his red brother a silver pipe as a mark of esteem. This Massasoit carefully guarded, but when one of his warriors did a great deed of valor, the chief was so moved to admiration that he made him a present of this, his He was a philosopher, too, in his crude way. And of the bigness of his heart numberless acts testify. He favored a strange custom of his people, formed on the idea that happiness is only a matter of comparison. Acting upon this, he once, when making a journey with Winslow, sent messages into Plymouth to Inform the people that their leader was dead. When the chief and his friend entered the town, the general sorrow was changed to rejoicings. Why did you sent us word that Winslow was dead? asked one of the Pilgrims. To make you happier on my re turn, was the reply. Several times during his rule, Massasoit prevented raids by warlike tribes upon the almost helpless colonists. Foi years he held the Narragansetts in check. He died in 1661; and his death spelled disaster to the colonists. I possibly can coun- try large numbers of plums are lost by the fruit falling to the ground in the state. An examination of this fruit will show that it is Infested with white grubs, which eat Into the kernel and cause it to drop. The work Is very similar to the plum curcullo, which is such a serious pest in the eastern states. This hsect, however, is a native western form and finds Its way into our plum orchards from the patches of wild plums which grow along almost every creek. It Is a very difficult Insect to combat, because the work is done Inside the fruit, and poisons cannot be. applied for the larval forms of Ihe insect. The adult insect can sometimes be killed by spiajing the plum trees with arsenate of lead or other poisons of a similar nature in the same way that apple trees are sprayed. The adult beetles eat the young leaves oi cut off the stems of the young fruit, and poisons placed In these localities are likely to prove helpful remedies. The adult beetles may be caught by jarring the trees. The insect plajs possum when a limb is jarred and drops to the ginund If the ground is covered with sheets, the insects may be gathered in them and destroyed. This is best done early in the day and should be continued from the time tha plum trees are in blossom until the first of June. The insects are reddish brown snout beetles about a quarter of an inch in length. They are quite easily recognized, and if piesent, some will be found usually each morning. A few jarrings of the tree will indicate whether or not the insects are numerous and whether this remedy should be ' continued. Probably this remedy is the most useful one in the home orchard or garden. It is a good plan to permit chickens to run around about the trees, since they often pick up the weevils or the larvae that have come to the ground. During the summer all plums which fall from the trees and even those which show the marks while they are still on tho trees should be taken and destroyed. By deslrojing we mean burning or some other method which will make sure that the insect inside the plum is killed. S. Arthur Johnson, Associate Professor of Entomology, Colorado Agricultuial College.

How Montgolfier, a Frenchman, Led to Make It. Was The word balloon means a laiga Montgolfier of Annouay, France, the Invent lou of the balloon is credited. It is said that ho was led to turn his attention to balloon making from the following Incident: A French laumliess, wishing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed It on a baHket-worframe, over a stove. To prevent tho heat from escaping by the opening at ths top of the peltii oat she drew the belt strings clo-el- y together and tied them. Gradually tho garment dried, and became lighter, and as tho stove continued to give out heat and rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame, the petticoat began to move, and flnahy rose In the air. This so astonished the laundress that Flie ran to her neighbors ami asked them to come and witness tho btrange sight. Montgolfier was among those than came in. The petticoat suspended in midair suggested greater things to him. and he returned homo with something to think about. The first public ascent by the Montgolfier balloon was made June 5, 1783. It was a spherical bag, consisting of pieces of linen buttoned together, susThe fire pended from cross poles. was kindled under it, and the flames were fed with bundles of chopped straw. The loose bag filled out, assumed a graceful form, and in a short time was completely distended. At a given signal the stays were slipped and the balloon instantly ascended. Its velocity accelerated until it reached some height, then became uniform a 'id carried it to an elevation of more than a mile. For ten mlnules It remained suspended, then fell gently in a vineyard nearly two miles distant from the place of its ascension. The first adventurers to make an ascent in a balloon were M. Pilatre do Rozier and Marquis IVArlandes, In the basket of a balloon they, on November 21 1783, rose to a height of about 3,000 feet. To k Grape Arbor of Woven Wire.
