Their Careers as Described in the Records of Hampton Institute. From the New York Sun. With the new policy of excluding Indians from the United States army there is one less avenue of employment open to the In- dians troined in the Indian schools of the east. These schools have long contributed to the number of scouts and soldiers em- ployed in the far west, and a young Indian named Eaton, a graduate of Hampton In- stitute, was the scout who successfully led the pursuit of the last Apache renegades. liampton Institute keeps a continuous re} ord of the Indians who have lived at the school, and the story of the graduates is n the reports of the institute with a ingenuousness. Of 460 former p on, the record of 98 was set lent, of 219 good, of 91 fair, bad. returning home, teach issionaries or catechists, 8 various trades or professions, or pout ihe ag ies, leading the idle life of their people. Of Some the report is susy and useful,” now lanket In- S return to superstition and of those regarded das famous of their peo- P » record- ing delicate, and the ly believe that the dying earl, tamed Indians comme eastern schools 4 i r people. The y chool authorities insist at the agency Indians are subject to many di: and cite the report of a school te ainong the Sio} that their habit of ration day and sta 3 for t week is partly responsible for of ili health; that the bad sanitary condi- tions of cabin rather than wigwam life helps to account for many deaths, and that inherited disease, and the reckless use of tobacco from infancy are also causes of a high mortali is perhaps significant that a con: percentage of the Indians reported as ex cellent were included in those who died young. Many of the Indian students are reported as having lands, cattle and comfortable wooden hou: and some are married Christian fashion to former fellow students. Intemperance seems to be the besetting sin of the educated Indian, as of his savage gorging thers brother, and the institute reports speak of in ‘individual »s with entire frant The story of a promi Apache boy shows a curious strugele between school training and the savage instinct. His r erd was bad, and after several outbreaks and arrests he wrote cheerfully from prison to assure the managers of the institute that he would be out in three months, and that he was once more a good boy. An in- clesed photograph showed this wild animal with the same enjoying boyish face that had made him a favorite at the school. Not only does the educated red man oc- ionally revert to his former condition as “planket Indian,” but the institute re- rds other curious lapses into barbarism, with occasional recoverie: The report retes now and then that this or that for- mer student has taken @ wife Indian fash- ion, and sometimes the legal wife is de- serted for a woman bought for rs ponies. One highly eulogized hi girl of the Gros Ventres was reported two years ayo as having, some time after leay- ing the school, married a man who turned out a drunkard, cruel in his cups. The ex- cellent wife brought up her children to speak English and live after the manner ef the whites, but the report innocently adds: “In an effort to defend herself on one occasion she did it more effectually than she had intended, and has since (four years) been a widow.” ca a ei —s BLE ELECTRIC LIGHT. rs’ Glow From Storage Batteries.

It ts stated that after long use the sliver is just as valuable as when first placed in the battery. Several batteries of various powers were shown, each giving an excellent light for its size. We also ex- amined a very powerful arc light, equal, it is said, to candles, produced from two batteries, each ten inches long by eight inches wide and seven inches high. A good portable electric light can now be obtained from a primary battery at little or no cost of maintenance, 2 tlon of nitric and hydrochloric acid. restores th CONGRESSMEN IN TOWN. oe — Where Senators and Representatives May Be Found Here.

This victory “was the capture in 1745 of the almost im- pregnable fortress of Lonizburg, on Cape Breton Island. Thi was during the four years’ war between and France, and owing to the ngth of the Louisburg fortifications the place had be- come known as altar of America.

The ordinary domestic fowl affords the mcst pesitive evidence of the possession of a language that is understood. There aro many decidedly different calls, which if taken down in a phonograph and repeated in a hen house or yard would produce in- teresting results. I need but mention a few calls to illustrate the range of sounds in the domestic fowls. On a warm da when hens are released from their coop, when their minds are undisturbed and al! nature locks bright and inviting, they sin as they feed—a continuous repetition of kerr-kerr-kerr, with varlous modulations. ‘The rocster never utters it, nor the mother hen; it is the song of the happy-go-lucky of hen creation. : Now let a hawk app ne sky or any disturbing elemy ly diff : streteh- upw ard, and, with the coc cided note of warning in a high -r-r-r-r-e!
