The recording of the Indian lan
guages of this country by the experts
of the bureau of ethnology is proving
a fascinating task to those engaged
upon it, and has been productive of
most interesting results, says the
Washington Times. Some of these
aboriginal tongues have been found
to rival the ancient Greek in beauty of
expression. Grammars and diction
niries have been prepared of some of
the languages, a species of work in
volving great difficulty, as the Indian
words had, in every instance, to be re
corded phonetically in the letters of
the English alhpabet.
There are about 100 separate and dis
tinct linguistic branches known to
have existed in North America, and of
Ihese, the bureau of ethnology has se
cured records, more or less complete,
of about 7.">. Many of these languages,
records of which have thus been made,
are dead, so that the data concerning
them compiled by the. bureau are of
inestimable value.
The entire data already collated of
fer to the student of philology the
most perfect and satisfactory record
of the origin, growth, development
and relation of languages among prim
itive mankind that has ever yet been
obtained.
This unique linguistic material has
been collected not only for linguistic
purposes, but as a means for the in
terpretation of the primitive mind.
One of the curious results obtained
is the fact that certain words in Amer
ican languages are related in meaning
to words of similar sound in trans
oceanic tongues, just as the Indian ar
row is like that of the Orient and other
parts of the world, not only in general
form and function, but even in symbol
ic markings.
Certain hieroglyphics of the Occi
dent are similar to those of Egypt and
the east in form and significance; the
calendar of Mexico duplicates in essen
tial features the calendars of India
and Arabia; some of the social cus
toms of America resemble those of
Africa and Australia, and the beliefs
and ceremonials of the American
aborigines simulate and sometimes ex
actly repeat those of India, China anil
other countries.
These resemblances in the intel
lectual products of mankind have been
carefully considered and weighed in
an effort to trace general ethnic rela
tion, and the conclusion that has been
reached that, in the vast majority of
cases, they cannot be regarded as in
dicating connection among peoples,
and seem rather to indicate a law of
mental action—the law that different
minds of equal capacity act similarly
in like circumstances.
Hopes are entertained by the bureau
of the return of Col. Scott, from Cuba,
in which case a valuable addition to
the knowledge of the Indian sign lan
guage may confidently, it is said, be
looked for. Col. Scott is the greatest
living authority on the interesting

J Landlordism 1
in Ireland
I By JOHN DILLON, M. P. I
DUCED BY AN ALIEN GOVERNMENT, HAS BEEN THE
CURSE AND THE BLIGHT OK THE COUNTRY.
England has given to the Englishman one class of liberty and
to the Irishman another class. Ihe English rioter, committing his
depredations with but scant cause, is treated leniently by the English
courts. The Irish rioter, committing his depredations in a demand
for justice that is denied him by the government that wields its power
over him, is convicted and heavily punished for a less offense than
that committed by the Englishman, even though the two were upon
equal terms as to grievances.
BUT THE GREAT MAJORITY OF IRELAND'S WRONGS
COULD BE RIGHTED BY THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE
SYSTEM OF LANDLORDISM GIVEN US BY ENGLAND.
Ireland does not beseech this favor of England, IT DEMANDS IT
AS A RIGHT, and there will be no peace in Ireland until this de
mand is granted.
' matter of the sign language, which
lias been ascertained ti> be a veritable
art of expression, logically coordi
nate with lingual utterance, and per
haps of equal importance in the form
ative stage of language.
The signs were originally demon
strative or mimetic, though many of
these were developed into partially
denotive symbols.
n.v the use of these symbols the In
dians were able not only to exchange
intelligence at distances, but also tc
communicate with each other despite
differences in dialects; and, indeed,
since the signs were less completely
differentiated than the phonetic sym
bols, even when speakers belonged to
distinct stocks, and their spoken lan
guages were as different as English
and Arabic.
As the Indian spanned space by sig
nals, so also he sought to bridge time
by means of symbol* painted or
carved or embossed on the faces of the
cliffs or other suitable purposes; and
thus, long before the advent of white
men, the aborigines entered the stage
of graphic expression.
Some indications have been found
that photographic and decorative a*t
sprang from the same ill-defined stem,
but early became differentiated, and
many signs exist to show that while
originally demonstrative and mimetic
the rude symbols of pictography soon
began to acquire a denotive meaning,
anil some of them became almost arbi
trary. The researches in pictography
illustrate the mode of origin or
graphic art among all peoples, and the
laws and stages of development ex
emplified by both signals and picto
graphs are in harmony with those il
lustrated in the development of
speech.
The achievement, of the bureau of
ethnology in compiling this wonder
ful record of the modes of expression
of primitive man, embodying the hab
its of thought, feeling and aspiration,
may well be reckoned as a notable
triumph of American scientific attain
ment.

THE FARMER'S BARN.

The farmer's barn, or the farm fer
tilizer factory, as 1 call it, is some
thing that should demand more at
tention than is generally given it.
For years the colored water that ran
across the puLlic road into the Jun
iata river from my barnyard worried
me almost sick, anil it.was seven
years before I could fix it the way
1 wanted it.
1 realize that there is about SB3
Worth of fertility running away from
every farmer, every year, through
the open barnyard, and four years
ago J began getting lugs sawed into
boards, buying and laying away sec
ond hand window sash and glass, and
other things needful to turn my barn
into a fertilizer factory, and now I
think I have not one of the finest but
one of the most convenient, most
comfortable fur stock, and best barns
for protecting and saving the manure
in central Pennsylvania. The cattle in
the barnyard are as comfortable as
the horses in the horse stable. There
is running water in four different
apartments, horseyard, barnyard,
steer stable niul sheep stable.
One object in fixing my barn was
to take care of the animals, keep
them from getting thirsty and not

too hungry, and warmer than they
would be in corn stalk field on the
warm side of a barb wire fence. Un
der these conditions I think a man
ought to be able to raise a three
year-old steer in 24 months. Another
object was to get a straw shed and
get the barnyard covered and board
ed in and made warm. Another was
to save me from weather-boarding
awl roofing the silo and fretting my
silo where I could fill it off the hay
ladders from barn floor if I wished
to do so. And last but not least to
be in shape to take care of the
manure. My stables are puddled
with stiff clay and barnyard bottom
is made like the bottom of a kettle
and puddled with clay also, here the
cow and horse manures are mixed,
and I have had no trouble, nor do I
expect to have any, with manure fire
fanging as long as I can pet tlie
liquid with the solids into the barn
yard.
We will soon brinp 45 head of cat
tle into the barn and I do not expect
any of them standing around with
backs humped up should it be cold.
Of manure made and protected in
this barn, one load is worth two or
three loads often hauled out of the
open barnyard, and 1 ain sure that it
is not only the cattle that are
pleased with this barn, but the men
who have to work in it on cold days.

SOIL NEEDS FEEDING.

l>li»tl Willi 11 II in ■■ M or IIH Fertil
ity Will Cease.
Fertility depends upon a number of
conditions. Before the roots can
take the needed substances, there
must be sufficient moisture in the
soil. This moisture must circulate
to bring it in contact with the roots,
and the physical character of the
soil has much to do with this. It
must not be too open nor too com
pact. If too open water cannot rise;
if too compact, it evaporates too rap
idly from the surface. A soil that
settles down like brick dust after a
heavy rain cannot for several rea
sons produce well. Nature has a
remedy for these conditions, and to
succeed we must at least imitate her.
Nature, by the decomposition of or
ganic materials in the soil, produces
what is known as humus, which
tends to correct the above evils. It
makes the soil light and flatulent,
prevents packing from hard rains
and facilitates circulation of both
water and air in the soil as is best
suited to the needs of vegetation.
No soil can be highly fertile with
out humus. Barnyard manure owes
much of its value to the humus pro
duced by the rotting of organic mat
ter. Green manuring is a common
method of producing humus. The
farmer should at proper seasons turn
under all the vegetable material at
hand, provided it has no great mar
ket value. In this way lie returns
the contained nitrogen to the soil
which otherwise is lost, and enlivens
his soil by increasing the humus. Do
not, however, turn under valuable
crops. Sell tliem and plow under
something cheaper. When conditions
are favorable, the most profitable
method of utilizing such a crop is
by pasturing or feeding and return
big the excrements to the land. In
this way you pet the value of your
crop and yet return almcfct all the
plant food to the soil.—barnum'i

"I can testify from experience to
tlie efficiency of Peruna as one of the
very best medicines, and it gives me
pleasure to add my praise to that of
thousands who have used it. For years
I suffered with catarrh of the stomach,
all remedies proving valueless for re

hoping to be benefited by a change of
climate and while there a friend ad
vised me to try l'eruna. After using
two bottles I found myself very much
improved. The remains of my old dis
ease being now so slight, 1 consider
myself cured, yet for a while 1 intend
to continue the use of Peruna. 1 am
now treating another patient with
your medicine. She has been sick with
malaria and troubled with leucor

will be speedily effected."
