| An Indian War Threatened. Either the Indians of Montana, U. S., 'will starve to death or the United States Government will have another Ilodian war ‘on its hands. Congress in some instances ‘cut down the allowance to the tribes of Blackfeet, Asiniboias, Crows and Flatheads ‘in that territory, when they should have increased it owing to the disappearance of game. It is also stated that in the vicinity ‘of Fort Belknap, Montana, the crops have failed for the last three seasons. Deserib- ‘ing the state of things at one of the agen- cies, a heWspaper correspondent says :

Fort Peck has 5,675 Indians located at the agency. It is situated on the north i bank of the Missouri River,sbout sixty-nine

miles west of Fort Buford, Dakota. Mat- ters at this agency are even in & worse plight than they are at Blackfeet Agency. The Indians are distributed between the two sub-posts of Wolf Point and Poplar River and Mr. 8. E. Snider is the agent. At the end of February they consumed the last of 3,000 dogs for food, and had begun to draw on their povy herd fora like p»r- pose. The beginning of June saw them without a pony and the first of July found them without supplies of any kind on hand In March they started a stampede south to the Standing Rock Agency in Dakota, where their friends and relations were and where they heard plenty of rations could be obtained ; but the horde of well-fed, well- clad Indian police at the agency were soon on their heels and drove every single one of them back un the reservation, where they have been trying to starve to death peace- ably ever since. The Indians at Fort Peck are becoming rapidly reduced in numbers by both starvation and desertion.

In some instances the Indians preserve their lives by killing the ranchmen’s cattle, the usual ‘‘first cause of an Indian war.” A Fort Keogh (Montana) correspondent says that at the Blackfeet agency :—

“The first of July has passed, but for some reason or other the government failed to have supplies there on that day. This blunder at Washington will turn loose some 4,500 starving savages on the defenceless settlers in this country, and then look out for wars and rumors of war. A starving Indian is a fearful foe, and these poor, miserable creatures are actually in that frightful condition. A Catholic priest who made the trip a fortnight ago to that spot reports the facts in the case to be exactly as stated. ‘As high as foura day, he says, ‘are dying, the mortality being confined almost exclusively to the squaws and pappooses. The bucks stand by and look on the misery of their women and children in stoical silence, but they are evidently being worked up toa certain point when they will bear it no longer and the Govern- ment willl then have possibly another Indian waron its hands. The graveyard close to the agency buildings is growing at arapid rate. The number of scaffolds has increased fearfully of late and more are being added daily.”

With millions of acres of land to culti- vate, many will ask why the Indians should starve. The failure of crops may supply a partial explanation, but it is just possible that the Montana Indian has not been in- structed in farming as the Indians of the Canadian Northwest have been, The United States Government should not delay in providing food for their Indians, if they cannot find it for themselves. Re- cently United States journals have been at some pains to spread false reports of the condition of the Canadian Indians. It would be as well forthem to give the United States, rather than Canadian, Indian the benefit of any surplus sympathy they may have to expend in that direction.

ee The Armies of Europe. FIGURES SHOWING THE ENORMOUS MILITARY STRENGTH,

SOME

There was a probability of Europe being divided into two hostile camps, with Ger- many, Austria, and Italy on one side, and Rassia and France on the other, the com- batants were not numbered by thousands or hundreds of thousands, but by millions. Germany disposes of a moblised field army, including Landwehr, of 1,265,746 men, with 2.496 field and 1,352 sieve guns, bendes a Landsturm, nun.b ring 290,125 men, with 132 field guns. The Rus-ian is in round numbers, 875,000 men, with 2.214 guns; that of the reserve army,400,000 wen, with 768 guns; total, 1,275,000, wit) 2.982 guns. The second reserve of Russia is divided in- to two classes, the first class supplying nearly 2,000,000 men, whilst no estimate can as yet be formed of the second class. A want of human fighting maternal would consequently never hamper Russian opera- tions If we include the mobilised terri- torial troops which would reinforce the French field army, France would dispose of 1,038,000 combatants, with 3,758 guns. Austria has an army of 800,000 men, rein- forced by the Landwehr of Cisleithania (about 138,000), and of Hungary (about 205,000 men), a total strength of 1,143,000 men, with 1.623 guns. The Tyrol would, besides, supply a force of sharpshvoters of about 2),000 men. The Landstrum is organised only forthe Tyrol, Vornraberg Hungary, and in 1873 numbered 175,000 men. The Italian field army numbers 440,000 men, with 984 guns, reinforced by 200,000 militia, with 324 field guns, bring- |ing up the total strength of thejItalian field ‘army to 640,000, with 1,398 guns. No ac- count is taken in this calculation of about 50,000 Alpine troops, with GO mountain

guns, in which, however, are included 72!

Alpine companies of the territorial militia, The strength of the territurial militia is about 1.000,000; but of these only 3900,- 000 men are organized into regiments. —

A Veteran Journalist, WHO HAS RUN THE SAME NEWSPAPER FIFTY ONE YEARS.

FoR

Alexander Lawson, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, is probably the only man living of whom it can be said that he has edited and published the same newspaper fifty-one years without a break. He is stall well and active, and enjoys the salt breeze of the in- teresting town in which he has lived so long with the appreciation of a vigorous oid age. He is a Scotchman by birth, bat became a resident of Nova Scotia when a boy. His connection wiih newspaper work began in the office of the Obsercer, a journal published in Pictou, and then the only newspaper in the Province outside of Hali- fax. Five years later he removed to Yar- mouth and established the Herald. That was fifry-one years ago, and Mr, Lawson is still its editor and publisher. There are yet living twelve men in that little town- ship who subscribed for Mr. Lawson’s Herald at the time when he first published it, who have taken it ever since, and whose names are now on its list of subscribers, The Hera/d is the bert paying weekly news- papee in the Domiaton of Canada, and Mr. Lawson’s is a comfortable old age. Mr. Lawson was only nineteen years of age when he was induced to go to Yarmouth to take charge of a paper which T. C. Coffin (who had become possessed of the printing establishment of the defunct Yarmouth Telegraph), proposed to start. But Mr. Coffin was then on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to go on with tho enterprise, and the negotiations terminated. Lawson took passage in aschooner for Halifax. The vessel was detained by dense fog, and, meanwhile, a number of enterprising Yar- mouthians met and decided that the town must havea paper. The young typo re- mained, and within a fortnight, with the aid of a lad, Richard Huntington, who had never before seen a printing office, the first number of the Yarmouth Herald was issued, and it has appeared regularly ever since. At that tlme Lawson was probably the youngest editor and proprietor of a newspaper on the continent, as to-day he is undoubtedly the oldest.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

The venerable Prof. R. D. Mussey, of Cincinnati, the most scientific and cele- brated surgeon our country has ever pro- duced, gave the following instructions as to the proper way of caring for your eyes :—

Avoid all sudden change betwen light and darkness.

Never begin to read, write or sew for several minutes after coming from darkness to a bright light.

Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or on any cloudy day,

Never read or sew directly in front of the light, or window, or door

It is best to have the light fall from ahove obliquely, over the lft shoulder.

Never sleep so that, on first awakening, the eyes shall open on the light of a win- dow,

Do not use the eye-sight by light so scant that it requires an elfort to dis criminate.

The moment you are instinctively prompt- ed to rub the eyes, that moment cease using them.

If the eyelids are glued together on waking up, do not forcibly open them; but apply saliva with the finger—it is the speediest dilutant in the world, then wash your eyes and face in warm water. EE

About Wheat.

tt

‘‘Tall wheat items” are going the rounds of the press. The Pictou News says: ‘‘John Clark, West River, takes the cake for tail grain. He has sent us this week a stalk of wheat measuring 5ft. 9 in. and one of oats 5 ft. 64in. Mr. E. McMillan, of Whycoco- magh, ends us this week a stalk of wheat 4 ft. 101m. in length and writes that his whole field (. sowing of three bushels) is the same height all through—Mr. Peter McDonald, of Green Hill, brought us in yesterday a bunch of wheat stalks, eight in number ranging from 6 ft. 10 in, to 6 ft. 2 in. in height. picked on the farm of Mrs. Brownrigg, West River. The whole field was about equal to this sample. It is the tallest wheat we have yet heard of and of excellent quality. Come along Manitoba ! Unless heavy rains should set in, there will be a splendid grain crop in al] parts of the country. Not only is the straw long and strong but the grain itself is filling splen- didly, Except in some few localities the continuous heavy rains of July did very little harm.

Old man Pettigrew, of Austin, is very precise in his statements, and is also a strict constructionist. One morning 4 neighbor rushed in on Pettigrew, while the latter was eating his breakfast, and ex- claimed excitedly : ‘‘ Your house is burning up.” ‘Sir?’ “Your house is burning up.” ‘You are wrong, sir.” ‘‘Wrong ?” Yes, sir, this is not my house. I only rent it.”—Tezxas Siftings.

A Sreapy Comer.—‘‘Jane, I hear your bean is a little wild; not very steady, they say.”

“Oh yes, he is one of the most steady young men I ever saw.”

“Steady! Uh, no, he can’t be. I've heard he was anything else but steady.”

‘Well, he just is steady, He has always come to the honse every evening since we were first engaged, drunk or suber,”
