One fain w ould wish th a t m ore young m en, In d ian s, too, had the taste , the in ­c linations, the courage, the g b i t , the am ­bition, the tenac ity to undertake the struggle of four years of hard , g rind ing toil, under such up lifting conditions th a t they m ight, by the tra in in g , the b e tte r ap ­p reciate life and its privileges, and do its sacred work.

B ut o ther du ties lie beyond, and we m ust be again on the wing.

The build ing is a beau tifu l one, well equipped for teach ing the elem ents of m anual crafts w ith some academ ic tra in ­ing. The w ork in the hands of b righ t, en thusiastic , w ell-tra ined m en, ca rpen ­ters, plum bers, and m ach in ists , was be­ing ably done.

The pupils, a le rt, in te rested , ac tive , show ed conclusively, th a t tra in in g of head, hand and h ea rt w ill b ring ou t the m an m ore qu ick ly than the old book tra in in g of a cen tu ry ago.

The Baroness de H irsch School for g irls was n ex t visited. This is unique in th a t it is both a hom e for w orking girls and a place of in d u stria l tra in in g in w hich dom estic science, sewing, d ress­m aking, and o ther a rts re la tin g to hom e­m aking are tau g h t.

A few hours in the N ew York T rade School w hich had a lready closed its ses­sions for the y ear (though the work of the classes for the y ear was s till on e x h ib itio n ) gave one m any h in ts as to the p rac tica l value of th is tra in ing . The stories told of the sacrifices and self-denial of m any of the young m en who join the n igh t c lass­es to get the tra in ing , show how eager the average young m an is to be tra ined and to stand well in his chosen line. M any of the studen ts go out from the school in to th e trades and occupations of the c ity to become in a few years the in te lligen t le ad ­ers of th e ir respective crafts .

The H ebrew Technical In s titu te was v isited and the work of d ep a rtm en t afte r d epartm en t stud ied . The various in ­structo rs were en th u sia stic and earnest, and pupils in te n t on very p rac tica l work.

The fea tu res of th is work th a t are unique are the blending of the work of the m anual tra in in g school courses w ith the trade school work in a th ree y ea rs ’ course. E very phase of the work was in tensely p rac tica l and in struc tive .

THE WISE FOX AND THEFOOLISH FOX.

The follow ing fable, w rites Mr. C harles E. Ja re d , of San Jose, C aliforn ia, is ac­credited by the M ohave Ind ians to one of th e ir m edicine m en. H orner K elton, a full-blood M ohave pupil a t th e F t. Mo­have Indian School, wrote it at Mr. J a re d ’s request for an Ind ian story , and th in k in g it m igh t be of in te re s t to the readers of the R e d m a n a n d H e l ,p e r he forw arded the story to us w hich reads th u s :

Once there was a very wise old fox w ho lived w ith his wife in the th ick woods. They were nearly ou t of food, so the old fox told his wife to get h im some d inner as he was going ou t to hunt.

The wife prepared a. very nice d inner. She cooked some corn and a ch icken—the last one she had. Then as soon as d inner was over, the old fox tro tted off in to the woods.

H e was happy, although there was no m ore food a t hom e, for he fe lt sure of g e tting som eth ing before long. H e w ent s tra ig h t to a patch of arrow -w eed where m any rabb its , snakes and deer lived.

On reach ing his hu n tin g ground, the old fox hid under a bush and w aited for som eth ing to appear. P re tty soon he saw some rab b its on the edge of the th ick brush . He w aited a long tim e for them to com e out. B ut instead of com ing out, th e y finally w ent fu rth e r in w here he could no t see them . The brush was so th ick th a t lie could not follow to see w here they went.

A ny o th e r fox w ould have given upget- ting these ra b b its ; b u t th is old fox was no t to be beaten so easily . H e knew one w ay th a t was sure to succeed w hen every ­th ing else failed .

He looked around u n til he found two stones. W ith these he s ta rted a fire by s tr ik in g them together. H e then se t the arrow -w eed on Are in ten places around the outside. Then he ran and jum ped over the fire, and clim bed over the bush until he was in the cen ter of the patch . He knew th a t all the an im als would stay there ju s t as though they were in a cage, for they w ere all afra id of fire.

W hen the fox got to th e cen te r of the patch , he stopped and sang th is song th ree tim es:

The e a r th will save th e fox.T he fire will cook his m eat;The e a r th will save th e fox.And lie’ll go happy home.

J u s t as the fox finished singing, the ea rth opened and he sank ou t of sight. All of the arrow -w eed th ic k e t burned up and in it were roasted a g rea t m any rab ­bits. snakes, and th ree deer.

As soon as the fire was out, the fox popped up ou t of the ground. He g a th ­ered up some of the rabb its and s ta rted hom e. He said to h im self:

“ I shall get m y wife to help me ca rry the rest hom e.”

On his way hom e he m et an o th er fox who was looking for som eth ing to e a t; and as they w ere very good friends he offered to d ivide the rabbits. But, on being told how they were cap tu red , the hungry fox s a id :

“ No, I w ill try to get some for m yself in the sam e w ay, if you w ill teach me the song.”

“ I shall be very glad to teach you ,” said the wise fox. So he sang the song over and over un til the o th e r fox had learned it. Then he tro tted off hom e w ith his rabbits.

The hungry fox also s ta rted off a t a brisk g a it eager to try th is new w ay of g e ttin g food.

He soon found a th ick patch of arrow - weed w here he knew m an y rabb its lived. H e m ade a fire ju s t as his friend , the wise fox, had done. Then he se t fire to the arrow -w eed in ten p laces around the ou ts.dc. n e then jum ped into the ceu te r of th e p a tch as qu ick ly as possible.

B u t w hen he looked around and saw the sm oke rising in a th ick cloud on all sides; and when he heard the crack lin g of the fire w hich sounded very m uch like the popping of guns, be becam e very m uch frigh tened . H e th o u g h t he would sing his song very qu ick ly and sink down in to the ground w here he could no t see the sm oke nor h ear the c ra ck lin g of the fire.

B ut, A las! H e could n o t th in k of the first word of his song. Then he tried to get o u t of his trap , b u t now there was a solid w all of high flam es all around him . H e k ep t ru nn ing around try in g to find a way of escape u n til a t la s t he dropped down choked w ith sm oke and overcom e w ith h ea t. So th is poor fox was burned w ith the o th e r an im als th a t w ere in the th ick e t. C h a s . E . J aked .

TOADS.

As several of the classes a re m ak in g a carefu l study of toads and frogs, ju s t now, there m ay be in fo rm ation in the fol­low ing from an exchange th a t w ill be a p ­p rec ia ted :

Toads, like frogs, lay th e ir eggs in th e w ater, but un like those of the frogs these eggs are laid in long strin g s or ropes w hich are nearly alw ays tangled and wound round the w ate r p lan ts or s tick s on the bo ttom of th e pond, on the edge of the shore.

W hen the eggs a re fresh ly la id and th e w ate r is clear, these egg-ropes look like glass tubes w ith a s tr in g of b lack beads inside.

T his tube is of je lly , like the frog egg- m asses.

A fter a ra in , the black m ud or sand on the bottom of the pond or stream rises up and stick s to the je lly rope and covers it over.

Tree toads and sa lam an d ers lay th e ir eggs in m asses or singly in the w ater, bu t no t in strings.

In w arm w eather, the toad-egg h a tch e s o u t in two or th ree days.

The eggs should no t be p laced in th e sun, b u t in a ja r of w ate r in a w arm place.

You can w atch them and see how quick ly the eggs change, un til th e lit t le “ pollyw ogs” and tadpoles h a tch ou t, and sw im aw ay like the young ones of th e frog.

They live on the tiny p lan ts th a t grow on the stones and m ud a t the bo ttom of the pond, and every week som e of these, w ith the m ud and lit tle stones, should be p laced at the bottom of a glass ja r or lit tle pool w here the lit tle eggs and ta d ­poles are to be w atched , and the ja r or tub m u st be filled w ith fresh w ater from the pond.

The toad tadpoles are b lacker than those of the frog.

As the tadpole grows larger, the ta il grows sh o rte r until a t la s t the legs of the toad appear, the head changes and so does the body; i t grows lig h te r in color and when its ta il is n ea rly gone, i t w ill craw l ou t on a stick or stone upon the land , and in a lit tle w hile a very sm all toad goes hopping off and begins to snap up flies, and the grubs th a t i t lives on k ill the green leaves of the p lan ts in our garden.

The toad is tru ly a friend of m an in the garden.

CURRENT COMMENT.

F rom an esteem ed source com es the den ia l of a yarn affecting an alleged g ra d ­uate of the In d ian School a t C arlisle . The n a rra tiv e for a wonder does not a s ­perse the c h a rac te r of its sub ject nor re­flect upon the governm ent in stitu tion w hich, under L ie u ten a n t Colonel R. H . P ra t t ’s w ise guidance for m ore th a n two decades, has been engaged in th e w ork of lead ing the Ind ian from barbarism in to the lig h t of civ ilization . In th is respect the sto ry th a t a son of S ittin g Bull, h a v ­ing won d istinc tion in scho larsh ip , the classics and a th le tic s a t C arlisle , is a t p resen t engaged in the useful occupation of b lack ing boots in th is city , differs from the general run of fables w hich are con­cocted by im ag ina tive persons who see in the red m an, especially one who has been given the to rch of know ledge, a p rom is­ing sub ject for th e ir n im ble w it. U sually the “ C arlisle g rad u a te ,” or educated I n ­d ian , is represen ted as a hopeless degen­era te , gone back to the b lackness of sav ­agery \vith b lood-th irsty in stinc ts sim ply sharpened by his co n tac t w ith c iv iliza­tion.

Persons inform ed on the m ethods m a in ­ta ined under the jud ic ious supervision of Colonel P ra tt w ill see th a t the la t te r ’s s ta te m en t th a t ea rn ing a liv ing a t b la ck ­ing boots is en tire ly respectab le , conform s to his w ell-know n view s in the d es irab ili­ty of in cu lca tin g sen tim en ts of honest in ­d u stry in th e savage b reast, w hich is the “ C arlisle id ea .” B u t th a t a son of S ittin g B ull, g rad u a te of C arlisle , is no t so em ­ployed in th is c ity m ay be fa irly assum ed from th e fac t th a t S ittin g B ull never had a son, nor w as th e re ever a s tu d en t a t C ar­lisle rep resen ting h im self as k in to the re ­doub tab le S ioux chief.

A FAMOUS INDIAN RUNNER.

Deerfoot.

By req u est we rep rin t the follow ing from C u rre n t L ite ra tu re .

As the trac k season is now on and our s tu d e n ts a re ta k in g tra in in g in runn ing it m ay be in te res tin g to them and to o thers to read of the g rea tes t In d ian ru n n er of th e n in e teen th cen tu ry , who su rp rised the w orld th irty -sev en years ago by his w onderful exh ib itions on th e race track . D eerfoot is dead and h is m em ory has recen tly been honored in a fitting w ay :

A few m onths ago the body of D eerfoot w as rem oved from the In d ian cem etery on th e C a tta rau g u s reserve, N ew York, and re in terred in the Red J a c k e t plot, F o re s t Law n C em etery ,B uffalo . The p lo t is ow ned by the Buffalo H isto rica l So­cie ty .

F ou r years ago th is rem arkab le a th le te d ied a t his hom e on the Seneca C a tta ra u ­gus reserve and was buried in an obscure lit t le Ind ian ground.

H is d ea th scarcely aw akened a tten tio n beyond a m ere m ention of the fact.

D eerfoot w as born near w here he w as firs t buried .

H is first appearance of note on a race trac k took place in a sm all town nam ed F redon ia, N . Y. I t is not fa r from the Ind ian reserve, w hich In d ian s frequent, especially during county fairs.

The fa ir of 185ft w as no tab le by reason of D eerfoot’s perform ance in w inning a purse of $50 by runn ing five m iles in tw en ­ty-five m inutes.

In the fa ll of the sam e y ear he ran a t Buffalo ag a in s t tw elve In d ian s and one w hite m an. w inning a ten-m ile race in fifty -e igh t m inutes.

T his record he subsequen tly low ered.H is one-hour perform ance rem ained

unbeaten for over a q u a rte r of a cen tu ry .H ere are the figures: E leven m iles, 56:

52; eleven Jand a half m iles, n iue ty -n ine yards, in 59:54; tw elve m iles in l:2:2h> seconds. In an hour he covered eleven m iles, 970 yards.

The record of D eerfoot’s la s t, to be b ea t­en in 1897, w hen F . PL Bacon ran eleven m iles, 1,248 yards in an hour.

D eerfoot, before going to E ng land in 1861, continued racing on various tracks ag a in s t m en and horses th ro u g h o u t the U nited S ta tes.

George M artin , an E nglish tra in e r, in ­duced D eerfoot to cross the ocean and defeat the flower of E n g la n d ’s profes­sionals.

Ja m es P u tney , the cham pion long-dis­tance ru n n er of a ll E ng land , failed to ac­cep t a challenge from Deerfoot for a ten- m ile cham pionsh ip race, so the race was aw arded to the In d ian w ith o u t contest.

The In d ian ran so w ell the b e tting f ra ­te rn ity was non-plussed.

H is fam e becam e so g rea t th a t in N o­vem ber he was specia lly inv ited to C am ­bridge U n iv ersity a t the com m and of the P rince of W ales.

The P rince en te rta in ed his guest royal-iy-3

A m ong o th e r tokens of friendsh ip the P rince gave the In d ian a w atch .

As soon as he did D eerfoot vo lunteered to run ag a in s t tim e. H e ran six m iles in th ir ty - th re e m inutes.

A sto ry w hich has been cu rren t for years re la tes how D eerfoot’s financial backers becam e uneasy ow ing to the I n ­d ia n ’s w onderfu l successes.

T hey con trived to influence the be t­tin g by ta k in g the fam ous runner into confidence and advised h im to le t his opponent w in.

T hey assured h im h is prestige would no t be ta rn ish ed .

“ B u t he ca n ’t bea t m e,” ind ignan tly replied D eerfoot.

“ W e know ,” h is friends assured him . “ B ut we w an t you to m ake believe. Give him the race. People w ill say D eerfoot has lo st one race and they w ill bet. W e w ill m ake m oney .”

D eerfoot sim ply shook his head in a gen tle w ay and assum ed the sto ica l si­lence pecu lia r to his race.

H e ran the race and won.

I t was his g re a te s t ach ievem ent. H e ran tw elve m iles in 1 :02:02>i,. T his ex ­tra o rd in a ry perform ar.ee took place a t London, E ng land . April 8, 1868.
