THE INDEX Supplement.

The Blanket Business.The demand tor Navajo blankets has

become bo enormous that the actualoutput of thono much prized articlesof aboriginal manufacture does notbegin to supply the market, says thePnilailelphiu Post. Accordingly theyare being turned out in Germany inijiimenau quantities, and are importedthence io this country, being for vardedin solid cariond lots to California, whichis tho chief center of the trade.

Genuine Navajo blankets, made fromwool grown by lodiaus of ttiat tribew.iveu io their own primitive designs,wiich are singularly like b une of thettucieut Kgyptiau patterns used in textilefabrica wuveu in the days of the earliestl'haraobs and dyeU with colors obtairedfrom various earths, and other sources

'are comparatively rare. Wheu anaoiteur in such matters exhibits uspecimen, proud of its possession, thechancos re that it is only no imitation.

Navajo ulauUeta in Urge qualitiesare manufactured in Jersey Oily, audman) of them are very pretty andBatisfactory, so long as you dou't knowthe difference. The Indians themselvesnatuially, have a large source of revenueand, not being able to obtain euffleientsupplies of wixil from dealers thousandsof pounds of the ordinary knitting woolthat goes under the name of "Germantown Thanks to these helps,the Niivajo blanket ia becoming a veryfamiliar and even very comen in com-

mercial article.

STATISTICS ON THE SITUATIONl?rotn a publication issued some time ao in the interest of

FnVtt juan county, the following facts and figures have mainlyIvetn compiled:

Ceñíais of all kind are grown here, wheat yielding lo to 40binhels per acre; oats, 30 to go bushels; barley 30 to 60 bushels;ryi, 15 to 30 bushels; corn 25 to 60 bushels. A ready sale isfound at good prices. Current prices for 190J are as follows:Wheat, per cwt., $1.60; oats, $2.00; corn, $1.65,

Vegetables of every variety flourish, f rom the hardiest Varietiessuch as Irish potatoes, turnips, and beets, to the more tendermelons, tomatoes, egg-plant- etc.

But the greatest opportunity of the agriculturist undoubted-ly lies in the growing of allalfa hay.

Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa), is a perennial speciesof clover of most tenacious character, capable of withstandingdrought and cold, by reason of the deep penetrations of its roots,and making so rapid a growth under irrigation that three cut-tings a year are usually made, averaging four to six tons of hayto the acre. Thousands of beef cattle and mutton sheep arefattened on it yearly, besides the dairy and wcrk stock of thefarmers who use it almost entirely without additional grain.Ti total yield is so large that sales of 500 to 1,500 tons to a singlebuyer are not uncommon, and the demand is growing so rapidlyas to encourage the planting of a much larger acreage. Theaverage price this winter has been about $5 per ton.

Poultry-raisin- g and dairying giye satisfactory returns tomany farmers. The demand is always active for poultry, eggs,butter, and clieese; eggs bring 20 to 30 cents per dozen; chickens$4 to $6 per dozen; butter, from 25 to 30 cents per pound; andcheese, 18 to 20 cents per pound.

The canaigre, or sour-doc- k (Rumex hymenosepalus), grow-ing in profusion on our table-land- s in a wild state, has beendiscovered to contain rare properties as a tanning agent, and isattracting the attention of tanners the world over as a substitutefor the failing supply of oak bark. Inquiries háve been receivedfrom the linglish aud Austrian markets as to the price and supplj ,

and no doubt the cultivation of the plant will be extensively en-gaged in.

The bee culture has passed the experimental stage. Severalapiaries of 100 hives and upward are a good source of income,and every houseyard has a few colonies for home use. Theorchards, alfalfa fields. and especially the cleome, or wild bee-wee-

furnish inexhaustible pasture lor the bees. Honey sells at t2jcents per pound in the comb, and 10 cents extracted, a, id in re-

cent years the colonies averaged from 40 to 60 pounds each.There are about one million five hundred thousand acres of pas-

ture lauds in San Juan county .exclusive of the Navajo reservation.This is free range, and is occupied by stock-grower- s, who grazetheir cattle and sheep on the Government lands and fatten theirbeef cattle and mutton sheep on the vast alfalfa farms of theneighboring valleys. Hence they are moved in the winter andspring to the markets of the mining towns of Colorado to thenorth and Albuquerque and Gallup to the south.

The raising of a good class of draft and road horses has alsoproven a profitable occupation.

The deposits of coal extend from Durango, Colorado, in asouthwesterly direction to the San Juan river and to the Bernalillocounty line, in a strip about fifteen miles wide, showing especiallyput.--. 1 vy-- . rf tV I.i.l'lntu rivrjY?? ,?J .V Fruit land district.

Much of this coal has been tested s ccessfully for Cookingpurposes, and being easy ot access and approach can be mined atminimum cost. The coal runs in veins from six to twenty feet.

Lime is found in large quantities throughout the country.Especially fine deposits are located near Fruitland aud are workedex'eusively for home use.

A good red and white sandstone for building purposes isfou, I in the La Plata valley in unlimited quantities. Tile-cla- y isevery vhere, and fire-cla- y beds have been discovered, but are notyetwe-ke- d.

Fivl abounds in the cedar and pinion of the ridges betweenthe rivers, while coal is had at the mines (now worked only forlocal purposes) for $1 to $1.50 per ton.

It waa not until the begttinluir of the I9t.li,eeutury that Sir Humphrey Uary huirán theHrnt serious and contlnloua study of

In Its relation to irtinltum. In one of hislectnrea delivered before the Royal Institute(lioudon) he says that Agrtntilture must lookto the Matiirnl sciences, chemUtry Npecinlly,fot the explanntiona of Its problems, and theImprovement of Hs practice; that no one canteasou upon agriculture, nor adVaiico a stepla it without reccnrlnp to this science.

At the time these statements seemed veryradical, for then , doubtless more than at thepresent day, thera were so many who arrnidthat practice and sxperienco were the solequalitlcationa essential to enrcess, and

all attempts to Improve BKrienlturo bytbe application of natural laws and chemicalmethods.

To no una else Is agrlculcure mora indebtedthan to Justua Von lilebiit, a noted Oermanchemist, who in the desiro to advance agri-culture, left the pallo of pure soieuce andbegan the practice of agricultura in conjunc-tion with laboratory experiments In agri-cultural chemlutry; thns furnixhins objectIcsüons to tbe of economic advantagesto be obtained by the application of chemicalprinciples.

The success of his labors resulted in ot.ib--! lulling unrloultiiral chemistry as a distinct

of these are agriculturalists. It hasbeen truthfully said that he was the "LuxAgrorum t'ultorum".

Let us see what ara tha relations of chamiat-r- y

to agriculture that cauxod Sir H. Davy,Just UK) years ago, to auy that a kuowledgeof it was bo esaeutial to the advancement offarming; and caused this new science to growso rapidly in popularity and importance.!

t hum is try is a study of the elements(lmple.it forma of matter) there are probablyseventy-fiv- e or eighty of these, but the agricultural chemist Is not particularly concernedwith more than about fourteen or fifteen ; thisbeing the number of which planta and animáis are composed. Plants get thesa elementsof food from the air and soil, and animals Inturn get them from plants, In the decomposition and decay of plants and animals they return to tho air and the soil, front whence theplants obtained them ; thus they are continually making a oycle in nature.

Uuforuuately, tuwever, plants and animalsin returning diese elemeuts to the soil do notdistribute them as they found them, but manyof thi'm are found collected in beds and dBonita, as In seen In t hlreolio""hat, petasnand nitrate deposits found in different jjarisof the world. The ChemmU must dcterinUwin t elements are deficient, or soon to becomeso, in order that the farmer may supply themfrom these natural deposits.

Carbon, hydrogen aud oxygen the threeelements which largely predominate in theplants and animals, are obtained by plantfrom carbonic acid and water, which are de-

composed in their leave by san light andclorophyl (leaf green) partially reunited doubt-less by the same agency to form the sugar,starch aud wood fiber of the planti The airla thu source of tho carbonta acid, aud whileit coutalus only three or four parts in lu,UUU,

experiments show this to bo more than sufficient, aud analyat-- made recently of jara ofair sealed centuries ago, prove that thu carbon-i-

acid in tbe air is not decreasing. It occursiu the air as a gas, henue does not readilycollect In deposita like some of the otherplant food elementa, but it is diffused throughout the atmosphere) which render It equallyavailable to plants In any soil;

The hydrogen aud oxygen, being obtainedfrom water, are only dettoieat Id t ofdraught, and the only remedy the chemist canoffer la the use of soils, fertilizers i and plantsbeat suited to resist it,

Tbe other elements concerned In the growthof planta are nitrogen, phoaforus potausium,calcium, "odium, sulfur, filloon, entortan,iron, magnesium, aluminum, and a few otherfound in trace in certain kinds of plant .

All of these, except the first four, are found iusufficient abandance iu most soils to la formany year to come,

Air and decomposing organic matter ia thesource of nitrogen, since, as the Chouiiat baaproven, only liguminous plant can take nitro-gen from tha air, plant other than these willnot floriah on toils free from, or deficient in.organic matter, unless nitrogen in soms formbe added to them. Bo great is the demand fornitrogen in tki class of soils, that the' nitratedeposits In (.'hill prodaced 1,N,0I tons ofChili salt peter in luuü, This was used almoentirely as a fertilizer, the United Stales aloneusing tf,0UU,uuu worth , besides large amountsfrom other sources, such as barn-yar- d manureslaughter house roluoe, elu.

The soil is the source of the phoSporut andpotassium, but ao many soils ant found de-

Wilt Not I mare Cubans.A Cuban who applied for insurance

from a local company the other dayalmost wept when told by the examin-ing physician that he could not insurehim, but that he should call again inabout two years. The agents had as-

sured the Cuban that he would be afirst-cla- ss risk. In despair he went toNew York and confided his woes to anold friend, who Is the head of thefirm for which lie Is the Philadelphiarepresentative. The friend said: "Slneethe Spanish war, when so many youngmen from Cuba and Porto Rica havecorns here to engage in trade, I haveseen scores of cases like yours. Youare killing yourself by insisting on liv-ing In Philadelphia as you did In Ha-vana. Persons who come to the UnitedStates to live, no matter from whatpart of the world, must make certainconcessions to climate. You drink asmuch black coffee and smoke as manycigarettes here as you did at home.Very well, it will kill you if you keepIt up. Your insurance man probablythought you were consumptive. Stopliving like a Cuban in Philadelphia;eat, drink and smoke as men there do,and I will guarantee you an Insurancepolicy In less than two years." Phila-delphia Times.

On theday after the battle, Ju-n- 19, 1815, thecorporal's daughter and other daugh-ters of the regiment sallied out fromBrussels to seek the living among thedead.

She discovered that hestill lived and with the aid of twowomen carried him to a neighboringhouse. Overcome by the excitementof the day, she, while still on the bat-

This question, when it was put tome the other day, appeared to havean easy answer: "It is borrowed fromthe navy. The ensign or pennant athalf-ma- st is a recognized sign ofmourning."

"Yes; but was it at first a ship'ssignal of distress, as some. say evensome of the good dictionaries?"

I have heard that in the seventeenthcentury it was so employed by theSpaniards; nut, at any rate, towardthe end of the eighteenth century thesignal of distress recognized byFrench and English sailors was a dif-

ferent affair, as the following storyshows:

WHY INDIANS PAINT.

Writer Telle of the Significance of TheirFacial Adornment.

People in general have been content

to look upon the Indian's adornment

of his head with eagle feathers and

his face with paint as marks of per-

sonal decoration inspired by vanity

and a savage taste, different only in

degree from what is sometimes wit-

nessed among highly civilized people,says a writer in the Washington Times.But the fact Is that, in preference to

the latter custom, for instance, every

paint mark on an Indian's face has asort of heraldic meaning, Implying notonly t!.e honors won by the brave laperson, but representing also theclaims of his family and race to dis-

tinction. In other words, what Is shownamong more cultured communities by

mon humanity which no generous off-

icer could disregard the Hussar atonco closes. Fortunately, however,her crew are at quarters when the Sy-

bille, hauling down the English flagat the peak and hoisting the Frenchabove, endeavors to run her on board.The extreme rolling natural to a shipnot steadied by sufficient sail exposesthe Sybllle's bottom, and several shotsfrom the Hussar go through her very

So much for the signal of distresstheory.

We know that flags were commonlyused at funerals In England, especiallybefore, the middle of Ihfcj toyenteeathcentury, not reversed or tied in aweft, but floating In their normal posi-

tion. This practice was discontinuedlittle by little, though no doubt sometrace of its influence Is still seen Inthe universal display of military flagson occasions of national bereavement.

New Bnth-Cha- lr Ilansnm CabA new species of recreation has Just

made Us appearance in Oxford, Eng-

land. It takes the form of a kind ofbath-cha- ir hansom cab, being, indeed,nothing more than a very comfortablebasket chair mounted upon two wheels,with ball bearings and rubber tires.This chair is fastened to the saddlepillar of a bicycle by means of a rigidshaft with a ball socket at the head, sothat neither the steerliJ of the cyclenor the leaning over of the machine aait turns a curve Is affecied. No doubtthe new conveyance will prove an ex-

cellent form of entertainment withwhich the undergraduate may providehis sisters or aunts when they visit Ox-

ford. The cars are not inappropriatelycalled "rickshas," and the labor ismuch lighter than might bo expectedfor the coolie. Rather more hills thanusual have to be walkel, but the Ideahas such vast possibilities for the pur-pose, say, of paying a round of after-noon calls, or conveying fair burdensto outlying districts of beauty andamusement thct "rickshas" are de-

serving of adojrtion In the country gen-erally, where, Indeed, they are begin-ning to be used, and in the Londonsuburbs where traffic is not too heavy.They cannot possibly upset; theytravel more smoothly and faster thana carriage, and are not in the least liable to run away.

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.An American art student, confined to

the care of a friend t" Paris, arrivedAt his destination lir1 Wvcnlng, tnd,meeting some difficulty In finding theaddress, was late in reaching the lat-ter- 's

apartments. After a long Journey,being hungry as well as tired, he askedto be directed to the nearest restaurant,preferably to one of the many Duvalestablishments of which he had sooften beard. Hl3 friend accompaniedhim to the Duval place of the neighbor-hood, reaching the door Just as it wasabout to be closed. At that hour ofthe night there were no substantialviands to be had, except a certainragout uu quelquechose, which theyoung student accepted as Hobson'schoice. To his satisfaction, he foundhis supper very appetizing, and, with aglass of good red wine, he enjoyed themeal heartily; the more as the charge,all told, was less than two francs. Wellpleased with hia first prandial experi-ence in Paris, he expressed his gratifi-cation to his friend on the road home,asking incidentally: "By tho way, whatwas that ragout beef, or mutton, orwhat?" His feelings underwent a sud-den revulsion as his friend replied:"Probably horse." Chicago Journal.

Andrew Carnegie's New Offloe.Andrew Carnegie's new office of lord

rector of St. Andrew's university car-

ries with it no emoluments and doesnot involve any renunciation of thatAmerican citizenship which he first ac-

quired through his father's naturaliza-tion, and subsequently confirmedthrough his own acquisition of the nec-essary papers on attaining his major-ity. A3 lord rector ho presides overthe senate and governing body of theuniversity and is essentially the repre-sentative of the students, since theyalone elect him trlenniully, and profes-sors and other eiubyi3 of the facultyhaving no voice whatsoever In the vot-ing.

Aa a rule the election is carried outon political party lines and bitterlycontested. But la this instance theelection was unanimous the entirebody of students unl!hi; to pay tributeto the munificence of the author of"Triumphant Democracy" toward theScotch seats of learning.
