'Children of all ages thoroughly enjoy the manufacture of mud -pies e• t4Qd other pastry, and the construe tion of forts, castles,moats, trenches, etc. A corner of the play room is turned, for the nonce, into a minia- ture seashore ; a largo sonar's of bed•tieking or table oil -cloth is tacked to the fluor, and a roomy old chest half full of Bind is brought foward and unlocked. Within its embrace lie shovels natty -Haus, and pails ; these are now distributed and the children permitted to dig and delve at will. Exile ('lou this pleasure -ground, if made the pinwlty for rough ill natured or selfish con duct, will effectually restrain both waywardness and perversity. The sand may he slightly moistened to allow easier moulding into shape, or garden soil, carefully sifted, to free it from wellies and gravel, may be substituted iu its place. Some worn-out millinery will supply the flower garden, and bits of evergroeu answer for trees and the box of military toys, oven when greatly the worse fur countless engagements, will serve to man and fortify the battlements of the forte. In this way, while the younger ones con• tent themselves with shovels, the older ones are taught to bring their power's of imagination and inven- tion into play—a great advantage in itself. But from the outset, they inust be kept strictly within the limit of the floor protector ; for while one is willing to allow the Children certain Liberties, these must not be abused to such an ex- tent that their elders are thereby caused to suffer annoyance or in- convenience. Obedience to this can be made a part of their play ; for example the oilcloth is made to represent an island surrounded by . so treacherous an ocean that who ever casts sand into its depths id utterly lost; or it becomes a magical spot in the midst of cgre-land, where a great hissing dragon is waiting to pounce upon the first transgressor who is bold enough to intrude upon his domain. But even , the pleasures of the „leand-cheat pall after a while and it becomes necessary to introduce a different pastime. While the older children are busy removing all traces _ of the disorder caused by the build - int and aorking ?�T- ;,;def? --a thing, by t1"6" way, which should always be insisted upon—the younger ones can begin to rub the interior of tin basins with some castile soap which has been slightly moistened. Castile soap is chosen because more free from impurities than other grades of soap, and when rubbed well over the surface of the basin it will produce suds sufficient- ly strong. Pipes are then distribut- ed and as a tribute to cleanliness each one is marked with the initial of its owner. A small amount of water is then stirred into each basin and the children are free to indulge in the old fashioned, but always delightful occupation, of blowing soap -hobbles. Unless the smaller children are provided with aprons, high -necked and long-sleeved, made of rubber cloth, this pastime must be limited to summer days only. In winter the wetting of the cloth- ing is likely to endanger the health of the little ones—Babyhood COMPETITION.

THE FI 4ST LESSON AN ARTIST WHO PAINTS IN OILS HAS TO LEARN. About Tints, Hues and Shades -lied, Blue and Yellow in Their Combination* Will Form Every t lulor, Including Black --First Prluclp les in Light. I preppie to submit a very simple method by which any person may obtain a practical knowledge of the principles which govern the art of mixing colors. It is not my inten- tfoe to treat of the philosophy of color -that is to say, why red is red, blue is blue and yellow is yellow -but to illustrate in the plainest manner what results may be ob- tained from these colors by observing certaiu rules. The modes of painting most popular are tempers and oil painting. Tempera, whoa° origin, perhaps, antedates even the aucieut Egypriane, is done with colors ground in water, into which is put sufficient dissolved glue -or matter of a like nature -to tlx them to the surface applied. Oil painting which is said to have first come into use in the fourteenth century, is done, as its name implies, with colors ground in nil, into which is put turpentine or oil, or both, as the case may require. 1 propose to take up tbe mixing of oil cuter first, because it is most couuuou:: and, also, because it is much more simple than the other. The tiuts pro- duced irutl teeters ground in oil retain the same aspect after being applied to a prepar- ed surtace, wbile tints made from colors ground in NA ter invariably change their aspect after being applied and dried, in some cases to such a degree as to make them almost utlrecitgliizab'e. SLAB AND MIXING- KNIFE. A slab rntt.t be procured upon which to place colors and u knife is needed to (nix them. A piece of ground glass, about eighteen inches long and t weive inches wide, ruugh side up, will do very well for the fer- nier, and a common, ueediuni-,ize palette knife will do for the latter. 11avin; secured, besides these two iutlinpet.sable things, a cup of turpentine w -i;11 which to thio Down the colors, if necessary, or to rleou the slab. and a common waste put, you ore ready to proceed. Use tubo colors; Only five are ne- cessary, newels ; cu mine, Chinese blue, light demote yellow, black mud flake white. At the right hard upper corner L f the slab put some carmine, sante blue and some yel- low, in a row, placing each color about two inches d stunt (rem ILe other, and the black and ebile es fur away from them us pos- sible. The red, blue and yellow are called prima-. ries, be(-ou,e they are the foundation of all colors. '1'liey eunaut he nnnde from usher ciders; but from them ct:n be made all the tiute, nue; sea shade4 ueee.-slug for any painting, it:eluding even black. Secondary colors are so called because they are made from the primaries, or first colors. Take some red and the same quan- tity of blue and mix them well together and they make a deep purple; mix equal quantities or red and yellow and a deep orange re ults. Equal quantities of blue and yellow mixed make a deep green. The result will he a row of colors, running parallel with the upper edge of the slab, in tie following order-cartnine, blue and yellow -primaries; and purple, orange and green-st-col,daries-which may be called base color e. HOW TO MIX TINTS AND HUES. IR order to unix tints employ white, Take a little red and add white to it, and a lighter red or dark pitik is produced. Take inquiet. "^?^a.0f this pink and add n tittle white to that aud mai is a sou lighter pink. Continue thus until five pink tints are pro- auced, one lighter than the other. Repeat ti's operation with the other base colors and the slob will contain five tints of pink, one unser the other in u s'a'aight cetumn, the lightest at the lower part of it, and five tints of each of the other colore in the sante order. It will be observed that in making these tits the color front which they were derived has not been destroyed:that is to say the base colors have only been modified; in other words the red is plainly to be seen in all its tints, as the other colors are still seen iu theirs, Such are tints; and in order to be perfect they must show at once the color from which they are derived If just enough yeliow to make it seen is added to a pick tint, a yellow pink, that is, a pink inclining to yellow ora hue of pink is the result. If this operatiou is reversed and a like quantity of pink is put into a yellow tint a piuk yellow, that is, a yellow inclining to pink, or a hue of yellow is pro- duced. A hue therefore is that slight niod • flcation of a tint, which, while it does not destroy the color, makes it partake of another color, la a like manner the same result from the primary and secondary colors may be ob- tained. If a little yellow is put into the red a red yellow results; if into the yellow a little red is put we have a reddish yel- low; if into the purple we put red we have a red purple; it we put blue into it we have a blue purple; if into the blue we put green we have a green blue; if into the green we put blue we have a blue green. These and all their like are hues. SOMETHING ABOUT SHADES. Shades ire the opposite in their meaning to tints. Tints are made by adding white to the base colors; by adding black to base colors shades aro produced. The term shade, however, must not be confounded with the term shadow, because shade and shadow are two different things. To make sbadows or mist shades, which are thrown on surfaces by objects in relief requires more than black. One thin which ch is well to bear in mind is that not all blacks are pure. Some contain blue, some contain red and some green, It this fact is sot looked into the risk will be run of destroy- ing base colors instead of making them deeper in shade. For example: If black is looked at attentively it may be seen to bo onlya hue of black -that is, a blue -black. e lack. It we put some of it into the yellow with the intention of making a shade of that color the result will not be a pure darker yellow, but a darker green yellow. If we put this same black into red wewill get, not a darker red, but a purple red; if we put it into the blue, however, it will give the desired result because of its bluish nature. But clean off all these shades from the slab Including the black as they are useless. Now take all the colors on the slob except- ing the red, blue and yellow and remove them to the centre of it. Having done so, mix then altogether to Boo what the con- glomeration will produce before consigning it to the waste -pot. Having at last mixed them all thoroughly together the result is a reddish -gray color. THE SE3,U1ET OP BLACK. To many persons the result means noth- ing, or at most it means nothing hut an ugly cuter produced at the expense of sever- al beautiful tints and hues, but it may merle a great deal. Let us see. If we were going to reproduce this grey, the first step would be to procure some black, some white, some red and 003118 yellow with which to nccurn- pltsh that end. What does that prove? 1t pruve,e that It black is required ro Rieke stay, the cider lust produced must c'.ataiq black. Black and white are the two priuei • pal parts t gray; if t o white could be taken out, black won'd remain. Red, blue and yellow tuixed together iu proper gaau- titles &mike black. To prove it, take some red aud yellow and seine blue, that is about an equal quantity of each color, and proceed to mix thew together. Pay strict attention to the changes they will undergo in the operation. Where the red comes hi Cnataet with the yellow 1. 'ions to Grange, where the blue comes in c,nitact with the red It turns to purple, and a herr: the yellow comes in contact with the Mile it turns to green Nuw, as greeu and mral4e and pur- ple run one into the other they f n•n1 a mass which, es we continue to niix it, grows grayer and grayer, now inclining to red, now W blue and now to yellow or green, as each of these colors chalice; to wedeln Mee under the k.iife, growing darker aulld•trker all the time until, the colors teeing thoroughly mixed together, an apparently deep black is pro- duced. But us the re •ult i.i examined it will be seen to have a green cu it; so a little red is added, aitch takes away the green at once; but, having put in a tittle toe much red, the black now looks purplis t. Put iu thea the least bit of yellow, aud at last a good deep black is secured: ANY SORT WILL DO. 1t may not be taken fur granted, however, that this result cau be produeed only by using carmine, Chinese blue and chrome yellow. Any red, blue and yellow wtll pru- due:e the saute result. But it mus- be borne in mind that if toe primary colors aro im- pure, so will be the results obtained. If a prism of flint glass is held in a hori- zontal position between a piece of whi 1• paper and a sun's ray, ruff: cted 011 1.11,, firmer will be the colors of the raitib hw- that is to say, red and its hue;; thou orange and its hues; then yellow an•1 Its hues; thea green and its hues; then blue and it; hues; and then purple fled its huts. Tae colors which will appear most prunl'ue It to the eye will be the primaries, red, blue and yel- low; the next will be the seonii bt les, orange, green and purple, and the next the different hues. All these colors an 1 he's are produced by the red, blue and yullo,v, mingling nue with the oth.• if the prism is retuo vett nothing but Mei will be seen on the paper. This very simple experiment shows that solar light is composed of red, blue and yellow, and that a prism has the properties of separating its colors and re- flecting theta to the eye. TILE SEOINT OF COLOR. Nuw, everything is made up if mutter or matters which have in themselves; the properties of absorbing aud reflecting li,_ht -that is, color, in different degrees. Fur instance, red is red because the matter of which it is composed has Lite pnlpe.-tios in itself of absnnbin.; two lit' the three counpo- tient plu-ts of the light falling upon it and of reflecting the third part only; that is to say, of absorbiug the blue and the yellow of it aud of reflecting the red. It is the same with blue bodies. They are composed of matters which absorb the red and the yellow of the light falling upon thsin and of reflecting blue only. And it is the same with yellow bodies; they absorb the blue aud the red, aud reflect only the yellow. Again, some bodies have the properties of absorbing a part of the red aud a part of the blue and all of the yellow and of reflecting red and blue in a blended state -that is, purple; some of absorbing a part of the yellow and a pert of the blue and all of the red, and of reflecting blue and yellow in a blended state -that is, green; and some of absorbing a part of the red and a part of the yellow aud all of the blue ail of reflect- ing red and yellow in a blended state -that is, orange. There are bodies, also, which do not aleeorb any part of the liglilt falling on them, but reffeeeriteeti;e co;: ae. the ere; they are said to he white bodies. Atelia, there are bodies which absorb the light and reflect no part of it: they are said to he black bodies. And lastly there are b %dies which art trade up of nary different mat- ters and which reflect a corresponding num, her of tints, bees, shades, whites sad grays. It will be well to note, in conclusion, that the properties whieh enter into the pigments with which these experitnents have been made, and which give them color, enter also into the whole creation, aud that therefore it is not unreasonable to suppose that, could a part of everything belonging to the globe be ground aud mixed together, a hue of gray would be the result. Children 1 Fresh Air, Dr. Felix Oswald says that a largo pro. portion of the deaths of children is caused by lack of fresh air, "The fi:st idea of an average city nurse," says the doctor, "in taking charge of a sickly infant, is the im- pulse of shutting off every faintest draught of out -door air. The consequent decline of the poor little mertyr is ascribed, not to its true cause, but to 'that arae.: in the window frame,' 'that wretched big key- hole.' If a ebild, by dint of marvelous constitution, survives the misery of its pest.. den, the result encourages a continuance of the time honored custom. If the vital pri,iciple succumbs after a desperate s nig- gle, that 'draught through the dour' has to bear all the blame, and the key -hale is plugged up all the tighter. 10 the Black Hole of Calcutta the death of the victims would be ascribed to the loophole iu the wall that admitted a faint draught or night - air." What Science Is. The term s^.fence is often used us synony- mous with knowledge; but practic liy them is a wide difference between the nueming$ attached to the words scieuca and know- ledge. .V man is often spoken of as one of wide knowledge, who yet knows uo science, whilst a scientific man is frequently pitiedor blamed fur hes a 1 , g lack of k ,LI uv 1 i C b Yet science is knowledge, though, perhaps, one could hardly ho justified in sating that knowledge is science. Why that hesitationt Probably because when we speak of a mall having a wide knowledge, we mean that he bas a memory stored with facts; and when we speak id a man of seieuce, w•e mean that be has not only a memory storeI with facts but also with principles; that he has the power of arranging his facts in groups, and of deducting the princigles of laws which govern or concern these facts; that 110 has, in short, the power of deducion and co-or- dination largely developed, Hove Two Fawns Toot- Their Rations. Amos Patterson, of East Valley, Wash., has two lino young deer that he has raised on his place. He was out hunting one day and killed a doe with two young fawns. The creatures were very small and ran away in terror at the death of their mother. In a few days Mr. Patterson caught them and brought them home. They steadily refused to imbibe the lacteal fluid through a regula- tion nipple attached to a nursing bottle, and other artifices tried were iu vain. What was to be aae? If they tvere much longer without food tidy would perish. A brigt t idea struck Mr. Patterson. Taking the hide of the no her that had been butchered pre- viously he inserted the nipples through the skill. When n n the fawns felt, the warm coat of the slimes:ed mother, they commenced to drinl: nt ones, and for a good while after no tr a I' was experienced in giving them their regu'nr rations, -Forest end Stream. +wwPn•PuWWwilew...weets•eolein•neeleemeett1WIttwnwenwww=easelmemeeW TILE AMERICAN INDI.� REV. DR. 1 ALMAGE THINKS HE 1-3 CREATING A STIR. The Tabernacle Preacher's Oplhlaur on the Indian Queetlun--He Does Not Think the Indian Should Hold Land That He Does Not Cultivate. The type of man that is how making the most stir in America is easily distinguished from all styles recognized in Ethnology, - head, square; hair, black and etraigbt; face, broad; color, cinnamon; hands and feet, small; ayes, deeply set, sleepy and half closed; a character haughty, reticent, re- vengeful, treacherous, centimes breve, some. times eloquent. It is the American Indian. Our natioual controversy for many years concerning the African threatened to split this nation from East to West, and lot the North fall off on one side of the fracture, aud the South fall off on the other side. Then the controversy couctr•ning the Chinese filled tbe land with strife. And now we have the Indian under violent discussion, and he will continue to be the cause of agi- tation until justice dominates on the pried. ple that nothing is settled until it is settled aright. If bullets could have done the work of adjusting the long quarrel between the Indian and the whits man, this subject would now have been a age of ancient history, instead of a present horror. In olio year the military end civil service among our Aborigines cost our government eeventy•eigbt million of dollars. The Ore- gon war with the Indians cost ten minions lit dotter.. The Cheyenne war cost thirty- six 11111103:5 of dollars. The Sioux war cost thirty-nine 101111ons of dollars, The Semin- ole war cyst fifty millions of dollars; and over see en hundred uiitiou, of dollars have been expended in Indian wars, and one of the fiercest of these viers is uuw rug;ng. There is no way for the United States Government now to do except by force of alms to put down the Indian rebel- lion, a'od it will be done, 1'w', t13 tlgh there may be vacillations between victory and dtfew, barbarism can never s:uutl bet re eivilizatiott, But as semi as Ibis male. telt is quelled we ought all to go to studying two propositions: one is that idleness cannot bo kept in good morals; and the 0, her is that hunger cannot be kept quiet. Wo 61100 been supporting -1 say •'wo" for every person who pays a tox has been levied on - we have been suppnrtfug in ,ellen( ss u great multitude of Iudiau,. Now those able - be( ied savages, like able- bodied 3s hite mete ought to work if they cau find work, or take the coesegUence, sta•vatiou. There ought to be some way of putting on one roll the aged, the invalid, the imbecile, the crippled of the Indian tribes, and having them supported at the expense of the United Stales Govern- ment, on good and healthful and fresh food, and under comfm':ah1e shelter, and season- ably clothed. All the rest ought to be pat to work. If there can bo found nothing else fur them to do, then let theta, with shovel and wheelbarrow, move a mountain from one place to another, and after that, move it back again. The great lazy Indian hulks, that gather around the railroad stations between Omaha and San Francisco or Minnesota aud Oregon, begging for whisky and doing nothing for a livelihood, while beneath their feet is laud that would yield luxuriant harvests if called upon by plow and hoe, are nuisances that ought to be abated. Ninety-nine out of every hundred of the Indians have inu•ele enough, and brain enoughtoea•n it livelihood. An idle pop- utatiou i; always a besotted population. Any plan that proposes to support an Indian merely because he is an Indian is a wroug •n him, and au outrage to all the other races oe, mei. I (to not see why the lediaos Should have a Int to uccupy la ,tjttt .they will not cultivate, and land whieh is doing now 00 more by way of production than was being done a hundred years ago. The trouble is that the United States (gov- ernment neither doe. one thing or theotber. 1t professes to sui put t the Indian tribes, while through its swindling agencies its failure to do so is conspicuous. Let the tribes be nrokeu up and sent through all parts ',flew Uuited States, and then they will learn to Miele up a hying like the rest of us. Yuu might as well put all the colored population of this country in a reservation, and take care of thein your- selves, or all the Chinese in another reserva- tion and take care of thew yourselves. Let the Indians be distributed in all the towns, cities and neighborhoods of the country, aud those who cannot work be put in alms hooses, and those who are able to work trade to look out for themselves. As it is now, the Iuctans have been taught to expect the U ted States Government to take care of tl,dm; and when the supply has failed to deme through officials who have put into their own pockets that which was supposed to go to the Indians, these barbarians have enacted massacre. And why be surprised) We have, as an nation, gone on the wrong principle. Wo have supposecl that this Indian queetiou would settle itself on the theory that this race would die out --what with wars and starvation and exposure to hard winters, and whisky in full swing. This hope, built o0 the graves of a race of of men who have as much right to live as any other race, is a cruel, unreasonable and unchristian hone. That they may be civiliz- ed and gospelizld and saved, both for this world and the next we have had demon- strated in cases innumerable. Bring them out from r their seclusion and isolation. s esti Ull, Put them among the other races, Treat them as you treat all. Wash them clean from the filth of centuries. Cut off their tangled and uncanny locks. Have them throwaway their moccasins and put on a decent pair of shoes, their old blanket and wear a coat tha t fits, and scalping knife, and take a shoe last or a yard stick or a chisel or a pen. Give thein tete right of suffrage. Mako the Guvernatorial Chair and the Congressional Hall and the White House, possible. Let the spelling book and the Constitution of the United" at St es and, the Bible do their work, and you will have saved a race. May the United States troops gain speedy and com- plete victory in this Indian war; and tben, may our government, backed up by the sentiments of the best people, put the bar- barians who survive, under the best in- dustrial, educational and plural influences. As 1 turn the leaf of this week's events, at the top of the page I find the startling an- nuuneemeutof the departure from this life of a Queen of Song, our American Jenny Lind, good and gracious and illustrious Emma Abbott. She had in her nature the material out of which Qneen Elizabeth end Mary Queen of Scots and Marie Antoinette wore made, but without any of their takings -off of character, From a penniless girl she rose by force of will and the blessing of God until wrapt assemblies, in this country and Europe, were entranced with her cadences.
