WHAT GENERAL CUSTER WOULD

WHAT GENERAL CUSTER WOULD DO IL
HE WERE AN INDIAN.-If were an Indian,
often think that l would greatly prefer to
cast my lot among those of my people who
adhered to the free open plains, rather than
submit to the confined limits of reserya-
ton, there to be the recipients of the blessed
benefits of civilization, with its vices thrown
in without stint or measure. The Indian
can never be permitted to view the question
in this deliberate way. He is neither lux
ury nor necessary of life. He can hunt,
roam, and camp when and wheresoever he
pleases, provided always that in so doing he
does not run contrary to the requirements of
civilization in its advancing tread. When the
soil which he has claimed and hunted over for
SO long a time Is demanded by this to him in
satiable monster, there is no appeal; he must
Weld. or like the car of Juggernaut.it will roll
mercilessly over him, destroying as it adyan-
ces. Destiny seems to have so willed it, and
the world looks on and mods its approval At
best the history of our Indian tribes, no mat
ter from what standpoint it is regarded, af-
fords melancholy picture of the loss OF life
Two hundred years ago it required millions to
express in numbers the Indian population,
while at the present time less than half the
number of thousands will suffice for the pur-
pose. Where and why have they gone? Ask

Prince Louis Napoleon's Life In England.

On his return to London, in September,
1888, he devoted much of his time to the
studies that had previously engaged his atten-
ton, the first result of which appeared in the
,well-known work, "Les Idees Napoleon
iennes," published in the following year. He
resided at this time in Carleton Terrace, and
his mode of life combined the seemingly in
consistent habits of the dissipated man of
the world. He generally rose at about six in
the morning and worked in his cabinet till
noon, when he took slight breakfast, read
the papers, and resumed his studies till two,
when he was ready to receive callers. From
four to five he attended to his private affairs,
and then mounted his horse for ride in the
park, or whiled away the time among the
loungers at TattersalPs or the Club. He
usually dined at seven, and, although by no
means unoccupied in the pleasures of the
man about town, often contrived to spend
part of the evening in study. His manner
at this time was grave and abstracted. He
dressed well but plainly, and seemed too alb
sorbed in his plans for the future to feel much
interest in the passing events of the present.
The author Of the Letters from London"
who was evidently strongly impressed in his
favor, was struck at first sight with his re-

Josephine, but did not observe likeness to
the Emperor. Afterward, however, he saw
or thought he saw the features of the man of
Austerlitz reproduced with astonishing fidel-
ity in the adventurer of Strasbourg The
truth that men see in objects what they wish
to see is illustrated in his remark that Louis
Napoleon's head is so full of the Napoleonic
air as to make a soldier of the Old Guard
thrill at the sight. This is hardly reconcila-
BILE with the wellknown incidents of his at
tempt at Strasbourg, when, though arrayed in
the historic costume of the hero of Auster-
litz, and surrounded by men personating an
imperial staff, the Prince was yet unable to
convince the garrison that the ''nephew of
his uncle" really stood before them. The
writer describes the expression of Louis Ma
poleon's features as noble and grave without
being harsh, and his countenance as charac-
terized by mildness and benevolence. Yet
there was nothing effeminate in his appear
ance, in the opinion of this observer, who
discerned an energetic nature in the dark
shadows of his countenance, tinge of mel
ancholy and thoughtfulness in his slightest
movements, and a keen glance and assured
look which not only indicated disposition to
mediate on great things, but ability to ac-
complish thsm.-"Louis Napoleon in Eng

The Heating Of our Houses.

Entering the door Of one of our "comforta-
Die" modern houses, what meets us? A
pull OF scorched air from register, redolent
of burning iron,-or ofboiled air from steam
heater. The thermometer is standing about
IA. We advance to the parlor. There mat
tiers are even worse, for no outside cold has en-
tered with momentary freshness. The plants
in the window look yellow and forlorn. Omi-
nous cracks are visible here and there in the
furniture-nay, a strip of ornamental veneer
has actually split off from the piano and lies
on the carpet. Our hostess, csming forward
to greet us, is wrapped in little shawl, and
remarks that it is an awful day; that she
hasn't been out, of course, but even in the
