4 Little Domestic Matter.


WE often wonder if it ever occurs TO
The majority of men thal their wives have
an interest ia the family finances. In
many cases, certainly, no snch thought
seems to have entered their heads, and
the results are evil, in many ways When
two people marry il il fair to assume that
they wish 70 be happy, and that each in
tends TO labor to that end They have
certain resources, and can count upon an
income of so much They have been nc.
customod to q certain style of living, and
the nature aud extent of their wants alc
determined by their circumstances.
Now the natural and proper thing for
them to do is TO SO regulate their mode Of
living that their expenditures shall fall
within their income, and al the same time
satisfy their wants IA fully as people in
their circumstances can afford to have
them satisfied, Indeed, every married
pair must do this ii they are to set ON at
allin life. Veal want more than we c4n
have, but we want some things far more
than others, and with a limited ability to
buy We should select for purchase, from
the whole list Of coveted comforts, those
things which are most essential to our
happiness and wellboiHg. But to do this
iudiCiously it is necessary that there shall
be a complete understanding between
the two purchasing powers that each
shall know the extent of the means at
command, 50 that the expenditures OF
each may be regulated accordingly.
In TOO many families the wife knows

Ast0nisled Indians.

The Indian tribes have no system Of
notation by which to express large mum,
lers, except comparison, which convey
confused and general idea As numor.
oUs lag the trees in the forest, cas- the
blades Of grass, " or "as the buffalo on the
plains" are very obvious comparisons
when an idea of unCOuutCd numbers is
intended to be conveyed
The other day, when Two Bear" was
here, lac told Father De Smct that when
he left home his tribe told him to give
them, on his return, the number OF the
whites and their wigwams which lie saw
while gone. Two Bears said that when
they reached Sioux City they notched all
the people they saw on stick, and
counted the houses which they saw. But
when they got to Chicago the people were
SO many that they could not count Them
and SO with the wtgwams; so they con.
tented themselves with counting the
streets. At Washington, Philadelphia
New York, and Ch0uteau's town (St
Louis they were COMPOUNDED with the
number Of whites and houses they saw,
and gave up Ill idea of counting them.
Al they could do, Two Bears said was
to tell their people that the whites were
as numerous as the blades of grass.
Father De Smot said that tie surprise
Of Two Bears reminded him that many
years ago he visited the Grows, and when
the latter heard the "BIack Gown" had
come they called a council.
The occasion of the council being called
together was this One Of their chiefs
had been sent to Washington to see the
Great Father. On his return be was
asked by his people TO give some account
Of what he saw His statement of the
numbers Of the whites which he said he
had seen appeared so improbable to the
minds of lis Countryme1 that they re-
fused to believe him, and gave him the
nickname Of " Big Liar He remained
thus under ban until the arrival OF Father
De Smet, and, knowing the regard they
had for the Black Gown, he had the CCun-
Gil called together in order to VindiCate
his character for truth and yeraCity. The
assembled chiefs asked Father De Smet
in regard TO the matter. lie told them
that if they would start at sunrise and
ride around in a circle MI day till sun
down, and were then able to count the
blades of grass contained in the circle,
they would form some idea of the num-
hers of the whites, They were astonish
el and still more surprised when Father
De Smet told them that he had seen cities
across the sea that would take them from
sunrise to sunset to ride around on their
ponies, and that the houses on the space
thus ridden We're as thick rs the fingers
on their hands. After this simple state
ment, the Indians no longer doubted
"Big Liars statements, but were ready
to believe anything said about The vast
ness of the white population. st, Louis
