INDIAN POLICY OF THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT.
~


At the time Of the arrest and in
carceration Of our felIoW-townsmen,
Evans, Hale, Hardwielz. Harper,
and Devcraux, in view Of extradi-
ton for the murder If certain AS
8inaboine Indians in British Ameri-
ca, we asserted that the arrests
were made to perfect a stroke Of
policy, to act upon t1e feelings of
the Indians i'm the British territory
in the grand peace measure which
was then about to be forced upon
them. The assertion was ridi ~u1ed
by parties who considered them
selves judges Of the situation, who
insisted that the British Canadian
authorities had no covert motive
in their action against the lives
and liberty of our citizens. The
following extract, Of description
Of The tour Of Major Irvine, from
the Manitoba Free Press proves
the correctness Of the conclusion
we had arrived at III tffe premises:

THE YELLOW STONE,

Tn common with other sections

to enhance the general prosperity,
hut while willing to aid in advanc-

In sixteen Of thirty five cases the tastes
and dispositions are described as closely
similar; in tho remaining nineteen they
were much alike, but subject to certain
named differences, which were always
those of intensity or energy.
From all these facts Mr.. Gallon de.
duces the conclusion that the resemblance
between twins is not superficial but ex.
tremely intimate. The twins were in the
cases summarized reared exactly alike up
to their carly manhood and womanhood F.;
then the conditions of their lives changed
what change of conditions has pro-
duced the most variations? The replies
showed that the parents ascribed what
dissimilarity there was wholly, or almost
wholly to some form of illness. In only
a very few cases is there some allusion to
the dissimilarity being partly due to the
com bined action Of many small influences,
and in no case is it largely, much less
wholly, ascribed to that cause. In not a
single instance is there word abont the
growing dissimilarity being due to the
action o: the firm free will Of one or both
Of the twins, which had triumphed over
natural tendencies,
Mr.. Gallon last exan.1nes twenty cases
where there was p great dissimilarity at
first, to ascertain now far an identity Of
nurture in childhood and youth tended
to assimilate them. All these cases are
absolutely accordant. Their evidence is
to the effect that nature prevails enor.
mously over nurture when the differences
of nurture do not exceed what is com.
monty to be found among persons of the
same rank of society and in the same
country, for where in twins strong dis.
similarity in tastes and habits has been
noted in early childhood it has ever been
'essened or removed by identity of asso.
citation, influence or education.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Parents should be very careful and
not let the rays of the sun shine directly
upon the faces Of sleeping children.
Strong light is very injurious to the eyes,
especially if they are inclined to weak
| ness.
1t is worth knowing that if one volume
of castor oil be dissolved in two or three
volumes Of spirits Of wine, it will render
paper transparent, and the spirits rapid
~ evaporating.kthc paper in few minutes
becomes fit for use. A drawing in pencil
or India ink can thus b. made, and if the
paper is placed in spirits Of wine the oil
is dissolved out, restoring the paper to
its natural color.
Many persons in preparing potatoes for
cooking pare off thick slice from the
surface instead of digging out the eyes.
The skinning process is all wrong, as the
strength of the vegetable lies near the
surface-the starch growing less abun.
dant as the center is approximated. The
best way is to scour them we'll, and
either bake or boil them with their skins
| on.
The smoke from the wick of an ex.
tinguished candle is very deleterious, and
breathing it in quantities would soon
cause death. Valentine mentions case
of company Of carousers who tricked a
boy sleeping in the corner of a room, by
one of their number holding to the bow s
nose the smoke Of blown.out candle.
After half an hour the boy fell into short
breathing, trembling, and cramps, and
died in three days. The composition of
this smoke is carbureted hydrogen, car.
bonic oxide, burnt olein, etc. When
putting out a candle light before going to
bed, always do it so that there shall lie no
running wick left to poison the air of the
room.
Potatoes are adapted to be eaten " it'll
lean meat-the starchy potatoes furnish
ing the Gattening and heating clements
which lean meat lacks, while the lean
meat supplies the bone and muscle
making elements not afforded by potato
or fine -four bread. Fat meat affords
heating and fattening element, like pota-
to, but in a form less easily digested by
most persons.
! Porcelain dishes which have become
cracked may, it is said, be rendered
water-tight again by drying them com.
pletely in warm place, after which so.
luton of water'glass is to be poured in
and allowed to stand over nj ht, then
pouring it off and allowing the adherent
film to dry slowly.
Flour kept in barrels for long time
often acquires a peculiar odor, supposed
to be derived from the barrel. This
smell actually indicates an incipient de-
composition prejudicial to bread.making,
owing to the gluten having become par.
tally soluble. 1t is therefore much
preferable to keep -four in sacks, unless
for short periods.

MITTENS.
The New York Herald tells it's readers
now to make cheap and warm mittenS
from the skin of the sheep:
During period of more than thirty
years past, we have been accustomed to
make cheap and durable mittens in the
following manner, to be worn when per-
forming all sorts of outdoor work. A
good sheep-skin is purchased for ST., which
has been tanned with the wool on. The
| wool, of course. is short, not more than
hall an inch in length. A shcepskin of
medium size will make from three to four
pairs Of mittens, as per the size of the
hands. A pattern was first made out of
stiff brown paper. The paper thumb

Then the leather will fit the thumb hole.
One pattern will answer for both mittens
if the leather is turned over after one
mitten has been cut out. Sometimes
the mittens are made with the wool in
side. When mittens arc to be used for
handling wood, stone, lumber and other
things which are liable to wet them the
leather is snaeared with a coat of coal
tar, which must be dried in before the
fire. A coat Of coal tar will prevent the
leather from becoming wet like piece of
wet cloth, and it will also make the nit.
tens wear like horn. Apply tar only to
the parts thet are most exposed to con-
tact with the materials to be handled.
In lieu of sheep skin we have sometimes
employed tanned calfskin. Mittens will
keep hands much warmer than gloves.
Procure glovcr's needle Of triangular
shape, let the edges of the leather be
wetted before the mittens are sewed, en-
ploy strong thread, we'll waxed with bees.

RolANrtc INCIDENT At SEA.-A TO
mantle incident occurred on the last
trip Of the steamer Rotter, due from
Rotterdam to New York. Among the
cabin passengers were Mr.. Van Sci.
Ter and Miss Maria Reuter-, who were
engaged to be married. To give the
event an air of.romance they had de-
cided to have the ceremony performed
on board the ship in mid-ocean. On
the evening preceding the day fixed
for the wedding, it transpired that the
young lady was the young mans half
sister, 1t appeared from explanations
given to the passengers that Van Sell
er left his home in Amsterdam when
only ten years old, shipping as a cabin
boy on board vessel bound for the
West Indies. He revisited his native
place after lapse of five years, but
finding that his father had died during
the interval, and his mother had mar
ricd again, he shipped once more, and
did not return until about two months
ago, when he was unable to find any
traces of his mother During visit
to Rotterdam he met Miss Reuter-, and
an attachment at once sprung up be-
tween them, which resulted in an en-
gagemcnt In talking about their ear
" days they accidentally discovered
their relationship to each other. 1t
has been arranged that Miss Reuter-
shall return on the next steamer The
brother being rich, will provide for his
sister.
