WASHINGTON.
Another Indian Commission.

Another Indian Commission.
Washington, Oct. 13.-Many Of the
Nez Perces Indians have never been
parties to any treaty, and serious
difficulties having arisen between
them and the white settlers of
Idaho and Eastern Oregon, the In
dian Bureau Is now preparing to send
a special commission to them with a
view to settling all questions in dispute
and ayerting further trouble. The
commission will consist of Gen. o. o.
Howard and Maj. Ii. Claywood, his
adjutant,. VIM. Stickney, Secretary Of
the Board of Indian Commissioners, ID.
ii. Jerome, of Saginaw, Michigan,
and probably A. G. Barstow, of Proyi-
dence, r. l., the latter two being also
members OF the Board of Indian Com
missioners. Gen. Howard, who leaves
Washington to-day, and the eastern
members of the commission, will rem
devious in Chicago on Monday next.
The South Carolina Election.
General Sherman, who returned to
Washington to-day, has been very busy
at the War Department attending to
routine business. He had a consultation
with Secretary Cameron and was visited
by several prominent Republicans from
South Carolina, who had also been In
conference with the Secretary of War
upon the subject of the existing condi-
tion of affairs in that state. 1t does
not appear that any representations
concerning the necessity for troops were
made either to the secretary or to Gen.
Sherman in addition to what has here
tofore been presented for consideration,
but an urgent appeal is being made for
the s~tationing of army forces through
out the state in such a manner as will
prevent all possibility of disturbances
during the campaign and coming cleo
ton. The opinion in the army here
Is that there Is already sufficient
tire ops stationed in South Carolina to
protect all citizens in their right. 1t is
probable, however, that the statements
of the delegation from that state will
be considered at the cabinet meeting on
Tuesday next, at which Attorney Cen
eral Taft will be present. The view of
the government, at least to this time, has
been that every necessary %precaution
has been taken for the protection OF
voters In sections of Southern states
where responsible representations have
been made that their rights are in
danger.

A DIRTY PIECE OF PAPER WORTH
HALF A MILnIoN.-A story is told, re-
lates Mr.. Smiles, III his new book Thrift
of a poor soldier having one day called
at the shop of hairdresser, who was
busy with his customers, and asked re-
lief, stating that he had stayed beyond
his leave of absence, and unless he could
get lift on the coach, fatigue and severe
punishment awaited him. The hair
dresser listened to the story respectfully
and gave him guinea. ''God bless you,

I sold. May you be able to get some
thing for it to repay you for your kind

that dirty piece of paper proved worth

FLOATING GARDENS. the beauti
full valley of Cashmere, among the Hi
rnalayan Mountains, lies a lovely lake
called Dial. Floating about on its sur
face, sometimes carried by the winds
from one end of the lake to the other, are
numerous small islands, or which grow
the fairest cucumbers and the most lus-
cious melons known. The way in which
these floating gardens are made is very
curious. All about the main shores of
the lake grow quantities of reeds, sedges
and water-]ilies. When these grow very
thickly together, people cut them from
the roots which hold them near the shore.
The leaves of the plants are then spread
out oyer the stems, making a sort of
trestle-work to support the soil with
which it is next to be covered. After
this has been done, the seeds are planted
and the floating garden is left to care
for itself until the fruits are ready for
picking.-iSt. Nicholas for Nov.

ty there were two sisters present,-one
widow who had just emerged from her
weeds the other not long married,
whose husband had lately gone out to
India for short term. A young bar
rister present was deputed to take the
widow down to dinner. Unfortunately
he was under the impression that his
partner was the married lady whose hus-
band had just arrived in India. The
conversation between them began With
the lady's remarking how extremely hot
it was. Eyes, it is very hot, returned
the young barrister. Then happy
thought suggested itself to him, and he
added, with cheerful smile, ''But not
Sc hot as the place to which your hus-
band has gone" The look with which
the widow answered this "happy thought
will haunt that young barrister till the
day of his death.

FIREMAN s DRESS. AN improved dress
designed to enable firemen to enter a
burning building in safety, has been re-
Gently made the subject of some interes-
ting experiments. It consists of two air.
tight garments, worn one over the other,
after the manner Of q divers dress. The
inner dress is of rubber and fits tightly;
the outer dress, worn over this, is of
leather and is quite loose. The outer
suit is also secured to metallic helmet
resting on the shoulders and entirely
covering the head. A line of hose is at
tached to the back of the outer dress.
where it devides into two smaller pipes.
One goes to the top of the helmet on the
outside, where it discharges number of
fine streams of water that flow down over
the outside of the dress. The other
branch pipe passes under the fireman 8
arm, and ends in a nozzle that he may
use in directing the stream on the flames.
Within this hose is nnother, smaller,
that delivers air under pressure to the
open space between the two garments
and keeps it away from the person, and
at the same time supplies fresh air for
respiration. To allow for the escape of
the spent air, two small holes are drilled
in the helmet opposite the eyes, and
through these the exhausted air escapes
driving the smoke and flames away from
the face and giving clear view without
injury to the eyes. Such dress ena-
bled fireman to stay within a burning
building for twenty minutes in perfect
safety.-s7he IVorld's Work" Serb

INTERESTING 'sDEAD LETTER STATS
TIcs.-A recent report, emanating from
the post-ofce department, gives some
interesting statistics i'll regard to the
''dead letter" subject, which will inter
est those persons who are forever con-
tributing through carelessness, to this
branch of the public service. Its shown
that, in 1874, the dead letter office at
Washington handled 4,710,773 of the
800, 900, 900 letters carried in the mails.
OF these, 1892, 224 were delivered, g.
800, GIG destroyed, and the balance were
fled, or still remain not acted on. The
actual or nominal valume of the entire
number was 81, e37, 427.OS. Photographs
were enclosed in 39,767, sums of less
than 81 in 10, 1894, and sums of 81 and
upward in 1874. Large sums of mon
ey are frequently found in these letters.
Several months ago check for $25, 600
drawn to bearer, came to light when an
unstanlped envelope was opened, but
theowner was easily found. Acabinet OF
curiosities, taken from dead letters, IS
kept on exhibition. There are several
handsome gold watches, diamond
ring valued by an expert at 5000, and
other articles of jewelry. There is a
bottle of holy water, lump OF opium
weighing eleven ounces, and various
other drugs. Fancy work of all char
acters, false hair, under garments, gloves,
wells, neckties, ribbons, stockings, etc,
TOO numerous for description. Every
four years an auction is had, and all the
stock is sold. Comparative reports for
the last five years show steady increase
in the number of dead letters received.

HOME LIFE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
One hundred years ago, not a pound Of
coal or cubic foot Of Illuminating gas
had been burned in the country. No
iron stoves were used, and no contrivan-
ces for enonomizing heat were employed
until DR.. franklin invented the iron
framed fireplace which still bears his
name. All the cooking and warming in
town and country were done by the aid
of fire kindled on the brick hearth or in
the brick oven. Pine knots OF tallow
candles furnished the light for the long
winter evenings, and sanded floors sup
piled the place of rugs and carpets. The
water used for household purposes was
drawn from deep wells by the creaking
''sweep." No form of pump was used in
this country SO far IS we learn, until af-
ter the commencement of the present
century. There were no friction matches
in those early days, by the aid of which
fire could be easily kindled, and if If
''went out" upon the hearth over night,
and the finder was damp SO that the
spark would not catch, the alternative
remained of wading through the snow a
mile or so, to borrow brand of neigh
Dor.
Only one room in any house was warm
unless some of the family was Ill in all
the rest the temperature was at zero dur
many nights in the winter. The men
and women of a hundred years ago IN
dressed and went to their beds in tenn
perature colder than that of our modern
barns and woodsheds, and they never
complained.
