4 Paris Manicure.

In Paris the care OF fingers is n trade.
Olive Logan says she visited mani
cures rooms, out of curiosity, and found
them crowded with men and women
awaiting their turn. The dress and
bearing of all present indicated their
position, and in almost every case it
was one of social importance. After n
tedious waiting Olives turn came, and
she seated herself by the manicure's
little table, upon which were scattered
the tools Of her trade. These were
scissors and knives Of shape specially
devised for the trimming of the nails.
files, nail cleaners, n small basin Of rose
water with bit of soap near it, tiny
towel of linen cambric bit Of lemon.
and various polishing powders and
sweet smelling unguents in the form Of
ruby colored pomades The first step
in her proceedings was TO wash off the
finger tips carefully, then to drv them
after assuring herself that there were no
ink spots or other stains upon them.
Then She clipped and trimmed the nails
into the approved fiIbert shape, neither
too short nor too long, nor too pointed
nor too broad the "half moons" at the
base Of the nails were gently brought
into clear light; all Chang nails" were
amputated, and after this she rubbed a
coral colOTed pomade Of delicious odor
upon the nails and the upper part OF all
the fingers. After allowing this to re-
main little while she wiped IL of
again, and scattered upon the nails a
golden brownish powder, which she
vigorously rubbed with the whole
length Of her powerful forefnger, oc-
casionally aided by the palm More
pomade, more powder, more rubbing.
and then the nails were shown with that
beautiful CLEAN upon them, that pearly
pinkness, seen in the interior Of some
delicate sea shells. The charge was

EXPERIENCE OF AN OLD RESIDENT AMONG THE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO ACCRUE FROM A
TRANSFER or THE INDIAN BUREAU.
ST. LOUIS, Oct l, 1878.
But little done by the Indian Commission to-
day. Captain Joseph Larbarge gave hts experience
with Indians, among whom he spent tho greater
part OF fifty years, particularly on the
Upper Missouri River. He thought the transfer
of the indian Bureau to the War Department would
benefit the Indians In many respects. They would be
better fed and honestly treated and the cost
tho government would be less but In other
things IL would not be we'll II honest
civil agents could be obtained they would
satisfy the indians better than military agents !;
but tho trouble - TO get honest civilians. Indians do
not like soldiers, and tho latter would probably have
less inuenoe them matters outside OF purely
military affairs than civilians would.
CAUSE THE LATE TROUBLES
The late troubles with the Indians grew out of mis-.
Management OF civil agents ana frauds practised by
agents and other white men VINO are permitted 70

Is TO mako money of the lndians. In regard to the
transfer Of supplies, he said the War Department
