THE GESTLEMANLY TUEK.-The Turk
answers very well to the current idea OF
a gentleman. He is brave, he detests
trade, he is Indifferent to comfort or lux
ury, he can be temperate and even abste-
mious, he has respose of manner, he does
not lose his temper with things inevitable,
nor rail in the calm presence of actual
facts. General di Cesnola, who was lately
American Consul in Cyprus, has many
Illustrations Of the gentlenlaniy Turkish
governor OF the old school arrived on one
occasion just too late to prevent the Cen
eral from removing a sarcophagus which
he had discovered. Finding that the
time to interfere was passed, the old Turk
did not fly into a passion, as European
might have done, but apologized for the
lateness of his visit, smoked the friendly
cigarette, and retired with many compli-
ments, bat without a single allusion to the
resignation, thiSsuperiorItyt to annoyances,
is certainly one of the best sides of the
gentlemanly character 1t is the trait of
a dominant race which cultivates. n lofty
disregard of petty affairs, and perhaps 1t
is aided by the fatalism of Islam. Even
after stripping the gentlemanly character
of its moral and ideal attributes, We find
that this naughty superiority does not
disappear Most aristocracies come Of
conquering races, or are descended, if We
trace them far enough back, from the
ancient clans, or gentes, and these again
lose themselves in the mists Of prehistoric
times. Home Journal

The Var and the Grain Trade.

! There Is 4 sentence In Queen Victoria

speaks no longer OF the Island-only of the
Empire. This points as directly as any
other sentence, or the whole tone OF the adj
| dress, to war for india-to the determlna-
| ton, at all hazards, To defend the British
hold upon Hindostan. Ii is said that Lord
Derby refuses to believe IN or ae. upon the

| their own Judgment upon the probabilities
of war or peace We will recapltnlate few
of the latest agricultural statistics Of Great
Britain during 1871.
Great Britain is the greatest consumer of
foreign products, and, according 10 the re-
turns, during the last year there were IT,
5S3 acres of land under wheat more than III
1876: bat this advance still left the area less
by l73. 81 acres than IN 1885, and even this
advance was nearly counterbalaneed by the
l.-,112 acres under barley and eats less than
in 1876, while the population-the consum-
ing power of diminished produc.Ion-has
increased at the rate OF nearly ; per cent
per aanum. Details give 3l2 returns OF the
wheat crop sent to the government OF which

this. however, Is very much higher than

Ii is very much above the average of Minnie
sofa and about four times more than the
Weld In such states. fox instance, rs Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky. The growth of the
import of corn and -four into Great Britain
has increased abnormally perhaps III the last
two or three years, but 1t has been steady.
In 1871 it was, according TO the customs re-
turns. of the total value Of &c, 5922, %, III

The principal producers for this vast market

CLEaNLISEss.-Dr. n. H. Pearne writes
as follows in the UcStein Stock J0uTaG !:
1t Is true In all cases known to Us, that
the finer instincts agree with the conciu-
sions OF laborious SCI, ntitic research The
great laws cf nature do not jar, but show
4 constant harmony; and it IS pleasant to
see the clucidation OF these truths, which
may sound too grand 10 be mentioned IN
conn ction with the operation OF Clean
iLg a stable. We cannot, however, re-
frain from admiring this harmony, when
we see the busy housewife and clean, i'll
dustrous maid servant scrubbing at floors
and furniture, apparently peri city celan,
and washin. and scalding dishes which We
would at first sight think might be parl-
fed much more simply. Their instincts
are true. You come into the room after
the furniture has been scrubbed, and You
breathe fresher air, and are in fact
healthier, and therefore a happier and
better beng You eat off these dishes
the feod tastes better and 1t dl9ests bet
ter you therefore become, from this
cause also, healthier and happier. The
reason of this is, that the furniture re-
ceives upon its snrface the organic matter
arising from all living creatures, which
after a time is apt to become unpleasant
and unwholesome. Every chair, then,
and every table, becomes source of dis
ease every piece of the wall and ceiling
are the same. This is especially the case
with the furniture most in use every
touch of the hand-even the whltest
hands source of impurity, and that
which is used most has most need Of be-
ing cleaned. Many porous bodies-and
amongst these, cloth-take up these edors
in great abundance, and sometimes re-
tain them SO much as not to give out any
preceptible quantity until they are Very
much filed. We find this to be the case
with carpets, which do not till after some
time become offensive and stifiiing, but
when they are so, are very difficult to
clean. The process of cleaning is too
often confined to beating 1t is to be
hoped that washing of carpets will be-
come more general Until this Is the
case, we shall never get quite free from
| the mwholesome mustineSs of some OF
our floors.

CHIEF JOSEPH AT HOME.-He was re-
clining on a half couch composed of furs
at the south side Of the tent, and near
HIM sat his wife and baby. On the north
side of the tent were two of his chiefs and
woman The reporter, after shaking
hands with Joseph, took out his note
book for the purpose of jotting down lit
tie items which might serve for future
use The chief, after watching him short
time, made signs that he too could write,
and reached for the reporters pencil and
book They were handed him and he
scrawled the following: "Yours, etc,
Joseph, > which he pointed to with great
pride, and then pointing to himself, said,
Joseph" The reporter then, to be sure,
took the book in his own hand, and, after
pointing first to the autograph, pointed
back to the chief in an enguiring manner,
and asked, "Josephi" Whereupon he,
smilingly answered in the Affirmative
That he has more than ordinary desire for

POETICAL SELECTIONS.
The Coming Man.


A pair Of very chubby legs,
Encased in scarlet hose;
A pair of little stub6y boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, little coat,
Cut Is mother can-
And 10, before Us strides, in state,
The future coming man"
His eyes perchance will read the stars,
And search the unknown WAYS;
Perchancc the human heart and soul
VIII open to their gaze;
Perehance their keen and flashing glance
VIII be nations light
Those eyes. that now are wistful bent
On some g big fellows kite.
That brow, where mighty thoughts will dwell
In solemn, secret state,
Where fierce Ambition restless strength
Shall war with future fate;
Where Science from now hidden caves
New treasures shall outpour-
lis knit now, with troubled doubt,
Are two, or three cents, more!
Those lips that, in coming Years,
Will plead, or pray, or teach;
Whose whispered words, on tightening fash,
From world to world may reach;
That sternly grave, may speak command
Or, smiling, win control
Are cOayins now for gingerbread
With all a baby's soul,
Those hands-thOse little busy hands
So sticky, small and brown;
Those hands, whose only mission seems
To tear all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may lie
Within their chubby grasp,
Though now It's but taffy-stick
In sturdy hold they clasp!
All, blessings on those little hands,
Whose work is not done.
And blessings on these little feet,
Whose race is yet unrm.
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan
Whate'er the Future holds in store,
God bless the coming man, y

Indian Inspectors Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. In compliance
with a resolution adopted by the senate, Sec
rotary Schurz has sent to that body copy
of the report recently made by Indian In
snec.or Z. c. Watkins, embcdying certain
highly important recommendations for the
consolidation Of the Indians of Oregon ard
Washington territory, and restoration to the
public domain Of vast areas of valuable land
embraced in most of their present reserva-
tions These recommendations, Invested Of
the explanatory statement aud argument
with which Inspector Watkins supports them
are as follows:
l. That all Indians west Of the Cascade
mountains in Washington territory be con-
solidated at Neah Bay and Puyallup rcserva-
| tions; the fish eating Indians on the former
and the agricultural class on the latter.
.. That the Warm Spring and Umahlla
Indians of Oregon be removed to Yakima
reservation, Washington territory.
3. That all bands of Indians Ill the north
eastern portion of Washington territory he
consolidated on the Columbia river above
the mouth of the Spokane.
NoTE-Watkins recommends that all of
the Colville reservation be restored to the
public domain except strip 10 or II miles
wide adjacent To the Columbia river, as above
indicated. He says the Indians now there
should not be disturbed. They number about
4, 900, and any attempt to move them at
present would lead to serious trouble per-
haps, and cause large expense. He also re-
marks that they occupy country not now
needed by the whites, and which will not
probably he needed for years
4. That the 81 etz and other Indians on
the coast of Oregon be consolidated to the
Grand Ronde reservation.
). That before the reservation thus yaca-
ted are restored to the public domain such
Indians as are qualified for citizenship and
desire it should be perme:ted to select home
steads from the lands to be vacated.
Watkins states that the Yakima reserva-'
ton embraces S0o, 600 acres, one-half of which
Is excellent agricultural land, and that all
the Indians now on 1t are located on sepera.e
forty acre farms cultivating the soil and en-
tirely self-supporting. The new commits
sioner of Indian affairs, Mr.. Hoyt, disap-
proves Watkins recommendations, that In
dians who are farming and self-supportins
on reservations to be vacated should be al
lowed and encouraged to remain IN their
present locations by giving them a title to
their lands under IN Indian homestead act.
Commissioner Hoyt does not concur how
ever, IN the recommendation for consolida-
ton accompanied with provision for giving
agricultural Indians individual proprietorshIp
with titles absolutely inalienable, withon.
which their general improvement cannot be
anticipated. Secretary Schurz IN transmit
ting Watkins report aid Hoyt's letter takes
occasion to express his own opmion that the
proposed consolidation OF agencies would be
OF advantage to the government and to the
Indians and he therefore suggests that con
gress should enact such appropriate leSisla-
ton as viii enable the department. 70 carry
it INTO effect. Watkins estimate OF the total

KEEPING Roses IL BLooM.-As soon
as they have formed their first flowers IN
the open ground, pinch off the end of the
first shoot, and as soon as the rose Is fully
opened, pick it off No rose should be
left to fade upon the bush, as when left
il exhausts the plant in the formation OF
seed. As the plants grow, pinch back
the ends of the shoots when they have
erown SIX inches and rub out all puny
Shoots, thus keeping the plants IN a
rounded, openbush form. If strong shoots
alone are left to grow, they will soon con-
troll the strength of the plant, and the
flowers will be few and often of imperfect
form Should the season be hot and dry,
a mulch of fine, fresh grass or saWdrst or
moss from the woods, should be placed
over the soil three inches deep.

A LIVERPOOL correspondent of the
English Mechanic describes an engine in
which gun-powder was to give the motive
power. There was cylinder, etc. like
the corresponding parts of high pressure
steam engine. Outside the cylinder was
brass wire, heated by a lamp The
supply of gunpowder was in q hopper,
from which plug tap, revolving with the
hy-wheel, carried a small quantity of gun
powder, and at certain point in the
movement dropped the portion of powder
on the red-hot wire The working of the
engine is thus epitomized 70 The theory
was beautiful, but upon the first trial, un-
fortunately, the whole affair went off "
SO completely (very nearly taking fathers
head along with it) that he " let it went, u
and did not make any more"

A E.or NNopru KNnHJsc

A FACT WORTH KNOWING. - Set a
pitcher of ce-water in room inhabited
and in few hours it viii have absorbed
nearly all the perspiration gases of the
room, the air of which will have become
pure, but the water utterly filthy. This
depends upon the fact that the water has
the faculty of condensing and thereby
absorbing nearly all the gases. At or
dinary temperature, pint of water will
contain pint of eorbonic acid gas and
several pints of ammonia This capacity
is nearly doubled by reducing the temper
ature to that of ice. Hence water kept
in room a while is always unfit for use,
and should be often removed, whether it
has become warm or not And for the
same reason the water in pump should
be pumped out in the morning before any
is used. That which has stood in the
pitcher over night is not fit for coffee
water in the morning. Impure water is
as injurious to health as impure air, and
every person should provide the means of
obtaining fresh, pure water for all do
mestic uses.

VEGETABLES N CELLARs.-The follow
exchange says that such vegetables as
beets, turnips, cabbage, etc, should never

ouently decay and cause serious Illness
This is true, If they are earelessiy thrown
in uncovered heaps on the cellar bottom,
but there is no necessity for such mis-
arrangements 4 vegetable cellar, which
should always be separate apartment
from the fruit room, and from the room
where cooked food is kept; shotid be a.
neat as a parlor, and ell vegetables should
not only be stored IN clean boxes or bar

yerized moss, which vii not only preserve
their freshness, bur prevent al bad odors.

tatoes do not need such packing, but they
should be placed in clean boxes, zentliated

ANOTHER argument against corsets. A
Mrs. whipple, of Philadelphia, in her
damage suit against street-car company,
testified that she could not hold the strap
of the crowded car in which she was rid
ing, because her stays prevented her from
doing SO. and hence, when a jolt came
she was thrown down and had her knee

Damon and Pyshias.

Yesterday morning colored youth
named Samuel Boswell, who had the
day before, together with Tom Green,
been discharged in the district court,
wherein they were charged with burg
larry, was rearrested on writ from the
county court, charging him with theft.
He was lodged in Jail to await his trial,
and had not been incarcerated many
minutes before Tom Green, his con.
federate appeared, and requested the
guards to Jock HIM up with Sam. They
explained to him that there was no
charge against him. and that they
could not put him In, but he insisted
on 1t, saying that where Sam was he
wanted to be also, and that II he
suffered 1t was his desire to suffer with
him. His wish was not eratified,
