PREPARATIONS are under way for talk
ing census of the Indians. This has
never been thoroughly done, but the
whole number in the United States and
Territories in 1871, including 10000 in
Alaska, was estimated by the Indian
Bureau at 100000. Whether they have
since increased or diminished in number
is mot entirely certain. It is probable
that the wild Indians have decreased
considerably, but the more-civilized
tribes have increased. The Cherokees,
for instance, increased from II 900 in
1922 to IA, $50 in 1871. A complete CEN

as can be made, for there will be many

IT is q curious fact that the locomo-
tive which, with its train, went down
with the Tay bridge, is now running
regularly between Glasgow and Edin-
burgh. For three months it laid in the
bottom of the Tay, but when it was
brought up it was found uniniured, ex-
cept the funnel, dome, and weather
board, which had to be renewed. She
ran on her own wheels to Glasgow Just

Strange feelings might arise in the trav-
elor's breast on learning that his train
was drawn by that engine, but there is

THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ON THE
GLOBE,

GLOBE.
Nobody's reputation and honor are
safe in this cynical age. For the last ten
years Mount Everest, in Nepaul, has
been considered the highest mountain
in the world, reaching the respectable
height of 29,002 feet. Dhawalagirl and
Kuchinjinga, in the same range, with
about $4,000 feet each, shared this hon.
or between them until Maj. Everest, of
the Bengal Engineers, discovered their
big brother. Before they were meas
ured Humboldt thought some points in
the South American Andes reached the
highest altitude on our globe. And
now comes Capt. j. A. Lawson, who
has discovered in tho Httle-known island
of New Guinea peak that beats them
oil, which he has appropriately called
Mount Hercules, and fixed its elevation
at 32, 1856 feet above the level of the sea.

EEARNIHG TO COOK.

A judicious mother will SO manage
her daughters that even at the early age
OF 13 they can, in an emergency, pre-
pare a meal of victuals." A thorough
domestic training is very useful to
girl. At school, she always has teach
er or fellow-pupil at hand to help her
over hard places, but if she is set to
make batch of bread herself, and at
tends to it from the time the sponge is
set till the loaves are taken, sweet, fra
grant, golden-brown, from the oven, she
learns meantime chemistry, caloric, per-
severance, delicate manipulation, self
reliance, neatncss, and acquires skill
and the habit of carrying her work in
her mind, as one act of neglect or for
getfulness ut any point of the process
may spoil the whole. Because some un-
wise mothers do not see in the stated
and slIillful performance by their dnugh-
ters Of household services q certain and
valuable culture which cannot be ac-
quired at school, they are willing to do
themselves what in justice and kindness
to their daughters they should require
of them. Girls, left to their own de-
vices, waste great deal of time which
might be utilized to their advantage.
A girl who can climb trees, who can
dance hours without fatigue, or jump
rope Ga very dangerous pastime, by the
way), who can take long walks, who can
skate and row-can also sweep, and
scrub, and make bread, and wash, and
iron, if she is encouraged to do so.
These are the accomplishments she
must possess in order to make happy
home, though she may have half dozen
servants at her call. Those who havo
sufficient curiosity to investigate this
subject will find that many of the most
famous women in literature and art were
as skillful in those accomplishments con-
sidered specially as they were with the
pen or pencil or chisel. In training
girls to be useful, and ready to meet any
emergency, mothers confer upon them
an inestimable blessing.

Ex-SpEAKER CoLFAx furnishes the
following "Reminiscences of the late Fer
nando Wood Between himself and Mr..
Wood there existed pleasant personal
relations, although the latter had placed
himself on the furthest plank of oppo-
sition to the war and war legislation.
One day in debate, while denouncing a
proposed measure of reconstruction, Mr..
Wood said "This would justly be re-
garded as one of the most infamous acts
Of this most infamous Congress" He
paused at these words, evidently expect
ing what Immediately followed. Hon.
Robert Scbenck demanded that the
words be taken down, and introduced a
resolution that Mr.. Wood be censured
at the bar of the House for his remarks.
The expression was evidently q studied
one, and Mr.. Wood awaited the result
with the spirit and air of an expectant
martyr. He hoped to make political
capital in his district by wearing the
decoration of a vigorous personal cen
sure from the Speaker OF the Republic
can Congress. A few days before Mr.
Colfax had been reading an English
parliamentary work, in which there was
speech of Speaker of the House of
Commons in censure of a member for
using words derogatory of Parliament.
While the yeas and nays were being
taken on the resolution Mr.. Colfax
thought of this speech, and, sending his
secretary to the library, he had the vol
ume in his hands by the time Mr.. Wood
had presented himself ut the bar Much
to Mr.. Woods surprise, instead of the
political lectureShe had anticipated, Mr..
Colfax read this British speech, which
was to the effect that, "While much
could be pardoned for the heat of politi-
cal debate and party difference, there
was no excuse or extenuation for per-
son who deliberately smirched the char
acter and impugred the House of the
body of which he himself was mem
ber." Mr.. Colfax added to the English
Speakers address the expression that
"no words of mine can add to the just
ness and severity of this censure," and
dismissed Mr.. Wood to his seat. Re
turning to his place on the floor, the
New York member said Z" Mr.. Speaker,
may + proceed ?" and, leave being given,
he continued his speech, beginning, "As
i was saying" but was careful not to
repeat the Objectionable phrase.

THERE lies in the treasury at Wash
ington to-day 81, 100000 of unclaimed
interest on Government bonds. This
sum is getting larger every day. This
seems strange, but it is true. This vast
sum of money, or much of it, can be
drawn by simply applying for it by who
ever is entitled to it and has the regis
tered bond on which the interest is due
and not paid. There are thousands of
persons who have bought bonds and not
knowing how to get the interest on
them prefer to lose the same rather than
TO expose the fact that they have the
bonds. Others have interest due them
and actually forget the fact, and it hes
in the treasury vaults waiting for them
TO apply for it. Should one of the clerks
of the bond division inform person to
whom interest is due of the fact. and the
same be discovered, he would be instant
ly discharged.

CINCINNATI people are wondering over
a horse which is quite destitute of hair.
He has no name whatever and his tail
consists only of hairless stump, and
even inside the ears no hair can be found.
The horse has not been shaved, for the
closest examination fails to discover the
slightest sign of bristle on any part of
the body. The horse is years old, was
never sick, and until year ago was
like others of his kind. Physicians who
have examined him can discover no
signs of disease, and are at loss to ac-
count for the case.

Insect TOrmentOrs.

Edmund Burke saw nothing but evil
in the French Revolution. He expressed
his adherence of its noisy leaders by
likening them to grasshoppers, "the
little shriveled, meager, hopping, though
loud and troublesome, insects Of the
hour"
If the orator had known the insects of
Morocco, they would have furnished him
with more graphic symbols of detesta-
ton. These "beasties," as an English
traveller calls them, are the plague Of
the land.
There is flying bug that smells abom-
inably. Its propensity is to drown itself
in an uncovered goblet or tea-cup, caus-
ing the liquid at once to smell so offen-
sively as to be unfit to drink. AS there
are thousands of these insects flying
about, the travellers nose often obliges
him to throw away the cup of coffee or
the goblet of water he fam would have
drunk.
Huge grasshoppers, while he was
lying in bed, used to perch themselves
five or six feet away, and take flying
leap at his nose. Caterpiilars suspend
ed themselves over his head, while loath-
some spiders wove webs in the tent.
Ants, gnats, mosquitoes, feas and little
red spiders ran over his body, driving
him almost frantic. One morning, as
his life was miserable from these pests,
he discovered centipede, two and a
half inches long, wandering about on
the bed, seeking something on which to
stick. After he had killed il, his native
servant told him that the Insects habit
was to fix his hundred claws in the vic
time flesh, and then let his body drop
off. Each claw made q fostering wound.

der it the buyer, not the seller, is
obliged to procure license. Objection
is made to the plan on account of the
great number of licenses that would
