The SissetOn Indians at Devils Lake.

Major James Mclaughlin, the United States
Indian Agent at Devils Lake, writes to Gen.
Sibley as follows: THE past year has been
marked by steady and healthy advancement of
those under my charge; and everything con-
nected with the agency is in a satisfactory con-
dition Good crops have been harvested this
year, and the wheat raised by individual owners
of farms will approximate 5000 bushels. A
grist mill has been built this fall, which is now
in operation and doing good work. There has
been nothing done npon the reservation that has
given such satisfaction and delight as this OF
having flour ground by their own mill from
wheat of their own raising; and the benefits
accruing to the most Industrious ones by this
wheat crop will be an incentive to others to in
crease the area of cultivated land next year.
Our schools have been well attended and the
progress of the pupils very satisfactory through
out the year.

A Chinese Love Story.

From the New York Sun. 20 ..
2 All Lee was q clerk in Chinese store in
iSanFrancisco, to which young white woman
from Oakland, suburb of the city, fire.
quently went to buy Eastern curiosities.
The Chinaman fell in love with her, and
sent many gifts to her house, all of which
were appropriated by the Chinese servant
who pretended to deliver them. The mes
senger. whose name was Sing, not only
stole the presents, but fabricated return
messages of the most encouraging kind.
Thus led on, the lover finally sent the fol-
lowing letter: MY name belong All Lee.

Sing kept the letter in his pocket and told
All Lee that Mary desired him to call that
night. The upshot was that while prowling

THE decline of American. shipping is still
a fruitful topic of discussion, but no reme-
dies are proposed which seem to be accept
able. The facts regarding the decline are
certainly discouraging. Only twenty three
ships and barks and sailing vessels were
built in the United States last year. Dur
ing the past five years Great Britain has
built 1900, 900 tons of iron ships, against
our 100000 tons. British tonnage entering
American ports has increased since 1856 by
100000; American has decreased 1000
tons. In 1860 sixty six per cent Of Ameri-
can trade was done in American vessels.
Now only seventeen per cent is carried by
Americans. The ship building interest,
small as it has become, seems to be all-
powerful in preventing such legislation as
seems to be demanded.

MILWAUKEE, still maintains the distinc-
tion of making the best lager beer in the
world. The amount manufactured in 1880
was 800. 900 barrels, IA very large increase
over any previous year, and it is estimated
that 600, 600 will be manufactured in 1881.
The Best" company over 800, 600 barrels,
an increase of 81, 900 over 1880. The larger
companies use 100000 tons of ice, that is
stored at an expense of sixty cents per ton.
Chicago drinks more of this beer than Mil
waukee. and it has become so famous that
it is found in every large city in the United
States, and large quantities of it are bottled
for the export trade.

authorities. An investigation of the Onon-

state prisoners are incarcerated for crimes
not punishable by imprisonment at Au-

sensation owing to the disclosure of fearful
cruelties to prisoners. All manner Of in

indicated, by the subsidence Of rivers
and lakes, the drying up of marshes,
Dogs, and brooks the disappearance of
springs. and the gr6ater d8pth required
to reach water in wells, all indicate
that some other means must soon be
resorted to for the purpose Of supply
ing, g,farms in the west with water for
thesuse' Of the household and for stock,
Considerable has already been accom-
plished toward supplying large farms,
eepecially lyathose devoted to dairylng,
with water obtained from artesian
wells, or raised from ordinary wells by
wind power. very little, however, has
been done toward supplying water to
farms by cooperative effort. This meth
cd is now ado pied, not only In all con-
siderable cities, but in many large
townss 1t results in supplying the in.
habitants with better water than can be
obtained from ordinary wells, and in
furnishing it In larger quantities and
at smaller expense. 1t also saves all
the labor Of raising water, which is
considerable even If pumps OF the best
construction be employed. 1t affords
a supply which is not conditioned on
the state of a particular we'll, or the
means OF raising Its contents.
The expense Of conveying water in
pipes Of wood or iron laid under ground
is much smaller than most person sup
pose. In majority of cases farmer
can purchase and lay pipe across his
premises for half the sum it will cost to
dig the wells he requires, supply them
with pumps, and keep them IN repair.
Once obtained and put in position they
will ordinarily last a lifetime. When
there is an artcsian we'll in the vicinity
the proprietor Of it is generally entire
ly willing to dispose of the surplus
water it affords, and which is often
burden to him. Where there Is a run
ing ST. cam the water in 1t may be
raised to bc Il considerable elevation
by means of a hydraulic ram. Water
may be raised from Il lake, river, or
stream lya SINGLE windmill In suffi
cient quantities to supply a d,zen
farms. Not untrtquently there are
splings on hili-sides from which wa
ter may be conveyed 10 several farms
in tho vicinity. Spring water Is ordi-
IariIy of me- st excellent quality for
drinking and for dairy purposes. 1t
may be TOO hard TO employ Tor wash

able TOR stock.

STARCH PoLIsu.-rhe old receipt Of

candle is not nearly so good, III tho
opinion Of an experienced lnundress,
Is much cheaper plan. She uses
mutton suct Instead Of wax; 1t makes
the starch iirmer. Before roasting or
boiling your joint of mutton, cut Off
whatever suct you want from it.
'Rcndcr' it in tin CUP and set it
aside In jar; 1t VIII keep six months
or longer. The fat about tho kidney
In hind quarter Is the tirmest and
best. Whon you want thick starch for
collars and shirt hossoms, take four
tablespoOniuls Of starch to ono quart
Of water, and piece Of tho clear suet
about tho size of walnut. This
makes good quart Of starch.
