From Washington

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that tho OBJ
iect which George Jacob Holyoake came to
this country from England to further--that
of obtaining a national guide-book compiled
from materials collected by the government,
revised under its authority and published in
it's name-is steadily advancing. In Mr..
Holyoake's late interview with Mr.. Freling-
huysen, the secretary assumed the desira-
bility of such work and considered alone
the devices by which it could be rem
dered practicable. The object of the

GENERAL WRIanT, chief of engineers, in
his annual report, says that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 should be made for examina-

no special appropriation. The estimate for
the amount required for military surveys,
reconnoisances and surveys of military
reservations by the engineer officers attached
to the various headquarters of military
divisions and departments, is $4,000, being
an average of 5000 for each of the nine
military divisions and departments west of

A LARGE amount of unfinished business
will come before the second session of the
Forty-seventh Congress. During the last
session of Congress there were introduced
in the Senate 2,2S3 bills and joint resolutions
and in the House of Representatives 7,lSz
bills and joint resolutions. About SO0propo-
sitions were reported favorably to the House
of Representatives and about 300 bills and
joint resolutions passed that body. The Sen.
ate passed nearly 800 bills and joint resolu
tions, but of these only about 800 found theii
place on the statute book.

The Indians of Alaska.

The number of aborigines in Alaska
says correspondent, is variously esti-
mated from 10000 to $4,000. With
regard to those in the interior there is
very meager accurate knowledge. The
obstacles in the way of very thorough
understanding of the nature Of this
portion of the American possessions,
and the number and character of the
natives, are not great, either from the
cost of outfitting an exploring party,
danger from the natives, or any other
terrors incident to such an undertake
ing. In their handiwoik, especially as
exhibited by carvings in wood, stone
and slate, their ornaments and shapely.
canoes, they display unlooked-for skill
Blanketed natives, with painted or
hideously besmeared face, were to be
seen. From a condition offensive to
the nostrils and this scanty mode
of dress, there are various stages
of approach to cleanliness and a
civilized style of clothing; some, in
deed, make very presentable ppear-
ance. Sometimes Indians w re OBJ
served affectionately fondling their
children, and the men often carrying
their offspring in their arms with all
the apparent pride Of their white
brethren. The women generally do
the trading and bargaining in dispos-
ing Of furs and in other transactions.
When an Indian offers fur for sale,
and the price has been arranged be-
tween him and the purchaser, his
kloochman, or squaw, can veto the
transaction. and has to be consulted
before the trade becomes final. The
Indians are never in hurry to con-
cludc bargain, those at distance
often remaining at a trading post for
weeks holding out for most trihing
advance on the price offered.
They are shrewd traders and
the amounts agreed upon for the
different kinds of furs seem very high
to an uninitiatcd on-looker. The pur-
chasers would lose money on the goods
if they paid coin. The Indians shrewd.
ness manifests itself only in securing
the promise of high price. They dc
not want money, but desire articles
out of the store. Their ignorance OF
what this costs the dealer leaves then
Il prey to the most outrageous i'm
position from the more intelligent but
less honest white trailicker. Thes,
Indians are industrious, willingly EN-
bracing the opportunities of earning
money by working for it. If they ar,
not a doomed race by reason of liquol
and contact with depraved whites pre-
venting their reclamation from hea
thenism, in the coming development
of the resources of Alaska they vii
be valuable factor as "hewers o
wood and drawers of water" The,
are quick to. learn what is required o
them.

A Plucky Soldier.

Private Hinkson, reserve man be-
longing to the royal Irish brigade at
tached to the Gordon Highlanders,
bayoneted seven men during the charge
of Tel-el-Kebir, and was afterward at
tackled by three Egyptian officers. A
bullet was sent through his right cheek
and passed out Of his neck, but he sue
ceeded in bayoneting two. Before he
killed the third another bullet struck
him almost in the same place, opening
the first wound and following a similar
direction.
While lying on the ground he was
fired at again by an Arab, but was res
cued by two men of the army service
corps, with only slight additional in
jury to one of his fingers. He suffered
from lockjaw for three days, and how
he recovered is marvellous. 1t is
thought that he will receive a distin-
guished conduct medal.--London Tele-

En- shiOn Notes.

are the rage for millinery use.
Arabesques of satouche are the
leading jacket and wrap garnitures.
Royal cardinal jackets are very fash
ionably worn over black skirts of silk,
satin OF cashmere.
Amazone cloths embroidered or
adorned with arabesques of satouche
compose the favorite trimmings of
autumn promenade costumes.
Shaggy goods of all kinds in brown,
fawn color, dark green, dark blue, or
in plaids of heather mixtures are the
most fashionable of all utility fabrics
The coming of the Jersey Lily"
has largely increased the sale in Amer
lea of the jersey bodice, whose popu-
larity she long ago inaugurated in
London.
Derbies and other masculine-looling
hats appear on the heads of many
pretty and well-dressed young women
along the fashionable promenades of
New York.
Standing collars of velvet, fastening
behind, have falls or frills of Oriental
lace below them, while the collars rest
upon the neck without any relief of
white or cream lace above them.
The newest linen collars are narrow
bands fastening with a simulated slide
or buckle of linen. through which a
linen tongue is passed, and fastened
afterward with small gilt screw but
ton.
Jersey waists shaped to the figure
are finished at the bottom with high
scarf draperies, and sometimes with Il
box plating set on high, with the bot
tom of the jersey cut into points back
and front.
A dark, dull green velvet train and
bodice of the same are considered the
correct wear with pale green silk or
satin front breadths, paniers and plas-
irons forming the other parts of an
evening toilet.
Dorsay redingotes are imported,
made of black Lyons velvet and
trimmed with magnificent applique
work of black embroidery and jet.
They are fastened down the front
from the throat to the bottom of the
skirt with costly cOrdelieres and
handsome cut jet buttons in medallion
designs.
The huge bridal bouquet of white
roses is now frequently replaced by a
large fan made of gardenais, white
star flowers and stephanOtis. This fan
depends from the right side by gold
or silver chatelaine, but is raised and
carried in the hand in place of the
bouquet as the bride enters church or
parlOr.
Some of the most expensive wraps
are simply long clOaks of embossed
plush or velvet or plain fabrics, with
borders of priceless fur or needlework
passementerie, with each raised leaf
and flower worth the price of yard
of ordinary trimming, while other gar
ments are so complicated in cOnstruc-
tion and so elaborately garnished as to
be almost as indescribable as some OF
the intricate costumes with plaitings
puffs, plastrons, Vandykes and other
decorative features.

Taking the United States through

delphfa Press, where marriage engage.
ments are so formally announced and
looked upon as such solemn obligations
as in Philadelphia. Long engagements
also prevail here to considerable eX-
tent, and they are looked upon as good
things, because they familiarize young
people with each other and give them
a chance to test their congenialty and
escape in time if they find they do not
agree.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

A good way to cook satisfy is to first par
boil it, then dip it in beaten egg and
cracker crumbs, and fry it in hot lard, or
in lard and butter mixed.
Before putting the pork with beans,
when about to have pork and beans, pour
boiling water over it. This is necessary to
remove all traces of the brine rinsing in
cold water is not sufficient.
1t is fact that little, just perceptible
cracks in earthenware will disappear, and
the dish look as good as new, if it is boiled
in milk. This has been tried on small
msjolica pitcher with success.
A slice or quarter of lemon should be
put in the tinger-bowl, and then fill the
bowl half full of water. The acid helps
to cleanse the finger and takes away any
greasy feeling which one seems to have af-
ter dinner, even if he has touched nothing
but his knife and fork.
The water or syrup in which prunes are
cooked should always be strained. 1t will
not look clear, or even clean, unless it is.
After washing the prunes in two or three
waters let them soak all night. They will
then require cooking only few minutes,
and will retain their distinctive flavor
better.
The best sandwiches are made of thin
slices Of bread buttered and folded, with
cold boiled ham between them. Chop the
ham fine, and season it with salt, pepper
and mustard. If the lean meat alone is
used little melted butter may be added.
Cheese sandwiches are very nice; the
cheese may be grated or cut in thin slices.
Mustard is added or not as you please.
Wine whey is pleasant and nourishihg
drink for an invalid. Sweeten half pint
of milk to suit the sick ones taste. Let
this come to the boiling point, then pour in
a wine glass and half of sherry wine.
Let it stand on the stove to simmer until
a curd forms then strain it through a
muslin cloth laid in colander. Let it
stand until it is cool. Serve in pretty
cup, and on the saucer lay two or three
waters, and the probability is that they
will be eaten with relish.
Beef loaf, to be eaten cold for supper, is
easily made. To three pounds of round
steak chopped fine add one cup of rolled
crackers, two eggs, one teaspoonful of pep
per, one tablespoonful of salt, one cup of
sweet milk, and piece of butter the size
of an egg; make cloth bag, and after
mixing thoroughly so that the seasoning is
evenly distributed, put in the bag Bake
for three hours; lay it on tin plate in the
dripping-pan, put water in the pan and
baste occasionally at first

could not be eaten. To quart of cranber-
ries allow one quart Of water and nearly
pound of sugar; let the water heat while
you wash and look over the berries; drop
them in the hot water and let them cook
for twenty minutes then add the sugar
after it is dissolved let the sauce come to q

cooks STRAIN the juice to make it clear. If
cranberries are to be eaten with game,
