GENERAL NOTES.

The same general complaint comes
from nearly every state of waste of
time and general inefiiciency in the
Legislatures. The sessions are spent in
inconsequential discussions and bicker-
ings, and the result is that necessary
business is delayed and little or nothing
accomplished. The Chicago Inter-
Ocean, commenting on this, says that
There must be reform, or popular
rebuke. SO singing and overwhelming
as to be little, if any, short of political
revolution, will surely follow" Bien-
nial sessions. it was hoped, would lessen
the evil, but SO far the outcome seems
to have been less favorable than was
reasonably expected.

A delegation of Chippewa Indians
from the Red Lake agency, Mimi, headed by
the Reverend Ignatius Tomasia, are now In
Washington for the purpose Of making com
plant to the secretary OF the interior In regard
to the unauthorized cutting OF timber by white
men on their reservation. They represent that
these depredatiOns are becoming more and
more serious and extensive, and II not stopped
will utterly ruin that part OF their reservation
which Is still wooded They also wish to in
form the secretary that they are entirely salts
fled with their present land and do not wish TO
be moved. The Sioux also make complaint
that over 200 whites have invaded their terri
tory, and that 1900 more are expected to fol-
low soon. They ask that the intruders be
driven of.

FISHERIES EXHIBITION.

The opening of the Fisheries Exhi-
bition in London, on May Is, was
a brilliant affair. Although it
rained steadily throughout, the
decorations were profuse and effects
i've. Ehe whole Of the Royal
Family, except the Queen, were
present, as well rs the members of
the Cabinet, the Foreign Embassies,
and Colonial Commissioners, There
were numbers Of foreign fishing girls
present dressed In their national
costumes, and hundreds Of British
fishermen were admitted. After a
grand procersion through the courts,
the Duke of Richmond delivered an
address, and His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales then formally
opened the Exhibition, promising to
read a paper by His Royal Highness
the Duke of Edinburgh before the
Fisheries Congress. The collection
IN the Exhibition is very complete In
all respects, aud there is an unequal
led display Of life-saving apparatus,

SEVENTY BROTHERS.

The following incident, which was
related by gentleman just arrived
from the British possessions, is sufii-
GENTLY novel to entitle it to place
in our columns. 1t occurred, we are
assured, about one hundred miles
from Fort Walsh last Winter. A
band Of a Cree Indians woke up one
snowy morning to find that about u
dozen of their choicest ponies had
been taken during the night. Pur-
suit was soon organized. and within
a few hours fresh trail was found
in the snow. After following the
trail s0mO thirty miles it entered
Saskatchewan River, the animals evil
IDENTIFY heading for wooded island
in the middle of the river. Smoke
was rising from among the rocks and
trees ON the island. After some re-
iconnoitering an opening, which
seemed to be the mouth of a cave,
could be seen in the face of the rocks.
Presently single Indiana Piega.i,
the pursuers decided from his ap-
pearance--showed up in front of the
opening. He was painted and ar
rayed gaudily. Pretty SION a dog at
his feet scented the Crees and began
growing and barking. The Piegan
instantly turned ar d entered the cave.
In moment ar.other Piegan came
around the rocks aud also went in;
then anothe.r, and another, and an
other, there being few seconds be-
tween Them. The Crees lay silently
in the bushes watching and counting
until upward of fifty Piegans had
come. around the rocks and gone in
to me cave, and still they kept coming
What seemed remarkable was the
fact that all these Indians were, 10
all appearances, exactly the same
size, were dressed and painted ex-
actly alike, each carried Winchester
rife, and most remarkable of all,
each one seemed little lame IN the
left foot, limping slightly. They
were gaudy crowd, and the Cree,
counted seventy of them. THAI
seemed to be all, for no more came
AS the idea of seventy twins was n
impossibility, the superstitious Cree'
naturally concluded that the evi
spirit had something TO do with it

THE BEST DOOR TO STOP FIRE.

A number Of experiments have
been made in this country to test the
value of different materials for doors
that may be exposed to fire, from
which it appears that perhaps the
best door yet devised is one made of
wood and covered with tin. The
door is formed of solid planks, or
boards matched and fastened together
and crossing at right angle, or at
AZ degrees. There should not be
less than two thicknesses in any
door, and as many more should be
used rs the size of the opening to be
closed demands. This solid wooden
door is then to be completely covered
on every side with timed sheet iron,
all the joints being soldered as in
making tin roofs. The timed door
is supported by hangers moving on
an inclined rail or track over the
doorway, so that when free to move
it will close by its own weight. AT
the door-jamb opposite the door,
when it is open, should be wooden
casing covered on every side with
tin, and into which the door will fit
tightly when it closes, by moving on
its track, the inside of the casing
being wedge-sllaped. The casing
on the opposite side must fit the
door closely SO as to leave no cracks
at the sides of the door. TO keep
the door open small bolt is placed
on the inside of the door-jamb, the
pressure of the door keeping the
bolt in position. On the under side
of the arch or top of the door is a
wire having a joint or link in the
centre, this link being soldered with
fusible metal that will melt at l6O
deg. Fair. Just above the bolt
that holds the door open is weight
supported by wire connected with
the wire holding the fusible link.
This weight moves in guides and is
wedgc-shaped below. The threshold
of the door should be of brick or
stone to resist fire, and high enough
to keep out water in case the room
is flooded. From the reports and
experiments it appears that such a
door is thoroughly reliable, the soft
metal link parting even in the heat
of a fire in a building on the opposite
side of the street, and allowing the
weight to fall, pushing the bolt one
side and permitting the door to close.
Such wooden Uncovered doors and
window shutters. are reported to stand
unframed through severe trials when
iron doors have failed, melted, or
warped under less exposure to fire.
The door and the automatic device
for closing it are officially recon-
mended by some of the leading fire
insurance companies of this country.

LUM BIER AND BUILDING MATERIAL

zone reason" says the Northwestern
Lumbermnn, why hemlock is not more
used III the northwest, is that carpenters so
generally object TO it. IL is more disagree.
able to handle than pine, and the man who
works II hasa regard Tor his han is. IL is
harder on tools than pine, which is another
reason that the objections are filed. The
carpenters IN the eastern states, being used
TO- hemlock, will side building with ii
without grumhling, and In the western
STATES the knights OF tho plane will in time
DO compelled to handle more lumber than
they are now doing, when, IL is to be hoped
they will say less against it,
The novelty OF the week is the shippinr
OF some three trains of pine lumber from
me iratt saw.mill at Nerbens, Alabama, to
Miohlgan. This is u peculiar operation,
out IL becoming necessary. The Michigan
m'llmen have thoroughly recognized that

gan and are coming south in numbers. A

houses reaction from the activity lately
