Marketing Mutton.

1t is general complaint in the w eStern
States that butchers in country towns
dislike to slaughter sheep and to sell
mutton. Some discourage the use of it
by keeping a poor quality and by asking
more for it than they do for beef. Posi-
bly, beef cuts to better advantage and
results in smaller loss to retailers. The
pieces containing much bone can be
disposed of for making soup and the
cuts unsuitable for steaks and .roasts can
be cured in brine and sold for corned
beef, for which there is always a de-
mand. 1t is likely that Western butch
ers are troubled in disposing of the
poorer cuts of mutton. Corned mutton
is not as salable as corned beef In
some places there would be no demand
for it till one was created. Still mutton
is better meat for preserving in brine
than beef. Those who have been ac-
customed to eating cOrned mutton gen
orally prefer it to corned beef For
boiling with vegetables it is excellent.
1t is very delicious when cured in salt
and smoked There is complaint
among English farmers that butchers
pay less for beef, but insist in asking
more for it. They all keep mutton,
however, as the demand for it is con-
stantly increasing in that country. The
demand for it would steadily increase in
the United States were sheep that pro-
duce better mutton generally kept, were
as much pains taken in fattening sheep
as there is in fattening steers, and cooks
were trained to cook the meat properly.
Many regard mutton as inferior to
beef, and apparently butchers desire to
keep up the prejudice against it. In
Canada, where excellent mutton sheep
are kept, and where they are we'll fat
tened, the demand for mutton is in.
creasing.
Western cattle-raisers would do well
to use their influence in creating de-
mand for mutton. They can do this by
making the production of mutton rather
than wool the leading object in keeping
sheep. They should furnish local
butchers with well-fattened sheep of
the breeds that furnish the finest NUT
ton. If they cannot make satisfactory
arrangement with butchers they must
slaughter their own sheep and find
market for the mutton. 1t will not be
found difficult to find customers who
will take u quarter of mutton every
week. Mutton is a better meat for most
farmers than beef, as it can be kept
longer.- Chicago Times.

Matrimonial Markets.

The tendency of modern times is for
a man who is thinking of taking wife to
ask not what she is, but what she has. In
this important detail widows generally
possess the advantage. Very few are
left totally unprovided for-the skull
and crossbones have generally been gilt
for them, even if thinly; for in every
class of life man of common decency
tries to do at least something for his
widow, if he is doomed to have One-or
to leave one would perhaps be the more
accurate expression. The old chivalrous
days when lovesick swains made sOnnets
to their mistress eyebrows, and were
ready to face any straits of poverty or
danger, provided only they won the
heart of some fair maid, have long since
passed away; the majority of men do
not appreciate the idylic beauty of love
in cottage, and strive to add by mar
riage to their comfort and position,
slightly, for the sake of the woman they
love.
They have keen eye for bargains,
and if they can only secure one in the
matrimonial market they have no obiec-
ton to its being secondhand. 1t Is
comparatively exceptional for a young
girl to bring a substantial dowry to her
husband; she may be an heiress, but the
waiting may be long.
But in the case of well-to-do widow
the pecuniary advantages for her second
husband are immediate and tangible.
She is mistress of her fortune, and
the lucky winner of her secondhand
affections can enter at once into the en-
joyment of the solid possessions which
enhance the attractions of his inamo-
rata, or, it may be, atone for her short
comings. Widows are always consid-
cred excellent game by fortune hunters
for this reason, and the majority of
widows who remarry find their ro-
mances end very prosaically. For. be
it said, it is often marriage of entire
affection which is made by widow

Length of Our Lives Increasing.

At recent international health exhi-
bition held in London, Sir James Paget
delivered an address before the associa-
ton, the Prince of Wales being present.
The learned physician asserted that
people live longer than formerly, and
that less sickness prevails among the
mass Of people, and he then gives the
following reasons for the decrease Of
mortality during the last few years:
''There is less from intemperance,
less from immortality; we have better.
cheaper and more various food; far
more and cheaper clothing; far more
and healthier recreations. We have on
the whole better houses and better
drains, better water and air, and better
ways of using them. The care and skill
with which the sick are treated in hos
pitfalls, intirmaries, and even in private
houses are far greater than they were;
the improvement and extension of nurs-
ing are more than can be described; the
care which the rich bestow on the poor,
whom they visit in their own homes, is
every day saving health and life; and
even more effectual than any of these is
the work done by the medical officers
of health and all the sanitary authori-
ties now active and influential in every
part of the kingdom. But we want, ="
adds the lecturer in closing, '.more am
bition for health-a personal ambition
for renown in health as keen as is that
for bravery or for beauty, or for sue
cess in our athletic games and field
sports.-Scienttfc american.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The best way to get the full benefit
from the rains is to keep the surface soil
fine and loose.
When you save your peas for next
years seed pack them in perfectly dry
dirt, and they will be less liable to at
tacks of insects.
To remove iron mold from linen,
wash the spots in strong solution OF
cream of tartar and water. Repeat if
necessary, and dry in the sun.--Er-

A Californian says he cleared his
poultry house of mites, with which it
was overrun, by sprinkling the inside
with the water in which the potatoes for
the household dinner had been boiled,
and that two applications were sufficient.
Before beginning to iron, sprinkle
the table plentifully with water and lay
on the ironing blanket. This will hold
it firmly in place anS prevent all wrink-
ling and showing about. Never try to
iron with blanket having wrinkles or
punches. Detroit Post.
Let every farmer study how he can
best take care of the cut grain, and then
resolve that as fast as it is tit for the
stack or NOW it shall be put there. So
much grain is lost every year by care
lessness or delay that we feel like urging
men to do their duty.-Prairie Farmer.
Custom sanctions the use of fruit at
breakfast, and physicians are recon-
mending green-apple sauce as being
cooling and laxative. However this may
be, any one who has followed the Gus
tom of having fresh fruit at breakfast
will speak heartily of its excellent ef-
fects.-Boston Globe.
The barns where clover hay is
stored should have tight floors, be shut
tight and kept tight. No greater mis-
take can be made than to try to air the
hay mows. Such course drives all the
heat and moisture TO the center, and
accomplishes the very result it is in
tended to prevent Cleveland Leader.
An exchange recommends farmers
who have a wood-lot to keep stock of
boards, planks and posts sawed and
seasoned ready for use. Many farmers
for lack of little forethought are
obliged to buy at high prices the lumber
which they need to use, and which
might Just as well be cut from their own
timber lot.
--Half-Ham Pudding: Beat four
tablespoons of butter to cream with a

Professor Arnold says: "a slight
jarring of vessels in which milk is set
for cream to rise rather facilitates than
hinders the ascent of the cream, and
makes it more dense and compact with

Collegiate Indians.

A strong sentiment demands the edu-
cation of the Indians. Men of the high
type of General Armstrong, of Hamp-
ton, and United States Commissioner of
Education Eaton give their best efforts
to it. The addresses on the subject of
Indian education before the convention
of teachers now sitting at Madison are
listened to with evident interest. This
sentiment is strongest among those who.
like the devotees of the cause of the no.
BILE red men in Boston, have never seen
an Indian and have only literary ac-
quaintance with him, but that is moth
ing. All sentiments act in this way.
1t was not the men who were near the
negro who placed his emancipation even
above the preservation of the Union.
Needy people, like prophets, almost
always fail to receive due consideration
in their own neighborhood.
But there are good many kinds of
education the Indians need quite as much
as ''book larnin.''' If our duty to edu-
cate the Indians means that me must
accept them as our wards and teach
them to make the best progressive use
of their faculties there would be few to
deny so palpable a truth. But if it
means that to have educated Indians
we must have collegiate Indians we de-
muir. 1t is by no means constant
truth that the collegiate white man is
an educated man. Too often the col
legiate training with its usless Greek
stuffing proves to have been misdirec-
ton of time, effort and habit, and to
have untitled the white boy for any use
full work in the world. There seems to
us not little danger that a similar mis-
take may be made in the case Of
Indian education. The thing these saw
ages need least is what can be given
them out of books. We do not begin
the education Of our children with books
merely. Indians are adult children,
and require moral, physical and indus
trial influences much more than literary
ones, including Greek
Education implies character as we'll
as letters. 1t is one Of the signs of the
times that four thousand teachers
are sufficiently interested in the
progress of n their guild and the
improvement of the greatest 4 of
the arts-that of molding. and painting
and decorating the mind of the young
to meet in such convention as that
now being held at Madison. If the pro-
,ceedings of these teachers evidence any
lack of grasp Of the full range of their
tasl, it is the absence of an adequate
recognition of those elements OF educa-
ton which lie outside of primers. and
grammars, and handbooks Of science,
and dictionaries. Nowhere are the as
poets of education OF more consequence
than in the work Of aEaking the DOR
Malt mental and moral activities ps

our grown-up scholars-the Western


Indians.
1t is no doubt pretty thing to hear
Indians sing America in Dakota dia-
lect, and perfom other tricks, but teach
ing few Indians to do such things
to wallow in aboriginal dirt and slide
down a descending scale of whisky and
acquired vice is not educating the In
dians. Putting few score Indians in
colleges and teaching them Greek,
mathematics, and bellies lettres that put
them out of relations with their fellow
tribesmen. while not putting them in
relations with the whites, is not edr-
eating the Indians. The real educa-
ton of the Indian must be accom-
plished by processes entirely distinct
from all these. Education for the In
dians should be Indian, not Caucasian.
1t must begin at the bottom. The first
thing to be given them is physical
basis. We who have taken their lands
and have herded them in reservations or
driven them into the wilderness to wait
for the unhappy day when we want that
too, must, before we do anything else to
civilize or educate them, give them a
way of supporting themselves.
Our Indian policy now is to make the
Indians paupers or refugees. The first
and most important part of Indian edu-
cation should be to give every Indian
family piece of land, stock, implements,
seed, and compel them to earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow as
farmers, herdsmen, ranchmen, or what
not To teach them to work is more
necessary in this stage of development
than to teach them dead languages.
An equally valuable lesson would be to
teach them good faith, honesty and
truthfulness by such simple object
lesson as the maintenance by our Gov
ernment of its plighted faith with them
in its Indian treaties. Such a breach
of our obligations as the violation of the
treaty rights of the Indians in the In
dian Territories by the recent charter
ing of two railroads to run through
their lands contrary to the solemn
pledges made by our Government un
does more Indian civilization in trce
than years of the noble work at Hamp
ton and Carlisle can build up.
The place to educate the Indians is
among the Indians Those whose en-
thusiasm makes them willing to devote
their energies and their lives to this
gentle philanthropy should do as the
French Missionary laborers did at the
beginning of our contact with these
helpless victims of our superior strength
and wit. They went to live among the
Indians, and taught them how to SOW
and reap and adapt such of the arts of
richer civilization as were applicable
to their tumble needs. 1t will be many
generations before collegiate Indians
are of any use to themselves OF to any
one else.--ChicQ0O Tribune
