FRO gressive Indians.

The Indiana Of the Swinomish reser.
walton have made many improvements
in the last three years. Four hundred
acres Of land have been dikcd and 586
rods Of dixie constructed. including -four
large dams. About 3S4 rods 81 this dixie
have been fenced. A ditch 235 rods in
length, four feet wide and three feet
deep thoroughly draips the place. On
this land about forty-three acres have
been sown. All this work WAS done ex.
clusively by the Indians. The Indians
who assisted IN building the dikes are
the only ones who have any claim to
the lands SO diked. and every man that
worked was allotted land in proportion
to the amount Of work performed. Be-
side the tide lands mentioned above,
there are under fence and partially cul-
tivated about fifty acres Of uplands, up.
on which vegetables have been grown to
quite an extent. In addition TO agricul.
tural pursuits this tribe has taken not q
little interest in stock raising, furnish
ing cordwood 10 the steamers and in
fishing. There are about $50 persons in
all, Of whom fifty two are heads of fam
lilies, the latter having located lands
ranging from forty to 100 acres. Taco.

The introduction of tte electric light
has not hurt the gas iylerest. rather it
has led to an increased consumption of
gas. It has certainlycreated demand
for more light, and people whose eyes
have been dszzled bf the glare Of the
electric, light use gs more freely and
extrsgavantly than they ever did before.
There was never more gas consumed in
New York than now and the same may
be said of other large cities In the coun-

Hsw many women would be glad t.
know this way Of keeping the sweetness
Of roses about them all the year'
Well, take rose leaves-the more the
better--and with an iron mortar nnc
pestle, like apothscaries use, pound and
mash them until they are Of the consis
tency OF putty or paste. The mixture
will turn brown and look uninviting
but the good Is all there. Now, thu
woman who tsld rs this, made her past
into beads, thus: Take thimble and
press it full Of the paste-this admit
the uniformity Of the size; take u out o.
the thimble and roll it between YOU
hands until it is firm little round mar
BILE, then give 1t roll one way which
will make it little bit long. Then 20,
have paper Of pins near you, and sticl
q pin iengthwise through the bead, jus
far enough through 80 that you can sticl
the point of the pin into a cushion OF
the dQs Of something. About fifty O
these will make single string Of beads
one hundred will be enough for doubl,
string. Give them plenty Of time to dry
and then string them. They will moi
be much larger than the berries Of dog
wood (cornus Inascula).
But II you do not care for the strune
beads. put the thimblefuli In little thir
cakes and dry them on plates in the
wind or sunshine, and when you pul
them into drawers, boxes or trunks
keep them in small netting bags. Thed
will be - fragrant in the years to com
- st first. III
Now il you cannot accumulate ros
leaves very fast you can let the leays
wilt or partially dry, and save TIM
until you have quantity on hand FOR
. better way we have found, is to ufke
the paste and let it stand until yoyare
ready to make more. 1t will Qrowiuite
black, but "the scent of the rose will
cling to it still"
We never experimental some other
women may do that-but we havi often
thought that some other fragrsntowers
or leaves, such as do not lose tbir per.
fums when crushed, would be cry nice
to make up the same way AM for the
same purpose. Any ingeniou girl can
find . substitute for the iron Mortar and
pestle, as such things are Mt common
IN the equipments of q household,
though they are Of great service and
world be called into frequslt use If they
were ct hand. --Arthur's Magazine.

A young German servant girl who
came to this country short time ago
and secured employment in q family in
