sagacity in issuing an appeal to the
people of the United States for SYM

view Of efforts like that in which he is
engaged and desire 10 see them con-
Quoted on humane principles, with a
tremendous racket and little real
scalding or hurting people. If they
can drive the industrious and useful
classes of residents all down into Mon
tana and Dakota, and keep that coun-
try for Indians. half-breeds and Riels,
the general and ultimate good will be
subserved. If there are individuals
in the states or territories who are
fond of the sort of adventure furnished
up there no objection will be raised to
their going. A good many of those
who find il such slow work getting
office at Washington could no doubt
acquire titles and honors among the
insurrectionists of varied color north
of the line. But the people or gov
eminent Of this country are not
eager to take a hand on either side.
The cause of the rebels may be as just
and their grievances as great as in the
case of the revolutionary fathers in
this country, but there are people all
over the world who have wrongs that
ought to be righted. That, however,
is not the special mission of the
United States. They would have
constant employment if their phil
anthropy had that breadth. 'If SYM
pathy will do General Riel and his
cohorts good any reasonable demands
will be met, and peaceful homes will

THE order of Secretary Endicott
that all employees of the War De-
partment at Washington must pay
their debts or lose their places, will
fall very hard on class Of patriots
who have heretofore entered into
financial obligation with conspicuous
disregard OF their ability to meet them
when due. Getting money out of the
department clerk at Washington has
formerly been very similar to the pro-
cess Of extracting blood from New
Jersey turuip. Under the new adj
ministration 1t seems that creditors
are to have some rights which even a
department clerk is bound to respect.

1T Is bad enough to send the mex
perienced Canadian militia, composed
largely of band box soldiers and city
dudes, to the wilds of the west TO
drink alkali water and suffer colds and
hardships, even if well armed, but it
is shameful and scandalous to equip
them with ammunition left over from
the last war, fifteen years ago, and
only three out of fifty effective. In a
fight with half-breeds and Indians it
would be inconvenient TO have to stop
and load fifteen or more times before
the Indian coming for the soldiers
scalp could be made to bite the ground
or even to wait for bonfire to burn

court-martialed for sending them out

Dinersnt Methods Of Warming Rooms.
Ivan vioczosski, Vienna,
In England the ordinary method of
warming Il room is by means of an open
fire. It's very cheerful way, certainly,
but very deal because not half the
warmth given out by the burning coal
is radiated into the room. II all goes
up the chimney. In France there's an
improvement by using stoves. Here in
Austria it is still better. The stoves ara
large, about six feet high and two
broad, but have a small place for the
fire. So, when the fire is kindled, heat
is given out to the sides of the stove he
fore it can lose itself in the Hue.
In Russia, the stoves have a number
of tlues, usually six, up the first Of
which the heated smoke goes down the
second, up the third, etc, so that by
the time it reaches the chimney it is al
most cold. A handf Of wood warns
the stove enough to heat a large room
When the fire is burnt out the comma.
nications to the chimney and room are
cut off, then the stove slowly radiates
its accumulated heat into the room.
Where am writing this letter is large,

and forty eight square feet Of surface.
