WASHINGTON Letter.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 7,


The experiment of placing all the
Indians of the country in the charge Of
the Interior Department has been so
fruitful of disaster, that change seems
to be demanded on all sides. There is
something in the presence of an army
officer that compels the respect and re-
gard of the average Indian, and the
policy Of placing all the Indian agen-
cies in the charge Of army officers can
not but have a beneficial effect, both
upon the tribes and those with whom
they come in commercial contact.
1t may not be matter of general
information that the Agricultural De-
partment in Washington maintains
separate and distinct bureau, whose
business it is to investigate and ascer-
tain by chemical analysis the various
devices resorted to in the manufacture
of butter. At last accounts there were
scventy-six compounds of different de-
grees Of atrocity employed in this
business, with several more awaiting
chemical development. Indeed, the
article of butter has became one of
those rare substances that now only
tickles the asophagus Of the well-healed
epicure.
That architectural "what is it!' the
Pension Building, is approaching COM
pletion, and just as it is doing that, it
is discovered that the caravansery is
pest house of miasma, malaria and all
the other zymotic ailments.
The lovers of pork tenderloins,
spareribs and sausages, are greeted
with the delectable tidings from Chi
cago, by the way of an official sent
thither by the Agricultural Depart
ment, that five per centum of the hogs
received at the various stock-yards are
stocked with that death-producing rep
tile-trichina. This disease comes
from the living hogs eating the dead
ones, quality of food quite as appe-
tizing to the genuS Sus, as it is to their
cousins of the human family.
The several committees of Congress
which have been all summer the re-
cipients of the best favors in the power
of the railroads to bestow, will no
doubt at once proceed to bring the said
railroads to the terms exacted by the
people in the way of cheap transporta-
ton. There is practical way Of do
ing things, and it takes the experienced
Congressman to do it.
lhe departments have had no little
difficulty in attempting to enforce the
provisions Of Section 100 of the Re-
vised Statutes, owing to the multitude
nous constructions of which the section
is susceptible. 1t is understood there
fore, that the heads of the several de-
partments have formulated q general
rule that no one who has been en-
ployed in any capacity in any of the
departments, shall be permitted to adj
yertise the fact in connection with his
business.
After all the experiments of the So
called Agricultural Department, the
most successful success has been the
recent manufacture Of sugar by the
battery Or diffusion process, but even
in this the appropriation for expert
ments was forced upon reluctant
Commissioner of so-called Agriculture by
the Senate appropriation committee.

The record of postofiice appoint
ments shows that the Republicans still
hold vast majority of them. Out of
1900 presidential offices only $50 have
yet been filled with Democrats, and of
the fourth class Office Democrats have
been appointed to 1900 while $4,000
are still held by the old Republican in
cumbents. And still the land is filed
with Republican wailings over the
redistribution of the spoils."

ONLY A STEP.-Whcn catarrh has
progressed to u certain extent, it is
only step to that terribly fatal dis.
case, consumption. If you have ca
tarrh, even slightly, it is terrible mis-
take to allow it to continue its course
unchecked. Ifyou will only read, you
will find conclusive reasons why you
should take Hoods Sarsaparilla for
catarrh, in the statements of many
people who have been completely cured
of this disease in the most severe forms.

Is compound of the virtues of sarsaparil-
la, stillinga, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-
tanning elements. 1t is the purest, safest,
and most eifectual Alternative medicine
known or available to the public. The Sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable remedy, nor one so
potent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. 1t cures Scrofula and
all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas,
Rose, or st. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches,
Boils, Tumors, letter, Humors,
Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm,
Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial
Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak
nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice,
Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia,
Emaciation, and General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange-
ment and decay. 1t stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions, promotes energy anu
strength, restores and preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity OF tho
blood need despair who will give AYERS
SARsAPARILLA q fair trial.
1t is folly to experiment with the numer-
Gus low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues, offered as
headquarters, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. AYERS SARsAPARILLA is a
medicine Of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable blood-purifer known.
Physicians know its composition, and pre-
scribe it, 1t has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified conf.
dence Of millions whom it has benefited.

Construction of Carp Ponds

As German Carp gre a fish es- pecially adopted to the South, we reproduce the following frem all exchange:
 "A Carp-breeder in Peunsylva- mia says a proper system requires three ponds. They must all be shallow in the main, bat each must Have deep place near the outlet. Each must have a collec- tor in the deepest point made of wood or masonry. This is a sort of trap in which to collect the fish especially intrpders, such as pred atory fish, eels, etc, which are sure to get into all ponds. Connected with the collector must be sluice which will drain the pond dry at will. This should be done early in the spring and late in the fall! All wood and masonry should bo aviOded in the construction of en- bankments except the simple sluice referred to, and this sluicc should answer the double purpose of holding water to its standard level and of drawing it all off when desired. In regions where the wa ter hVezeS, a hibernating greun q should be prepared adjoining the siuice, where tue carp can hurrow in winter. This should be the deepest place i2 the pond except ing the collector. The bottom of the pond should be muddy, as to produce a rank growth of aquatic vegetation. preferably lilies but any indigenous growth. This makes tho pond an aquatic pasture in which the carp will subsiSt without artificial food, which should not be given them Sill a short time before marketing or preparing fer the ta- hle, and then only in fattening box. cs OF vats which can be kept clean and which keep the carp from the eagtf 3}ne regular discharge of wattf tsBsi be from the bottom in stead of the surface. There must be mo other fish with the carp. Geese, ducks, and all dome stic fowls and animals Sh ould be kept inem carp ponds"

The Farmers $ Don't.

From Southern CutNator.
 Don't wait too much on the weather. Don't try to make something out of nothing. Don't go fishing as long as the ax and hoe need sharpening.
 Don't buy new farm tool until you know just how you can pay for 1t.
 Don't discourage your children hy constant complaints about farm bus mess.
 Don't go off dissatisfied becanse you did not get rich by farming in ayear ortwo.
 Don't settle down to the belief thaa red clover won't grow on the farm. Try it.
 Don't be content with half a crop when little more labor will bring a full one.
 Don't use "cuss words" w1h the expectation of making them mend broken harness.
 Dout forget that a very few acres in fruit will pay the expenses ot an average family. Don't abolish farm accounts. but make each cultivated field pay something above expenses. Don't forget that if you waste no time in attending to your crops they will grow nights and Sundays.
 Don't elIeve that berries and the smaller Lrnits are not wholesome in the family, but save health and obtain plasure by planting all that will grow.
 Don't fix the fence partly to-day with a promise to do ii better next week. That time does not come until damage 0 be regretted has been done.

"G0od Form in England.

Julian Kawthorne's Lecture.
 'Good form is something which no one can teach you, which eXpe- 1ience cannot impart.
 Itis matter of facS apparently free from effort, spontaneous ill the best English society, yet 50 trifling thing as infection of the voice, a careless gesture, will transgress its subtitle limits.
 It's presence is noted but it's a b. sence is fatal.
 It is an invaluable defense against enforced intrusion. Tho intruder ostracises himself and never knows how it happens.
 It is sort of secret language, with signs and counterslgnS, known only to the initiated.
 In England earls and dukes are less well-behaved than 'squires and barons and ,baronets, and 1 at tribute it to their narrower inheri. tance and traditions.
 Another characteristic of En- glish good society 1 find to be "un9h 9htrusiyeness.n The orna- mcnts are rich, but you have to look twice for Ghem. The tone of conversation is pitched low-no excitement, no stubborn opinions, no uncompr0mising assertions. The implication is that life is rather mildly entertaining than interes- ting.
 It is proper to smile, but hazard ous to laugh and unpardonable to weep. All effort, all exertion, all earnestness is deprecated. Those things are to be left to clergymen and preachers, but there are symp- toms that they, too, are catchin 2 the poljte indifference.
 Another distinctive feature of English society is it's etiquette with regard to the proper treat ment of servants. The most ont. rageous things might be done with impunity, but as you value your name, yoa must not help yourself to a potato CT put coal on the fire.s
