Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-Although the
winter has been very severe, especially IN
the West, there has been comparatively
little suffering among the Indian tribes
and the commissioned OF Indian affairs
has had but few requests to supply food
and clothes TO Indians. Congress has au-
thorized the use of portion OF the emer-
gency fund, an appropriation made for
this object, to relieve the necessities OF
the Northern Cheyenne Indians In Mon
tana; but with this exception the ordi-
nary provision made for the indians has
proved sufficient without recourse
TO special relief, which, as rule, each
winter is demanded to keep the Indians
from starving. This condition of affairs
Is attributed by Indian authorities TO the
greater attention which the Indians have
given TO agricultural and other Industries
instead of relying solely on hunting and
fishing.
GOODIES DENIAL.
General Solicitor Goode authorizes the
statement in regard TO the alleged charges
against him before the senate judiciary
committee, that they are unqualitiedly
false and that he courts TIE fullest
Investigation He has never had
any connection direct or Indirect
with any election frauds In
Virginia or elsewhere, and has no knowl-
edge Of any such frauds. In regard to
his contest for a seat In the Forty-fonrth
congress, he says the seat was awarded
to him by the house after the fullest in
vestigation, and that there was no intima-
tionfrom any source of fraud or any
charge rejecting upon his honor and
integrity; the contest turned chiefly
ON the admissibility Of the
navy yard vote, which he claimed
had been carried by intimidation and CO.
ercion. The charge that he accepted a
fee of $500 for obtaining an office for a
man, he says, is utterly untrue. He has
accepted no fee from any one for such
service. Mr.. Goode understands that the
charges referred to have been made by
1 Senator Malone, who has been for years
his personal enemy. He says he has made
an effort to obtain exact information as
to filing the charges against him but thus
far without success.

Morrison Taria Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l--The secretary
OF the treasury has written TO Represent
alive Morrison, chairman Of the ways
and means committee, in regard TO the
probable effect the passage OF the Nor
rison tariff bill will have on the public
revenues. In the letter he says the net
reduction computed on the basis OF last
years. importations would be about Sl2,-
100000. In regard to the proviso lin
ting the maximum of duties to certain
advalorem rates, ii says; at leaves
room for controversy on values, but
the values could be approximately as
certained by custom officers" He
suggests, however, that provision
be made by which the valuation
OF such officers should be made final, and
not leave this important question TO be in
after years subjected TO the uncertainties
Of trial in court, with the consequent cost
to the people OF refunding duties. The
same remarks, he says, apply 10 those
clauses of the bill which fix the duty ac-
cording to the value of the article. lie
calls attention TO the necessity OF making
more clear in some cases the exact arti-
cles TO which provisos apply to the
troublesome defect in the present tariff
visions in the tariff acts fixing the rate
OF duty according to the component ma
terlal OF chief value lead to litlga-
ton because Of the uncer-
tainty of the meaning OF that
term when applied TO manufactured ar
ticles There are a number OF such
pending bills which involve this question,
and in them the secretary fears that the
government will be defeated. The Ten
nessee "earthenware, he says, is also
open to misconsructlon. in its recent
use 1t has been held TO mean that other
hollow ware, or ware made on the pot
ter's wheel, and If this construction
should prevail, glazed tile, for illustra-
ton, becomes non.enumerated manu-
featured article, subject TO 20 per
cent. advalorem duty. Attention is also
called TO the uncertainty of the term
"broken or graduated rice" and sug-
gestion is made that maximum size be
stated so as 10 avoid controversy.

Recipes and HINTS.

Paper bags, in which many articles
are sent from the grocery stores, should
be saved for use when backing a stove.
You can slip the hand into one of these
and handle the brush Just as well, and
the hand will not be soiled at all, and
when through with them they eau be

The tiny red ants which are such a
nuisance in many pantries, may be
easily driven away if kerosene is freely
used. Those who have been troubled
with them know that they always come
in lines, coming through some crevice
in the wall or floor, and following one
after the other in regular order until
they reach the shelf above. If kerosene
is turned the entire length of the line,
also on the place where they come in.
the floor, ETC., they will soon depart.
You may need to repeat this a few
times, but it is an easy and efectual
method of getting rid of them. Leave
the door and windows open awhile, and
the scent of kerosene will soon be gone.

Have a Purpose.

Young man, have purpose in your
heart. Now, what is your purpose in
life? Is it that, under all circumstances
YOU will do what you think is right
Or is it to become rich at the expense OF

YOU should have is to care for yourself.
Young men nova days don't; aud when
the body is wrecked, they hobble through
life, making every body about them mis-
cradle. Find out what diet best agrees

have acquired profourd educations by
being studious during small intervals OF
leisure. Get an hour day If you can
get no more. Devote half of it to study
f the Bible, and divide the remaining
thirty minutes, say between astronomy
botany and geology. Do this one year
and you will be surprised a. what you
have accomplished.
Then take care of your manners. The
manners of Americans are degenerating
There was a time when a Young man
would not offend lady by putting cigar
smoke into her face. Now see it done

Never uet Into Debt.

| Not many years ago young man
came in town to finish his studies at the
Office of one of cur best lawyers He
was well educated, Intelligent, agree
able, and kind; but he was poor, and in
order to support himself, tried to get a
class in French. A few scholars came,
and the thing did not pay. After a
while he paid his landlady, left his
boarding house, and took to the woods.
On the side of hill, in a thick pine
grove, he pitched his tent, where he
cooked his food, ate, slept and studied
OF course, his strange conduct made a
great deal of talk. One morning, after
terrible thunderstorm during the
night, his friends hunted him up.

of being in debt; my scanty income

Gentlemen offered to aid him, but he
sturdily refused their offers, got through
his studies, and has now large business,
which handsomely supports him.

When a boy or a man falls into the habit
of borrowing money, spending freely,
having things charged, negiecting to
pay, dosging his creditors. promising to
pay and not keeping his promises, he is
in bad way. He forgets, lies, loses
his self respect, and is slowly but surely
letting himself down, down, down. The
history of many man shows how far
down it may be, even to robbery and
murder. Two of the worst murders
ever committed in Boston were done by
respectable men to hide their debts One
killed his intimate friend because he
could not pay a debt which he was owing
him. The other, young man, shot In

How Yankee Woman Makes Good
Butter.

Some folks use weak brine TO wash
out the buttermilk, but / think there is
too much fuss about it. They say that
the buttermilk will unite with the brine
better and they can get it out quicker
do not believe it can be done in this
way any sooner if we take the bother OF
the brine into the account. We used to
pack all our butter in fifty and 100
pound tubs, made of white oak or white
ash. Lately we have put it in four
gallon earlhen crooks, but we don't like
the plan. The crooks cost SO much, and
then you never can get your own back
again, and we don't like to put butter
in an old crock when no one knows what
has been in it. | am sure butter will
not keep sweet in a crock-and | do not
care if it has been glazed which has
had lard in it, or rancid butter. Butter
is more sensitive than many suppose,
anu butter room should never be con
nected with kitchen, and if it is, the
door must be kept closed or the butter
will have a good many smells and tastes
The tubs are the cheapest, and we never
expect them back, but the custom is to
return the crooks. 1t ought not to be
so, and the groceryman should pay for
them, and then he will take some inter-
est in locking out for them, and not let
them get mixed up with his own and
everybody's else.
have been looking around for some
sort of cheap thing to put butter in
that we could afford to let go with the
cutter, and have found that there is a
wooden can or tub sold very cheap and
coated with paraffine, so that the butter
won't stick to it. and the air is kept out.
These little boxes have tight-6ttiHg
covers, and can be packed in cheap
crate and go to market in good order.
One of the good things about them is
they are made to hold from ten to TWEEN
ty-tive pounds, and are just suited for
family use.
| have seen square boxes with racks
in them, resting on cleats to hold them
up, and on these racks the butter wss
put, made into pound and half pound
packages, Then prints are stamped
nicely and wrapped up in thin muslin.
This is fancy way to put up butter,
aud make great deal of trouble, and it
usually sells for more money, although
the butter may not be any better. 1t
must be eaten up soon or it will spoil
thus exposed. Tin boxes are used also,
and have friend who ships in them,
made Just the right size to hold twelve
pound prints and four layers.
The butter should be packed and kept
covered. Il should be pressed from the
center to the outside Betsy Jones in

THE LITTLE BIRD.

A little bird with feathers brewn
Sat singing on tree
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as it could be.
And all the people passing by
Looked up 20 see the bird
That made the sweetest melody
That ever they had heard.
But all the bright eyes looked in vain,
For birdie was so small,
And with modest dark brown coat,
He made no show at all
Why, papa" little Oracle said,
"Whert can this birdie be?
II I could sing song like that,
I'd sit where folks could see
II hope my little girl will learn
A lessoa from that bird,
And try To do what good she can,
Not to be seen or heard.
This birdie il content to sit
Unnoticed by the way,
And sweetly sing his Makers praise
From dawn to close of day.

That be it short or long,
Though Others may forget your looks,
They'll not forget your song"
