INDIAN RIGHTS.

ANDkAEN 1A2U Be
 The sixth annual report of the executive committee of the Indian Rights association is a very interesting document. The associa- ton has done much good work. It has for it's object to acquaint the people of the coun- try with the true condition and needs of the Indians and to create an enlightened public sentiment that will ensure sufficient support are intended to secure and protect the rights of the Indians and to maintain the govern ment's faith plighted to them in treaties. In pursuing this object the association studies the facts by system of direct investigation on the reservations, co-operates with the gov ernment in plans and measures for the i'm provement of the condition of particular tribes, keeps close watch on the conduct of business in the Indian bureau, seeks to in- fuence congress to right action on Indian legislation and circulates an immense amount of information among the people.
 One valuable thing done by the association is in having representative in Washington whose work is to oppose bad measures and prevent unjust and unwise legislation. The association has also had some influence on the methods and personnel of the Indian bureau. It is true that, as the report says, taken as a whole the management of the In- dian service under the Cleveland administra- tion has been conspicuously bad. It has been so simply because of the presence of Messrs. Atkins and Upshaw in the commis- sionership and assistant commissionership respectively. So long as they were in con- trol the association could get no hearing at the Indian office; they were not men who were open to such persuasions and argu- ments as the association could offer; and un- der them the Indian service was little more than rich pasture for the fattening of po- litieal hordes. Yet the association kept up a constant fire of criticism, searched out facts to show the demoralization of the service, created g vigorous public sentiment of pro- test and finally, when the change was made, helped to large extent to bring about 80 ad- mirable an appointment as that of MT. Ober ly to the commissionship. This gentleman is now planning in cooperation with the as- sociation Improvements of prime importance to the value of the service and the welfare of the Indians.
 The association deserves the hearty sup- port of good men and women all over the country. It is receiving more of it as its work becomes known.

UGLY LEADERS OF FASHION.
Women More Famed for Intellec
 Than Beauty.

Than Beauty.
 From the Philadelphia Timesl
 Isn't it a bit odd that the women who more than any others have controlled the fashions within the past twenty-five years have not been beautiful womena There are three of whom it may be said that they gave the cue to La Mode. and these are the Prin- cesse de Metternich, Sarah Bernhardt and the Princess of Wales-I range them as they have control Mme. de Metternich had an ugliness that, like Japanese teapot of any value, was so ugly it was unique-the ugli- ness that has more of a cachet than mere beauty, for merely beautiful women can be found every day, while absolutely ugly ones, charm of manner, are noted when found. Sarah Bsrnhardt was never beautiful wo- man, at the same time, even about her ap- pearancs, there was something fascinating, and when she is acting the fro of genius makes her all skin look warm and pink, her almost coloriess eyes burn brightly and her rumpled hair seem an artistic arrangement. The Princess of Wales, with her sweet, lady like, refined face, is charming, but that is all. The London papers can rave as they will about her baauty-an hours walk in any large city in the United States will dis cover a hundred girls better looking and with equal refinement of face. The first one of these three women made black very chic; before her time it had been dedicated to the bourgeoisie; the second made frills of lace, loose fitting gloves, picturesque hats and all styles specially suited to slender women the vogue, while the last gave to the high mili- tary collar, the daintyslittle bonnet and sim pie arrangement of the hair the seal of her approval Each one of these women was clever enough to make fashionable exactly the belongings that hid her defects, and to know how to hide 8 defect or bring out a

Fashion Nofes.

For the washing and sponging of colored goods in every shade nothing is quite so sure of success as ox-gall soap, bought of any druggist. small package will suffice for numerous washings. The warm water should be covered with suds before the cloth is put in; after that no amount of scrubbing and wringing will fade the most delicate tints.
 High-crowned hats, in sinking from their late absurd elevation, have fattened the brim and crown to almost the same level, and flats are the result. On these feathers and ribbon bows are piled high to relieve the dead level and form soft setting for the face. Soft grsyish blue and green felts are frequently cut poke shape and tied with broad ribbons under the chin. These are worn almost exclusively by young women who clip their hair about the shoulders and train it in ringlets that hang in careless con- fusion about the face.
 As sudden and unanticipated as was the advent of the Hading veil, SO rapid is it's disappearance. For a while every woman of sufficient means to buy 8 pocket-handker- chief indulged herself in one of these enor- mites, and wore it with persistence and courage that could not but command respect Now they have vanished as their originator Gs They have become vulgar, said one leader of fashion, and laying hers aside she set the example for all New York. In the place of the former great spread of lace appears a narrow veil, heavily dotted or entirely plain, reaching just below the nose and tied neatly at the back, and the one who dons the ruff fled mask is 8 curiosity.
 A pretty way to make over light colored cashmere or nuns yelling that may have to be washed and worn again is to buy several bolts of ribbon half an inch wide, the same shade as the cashmere, and apply it in par allel lines wherever it is possible For a young girl, make the skirt in one full founce, snirred up to fit about the hips and finished with deep hem at the bottom. Then ap- ply the ribbon-sesen> or eight bands will not be too many-at once their own width apart and sewed only on the upper edge A little tucked waist may be worn with this and the ribbon laid SO as just to show under the tucks and in bands about the collar and cuffs. A saeh of surah, fringed and knotted by hand, will serve to soften the weist line and furnish all the drapery needed.
 If one is woman of comparative leisure l and fond of sewing, the making of one's un- derclothes will be labor well worth the

Th0 Directory f0r Nurses,

Now we'll advanced in the third year of it's existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for @ new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of 8 hundred names are on our register, representing the majority of the best nurses in this city and vicinity, both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for a compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- uated Nurses will generally command. It is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when a nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service.
 Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and sll calls by telegraph, mail or telephone will receive prompt attention by

Dr. George H. Cooper, director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station and member of the National Academy of Sciences. in his last bulletin says: "The growing of sorghum and the manufacture of sugar from it by farmers everywhere in our country, at paying prices, appear to be assured. It is now ready for them to proceed in acquiring, by practice, the skill and experience which is to make it one of the great industries of the nation."
 The use of compressed air for the distribu- tion of power is rapidly spreading in Paris. For ten years pneumatic clocks have been run by this means and there are now forty no less than 7,SO0 clocks. But within three years compressed air has also been applied to industrial purposes, and there are now thir. ty-6ve miles of pipes in this branch of the service. Last October these pipes supplied 400 horse power for general manufacturing and trade purposes, and about 600 horse
 power for electric lighting, and since that
 time the development has been rapid, so that , probably 1,500 horse power is now furnished.

 The good people of Hartford don't mean to have any more fiimsy and uneafe build- ings put up. The city government ordinance committee has drawn up 8 measure provid- | ing for building inspector, who shall be | appointed by the board of health. He is to | devote his whole time to the work, must pass | judgment on materials of construction and insist upon certain conditions for the safety of buildings. He is to attend fires, and re- port upon peculiar circumstances connected | with them, and with the cooperation of the board of health can enforce the new ordi. ! nance provisions. This bill does away with l the present fire marshal. Aggrieved parties | may appeal to the board of health in any
 case. The committee thought it better to I use that body for building protection than to ! create new board, especially as the present officers have charge of the sanitary arrange ! ments of buildings. The committee ask that |
 for approval, so that it's penalties may be en- \ forced.

How To Increase Your Wages,

Every thinker knows that the man
who would succeed must do more work
than lie gels paid for, in every profess
sion and trade. We take it for grant
ed that the man who will do only $50
worth of work a week because his sal
AIRY is but $40 will never get more than
$40 a week, for the simple reason that
he has never shown his employer that
he is worth more. We figure it that an
employe who e to succeed has to
do fIom 10 to 90 per cent more work
than he gets actual pay for. This he
has to do until he reaches a certain
point, and having reached that point
he will find that by as much as his in
come has increased, by so much has the
demand for amount and intensity of
his labor diminished. To put this
theory into figures, W. will say that a
boy receiving So a week should do "a
worth Of work; the boy receiving IS a
week should do 81 worth of work; when
he gets to be a a and receives $40 a
week, he should do $50 worth of work;
a mai receiving $50 should do $40 worth
of work, and so until, say, the salary
reaches SIS, and then the labOrer can
give himself somewhat of "a rest, that is
to say, about $50 worth of work will
satisfy his employer. Labor brings its
market value, and is seldom overpaid,
oftener undergrad. 1t is the experience

money Philadelphia Ledger.

CORN CURCULIO.

An insect hitherto little known has
been doing much damage to growing
corn In New Castle county, Delaware.
The insect is a black beetle about half
All inch long, with a probOscis o. snout
one-third of its length, with which 1t
penetrates the stalk and extracts the
juice of the plant. The effect on the
plant is not to kill it., but to destroy its
vigor, so that it has only a diseased
life and rarely makes ears.
State Enlomologist, Nj. Ii. Beckwitb,
of Delaware, says: "The insects are
the sculptured corn curculio-sphen-
ophorus sculptilis. They have been re-
ported as injuring the corn crop in var
ious localities since the year 1S41.
Without doubt the corn curculio are
the cause of much of the injury to corn
that is attributed to the cut-worm.
Wild grasses are said to be the orr
ginal food plants of this insect and dur
ing. unusual freshets and very rainy
weather they are driven by the water
from their natural place of depositing
their eggs upon the roots and base of
plants. Corn affords abundant food
and opportunity for egg deposits and
they very naturally attack that plant.

the life history of this insect, the pupa

Elk Senator |. T. Nichols, of Bridge
ton, who took the Pittsgrove cannon
has been defending himself from the
attacks of Salem county papers and the
following shows how he and brother
Smith of the South JerSeyntdn, are bonn
harding one another:
Mr.. Nichols says: Sin the mean
time the smoke of battle which for a
period hung over Pittsgrove, has lifted
sufficiently to show that Brother Smith,
of the South JerSeyman, is still at the
muZzle, ram-rod in had, prepared to
ram in another cartridge if the cam.
paign gets any hotter. The spectacle
is a sublime one, because Smith is al.
ways a patriot when there is no foe in
the front, and always on the retreat
when hostilities actually begin"
THIS weeks South JerS eyrnan says:
"Smith' may have been accused OF
retreating during the battle, but he
was never accused of being a half-inch
demagogue, a two-cent statesman, a
sneak, or u political traitor. Next
week we will have the space to dissect
Nichols and his little letter."
