THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
The report of the Secretary of the Interior
exhibits with great fullness and clearness the
vast work of that great department and the
satisfactory results attained The sugges-
tionS made by him are earnestly commended
to the consideration of Congress, though
they can noe all be given particular
mention here. The several acts of Con-
gress looking to the reduction of
the larger Indian reservations, 60 the
more rapid settlement of the indiana upon
Individual allotments and to the restoration
to the public domains of lands in excess Of
their needs have been largely carried into
effect, so far as the work was cOnfided to the
Executive. Agreements have been concluded
since March 4, 1889, involving the cession to
the United States of about 14,726, 600 acres
of land. These contracts have, as required by
law, been submitted to Congress for ratifica-
ton and for the appropriations necessary
to carry them into effect. Those with the
Sisston and Wahpeton, Sac and Fox, Iowa,
Pottowatomies and absentee Shawnees and
CPur d'Alene tribes have not yet received
the sanction of Congress. Attention is also
called to the fact that the appropriations
made in the case of the Sioux Indians have
not covered all the stipulated payments
This should be promptly corrected. II an

How Thick Frogs Are i'm the Marshes
Near New Orleans.

Talking about making money out
OF beer it's nothing compared to the
possibilities offered by the cultivation
of frogs" remarked j. G. Holmes
merchant of New Orleans, to Mil
waukee Sentinel man, as he sat in the
Schlitz hotel and toyed with a glass of
Milwaukees sparkling brew. Il have
been a sort of Il crank on the subject
of frogs all my life and the longer /
live the more firmly am | convinced
that there is fortune III store for the
man who will start big frog farm
and supply the market with the hind
legs of these members of the family
rama. And there is no place in the
world so fitted by nature for the estab
lishment of frog farms as the low lands
and marshes adjacent to New Orleans. :"
Are there many OF them in the
marshes?'
Il should say there were. They
swarm in myriads. The pools can't
hold them all. ! have seen them sitting
around the banks two or three tiers
deep. 1t is matter of no infrequent
occurrance for the small streams run
ming through the marshes to be crowd
ed up over their natural banks by the
army of frogs in them. l recollect
once l was out with hunting party
and we came suddenly upon Il bayou,
the banks of which for "a distance OF
several yards were covered with great
array of frogs lying out summing
themselves. They took fright at our
approach, and with one impulse dived
down into the water ka-chunk! I'M
mediately thereupon the river rose up
and covered the adjoining banks,
which a moment before had been high
and dry. Another time a party OF
friends of mine were hunting near the
same place and at night pitched theiI
camp, and went to bed The frogs,
which are naturally of an. inquisitive
turn of mind, took Il fancy to investi.
gate the campfire, and before morning
the whole frog-community was
assembled around the tents and had
them completely walled in. When the
hunters awoke they could not move
three feet outside the tent-doors and
eventually had to get their guns and
fire into the ranks OF the frogs for ii.
most an hour before they could clear d
path by which to get out. Are there

"Hail Columbia" Il National Air.

The somewhat singular statement
from Chicago theatrical manager
crept into print the other day that the
'Star-Spaugled Banner is the only
National song in America.
Hail Columbia WAS National music
before the author of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" was heard Of and as it is
music today, as when it was first writ
ten, something of its origin, in the
face of the statement of the Chicago
manager, may be of interest:
The first National air we had in this
country was the Presidents March"
1t was written somewhere about 1898
but the name of the composer has
been lost in the shuttle of events.
One day, while this country and
France were engaged in dispute
which threatened to terminate in war,
and while Congress was in aession in
Philadelphia. a young man who was
singer and who was to take 4 benefit at
one of the Philadelphia theaters called
upon Joseph Hopkinson, a young writ
er, and asked Hopkinson to write him
a song. The war spirit was abroad.
The trouble with France was on every
body's lips. Hopkinson and the young
singer agreed that the words of the song
must be patriotic appeal. Nothing
else would catch. Hopkinson told the
young man to call the next day and
get the song. and on the next day the
words of Hail Columbia" were hand
ed to the young singer and that night
were sung by him to the music of the
Presidents March, The theater was
crowded. The audience caught the
air and encoured the singer until he
grew hoarse in his Acknowledgements.
After the benefit people assembled on
the streets and sang the words. The
song was repeated every night for a
year in the theaters of Philadelphia,
New York and Boston, for there was
a theater in the Puritan city about this
time.
Joseph Hopkinson was the son of
Francis Hopkinson one of the singers
of the Declaration of independence,
and one of the earliest American hum
orists, his wit being considered as q
forerunner of that type which made
the Danburv NecS man famous. Chi

An EmperOr's MauSoleum.

The mausoleunl of the Emperor Fred
erick is completed externally. with the
exception OF the copper roof of the
cupola. In the interior the stonema-
sons and sculptors are still ut work. The
decorations of the Interior are very
rich. and carried out entirely in light
gray Silesian sandstone. The sober
color of this is only interrupted by the
polished dark green Syenite pillars.
As finish to the arch which spans the
opening of the altar niche, a beautiful
formed escutcheon has been chosen,
over which the imperial eagle scars
with outspread wings. This is thanked
on both sides by figures of angels
holding religious symbols in their
hands. The spandrels of the upper
gallery are adorned with cherubs.
Within the last few days the emperor's
consent has been given to the carrying
ont of the mosaic in the cupola and on
the ceiling of the altar space. The
designs for the mosaics were worked
out By Professor Ewald. after early
christian works. The cupola is to re-
ceive figures of angels on 4 gold ground
between palms.

Modern Changes in Literature.

The working author. he whose ink is
bread, recognizes more than ever be.
fore the commercial side of literature
as q most potent factor in this work.
SAYS writer in The Lddies' Home
J0ltraGi. There was Il time, and not
so long ago. when authors could write
fore pleasure, when competition was
not 50 keen. and their productions were
certain of acceptance in certain chan
nelS. Everything they wrote was ac-
ceptable because they wrote it, upon
the argument that they had cut out
for themselves certain constituency
which hailed anything from their pen,
good, bad and Indifferent. Two or
three authors often constituted the re-
sources of a magazine. All this has
changed. No writer however strong
or popular, can carry the subscription
list of magazine in his or her pocket.
Variety is the order of the day. The
magazine which gives the greatest
variety in a single issue is the one most
bought and enjoyed. Il do not care
for Il magazine, said a literary woman
recently, ''in which | know before |
open its pages, exactly what writers /
shall find in it, and in that remark
lies the key to the modern literary
taste. One beneficial effect which this
tendency is undoubtedly having is the
doing away with cliqueism in period
ical literature, In fact, it cannot be
truthfully said of one prominent mag
azine to-day, as i. could as late as a
year ago, that it is ''cliquey." Editors
fully recognize the necessity of con-
tinually presenting different array of
writer's, and thereby securing variety
of style and thought. To the old
writers who have been accustomed for
years to write for single periodical
this new order of things is disastrous
in one respect, but for the whole school
OF modern writer's it is decided adj
vantage.

Put Up or Shut Up.

Two reporters were standing at

The fellow who approached them was
seedy and cheeky. He was so seedy
that in n warmer cline he might have

banker, but he talked like one. Il say,

men, "please gimme 10 cents, won't
