An incident of this typical Journey
am describing would at more than one
season, be meeting with some band of
Indians going to a post with furs for
barter. Though the bulk of these hunt
ers fetch their quarry in the spring and
early summer, some may come at any
time. The procession may be only that
of family or of the two or more fami-
lies that live together or as neighbors
The man, if there is but one group. is
certain to be stalking ahead, carrying
nothing but his gun. Then come the
women, laden like pack-horses. They
NAV have sled packed with the furs
and drawn by a dog or two, and an
extra dog may bear balanced load on
his back, but the squaw is certain to
have spine-warping burden OF
meat and battered kettle and
a pappoose, and whatever personal
property of any and every sort
she and her liege lord own. Chill
dren who can walk have to do so, but
it sometimes happens that baby a
year and half or two years old is on
her back, while a newborn infant,
swaddled in blanket stuff, and bagged
and tied like a bologna sausage, sur
mounts the load on the sled A more
tatterdemalion outfit than band OF
these pauperized savages form it would
be difficult to imagine On the plains
they will have horses dragging ira
voises, dogs with travoises, women and
children loaded with impedimenta,
colt or two running loose, the lordly
men riding free, struggling ours
plenty, babies in arms, babies swad-
died, and toddlers afoot, and the whole
battalion presenting at its exposed
points exhibits of torn blankets, raw
meat, distorted pots and pans, tent,
poles and rusty traps, in all eloquently
suggestive of an eviction in the slums
of a great city.-Julian Ralph. in Har-

Interesting Facts About the Publication
OF the Congressional Record.

Interesting Facts About the Publication
of the Congressional Record.
The Congressional Record for the
Fifty-second congress lately made its
appearance. Some interesting facts are
connected with this official gazetteer Of
the proceedings of congress, says the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gaze Alto
gether, the publication makes more
typesetting and presswork than half
dozen ordinary papers in the United
States 1t sometimes has from 100 to
1875 pages of solid matter, which would
make an octave book of 400 to 500
pages 1t requires an enormous amount
of type to get out the Record. A new
dress is procured at the beginning of
about every other congress-every four
years, and sometimes every two years.
A new dress means over 100 tons of
type-many times more than there is in
dozen Of the largest printing offices,
including type of all grades.
About $4,000 copies are published.
Each member Of the house gets about
81 and each senator about 40 copies
daily. These they have mailed
daily from the government printing
Office to those they wish to have them.
Some of them are preserved and bound
at the end of the session, all free of
cost. A new dress Of type for the
Record costs in round figures S7S, 900.
1t costs probably $4,000 to $1,000 to give
first-class daily newspaper a new
dress. The type came from the foundry
in Chicago and filed 1888 boxes, aver
aging weight of lis pounds
The old type is sold at the BEST prices
the public printer can get. 1t is usually
about half worn when sold and ordi-
narily commands about five cents q
pound moro than the metal is worth.
Many newspapers In the country have
been given new dress from the old
dresses Of the Congressional Record. A,
two-year-oid dress Of the Record is or
dinarily not worn more than that used
for twelve months in country Office,
as there is so much In use here, and
then everything is stereotyped.

Homes.
The character of the homes of a ma,

The characteristics developed in the

fish, it seems to disregard the human
family, of which the home is at most,
and best, only fraction, part; but
perfected fractions make a perfect unit,
a symmetrical whole.
1t is one of the errors that we are
constantly making in arranging and
adjusting our lives to the demands
made upon us, that we are apt to use
our natural vision to discern the evils,
and the remedies for the evils, in homes
that are really foreign, though in our
land-the homes which in philanthropy
we are apt to term .our neighborhood. !"
The intensity of our interest in social
questions at large frequently prevents
us from having interest in and knowl-
edge of the social conditions and social
questions affecting the homes of which
we form part, perhaps even the ones
of which we should be the centers. 1t
is this diverted, not to say perverted,
interest that results in deaouenlenfs
which amaze and appall all thinkers,
and in which the thorghtless find oc-
casion for derisive jokes and sings at
would-be reformers.
All true reformation, like all true

as the student of social questions has

To the southern housekeeper butter
milk is a practical, everyday necessity.
She not only uses it. In cooking, but
puts 1t upon her table as beverage.
Il never use baking powder said a
lady to a New York Recorder reporter
one day, except in cake, and noticed
she expressed the minds of the southern
women generally.
One woman will even sour her sweet
milk with vinegar rather than not
make her biscuit In the usual way. The
Tennessee woman churns every day in
warm weather, and she churns sweet
milk.
In fact, all the milk that is not used
for family purposes is put into the
churn. 1t follows that the amount of
butter is small, but it is the buttermi1l1
she is after and that she gets In such
abundance that the question of the
little child: Mamma, which COW gives
the butterrnill12'' is not so strange, after
all. The children drink it as they would
water.
At dinner it is often the only beverage
upon the table. What is not needed for
the family is readily sold at the uni
form price of ten cents per gallon.
Many woman of the south makes her
pin money in this way.
In fevers and all diseases of a malarial
type butternnillk is a useful drink. An
observant physician who knew the
habits of both northern and southern
people once remarked: 81 believe that
one reason the people of the south do
not suffer so much from dyspepsia is be-
cause of their free use Of buttermilk. It
is,not only promoter Of good digestion,
but good blood purifier, and therefore
valuable internal cosmetic"
Do you suppose, my northern lady,
that when you taste the sour, sailed
contents of your bi-weekly churning
after that great golden lump comes
forth you can form a just idea of what
southern buttermilk Is?
If you wish to do so you must sacrt-
fee somewhat of your buffers gilt and
weight, you must churn as did the
black ''aunties," and then you may
know the fresh, sweet nutritious, anti
