Reports come across the water now
and again of the severity of the disci-
pline of the German army, and of the
cruelties inflicted by the officers upon
the men. Things must be pretty bad
when they can drive German soldiers
to desert the flag of their country to
seek service in the ranks of their here
ditary enemies, the French. 1T is said,
however, that such desertions are not
unusual 1t is only few days since
that six of them, including two non
commissioned officers, and all in full
uniform, came into Dion and en-
listed in the French army. They ex-
planned that the cruelty of their Off
GERS was unbearable. They were as
signed to the foreign legion, and
shipped to Africa.

The House.

22D DAY.-The House spent the day in dis
cussing the rules. Several amendments to
the rules, designed to prevent filibustering,
were introduced and lost. Mr.. Dingley (Me.)
declared himself as opposed to filibustering.
Mr.. Morse's amendment, prohibiting the
smoking OF tobacco upon the floor Of the
House, was carried by fitty-fve yeas to fifty
one nays.
23D DAY.--Debate on the rules of the
House was continued without practical re-
suits. s.-The House agreed to the Senate
amendments to the Urgent Deficiency APP
preparation bill.
24TH DAY. Mr. Taibent Is. CO. asked
leave to introduce bill for the enlargement
of the volume of currency Mr.. Brosius
penn. objected. The House resumed the
consideration of the new code of rules, and
agreed, by 118 yeas to 81 nays, to the amend
men., striking from the rules the
clause making 100 members quo
rum in Committee of the Whole
The consideration of the code having been
completed, Mr.. Burrows mich. offered as
substitute for it the rules of the Fifty-first
Congress, with modification which provides
that when call of the House is ordered the
yeas and nays shall also be considered as or
dered. This, he thought, would put an end
to filibustering. The substitute was defeated
by 148 nays to 65 yeas, and the code of rules
was adopted without division.

Volapuk Ncaring It's End.

Many persons will perhaps breathe
a sigh of relief on hearing that Volapuk
is doomed, in France at least. French
business men will have none of it. Its
most energetic apostle and propagator
has been sent away from the Paris
headquarters of the Volapukists, and
is now filling an important post as pro-
fessor of German in provincial col
lege.
This being the case, the members of
the French Association of Volapukists
have decreed the dissolution of their.
society. Nevertheless, they had at one
time great hopes of success, and their
strange jargon was almost elevated for
a while to the ranks of a fashionable
fad.
Lectures in the new language, which
was to undo all the damage wrought
by the Babel affair long ago, were at
tended by numerous students of both
sexes, and small sheets in the strange
compound of tongues were disseminat-
ed every week among adopts and the
general public.
By degrees the craze died out, and
the number of Volapukists in Paris
dwindled to few enthusiastic persons
full of the sentiments peculiar to those
who cling through thick and thin to
lost 'auses. - London Telegraph.

Illinois has four hospitals for the
insane. The northern hospital is To-
Gated at Elgin, the eastern at Kanka-
kee. the central at Jacksonville and
the southern at Anna. About 1900
insane patients are inmates of these
hospitals, of whom /, 800 are at Kan
kakee. The State expends over 81,
900, 600 annually in the support of
these institutions. An asylum for in
sane criminals is in process of erection
at Chester. There are nearly as many
insane people cared for in the county
jails and almhouses, or not cared for
at all, as occupy the state hospitals.
All the institutions should be enlarged
to accommodate all those unfortunate
people who are not supported by their
own relatives in private sanitariums

A very important decision hand
ed down by the Supreme Court of
Minnesota, has wide bearing on la
Dor and capital alike. It is the case
of the Bohn Manufacturing Company
of st. Paul VS.. the Northwestern
Lumbermen's Association. The Bohn
Manufacturing Company was mem
Der of the Association, and the con-
stitution provides that no wholesale
dealer shall sell goods at any place at
less prices than retail dealers. The
Bohn Manufacturing Company was
accused of violating the agreement,
and was boycotted. The Bohn Com
pany served an injunction on Secre-
tary Hollis on the grounds that its
business would be seriously injured
by such action. The lower court sus-
tanned the plea and granted perma-
nent injunction against the boycott.
The order of the lower court was re-
versed by the Supreme Court for the
reason that the Bohn Company, being
member of the association, should
conform to its rules, and hence had
no ground for an injunction. The
Supreme Court holds that any man,
unless under contract obligation, OF
unless his employment charges hin
with some public duty, has right te
refuse to work for, or deal with, any
man or class of men he sees fit, ani
this right, which one nam may
exercise singly, any number
| OF men may exercise jointly

Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn,

The Ceur d'Alenes are the wealth.
est Indian tribe in the Northwest.
Many of the Indians have from
$1,000 to $4,000 on deposit in the local
banks, with the local merchants or in
Spokane. They all own farms, most
of which are fenced and being rapidly
placed in cultivation. They have
good homes, and many are setting out
nice orchards, which will be bearing
fruit in few years. They are very
careful with their money, buying
but few things they do not need, and
paying cash for each article as it is
purchased, thus allowing no chance
for cheating in figuring up bill.
They understand making change, but
cannot compute figures. Many of
them, especially the children, can read
and write, and the latter can be heard
reading the signs aloud as they walk
along the street.
