The House was scared.

The Democratic leaders of the House
were so afraid to trust the tariff bill in
the hands of the Senate again. that
they did not dare make some neces-
sary corrections in its language. Thus
the opening section provides that the
bill shall go into effect latter the Both
day of June, 1894" The bill was pass
ed by the House on August Is. and
will not become a law until either it is
signed by the President, OIL until ten
days elapse after it reaches his hands
mot counting Sundays), which will be
August q.
Then the sugar schedule provides
that its rates shall not go into effect
until January l, next, The Trust can
import all the "a sugar it car pur-
chase. until that time, free of duty.
II will have at least a years supply
on hand. The price of sugar to the
consumer will go up promptly at that
date. but the government will receive
practically no venue from sugar i'm
ports until a year from that time.

Foremost among the many table ap.
purtenances that please ~housewifely
taste is the silver pudding dish. with
its porcelain lining, which is sent to
the table with its contents steaming
hot. Besides adding very much to the
attractiveness of the table setting, the
silver pudding dish is of especial value
where the dainty it holds requires to
be kept well heated in order to tempt
the palate.
The unlucky trick which the sauce.
pan lid sometimes has of parting com
pany with its handle, and thereby be.
coming almost useless, may be remedied
by screwing a small screweye into a
cork on the inside, forming an admira.
BILE substitute.
Much of the appetizing quality OF
fruit depends upon the manner in
which it is served. Cantaloupe, ar.
ranged cup fashion upon a quantity
shaped dish, each half of the fruit hold
ing a tiny pyramid of crushed ice;
grapes banked in ice, or served with
tiny glasses of iced water, in which
they may be dipped if desired, and ber-
ries snugly ensconced within a wicker
basket garnished with fresh green
leaves-all of the modes appeal to the
tickle warm weather appetite. Finger
bowls and tiny fruit-doylies should
always follow the fruit course.
Some sensible woman gives a sugges-
ton for a p~iece-bag that is more useful
holding odd bits of cloth, trimmings
and braids. The bag is made Of any
chosen size and has an interlining.
The outer is stitched into divisions,
which have on the outside attached
flap a hint of their contents-such as a
loop of black braid, a bit of tape, scraps
of cloth and other indications-to tell
at a glance the contents.
When crabs are boiled and served
whole, the process of removing the
meat is rendered easy by mean of a
dainty silver pick, made with one long
prong, the handle ending in a small
enameled crab caught in a silver net
ting.
Perhaps the reason your coffee is
seldom good is that the pot in which
it is boiled is rarely perfectly clean.
Leave this point altogether to the
judgment of your maid and it will be
sadly neglected. To clean the coffee
pot fill it with water and put in a piece
of hard soap; set it on the stove, and
let it boil IN hour. 1t will be as good

INDIANS LOVE GAMBLING.

They VIII Bet Big Sums, Even on the
Death of . Friend.
The gambling instinct among Jndi-
ans seems rather to be increased than
otherwise by civilization, and more than
one Cherokee who drew at Tahlequah
recently for himself, his wife and his
children quite a large sum of money in
full discharge of, his personal interest
in the Cherokee strip came near losing
every dollar of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
was exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulative recipients were standing to-
gether near the post Office. A boy was
seen coming along the street on a
bucking pony. For so young a boy he
held his seat well, but it seemed x
ceeding probable to the onlookers that
before he got the pony home he would
either be thrown or would nave to get
of. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement, and
finally man bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
boy would be thrown before he got
past them. -
AAC pCt was dSCCptCu Will NiClOue
eagerness, and IS they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirled round,
bucked, sat down on its launches, and
did everything else that was ever
known to q trick horse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement Of
their argument. Finally the horse,
despairing of any other means of get
ting rid of its rider, leaped in the air
and fell on its side, knocking half the
life out of the boy, and then rolling
completely rel him. An alteration,
of course followed as to which had
won the bet The plucky boy hung on
to the horn of his saddle, although ap-
parently fatally injured. He neither
fell off nor got OF, but was lifted of
the furious animal by half a dozen men
who rushed quickly to the rescue. Eff
forts were made to quiet the two In
dians, and the suggestion that the bet
be declared of vas freely made. As
each man declined to pay the other,
this was the final outcome Of the af-
fair; but the wagering of such a COM
paratively large sum owe such an in
significant event shows that specula-
ton will always be more or less pop
ular with the average Indian.-St.
