INDUCING INDIANS TO MARRY.


PsrP=tuatins the Indian Race.
The commissioner Of Indian affairs,
Mr. Browning, is determined TO prove
TO the Indians that marriage IS not z
failure. lie has discovered that most
of the red men under the bureau at the
present time have been induced TO
believe that it is not the proper thing
20 get married, and for this reason, in
the mind of the commissioner. the
numbers of the red men are decreasing
fast 1t is not certain but that the
commissioner, IN the interest of pre-
| serving his bureau, was forced to give
some study and attention to the matter
OF matchmaking among the people
The commissioner has laboTed over
this matter very industriously. and. ac-
cording 10 the Kansas City Journal. he
has evolved a scheme. He proposes TO
prove 10 them that they can get in IA
vor with the great father If they VIII
Join in the holy bonds of matrimony
The scheme is 4 novel one, and il is
the opinion Of the commissioner that
very soon the leading duties of the
Indian agent will be 70 act as remarry-
ing agent for his colony The reward
for getting married is a striking mar

UNIQUE AMONG LEGISLATURES.
The Wearing Of Hats in the English House
of Commons.

The Wearing of Hats In the English House
of Commons
The first thing that strikes the visit
or to the house Of commons Is that
here also it IS exceptional among the
legislatures Of the world-the house cf
commons permits its members to retain
their hats during the sitting. Indeed.
Il IS the rule to wear and the exception
not TO wear the hat Mr.. Gladstone
never wears his hat, nor did Mr.. Smith,
the late respected leader in the house
Of commons on the conservative side;
nor did Disraeii. nor does Mr.. Balfour.
nor Sir Charles Russell 4 member,
however. can keep his hat on only
when he Is in his seat If he rises to
speak, he OF course takes off his hat; II
re rises to leave his seat and 90 out OF
the house, he has 10 take of his hat;
so long rs he remains standing in any
part OF the house, he has TO keep of
his hat. There are some Of the older
members who, even when they lean
over their seats to converse with a
member on the bench in front OF them
take of their hats. And it IS usual,
too. when 4 member interjects an OBJ
servation across the floor to take il of.
II was also the invariable custom when
@ member was referred to that he
should raise his hat, but this rule IS
falling into desuetude. Power
