A RICH INDIAN TRIBE.
One Condition in Which 1t Pays to Have
Large Family.

OhO SOhNhbiOh III rays 10 rave
Large Family.
Located near Arkansas Citv, Ark,
are the Osages, probably the richest
tribe of Indians in the world They
number about three hundred men,
women and children, each of whom re-
ceives from the government between
three hundred and four hundred dol
lars annuity in interest on the pur-
chase price of lands sold many years
ago. In addition to this they derive a
good income from the rent of land on
the reservation now occupied by them,
most of it being used by cattlemen for
grazing purposes. They are negotiat-
ing for the sale of the reservation, or
that part of it which they do not wish
to retain to be divided in severaltv.
Many of the Osages, says the Wash
ington Star, are highly educated, and
some of them enjoy all the luXuries of
modern civilization. There are sew
eral magnificent residences on the lit
tie reservation. Probably the most
imposing of these is that of Frank
Denoya, just completed. 1t is splen-
didly finished and furnished through
out. 1t is provided with hot and cold
water baths, and all other appoint
ments that are to be found in the bet
ter class of city homes. Servants are
employed to do all of the housework,
and an accomplished teacher is kept to
instruct the female members of the
family in music and other accomplish-
ments of polite society. AS fast as the
children complete the primary course
of education they are sent to the best
schools in the country to receive in
struction in the higher branches.
While Mr.. Denoya is still compara-
lively young man, he has family of
twelve children, each of whom receives
over thirty dollars month from the
general government. In addition to
this they receive rental for twelve
hundred acres of grass land. He has
inclosed and under cultivation one
hundred and sixty acres of fine val
ley land for each member of his family,
which earns yearly rental of three
dollars per acre. His income from all
sources amounts to more than twelve
thousand dollars per annum. He has
not dollar of tax to pay, and his chill
dren are educated without cost to him.
While there is every inducement for
the Osages to raise large families, the
tribe is steadily decreasing in num-,
bers, and it will be, it is said, but a
short time after they take their allot-
ment in severalty and break up tribal
relations before the race will be ex-
tinct. They do not work, and those
who have not improved their oppor-
tunity to adopt the mode of living of
their well-to-do white brothers are
vagabonds. The trade of the Osages Isl
much sought after by merchants Of
towns in the surrounding country.I
Before the opening of the Cherokee!
strip it all came to Arkansas City,
which was the nearest trading point,
but now no less than three towns have
been started whose only excuse for
their existence is their nearness to tho
Usage reservation.

Exposed tho Trick.

An amusing incident recently oc|
Cured at a town in the south of
France, during the visit of circus.
One of the chief attractions of the
show was troupe of performing dogs,
and, after they had gone through variI
GUS feats, their trainer announced that
Azor, the most accomplished of them
all, would favor the audience with q
piano-forte solo. Accordingly Azor
mounted the chair and struck up the
"Marseillaise." At this moment some
one in the audience shouted ''Ratsm and
Azor made one bound in the direction
of the cry. This created great laughS
ter, which doubled when it was no-
ticed that the piano went on playing
thus revealing the trick that had been
perpetrated.

''The people were reduced by poverty and
misery to the most degraded conditions of serf-

THE disintegration of society was almost COM

individual selfshness was the only thing consist

"Al public spirit all generous emotions, all the
noble aspirations of man shriveled and disap-
peared as the volume Of money shrank and
prices fell.
''History records no such disastrous transaction
as that from the Roman Empire to the dark ages -
This picture well illustrates the
power of money. And proves that
it eXerts more influence on society
than any other element. Any and

State is almost as nothing compared
with the taxation laid upon labor
by the manipulation of money. 1t

wealth out of the hand of industry
and place them in the hand of the
idle producer, and no form of
taxation which can be devised by

Useful Recipes,

CREAM FRITTERS.-Put one and
a half cups of milk into a double
kettle, scald and thicken with one
half cupful of flour, season with
nutmeg; when cold and solid, cut
into cubes, roll in beaten eggs and
then bread crumbs, and put into a
wire basket a few at time and
plunge into hot lard; sprinkle with
fine sugar and serve hot.
MUTTON NBRoTH.-Take the water
in which a leg of mutton or lamb
was boiled the previous day. Re-
move the fat, add an onion, turnip
and a carrot, all cut fine, salt to
taste, and half cup of rice. Boil
two hours, add little chopped
parsley about five minutes before
serving. Any little pieces of the
neck, ribs or shank will make ex-
cellent broth.
CHERRY TAPIOCA.-One and one
half pounds of sour cherries, one
cup of tapioca; sugar to taste.
Wash the tapioca through several
waters, then cover with cold water
and soak overnight. In the morning
put it on the fire with one pint of
boiling water, simmer slowly until
the tapioca is perfectly clear. Stone
the cherries, stir them into the
boiling tapioca, sweeten to taste.
Take from the fire, turn into the
dish in which they are to be served
and stand away to cool. Serve
very cold, with sugar and cream.
Drowned ToMAToEs.-Now that
tomatoes are becoming large and
finer, Drowned tomatoes will be
found very appetizing. Take large
round tomatoes and halve them,
place them, the skin side down, in
a frying pan, in which a very small
quantity of butter and lard have
been previously melted, sprinkle
them with salt and pepper, and
dredge well with flour. Place the
pan on hot part of the fire and let
them brown thoroughly; then stir
and brown again, and so on until
they are quite done. They lose
their acidity, and their flavor is
superior to stewed tomatoes.
BANANA CREAM PUDDING
Melt one cupful ofsugar in one pint
of hot milk. Mix two tablespoon
fuls of corn starch with cold milk,
stir it into the boiling milk, and
cook fifteen minutes; add two table
spoOnfuls of butter; beat the whites
of three eggs stiff, stir into the
thickened milk and cook again for
five minutes; turn into a deep dish
to cool. When ready to serve,
cover the cream with red bananas
sliced. Mix a few grains of salt
with half a cupful of powdered
sugar, and sprinkle this over the
bananas. Serve with cream and
jelly sauce made of one-quarter
cupful of apple or strawberry jelly
beaten into one cupful of thick
cream.

Canoes of Florida Indians.

The Indians of southern Florida who
navigate Lake Okeechobee, have an in.
genious device that steadies their long
narrow canoes in the shallow but
often fiercely troubled waters of the
lake. Each canoe has projecting
cornice, so to speak, above the bow,
SO that the waves, instead of dashing
over the craft, lift it high ont of
water at the PROV. The canoe is ad-
mirably adapted for its purpose, be.
ing light, swift, and yet roomy. II

THE household.

A British medical paper says:
"The only way to drink coffee in
large draughts is to make a small
quantity of strong coffee and add to
it an ample amount of hot milk.
A new and pretty bodice for
simple wear is made of white India
silk. 1t is made with the outside
shirred in at the waist line over a
fitted lining. The neck is cut some
what low, and there are full ruffles
or ruchings of silk and a tiny edge
of soft lace.
The latest fad in mems dress is
to have the skirts of the long frock
coats lined with silk that rustles.
In some instances fashionable tailors
are puttinga certain kind of material
between the silk and the cloth to
supply the "swish" when the silk
doesn't sufficiently rustic.
Fanciful arrangements of turned
over collar and revers are among
the new things. Some of these
collars are cut in deep points, others
are in deep scallops, others are over
Tapped like shingles on the edges
and others have the points turned
back and faced with some contrast
ing color.
Salt, if moistened with a little
lemon juice, removes fruit stains
from the hands. Lemon juice and
salt will also take out the spots of
iron rust which sometimes appear
in calico, linen and muslin. The
articles should be exposed to the
air and sunlight after being well
saturated with the mixture. Salt
of lemon or vinegar will take ink
stains from floors and wood.
There is a good deal of talk about
a new style of whalebone which is
made by soaking leather in some
liquid and drying it under pressure.
This is all very well for some pur-
poses, but most expert dressmakers
soak the whalebones before putting
them into the waist, and stitch them
through and through. Arranged
in this way they never slip and are
every way more desirable. But
those of leather cannot be so treated.
1t is now universally admitted
that the only way to prevent decay
of the teeth is to use frequently a
good antiseptic lotion. The follow
ing is among the best: Take of car
bolic acid fifteen grains, boric acid
seven drachms, thymol eight grains,
essence ofpeppermint twenty drops,
tincture of anise two and a half
drachms, water two pints. Mix.
Rinse the mouth and brush the
teeth with an equal portion of this
lotion and water night and morning
or after each meal.
To remove mildew from linen or
Gotten: Wet the fabric in soapsuds
and spread it on a dish, or on the
grass in the sun. Then mix equal
quantities of soft soap and pulver-
lied chalk, and spread this over
the mildew. The sun of one hot
day will generally remove it; if it
does not, put the cloth in soapsuds
over night, and repeat the chalk and
soap every morning until the mildew
is gone. Another way is to soak
the spots in buttermilk, and spread
the linen on the grass in a strong
sunshine.

should give it to the firemen.

DEAD WITH HER CATS.
Eccentric Old Lady Found With a
Rope Around Her Neck.

EGSCtGt 70 CC CtfstJ ~ -fSWc'
RED BANK, Jan. II, 1S94-The dead body
of Mrs. Anna Fowler, an old resident Of
Keyport, was found yesterday in her house
by George Anderson. a neighbor.
Anderson for several days had noticed that
the door of the house wa partly open, and
to satisfy his curiosity he peeped inside. The
body of the aged woman lay on the floor
near a chair in which she had been in the
habit of sleeping. Two dead cats lay near
the body, and on the chair was part OF a raw
chicken, and a knife and fork. The raw
flesh of the fowl had evidently been eaten by
the woman. A small rope was loosely tied
around her neck, an evidence she had prob
ably intended to commit suicide.
Anderson reported the facts to Coroner
John j. Sickles, who was told that Mrs.
Fowler was a very eccentric woman n in
clined to be miserly. Evidences of her
eccentricities were found about the house.
A stove which had not been used was
wrapped in white paper. The furniture was
in a dilapidated state. In a bureau drawer
were found two rolls of velvet and two
pieces of costly sick, and a trunk contained
many silver articles, such as spoons, knives,
forks, etc. There was. beside, a barrel of
crockery, also wrapped in paper.
The Overseer of the Poor of the tow was
instructed to take charge of the body. Mrs.
Fowler was about eighty years old, and it is
said that her only living relative is a second
cousin.

Big FIRE IN BAYOuNE
Poor Hebrew Families Forced
to Vaeate in Their Night
Clothes.

At half-past three o'clock this morning an
explosion occurred in the cellar of the three
story brick building Nos 20, % and "a East
Twenty-first street, Bayonne. TIL flames
caused by the explosion shot up through the
air shaft setting the whole rear section on
fire.
The building is seventy-five feet front by
eighty feet in depth. 1t is q combination
building. Three stores on the lowers floor,
eight sets of three rooms each on each OF
the other floors were occupied, with the ex-
ception of the centre store, and n set Of
rooms on the upper floor.
No. 20 was a shoe store belonging to
Samuel O'Vitch; the store No. "A was a
grocery store occupied by Joseph Jaffe.
With the exception of one family on the
upper floor, the people who occupied the
premises were Hebrews of the poorest class,
most of them being out of work. They
saved most of their household goods. The
people living in the rear barely escaped
with their lives. The wife of Rabbi Ebel-
man was carried across the street to an
other house with a two days old baby.
HIRE ALARM SENT OUT.
I The Bayonne department responded to the
alarm, and the companies near by were IN
able to control the flames. A second alarm
was sent out which brought out three of the
reserve companies. Half an hour after the
fire was discovered Chief Engineer Waters
sent out a third alarm which brought to the
fire every company in the city. The firemen
had a very hard and hot fight, and did not
get the flames under control until after six
O'clock. At times there was considerable
danger that the walls would fall. There were
only eight-brick walls with very little sup
port. To keep the crowd from the front of
the building the firemen had to turn the
hose on them two OF three times. The diff
Guilty which the firemen had with the fire
was due to the numerous air-shafts running
through the building, As fast as they could
get the fire under control in one part of the
building it would break out in another part.
Luckily there was very little wind at the
time, and that fact saved several other
wooden buildings across the street and
around it.
THE LOSS.
The house cost S14, 900 and was owned by
John and Joseph Rothstein. They run a
tailor's sweat shop. TIL Railway Building
and Loan Association nave a mortgage on
the premises. Only the grocer, shoemaker
and one tenant were insured. The whole
loss is footed up at about $20,0 600. The
building is thoroughly Quilted and may have
to be pulled down.

night, while the meeting was in progress,
and while Frank Anderson was speaking, a
row broke out in Jack Roberts saloon, which
adjoins the mission. There were sounds of
loud curses, smashing BOTTLES and cries, and
the door which is between the two places

AN UNHEALTHY SIGN.
London Press Comments ON Vail

LOndOn Press on Vail
lant,s Conviction.
By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Jan. IL. 1S94.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, commenting today on the verdict in
the case of Auguste Valiant, the French
Anarchist who was yesterday sentenced to
death for a premeditated attempt at ~assassi-
nation, he having thrown the bomb that
wounded so many persons in the Chamber of
Deputies at Paris, says it is significant of the
labbiness of the times that people should
praise the jTy's courage in rendering a YER
dict of guilty against Valiant, who confess
ssd and boosted of his crime. 1t is an I'M
healthy sign when a plain performance of
duty is applauded as courageous. This spirit
will not succeed in graphing with society's
enemies. Anarchists, by morbid vanity fed,
fancy themselves heroes in seeing regiments
of soldiers surrounding the court house in
which one of them is being tried.
The Westminster Gazette says that Vail
liant is a specimen of the modern type of the
literate criminal. He interlarded his an
swers to the judge with illusions to Darwin
and Spencer, whose teaching he pretended
to have translated when he fashioned his
bombs. His career was the result of criminal
instincts and the heredity ~environing him.
Education does not eradicate this faint.
