PauiNN Off the Ia NdiGMR.

On Friday last we received dis
patches announcing that the checks
for the payment of the Nez Perce
Indians would be mailed from
Washington the following day,
Saturday. and that a company Of
troops from Fort Walla Walla had
been ordered to Lapwai to remain
on the reservation for the ensuing
80 days, with orders to eject any
and all intruders. The troops ar
rived at Lapwai last Sunday and
are camped at the agency. The
checks arrived yesterday and the
Indians are being paid off as rap
idly as possible. If ever the In
dams needed friends they need
them now, for the total payments
aggregate nearly $750,000. IF
they are wise and retain possession
of their money, spending it only
for what they need and can afford,
the country will be materially ben
Gifted; but if they proceed to
throw it at the birds, the sharpers
and bunko men will skin them out
of it and then skip the country
with their ill-gotten gains. There
is a large floating population OF
this disreputable element assem-
bled in the country bordering on
the reserve for the express purpose
of swindling the poor Indian, and
it is devoutly to be hoped that the
soldiers will bayonet few of them
and the Indians scalp the rest if
they attempt any thimble-rig busi-
ness.
The proclamation of the presi-
, dent opening the surplus lands on
:, the reserve to white settlement is
, not expected until October and il
= may and in all probability will be
!, delayed until next summer. These
:, Indians have influential friends in
!. Washington who are not desirous
that they should be brought int
contact with the new element in
our population as soon as they arr
D paid off; and consequently thert
s is every reason to expect that tn
i settlement of the reservation will
n be delayed as long as practically
IS to prevent Indian decentralization

IMPRESSION.

In these restrained and careful times
Our knowledge petrifies our rhymes
All! for the reckless fire men had
When it was witty to be mad.
When wild conceits were piled in
scores.
And lit by faring metaphors,
When all was crazed and out of tune.
Yet held the music of the moon.
If we could dare to write as i'll
AS some whose voices haunt us still,
Perhaps even we might call our own
Their deep enchanting undertone.
We are too diffident and nice,
Too learned, and too oYer-wise,
Too much afraid Of faults, to be
The flutes of bold sincerity.
For, as this sweet life passes by.
We blink and nod with critic eve;
We've no words rude enough to give
Its CHARM SO frank and fugitive.
The green and scarlet of the mark.
The undulating streets at dark.
the brown smoke blown across the
blue.
This crowded city we walk through
| The pallid faces full of pain,
The field smell of the passing vain.
| The laughter, longing, perfume, strife
The daily spectacle of life:
All! how shall this be given in rhyme
By rhymesters of knowing time?
All! for the age when verse was glad
Being godlike, to be bad and mad.
! Edmund GoSse.

THE VALUE OF APPLES.

People who lead indoor lives have
VIGOROUSLY bad livers. Unless that
organ gets systematic shakings it be-
comes sluggish, the skin turn a green
ISL yellow or blotches, the brain, hav.
ing an impure blood supply, gets lazy,
and health declines. The Norsemen
called the apple flood for the gods,''
and used it to renew the strength of
the hody and mind. There is not
only lime, albumen, fbrin, acid and
water in the fruit, that the system
rapidly assimilates, but the large
amount of phosphorus stimulates the
nerves. That's what the women who
stay at home and the people who are
tied to grindstones of factory and of.
fee life need-nerve food.

THE EDIBLE FROG.
In Defiance of St Patrick He Pros
pered in Irish Marshes,

The edible frog is found in England
though, as it was first noticed in Foul
ness Mere in 1913, it is probably. saws
the London Telegraph an introduction
from the continent. In the course OF
the last fifty years attempts have been
made to naturaliZe it in various parts
Of the south of England, but without
much success. Nor has any better
fortune attended the Involuntary i'm
migrants placed IN Irish marshes

mon brown frog has proSpered since
1896, in spite Of the popular legend
touching st. Patrick and his curse. Ii
Of the edible frog to the south of Eng
land. The climate is much the same
as that of northern France, and con-
sequently the theory that its tadpole
cannot undergo full development dur
ing the dry summer, before the adj
vent of autumnal cold, must be un-
founded. At all events, it ought to
flourish in Bedfordshire Even for
decorative purpose some Of it's kin
dred are worth acclimatizing. The
American bullfrog, with a cape wide
enough to swallow a chicken, or the
unsightly Austrian Alytes, the male
of which bears the females eggs on
his thighs, would perhaps not be ac-
ceptable introductions. But the beauti-
full tree frogs, one of which-the Euro
pean Hyla-is kept in Germany as a
living barometer, sinking and rising
in the water as rain or drought, is
approaching, ought to be unobjection-
able The lovely striped species Of the
north African mountain streams,
which it inhabits in company with a
trout, would be ;drcely hardy enough,
but the leopard frog of the United
States might, with a little care, soon
form an interesting addition to our
ponds, and, supplemented
by the green ''esculenta," impart the
contrast Of color to the homelier

Her fancy and amuse.

Might write just as 1 pleased:
And then she dropped her head AM

And II knew she leased.

SENATOR WOLCOTT'S NERVE.
Three Card Sharpers Play Him a Lit
tie Game to His Own Satisfaction.

81 suppose Senator Wolcott is one
of the coolest men living when en-
gagged in a game of chance" said AL
bert Watson, of Denver, who was
one Of a party of gentlemen at the
Cochran yesterday.
Like most men whose early man
hood has been spent on the frontier,
he learned the value Of a poker hand
and the best way to keep cases as
soon as he learned law, and he was
known as a limit player all over
Colorado before his fame as lawyer
had spread outside of Denver. When
playing faro he always did, and does
yet, bet as much on the turn of card
as the dealer will allow him to, and
other people want to keep their eyes
wide open and play their cards mighty
close up to their chests. WalcOtt once
found himself in game of poker
where three of the other players were
playing sure game.
They were professionals, and were
after d big bundle of money that he
had in his possession, as we'll as look
ing for that which the fifth player, a
mining operator named Durkin, was
known to have. WOlcott knew in
twenty minutes after the first hand
was dealt that the intention was to
rob him, and wearied his wits trying
to find way to get out Of the game
without making trouble, but he could
not discover a means to save him. At
last he was dealt pat flush of di-
Almonds, made up of the tive, seven,
eight, nine and jack. He skinned those
cards over and did a mighty piece of
thinking. He felt in his bones that a
flush would be of no account in the
world when it came 10 a show down,
but he Clipped in and stayed to draw
| cards.
To his surprise he wasn't raised be-
! fore the draw. He looked over his
bright red diamonds again and con.
Guided to draw a card, in order, ii
| possible, to straighten the sequence
He pondered a long time between dis
carding the five spot or the picture
and at last tossed away the jack and
| called Tor a card. Inc dealer looked
surprised at his wanting any, but gave
him the card. Wolcott picked it VI
and found he had gotten the six spol
of diamonds. He never turned a hair
1.-The betting began, and he nurseG
| his sequence of diamonds and JUS
stayed along, letting the other fellow
do the raising. At last it got dowI
to Wolcott and one of the profession
ais. Finally there was call, and tn,
other man showed the four queens
Wolcott laid down the five, six, seven
eight and nine Of diamonds and sweep
in the pot. The game stopped righ
there. | reckon that was the creates
piece Of luck that any man ever nae
in poker game Washington Star.

The most remarkable creature in the
world is the hydra. 1t does not amount
TO much physically, for it is nothing
but a sack, open at one end, and fas-
tened by the other to a stone, but 1t
is almost impossible to kill il. Turn a
hydra inside out, and it will get along
just as well as before. Trembley, the
French naturalist, cut hydras in
slices, and each, in a few days, became
a full-grown animal. He grated them,
and produced monsters with six
mouths and only one body. He di-
vided them longitudinally, and pro-
duced cluster of hydras. He found
this creature is superior even to de-
composition, for when a part of a
hydra's body decays, it throws it off
and replaces it as a mat ter of course.

MORE LIKE GENERAL GRANT.
A Chicago View of Tammany's Great
est Leader

1t is noticed that Richard Croker is
aging very rapidly. His hair is almost
snow-white and there are white
patches in his coal-black beard.
The change in his appearance has
been marked during the past six
weeks, and particularly since the death
of his mother, of whom he was par
ticularly fond, writes the New York
correspondent of the Chicago Mail.
The black clothes which he wears
accentuates the contrast of his white
hair. In appearance and manner he
bears a strong resemblance to the way
General Grant looked in the later
years Of his life.

New York, Jan. 12-Bradstreet's
weekly report says the second week of
the new year brings reports of an in
creaSing volume of orders for season
able goods. The weather conditions
in the east are favorable, those west
and south the reverse. Chicago, st.
Louis, Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia report relatively the greatest
Improvement, with increased orders
for dry goods, clothing, rubbers, shoes
hardware and wooden dress goods.
Western furniture manufacturers are
stocking up, which has had an infiu-
ence on the hardwood trade The
production Of iron and steel is going
on in excess of the demand, but man
ufacturers expect the necessary re-
pairs, renewals and additions to their
plants by industrial enterprises will
soon have a stimulating influence.
The feature among jObbers at Phil
adelpllia and Boston has been the ex-
tent to which dry goods and shoes
4 have been pushed. Prints and ging-
hams have been opened and new or
dress goods were active, going to all
parts of the country. Not a few re-
orders are already received. This has
had a quieting effect ON the demand
for domestic uresS wOOlenS. Mercan-
tile collections in the south and in the
central west are reported fairly salts

On the Pacific coast trade at most of
the larger cities is quiet. Prices for
shoes, leather, coal, lumber, naval
stores, rice, sugar, tobacco and live
cattle have been held firmly Wool is
fiat at the lowest quotations known,
while the prices of cows and hogs
have declined. The total gross rail
road earnings for 1894 were the most
nnfavorable for many years. The
earnings of la leading American
lines amount to S47S,OOO,OOO, II per
cent. less than in 1893, in which year
! the gross earnings fell off 81 per cent
from the total in 1892, when there
was a gain in the gross earnings of j
per cent, as contrasted with 1891.
The best available data with respect
! to the size Of the domestic wheat crop
in 1893 and 1894, together with sup.
plies in sight make it plain that the
total wheat supplies in the United
States on January 1, 1895, were 1S,.
100000 smaller than the year previous
! and the stocks back of the available
supplies were fully 34,OOO,OOO bushels
smaller. The supplies of available
wheat III the United States, Canada
and Europe, cut of producers hands
and afioat for Europe from all ex
porting countries, together with those
in Australia, furnish a total of 1871.
