Nevada with her magnificent permanent

a law would not only be %expedient but
.eminently wise. The law of 1898 requir-

We publish the following at the re-

OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.
WARRINGTON, D. c., Dec. p, 1894.
To agents and Bonded School Superin-
tendents:
Your attention is invited to the ben
effts accruing to Indians OF both sexes
by placing them at service, although it
be for a few months only, in families oil
farmers-the girls and women sharing
in all the domestic duties of the family
life, cooking, sewing, dairying, garden
ing, etc. and the boys and men in the
farming, gardening, care of stock, etc.
While thus employed they learn the
English language and become self re-
liant, and through the small wages
which they receive learn the value OF
money and its proper use. Always pro-
vided that thrifty, reputable, well-regu.
lated families are selected who will take
a kindly interest in the training of their
Indian inmates, these lessons of how to
make a livelihood and a home on a small
scale can thus be incomparably better
taught han in any large institution
with its iron-clad routine and en- masse
appliances. The day is not far distant
when government support must be with
drawn from the Indians now receiving
aid, and like their white brethren they
will have to depend upon their WI ex-
ertions for their living. 1t is, therefore,
increasingly important that they should
be learning how to support themselves
by intelligent labor in civilized ways.
To this end | am of the opinion that
in many localities this system can, with
great profit, be largely extended, and
that it car be applied not only to pupils
but also to adult Indians.
You will please give this matter your
early and careful attention, with refer
ence to Indians OF ysur agency and
school. You will endeavor to find suit
able families who will receive Indians
in their homes and give them kind treat
ment and practical training in everyday
duties; also seek out worthy Indians
and urge them to avail themselves OF
such opportunities, and explain to them
their nature and value. If practicable,
arrangements should be made to have
boys and girls attend public schools
during the winter months. Upon re-
ceipt hereof you will please commune
cate to this Office your views as to the
feasibility of carrying out these suggest
ions among the Indians of your agency
and school, and state what steps yor
purpose to take in furtherance of this
plan.
Yours respectfully,
ID. M. BROWNING.

A Fircproof Paias.


The interior of buildings might be
made much less infammable by coating
the woodwork with fireproof paint. F.
II. George makes these statements in a
London paper regarding this subject:
II find that painting woodwork of any
kind with several coats of solution of
silicate Of soda and finishing with O
mixture of this solution and sufficient
common whiting to make it about as
thick as ordinary paint is an excellent
protection against fire. Wood treated
in this way will not take fire from
mere contact with fiame-it requires
to be heated till destructive distillation
begins. Then Of course gases are given
out which ignite, and the wood is
gradually converted into charcoal, but
till destructive distillation takes place
the coated wood will not support COM
bustion. A few years since | had some
screens made like ordinary doors, some
prepared as ! have described and some
not. They were then placed over a fire
of shavings, which was kept constantly
renewed. In ten minutes the unprepared
screens were blazing away and so near
ly consumed that they had to be sup
ported by an iron bar. The flames con-
tinued to lick the prepared screens for
30 minutes before tho d"istillation COM
menced. After 40 minutes the coated
screens were still intact and able to
support themselves. They held together
for an hour, although pierced in many
places with holes, and when the fire
was removed they did not continue to
burn. This was a splendid success, and
| still have the remains of the screens.
The experiments were made at my sug-
gestion for the managers of the Liver
pool Philharmonic society, and the
woodwork of their splendid hall at Liv-
erpool was treated in this manner"

Some Shrubs for Florida, No. 3.

What the Lilac is to the North-and es-
pecially to New England-the Grape
Myrtle Nagerstremia Indica) is to the
whole lower South. 1t thrives anywhere
and everywhere, no matter how poor the
soil or dry the situation, and blooms all
summer long. In rich soil, with age, it
not lnfrequently assumes the proportions
of tree thirty or more feet high, with
trunk diameter of perhaps foot. But as
usually seen it is about the size of an old
Lilac. and is equally as we'll able to take
care of itself, being content with any out
of-the.way corner and no cultivation what
ever.
Of the one species Qndica) common IN
the South there are four varieties as far as
color of flowers are concerned, though they
vary little if any in other points, light
pink (the typical FORM scarlet, purple and
pure white. Of these the pink and purple
are most common. the scarlet more rare,
and the white exceedingly so though it is
exquisitely beautiful, equally easy to grow
and is claimed to be even harder than the
pink. Unlike many white flowers which
become pinkish before fading, this con-
tinues pure, clear white to the end. They
are especially beautiful when cut and
mingled with other flowers and green fill

Weeping Trees for characterization.

Weeping trees are graceful in outline,
elegant in growth, impressive and attrac-
tive in appearance and possess all those
characteristics which render them espe-
cialIy valuable for the establishment of
landscape, park and lawn. This peculiar
ity of form among weeping trees is a
precious one, inasmuch as the contrast be-
tween the rigid upper portion of the tree
and the pendulous and outer and lower
parts form very striking and attractive
feature, quite distinct from the aspects US
ually presented by other trees. But for
all this they require to be employed dis
creetly. or the good effect which they are
capable of producing is destroyed. They
should be planted sparingly and not near
one another, and carefully selected and
suitable sites must be chosen for them, or
half their charms will be lost; when met at
every turn or too often repeated, their in
terest and attraction are greatly diminished.
They should never form large groups or

terminate in dense racemes of tubular. or

actually glow among the dark shining
foliage. If furnished with support it will
climb freely and is fine for training in front
of pazzas in this climate, as it is ever

it may be trained as a shrub by not fur

A Lesson from Nature,

By observing natures methods many a
lesson may be learned. A cactus leaf is
broken off by the wind, and falls to the
ground where it lies partly imbedded in
the soil which the rain washes upon it.
After short time it assumes the shape of
a boat, and catches water for future
USE
Now if you were to lift this leaf and ex-
anime it, you would find thread like root
lets which had been sent down into the
earth in search of nourishment Around
the edge of the leaf new leaves are soon
growing, and presently we have formid-
able plant, which may be divided into as
many plants as there are new leaves.

Tropical Effects,

rOH THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
Tropical Effects.
We all love the magnifcence of the
tropics. The rank luxuriance of growth
and brilliancy of bloom, appeal to us as
nothing else ever does. In our lovely sub
tropical Florida it is easy with a little care
to produce the most beautiful effects of
this kind.
A large bed of tropical-looking plants
and flowers, will be a source of never end
ing delight not only to yourself, but to all
your friends and neighbors. l have seen
these beds in climates where such plants
could only be left out of doors during the
summer months, but down here, always
supposing our winters are the regulation
old Florida winters and not like the
phenomenal one we have just experienced,
such bed could grow and flourish all the
year round and only become the more
beautiful season after season,
First select the richest spot on your
lawn, and if it happens to be rather low
and damp, but not marshy, SO much the
better. Then have the ground we'll spaded
up with plenty of old thoroughly rotted
stable manure. Now take clump of big
rank growing banana plants. and place in
the centre Around these group some of
the taller growing old fashioned cannas
Then a generous supply of the drawf
come the Gladioli and tube-roses in as
great profusion as your pocket book will
permit. But these bulbs are not expensive
and although their blooming season is q
short one while they do last they add very
materially to the beauty of the general eff
feet
Now border all this with as many lilies
as you can beg, borrow. or steal" The
beautiful red lilies that do SO we'll in Flor
ida, must have a prominent place. Have
plenty of the fragrant milk and wine, the
White Spider, and not forget ting the
Japanese pink Spider lily, which will give
you blossoms in the fall Then the pure,
sweet Easter lily, and the dainty little
fairy lilies.
By having as great variety as possible
the blooming season of one will succeed
another, and when all else fails the Mad
anne Crozy will always be to the front with
its brilliant fame-like blossoms
Now all these plants love lots of water
and must have it. Whenever the hired
man has a few 'of" hours make him soak
the whole bed with weak liquid manure.
Soapsuds are also good.
On these two essentials, water and liquid
fertilizers, will depend that lush and ram
pant foliage growth, which is the most
important beauty of successful tropical
effects. E. PRICE

the flowers are crimped and rufaed, look
ing like delicate Grape, hence the common
name, and the panicles are larger than
those of the Lilac. For weeks during
summer the plants continue in the full
glory of their gorgeous robing, often mark
ing the site of some long abandoned home,
where everything except these sturdy
shrubs has succumbed in natures valiant
struggle to reinstate herself.
Although native of Southern China, the
Grape Myrtle is hardy as far North as
Baltimore. Maryland, and Bowling Green,
Kentucky AT the latter place there are
bushes which have been in the open ground
for several years, and near the garden
gates of private place in Northumber-
land county, Va. is pair of Grape Myrtles
that are twenty-seven feet high. 1t is not
always killed down even so far North as
Philadelphia, specimen five or six feet
high being reported, which must have
passed several winters unharmed and on
Long Island, N. Y, it has been kept out of
doors over winter under hogshea4 or
barrel with heavy mulching around it.
But though usually killed to the ground
around Philadelphia, the roots survive and
it shoots up and blooms beautifully the
same season like herbaceous plant; and
Mr. Thomas Meehan suggests that possibly
it would give an attraction to gardens, in
this herbaceous way, much further North.
1t is thus grown in some places in New
Jersey, but wherever the tops winter-kill
the safest and most satisfactory way to
treat it is to cut back a little in late fall,
lift and plant in box or heel in a pit on
cellar over winter, and plant out again the
following spring. Treated in this manner
the plant will flower profusely during mid
summer anywhere in the North.
A deservedly favorite shrub in Florida
gardens is Tecoma STAINS, locally known a.
Yellow Elder and, more rarely, as Yellow
Bignonia. 1t is a magnificent shrub be-
longing to the BignonIa family, very quick
growing and in manner of growth and
foliage bearing general resemblance to
the Elder of the North. Like the Grape
Myrtle, it will luxuriate here in poor and
dry soil, frequently making growth of
eight or ten feet the first year and finally
attaining height of twenty or more feet.
with corresponding breadth The latter
part of November or the first of December
it suddenly bursts into ''gl Tory of golden
yellow flowers" which are large, tube or
thimble shaped and borne in great panicles
which completely cover the plant, often
weighing the lower branches to the ground.
No pen can adequately describe nor i'm
agination truthfully picture the wondrous
spectacle of large specimen of this shrub
in full bloom.
1t is highly valued in this State as a
screen for unsightly fences, buildings, ETC.,
owing to its rapid growth and dense mass
of foliage from the ground up. If cut
down by frost it sprouts readily from the
roots and blooms the same season. think
it would prove favorite half-hardy shrub
at the North where it could be grown in
large pot, tub or box on the piazza or
lawn during summer and early fall. Re-
moved to the house at the first signs of
frost, its flowers would light up the room
