DISTRIBUTING SEED.
Over Twenty Million Packages Have
Bcen mt Out.

Over Twenty Million Packages Have
Been mt Out.
Over twenty million packages OF veg
etable, flower and field seed have been dis
tributed by the Department Of Agriculture
during the past spring. This Distribution
has given to each member of Congress
40, coo packages of seed at total cost OF
$3.50 900 Over a million of these packages
were flower seed, and nearly 100000 field
seed, the balance being great variety
of vegetables. In the entire distribution
nearly every variety of vegetable known to
the agriculturalists was distributed There
were 81 varieties of beans, 10 varieties OF
beets % varieties of cabbage IL varieties
of carrots 10 varieties of sweet corn, Is
kinds of cucumbers, 80 kinds of lettuce, III
varieties of muskmelons, II kinds OF water
melons and Is varieties of onions. The en-
tire amount of seeds distributed We're SUM-
Gle mt to plant an area of $3.50 square miles,
or about six times the size Of the District
OF Columbia.
This is the largest distribution of seed
ever attempted by the Department OF Agri-
culture, and it is said that seedmen all
over the country are complaining that they
do not make sales to farmers and others
because they are getting all the seed they
want free from the Department of Agri-
culture.
The distribution of seed in 1893 amounted
to $500 packages for each member of Con-
gress, at a total cost of $66, 5IS: in 1894
each congressman got 5000 packages, the
entire cost to the government being $5I 900;
in 1885 the Number of packages of seeds
distributed was the same as in the previous
year, but the total cost was reduced to S4I,-
600. In 1896 congressman got LOCO pack
ages each, and the government paid $50, 800
for the whole lot. During the past spring
each member of Congress has received
10000 packages of seeds, for which the gov
ernment has paid 100000.

FLEET EXERCISES,
ARRANGEMENTS for the Mancuyera q,
the North Atlantic Vessels

Arrangements are being made at the
Navy Department for the summer and fall
| maneuvers of the vessels of the North At
lantic squadron. There will be no extensive
movements, but they will be put through
a course of feet exercises lasting several
weeks. Seven armored ships will take part.
namely, the Massachusetts, the Iowa, the
indiana. the Maine, the New York, the
Texas and the Brooklyn. These ships will,
act together in one squadron. Most of the
drilling is expected to take place some
where off thet chesapeake capes.
IN addition to the fleet of ironclads there
VIII be torpedo boat fiotilla These little
noats this year will not cooperate with
the Meet of big ships, but will go throue h
e eI of7their own. They will scour
along the coast from New York down
Ward. and tbs hoped to get them well In
the mississippi river, where no warship save
the Ericsson on her way down from her
builders has been seen since the war. The
naval authorities intend that the peonle in
inc, the interior of the country shall see these
niue but dangerous craft, and that is one
OF the reasons why they will be sent I'D the
Mississippi. IT is hoped also to establish
me availability of the river as a base for
the action of such craft

cryatfOn Made Blind.

II.diank 81 the Nefmfllion Lake Res
crvatiOn Made Blind.
The COMMISSIONER Of Indian affairs has
learned OF a remarkable condition existing
on the Verznillion Lake reservation in Min
nesota. The Indians of this reservation,
like most of the I'd men. are fond of fire.
water. but. Nas on other reservations. it is
the duty Of the agent to see that they have
access to nothing that will cause intoxica-
ton. The inventlfe genius of the human
tribe can be1cal1df into power in no more
forcible manner Hhan by the cravings of
the stomach for LIQUOR. This has been
shown in the case Of the Indians. who are
veritable Yankees in inventing means for
getting drunk. The Indians of the Yer
million Lake reservation have discovered
that the essence of peppermint, dispensed
In little ounce bottles for the use of house
wives In the preparation of dainty pastry
and other edibles, will produce a glorious
exhilaration. The same effect can be Sc
cured with nearly all of the essences used
In the culinary art. But the essence of
peppermint especially has most disastrous
effect upon the eyesight, and the result of
Its use by the vermillion Lake reservation
Indians Is that several Of them, while in
the prime of health, became totally blind
as the result of a single spree. John Sky,
aged forty. an Indian buck of athletic pro-
portions, lately went on a peppermint
drunk. After he had been under the in
: huence of this essence a number of hours
ne complained that objects about him ap-
peared to be a long way off, and that the
sun was losing its power. He was told
that 1t was midday, but he complained that
IT was getting darker and darker. The op-
TIC nerve was shattered. John Sky has ever
since lived in total darkness.
another case Is that of Red Otter aged
1orty-hve, and in perfect health. Red OF
ter with two other Indians, went into the
Forest with two dozen bottles of essence
OF peppermint, which their squaws would
nave priced for fiayoring sweet bread. The
three bucks proceeded to flavor themselves
win the peppermint. 1t was night and Red
outer called upon his companions to know
what had become of the moon and where
all the stars had gone. He was told that
the moon and the stars were shining in the
heavens, but all was darkness to him. He
FAD 1mb1bed of the peppermint more freely
~ blind. Two other Indians of the reserva-
ton are partially blind from the same
cause, and the Indian agent has written to
the department to know If he will be al
lowed money with which to take these
blind red men to st. Paul, where their eyes
may be examined with view to restoring
their sight.
1t Is said that the Indians not only get
drunk on cooking essences, but they have
even resorted to red ink in order to get in
toxlcated. In some cases they have been
known to drink the alcohol in which nat
urai specimens have been preserved. In
fact, so dear to the red man is the effect
OF firewater that he will resort to almost
any expedient in order to enjoy the rare
pleasure of a jag.

Costa Rican Coin.
From the Philadelphia Record.

1t is not generally known that the United
States mints make money for other nations,
as well as for our own. The mint In this
city, which has just finished making half
million dollars in ive-dcllar gold pieces for
Costa Rica, has begun work on 100000 sill
yer dollars for San Domingo. The designs
on the coins are often ideas of the govern
ments which send the orders. and are got
ten up in such way as to make limitations
as difficult as possible for the counter
feiter. The coin is shipped In bags to New
York, where 1t Is carried to Its destination
on the regular line steamers. The report
given by the mint as to the amount of
preciois metal used is never questioned by
the foreigners. 10y =
