There is no good reason why every new
president should not issue an order re-
quiring all applications for office to he
made TO the proper executive departments
and serving notice that personal appeals
az the White House. except by senators
and representatives. will be ineffective. OF
course exceptions to this rule would save
to be made in the cases OF ambassador
ships. foreign ministers and certain other
appointments which come directly within
the province of the president himself. But
the line could be drawn and set forth In
pain English and with the right sort OF
management could be enforced. There Is
no more reason why the president of the
United States should have his time and
energies taken up by applications for en-
poyment In the minor classes OF the gov
eminent service than there is why the
president OF a railway company should
give personal attention to the hiring az
station agents. yardmon and freight clerks.

These ordeals OF the first few months Of
a new presidents life are enough to break
down the strongest man. They weary in
body and soul. They sap the nervous
forces and destroy vitality. They irritate
and upset and sadly interfere with. In fact,
almost preclude. careful and thoughtful
attention to important affairs Of state.
During the first three months of his term
President Harrison nearly broke down
under tho office seeking pressure. He
was. for one thing, compelled 10 stand so
much in receiving visitors that he was
troubled with pains in the small of his
back. President Harrison had a way of
Diminishing visitors rather shortly. some
times to their dissatisfaction. and he was
on the whole considered cod-blooded. but
even he grew irritable under the pres
sure. and many times broke out in ex-
CARNATIONS signifying the relief IL would
be We're he able to turn the office seekers
away and give a little time 10 the duties
% his office. President Cleveland had
the same experience. The wonder is that
the first three months of an administra-
ton do not kill half the presidents the
people take the trouble to send to the
White House.

Clothes Needed For an Ocean Voyage.

One NAV venture to refer to such clothes
as are put on at sea because that certainly
is not talking about the fashions. For
merly people wore their old things on ship
board and presented the general appear
ance of guys. This is still done with i'm
punity, but since the voyage has been cut
down to six days, half of which may be
spent in ones berth, less effort is made to
get little more wear out of we'll worn
garments. Knickerbockers and sweaters,
short skirts and CATERS, are rather smart
on deck, if the weather is fine. The aged
female sticks to her hood, and sometimes
the pretty ones as well. 1t is the most
suitable headgear for women at sea, for IL
defles the penetrating wind, and there GER
tainly is no comfort on deck unless one is
warm.
Gloves which come up high on the wrist
are Indispensable black coat and fair
linen on man at dinner respond suffi-
GENTLY to the very slight attempts at dress
ing which ladies deem i'll good taste. I'm
less one has sturdy stomach, diving into
trunk and making a toilet have dis
turbing effect. IL is on the homeward
voyage, when the ship is going to her pier,
that gay hats and pretty dresses make the
decks bright and when normal man re
turns to tall hats and new gloves and a
cane.-Lewis Morris Iddings in Scribner's 5.

HOW INDIANS ARE NAMED.
Titles Merely Incidental and Often Tenn
porary.

Titles Merely Incidental and often Tenn
porary.
As the Indian child grows he commits
acts from time to time each OF which gives
him new name For example,, he may
see bear and run screaming to the tepee
The folks all laugh at him, and call him
Runs from a bear. Later on he may be-
come the possessor Of an unruly pony
which he fears to ride and become known
as Afraid of his horse. Or, he may mount
a horse from which another Indian has
been thrown. and he then Is spoken of as
Rides the-horse. Farther on he becomes
great hunter and kills five bears, and they
call him Five-bears, and when he Stays an.
other his name changes to Six-bears. He
may perform a valiant deed In battle and
ride his horse through the camp of his en-
envy, for which he Is dubbed Charges
through-the-camp. During the conflict he
may kill one of the enemy. If his victim
Is the only one slain, he is called Kills the
enemy But If Others fall the one he has
killed must be described, as Kills-the-one
with-the big knee If he braids in his hair
yellow feather which he has plucked
from the tail Of an eagle, he may be called
Eagle-tail Eagle feather, Yellow tail or
Yellow feather. If he gives 1t to his friend
he will be named Gives-feather, but If he
refuses TO part with 1t his name will
change TO Keeps his-feather, Or he may
obtain his name from some other object
If he is accustomed to ride what Is COM
monty known as calico" horse, he may
be called Spotted horse, but If his horse
has short tail he will be known as Bob
| tail-horse. The chances are that he will
| be know by all the foregoing names His
enemies in the tribe will continue to speak
| of him as Long-ea Runs from "a bear, or
Afraid of his horse, while hrs friends will
| call him Rides the horse, Six bears OF
| Kills -the-enemy. For this reason II occurs
| that If you speak of the Indian In the pres
| ence of certain members of the tribe and
| call him Six bears they will laugh at you
| and say. THAT not his name; his name
| Runs from "a bear" But If you speak OF
| him to certain Others as Runs-from- "A bear
they will scowl and say, THAT not his
name; his name Kills -the-enemy.
Hence it will be seen that the Indian
| names are nothing, a delusion and snare,
! and the practice of converting them into
English appears eminently unwise. 1t is
| certain that the name on the roll at the
agency is the Interpretation of only one OF
| the Indians several names. A short
| Indian name in their own vernacular, or q

The Sturgeon River lumber company
from all accounts is IN much better shape
than when the management was ASSUMED
last fall by Trustee E. l.. Wright. Con-
seryative business methods have brought
order out OF confusion and the financial
affairs are much brighter. Loans to the
local banks have been taken up to con-
siderable degreeHand number OF ac-
counts charged to profit and loss
have been collected. The winters work
IN the woods was done well and the cut
was an average one. The larger part OF
the logs are now safely in boom after an
anxious week or soifor fear they might
be hung up. The first shipment by water
was part of the cargo OF the Nipigon
sold to Skilings, Whitney and Barnes.
