"The women of the West are saw

ference between an Indian who puts
war feathers in his hair and woman
who puts feathers and flowers in her
hat?"
These words fell like a bombshell on
the recent woman's congress at San
Francisco, says the Examiner, where
their author had been coddled and
lionized with the admiring Difference
which impressionable women are prone
to pay to handsome young men who
wear a strange garb and an air of ro-
nance and mystery.
To say that the women were startled
when Bramacharin Bobha bhiskshu, the
Hindoo hero, opened his walls of wrath
upon them is putting it mildly. He
said the congress was a humbug and
the women were insincere. You build
fine churches" he said, but merely
through vanity. You go to church to
display your clothes. The religious
motive is lacking. You put fine or
gans in the churches, and the aim is to
have the best and biggest organ, in or
der to draw the biggest crowd. These
things are not so in India. Whatever

Brooke is one of the ablest and most

unteer in 1861, when he was % years
old, and was with Hancock's gallant
corps through all the hard fights of the
Army Of the Potomac from Bull Run
to Cold Harbor, where he was wound
ed. His rank on entering the army was
that of captain of volunteers. and when
he retired it was brigadier general. His
brave service through the civil war
won for him the appointment of lieu
tenant colonel in the regular army and
he was sent West to guard the frontier.
His promotions came regularly until in

Washington, July Much attention
has been paid recently by the general
land Office to the preparation Of rules

Commissioner Hermann has now formd-
lated these for the approval of the secre-
tary of the interior.

mitted. Lands for school houses and
churches are provided and waters for DO
nestle, mining milling and irrigation pur-
poses are also allowed The construction
of wagon roads is authorized and the
right of way across the reserves for irri-
eating canals, bitches, fumes and reser-
voirs is permitted.
The mineral lands of the forest re-
serves are subject to location and entry
under the mining laws in the usual man
ner. The makers of mining locations are
authorized to fell and remove from their
