Tho work Of Indians.

In a report on the ditching or irriga-
ton work OF the Crow reservation from
Superintendent Graves, it is said that
about 65 per cent. of the work has been
done by the Indians, and from 10 to Is
per cent. by whites intermarricd in the
tribe. Logging is an important indus
try on some reservations. For example,
the Menomonees alone cut and banked
l7,o0o, 900 feet OF logs last winter. One
source of Indian occupation not yet
mentioned is the show business. Per-
missions are generally refused to take
Indians for this purpose, but it was
different when Buffalo Bill Cody and
his partner, Nate Salisbury, applied.
and last spring they received the right
to take 100 redskins from the Dakotas,
New Mexico and Oklahoma, giving n
bond OF $4,000 for the purpose. A
privilege to take 100 Indians on SIM
liar bond was also given to the 20
ol.,Cical society of Cincinnati for ex-
hibitions in that place.-N. Y. Sun.

Becoming to . Widow.

For widows weeds nothing will be
found the equal of crepon. Itwas made
primarily for mourning, and nothing
has been found better. It has the
crinkled appearance Of crepe without
being as crushable. A widows gown
of crepon was made princess shape,
front and back. The sleeves were
dropping and full, and on the shoulders
were double capes of the chiffon, each
cape edged with white taffeta ribbon.
The waist has a yoke outlined with
taffeta. The ribbon came to points in
the front. At the lowest point a little
bolero jacket opened into lapel and
was finished with a border of the taffeta.
To make the waist very slender q
point of taffetA was brought down a
little below the waist line. A widows
costume, being oil Of black and white,
will stand deal OF fussinese that would
not be becoming to other materials.-

California Imports Products That Should
Come from the State Itself.
In the second list are many of the
commonest articles of consumption,
which California might readily produce
at home, but for which it sends mil
lions of dollars abroad each year. The
imports of pork and its products range
as high as S8,00o,o00 or S10,0O0,0O0
each year. Condensed milk is not only
a very important article of consump-
ton in mining camps and great
r; nchcs, but is largely shipped abroad
for the Asiatic trade. 1t is brought
across the continent from New Jer-
sey. California also sends beyond its
bertlers from $2o,oo0,O 900 to s25,00O,-
900 annually for the item OF sugar,
which should not only be produced in
sufficient quantities to supply CON-
sumption, but for export as well.
It is a curious fact that many Of the
fir est fruit preserves sold in San Fran
cisco bear French and Italian labels,
and that the supply of canned sweet
corn comes mostly from Maine. Es-
sential oils made from the peelings of
citrus fruits are also imported. It Is
not uncommon to find orange marina
lede which has been prepared IN
Rochester, n. Y, tho oranges having
been shipped eastward. and the manu-
factured product westward, at cost
Of two transcontinental freights. Inn
ports are by no means confined to
things which require capital and ma
chinery for their manufacture. Chick
ems, turkeys and eggs ore largely
brought from outside. A single COM
mission house in San Francisco i'm
ports 5O0,ooO,000 chickens every year.
Thus q good many thousands of the
new settlers can proftably be employed
in feeding much of the present popula-
ton of the state, which includes large

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Wonderful Results from Hot AIR ExpoSa-
ments In Phnadelphia.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned from a new method of treating
rheumatic affections which has just
been tried in this city before the coun-
ty medical society.
The method consists in the local ap-
plicaton of hot air to the parts affected.
The apparatus by which this is accom-
plished consists of copper cylinder.
under which several gas jets are kept
burning. Into this cylinder the limb
is inserted and the ends are closed.
Stop-cocks ART arranged to let out
moisture exuding from the skin, and
the temperature is raised to $50 to 26O
degrees. Precautions are taken to pre-
vent the limb from coming in contact
with the hot metal, and the application
is continued for fully 40 minutes.
Two patients were brought in for the
experiment. One was a man who had
been under the care of physician, who
was present, for several months, and
had been gradually growing worse.
He was unable to move his toes or his
ankle, and any motion of the limb
caused excruciating pain. At the end
of 40 minutes, during which time his
temperature was raised nearly two de-
grees, as shown by the mouth ther-
mometer, and his pulse increased about
Is beats per minute, the limb was taken
out of the cylinder; the patient moved
his toes as freely as does child, bent
his ankle without difficulty and walked
with ease, feeling no pain. Other
rheumatic pains in other portions OF
the body had also disappeared.
The second patient was negro who
was suffering from q long-continued
lumbago, and who uttered many groans
as he was being placed on an apparatus
which inclosed his back. He was also
subjected to the heat for 40 minutes,
and when told to rise he sat up as read
lily as when in perfect health. The
temperature in the first case was from
248 to 25O degrees Fahrenheit.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor that these
men would probably be better in the
morning than they appeared to be when
the experiment closed, and that in most
cases one application is sufficient.
Where extensive deposits had been
made several applications were neces-
sary to remove them. The system has
been in use in the principal hospitals
of London with wonderful success.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor tha.
this method dissolved and carried
off the deposits upon the bones and in
the muscles, and that this effect ex-
tended in greater or less degree to
the whole body. The apparatus used is
now for the first time brought to the
notice of the medical fraternity OF this
country.-Ph Press.

Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon closed its

up until they were about 16 or 90 feet
above the ground. when they scattered

Raising Pheasants Il . New Fad with
Millionaires-
Raising peacocks and pheasants Is .
new business in this country. To sup

aires are importing birds and eggs from
England.
George Vanderbilt is among the num-
Der. He has already lot of peacocks
of the breed curiously called "japanned''
perhaps because their feathers have
a metallic, lacquer-like glittering. They
arc often wrongly spoken of as the
Japanese or Japan peacock. Theodore
Have,neyer has recently imported lot
# pheasant eggs OF the choicest breed.
JIc sent them to his model farm, Nah
yah, n. j., and then invited company
of bantam hens to hatch out the young
birds.
Peacocl1s, although not o common
sight in this country, are occasionally
seen; pheasants are even more rare
but, as already said, q demand has
arisen for them and lucrative busi-
ness should be carried on in dealing
with both the eggs and the birds.
In Suffolk, England, there is pheas-
ant news upon one estate where more
than 100000 eggs are sold annually.
10 visit Warwick castle is to see Pea
rocks in all their glory; indeed, the
place is famous for these birds. Of
which the handsomest are white.

they avail themselves of the sheltered
trees and in some secluded nook the
nest is made. The hen should be left
10 her own meditations and not inter
tered with while she is on the nest

A peafowl allowed to make her own
nest in the hedge always brings out
4 stronger and better brood than oEe
that has nest in a house. When
liatched the young brood should not bc

not being required. The first food

GETS into soft mass. This is given
with little millet or wheat. When
one adds sufficiently to ones stock to
sell eggs as we'll as birds, ones bank
account should assume healthy pro-
portions.
Bringing up pheasants by hand is
an extensive industry in England, and
here is no reason why it should not
thrive here. The eggs are collected
from birds kept in a news, and are
placed under domestic hens. Care on
the part OF the keeper must be ex-
crcised after the brood is old enough to

An Index to a Hor,e.s Character.

Phrenology as applied to horses is q
new and interesting study, and the fol-
lowing maxim should be carefully
studied by all lovers and owners of
horses: Every horse carries an index
to his temper and intelligence in his
face. The teachable, tractable animal
is broad and fiat between the eyes; the
bony ridge of his face dishes slightly
from the point where the face narrows
towards the nostrils. His ears are well
set, sensitive, and far apart, with we'll
defined ridge of bone extending across
the top Of the head between them. Al
ways feel for this ridge in judging q
horse. The eye should be large, clear
and bright, with q prominent ridge OF
bono along the inner and upper edge OF
the ket."-Westminster Gazette.
