INDIAN APPROPRIATION.
What Congress Did with the Claims of
the Five Tribes.

Washington. d. c., March l.
In the way of Indian Territory ap-
preparations the Choctaws succeed
ed in getting $75, 900, through the
efforts of Capt. James S. Standley,
with which to pay off their public
debt. The Seminoles collected
$177,0S5 on the loyal Seminole
claim managed BY Gov. 5. j.
Crawford.
The Cherokees failed to get their
agreement ratified, although ap-
proved and urged by the Secretary
of the Interior and the Dawes com
mission, They then made an ef-
fort to get their public debt of
5000, 900 paid off, and failed.
Then they tried to get $40, 600
from their own funds to pay off
the school debt and relieve these
schools of serious embarrassment.
This unfortunately went off on a
point of order.
The only item in favor of the
Cherokee nation was an item of
500 900 in favor Of the old settlers
managed by w. O. Cox and Robert
l.. Owen. This item was reported
by the Secretary of the Interior
and the Assistant Attorney Gener-
al adversely as not legal or sub
sisting claim on March l, 1895.
On March ), Congress overruled
the objections and provided pay
ment in the following amendment
to the general deficiency bill;

jolly Helen Keller.

"Helen Keller is as normal a young
person, in the. respect of her ordinary
likes and dislikes, as any one you would
be apt to meet in days journey-al-
ways excepting in what may be regard
ed by some as normal vices, which she
certainly has not, writes Joseph Edgar
Chamberlin of the deaf and blind girl
who is shortly to enter Harvard college,
in The Ladies' Home Journal. 'She has
quite normal curiosity, but she has been
without personal experience of evil save
in some very limited ways. She certain
ly comes nearer to being completely
good than any other person whom !
have ever known. She is unable to
frame a deceit. Nevertheless, she loves
dearly to play practical jokes of an in
nocent sort, but they are generally very
melancholy failures through her total
inaptitude for any form of guile. She is
extremely fond of outdoor romping and
yearns for adventures by sea and land.
She struggles-of course with a guide,
for if she is left entirely alone out OF
doors she simply stands stock still or sits
down on the ground until rescued
with great joy up the steepest hills and
through the densest thickets. To be
lost in our little woods with only a
child for guide is an intense delight to
her. She revels in rough handling and
friendly scraps She is strong and
healthy girl and feels the need for exer-
else "

FOR THE FARMER.
Advantages Of Variety In Pasturage.
Hogs and Higher Prices For Corn.
Oxen and Mules.

Some of the pleasant surprises in con-
nection with the breeding and feeding
of farm stock occur on holdings which
give the animals a fresh range of pas
turage, says the London Live Stock
Journal. 1t is possible to overdo almost
any sets of pasture land with one class
of stock. The ground may not be tram
pied and eaten till it gets foul, but it
may easily come to want that crisp rel
ish which is desirable. Sir Walter Gill
hey is right in holding that horses ought
to have wide feeding area when they
are in the open. The immediate pro-
genitors of the horse did undoubtedly
roam over extensive tracts of land in
search of fare. 1t can scarcely be ques-
toned that the horse as we know him
has great notion of being free in the
widest sense of the term once he comes
to feel perfectly comfortable under the
open sky. He falls quite easily into a
vagabond kind of existence. taking here
little there little on his way. Still

time be hunted off specially good bit

Hogs and Corn.

From present indications the price Of
corn is going to be higher, says Live
Stock. After several years of excessive
ly depressed markets the great Ameri-
can crop promises to reach a point
where its culture will prove very profit
able to the farmer. 1t will be more
profitable then to sell corn than to feed
it to hogs. Under these circumstances
the breeder of swine must prepare for
the future. Ultimately the price of hogs
would go up if corn became scarce and
too high priced, provided some substi-
tute for corn could not be found. 1t is
in anticipation that the farmer or breed
er reaps success. The man who is load
ed down with a drove of swine might
suddenly find corn advanced so high
that it would pay him to dispose of his
hogs at once and sell his corn in the
open market But there would be thou
sands of other breeders looking at the
question the same way, and the sudden
marketing of so many hogs would I'M
doubtedly break market prices for them.
This would be disastrous to the man
compelled to sell, and many would he in
that position. But later the prices for
hogs would come around to their nor
NAL condition and even advance beyond
the former quotations. Consequently
the man who keeps his hogs at not too
great expense would reap the benefit OF
his foresight and preparedness.

MANILA, May Is. = Admiral Dewey
will sail for New York by way of the

about four months.
The United States cruiser Olympia,
on which Admiral Dewey will take the
voyage home, will sail leisurely trip,
stopping at Mediterranean ports for
some time to give the admiral, the Off
GERS of the ship and the crew an oppor-
tunity for rest. Like all the Olympia's
company, Admiral Dewey is much run
down in tropical port without change
and under the rigorous conditions Incl
dent to war footing.
All are delighted at the prospect of
returning home. The officers have had
little shore leave and have been obliged
always to be on shipboard by shutdown.
The crews have had stiE less leave, and
show the effects of years spent on a
hot ship under enervating sun.
The Olympia will proceed from Ma
Mia to Hong Kong, where fortnight
will be spent in Transforming the mud
color which she was painted to white,
having up to this time been unable to
comply with the departments order to
take on white paint. At Hong Kong the
cruiser will be coaled and provisioned
for her further journey.

Peas For Family Use.

1t is necessary to make several plant.
ings of peas to have succession for the
table during the season. Of course the
earliest will be planted first, and the
very earliest of all should not be one of
the sweeter wrinkled varieties, as these
will often rot in cold, wet soil from the
amount of water that they will absorb
But the wrinkled varieties when they
come are so much sweeter and better
that they spoil the others for use. The
peas not wrinkled should be used while
they are small and tender. When they
attain full size, it will be impossible to
cook them soft. One of the early and
one later variety of wrinkled peas
should be planted about the same time
when the ground gets warm enough.
The planting may be kept up till nearly
June, though later planted peas are apt
to mildew, and at the time they are
ripe there is such variety of other vege-
tables and fruits that we do not care so
much for the peas Boston Cultivator

Oxen and Mules.

The Southern Planter tells of an Ala
bama planter who owns a great deal Of
farm land which he rents to negroes on
condition that they shall do their work
with an OK instead of mule. AS a re-
suit, all his tenants are prosperous and
pay their rent promptly. The OK is ca
pable enough for all the farm work, but
he is not suitable to hitch up and ride
to church, cake walks and "hoedowns"
after the days work is done, and so
both beast and master stay at home and
are fit for work the next day. AS we
read it we wondered if there were not
some white farmers in the north who
would be more prosperous if they had
oxen instead of horses, for the same
reason. A good horse and carriage is
often sufficient excuse for trips to the
village, daytime as we'll as evening,
when it would be more profta BILE to re-
main at home. Oxen are not very rapid,
but they are businesslike all day and
do not get into bad company as often as
fast trotters do.

A Dainty Decoration.

Every woman who entertains should
have among her table belongings sets of
ribbon colors for table decoration. They
can be used again and again, need not be
of superfine quality, and therefore can
not be called expensive, especially when
it is considered how enormously they
count in effectiveness. The best width
for these ribbons is four inches, the
quantity required depending upon the
length, size or shape of table. A simple
and pretty arrangement is to draw the
ribbon in fiat band diagonally across
the table to within few inches of the
line of covers, terminating it in hand.
some tied bows. These bows are prettier
if the loops are stood up on their sides,
to avoid fatness. Extra loops may be
added, and little Of some perfect fruit
of softly contrasting shades held within
the folds. The ribbon band will Of
course run over the lace centerpiece and
