Squaws As Lacemakers.

Specimens of the beautiful lace that
Is being made by the Chippewa Indians
are now seen in a few of the fashion
able houses of New York. They are
mainly in the form OF table covers.
bed spreads and piano covers. The
lace is peculiarly adapted for these
purposes, rs the designs are bold and
forcible and show to great advantage
when placed over n delicately colored
silk lining. In quality and style, how
ever, the lace Is quite subject to vari-
alton as Is that of any other make, and
ample opportunity is therefore afforded
for the individuality of the worker to
assert itself.
1t is to Miss Sibyl Carter. of New
York. that the Chippewa squaws owe
their knowledge of lacemaking. In 1891
she conceived the idea of teaching
them this accomplishment The bead
work they formerly made, while 1t dis
play.d their patience and nimbleness
of t,uch. was quite unstable. The ae-
complished teacher that Miss Carter,
aided by the Episcopal mission, sent
to thenl, was Miss Pauline Colby. She
speaks of her pupils as being most
eager to learn. and says that the idea
once grasped they work With an &c
curacy which far surpasses that of
white women.
From the first the lace found ready
sale among wealthy New York women,
who encouraged the work by giving
large advance orders. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and Mrs. j. Pierpont Nor
gan have fine bedspreads of 1t for
which they paid 5000 apiece. Mrs. AS
tor, too, has been a liberal patron. The
Indian women rpcpiyp af tho rate of 10
cents an hour for the completed work

A Blbliophile's Reply.

Mandell Creighton, the bishop Of
London, has n horror of lending his
fayorlte books, says London CORE
spondent. The bishop is charming
wit as we'll as great scholar. A fell
low clergyman once visited the bishop
and took fancy 10 an old edition of
Shakespeare. He borrowed the volume
and did not think to return 1t for sew
eral months.
Finally the minister returned it with
a letter, saying: "My Dear BISHOP
have great pleasure in returning the
volume you loaned me-"
The bishop answered: "My Dear
Brother-All the JOY is mine."-Denver

Dog Leaves Home to Live with Foxes.

Cascade Township, Lyeomlng coun-
ty, has a dog that was stolen by foxes.
and which now lives In the woods with
the sly animals that stole 1t. n. j.
Maloney, farmer of the township,
had had several chickens stolen by the
foxes. Mr.. Maloney was not the only
person who missed some of his chick
ems. There were others. Some of the
neighbors waited with shotguns for the
thieves. and four or five foxes We're
killed
Instead of doing that Mr.. Maloney
put -month-old pup in a kennel
near the chicken coop. He thought the
dog would brighten the foxes away;
but he was mistaken. The first night
that the pup was put on guard the
foxes made a raid, and, besides one or
two chickens, stole the dog. 1t was
thought that the foxes had killed the
dog; but several nights ago the dog
was seen going along the edge of the
mountains with two foxes. The dog
has assumed the slyness of a fox and
can run nearly as fast as the foxes.

WATERING HORSES
They Should Have an Unlimited Sup
ply to Drink at viii.


It Is very plain fact that it is
always best to furnish horse
with an unlimited supply of water
which he can take at will. An animal
under these conditions will not take
too much, but when we take into con-
sideration how few stables are so fit
ted as to allow this being carried out,
1t is in most cases out of the question
the more so as horses are out on long
journeys or employed in work, coming
to the stable hungry, thirsty ana tired.
Seyenty-five per cent. of the animal
body is composed of water, and it Is
essential TO the bodily health that this
proportion of fluid and solid constitu-
ents be maintained. The secretion and
fluid excretions are constantly lending
to reduce the fluid parts below the nor
NAL, says the Breeders Gazette. and at
no time Is this more apparent than af-
ter long and active work-the loss re
sulting from increased perspiration
and respiration.
1t Is at this time that popular opinion
would withhold water until the ami
NAL cools down. Now | have always
made 1t practice to permit the horse
to take what water he requires at that
time. When it is warm in all its parts,
with an active circulation, 1t is best
able to resist the chilling effects of n
draught of cold water. The stomach
empty the fluid passes into the bowls
and is rapidly absorbed, thus supply
ing the necessary fluid to the blood.

requisite to digestion could not be

stomach of that animal is replete with

AN EXTRA SESSION
Will Be Called if Army Bill is Not
 Passed.

Washington, February 9-The Post to- morrow will say: The army reorganization bill must pass or the president will call an extra session of congress.
 The opposition to the bill in the senate has already been frequently referred to in the Post and the prediction made that some compromise will be agreed upon whereby legislation of temporary character would be placed upon the army appropriation bill This will not satisfy the administration. No makeshift expedient will be accepted. The president has determined that the passage of the army bill shall be made an issue and there is no doubt in administra- ton circles that he will be successful If, however, any obstacles should prevent ac- tion an extra session will surely be held.
 The conditions which have arisen leave no other course to be pursued by the pres- ident. decision was yesterday rendered by the attorney general to the effect that as soon as the ratifica tions of the peace treaty are exchanged the volunteers can no longer be retained in service. This Is also true, the attorney general holds, of the ad- ditfonal regulars who were enlisted for the war with Spain Consequently without the desired legislation the president will find himself with an army reduced from 65 600 to 5000 men.
