ORDERED BY HITCHCOCK.
Tribal Tax Laws to be En-
forced at Once.

Washington, d. g., Sept. L.
The tribal tax laws of the Chicka-
saw and Choctaw nations will be
enforced by the United States gov
eminent. This course was defin.
itely decided upon today, and will
be carried into effect at once. Mr..
Hitchcock, secretary Of the inter-
for, sent out definite instructions
today TO the United States Indian
inspector for the Indian Territory
/ to this effect. 1t makes known the
course of the government in the
clearest language possible. 1t in
forms that government official that
all persons carrying on business in
the territory or feeding cattle with

tribal taxes and comply with the

such persons from the territory
and the closing of their places Of
business.
The department has decided to
take no middle ground in the mat
ter, but the terms of the secretary's
letter mailed today will be carried
out with all the power and author
ity of the United States govern
ment. The action of today was a
direct result Of the decision of Mr..
Griggs, attorney general Of the
United States, advising such course
and declaring tito be the legal and
proper one.
The opinion is an exhaustive
and lengthy one, and in addition

leading up to the opinion. No re-
cent decision of the government is
of more vital interest to the south
west or more sweeping and posi-
tive in its terms. Ever since the
act, which is known as the Curtis
law, became effective the people of
the territory have resisted the col
lection of the tribal taxes. The
opposition has gone to the extent
where it is formally organized in
some localities. Only the most
positive action by the government
can force this collection, and to-

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT..
1t Can BE Performed Mt Il Cost of Il
Few Cents.

Few Cents.
y curious experiment which any one
can perform at the cost of a few cents is
herewith explained:
Buy an ounce of liquid sodium anal
gam, a sheet of aluminium costing Il few
cents and about six inches of stout cop
per wire. With file sharpen one end of
the copper wire SO as to give ii the shape
of Il pencil. Rub off the surface of the
aluminium plate with knife just before
beginning the experiment.
Dip the pointed end of the wire into
the amalsam and after removing it, Gov
cred with the liquid alloy write or draw
on the aluminium plate. Dip your wire
into the amalgam from time to time just
as if you We're writing with pen and ink.
Never mind the fact that your ink is a
metal and that your pen seems to write
nothing but scratches. Finish your work
and then watch and SEQ what happens.
The lines just traced by your pen will
suddenly assume duh whitish tint, CON
trasting with the brightness of the metal.
Then they will rise above the metallic
surface ut the rate of about one inch an
hour. In less than five minutes your
drawing will be in strong relief. You
may wipe out the white substance which
has thus sprung from the metal but it
will develop again with the same vigor
as would some kind of mushroom gifted
with the rather abnormal property of
thriving ON metallic ground.
These white formations consist princi-
pally of alumina. The cause of their
growth is the formation of an amalgam
of aluminium in which that metal is in Il
molecular state altogether different from
that in which it exists in its coherent
form. Although mercury has less affinity
for oxygen than aluminium as soon as an
alloy of the two metals is made alumni
ium loses its previous chemical inertia
and undcrgoes slow combustion the
product of which is alumina.
Sodium plays no direct part in the reac-
ton, yet without it found it difficult to
get the mercury to adhere TO the Alumni
UNI. Sodium facilitates also the adhesion
of mercury to the copper wire The best
results are obtained in damp weather. If
the air is dry at the moment of the eX-
pertinent, results just as good will be OBJ
tanned by breathing gently from time to
time on the drawing, so as to slightly
moistcn the amalgam of aluminium

ScnIded and Dry Picked.

The New York Produce Review says:
Many shippers, seeing dry picked spring
chickens quoted higher than scalded,
have been inclined to dry pick all their
chickens, which is a serious mistake.
Large dry picked chickens do demand
premium of to . cents over scalded,
as they can be used in place of Phila-
delphia or nearby chickens but small
dry picked are not wanted by any class
of trade except at cheap price, and
where the birds run small they are
more Attractive and sell better when
scalded.

The Ideal Bedchamber.

''The importance of the sleeping and
bathing arrangements of a house is not
half appreciated, writes Maria Parloa
in The Ladies' Home Journal. giving
some suggestions as to furnishing the
house. Every bedroom should hc pro-
vided with the essentials for healthful
sleep and the daily sponge bath As near
ly as possible the room should be kept
free from anything that would tend to
contaminate the air 1t should be as
large as one can afford and the windows
so arranged that they may be opened at
the top and bottom. If possible the floor
should be bare and the rugs so small that
they can be taken outdoors with ease for
cleaning and airing. Everything about
the room should be washable. The bed
should be light and fitted with strong
casters, so that it may be readily moved.
The springs ought TO be firm and strong
and the mattress of a kind that will not
allow the heaviest part of the body to
sink and so cause the sleeper to lie in a
cramped position. My own preference is
for cheap hard mattress next the
springs and a light one of hair on this,
but any kind of mattress is better than
one that is too soft Above all, do not
overfurnish the bedroom"

the light lasted several seconds, gradual

Possibly the most remarkable light ever
used for purposes of reading is the beau
creature. one Of the free swimming tuni-
Gates. They are usually from l to .
feet in length and 3 or / inches across,
open at one end. The column is an ag-
grcgation of animals, each of which

rushing from the open end propels the
animal along. Its luminosity is wonder
full; its name, fire body, well chosen. To
illustrate its intensity. Il Portuguese sea
captain secured six of the animals. which
he placed in glass jars suspended from
the ceiling of his cabin. by their own
light he wrote a description of their beau
ties.
Bennett, the English naturalist. placed
a deep sea shark of the genus iSistius in
a jar in his cabin and could easily have
read by its light, describing the appear
ance of the fish as truly ghastly.

RnIznc's Telescope.

Balzac, it appears, once possessed a
telescope. One does not very readily see
what he wanted with such n thing His
habits of life We're such that he could
but very seldom have had occasion to
turn a telescope upon anything but a
bailiif. However, he had so much that
he did not want and so little that he did
that the article is probably authentic.
Nine. de Balzac, veuve, vouchcs for it
anyhow, 1t was annexed by the Prus-
slams when they took over her house at
Nilleneuve-St. Georges in 1870. They
no doubt had something better for they
returned it subsequently to the ministry
of the interior, Paris. Mime. de Balzac
refused to receive the contaminated
relic and in an .impassioned letter fore
told the impending surccasc of the pre-
hensile nation which had appropriated
it. The Bazacian telescope was then
put away by the authorities, who still
hold it.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE BRONZE TURKEY.
Points on These Valuable Birds
From a Successful Breeder

From n Successful Breeder.
There is more profit in raising tur-
keys than any poultry raised on the
farm, but occasionally we hear people
say, "There was nothing in turkey
raising for me-" and nine times out Of
ten the fault might have been traced to
the management, kind Of stock, etc.
On every hand we see the common or
scrub stock used We believe in thor
Oughbreds even in cats. Turkeys are
Just as easy to raise as chickens, but
we must use care and not inbred, as
80 many do. Inbreeding is more fatal
with turkeys than with hens. Procure
new stock each year, either in the
shape of a thoroughbred gobbler or
eggs from reliable breeder of thor
oughbreds, and you will find your stock
improve and be strong, vigorous and
mature quickly.
Lice will kill young turkeys quicker
than anything else. The use of some
good insect powder on the old hens be-
fore Matching will prove great help in
preventing lice on the poults.
Improper feeding is another cause
for delicate turkeys. Corn is usually
fed too heavily to the hens during the
winter, and the old turkeys are apt to
be very fat when they commence to
lay. Toward spring the hens should
not be allowed to run to the corn bin,
