SKELETONIZING LEAVES.
Form Treasures of Garden
and Field.

Wreaths made of leaves that have
been skeletoniZed are beautiful and will
remain SO for many years. The best
success is obtained VI pear and apple
leaves. The pulp can be removed from
pear leaves at least four days earlier
than from any other. Such leaves as
pear, maple, poplar, willow and Eng
fish ivy are used, also Simpson burr,
ground cherry and prickly pear pods,
says the Ledger Monthly.
Put the leaves in jar, cover with
soft water, set in q warm place in the
sun and keep well covered with water
all the time. If the weather is very
warm, in two or three weeks such
leaves as pear and box elder will be
ready to clean. Take them out and
wash clean in clear water with the
thumb and front finger, keeping them
under water all the time. This must
be very carefully accomplished, SO as
not to tear the fbrous meshes of the
leaves. When the pulp is all washed
OIL hold piece of pasteboard or card
board just under the surface of the
water and float the leaves in their nat
ural shape on it. Raise it carefully
out of the water, pat leaves gently
wi. 4 soft, dry cloth to remove the
water, then lift them from the card
board and place in book to press.
When you have enough, or a great
many more than enough, get quart
jar full of chloride of lime at the drug
gist's. This must be kept tightly
corked, or it will become useless. Put
about two tablespoonfuls to pint of
water into bowl or dish that can be
covered tightly, and let the skeletons
remain until sufficiently bleached, but
no lcnger. as the lime rots them and
makes them difficult to mount. Rinse
thoroughly and float on cards again,
tbs time placing them in the sun to
partially dsy; again place in books un-
I'll all are ready to mount.
Ferns are beautiful, but should never
be atteml led unless one has an un-
usual amcEnt of patience. Gather them
early IN the season, when the seed
pods are on the under side of the leaf.
10 quart OF boiling water add a little
concentrated I've. The amount of I've
varies according to the age of the fern
leaves; usually piece the size of uea
is sufficient. Put a few of the ferns
In at tine. let them boil until thew
look dark ans transparent, take them
out and rims in pure cold wafer and
put Immediately into the bleach as for
the other leaves, burrs and pods.
For the stems take the fine white
wire that is used for wax flowers. and
fasten to the bark of the leaves wifi,
gum arabic. Arrange in wreath in
deep box frame with velvet lining
OF some dark shade; wine color is rich
but sky blue is more delicate and
brings out the minute veilings of the
leaves as well as some of the darker
colors. A boqdet, cross or harp. made
OF white wax and the leaves simulated
IN form of vine upon them is an ex-
quisite arrangement.
In mounting, discard all inferior and
torn material. 1t is best to nrenara .
larger quantity than is needed. The
PODS and burrs should droop from the
wire stems, the leaves should mostly
be arranged to initiate their natural No =
sition. Z = = r.

At Elizabeth, N. j., drug stores are
not allowed to sell cigars or soda water
on Sunday.
Pure butter, eaten in moderation,
will furnish the oils required by the hui
man system.
According to Prof. Garriott, of the
weather bureau, Chicago, is the windi-
est point in our country.

poses to bond the city for 100000 to
beautify the streets, and to arrange it
in such a way that the tax rate will not
be increased.
Land in Cuba is not measured by the
acre. A planter buys ''cabaleria" of
land, not an acre. A cabaleria of land
is in the form of circle. These cir
cles overlap each other and chunks are
left out, and the result of land trans
action is bewildering.
The emission of light from common
potato in a state of decomposition is
sometimes striking. DR.. Phipson, in
his work on phosphorescence men
lions case in which the light thus
emitted from cellar full of these vege-
tables was so strong as to lead an Off
Ger to believe his barracks were on fire.
A Washington observer has come to
the conclusion that a greater number
of prominent men, foreigners as well as
Americans, pass the corner of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Fifteenth street in a
given time than pass any other corner
in the country. 1t is the beaten track
to the Write house of ambassadors,
ministers, senators and Representatives.

REAL WHITE TRASH.
Such Is the Sauayv-NIan Who Marries
an Indian Woman for
Her Land.


There is real social problem which
has long been source of apprehen-
SIGN to the Indians, and-which, among
the other tribes, as well as among
the Cherokees, has undoubtedly had
much to do with the pressure upon
the United States to declare a terri
torial form of government This, says
Ainslee's Magazine, is the intermar-
riage of white men into the tribes for
no other purpose than to share in the
lands and funds of the nations. The
lands of the Indians are rich not only
for agricultural production, but also
in oil and coal, and the greed of the
white men Tor the enterprise of the
industrial pioneer. if the milder cpl
tibet be preferred) has found it i'm
possible to abstain from exploiting
such possibilities. AS the land has
been the property of the Indians, and
as the Indian has no power to trans
fer title, the only alternative for the
eXploiters has been to marry into the
tribes and acquire community prop
erty rights. Before the tribal rolls;
were finished these marriages were
far more common than they are now.
Then each man, as soon as he became
the husband of an Indian woman, be-
came q member of the tribe, and
shared equally with his wife and
every other citizen of the nation.
To prevent these marriages, of
which there have been thousands.
some of the tribes adopted laws fix
ing the marriage license fees beyond
the reach Of the adventurers and seal
awarS who were ready to marry
squaws 10 become sharers in the lands
The Cherokee council fixed the mar
riage license at $500, and while the
law was in force only one alien white
man took out marriage license.
The Chickasaws undertook to pass a
law fixing the fee at $1,000. where one
or the other was an alien, but the bill
failed of passage in the council. The
enrolment of the tribal members
served to check the demand for In
dian wives, and marriages of full
blood squaws to white men are not of
frequent occurrence now The Keto-
wah society exerted it's influence
against these marriages, and drove
many bride hunters out of the terri
tory. The indians themselves real
lied That The white men who came to
marry their women were not of a
class to uplift the tribe. The squaw-
man or white husband of full-blood
woman is held in no regard either by
the full bloods themselves or by the
better element of the Cherokees.

fortkept the country round pretty well
cleaned up and quiet.
Eve stayed at the fort for several
days, until our wounds healed, before
making return trip. The colonel in
command of the fort insisted on my
staying there for time, as there were
over 200 hostile Indians on the warpath
scattered all over that country. He
told me that it was foolish to make the
attempt, and never expected to see me
alive again, but was young. and had
told the captain I'd be back as soon
as could make the trip with the mail
and supplies, and wouldn't stay.
II didn't know it at the time. but
learned afterward, that the Indians I
had the running fight with coming over
belonged to sub-chief and relative
of old Geronimo, but I found it out
coming back We hadn't been out two
days when they sighted us; luckily,
It happened just about snndown. They
took few shots at us, then went inS0
camp just over a hill from where we
were camped. We could hear them
holding powwows and singing while
making preparations to dangle our
soaps in their belts the next day.
II remember sat looking into the
campfire that night. wishing was back
home and wondering what in thunder
to do, when the old sergeant came over
to me and asked:
Lieutenant. sou don't think we can
