The Indian Celebration at Lapwai.

The Nez Perez Indians are holding one
of their largest celebrations at Lapwai
this week. The big parade and war
dance was cut short by the rain Saturday
afternoon and the red men adjourned to
the warehouse to watch their white
brethren shake their feet. There were
about 5000 people on the ground to
watch the painted warrior don his CANDY
costume and ride in battle array with the
old time vim. The wailing of the squaws
in their tepees could be heard as their
heroes rode by in the tournament. Old
Chief Joseph with pair of horns and a
trailing set of earrings and feathers led
the procession mounted upon noble
charger.
However it 10 touching spectacle to
look upon man with such native ability
as military leader and one whom the
United States army officers considered as
formidable opponent gloating over such
empty honors.
Sunday was memorial day among the
Indians and the entire tribe did honors
to their dead. Monday the races began
and they will last at least two weeks.
The Fourth exercises were repeated to-
day on account of the rains preventing
last Saturday. There are Indian dances
both at Lapwai and Spalding every night

lmnaha Starts on second Trip.

The steamer Imnaha loaded with a
cargo of lumber and supplies for the
Eureka mines and Cave Gulch started on
her second up-river trip today at high
noon. The little craft sank eight inches
into the water. but she walked up the
rapids above Lewiston without seeming
effort. The first trip the boat was COM
PEELED to lay over night where large
rock had fallen into the stream at Sheep
Camp rapids, and used line in the
morning. This was the only place where
the line was used and crew of the U. S.
engineers are coming from Portland to
blast out this obstruction. When this is
accomplished the Imnaha will make the
trip with ease In about ten hours. The
boat had some farm machinery for
Grouse creek. This is the first move to
develop the agricultural portion of tina,
country. 1t is expected that the return
trip will be made tomorrow.

Religion. Indian, c.I.br... a. k.ml.h.

The camp meeting of Presbyterian In
dams began July L. 1t will continue I'M
til the last of this week. The meeting is
being held on the fat on the south side
OF Kamiah creek, close to the Indian
church. Surrounding It'll circle are rs
lodges of Indian families. who have gath
cred from all parts of the reserva-
ton. The practice of Indians gather
ing together at this date has been con-
tinuous with the tribe since the first adj
vent OF white men in the northwest II
is legend of the tribe that when the
Hudson Bay company, or as Indians have
1t. King Georges men, FIRST came, they
taught the tribe to celebrate at this time.
For many years the celebration con-
sisted of horse racing, gambling, dancing
and heathenish rites.
After missionaries came the meetings
were given religious tone by Christian
Indians. but many continued to indulge
in animal and war dances. Five years
ago the Presbyterian Indians concluded
to hold separate meetings. which have
been uniformly successful. Heretofore
heather Indians have head together, but
this year split came among them, cele-
brations being held in both Lapwai and
Spalding, while many of the tribe par
ticipated in celebrations at Nezperce,
Culdesac and Sites.

CHERRIES BRINGS BIG PRICE.

steamer Spokane viii Go Into Commission In
Peach Season - Mr.. Stranahan's Cherries
Brings Good Prices IN St. Paul.
The o. R. & N. company has had the
steamer Spokane on dry dock at Riparia
the last month having her repaired pre-
paratory to handling the big freight
accommodations that will go to the banks
of the river early this fall. At present
there is no indications that the boat will
be placed in commission before the big
peach crop is ready for shipment the last
Of the month.
rhe cherry crop is fine, especially OF
the Royal Ann, Ok hearts aud Black
Republican variety. "There is no place
in the United States" says Mrs. c. T..
Stranahan of Enterprise Bar, across the
Clearwater "that can begin to compete
in thNnarket for fancy cherries with the
Clearwater and Snake river valleys either
in size, color or flavor.
81 have been shipping to ST. Paul this
season and have received a net price OF
eighty-nine and fraction cents on the
ten pound box. The only fault that can
be found with our production is that it is
not as plentiful as it should be. Only
week ago Minneapolis firm telegraphed
parties here requesting carload of Royal
Ann cherries for immediate demands but
| it was found upon examination of the
conditions that it was simply impossible
to fill the order. feel" continued Mr..
Stranahan. "that il all our irrigated areas
were converted into cherry orchards nc
owner would make mistake"
This condition of demands is found in
the face of much larger supply than al
any other time in the fruit growing era Of
the Lewiston country.

FIXING THE FURNACE.

 Jobs like this never shirkp' That's the way he starts to work. Mother smiles sort of worried smile and shakes her head and sighs; Then she takes us in the parlor, where to read aloud she tries. But the racket pa is making drowns her voice. and so she goes On upstairs to make the beds or mend some of our winter clothes. From the cellar comes a noise # Like dozen real bad boys! After while his work is finished, and pa comes upstairs again, Cut and bruised and black as any of those funny minstrel men; Great big lump upon his forehead, thumbs all mashed, both eyes black, Breathing like he'd run a foot race, hair filled full of dust and slack: Linps and holds his sides and groans Like he'd broken all his bones Mother meets him with witch hazel, band- ages and salves and soap; Says: "Iim awful sorry, Frederick Noth- tng's very bad, | hope?' Pa just sits and chews his mustache; then he drags himself to bed; Has to have the doctor come and patch his hands and back and head; Has to pay. for that; but still Furnace man won't send a billi

SHIPS THAT SAILORS PAINT.

, P < There Is No Suggestion of Life or Mo
 ton.
 It is an axiom with sailors that there never, was man who put in three wears before the mast who did mot think he could paint ship better than the most sllillful landlubber that ever Wielded brush. Tn the homes of re tired sea captains specimens of this kind of marine art are often displayed on the walls to admirfng friends and are handed down as family heirlooms. A good place for the man who has no sea-going relatives or friends to see such pictures is in some of the win dows of ship supply stores on South street Sailors buy them occasionally
 Ships that sailors paint are absolute .ly correct in every detail. From brig to 8 full rigged, three-master there is not a block or tackle missing from stem to stern or from masthead to water line. No marine painter could get in half so much detail if he tried. But the ships painted by sailors look as if they were caught fast in frost tipped waves. There is absolutely no life or any suggestion of motion about them, even when represented as going Under full sail. When sailor tries to get in a bit of landscape as a back ground, as he usually does, he makes matters hopelessly worse. As a gen eral thing it is lighthouse or a fort, looking for all the world like little i'm ages that children take out of their toy arks.-New York Press.

CHRISTMAS FEAsTlNG.

A Variation From Tradition--Ths
 KnicIxerbOcker Chicken Pie.
 Housekeepers who are not bound by tradition are recommended to try praised turkey, which an old writer de clares is the ne plus ultra of gastro- homie art. Fill the turkey with the best forcemeat you can command. The most elegant is a chicken forcemeat mixed with sweetbreads and mush- rooms or truff1es, but an ordinary bread or celery or chestnut stufing may be used. After the bird is picked, singed and drawn hold it breast down for a few moments over bright fire to stiff en it and lard the breast alone with shreds of fat, salt dried pork. Place it in large saucepan, one without the ordinary long handle, laying 1t breast uppermost. Add sliced onion, celery, carrot and some sprigs of parsley, with veal broth almost sufficient to cover. Cover the saucepan tightly, set in moderate oven and cook slowly. When half done add seasonings of salt and pepper, and when tender take it out, lay in the roasting pan and brown quickly, basting with butter. Strain the gravy, thicken and serve in boat.
 The Christmas dinner of the descend ant of the Knickerbockers would be in complete without chicken pie. It is baked in pan, the sides only of which are lined with crust. Only the breasts and boned first and second joints are used. These tidbits are seasoned and laid in the pan with alternate layers of a very delicate forcemeat, the whole covered with rich broth made from the rest of the chicken with a delicate fiavoring of onion, celery and parsley. The top crust is laid on, hole cut in the top for a vent and the pie cooked for two hours in a slow oven. Brown paper must be kept over it until fifteen minutes before serving, when the crust must be delicately Drowned. This is feast in itself, and it is pity to serve it midway at any dinner, but it is as good if not better cold.
 In Germany the goose holds the same place as the turkey on American tables. It is either stuffed with chestnuts or dish of boiled kale garnished with boiled chestnuts is served with 1t. The poor man stuffs his bird with apples and garnishes the kale with fried po- tatoes.-Table Talk.

How to Wax a New F1aor.

To wax new floor use first good wood filler" which must be thorough ly rubbed off before it becomes too hard, and then a prepared wax. It is better to purchase this wax unless you have had great deal of experience in mixing it. Apply the prepared wax with thin woolen rag and polish it in with a heavy brush or brick rubbing the floor across the grain first and with the grain afterward The wax must be applied in a very thin coat and thoroughly rubbed into the floor. After the floor has been filled and dried two coats of wax are necessary to finish it.

How to Seal Envelopes.

Many people indulge in the unhealthy habit of applying their tongues to mois- ten the gum of envelopes, etc. All though one is now getting used to see ing little vessels in the post office on which to wet postage stamps, they are not used as much as they ought to be in private households, and an article of this sort should be folnd on every writ ing table. An old glass saltcellar or any small chins vessel, even an egg cup, can be used if small piece of sponge freely saturated with water Is slipped into the receptacle. When the sponge becomes impregnated with the gum take it out and wash thoroughly with warm water and soap; then put back again soaked with clean water.
