Republican VS.. Democratic Finances

In January, 1895, for the first time in six
teen years, the Republican party obtained
full control of the business affairs of Waldo
county. The following figures, taken from
official reports, show the difference between
Democratic and Republican management:

We find in nine years of Republican rule
a change from balance of S1,277.29 against
the county to $17,267.3s in its favor, gain
of S1S,544.67 In 1894 the county was in
debt to its full legal limit, and more than
$3.50 in debts were carried to the next years
accounts. Since 1894, in addition to this i'm

Odd Old IaWs

One Of the oldest sets Of laws of the
Choctaw nation has just been discovered.
One clause relates to the killing OF witch
es. For witchcraft the penalty was
death and for alleging ones SELF 10 be II
witch or for saying that any other per
son was one was punishable by sixty
lasheS on the bare back.
Another declared that no doctor could
take money or any of the belongings Of
a patient he treated if the patient died.
If the patient were raised up from n
sick-bed the doctor could accept what
was offered to him, and if nothing was
offered, then lie could take in goods what
was his just compensation.
In 1884 the Choctaw council passed an
act which made Il person who bargaincd
TO sell any of the Chortaw land Il traitor
and punishable by death. Any white
man who encouraged such action was de
ported. An Indian who sold or disposed
of land either to individuals or to the
United States in toto should be considered
traitor and shot on conviction. This
was just preceding the beginning Of the
work of the Dawes COMMISSIONER Kansas

IAPAN'S USEFUL PAPERS.
House Walls, Rain Coats, Grain Sacks
and Tobacco Pouches.

From the bark of trees and shrubs the
japanese make scores OF papers, which
are far ahead of ours.
The walls of the japanese houses are
wooden frames covered with thin paper,
which keeps out the wind but lets in the
light. and when one compares these
paper-walled doll houses with the
gloomy bamboo cabins of the inhabitants
of the island of Java or the small
windowed huts of our forefathers, one
realizes that. without glass and in a
rainy climate. these ingenious people
have solved in a remarkable way the
problem of lighting their dwellings, and,
at least III a measure, of keeping out the
cold.
AS cover for his load of tea, when a
rain storm overtakes him, the Japanese
farmer spreads over it n tough, pliable
cover of oiled paper, which is almost as
impervious as tarpaulin and as light as
gossamer. lie has doubtless carried this
cover for years neatly packed away
somewhere about his cart.
The ''rikisha" coolies in the large cities
wear rain nantes of this oiled paper,
which cost less than IS cents, and last
for a year or more with constant use.
An oiled tissue paper, which Is as tough
as writing paper, can be had at the sta
tuners ior WiaPpilS W ueIic9le aItIcleS'
Grain and meal sacks are almost al
ways made of bark paper in Japan for
it is not easily penetrated BY weeyils and
other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all the papers which find common use
in the japanese household are the feather
papers Of which the tobacco pouches and
Pipe cases are made.
They are almost rs tough as French
kid, so translucent that one can nearly
see through them. and as pliablc and
soft as calffkin. The material of which
they are made is as thick as cardboard,
but as flexible rs National Geo
