INDIANS WHO ARE TRAINED
Steady Drudgery of Farm
 or Shop.

In gauging the results of the indus. trial training of the Indian-for edu- cation with him means industrial training-the fact must be taken into account that these people have never heretofore been obliged to work. Since the old hunting days whose heavy labors were relieved by the excitement of the chase, their maintenance for the most part has been provided by the federal government in return for lands tceded, says the Southern Workman.
 Their children are educated without cost to them. Content with simple life, they are without our complex and multiplied wants, and with an inherent improvidence, they have no care for the morrow. Whether or not they have far too much done for them' de- pends perhaps on the point of view. Doubtless, we should not think it too much if done for ourselves and our children, and yet it has surely been enough to weaken the Indians power of initiative and in so far to do him wrong. The effect will pass, how ever, and in the meantime, the impor- tance need not be exaggerated, for the Indian trained at school can and will work even at the steady drudgery of the farm or shop.

The men who were named in the Bristow report cut up high jinks after the thing was made public, they de nounced Bristow as liar and a scoundrel and did other stunts that caused the house of representatives to resemble 8 ward meeting in a hot fractional campaign. When however,
 the democrats tried to get, them to pass a resolution to enter on full in- vestigation of the rottenness in the postofhce department, they ran to the woods The party whip cracked over their backs and they fell into line. They refused absolutely to investigate the very department about which so much has been written as to it's rot tenness, and which they were so Iustily
 "cussing out" only few moments be fore. Was there ever before such flag rant exhibition of inconsistency? De- nounce the department in one breath as being one of the worst things on the face of the earth, and in the next vote that there is nothing. about 1t to investigate. That is what the republi- cans did. . .. ..-

LIONS co DEER HUNTING.
Big California Cats Kill More of tht Timid Animals Than All the
 Hunters.


 More deer are killed every year ir California by the mountain lions thar by the bullets of the hunters, states the Los Angeles Times.
 Next to the jaguar, our mountain iion is the largest cat in the tive Americas, and he is the champion deer slayer of the world. Within 30 or 4e miles of Los Angeles he catches the f1eet-footed, graceful creatures ana waxes fat on the sweet flesh. He knows no deer season other than all the time.
 Wherever there is good deer coun- try in this or any other southwestern state, there, also, is the best place for lions, and that is one of the reasons why the large herds of deer are rest less, seldom staying long in one local ity. There is nothing that they fear more than the sight or smell of a mountain lion. Not even the sudden appearance of hunter will so quickly drive them away from range of hills. The lions method of hunting the deer is not unlike that of the big cats of Africa and India in pursuit of the antelope and deer of those countries. Having found spring or pool where the desired game comes to water at nightfall, the lion selects an overhang- ing limb or ledge of rock, whence one leap will carry him to the back or throat of his prey, and thereon lays himself out in perfect accord with the limb itself. In the gathering dusk the imperfect eye of the deer has little chance against this hidden terror, and the wind, usually his faithful ally. can help him none now, for the lion is far and away too old a campaigner not to ile up wind from the spring.
 The deer comes; one leap from the limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and powerful paws soon break the tender neck; and, don't you believe it when anyone tells you that a California lion can't carry away deer. The writer has followed the plain, broad trail Hof the heavy pads for over half a mile. and then come suddenly on the place where the killer had stopped to rest. There in plain outline was the imprint of the deer's body; but for that whole dis tance the lion had carried it we'll up and clear of the ground. Such tfpor- tages'' are not infrequent in the career of hunting lion, as these animals never eat their game where they kill it. Sometimes they hunt in pairs, but in six or eight years spent in the hills, the writer has seen but one such hunt ing pair. ,
 Like the rest of the cats the world over, the mountain lions mainstay in hunting is patience. He will wait for hours on narrow limb or on a rocky ledge in the coldest night rather than get out like a coyote and SCOUT the slopes for his supper; with feet as noiseless as an owls wing, he will fol- low an unsuspecting rabbit or belated spike buck until a favorable opportu- nity for leap presents, and then it is generally "all day" for the hunted But of all things the lion loves deer l meat, and, while he will dare great many dangers for young pig, his liking for deer is even greater than that

REINDEER WOOL GARMENTS
Extreme Buoyancy of the Material Makes It Desira ble for Bath
 ing Costumes.

From their herds of reindeer the Laplanders in northern Europpe take the woolly hair and make from it blankets, which are remarkable for their excellent qualities of resisting moisture and cold. says Fibre and Fabric Of these blankets the United States consul at Frankfort, Germany, has this to say: g.,
 "A close examination of the hair of the reindeer furnishes an explanation Of it's peculiar value. The hair does not have hollow space inside for it's whole length, but is divided, or par titioned off, into exceedingly numerous cells, like watertight compartments These are filled with condensed air, and their walls are so elastic and at the same time of such strong resist ance that they are not broken up either during the process of manufacture or by swelling when wet. The cells ex- pand in water, and thus it happens that 8 man clad completely in gar ments made of reindeer wool does not sink when in water, because he is buoyed up by means of the air con- tained in the hundreds of thousands of hair cells. In the markets and stores of Norway, Sweden and Russia gar ments and blankets of reindeer wool are to be had at lower prices than other faorics. Tn Vienna there is a factory which manufactures garments of reindeer wool, especially bathing costumes. For persons unable to swim the possession of such garments is of great value. It is possible that they may be utilized in learning how to swim. Recently. successful trials have been made in Paris in this line. In England attention has been directed to this peculiar property of reindeer wool and it is proposed to take up its manufacture and possibly to inn prove it."

THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM
How Diseased Immigrants Get Into the United States-Temporary
 Remedies Help.

l drew the Neapolitan into talk about the underground system for admitting diseased emigrants into the United States, writes Broughton Brandenburg, in Leslie's Monthly, and he said Nssat there were doctors in Naples who tsonld so relieve trachoma in 4S hours tlet if the emigrant kept up the treatment he or she could get by the doctors at New York or Boston. The eyes would be worse after the treatment was stopped than before, and if the treatment was continued too long it would cause blind ness. Those emigrants who could not be doctored temporarily were sent through. '' .s--. ,...
 How sent through?' ..
 For answer shrug of the shoulders and "Oh, pay some money to some people, -;
 However, having heard of the system in Messina, on the steamer, in the city of Naples, and now seeing such palpable signs of it right in the shelter of the Capitaneria, I began for the first time to believe what could scatce credit be- fore, that the '*gold paved avenue" into my beautiful, healthy home country, for the loathsomely and contagiously dis scsed did exist.

AS fayorite fn the presidential race Senator German is keeping pretty close to Judge Parker, both of whom are we'll in the lead, and one of whom will probably get the democratic nom- 1nation. This has been shown by a poll of the senators and representa- tlVes just taken by the New York Her. aid. The views of the lawmakers at Washington generally express the feel 1ngs of the people they represent. While Parker seems to have a slight lead over the senator at present, there is no doubt but what the old demo- cratic war horse will be heard from before the day of the convention. Cor man has been in many political bat ties, and he knows how to push his own interests as well as the next can didate, and he is a democrat all the time.

LEAP-YEAR DIFFICULTIES.
Novel Scheme for Instructing Young Folks in the Proprieties of
 Proposing.

Leap year brought the usual dis tress and uncertainty to the little town of Werrenviile, relates Elliott Flower, jn the ,licago Post. 7.
 "It is very sad," sighed the girl.
 "It is," admitted the youth.
 "No girl knows whether she is really doesn't want to seem forward and bold.''
 And no man dares propose when it is girls privilege"
 "We don't know how to propose, any, way" said the girl.
 And we don't know how to accept or reject proposal" said the youth.
 *'Oh, that's easy" said the girl.
 ''So is proposing said the youth.
 "I'm sure I'd make a mess of it,' in- sisted the girl
 I'd give f1rst-class representation of blooming idiot trying to say yes or no properly" returned the youth.
 You needn't bother about the no, !" explained the girl. "It's distinctly bad form to say no to 8 leap-year pro- posal, and it's awfully easy to say yes But the proposal part is hard to learn Why, l wouldn't know what to do after getting favorable answer
 ''Oh. can show you that!" cried the youth. -
 "Really!" exclaimed the delighted girl.
 ''Oh. yes! A man never has to be taught that part of it; he knows in stinctively what follows the yes I'll show you.' .
 "How delightful" cried the girl "We might have leap-year proposal class, and show each other how to do and say what is customary. I know what you ought to do in leap year. and you know what ought to do. We can ex- change instruction"
 "And practical" urged the boy. ''It will take time to learn to do the thing right" .. .N '... s...
 "Of course" admitted the girl.
 "It is probable persisted the youth, s'that the most difficult feature to master fully will be the procedure that follows the actual proposal and its acceptance. But you won't be dis couraged ?'' ....,...z -,... ''I shall be most persevering," asserted the girl. Thus the WerrenvilIe '1eap-year school had it's origin. The first ses- sion was protracted, and not without it's pleasure, but they agreed that prac- tice alone could bring perfection. They are practicing. So are others who were informed of the delightfully."- practical method of ftly equipping themselves for the duties of the season. But there may be trouble when some stern papa" discovers just what the "Wer- renville school plan" means, There will be vacation.
 Still. it is certainly necessary that those who are called upon to do unfa- miliar things should learn how, and in these days the fad is for practical. rather than merely theoretical, instruc- tion. We cannot deny the advantage Of manual training. ...

AN OBJECTIONABLE TERM.
His Wife Was Particular as to His Manner of Referring to Her,
 Then She Found Out.

''I always hate," said the lady who was tWirling her glasses, "to hear a man refer to the lady whom he has wooed and won as my wife My wife, indeed. Pouf! In the next breath he speaks of my horse or my dog I'd like to have such a man for a husband little while. I think I could teach him few lessons that would be good for him. When a man has occasion to refer to the lady who lowered herself by accepting his ring at the altar he should speak of her as Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Jones' as the case may be-. I'd like to hear my hus- band mention me as his wife! 1 think he would limit himself to just that once!"
 the rather timid manner, Tit seems to me that man might do worse than speak Of her as his wife When your husband was over at our house the night before last, Mrs. Frithington, he and my husband played plng-pong, and l happened to be in an adjoining room for few minutes, where l could ovez- hear their conversation. I thought it sounded awfully nice when Henry spoke of me as his wife, "*r
 Well, of course, some women are so constituted that they prefer to be regarded as inferior beings, and where a case of that kind exists it may DC just as well that the husband does take it for granted that he IS her pro- prietor. But you didn't hear John Frithington refer to me as his wife, I'll venture"
 No; when he spoke of you he mere- ly called you the old woman 's~ ~ Some of John Frithington's friends seem to think that his wild, hunted look is of late more in evidence than usual.
