Problem of the Indian.

From Leslies Weekly.
 At the recent Lake Mohonk Indian con- ference Dr. Lyman Abbott offered sug- gestions worthy of serious consideration in this connection These were, in broef. that in our system of schools for the In- dian we must provide for something more than mere intellectual development; we must make these schools morally and inspirationally. as well as educationally. effective" We must do for the red man what Booker T. Washington is doing for the negro-give him an all-around educa- ton, with, special emphasis upon the moral and industrial features. Obedience, industry, temperance and self-control are inculcated under such system, and no educatiVe process can be complete or satisfactory In any true sense where these virtues are not taught and developed But the chief responsibility for the future welfare of the Indian pr. Abbott laid at the door of the churches, and he sug- gested that a special effort be made to reach the "officers of all the churches. Roman Catholic and Protestant, ortho- dox and liberal. to disseminate knowledge and arouse enthusiasm among the con gregations' in Indian work.

 A box of Homemade candies is well come gift much appreciated at Christi mas. There Is an art in preparing such a box for ones friends and the end gained Is worth the trouble
 Candy boxes of any desired size can be purchased at a box factory, or boxes covered with the art crepe paper, sold at so reasonable price nowadays, make att tractive receptacles. A bolt of crimson baby ribbon, a few sprigs of holly and several sheets of white tissue paper will enable dainty package to be sent from ones home.
 cut paraffine paper and stiff bristol boards to fit the boxes in layers. sheet of paper, then the layer of board will keep the softer candies, such as chocolate creams, from crushing.
 Uncooked candies are never palatable, and no amount of flayoring will mask the raw taste. On this account take the trouble to prepare fondant, which is the basis of all fine cream candies. It is not at all difficult to make if the instructions are correctly carried out.
 A week before Christmas prepare the fondant, which can be placed in jar; cover with a damp cloth and keep in a cool place until two days before Christ mas, when 1t should be made up into the various confections. This time will allow the chocolate, used in dipping, to become firm.
 The chocolate used In the following for mulas Is unsweetened, unless otherwise stated. The molasses is Porto Rico or New Orleans. A variety of fiavoring can be purchased at the druggists by the ounce.
 Colorngs for tinting can also be pur- chased at the druggists, and always state that they are to be used to color food to insure getting the vegetable colorng.
 Red will produce any shade of pink, rose or scarlet according to the amount used. Violet will produce any shade from pale lavender to deep blue; pistachio or spinach will give green; egg yolk can be used for the yellows and few drops of strong coffee will give mode shade and chocolate will give the browns.
 The following table may be guide in fiavorngs White-vanilla or almond, pink-straw berry, raspberry. rose; green pistachio or almond; pale yellow-lemon deep yellow-orange; mode-maple or cof- fee. br0wn-yanilla.

ToLEDo's NEW MAYOR.
Prophecy Made to Gov. Campbell of
 Ohio Fulfilled.

Brand Whitlock the independent eandi- date for mayor of Toledo, who defeated the Republican organization candidate is a novelist But he was something of a politician before he tried literature, says the New York Sun.
 He learned political ways when he was reporter. He was associated With George Ade when the latter was a daily newspaper writer.
 One day Ade told Whitlock to lean to political stunts, if he was going to stick to newspaper work Whtloek followed his advice.
 Some months later he was sent 10 Cleveland-he was living in Chicago at the time to report the Democratic state convention a which Governor Campbell was candidate for renomination. The Cincinnati delegates had front seats In the convention, and whenever Campbell 2 name was mentioned the Cincinnati gans howled in derision. Campbell had fought the gang during his first term, and they wanted to defeat him in the convention or failing that at the polls
 The night before the convention Brand Nhitlocl< called to see the governor ai the latter's hotel. Whitlock was a boy fin appearance, but he had the sort of con fidence which Is sometimes mistaken for nerve
 He told the governor something's about the Cincinnati delegation which the gov ernor did not know
 ''If you accept this renomination to mor- TOW said Whitlock, you will be de- feated."
 Tho governor laughed and asked, Per hnps you can tell me how l can be elect ed?" This was said rather ironically.
 T am not as old In the game as you are" replied Whitlock, but l can tell you If you had the backbone to get up in the convention tomorrow and decline the nom- nation and go before ihe people as an in- dopendent candidate, with the record you have made as the enemy Of the worst pol itical gang In this country you would he elected and would become leader
 The governor laughed heartily and re- piled good naturally:
 Young man. you may be in politics some day yourself, and when you get there you will find ont that to win you will have to run with the machine
 'ii, we live. governor, l shall show you that inc gang in politics has got to go,' replied Whtlock
 This was said in 1892. When Illinois elected Democratic state ticket Whit

lock was appointed secretary to Secretary of State Buck Henrichs, who was a jolly fellow and a mixer His ambition was far above his capacity. But he was sue cessful. He would probably admit that much of his success was due to the advice of his youthful secretary.
 WhitloclS broke away from Illinois when his friend Buck quit politics and went back to Ohio While he dabbled in fiction he kept in touch with politics.
 He had adhered to his original idea that the Independent plan must eventually win out He has never veered from this course.
 It landed him in the mayoralty chair of Telodo the day that gang and machine politics went on the rocks in Cincinnati. Ex-Governor Campbell, who became political wreck In Ohio, and afterward came to New York, may recall if he will that the young man whose opinion he laughed at in Cleveland has lived to see his prophecy fulfilled.

 By shifting the orchestras around nearly all the employees have a chance to hear the music at some time of the day, and it helps them, I am sure, to keep good-natured and civil. l have often po- ticed how the expression of a girls face changes as soon as she hears a lively air.
 Naturally, this increase of cheerful ness has an influence on their sales, just as customer who is in a pleasant mood will spend more money than one who is in a bad humor.

Prosperity In South America.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Buenos Ayres. the capital of the Argen- tine republic has just passed the 100000 mark in population. It is the fourteenth city in the world in inhabitants, and is by far the largest city on the western hemisphere, outside of New York, Chi- cago, and Philadelphia. Fifteen years ago Rio de Janeiro was ahead of it. Now the Brazilian city is far behind. Thirty years ago Buenos Ayres was exceeded In population by St. Louis, Boston and Balti- more. It is far in front of these big United States towns today. It is growing as fast as Chicago, and faster than Ber- lin.
 That city, and the country of which it Is the political and business center, are among the worlds marvels although the world has not yet observed it. Argentina has an area almost as great as all the United States east of the Mississippi, al

 One day they showed me a most mag indecent album, jewelled and enameled on he cover and with gorgeously illumi- hated leaves This contains the sigma tures of the Venetians who made this cstimonial to their beloved Patriarch when he was elected to the chair of St. 'eter.
