Minneapolis. Minn.-The national
government will pay the state Of Min
nesota $4,000 to defray the expenses
of the Indian war in this state in
1923. The uprising came Just At .
time during the civil war when 1t
looked as II the north would have
England to fight as well as the south.
Thousands of armed Indians rushed
over the border from Canada. and the
rational government was unable to
protect the settlers. -
The state raised militia under Gov.
Ramsay and the invaders were chased
beyond the borders and hundreds of
them were slain. but not before many
settlers had been massacred
After the close of the war the state
made claim on the national govern
ment for the cost OF the war, and it
has been hanging fire ever since.

Keep Furniture In Repair.

Loose rungs on chairs are annoying
besides giving the pieces of furniture
the appearance of cheapness and gen.
eral disability. They may be easily
made tight by filing the grooves into
which they are fitted with good
glue. AS soon as this dries and the
rounds, are made secure the glue that
has run down on the outside may be
Clipped on with knife. A looss arm

OLD COLONY ON WANE.
LAST REMAINING sETTLEMENT
or FRENCH PASSING AWAY.
With Decline Of Fisheries little Town
on Island Of Miqusion. on Mouth
Of ct. Lawrence, Fast Be-
coming Dspopulated.

Sydney, C. B.4The last remaining
settlement OF the once vast domain Of
France on the North American con-
Pierre. on the island of Miquelon. on
the mouth OF the st. Lawrence river.
Is fast becoming depopulated. Grave
concern is felt by the French govern
ment over the serious condition Of af-
fairs. The feeling of the French gov
eminent over the shrinkage In this
tiny island possession is not due to
pride alone. From the intrepid ma
rines of Miquelon she picks the men
from whom she builds the fighting
strength of her navy.
The exodus of the Inhabitants of
Miquelon has long been noted. Can
ada is striving to build up her great
northwest and is offering strong In
ducUments to immigrants. The fish
ing industry of st. Pierre has been
q failure for the last two or three
years. and with the sole means of
sustenance taken from them the de-
scendants of the hardy French ex-
plorers have faced actual starvation.
Government steps have been I'M
equal to relieving the privations en-
dured by its coionists. Recently 100
immigrants landed at North Sydney
from one schooner in charge of DR..
T. A. Brisson. head of the colonial
tton department for the province of
Quebec. DR.. Brisson says that on
the next trip 200 more will come.
and that the end will not be even
then, and the population Of Miquelon
Is numbered only by hundrede.
The hardness that has made the
men of Miquelon famous In romances
OF the sea will now be employed in
new ventures. Nearly all the able
bodied men have been promised en-
ployment in pioneer railroad con-
struction. and others will seek some
steads in the wheat belt.
France has made determined Of
forts to maintain this foothold In the
west. When the tide of emigration
set from the island she filled up the
gap with colonists from the fishermen
of her own shores. But with the de-
cline of the fisheries and with the
ceaseless struggle for meager exist
ence growing continually harder. tho
coloDists have refused to remain.

AROUND THE HOUSE
LATEST IDEA IN EMPLOYMENT
OF DOMESTIC HELP.
Having Servant In for Half the Day
Does Away with Necessity for
Providing Room Where space
! In Home 10 Small.

Some housekeepers are now trying
the plan of employing domestic help
for only part of day. without going
I to the expense of having to provide
an extra room for permanent maid.
One family engaged a helper for the
four morning hours, from eight to IL,
for four dollars a week. During that
time she swept. busted. washed all
the d,shes, those left from dinner Of
the day before as well as the break
fast china; prepared vegetables, made
beds, accomplished a great deal Of
ironing. OF course, all this was not
done in one morning. The work for
each day was planned beforehand.
good service could be had. but when
one considers that space and furni-
ture are saved and no meals given,
this kind OF a servant Is in reality
cheaper than regular general" In
a small family fiat does not always
furnish enough work for the whole
time of a maid, and nothing Is more
trying for maid and mistress than for
the former to have idle hands in 80
small space. Restlessness and dis
content are sure to arise. while the
housekeeper cannot conscientiously
enjoy doing little cooking or house
work on her own account lest she
take away the excuse that keeps her
servant. 1t would be more satisfac-
tory in such case to dismiss the
general" for an hourly worker II 1t

ing to answer ones own dOorbell at

ment Many q housewife pays good
wages to an Indifferent maid.
Much of your china, bric-a-brac. and

could be mended II a little care were
given to 1t. 1t is not difiicult to glue
the pieces together II one is particu-
lar about fitting the edges closely. An
expensive china or glass water pitch
er can be made serviceable again II
water Is not left standing in 1t. On
account of glass being transparent, 1t
Is the most difficult to repair. because
1t must be mended so carefully that
the cracks will not show.
For clear glass the best kind of
glue is made from solution of fsin-
glass and gin, of which two ounces
of the former and one-half pint Of the
latter are dissolved in q bottle. As
1t will take some time to accomplish
this, the bottle should be placed In
the sun and shaken daily. The liquid
should then be strained through q
fine cloth. The glass to be mehded
must be well washed in hot suds. we'll
dried, and the glue applied with a
small hair brush. When the pieces
have been fitted together they should
be held In place by strips OF muslin
until the glue dries.
For mending bric-a-brac good
paste can be made Of sifted plaster Of
paris mixed with the beaten white of
an egg. The repairing. however, must
be done quickly, as the paste hardens
raDidly.
