be blamed for his conduct.

Freckles must be treated in the

An excellent cucumber milk, which
is said to be a specific with sensitive
skins for sunburn or freckles, and
which is most useful for the roughness
following skin injuries at the sea-
shore or in the country, is made in this
way:
OIL of sweet almonds. ounces
Fresh cucumber juice ............10 ounces
essence OF cucumoers. 1870. ounces
Powdered CASTLE soap, (white)....A ounce
Tincture Of benzoin .....-........2-3 dram
The cucumber juice is obtained by
DO1llnS Cne vegetables III very lIIIlS
water. Slice these, skin and all, and
let them cook in a double boiler until
mushy; strain through a fine sieve and
then through a cheesecloth. Make
the essence by putting an ounce and
half of the cucumber juice into the
same quantity of high-proof alcohol.
Put the essence and the soap in a
large preserve jar with tight top, and
shake the mixture a good deal. After
some hours the soap will be dissolved,
when it is time to put in the cucumber
juice. Shake the jar until the two
mixtures thoroughly blend, then pour
out into a crockery bowl and add the
oil and benzoin, beating with silver
fork until the liquid is creamy. The
cucumber juice must be strong, for it
is the arsenic in the vegetable which
gives it a bleaching power.
Put the milk in small bottles, cork
ing them tightly and keeping them in
the dark. Shake always before using.
This mixture is Immediately absorbed
by the skin and so it is very grateful
after new sunburn.

the next time we met him was in
Bismarck. He had been appointed
Indian Inspector and sent out west to
see that Indian agents didn't rob the
Indians.
Gen. Clusters exposure of the Ind
ian Ring forced Secretary of War
Belknap to retire in disgrace and it
was this that caused President Grant
to arrest and humiliate Custer.
Another favorite way of robbing the
Indians was for the cattle contractor
to drive his cattle around a hill or a
patch of timber and weigh the same
cattle as often as robber methods
would permit without running too
much risk. A few years ago we asked
an old Indian beef contractor how
often he had weighed the same cattle
on the day Of delivery, six times
that is he had weighed each steer 6
times and turned over six hundred
head OF steers on paper, when he act
ually turned in 100 head. An army
officer over 1t Fort Thompson, on the
Missouri river, tried this game once
on his own hook, but the Ring was
jealous of him and they gave him
away. He was dismissed from the SER
vice. He was a Captain in the regu-
lar army and his father vas a noted
Union general in the army of the Po-
tomac. We thought the White Earth
robbers and plunderers were all dead,
but it seems not, but there ought to
be a cleaning out that will be memoir
able.

In the early history Of Indian Ring
robbery, 1t was a part of the agents

The facetious Tennessean rises to
remark:
GAS the people Of the North and
the people of the South have learned
to know each other better than they
formerly did they are getting to do
things the same way. Formerly
there was no lynching in the North.
Now that section cannot point with
scorn to the South when a mob
avenges crime, for there are now
as many mobs and as many lynch
ings in the North as there are in the
South. This infection which advanc-
ing civilization is trying to uproot is
in all sections alike. On that point
there is no North and no South-we
are all one people"
This may be the belief of a mind
trained in the North with no knowl-
edge of the evil things in the history
of section that has much magnified
it's own virtues, while emphasizing
the sins Of it's neighbors. There
were mobs and lynchings in the
North before such things were known
in the South.
In November, 1887, Eliza P. Love-
joy was the victim of a mob at Alton,

Giant Steamships.

The sinking of the Titanic, one Of
the two 5000 ton vessels, with its
appalling fatality list, may result in
further Improvement in marine archi-
lecture, but as the designer Of the
i'll fatod Steamer points out, there
can be no such thing as an unsink-
able ship. 1t is seen that a terrific
collision with an iceberg destroys
the strongest Of them.
A question will naturally arise now
as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of building
such mammoth steamers as the
Titanic and the Olympic. The Titanic
had passenger capacity Of some
thing like 4,000 and had the disaster
occurred at a season OF the year when
travel is heaviest the number of souls
drowned would probably have been
twice as great as the number that
persisted Monday morning.

10000 ton displacement, and a con-
tract has been awarded for a still
larger steamer. This is an age Of
luxury and of stupendous construc-
ton. But will there be no limit to
the capacity Of ships? The larger
the ship the easier the motion, and
consequently there is less seasickness
among the passengers. But better

passengers aboard the ship than run
the risk of wholesale destruction of

Nearing a Parcels Post.

The recent action Of the House Of
Representatives in placing itself on
record as in favor of a general
domestic parcels post is a perceptible
stride toward an expansion of gov
ernmental activity for which Ameri-
can sentiment is and long has been
almost a unit.
1t is possible that in the heat and
confusion of a session preceding
presidential election, only tentative
progress will be made toward the
instituting Of parcels post. But
even should the measure be emascu-
lated by Republican senate, the
development will be Of value as plac-
ing on record the now-concealed enc
mics of the reform, and the people
may be depended upon to reckon
with them.
The amazing feature of the situa-
ton is that Congress should have
been SO slow in enacting q measure
for which the demand in this c0un-
try has for many years been virtually
unanimous. Under our treaties
with the majority Of the civilized
nations, it is possible to mail an
eleYen-pOund package from Atlanta,
for instance, to Hongkong, or to
scores Of points thousands Of miles
from America, at 2 cents q pound.
Even the negroes Of Haiti enjQMhhe
privilege Of mailing packages tSRBhis
country at that rate, and~receiving
them under similar conditions; while
The American farmer and Americans
generally, if they wish to send eleven
pounds of merchandise through the
mails must, first. split it into three
packages and pay Is cents pound
for the privilege Of sending it to the
next county.
Such an anomaly is absolutely
indefensible, especially in view of
the fact that both great parties, one
by it's platform and the other by ines
capable inference, stand committed
to it's undoing. In England, Ger
many and the majority of European
countries, a general parcels post has
long been in effect, to the great bene-
fit Of the farming and general popu-
lation, and the profit Of the govern
ment. The argument, here and there
raised in America, that parcels post
would increase the postoffice deficit
has been absolutely disproyed in the
case Of Europe Instead of being a
liability upon the government reve-
nues, a general parcels post, under
liberal regulations, has everywhere
and steadily increased governmental
income.
The other objections to a parcels
post-such, for illustration, as that
it would injure the country merchant
have been exploded. 1t has been
