Im flfivm-ninnnt IIf Ttr.i Tl.oioninil Ttta.'t.r.'a on Hie Vui'I.i.k ItHMrrvaliona. "There are, iu round numbers, some .lO, 000 Indians in this country," said Miss Kstello Keel, Superintendent of Indian schools, recently, "aud tho Gov ernment has upon the various reser vations about 250 boarding and day schools, iu which over 2000 teachers are employod. Tho work is divided, part of each day being spent in study and a part in industrial work. The girls are taught to become good houso- eepers, aud aro instructed iu all that pertains thereto; while tho boys aro taught farming and the ordinary in dustrial arts. Besides these schools, which aro situated near the homes of the Indians, there are several where the higher branches aud the seioutitic trudes nro taught, such as the far famed Carlisle school, the Haskell in stitute and the Hampton institute. Since these were organized, a few years ago, there have been a largo number of graduates, low have re turned to their old life, and as a re sult of the practical work done in the schools there are a number of Indians employed as teachers, cooks, matrons, seamstresses and disciplinarians. Thus we see thnt gradually the Indian question will he solved when the com ing generntiou is taught to become self-supporting and to follow the or dinary walks of life, tho same as their white brothers. "There is considerable dispute among educators as to whether our efforts aro wasted. The opinion that much of theso-oalled Indian education is wasted, and that the Indian boy or girl upon returning from school im mediately returns to camp life, is held by many. I believe thut we must bet ter the aims of tho young Indmu, and to do this tho youth must be brought tuto and kept in our civilization, un less our civilization is takeu to him. In many instances where tribes of lu diatiB have been surrounded by a good oluss of white settlers the debasing camp lifo is ending. Major I'ratt, superintendent of the Uarlisle school, holds that the Indian children must In some way be placed under the inrlu ence of individual contact with Ameri can life and citizenship. The placing of Indian boys and girls at service iu families of farmers, although for a few months only, has met with abuudaut success. I believe that young Indian womeu need industrial educatiou as well as young men, for when you civil ize the wife you civilize the home. For that reason I strongly urge that sewing, cooking and economic house keeping shall be the leading factois in every Indian girl's education." A ItelU' or Utile Blir Horn. Captain Alfred Kelly, of the yacht Louise, of Tort Clinton, has iu his possession a relio of the Custer mas sacre of several years ago in the shape of an army cornet used by the bugler of Custer's corps in that terrible con flict. The relic came into possession of a friend of oue Clemous, now a sailor on a jacht of which Kelly is master. The friend gave the bugle to demons some few years ago, when the latter was a naval brigadier. Clemous iu turn gave the horn to Kelly, and the trophy now graces the ahin of the lionise as an ornament and monument to the memory of the sacred dead whose lives were lost in that memorable scene of carnage aud disaster, "when Custer's entire brigade was slam. Clevelund Leader. A Tree Wl.lcli Was Woililpie.t. The cypress, in ancient times, was cousidered a sacred tree, aud idols were made of cypress wood. The l'a citio Coast Iudiaus used it as an em blem of purification. Tho Daootan Iudians had a superstition concerning the cedar tree. They imagined that thunder was a manifestation of the storm god, Wa-Kau-Da, thunder-birds and his messenger producing the noise designated as thunder. These birds lived in cedar trees, and henoe the oedar tree beoaiue au object of worship and the oedar pole an emblem of the highest value. The Wear aud Tear or Hhoe. We wear away two inches of shoe leather in a year. A pair of boots that would "last a lifetime" would, consequently, have to be provided with soles from eight feet to nine feet thick. INDIVIDUALITY IN DRESS, A I. Ine nf-Stinly Rinfuo.lpit For Wnnimi Who Wonlil lis Spn.llilr llrmaril. The mention of individuality iu dress at first appalls one's mind by conjuring boforo it the vision of weird nd dowdy aud eccentric costumes, inch as are wont to express tho ag gressive individualities of some of Dili' strong-miudod women of to-day. lint we look forward nt the name time to a cultivation of tho artistic taste iu everybody which shall insure that our .out nines bo delightful to look at as well as convenient to wear. At pres 3ut, our artistic souse has been so perverted by the inartistic fashions we have for so long boon accustomed to see around us that it will take time before we can- struggle nut of the slough of depravity in matters of taste. It is much that our strong uinded sisters have made a protest in favor of comfort and good sense with regard to clothing. Utility lies on the road to beauty. Two-lines of study might bo sug gested: (1) Of ourselves as we leave the hands of nature. (2) Of tho ap priateuess of our dress to tho occa sion. To this may added a third, the study of nature for suggestions as to color combinations. It may be taken as an nxioiu that natuie knows what she is about, aud that if she sends us into tho world w ith straight hair for iti ftance, it is probably because that harmonizes better with the cast of our features aud the general significance of our expression than would curly hair, lint we are constantly seeing instances where all that is character istic aud of spiritual significance iu a physiognomy has been obliterated, and all that is ordinary and even vul gar brought out and mado prominent, by artificial treatment. Wo tlrst must appieciate that beauty shows itself iu many types, nud then lour ri to recog nizo our own, and proceed according ly. Our stm!y ought also to reveal to us our defects, and prevent our dressing in a way to emphasi.o those, as, to give the usual broad example, a stout woman should not wear spots, nor a tall, thin woman longitudinal stripes. Tho same caution applies, of course, to color, and no sallow-coiu-plexioued womau of auy judgment will bo induced to attire herself in pink or green, no matter whether these happen to be most fashionable tints. Nowadays there are two classes of women who pay reverence to fashion; there aro those who change their man ner of dress iu order to he diifereut from tho rank and file, as well as those who change it in order to be like others. The desire for distinction, though as yet it may ouly be a mat ter of habit with the leaders of fash ion, is not au uuworthy one, aud there is hope that it will outgrow Hnohbisli- ness, and, with good motives, spread throughout all classes. When indi viduality dictates fashious, then will be the time of the emancipation of women iu its truest aud deepest sense; when thoy shall have overcome, not merely the artificial restrictions of outside laws, but the weakuess mid follies of thoir own nature. Annio C. 'ttirhoad, iu Now York Post. fine l'olnts III ISlryule Kl.llni. Nothing can be moro dangerous to women cyclists than riding with the saddle-post too high. The correct length of reach cau easily bo tested by sitting upright on the saddlo with one pedal down at its lowest point. With tho leg straight the arch of the foot under the instep should rest naturally on the pedal that is, without leaning the body over to lengthen tho reach, nor bending the knee to shorten it. It is important also that the saddle be adjusted far enough forward so that one Bits directly over her work; noth ing is more tiring than riding a bicycle with the saddle too far back or too low. In either case the knees bcud too much and the muscles of the logs soon bocome exhausted. If tho sad dle is too far back, it is necessary to lean forward iu the ungraceful aud unhealthy position of the "scorcher" in order to reach tho handle-bars. Despite the legion of instruction hooks that have been published aud the number of schools for learning to ride the bicycle, one still sees a great many of the women who wheel making the same old mistakes. They do not sit upright on the machine as they should, with the shoulders thrown back, the chest out, and the head erect. Not ouly is this the most graceful position for riding, but it is also the most healthful. Curiously euotigh, oornmon sense and vanity, usually diametrically opposed to each other, are united in this point. The womau who rides with her head aud shoulders bent forward over the handle-liars, whether she "scorches" or rides leis urely, is not only hopelessly ungraoe ful, but she deprives herself of the healthful advantages of the exercise, for cramped lungs cannot breathe proporly aud the heart soou labors in this position. Harper's Bazar. Binnrt Women Who Wear Slinm Jewel, A (feneration or two ago no woman of refinement wore jewels which could not stand the most severe test. lo dav Booiety women with slim bank ac counts do not hesitate to have costly necklaces aud jeweled ornaments de plicated in paste, and they wear these with the greatest freedom. Many people consider it vulgar to wear imitation tilings, imt it tue tie' signs are artistic and good aud the stones clear and bright there is cor taiulv reason to inquire why it is more vulgar to wear rhineBtoues thau diamonds. Boauty is its own excuse In the wearing of ornaments, as iu most other things, muoh depends on the woman who wears them, r or iu stance, a large row of Bbam pearls worn in the daytime is stigmatized as bad taste, while a smaller one worn round tho ueck in the evening would be unnoticed. Large-stoned imitation diamond jewelry is at all times vulgar, but a pretty, well-made French ornament of sparkliug paste for their hair gives as sood as effect as the real tumir and is only less goo I because it ha? cost less ruouey. A Womau of refined taste and good judgment will nvoid buying too many sham ornaments or those of too re markable a size, and then if hIm: should add a lloiuan pearl string to her Oriental one or put a glitterino I'arisiau aigrette in her hair she will find few to blamo her or call her vulgar. A New Otar.iatlon For Womrn. A young woman in New York City last, winter added a uew occupation to tho list available for womou. She round it quite by nccident. Having occasion to look for something to do, alio asked a friend for advice, and tho friend, chancing to be in some per plexity for the momeut, said: "I have been wondering whom I could get to accompauy my daughters to aud from school, which begins next week. Would you be wtlliug to escort them every day until you find something better?" Tho young woman accepted and be gan her simple duties with a remu neration of $) a week. Soon she was asked to accompany them to matiuees, and before long was the companion on many pleasant outings, as the yonncr girls liked hor exceedingly. In a short tiino thrco others were added to tho party from families of friends, every one paying tho same sum, which mado SI 2 a week. Tho second year the number was increased to eight, and as there were many presents of pretty but expensive trifles of dress, nud not infrequently of ft handsome gown or hat, tlio income proved am ple for comfortable support.

Bo lero coats and skirts of Rand color and cinnamon nro worn with gay-colored blouses and fancy waistcoats, and when black is worn some brilliant touch of color is worn to relieve its sombreness. One costume consists of a black cloth skirt aud n little coat of scarlet silk fastened with olio enor mous gold tlligreo button, and fin ished at the throat with a big Di roctoirc bow.

Um pire combs iu'9 still popular, aud pom padour combs have not disappeared. but tho "hair hinder, as tlio clasp for the short hairs is called, is worn universally. Imitations of real shell horseshoes, with rhinestono decora tion, are a favorite desigu, and suakes abound iu metal an., shell. Khaki aud beige tints of nil kinds and degrees are very much woru. A novelty iu thin summer gowns is a white organdie trimmed with ecru luce insertion. Light tan straw hats are novel, aud they are embellished by a largo chou or bow of the same colored silk. A V-shapod ueck, filled iu with transparent lace, is a pretty accom paniment for the laco uudorsloevo. Orgaudles ou which the desigu is painted on the under side are the prettiest examples of pastel colorings. The nock bauds ou our gowns are high and straight arouud, and very simply trimmed, a result, no doubt, of the tendeucy to crowd so much dec oration ou this one small portiou of the bodice. Twine-colored batisto, decorated with guipure lace applique of the same color, is usod for fancy collar and rovers ou cloth jackets as a substitute for satiu covered with lace and for de tached collars as well. Black not, well covered with appli cations of black tatleta, makes a very pretty short cape, finished with frills of lace and chiffon. This sort of gar ment is made iu cream tints as well, and also in gray and beige.

The following is a brief summary if tho principle means which have liecu mado use of recently for facili tating thin important military work: 1. Specially J. rained Scouts and Orderlies General Sheridan was the first on tho Northern side in tho Civil War to object to having his cavalry frittered away and worn out in outpost .luty, and General (trant had the good euse to uphold linn, io free the avalry of the smaller elements of its reconnoissanco work, aud economize its flghtiug power as much as ossi- ble, most of the great nations are now training a kind of monuted infantry in this work. Iu Germany each nrmy corps has a squadron of "mounted jrderlies" of this kind, nud they havo proved invaluable; iu liussia a num ber of the best men in each company arc mounted and trained iu patrol and recoiinoissaiico duty, instruct ed in riding horses and bicy cles, and exercised by affording them opportunities to engage in bear and tiger hunts; iu Kugland each brigade of the cavalry division sent to South Afrion received a battalion of mounted infantry with a Maxim gun; 'in Aus tria mounted scouts assist the cavalry in their reconnoitering. As an iueeii live to training for this work, the va rious nations have instituted distuuee rides and walks. 2. Field anil Wireless Telegraphy -Tho improvements iu field tele graph apparatus have permitted tho use of this valuable accessory in the rory front of tho outposts, nud the introduction of the buzzer has so far increased its efficiency that with even the poorest insulation it works well enough for all practical purposes. Our Signal Corps in the Philippines has surpassed all previous records iu this field. Wireless telegraphy is still in the experimental stage, although it is now being tested practically in the field iu tho Transvaal. Improvements are being constantly mado, aud its future cannot yet bo predicted. I). Optical Telegraphy The helio graph lias been specially developed ju sunny climates; by the British iu Afghanistan nno. iu Africa; by the French in Tonkin; by the Americans in the United States, aud by the Greeks in Creto. It has been used successfully over single stretches of sixty-five miles. In France the acety lene lamp n as greatly increased the tiso of tho apparatus by making it in dependent of sunlight, and signals have been road ns far an thirty-seven miles by day aud fifty-six miles by night. In Italy the acetylene lamp has been read at a distuueo of sevonty-two miles. Tho navy searchlights landed iu Cape Colony havo been used for Hash signalling aud havo greatly ex tended the range. 4. Searchlights The use of search lights by ships aud by coast aud other forts is well known, but recently they have also been applied on battlefields for hunting up the wounded. Acety lene gas is used whore electricity is not available. fi. Cairior Pigeons Tho nse of car rier pigeons from fixed stations like cities and forts has long beou known, but lately they have been used suc cessfully in the French field mamcu vros, their houses being carried along by the troops. In Russia in 1808 cavalry patrolB carried along the car rior pigeons of tho forts, and it was found that iu returning to their homes they traveled at the rate of live-eighths of a mile a minute. A number cf pigoous have been sent from tho besieged city of Ladysmith with dispatches to Durban, a distance of 200 miles, The great advantage of carrier pigeons to tho navy lies iu the tact that tlio scouting vessels ot a fleet can scud back information from long distances without themt elves re turning. (I. War Dogs Pigoous merely re turn to their homes or to their feeding places, but dogs act much more intel ligently, aud are therefore useful in a greater variety of ways. Iu the first plaoe, they have been used in recon noisauce duty, in carrying messages, and iu couueotiug outposts aud senti nels. Iu the second place, they have proved invaluable iu hunting up the rounded after the battle. The collie has been found best for all purposes. The English used dogs to great ad vantage, iu Mabibelelaud, for exam ple, for giving warning of the ap proach of the enemy's soouU iu the dark, and in advance of the head of column to scout the enemy. Ger many, Austria, Sweden, Norway and Italy are now training dog for use in war. 7. Balloous Most of the great na tions havo balloon parks for the field, aud they are ho light that they are easily curried etuu iu the train of the advance guard. The old spherical balloon is so unsteady, even in a wind of twenty feet a second, that it is im possible to observe from it, but tho now cylindrical (dragon) balloon can be used iu wind of twice this velocity. A new use of the balloon is ou tor pedo bouts going at eighteen knots an hour, aud by uscendiug some 1700 yards it was possible iu this way to see from Kiel (Germany) to beyond llugeu aud Copenhagen, thuscouuect ing the North Sea and tho Baltic. The first British Army Corps that was sent to South Africa curried with it two balloon sections, whioh have been aotively in use since their arrival. 8. Cyclists The number of cyclists in the European armies has been gradually iucreasiug of late years. As long ago as 13'Jl Kuglaud had over ISOOO iu her army. Italy is now or ganizing a cyclist company in oaoh Beriaglieri regiment, for recouuais-. sauce aud messenger duty, aud special engineer section, for the rapid destruction of railroads aud telegraph lines; France has a cyclist company for each army corps and cavalry divi sion, Bussin eight cyclists in each regiment, and other nations use aeon, stnntly increasing number in the autumn inano'tivres. i. Automobiles Automobiles are to bo used not only behind tho front of the irmies that is, with the trniur but also at the front with tho troop? themselves. At the last French mauii'itvres thoy were employed to transport tho outposts, for carrying orders, etc., and nt the last German mnnn'tivres eight such wagons, sonic' largo traction benzine motors and other small automobiles, wero used with such success that a number ol both kinds have since been ordered for the army. The purpose of the larger wagons is to transport ammuni tion, supplies and tunterial; their great advantage is their speed nndtbo fact that they reduce (by half to two thirds) the length of the coluniu of the trains ou account of their groat carrying power, the nbsence of horses, mules or oxen, and of the forage re quired for these draught animals. The smaller wngons are for niosseuger duty, the rapid transport of men aud equipments, outpost duty and hos pital service. In Germany a motor wagon with a load of 4100 pounds, aud two lighter automobiles, recently passed through tho steep roads of tho Harz, and even crossed the Brocket!. Messages were constantly carried dur ing tho recent mann'iivros by light automobiles from C.'arlsruhe to Leon burg (forty-four miles) in 2, hours, and a motor bicycle, iu spite of bad weather, covered tho distance from Augsburg to Carlsruhe in three days. Kugland has used motor wagons lor heavy traffic quite extensively nt Al dershot, and is now using them in tho Transvaal. Among tho latest Kug lish constructions tire (1) a four wheeled automobile, worked by a lieu sine motor, attaining a speed of twenty-five miles nu hour, carrying one mail and a Maxim gun, and (2) un armored motor wagon carrying iu a turret two machine guns and their cannoneers, and also a seurulilight, New York Sun. ANOTHER LOST MINE. IllRrovftry hy a Trair of u Myaliii-limi 1'larei Camp. C. II. Harrii-.on, recently from Wraugcl, tolls an interesting story of a lost or deserted mining camp, savs tho Seattle Post lutclligeucor. During November ho was prospecting in Wrangel narrows and met a man who was hunting and trapping for beaver. This man informed Harrison that while exploring a creek on tho main land, which appeared favorable for beaver trapping ho noticed some old blazes ou the trees, which, out of curi osity, he decided to follow. From tho character of the blazes they ap peared to bo twenty or thirty years old. Ho camo to an old cabin which showed signs of age and decay. The cabin was nearly rotted down and ap peared to havo been covered with a tent. In going up tho creek he found that at some ancient period a dam hud been constructed nud the creek had beou turned and so well had tho work beou done with logs and rocks that it was still intact and tho river had cut another channel. Niue claims had been located and from the wear of nge the notjhos had nearly grown out, where it was evi dent that many years ago the location notices had been written. Tho claims were about loOO feet iu length. At the head of tho river are the remains of a dead glticier. Old sluice boxes were also found, which, from their rotten condition, appeared to havo been about thirty feet long, aud also different holes whore tho minors had evidently sunk to bedrock. Tho huuter, whose name Mr. Har rison would not disclose, claimed thut he was not familiar with mining and not huving a pan did not prospect for gold. Two old shovels with tho bandies rottod off wero iu the old log house. Arrangements' havo been mado by Mr. Harrison with the hunter to guide him to the mine next spring. He also made inquiries' at Wraugol which brought out tho fact that the hunter was a reliable aud trustworthy man. To the oldest inhabitant of the vicin ity of Wrangel the lost iniuo is a mystery. Mr. Harrison says the work ou tlio dam must have been done about twenty years ago aud the ground was either poor and abandoned or it was rich aud the miners made a stake in a short time and returned home, never letting out their secret, or Borne misfortune overtook them aud buried their secret with their death. No Waote In the !. . It is remarkable to what an extent the ox, when slaughtered, is utilized. Not so very long ago fully forty per cent, of the carcass was wasted, it may be said that to-day nothing is wasted; everythiug, from the horns to the tail, is turned iuto money. The blood is used in the refining of sugar, or is hardened and employed in the manufacture of door-knobs aud handles; the skiu goes to the tanner; the horns and hoofs are turned into combs aud buttous, the shin-bones iuto backs of clothes brushes. The bones of the forefeet ure worth $25 a ton, being made iuto collar buttous, umbrella haudles and various novel ties, after the marrow has bocu boiled out of them. Tho small bones m e burned iustead of coal. From each foot a considerable quantity of oil is extracted ; tho tail is made into soup. The hair goes to the mattress maker aud upholsterer; the fut to oloo makets ; tho intestines are tisad as sausage wrappers, or are sold to gold-heaters. Even tho undigested stuff in the stomach is turned to account, being made into paper. If anything is left over It is turned iuto glue or is pu! nu laud as a fertilizer. I'rcventliiK Itallmail Acrlclii.it.. A Bussian engineer has invented a device for preventing railroad acci dents that has beou successfully tested by officials of the St. Petersburg and Warsaw Railroad. The esseutiul fea ture of the inventiou is an iron tube oounected with the general system of brakes and plaoed in frout of the wheels. At the least irregularity iu the movement of the train the tube, iu oonsequeuce of certain outs made upon it nt intervals, breaks, aud thus produce au immediate stoppage of the oar aud looomotive. ' Russia is much in need of this mechanism, m there are about 700t) railroad atci deuU iu the empire every yvar. KINJgRQARTEN INFLUENCE. It W rartlrolarly IleneUclal to an Only Chllil. Writing of the advanced edu !atlonul Ideas put in votjue at Qulncy, Mas., by Francis Waylund Parker. K. IV. Krackowlzer says la tho Boston ficrald: "i-Mr Maniple, the child from thst moment of enterln the true kinder garten recognizes himself to ho a ro iponslhle member of that little coin munlty. But he quickly apprectutcT, ;oo. that his responsibility Is limlte.t oy his ability. Ho receives no partic ular Inhibitions or Instructions; nn thou-Hhall-nots' or 'thou-shalts'; hut Is Immediately accorded abundant op portunity for contributing to the com mon weal. H plays with his mates, ho studle.4 with them. Hence he feels not only with, but also Tor them. at"t finds his highest joy In serving (ft (immunity which in turn soem- ll th time to be concerned about Homing 80) much as his own welfare and happi ness. On the other hand, the typical 'only' child Is trained Into priggish sel fishness hy the misfortune of his lsol:c fion. No relations to others are estat llshed in his rase except those of an preiimcy; fr.m etch contest he usually nnerRes tho temporary victor, and thereforp'the permanent victim. Now let this unhappy, selfish tyrant, enter tho kindergarten. He sees the other children nt work and pl.iy. He pire gates himself, and finds himself Ignor ed. He Interferes and discovers him self to bo n marplot. Meanwhile, the Rood kindergartener contents herself with permitting him thus to observe nml to milk without apparent restric tion; r.ii.l soon tho good which U com mon to nil human nature begins i twlue Its tendrils about his heart. II longs for companionship, nml even more, he longs for a Just recognition of his own ability and iiM-fulness. And thtM ho npiui'liend.-t the fact that in must become a nicmlior of this living organism subject to all tho other mem bers, and yd Indispensable to each. Ho yields of his own free will and his un happinoss ceases. And hy this object losson he becomes duly ooclnlized ao r as tho childgardcn Is concerned."' RICH PICKINCI FOR SAILORS. Iirltieh Tun Often Ilerlva Fortnnee In 1'rlxa Money. As the minister of war has said, vrn are now at strife with nn enemy which does not even possess a cockle-boat, nml those brave sailors who are fight ing patriotically with their soldier brothers havo not tho additional In centives that used to be held out to tars In the way of treasure ships, tha capture of one of which, incredible us It may seem, In some cases gave each ordinary seaman as much as 2,000 worth then much more than now prize money. It Is not very long slnr-o an old sailor died In London who re membered Bcrvlng on vessels In tho royal navy thut sometimes waited oft one station for a year for a treasure ship they had been warned of, nnd who was present when our cVaft. the Etha llan, captured the Thetis, with $1,700. 000 on board. About tho same time three of our warships, after lying lu wait for months, captured the Santa Brlgada with n treasure of nearly $2. MO.OOO In her hold. It needed sixty three artillery wagons escorted hy armed men nnd bands of music to ronvey tho treasure to the citadel of Plymouth, and each captain received as prize money . 40, 730; each lieutenant had 5,100 and each seaman and ma rine 182.
