Indian problem, based on his long ox:
t'.ict with the reel nnr. Hebcliovcs that
wio Indiun can be mudo a self-supporting
and useful citizen, and all that fa

"During the war just ended," said he
to a writer for the Wellington Post, "I
had the Indians tit work on a big irri
gating canal, of whi ;h noven miles have
been completed. They made as good
laborers as I cv-:t saw and worked
cheerfully for one dollar per day. In
addition tothat they mined enough grain
for the reservation and to supply the
neighboring military post, having a
surplus besides to nail. They hauled
every pound of freight from the railway
terminus to the agency, a distance of
one hundred and fifi y miles. The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of a century hate to see them
beginning to get on a self-supporting
bads, for then there will be no more
:.io:icy to bo made; out of them. For
Í hat reason every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts of rrJsrcprosenta
tions made by these parties, v.mo dread
to sec their occupation gone. During
all ury experience ia the Wc.it I have
never known an administration thai has
dealt with the Indians in as clean and
conscientious a way as tho present. The
secretary of tho interior has, wuhout
any partisan bias, done in every in
stance h3 best to promote the interests
of the tribes and the government, and, '
from my own observation, I think that j
he has thus far been very successful."

When Lady Margaret Grosvenor,
third surviving daughter of the duke of
Westminster, gave her hand to Trinco
Adolphus of Tcck, the other day, says
tho Philadelphia Times, her father gave
with it a marriage portion of five mil
lion dollars. Tho bride, the. daughter oí
probably tho richest man in tho work1.,
is rather a good-looking girl whose per
sonality, to say nothing of such a fabu
lous dot, would seem to entitle her to
something better in tho way of a hue-1
kind than the impecunious young lan-
cor whoso name she now bears. The !
prince is an officer in the seventeenth !
lan jers, the full uniform of which regi
ment ho woro when married. The
wedding presents numbered about five
hundred, and included enough jewelry
to start a store. The newly wedded
pair will in future be known as "their
sereno highnesses the prince and prin
ces: of Teck

TO IMP. .OVE YOUri LOOKS.
Devices for Milking tho Cnmplcx'.on Bet
ter nml Adding to Physical Hoiiuty.
Vanity furnishes tho inspiration for
many of the inventions of tho patent
office. One of these is a mask of very
thin rubber, designed to bo worn on
the face at night. It causes profuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out of the skin and makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re
moved, so it Í3 claimed.
Another device for producing dim
ples, according to tho Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, is a woman's idea. It
is a wiro mask, likewise to put on when
going to bed. By an arrangement of
screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are
made to press upon the checks and
chin at the points whore dimples are
desired. Uncomfortable? Why, of
course. But, as tho French say, it is
worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.
False busts, hips and calves arc made
of rubber, to bo blown out like bal
loons, and in many other styles, while
t.ie young lady of bund hopelessly
keletonesque may procure a complete
stuffed jacket which fills out her form
at every point to the extent requisite
for counterfeiting desirable embon
point. If one is so unfortunato as to lack a
nose he can obtain a false one of papier
mache, artfully enameled to imitate
the skin. One kind of imitation pro
boscis is attached to a spectacle frame,
so that the owner puts on his counter
feit nasal organ in adjusting his
glasses.
Masculine vanity is concerned in the
cnesi3 of about eighty patents for
various kinds of mustache guards. One
such is a gold plate with a spring,
which may bo fastened to any drink
ing vessel at a moment's notivc.
Another 3 especially designed for
beer glasses. A tube connecting with
it goc3 down deep into tho beer, so that
.Í 'i0 mustached drinker is able to avoid
the foam.
Other guards arc destined to be worn
l!io spectacles roinewhat, with wires
to pass to tho back of tho cars of the
vcarcr, and hold them on. Tho shield
for the mustache is of gold or silver, or
of fine gold wiro net.
THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.
A View oí Their Present Condition and
rros,i!fts for tho 1 uture.
What nro tho prospects of tho people?
That depends in tho present case large
ly upon the people themselves. A peo
ple that aro not united will never bear
taxation patiently, because a disunited
people cannot bo commercially pros
perous, and, therefore; cannot afford to
pay tho taxes. The difference between
north and south Italy, or between Pied
mont and Sicily, nro not, indeed, like
thoso between Ireland and England,
largely religious, but they are certain
ly radical, and tho gulf between the
easygoing, but passionate, children of
the two SÍJÍÜC3 and tho hardy moun
taineer and stalwart cultivator of tho
Piedmont plains is almost as wide as
the chasm between the Teuton and the
'. It. Victor Emanuel's favorite uniticr
of Italy was the army, but, Bayath.
Fortnightly Review, it has turned in tho
hands of his successor into a disin
tegrator. It was all very well to move
the army up and down Italy when the
army was a symbol of common libera
tion from which so much was expected;
but now tho tyrants arc gone there is
no longer halo of romance about the
army, nothing but army bills. The
tyrant now is the tax collector.
Undoubtedly the people have a griev
ance. Tho taxes have been not only
cruelly but unjustly exacted. The col
lector ha3 entered Sicilian cottages,
backed by tho police, and, seeing the
pot-a-feu smoking, argued that those
who could ai.'ord to eat could afford to
pay a "supplement'' or excess tax, and
if it turned out there was no money,
ha oCleir. of tho lav have been known
tJ seine tho dinner and throw it out the
window, under the noses of tho poor
peasant and his hungry family. There
was no redress for the subjects of Hum
bert any more than for those of Bomba,
when hi3 police, under . the brutal
Manisalco at Palermo, dragged the
wives and daughters of the I'alcrmitans
out of bed, stole their jewelry and ar
rested their husbands and brothers on
lietitious charges. People will always
rise against misgovernmcnt and oppres
sion, whether the government calls it
self republican, monarchial or any
other.
A PIE-EATING HORSE.
Ho lias linen Known to Refuso Oats for
1 1 I at un I Sleek.
Leonavd Jacobs, a pie. peddler of An
sonia, Conn., has one of tho most re
markable horses in Connecticut. Other
towns have boasted of horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink beer, but
Jacobs' horso will cat pie, says a local
exchange. The horse is twenty-three
years old. Jacobs' pies come from New
Haven, packed in cases, and iii trans
portation some of them generally get
broken and cannot bo sold. One day
Jacobs threw a broken pie on tho
ground near the horse's head. The ani
mal smcllcd of it, touched it with his
tongue, lapped it up and ate it with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
to tho horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was to be had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says "pie" to him, tho horse will
turn his head and wink expectantly.
lie has a decided preference for minea
pie, and tho more raisins and currants
and cider there nro the better he is
pleased. Apple pie is a great favorito
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the applo pie, and this doesn't
seem to agree with tho equino taste.
Pumpkin pie ho likes and cranberry
tarts are an especial delight. Peach,
apricot, berry and prune pies are ac
ceptable, but unless the prunes are
stoned ho will not touch pruno pic after
the first bite. The horso is fat, sleek,
and youthful in his movements, and
Jacobs expects to keep hiin on the pie
cart until he is long past the ago wh'.u
most horses arc turned out to grass for
tho rest of their day3 or uro carted to
tho horso cemetery by the sido of the
murky waters of the Naugatuck river.
