There are twenty-six or oma tion as
sociations in active operation in the
United States. The eldest was organ
ized in Washington, Penn., in 1876,
and the two newest are found at New
Haven, Conn., and Elizabeth, N. J.
(1894). The number of incinerations
reported is 8670. The number in
cinerated in Europe from 1876 to 1893
was 19,700. The membership of the
American associations is about 8000,
and the adherents of the method num
ber about 100,000.
The Kiel Canal, which was opened
with such splendid ceremonies, has
now been in use over a year. The
maritime trade has not availed itself
of the shortened passage nearly as
much, thus far, as it was supposed it
would, and in consequence of the fact
tho German Government has deter
mined to reduoe the tolls. The rela
tive reoeipts from tolls are said to
have fallen off considerably since last
October, even with the winter season
excepted. Nearly all the vessels pass
ing through the canal are German,
but there are also some Danish, Dutch
and Swedish, a very few English and
a Russian and a Brazilian ship of war.
The Atlanta Constitution exclaims :
"The ?yes of the world are fixed ad

America the players of seventy mil
lions of people are with her and the
heart cf the country beats as the bi rt
of one man. Though Cuba has a pop
ulation of less than one-half of that of
the United Stated in 1776, Spain has
cent over to the island twice as many
troops as England sent over to con
quer America, The statement throws
light upon the situation and show*
that the Cubans are making one of
the most heroic fights this world has

Queer methods are occasionally
adopted in London to raise money foi
the hospitals. The Lancet says thal
on a recent Sunday in a certain part
of London there was a street proces
sion organized in aid of a hospital.
In addition to the usual bands and
banners of friendly sooieties which ac
company these processions, there
were tradesmen's carts, decorated
with flowers and vegetables, the name
of the owner of the vehicle being, ol
course, conspicuously visible. Bul
the principal "attraction" was a mar
on what was supposed to be a sick
bed, and attended by two nurses, one
of whom was a qualified nurse and the
other a person masquerading in a
nurse's costume.
Philadelphia has opened twelve pub
lic school-yards as playgrounds for
children in the more densely popu^.ted
parts of tho city, announces the New
York Post. At each of them is con
ducted a morning kindergarten, under
the direction of publie school teach
ers, and, in addition, each playground
is supplied with toy3 and games for
the amusement of the younger as well
as the older boys and girls. A sand
heap, with spades and buckets, is
placed in each yard, and tents or awn
ings ara fitted up in those yards not
having sufficient shade to protect the
children from the sun. The cost of
fitting each yard with the articles
needed for the games was about $15.
There are seats for mothers bringing
their babies, and chairs and tables for
tie kindergartens. The janitors, with
authority increased by appointment
as special polioemen, have the care
of the toy? and games and exercise a
general superintendence over tba
children. Like provision was made
for the children last summer and with
very satisfactory results.
Ta^t Pineapple Plantation
Congressman Linton, founder of the
new town south of West Palm Beaoh,
has contracted with W. S. Glow of the
Windella plantation for 100,000 pine
apple slips and suckers for the settlers
of Linton and Boynton, to be issued
in 1000 to 5000 lots. The following
fine varieties comprise the lot : Alaska,
Porto Bico, Egyptian Queen and Rip
ley. The settlers are given until Sep
tember 1, 1898, to make their first
payment, and by that time the first
crop will be on the market. The re
mair ing payments are to be made each
year thereafter. As a result of this
generous deal nearly every settler in
the two new towns has availed himself
of the opportunity to begin a pine
apple farm. _

The Custer Massacre. -

IT ia a fact -worthy of noto that
since Jane 25, 1876, the date
upon which General George A.
Caster and his entire command
were massacred by the Cheyennes, no
serious outbreak apon the part of the
Nation's ward, the American Indians,
Aaa occurred in the United States.
'Let, despite the fact that the Caster
massaore practically dates an entirely
new epoch in the history of the In
dian races of this great country, .ts
twentieth anniversary, which ocourred
recently, passed unnoticed and an
honored, save by a few individuals
with whom the memory of tho little
band of heroes who perished on the
plains is yet green.
Prior to that time Indian uprisings
were of frequent occurrence, for of
the 200 or mort' tribes now in the
United States there are not ten bat
what bave been in revolt at some time
or another.
There aro many residents of San
Francisco, says the Chronicle of that
city, to-day who can recall the Modoc
tioublcs of 1873 and the Bannock war,
ia which King Joseph asserted him
self so persistently, while the Apache
outrages under th ? leadership of Ger
onimo are still fresh in the memory of
many who can by no means be called
old timers.
Daring the pas'; twenty years, how
ever, the Government has been en
gaged in trying to civilize and coatrol
the remnants of these once powerful
bribes on reservations, and with re
markable success. In fact, the Indian
of to-day cac only cast a longing eve
over the old "bunting grounds of his
forefathers, for. although centuries of
livihsr by roaming, war and the cou
mmption of the wild products of na
ture have not especially fitted him for
readily accepting civilization, he hes
been compelled to accept restraint.
The Atlantic coast Indians, the
Cherokees in North Carolina, most cf
the tribes on the northern lakes, and
the remuant of the Six Nations in New
York and Pennsylvania have lon,;
siuc-e ceased to be. troublesome, whilo

Chickasaws and Seminoles, in the In -
dian Territory, once so warlike and
fierce, having intermarried with
whites and tho colored people and
adopted others into their tribes, have
almost entirely lost their identity, and
are now a progressive people.
The Sioux, Comanches, Apaches,
Navajos, Kiowas, Bannocks and oth
ers are on reservations, and, evea if
disposed to belligerency, are so sur
rounded by white uettlements that a
wer would be of short duration.
The Pacific coast fish eaters and
root diggers are peaceable, progres
sive and almost entirely self-support

The reservation Indians, 133,417 in
number, according to the censas of
1890, are located in twenty States and
Territories and form about 147 tribes
or parts of tribes, occupying about
78,500,000 acres of allotted land, but
much of the area of these reservations
is desert.
The present policy of the Govern
ment, the eighth which has been tried
upon the Indian since 1789, is known
as an educational and allotment ene ;
and to the education of all Indian
children at the expense of the Nation
is chiefly due the existing condition
ot affairs.
The best tests of Indian advance
toward civili zation are the adoption of
the white man's dress and habit:., their
engaging in agriculture or the me
chanical arts and in consenting to the
education of their children. Judged

by these three standards the Indians
are slowly but surely progressing
toward Anglo-Saxon civilization.
Whereas in former days the Indian
children were allowed to grow up ia
indolence and hatred of the white
man and his methods, they aro now
educated at National institutions,
rad, being essentially quick und im
itative, soon learn tho white man's
waye.
In addition to those on the various
reservations there are at least 110,000
Indians who are self-reliant and inde
pendent. These having already
learned that it is to their interest to
be like other men are already on an
equality with other races in the
CHIPPEWA IND
United States, and furnish n striking
illustration of the result which may be
attained when the ignorance, inabil
ity and fears of the Indiana arc sub
dued.
The Indian wars under th3 Govern
ment of tho United States have been
more than forty in number. They

have cost tho lives of about 19,000
white men, women and children, and
some 30,000 Indians.
From 1789, the date of the adoption
of the Federal Constitution, to 1846
there were seven seiious wars, aa fol

ans, 1790 1795; William Henry Har

Hawk War, 1832; Creek War in 1813,
1814 and 1837, and the Florida War of
1889.
Between 1846 nnd 1S66, a period of
twenty years, the United States was
engaged in two wars, tLat with Mexico
and the Civil War, in both of which
the Indians figured extensively. Dur
ing this period also there were some
fifteen to twenty Indian affairs in Cal
ifornia.
The Indian wars o? #S57,18G2,1864,
1865 and 1866 in Minnesota and ad

Sinco the Indians hs.ve taken to the
arts of peace and abandoned the war
path, life on the frontier for the
American soldier has become almost
burdensome. It is now a question as
to whether lhe garrison posts which
were necessary along the frontier
when the Indian tribes roamed at
large at will, and at which trained
troops were held in readiness to take

response to the smoke of the signal

be drilled in the art of war. Life at
tho army postB has thus become
monotonous and desultory.-San

Iii Hung' Cl'.aug.
Ko living public man of Asia has
been so much the subject of discus

Much of the criticism has been unfav

It is hardly just to him to estimate hie
character and attainments according
to the standard of. Western Nations.
His educntion is exclusively Oriental,
and his entire life has been spout in
China. His knowledge of our civili
zation is such as could be acquired in
the motley society of a treaty port. As
a statesman he has had to deal with a
very conservative and bigoted constit
uency, and with associates prejudiced
against and ignorant of foreign Na

A special feature in this year's Ger

At the command "seek," accompanied
by a gesture indicating the direction

Stylish Waist of White and Violet
Striped Organdie-Jewels Set
In Gloves Is the Latest '
Parisian Fad.
VIOLET and white striped or
gandie is chosen for this stylish
waist, valenoiennes insertion
and lace edging trimming it
very daintily. The stock collar and
crush belt is made of violet satin rib
bon. A glove fitted lining closed in
centre front is tho foundation over
which this dressy waist ia arranged.
LADIE3' WAIST.
The fall fronte and back have tucks
taken up and shirred on each shoulder
giving a pretty and new effect. Gath
ers adjust the fullness at the neck and
the closing in front is invisible, the
gathers at the waist line being drawn
well to the centre of front and back.
Full puffs gathered in tuck sherrings
at the lower edge are arranged over
fitted linings of three-quarter length,
a deep lace trimmed frill falling to the
wrists. Epaulettes or sleeve caps are
made of the material mitered to form
three graceful points that fall over the
puff, insertion and lace decorating the
edges daintily'. The model is especi
ally adapted to sheer materials that
are now so handsomely constructed
over silk and other colored linings.

BRIDAL WARDROBES.
Shower bouquets of TOSOB, sweet
pea?, orchids and carnations are in
vogue, and lately a Southern belle
started the fashion for jasmine flow
ers.
One of tbe most important events in
a woman's life is decidedly her wed
ding day, and as most women mean to
marry but once, that one wedding
dress tnu-t make a bright spot in the
memory of a lifetime.
A very handsome reticule to be used
with a bridal traveling gown is made
of violet tinted leather, decorated in
a framework of Japanese tortoise-shell
work and lined with a pale buttercup
silk. This is made after the heart de
sign and is carried on the arm.
Tho stunning wedding gown is al
ways white. This year it is whito
satin. It is made with a full skirt,
wreathed in Irish point lace, with a
nice long train. Tho bodice is usually
made with a fall of laco and wide
revers. The sleeves are model ately
large and trimmed in lace. The neck
is high and massed in lace, and the
veil is draped in Russian style from
a wreath of orange blossoms nt the
crown of the head.
A handsome going-away gown can
be fashioned of pearl taffeta silk and
pearl jeweled net. The tight-fitting
Louis XV. coat is very pretty for this
combination with the fullness arranged
in the stylish godet folds below the
waist line. The large revers made of
the silk can bo covered with the net
and turned back from a petal front
made of tho silk. Leg-o'-mutton
sleeves add grace to the costume, of
which tho skirt is made full and plain.
NEW BELTS AND COLLARS.
Some girls have as many as ten sets
of collars und belts for their gowns,
and as each sot requires two yards and
three-quarters of ribbon from four to
six inches wide, costing from thirty to
seventy-five cents a yard, it is an easy
matter to put $10 in these becoming
trifles as light as air, but stylish and
becoming withal.
Points or square tabs of lace, in
twos or fours, haug over the tops? of
collars ; then a plaited ruch of lace,
tulle, etc., finishes the inside edge of
many collars, end al1 of this is climaxad
with a folded baud of ribbon tied in
two loops and ends at tbe back, so a
fashionably dressed neck nowadays is,
indeed, wonderfully and fearfully
constructed. With a flowered dress
like organdie thc belt and collar rib
bons do not of necessity match. Atan
organdy figured with pink and green

green belt, A new belt beeomjng to
large and small figures is of six-inch
ribbon laid in fonr folds over a pointed
girdle of white crinoline lined and
well boned.
SffOKS IN SEASON'.
White canvas shoes are to be worn
only with white outing frocks. Even
then only the Cinderellas of society
should wear them?
White kid and satin slippers should
be wrapped 1n blue tiesue paper, not
in white. The acid which is used to
render paper white acts upon the
fabrics wrapped in it and yellows
them.
Slippers are intended for indoor
and piazza wear only. The only per
son who can be excused for walking in
them is a dove-stricken young woman
who wanders about beaches and gardens
in romantio meditation and inappro
priate attire.
Tan shoes are suited to all sorts of
outing and to ordinary business wear
in summer. They are not appropriate
for dress affairs, and the young woman
who dons russet-leather boots for cere
monious calls or semi ceremonious
drives writes herseli down as lacking
in a fine sense of the fitness of thing;.
1?ALTSSE LACV IN FAVOR.
A little impetus Vas just been given
to the wearing of Maltese lace by the
exquisite white parasol cover presen ted
by Maltese ladies to the Duchess of
York. It bids fair to rival imitation.
Yalenoiennes for tho tuckers and
ruffles we are all beginning to wear,
but it is naturally more expense.
Veiy good Maltese patterns are re
produced in white cotton by the lace
makers of Bedford and Buckingham
shire, and though lo;s expensive and
not so fine a? tbe genuine imported
article, it answers very well, and cnn
be washed like any other pillow lace.
The great thing to remember is that
starch is an abomination, and it must
not be rubbed, only well soaked and
"swished" in soapy water, dried under
a heavy weight asd pulled out svith
the fingers.
JEWELS 8ET IN' GL0YE3.
The latest fad in tba way of eccen
tric dress is the wearing of jewels up
on various articles of clothing. This
WITH SAILOR COLLAR.
extravagance originated in gay Paris,
where the jewelers are falling over one
another in their attempts to rind some
new use to which to put gems.
Thero are now on tho market as a
unique result of this attempt to find
or devise something new, gloves in the
backs of which are set precious stones,
diamonds, rubies, pearl] and emer
alds, and in fact any gem whose nat
ural color harmonizes or makes a
pleasing contrast to the color of the
glove. Diamonds seem to be tho fa
vorite gems used for this purpose.
The jewels are set in the back of the
glove along the seam and are held in
place by means of a small nut attach?
meqt. Thus far ouly a few of the
more advanced women of the ultra
fashionable set have taken to wearing
the diamond ornamented gloves, but
the fad is slowly but burely spreading,
aud no mau can tell to what extent it
may be carried.
The wearing of gems according to
jewelers has never been so widespread
aud extensive as at the present time.
While a year or two ugo it was con
sidered bad form to wear any but the
plainest jewels, the other extreme will
soon be reached, and jewels will be
worn in ways never before thought of.
Like every other fashion which

originates in Paris, the fad of wearing
diamond-baaked gloves has crossed the
English Channel, and a few of the
more daring Engltsh leaders of fashion
have promptly had jewels set in the
backs of their glove1. Following the
invariable order of such things, tho
fad will reach this country during tho
present season.
RIBBON SASH.
The deep sash of ribbon is much
worn by fashionable women. It is
slightly pointed in front, and is fully
a quarter of a yard high. It ia, in
fact, one of the recent borrowings
from the Marie An*oinotte period.
Skilfully adjusted, it is pretty and be
coming; but put i>:? by one who
doesn!t know how, it is stir! aud ugly
to the last degree, lt shonl.1 have the
look of easily swathiug and suggesting
the linea of the figure.

A /AM OF MIXED FBUTTS.
Very good jam can be made by mix?
ing fruits, as raspberries and red car
rants, raspberries and gooseberries,
and so on. Either apples or goose
berries mix nicely with almost all ether
fruits. The best way to ase them is
to make them into jelly, and add a
proportion of this jelly to the other
fruit while boiling.-Pittsburg Dis

SOMETHING ABOUT CANDLES.
So essential is the candle considered
for decorative purposes that for occa
sions where its light would not be suf
ficiently strong, what are called "can
dlestick lamps" are used. That is, the
tall, slender, candlestick is perfectly
copied and so low is the tiny shade
suspende J over the burner that none
but the most observant would notice
that it was a small lamp that burned
inside, and not a wax candle. By the
way, it is always best to lay candles
on the ice for several hours before
they shall be needed. They will not
gutter so badly, will burn more slowly
and give a more GP*- , ory light
altogether.
VALUE OP A OB AX
The women of Holland and Belgium,
vrho make their linen so beautifully
white, ase refined borax instead of
washing soda in the proportion of ono
large handful of borax powder to
about ten gallons of boiling water.
Thus they save in soap nearly half.
Its effect is to soften the hardest water,
and, therefore, it should be kept on
every toilet table. It is good for
cleansing the hair, is an excellent den
tifrice; combined with tartaric acid
and bicarbonate of eoda it is a cooling
beverage. Qood tea cannot be made
with hard water, bat all water may be
made soft by adding a teaspoonful of
boiax powder to aa ordinary sized
kettle of water, in which it should boil.
Tho saving in the quantity of tea used
will be one-fifth.
cut Howers adds immensely to any
fable.
Fruit in pretty dishes also renders
it attractive.
Olives and salted almonds remain on
the table, as a general thing through
out the dinner.
Even if the tablecloth be not fine
damask it may come fresh from tho
laundry with the creases still in it.
The requirements at each place are
a large plate, a glacs of ice water, a
napkin, knives, forks and tablespoon.
The glass of ice water should be?ree
from that jingling ice whioh renders
drinking so difficult.
Ii the soap is served from the table
the plates should not bo piled up in
front of tho lady serving. They should
be brought one by one from the side
table by the maid.
A dry folded napkin upon the bread
plate heightens the softness of table
furnishing.
Radishes are very dainty and edi
ble, looking when peeled *to represent
water lilies.
Berries are dainty when served in
their own leaves, with the stem left
OD, that the guest may dip them in
sugar.,
