From time immemorial they had been accustomed to cultivate the lands along the river in spots wet by the natural overflow. These areas have now passed into the hands of the whites. All that is left the Indians is desert land that, without water, is valueless. With water, however, it can be made to produce several corps a year. Under the amendment to the Indian bill, relief has finally come to the impoverished In dians. The secretary of the interior is now free to build the necessary canals under the terms of the reclaim ation law, and to allot to each Indian five acres of land with water.; He need not wait on any private corporation. As the Indian families average irom five to six persons, this would give them ample lands for their support, judging from the experience of the Mormons in Utah, where the average irrigated farm is less than 30 acres. The lands not utilized by the Indians are to be opened to white settlers who will EFFECT OF THE SOCIALIST TOTE. pay for them.

Keep Clean the toe Box. The very best of housekeepers need to be reminded once In a while that one of the most Important Items of hygienic living Is the care of the refrigerator. Knthfa else about the entire house should receive so much care and at tention and regard for Us positive wholesomeness. If the refrigerator Is left entirely In the hands of the serv ants you need not be surprised If the family Is attacked by sickness. The only safeguard against bad health Is personal supervision of this branch of housekeeping, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Cooks should be particularly cau tioned against putting away warm food in the Ice chest If this Is done the warm article will absorb the flavors and odors of the other food In the re frigerator. Apartments should be set apart for milk and butter, and these articles should always be kept In the compartments where they belong and never set near the other food. How ever, If separate compartments are not provided In the refrigerator for these articles of food, see that they are al ways kept closely covered. Milk readily absorbs the flavors of other foods, and butter, If left uncovered, soon becomes tainted. THE MARKETS. Doinas of the Dsy in Grain and Stocks. Liverpool, June 28. July wheat, 6s S 7-8d.
