But yesterday it was. Long years ago
1t seems The world so altered looks, to-day,
That, jourheying idly with my thoughts astray,
/ gazed where rose one lofty peak of snow
Above grand tiers on tiers of peaks below.
One moment brief it shone, then sank away,
As swift we reached point where foothills Law
So near they seemed like mountains huge to grew
And touch the sky. That instant, idly still,
My eye fell on printed line, and read
IncredulOus, with sudden anguished thrill,
The name of this great queen among the dead.
l raised my eyes. The dusty foothills near
Had gone. Again the snowy peak shone clear.
Oil thou beloved woman, soul and heart
And lite, thou standest unapproached and grand,
And still that glorious snowy peak doth stand.
The dusty barrier our clumsy art
In terror hath called Death holds thee apart
From us. IT'S but the low foot-hill of sand q 81
Which bars our vision In a mountain-land.
One moment further on, and we shall start
With speeches. Joy to find that we have passed
The dusky mound which shuts us from the light
OF thy great love, still quick and warm and fast,
OF thy great strengths. heroically cast,
Of thy great soul, still glowing pure and white.
OF thy great life still pauseless, full and BRIGHT

The Sweating Treatment.

While coming down the Rosebud
through the deserted Sioux villages I
noticed the remains of great many
sweat or medicine tepees or lodges, which
shows that the Sioux must have had
great many wounded in the Rosebud and
Little Horn battles. Their treatment for
sickness Or wounds consists almost en-
tirely in the sweating process, very much
like our modern Turkish bath.
The sweating treatment is performed
by placing the patient, no matter what the
disease may be, under a small wicker
work frame covered almost air. tight with
skins. Hot stones taken from fire near
at hand are then passed in to the patient,
who places them In small hole in the
ground in the center of the sweat-house,
or tepee. A pail of water is then passed
in and poured ON the almost red hot
stones. From this an almost suffocating
hot steam arises, which soon produces a
profuse perspiration. The patient is
then taken out and plunged in the cold
running stream near at hand, or in win
ter rolled in snow bank, the patient all
the time being in a nude condition. This
treatment is Of course, as rule, fatal IN
small .pox or fevers. It may be termed
heroic. -Letter to the Detroit Free
Press.

British FoOd.suDDIieS.

Indian corn,l or maize, has now &C
CURED a permanent footing In this
country as an article of food. Most of
what we get is sent from the United
States, the total import for 1876 being
$500, 900 cwt., or three times greater
than the import ten years ago. The
quantity OF cheese imported has nearly
doubled during the last eight years, the
home supply being wholly inadequate to
meet the ordinary requirements for our
consumption. Eggs we're sent to us
last year, chiefly from France, to the
number of TAI, 900, 600 that is, 9 per
cent. greater than the quantity sent IN
1874. Five years back the number was
but 400, 100000, and this rapid increase
still continues, although poultry farming
is now being more carefully attended to
among us than it nsed to be. The price
of eggs, however, has fallen from IS I'd
per long hundred to IS Sd. More pota-
toes arrived here in 1876 than in the
previous year by 10000 cwt. Most OF
these potatoes are set down as coming
from France, but considerable guam
tity come really via France from the
south OF Europe and Water
(Lo9ad07a).
