DR.. Forfeit remarks that most
practitioners must have experienced
the difficulty in mapping out organs
accurately by percussion in cases ac-
companled by pain, or where the neces-
sary examination might imperil the
patient. The idea occurred to him of
substituting for the regular method of
percussion the auscultation of musical
vibration, and for this purpose he en-
ploys first an ordinary differential
stethescope, with one oblong chest
piece to fit into the intercostal spaces.
the whole made sufficiently stiff to be
held IN situ by the mere pressure of the
head; and secondly, piece of flexible
steel bent as bow, and held tense by
catgut. The mode of working is as
follows: Place the stethoscope over
the organ to be examined-say the liv-
er; then take the bow in the left hand,
and placing it with either of its ex-
tremlties firmly upon the skin over or
against the organ, begin to twang the
catgut with the right hand, moving
the instrument toward the organ under
examination. The rationale is that
solids give clear, musical note, and
cavities and organs containing air give
a dull note. The instrument can be
applied in the detection of indurations,
assesses and cavities, and it enables
various organs, as the kidney, spleen,
liver and heart, with its cavities, to be
accurately marked out.

JudicfOus Letting Alone.

TRY little judicious letting alone.
The danger is often in your own nerv-
Gus fancies; the little quarrel will
blow over like a summer cloud; the
chickens will be chased but not killed:
puss and dog can take care of them
selves; the swing won't break the
sooner for not being watched; the tide
won't come in with sudden rush be-
cause you are not there to scream
warnings every ten minutes; a little
from the tree or rock will teach your
boys caution more surely than forty
lectures. Leave them alone one day,
and see, to your surprise, perhaps. that
they are actually alive and emily health
fully tired at night. Save your "nOes''
for essential things, and say eyes
promptly and cheerfully to the things
that seem so little to you, but are actu-
ally big for children. Keep at least
one eye and one ear shut, and great
will be your relief.
Glow did you train your boys ?"
asked a friend of Mrs. McCook, the
mother of the seven brothers who won
the name of 'the fighting McCooks''
as Generals in the army. They were
all stalwart, brave, resolute, self
reliant, cool-headed men-soldiers
without fear and without reproach."
"Well, l didn't govern them too
much said the wise mother. AS
soon as they were old enough to get
around alone out of doors, she dis
creetly heightened their lines. When
they went to play, or later on, fishing
or hunting, she taught them self
reliance by teaching them to rely upon
themselves. "Don't" was a word sell
dom used, and then it meant but one
thing-do not! as "whoa' should
mean but one thing to horse-stop,
The mothers authority and care were
not frittered away on trivial and
transient things.

Indian Exhibits at the Centen.
NAL.

THE sewing, knitting and embroid-
cry done by Indian girls in these va
rious agencies is exhibited here in large
quantities. The cloth woven by In
dian women at Yankton Agency,
in Dakota Territory, is very
good in pattern and solidly made.
This agency is under the charge of the
Indian Commission of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. The specimens of
drawing by both male and female In
dian pupils are encouraging, but have
much room for improvement Many
of them appear to have been con-
structed on the principle adopted by
the renowned Mr.. Sitting Bull in
Inning the pictorial record of his
questionable exploits. Horses and
cows are drawn regardless of the laws
of proportion, and trees, men and
high cliffs are all much of size. But
there are some good beginnings among
these crudities, and great many of
which white children, with even more
chances than these Indians have had,
need not be ashamed. The attempts
at nature are rather funny the Indian,
judging from his work here, seems to
take more kindly to copying horses,
dogs and wild beasts than trees and
thickets.
A fair transcript of the Decalogue
In verse is the work of Edward Rou-
bad, an Iowa Indian boy of twelve:

A Miser Starves to Death.

A RECENT Baltimore dispatch says:
DR.. Thos. J. Monahan, rich and &C.
centric miser. died this evening from
starvation. He was brought to the
surface a year ago here as the cham
pion beat. He dressed in rags and
boarded at various places, pleading
poverty until kicked out. While at
the Church Home, pauper patient,
his filthy rags were removed to be
washed, and when returned he de-
clared he had been robbed. An inves-
tigation revealed that 81, 900 had been
stolen. This was recovered, and with
other money given him, in all ST. 100
in bank notes. Creditors presented
claims for board, which a court al
lowed, aggregating 81, 100. 1t was al
so found that he owned two valuable
farms in Montgomery County, worth
several thousand dollars, advertised
for sale for unpaid taxes. He had a
room for several weeks past at small
hotel, but refused to pay for food, and
when taken sick, several days ago, re-
fused to call physician, saying he
was too poor to pay him. Only when
in his death-struggle would he consent
to call for a DOCTOR After death his
ragged clothing was searched, and ST.
600 found in bank bills. His sister in
Philadelphia was notified. His estate
is probably worth $4,000 or more.

and IL was done this last summer, -!

and it was done this last summer. A
handsome photograph represents Rev.
Mr.. Cook, missionary at Yankton
Agency, Dakota, surrounded by four
Indian boys, once his pupils, one of
whom has Just taken the gold medal
assigned as the prize for first rank in
department and studies at Andalusia
Hall. Andalusia. Pa. Near by is n
large picture in which we are intro
duced TO the peculiar physiognomies
of our friends the chiefs of the Sioux
tribe-those who visited the "Great
Father Washington in 1876. They
are nearly smothered in feathers and
war paint. Their names are Black
Bear. Little Wound, Spotted Tail
(chief of the Upper Brules), Lone
Horn. Mandau, Red Cloud. and
Rafting Ribs" This last euphoni
ously-named party is literally covered
with white feathers. whose points
have been tipped with black. The
faces of these Sioux do not inspire one
so favorahly as those of the other In
dams. although they are not lacking
in intelligence.
In another picture an Iowa Indian
woman is shown seated at sewing
machine, which she bought and oper-
ates herself. Eliza Fasson is her
name. Consolation, too. for those who
lament that more Indians are not con-
verted is found in a photograph show
ing the Rev. Samuel d. Human, mis-
siOnary at Santee Agency, Neb., and
with him three Indian clergymen
trained by him for the ministry. All
are in their robes, and look dignified
and fully conscious of the high nature
of their mission. The exhibition of
the work done in the Normal Training
School at the Dakota Mission of the
American Board is highly gratifying.
So much is known about the Indian
Territory proper that l need hardly
mention the evidences of civilization
sent from there. The most important
are the Cherokee papers, printed at
Tahlequah both before the war and at
present, and the specimens of hand
writing by Indian children-some of
them showing great facility in acquir-
ing penmanship. Many of these are
from the tribes around Fort Sill. -

Fattening Fowls.

FATTENING fowls for market can
be done economically or it can be made
expensive. As the profits depend to a
great extent upon the expense of the
process, it is well to give the subject
some thought. The following, from
the Journal of Chemistry, contains
some excellent suggestions. The as
sertion that fowls do not want any
room, but are better as close together
as possible, is Says the Ohio Farmer
a little too strong, perhaps. We do
not believe that comfort is at all OPP
posed to the fattening process, but
rather favorable:
1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are at liberty.
They must be put up in proper coop,
and this, like most other appurtenances,
need not be expensive. To fatten
twelve fowls, coop may be three feet
long, eighteen inches high and eighteen
inches deep, made entirely of bars. No
part solid-neither top, sides nor bot
tom. Discretion must be used accord
ing to the size of the chickens put up.
They do not want any room; indeed,
the closer they are the better, provided
they can all stand up at the same

such rs have been accustomed to be to-
gether, or they will fight. If one IS
quarrelsome, it Is better to remove 1t
at once. as, like other bad examples, 1t
soon finds imitators. Diseased chickens
should never be put up.
The food should be ground oats, and
may either be put up in trough or ON
a Hat board running along the front OF
the coop. II may be mixed with water
and milk, the latter is better. 1t
should be well soaked, forming pulp
as loose as can be, provided it does
not run off the board. They must be
well fed three or four times day, the
first time as soon after daybreak as
may be possible or convenient, ana
then at intervals of four hours. Each
meal should be as much as they can
eat up clean, and no more; when they
have done feeding, the board should be
wiped and some gravel spread. 1t
causes llltll W lieu oilu WILL
After fortnight of this treatment
you will have good, fat fowls. 1t,
however, there are but five or six to be
fatted, they must not have as much
room as though there were dozen.
Nothing is easier than to allow them
the proper space, as it is only neces-
sary to have two or three pieces OF
wood to pass between the bars and
form a partition. This may also serve
when fowls are up at different degrees
of fairness. This requires attention,
or fowls will not keep fat and healthy.
As soon as the fowl is sufficiently
fatted it must be killed; otherwise it
will not get fatter, but will lose flesh.
If fowls are intended for the market,
of course they are, or may be, fatted
at once; but if for home consumption,
it is better to put them up at such III
tervals as will suit the time when they
will be required for the table.
When the time arrives for killing,
whether they are meant for market or
otherwise, they should be tasted with
out food or water for twelve or fifteen
hours. This enables them to keep for
some time after being killed, even in
hot weather.

New Facts About Butter.

THE London agricultural Gazette
publishes the following lately-ascer-
tanned chemical facts, condensed by
that paper from tie report made to the
Board of Inland Revenue by the prin-
cipal of the chemical laboratory, Som
erset House, on experiments conducted
by him for the analysis of butter:
One hundred and seventeen samples
were tested, the result being that
while few samples were found to be
very poor in quality, and few others
exceptionally rich. the great bulk eX-
amined were found to possess cOnSid-
cradle uniformity Of composition, the
principal variations being apparently
due to the difference in the method Of
manufacture, the different seasons of
the year when made, and the various
modes of feeding. As might be eX
peeted, some of the poorest buffers
were produced by, and obtained from,
small farmers in Ireland, at a time
when there was very little grass, and
food was scarce. 1t was also noticed
that the butter was relatively poorer
in its essential constituents when the
food was chiefly cotton and Oil-cake,
than was the case when roots and grass
formed the staple food. A noticeable
feature in the results recorded is the
great variation in the quantity of
water in the different buffers, the
lowest being AS per cent. and the
highest 2O.75 per cent. The Devon
and Dorset buffers, which usually
stand so high in the market, were
found to contain in nearly all cases
hi"h percentage of water, and one
which was procured from the dairy of
private gentleman, contained as
much as 16.99 per cent, and second
sample, recently obtained from the
same source, contained 1910 per cent.
Another point of interest was in some
measure elucidated, and which has
reference to the deterioration which
certain buffers undergo when kept in
small quantities in glass or earthen-
ware vessels. 1t was found that
whilst some of the finest and best pre-
pared buffers undergo little or no
change, there is in others a gradual
disappearance of the Characteristic
principles of butter, anda consequent
assimilation to the constitution of an
ordinary animal fat. This change,
which appears to be due to an incipient
fermentation, and is generally accom-
panied by the development of fungi is
probably caused either by the use of
sour cream or insufficient care in max
ing butter.
