To Enjoy Walking.

To be- properly enjoyed, walking tour should be gone upon alone. If you go in company, or even in pairs, it is no longer a walking tour in anything but name; it is something else, and more in the nature of picnic. It should be gone upon alone, because freedom is of tn. essence; because you should be able to stop and go on, and follow this way or that, as the freak takes you; and be- cause you must have your own pace, and neither trot alongside champion walk CT, nor mince in time with girl. And then you must be open to all impress sions, and let your thoughts take color from what you see. You should be as a pipe for any to play upon. ''I cannot see the wit," says Hazlitt, "of walking and talking at the same time. When I am in the country wish to vegetate like the country" which is tue gist of all that can be said upon inc matter. There should be no cackle Of voices at your elbow to jar on the meditative silence of the morning,

A Physical Phenomenon.

A case has just come to light in Newark, N. J., which is in every sense of the word as singular in it's character as that of R. H, Newell, of Jersey City, who has not eaten substantial food for six weeks. The case. which is very curious though interesting one, is en- gazing the attention of the medical fra ternity of Newark, who seem to be very much puzzled over it. It appears that some weeks ago lady, the wife of a we'll known citizen, went to Rockaway beach in company with her family to ward trip the water was rough and the so, indeed, that the lady experienced some disagreeable sensations, but did not become seasick. She sought refuge from her feelings in the cabin, where the nausea gradually disappeared. Nevertheless, her whole system seemed to be disturbed during the sail, and the sea breeze did not have the usual in vigorating effect. For several days after an allusion to the boat or the hum ming of tune that was played during the pas sage caused 8 sensation of nausea, and she could not take any food. For four weeks her only nourishment has been a cracker and spoonful of coffee or tea once or twice day, and occasion ally peach or a piece of melon.
 The lady has tried every remedy to get her appetite back, but without avail. Not alone does she experience a want of appetite, but positive repugnance of food. Tonics, on being taken, are immediately rejected by the stomach. The digestive organs are fully distended and larger than in their normal condi- tion. This circumstance sometimes causes pain. Her system is very weak and her health poor. The case is causing much anxiety among the lady's friends. The mere mention of sailing, or the motion of ones arms as in rowing, and the whistling of the tunes played
 causes a recurrence of the same sensa
 tions as were felt on the boat. The case
 is looked upon as entirely new in patho
 logical science, and though speculation
 is extensive, it is impossible so far te
 arrive at any solution or remedy.

Ons by One the Roses Fall.

Another pleasant story has been rude ly swept away. The Franklin (Mass ) Journal does it. It says: The thrilling account of the escape of Mir. Hall, a butcher in this town, from death by suf- location in his ice chest, published in the Woonsocket Patriot, has been read with absorbing interest. An escape so miraculous, and all through supernatural intervention, coming through the dream of little boy, awakes new interest in those matters of an higher spiritual natule, and the agency of those intelli- gences who are no longer dwellers upon the earth. We have made diligent in- quiries into the matter, and have gathered the following additional facts connected with 1t |: The young lad, Adolphus Washington Hall, did not dream that his father was in the ice chest He had been promised whip ping that morning, and as his father did not return to the house to administer it, he became solicitous for his safety and started out to find him. M-. Hall, the butcher, was not in the ice chest, nor were his sufferings so protracted as slated. He has no ice chest nor any other chest. He is not butcher. He has no son-by his present wife. He doesn't reside in Franklin; and we don't know where he "hangs out."

The Triumph of the Sioux.

The Indian campaign is virtually ended, and the United States, as usual, have had the worst of it. Ever since the wars in the West begun the red men baff1ed our government, which they have learned to hate, despise and use. Their cunning has been an overmatch for our wisdom. The Indians strike blow and retreat they never risk de- feat, and as they defend their interior lines, W tn their supplies in easy reach, they have an advantage over our army, which moves from the outside of cir cle, and must carry it's provisions with trouble, having no near bases of supply. In this campaign we have seen the massacre of Custer and his command, the butchery of Reno's troops, the re- pulse of Crook, and our army has not won 8 single important victory. It has occupied territory, but it was empty. The Indians had left it, and there was no foe for soldiers to fight.
 Now the forces of the United States are about to go into winter quarters. Our information is conclusively to the point that the campaign Is over. Crook will return home after 8 scout which will find nothing, and Terry will retire. Some of the finest regiments in our army will remain idle in the frontier forts till spring. But the Indians will go unpunished and will be fed all win ter at the agencies. In the spring, it is said, military operations will be re- stunned but the savages are likely to be the first to begin. Probably there will be another massacre like that of Custer, in June, two months of intellectual marching in July aud August, and an- other retreat to winter quarters " in September.
 The army does not deserve the blame of this failure. It has always done it's best in Indian wars, but it has always been held back and neutraized by the blunders of the government. If the present policy is continued the expe- rience of this summer will only be re- peated in the next. There is but one way to settle the Indian question for ever, and that is to place the Indians under the charge of the War depart ment, to deal justly with them, to pro- tect them from agents and to punish them when they rise against the laws. Until this is done Custer will have perished in vain, and all the lives of his men will have been thrown away. As it Is, the Indians have won all the glory and the government bas earned nothing but disgrace. This is sad end to a campaign which had such heroic be- ginning. -NesU York Herald.

A Curiosity.

Oregon sends curiosity to the Phila- delphia Exhibition-a section of the trunk of white oak, from one side of which project several inches of the antlers of deer. The appearance and age of the wood indicate that fifty or sixty years ago young buck, prancing about in the forests of Oregon, became entangled in fork of the tree and perished, and ill the course of time the fork and trunk grew together, leaving only the antlers exposed on one side. The section of the tree is handsomely vanished and polished, and bears on a silver plate the inscription |: "Cut by George Curtis, on the banks of the Willamette, near Salem, Oregon, May ', 1S76."

Friday, America's Lucky Day.

There is popular superstition against Friday as an unlucky day, and yet 1t Is Q somewhat noteworthy fact that, for Americans at least, it has been peculi- arly fortunate. Here are some facts that the Chicago Times has been con- piling on the subject, and the perusal of them will sustain the assertion that Americans should be rather inclined to on Friday, the third of August, 1492, of Palos for the new world. It was on Friday, the twelfth of October, 1492, that he first saw tho land, after sixty five days of navigation.
 It was on Friday, the fourth day of January, 1493, that he started on his return to Spain to announce to their Catholic maiesties the glorious result of their expedition, and on Friday, the fifteenth of March, 1493, that he disem- parked in Andalusia. It was on Friday, the thirteenth of June, 1494, that he discovered the American continent. On Friday, March 5, 1497, Henry VII, of England, gave to John Cabot his dis patch for the voyage wh ch resulted in the discovery of the continent of North America.
 On Friday, September 6, 1865, Men deg founded St. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States. On Friday, Novembor 10, 1920, the Mayfower first disembarked few immigrants on American soil at Provincetown, and on Friday, December 22, 1920, her passen. gers finally landed at Plymouth Rock. 1t was on Friday, February 22, 1732, that George Washington was born.
 On Friday, June, 16, 1775, the battle of Bunker hill was fought, and or Friday, October 7, 1777, that the sur render of Saratoga took place, whicl event decided France to give her aid tc the Americans.
