The Sweating Treatment.

While coming down the Rosebud
through the deserted Sioux villages
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
byplacing the patient, no matter what the
disease may be, under small wicker
work frame covered almost fright with
skins. Hot stones taken from fire near
at hand are then passed in to the patient,
who places them in a small hole in the
ground in the center of the sweathouse,
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 nude condition. This
treatment is of course, as a rule, fatal in
small .pox or fevers. 1t may be termed
heroic.-Letter to the Detroit Free
Press.

British FOOd-Supplies.

Indian corn, or maize, has now ac-
quired 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 1875 being
20, 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 were sent to us
last year, chiefly from France, to the
number of TAI, 900, 600 that is, 8 per
cent. greater than the quantity sent IN
1874. Five years back the number vas
but 400, 900, 900, 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 8s I'd
per long hundred to ga 3D.. More pota-
toes arrived here in 1875 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

Centennial Visitors at the White House.

The number of Centennial visitors in
our city has of late greatly increased,
and the late arrivals are seemingly of a
more well-to.do class than the first COM
ers, and look as if they had seen more
of the world. They do not all carry the
Centennial insignia-duster, carpet--bag
and umbrella there is not 80 much
lunching on the pubic grounds and on
the steps of public buildings, and the
hackmen are doing much hvelier
busint IS.
The White House is always filed. 1t
was estimated by the attendant at the
door that at least 1900 " did " the Ex-
ecutive Mansion this morning before
noon. The interior is generally very
severely criticised, especially the worn
oilcloth, mating, and the bare floors.
There are only two or three attendants
on duty, and they are busy from morn
ing till night, showing what is to be
seen and preventing intrusion into the
private portion of the building. When
one of the forbidden doors is opened 1t
is grabbed. and before it can be closed
somebody has had peep.
They always want to see the library,
dining room and Presidents bedroom.
A large party wanted to visit the "kitch-
en- where the President cooks" Upon
being told that it was private a peaked
faced, shrill- voiced female exclaimed,
CT guess it belongs to the United States,
don't it9" They were informed by the
sable attendant that "the President
ought to be allowed some privileges,
even if he was the servant of the peo-
ple." "Ladies and gentlemen" cries
the doorkeeper, IF you will wait in
the east room q few moments the pri-
vate parlors will be opened" When
the east room is sufficiently filled, the
blue and green rooms are opened and
undergo a very thorough inspection.
All the public buildings are visited in a
like manner, and have to undergo a
thorough and critical examination by the
bone and sinew of the country and their
better halves. - Washington Star.

HE'LL GATE.
Mistaken Notions Regarding the Scope OF
That Work.

Mistaken Notions Regarding the scope OF
That Work.
Since the explosion at He'll Gate has
directed the attention of the whole coun-
try to the operations being carried on at
that point, writes New York correspond
ent, it becomes evident that there is very
great misapprehension regarding the
scope of that work. 1t is apparently be
lieved by many that it is intended to
make % new route to the sea" for steam
ships and the larger class OF vessels.
This is a mistake. The East river and
the Sound form a crooked and tortuous
highway to the ocean, which, under the
most fav .rable circumstances, would be
difficult of navigation for our great, nm
wieldy steamships, which are from 800
to 600 feet long, and draw from twenty
to thirty feet of water. Should the
rocks at He'll Gate eventually be all re-
moved, the channel would still present
obstacles which vessels of this character
would not like to encounter. They now
have free and easy navigation through
the Narrows and around Long Island
Sound, the distance being only twelve
miles farther than by the Sound route.
There is, however, an immense traffic
through the Sound, consisting of
steamers and sailing craft, the safety
of which is jeopardized by the
He'll Gate distractions. The immense
Boston steamers go that way, but are
obliged to so time their departure and
arrival as to pass He'll Gate i'll daylight.
Sailing vessels are obliged to avail them
selves of certain stages of the tide In
order to get through the narrow pass
safely. 1t is no uncommon sight TO see
the river for miles above He'll Gate filled
with sailing craft at anchor, waiting for
the turn of the tide which shall take
them through the tortuous channel safe
ly. 1t is to make this channel available
for the present commerce of the Sound
that the work is being done; to save
time, and prevent the recurrence OF dis
asters which have been so common on
those rocks. What has already been
done is but small art of what IS yet
to be accomplished. There are other
rocks to be removed, quite as formidable
as those which constituted Halletts
reef. 1t will take years of submarine
blasting to remove these, but, when it
is done, it will be O great work accom-
plished, and will amply repay its cost
in the additional safety to shipping which
it affords.
Owners of property in Harlem, AS
toria and the East river front generally,
have been giving countenance to the
idea that the steamship interest would
be transferred to the vicinity of He'll
Gate. There is little probability of this.
There are millions of dollars invested in
docks, piers, warehouses, ETC., for the
accommodation of ocean steamships, on
the other side of the city and there is
little danger of these being removed or
sacrificed when so little advantage is to
be gained.

the committee with influence distinct
from the Assembly, 8, in the minds Of
the Partisan Radicals. The Couserya-

respondent Of the Post Zealons, liberal

The correspondent says the reason why
such obstinate silence has been observed
in Parliament on the policy oil the gov
eminent on this question is, that debate
would make manifest these differences,
and which could not fail to prove very
prejudicial to the government. Lord
Derby and Sir Stafford Northcoeke,

According to the London Daily News
correspondent at Alexandria there is
some anxiety about the fate Of the Egyp-
tan army in Abyssinia. There can be
no doubt that the war is over, but per-
haps it will never be known at what ex-
penditure of men and money. About
5000 soldiers have arrived at Suez, and
three steamers are now MAY 22d) due
with troops. Some 5000 or 1000 are still
at Massowah, and these, making about
5000 who have returned, are said to be
all that may be expected. This leaves
about Is, 900 unaccounted fer. Several
thousand Of these were doubtless killed
in the first and second battles; the re-
mainder are unable to leave on account
of their wounds and the rainy season
having set in. The condition of these
poor men can be easily imagined. The
~ferceness and cruelty of the Abyssini
ans are said to have been fearful. The
battle Of November last is described By
an eye witness as a total humiliation o.
the Egyptian forces; and one regiment
leaving Suez 600 strong, vas represented
by eight men on their return. There
will be no more Abyssinian wars, and thu
army has been SO reduced that there viii
be considerable saving in the War Min
