How to be IIanllSO me.

Most people would like to be handsome.
Nobody denies the great power which any
person may have who has handsome face
and attracts you by good looks, even be-
fore word has been spoken. And we see
all sorts of devices in men and women to
improve their looks.
Now, all cannot have good features
they are as God made them-but almost
anyone can look well, especially with good
health. 1t is hard to give rules in very
short space, but in briet these will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the skin
wants is leave to act freely, and it takes
care Of itself. Its thousands of air-holes
must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough-not too
much. The stomach can no more work I'LL
the time. night and day. than a horse. 1t
must have regular work and rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.
Brush them with Il soft brush. especially at
night. Go to bed with cleansed teeth. OF
course. to have White teeth it is neetlfi,l to
let tobacco alone. AL women know that.
Washes for the teeth should be very sim
pie. Acid may whiten the teeth. but j,
takes Off the enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep in cool room. in pure air. No
one can have cleanly skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, in order to
look well, wake up mind and soul.
When the mind is awake. the dull, sleepy
look passes away from the eyes. l DO not
know that the brain expands. but it seems
so. Think, and read, not thrashy novels
but books and papers that have something
in them.
Men say they cannot afford books. and
sometimes do not even pay for a newspa-
per In that case it does them little good
they teei so mean while reading them. But
men can afford what they really choose. Ii
lll the money spent in self-indulgence. in
hurtful indulgence. was spent in books OIL
papers tor rselt-improyement, we should set
Il change. Men would grow handsome
and women too. The soul would shine
out through the eyes. We were no,
meant to be mere animals. Let us have
books and read them, and sermons and
heed them.

The IsittsburS Riot.

A Pittsburg grand jury has for several
weeks had under consideration the riots
which occurred in that city last July, with
the avowed intention of fixing the respOn-
sibility where it belonged. 1t has made its
report. and after deploring the fact that its
sources OF information were restricted by
the State officers refusing to appear and
testify. II attempts TO throw large
amount OF the blame on the Penn. X. Il.
Co.. on the State authorities, and on the
military. which was present without COM
petent authority, and who fired on the
mob without orders and speaking of tile
question OF liability. reject the coctrine
thar the city or county should pay for the
damage Inflicted by a mob which was eX-
cited TO violence by the unlawful act OF the
State military. This grand jury has re-
turned indictments against nearly one hun
dred persons, accused Of participation in
the riots, and the undivided disposition is
to see them speedily tried.

Sitting Bull hls taken up his permanent
residence on Deer river. in Canadian terri
tory. He is to be watched by the Govern
ment police. A few days ago he was told
by Col. Mcleod that he was TO hold HIM
self in readiness to move to his quarters.
and that the Queen had. through her ser
want at Ottowa. provided Il good home tor
him. here he could live in peace. Sitting
Bull made an eloquent reply. saying: Il
came to you in the first place because
was being har,l-driven by the Americans.
They broke their treaties with my people.
and when rose up and fought against
them. but for our rights. as the first peo-
pie on this part OF the earth. they pursued
me like Il dog. and would have hung me to
Il tree. They are not just. They drive It's
into war, and then punish us tor fighting.
That is not honest. The Queen would not
do that After thanking the Queen, he
said: Tell her will be Il good nrln, and
that my people will be good. will take
my people to the Red Deer country. and
now declare before you that | will not
mike any trouble or annoy you. or give
pain to the Qneen. will be quiet. VIII

to help you; then will fight. Place me
where YOU like. will be at peace in Can
ada: but YOU. who are brave soldiers. and
not treaty breakers. thieves AMI nur,lerers,
would think me IL coward if did not die
fighting the Americans. Therefore, while
90 to Red Deer now to live at peace
here the speaker almost shriekea-'l Will
come back when my braves are strong. or
if they will not come with me, will come
alone and fight the Americans until death.
You, love and respect; them hate. and
you Queens soldiers. would despisc me il

On leaving the Fort SittinG Bull wept.
The Blackfeet Indians say they won't stand
any nonsense from the Sioux. The Nez

How to Succeed.


If your seat is hard to sit upon, stand
up. If Il rock rises before you. roll it
away or climb over it. If you want mon
ey. earn it. 1t takes longer to skin an ele-
pIlant than Il mouse, but the skin is worth
something. If you want confidence. prove
yourself worthy of it. Do not be content
with doing what another has dOne-sur-
pass it. Deserve success and it will come.
The boy was not born a man. The sun
does not rise like Il rocket or go down like
bullet fired from gun; slowly and sure
" it makes its round and never tires. 1t is
as easy TO be a leader as wheel horse. II
the job be long the pay will be greater; If
the task be hard the more competent you
will be to hold it. Follow these instruc-
tions, and all will be well.

Men without Occupation.

The man who has nothing to do is the
most miserable of beings. No matter how
much wealth man possesses. he can be
neither contented nor happy without occu-
patton. We were born to labor, and the
world is our vineyard. We can find Il field
of usefulness almost anywhere. In occu-
patiOns we forget our cares, our worldly
trials. and our sorrows. 1t keeps us from
constantly worrying and brooding over
what is inevitable. If we have enough for
ourselves, we can labor for the good OF
others; and such task is one OF the most
delightful duties Il worthy and good man
can possibly engage in.

days later he died. his death, according to
the medical evidence, being undoubtedly
caused by the nicotine contained in the old
pipe. which he had sucked while blowing
