The Settlements on the Yellowstone,

If Sitting Bull and his warriors were
to return to the great Valley of the yell
lowstone, from which they were expel-
led only short year ago, says the New
York Herald, they would scarcely know
their old hunting grounds. Immigra-
ton has poured in from all sections
The wigwam of the Indian has given
place to the churches and schools and
stores and newspaper offices. At Tongue
River, where Gen. Miles was encamped
in 1867, there is town with popu-
lation of nearly 1000 inhabitants. The
battlefields of the heroic Custer are
farms, and cattle Craze on the plains
and hillsides where the saddest, bloodi-
est of our Indian tragedies were so re-
Gently enacted. This generation is
familiar with the rapid growth of towns
and cities in what we love to call the
Great West, but this settlement of the
Yellowstone in so short time is a
marvel. 1t was only yesterday, as it
were, that we printed the details of the
battle and massacre that plunged q
whole country into mourning, and to-
day our correspondent tells us of the
opening of banks, the erection of thea
tiers, of courts and judges and police.
The Yellowstone Valley is forever lost
to the Indian. The blood of Custer and
his heroes was terrible price to pay
for it; but, after all, they died in noble
cause. Our Western country is the
great monument of the heroes of our
army, and their names will be forever
cherished as the martyrs of cur civiliza-
ton. sfu -

tips, it may be added, extend little
below the knee). The orang, when on
all tours, rests its hands on the backs of
the fingers between the large knuckles
and first joint; the chimpanzee, between
the first and second joints. The CHM
panzee uses its hind members more as
legs than as arms. For example, in
climbing a rope it will go up hand over
hand and foot over foot regularly grasp
ing it's first hold with a hand. The
orang, on the contrary, uses all four
members indifferently for like purposes.
1t may grasp at first with foot and
pull itself up, selling hold with hand
afterwards, its entire motion showing it
to be more at home moving among tree
branches than under any other circum-
stances. The anatomy of its rear mem
bers, different from that of those of the
chimpanzee, shows clearly the distinc-
ton. The orang's hind limbs, besides
being comparatively short, are loosely
jointed at the hip-bones, and the strong
Iigament (the hganentunl teresl, which
in man, the gorilla, and the chimpanzee
binds the thigh-bone to the hip-joint, is
absent. The result is that their tread IS
very unsteady, and the legs can be bent
or twisted rearward in curiously COM
picated contortions. The orang at the
Aquarium is quiet and harmless. 1t
moves about but little, preferring to
keep rolled up in its blankets, which it
adjusts with ludicrous care and gravity
The general appearance of the animal
conveys the impression that it is lost in
deep meditation, and as this look is
maintained while it carefully piles its
food-pans together and sits in them, its
proceedings are laughably absurd.
1t is hardly safe to accept the conclu-
sion that the chimpanzee is of higher
degree than the orang-outang, or the
reverse, in the absence of more positive
knowledge. Each species has strongly
marked characteristics which indicate a
higher development as compared with
the other, notably the small delicate
ears of the orang in contrast with the
large ones of the chimpanzee, and the
legs of the latter in comparison with the
rear arms of the former. Carl Vogt has
suggested that the gorilla is a developed
baboon, the chimpanzee a developed
macaque, and the orang- outang a de-
veloped gibbon. Similarly continuing
the chain of evolution, the idea has been
preached that different races of men had
varied Simian ancestries, the Malay, for
example, being derived from the orang.
outang, and the negro, from the chin
panzee tribe, the ground being the SIM
ilarity of prominentskull characteristics.

Advice to Students.

Sit up to the table when you read ;
easy chairs abolish memory. Do not
read the same book too long at one sit
ting. If you are really weary of one
subject change it for another. Read
steadily for three hours day for five
days in the week the use of wet towels
and strong coffee betrays ignorance of
how to read. Test the accuracy of your
work as soon as you have finished it..
Put you facts in order as soon as you
have learnt them. Never read after
midnight. Do not go to bed straight
from your books. Never let your read
ing interfere with exercise or digestion.
Keep a clear head, good appetite and
d cheerful heart. -lMedieal Examiner.

Scarlet Fever by Mail.

A medical correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph, a few weeks ago, gave
the following account of such case !:
"a lady, residing in the country, wrote
to inform friend in this neighborhood
Cast Sheen) that she was occupied in
nursing her daughter, suffering from
scarlatina. The friend, after reading
and burning the letter, gave the envel-
ope in which it was contained to one of
her children to play with. Ten days
later was requested to see the same
child, when the diffused red rash over
the skin, elevated temperature and ul-
cerated tonsils clearly pointed to the
nature of the malady with which l was
called upon to deal. From inquiries
that | have since made, I am satisfied
that unless the disease originated de
moro it could be traced to no other
source of infection than the unfortunate
envelope previously mentioned. Pre-
ventive medicine is always better than
curative. / would therefore suggest
that all communications not absolutely
necessary, written from an infected
house, be interdicted, and then, when
received, both letters and envelopes be

The recent terrible explosion in the
Minneapolis mill is attributed by some
to product technically known as the
"red dogn among flour manufacturers.
The "red dog" is extracted in the pro-
cess OF publication, and much care is
taken in disposing of it by prudent
millers. The stuff appears to be as
deadly as dynamite. The subject will
be likely to receive much more atten-
ton now from parties interested than
has been given it heretofore.

Dipllthcria and Its Cure.

through your journal, in regard to the
terrible disease, liphtheria, which is
raging with great destruction Of lives
throughout tho country. 1t has ragged
hero to a fearful extent, quite large
number Of cuses proving fatal.
There is q family here by tho name
Of Light, miller who moved here
from Rochester this season. Mrs.
Light said to somO Of tho neighbors
that previous to moving hero she had
an uttack Of diphthOria, and cured
herself by the use Of kerosene oil as a
gargIo, also swallowing some; but the
remedy was so simple that our citizens
didn't think anything Of it until fvc
Of Joseph JeIlcy's children were taken
down with tho diphtheria. Their
throats became swollen and cankcrol
terribly. Mrs Jelly sent after her
aeighbor. Mrs. NilIistIe, who had
lately lost sou by the disense. to
ascertain WhclErr it was really dipthG.

Mrs. Lights remcdY-keFosenc oil
which she gave her children US a garslo
aud also had them swallow some. The
children recovered rapidly, aud in 4
few days we're ou. on tho street.
Another neghtor by tho usmo Of

What is most astonishing is that
