Seminoles in both branches of the Legislature
but they have invariably declined to avail
themselves of these privileges. In 1871, the
Methodists tried to introduce civilized ways
among them, but without success. The tribes
preferred their own ways, and desired to be
let alone. They live apart from the whites.
and strenuously oppose removal to the Indian
Territory. 1t is to be hoped that their mod.
crate requests will be regarded.
Lieutenant Pratt recommends that the old
fort barracks, at Tampa Bay, be made into a
school building and an educated Seminole
from the Indian Territory, be sent there as a
teacher. There is certainly room enough in
Florida, at present, for both whites and In.
dians, and the expatriation of the latter can
not be necessary. The United States Gov
ernment has sinned enough against the In.
dians, and it is not surprising that the latter
are distrustful of "Washington talk"

PRESSURE ON THE BRAIN.

An American medical man was called one
day to see a youth, aged eighteen, who had
been struck insensible by the kick Of horse.
There was depressed fracture of the skull q
little above the left temple. The skull was
trephined, and the loose fragments of bone
that pressed upon the brain were removed,
whereupon the patient came to his senses.
The doctor thought it good opportunity to
make an experiment, as there was hole in
the skull through which he could easily make
pressure upon the brain. He asked the boy
a question: and before there was time to an.
swer it, he pressed firmly with his finger upon
the exposed brain. AS long as the pressure
was kept up the boy was mute, but the instant
it was removed he made reply, never sus-
pecting that he had not answered at once.
The experiment was repeated several times
with precisely the same result, the boys
thoughts being stopped and started again on
each occasion as easily and certainly as the en-
gineer stops and starts his locomotive.
On another occasion the same doctor was
called to see groom who had been kicked on
the head by mare called Dolly, anaWhom he
found quite insensible. There was fracture
of the skull, with depression Of bone at the
upper part of the forehead. As soon as the
portion of bone which was pressing upon
the brain was removed, the patient called
out with great energy, whoa, Dolly!" and
then stared about him in blank amazement,
asking, "Where is the mare? Where am / ?"
Three hours had passed since the accident,
during which the words he was just going to
utter whenA happened, had remained locked
up, as they might have been locked up in the
phonograph, to be let 60 the moment the
obstructing pressure was removed. The pa

ANCIENT MODE OF L1vINa.-The ancient
mode of living may be somewhat understood
By reference to an old book, precious in the
sight of the antiquarians- the household book
of an Earl of Northumberland, 1t appears
that the old earl had large family. It con-
sisted of six hundred and sixty.six persons
masters and servants. Fifty was the average
number of his daily guests There was a
very precise sumptuary code, and given out
in parcels and by rule. From midsummer to
Michaelmas, fresh meat was allowed /; for the
rest of the year salted provision were alone
admissible. Mustard was in great demand.
One hundred and sixty gallons year were
used at the table; no doubt the character Of
the fresh and salted meat required potent
stimulus to make it 60 down. One bottle
and third of beer was given to each person
daily. No sheets for the beds were used. The
table-cloths were few; they we're changed bat
once month, and washing days were rare.
Ninety.one dozen candles served the family
for year, The family rose at six in the
morning, dined at ten, and supped at four.
The earl and his lady had, at their breakfast.
something better than the rest-a quart OF
beer, quart of wine, two pieces of salt fish,
six red herrings, and dish of sprats.

INDIAN HORSE RACES.

From private letter written by Mr.. s. B.
Brumont, dated Southern Ute Agency, Pine
River Postofice, LaPlata county, COL, we
publish the following description Of an Indi-
an horse race:
Learning from Charlie and Iagler, chiefs
of the Menache and Capote bands of the Ute
Indians, that they were going to run their
horses against the Wiemanunches of the same
tribe, accepted their invitation and rode
out to their track one pleasant afternoon
about three weeks ago, and became the spec.
tator to one OF the fairest and best conducted
horse-races ever witnessed. No grand stand,
no Judges stand, no fence to keep intruders
from the course, no police force to drive en-.
enthusiastic hackers from the quarter stretch,
and yet everything was conducted, with the
order and decorum Of Quaker meeting.
The track is straight stretch of perhaps
mile in length. On opposite sides at the come
out, the head men of the opposing bands seat
themselves on the ground in circle, pass
from hand to hand the pipe, from which each,
in succession, pufs blue wreath of amoke
And while this is going on, horse is ridden
from one side by a nearly naked Indian boy
and slowly guided down the track. AS he
leaves the stand, one of his hackers rises
from the group in council and brings forward,
close to the track, such articles as he desires
to wager on his blankets, skins, furs,
fancy clothing and ornaments, guns, saddles
and silver dollars-throwing all together on
the ground in plain view Of the other side,
who at once advance like number Of arti.
cles in a pile on their side of the track. An.
other bare legged Indian boy is mouted and
started down the track. The riders turn at
point designated by the owners at head of the
track, and, without any one to give the word,
the start is made, and if both are satisfied, the
race is run otherwise both 60 back, and when
both are satisfied the first out is the winner
No claim of foul; no words Of dispute; the man
on the winning side walks across the track,
gathers the stakes and returns unquestioned
Four times the Weimanuche man walked to
the side of Menaches and Capotes and bore
off the most valued prizes, while no word OF
complaint arose from the losers, and but few
signs of exultation were exhibited by the win
ners. The Meaches and Capotes are now
looking for horse with which to win back
their goods andehattels.

sNUBBED BY. GEN. SHERMAN.

North Carolina is attempting what has
hitherto proved an abortive effort at IRE
union and fraternization Old soldiers Of the
North and South are invited to Salisbury on
October %. We are told that the ex-Con-
federates are going in force, but there is not
much Show Of Federal Generals, other than
politicians. Gen. Sheridan declines the invi-
tation with thanks and good wishes, besides
many regrets that official duties and previous
engagements will prevent him from attend.
ing Gen. VIM. T. Sherman, however, whose
letter is printed in full in the Charlotte Oh.
server, bluntly refuses to be present and says
"There is no use in my mincing terms.
Whenever and wherever the honest men OF
North Carolina meet to allay the sectional
and party animosities and to cultivate feel
ings of fraternity and respect for their fel.
low.citizens of the United States, it will be to
me most tempting to come to Salisbury, : =
but must not be construed as asserting to
the proposition that Confederates and Union
men were alike worthy of celebration for
the terrible history Of 1S6l'65." The Cen
eral adds that he would like to 60 on some
civic occasion when all are absolutely equal,
all alike interested in the present and future
glory of the common country. he would GER
tainly be out of place at Confederate
reunion. He says: ~
All soldiers in their social reunions glorify
their deeds of heroism, and this reunion will
hardly be an exception, and it would be q
strange sight for Gen. Sherman to cheer the
victories Of his enemies and respond to the
claim that because the soldiers of North
Carolina were brave and true to their State
and section, their cause was as sacred as ours,
which finally triumphed, and made our
Union more glorious and more resplendent
than before. Were I present and you should
suppress this natural feeling, would feel my
self an intruder, marring the natural happi-
ness of festive occasion. I know that the
soldier elements were the first to lays aside the
angry partisan feelings Of the war, and are
now leaders in the new epoch which is sure to
add wealth and prosperity to our whole coun.
try, and when some occasion arises when we
may all meet on common ground in North
Carolina, to celebrate some revolutionary
event, or to encourage some modern enter
prise, it will give me great pleasure to come
to Salisbury, to Raleigh, to Guilford Court
House. or any other place in the "Old North
State" H

MAKING THrMBLEs.-The process of ma
king thimbles is described as follows: Bright
new silver coins are reduced to ingots by melt
ing in crucibles. They are then rolled into
the required thickness and cut by stamp In
to circular pieces of the required size: These
circular disks are placed under solid metal
bar of the size of the inside of the intended
thimble, which, moved by powerful machine
ry, descends into bottomless mold of the
size of the outside Of the thimble, and presses
the metal into the desired shape at single
blow. The remaining operations Of bright
ening, polishing and decorating are perform
ed by means Of lathe. First, the blank
form is fitted with rapidly revolving rod;
slight touch of sharp chisel takes a thin
shaving from the end another does the same
on the side, while third rounds off the rim.
The polishing is done by round steel rod,
which is dipped in oil and pressed upon the
surface. Small revolving steel wheels held
against the revolving blank pierce the inden-
tations on the lower half and end of the thin.
BILE; the ornamentation is done by similar
process. All that remains to be done to the
thimbles is to brighten and polish the inside,
boil them in soapsuds to remove the oil, brush
them up and pack them for the market.

STEEL PENs.-The early history Of the
steel pen is curiously obscure The most dill
igent search fails to discover the first maker
or the earliest date of this implement There
were steel, or rather iron, pens made, we be-
leve, in Holland, as early as the middle Of
the seventeenth century. Harrison, an inge-
nious Birmingham mechanic, made steel pens
for Dr.. Priestly. One of them is nothing
more than tube turned out Of a fiat strip Of
metal, with the sides and points filed away in
the shape of pen. The first actual supply
Of such pens, it is believed (he authority for
the statement is no more than local tradition,
was made by Sheffield workman whose
name is forgotten. From time to time, as far
back as 1909, steel pens, hand-fashioned,
turned and fled, were made as curiosities, or
luxuries for presents but it was not until
about 1924 that such instruments were pro-
duced in considerable quantities, as regular
articles of manufacture. Mr.. James Perry
was the first manufacturer, but the process
was tedious and costly. The metal was steel
rolled out of wire, and for this Mr.. Perry paid
as much as seven shillings q pound. To the
first person he employed he gave FIVE shil.
lings for making. each pen; and even when
the trade had become regular, he gave, for
some years, as much as thirty.six shillings
gross to his workmen.

both services last Sunday night suddenly
said to her, "Do you talk in your sleep !"
aWhy-no," she answered, in surprise. "Do
you walk in your sleep ?" he next inquired.
."No, 81" He moved his chair an inch closer,
and, with increased interest, asked, aDo you
snore ?" "No," she hastily replied, looking
uneasily at him. At this reply his eyes fair
ly sparkled. His lips eagerly parted, and,
as he gave his chair another hitch, he brisk.
ly inquire, "Do you throw the combings OF
your hair in the basin ~ "What?" she asked,
with blank face. He repeated the question,
although with increased nervousness. No, /
don't" she answered in some haste. Again
his chair went forward, while his agitation
grew SO great that he could scarcely maintain
bis place upon 1t as he asked, "Do you clean
the comb when you have done :" "Of course
Ido," she said, staring at him with all her
might. In an instant he was on his knees
before her, with his hands ontstretched. q
love you," he passionately cried. Il give
my whole heart to you. Love me and Twill
be your slave. Love me as / love you, and I
will do every thing on earth for you. Q, will

your protector, your every thingp It was
critical moment for young woman OF her
years, but she was equal to the emergency, as
woman generally is, and accepted him.
