PhOtOgraphing Indians.

An Indian intertribnl fair was held,
not long since, in the Indian Territory.
in order to show some of tine results of
civiliZing the savages. A number of
tribes attended, and displayed articles
of home manufacture, such as needle
work, embroidery, lacework and blank
cts. Many of the Indians had their
photographs taken, and showed a child
ish delight in looking at their faces.
Others, however, could not be persuaded
to 60 near the camera.
Yellow Bear, of the Arapahoes, was
the first to pass through the ordeal of a
sitting. He suffered himself to be prop
erly seated and the camera brought 10
bear upon him for the first time. Bat
when the prepared plate was placed in
the box and the cloth lifted he leaped to
his feet with bound and attempted TO
leave the tent.
All attempts to reason with him
failed. At last n photograph of Chey-
enne, taken some years ago, was shown
him. He looked at it a moment, then
went quietly back to his chair and sat
there like statue while his negative
was taken. He explained that no Chey-
enne warrior was greater brave than
he.
The gigantic Osages on the other
hand, would not approach the tent.
They said the camera robbed them of
their good spirits.
The Kickapoos gave the same reason,
and photographer, just returned from
their reservation, informed the writer
that he was peremptorily ordered out
of their country on that account.
The Indian is a profound believer in
the power os spirits for good or evil,
and takes care never to offend them.
The Modocs have a curious custom,
which affords pertinent illustration of
this fact. They are an exceedingly
cleanly tribe and battle frequently. But
before they enter in water, or even look
into it, they agitate the surface with
foot or hand, in order that the good
spirits may not see them and flee away.

A Strange Case

TRANSMISSION OF blood, albeit now
quite common medical operation, is al
ways an interesting experiment A
San Francisco surgeon has recently had
a singular experience in dealing with
colored patients. An aged negro was at
the point of death, and his life was
saved by this operation, about eight
ounces of blood being taken from his
wife's arm. Soon after the operation
the patient was enabled to take some
brandy and milk in the tiniest doses,
and he soon began to mend, and in three
weeks was quite well again. But the
sequel was the strangest part of the
whole affair. AS soon as the husband
had recovered sufficiently to walk about
the house the woman was taken sick,
and finally the same doctor was called
again. He visited the woman, who
said her appetite was bad; she could
not sleep, and her illness was troubling
her so that she could do nothing but
lounge about the house and neglect her
work. The doctor left her, first prescrib-
ing tonic and directing her to take of
nourishing food, and then dismissed the
case from his mind, suppOsing that she
had recovered under his prescription.
A few days ago he was again called TO
visit the woman, who received him in
grown thinner since his last visit, and
he also remarked the distressed express
sion of her face. She took him aside and
whispered to him that she could not
rest day or night, and that she had
found the reason why. tell you,
doctor, its that blood of mine the old
man is carrying about inside of him;
and, doctor, when that old man comes
back, want you to give me my blood
back" The doctor seeing that the
woman would not be appeased unless he
complied with her request, promised
TO return the next day, first informing
her of the dangers of the operation, and
that it was resorted to only in the most
urgent cases. She would hear ofno eX-
plantations, but demanded that the opera
tion be gone through with. 1t was ac-
cordingly done the next day, the doctor
taking from the man about half an
ounce of blood and transfusing il into
the woman's veins. After the operation
the woman frightened up perceptibly,
saying. "I'll be all right now, doctor"
And that the operation did prove a sue
cess was fully demonstrated by the sick
woman, who began to work few hours
afterward, declaring that the doctor
was a wonderful man, and now that
she'd got her own blood back again she
was al ri ilht."

Little Things.

We call him strong who stands unmoved--
Calm as some tempest beaten rock
When some great trouble hurls its shock;
We say OF him, his strength is proved
But when the spent storm folds it's wings
How bears he then LIES little things?
About his brow we twine our wreath
Who seeks the battles thickest smoke,
Braves flashing gun and saber-stroke,
And SCOTS at danger, laughs at DEATH
We praise him till the whole land rings
Butts he brave in little thingsl
We call him great who does some deed
That echo bears from shore TO shore,
Does that, and then does nothing more;
Yet would his work earn richer need,
When brought before the king of kings,
We're he but great in little thingsY
We closely guard our castle gates
When great temptations loudly knock,
Draw every bolt, clinch every lock,
And sternly fold our bars and gates;
Yet some small door wide open swings
At the sly touch OF little things.
i can iorgive-'tis worth my while
The treacherous blow, the cruel thrust;
Can bless my foe as Christian must,
While patience smiles her royal smile;
Yet quick resentment fercely slings
lt1 sho,s of ire at little things.
Al d eau tread beneath my feet
Tho hills ol passions heaving set,
When wind Tossed waves roll stormily;
Yet scarce resist the siren sweet
That AT my hearts door softly sings
Forget, forget lile's little things"
But what is lite? Drops make the sea;
And petty cares and small events,
Small causes and small consequents,
Make up the sum Tor you and me;
Then, oh, f"r strength touneet the stings
That arm the points oi lIttle things!

Christmas Carol.


Pile on the Christmas logs
Higher and higher;
Cheerily, cheerily
Crackles the fire.
Now let the bells ring out
Merrily, morrily;
Now let the children shout
Cheerily, cheerily.
Let no harsh voices sound
Drearily, drearily;
Let naught but joy abound
Merrily, merrily.
Now let home voices sound
Brimtul of meaning;
Now let bright eyes abound,
Radiantly beaming.
Let not a note be heard
Breathing Of sorrow;
Let not a soul bring here
Care for the morrow.
Pile on the Christmas logs
Higher and higher;
Cheerily, cheerily
Crackles the fire.
Herald OF future bliss
Joyously dawning;
Hail to thee, hail to thee,
Bright Christmas morning.

Some one has figured up that when a
man says his wife is worth her weight
in gold, and she weighs 100 pounds, she
is worth Just $4,000. A fat wife,
weighing $50 pounds, would be worth
$50, 900, according to this calculation,
but 100 pounds of wife is worth more to
a man unless he intends to exhibit her
in side-show to a circus. - Norris

AS showing the durability of timber,
the fact is cited that the piles of bridge
built by the Roman Emperor Trojan
were found, after having been driven
some I,600 years, to be petrifed four
inches, the rest of the wood being in its
ordinary condition. The elm piles
under the piers of London bridge have
been in use more than 700 years, and are
not yet materially decayed, and beneath
the foundation of Savoy place, London,
oak, elm, beech and chestnut piles and
planks were found in a state of perfect
preservation, after having been there
for $50 years. Again, while taking
down the old walls of Tunbridge Castle,
Kent, England, there was found in the
middle of thick stone wall a timber
curb which had been enclosed for 700
years, and some timber of an old bridge
was discovered while digging tor the
foundations of house at Windsor which
must have been placed there prior to
the year 1896.
