tints frequently containing more than the

made for confectionery, and other papers.
Arsenic, as we'll As other poisons, is like
wise now used in the colorinS matter Of
ladies' dresses, gentlemen's underclothing,
socks, hat Innings, lining Of boots and
shoes, and is found in woolleDs, silks, cot

grains of it have been found in each square
foot Of q dress, and as many as ten grains
have been detected in . single artificial

ONE of the stock arguments for letting
girls into boys schools and colleges has
been that their refined ways and gentle

nois, where q fight in the college hall be-
tween q freshman girl and a sophomore
girl, recently, gave the signal for general
and active hostilities between the two
classes, attended with physical and discip-
linary casualties. What il, instead Of re-
ining tho manners Of the boys, the girls
should pattern after them? That is . pos

A MEDICINE SONG.

No whites are admitted to the tents
while the Utes sing their medicine
songs over the sick, but /, being con-
sidered one of Pursune's family, was
allowed to remain. When their child
was sick his family asked me to sing
with them, which did. The Medicine
Man kneels close to the sufferers, with
his back to the spectators, while he
sings in series of high-keyed grunts,
gradually reaching lower and solemn
tone. The family join, and at inter
walls he howls so loudly that one can
hear him mile; then his voice dies
away and only gurgling sound is
heard, as if his throat were full of wa
ter. The child lay nearly stripped.
The doctor presses his lips against the
breast of the sufferer and repeats the
gurgling sound. He sings a few min
utes more, and then all turn around
and smoke and laugh and talk. Some
times the ceremony is repeated all
night. l assisted at two of these medi-
cine festivals. The sick-bed ceremo-
MES were very strange and weird, and
more interesting than anything 1 saw
IN all my captivity of twenty-three

A Platform Scene None Who Saw Will
Forget.

The following incident at the meet
ing of the American Missionary Asso-
citation at Chicago, is given in the Ad-
Uance of Nov. 6:
Actions speak, not less than words.
There are times and unique situations
when nothing is so eloquent as a seen
fact. The fact which was presented
upon the platform Wednesday evening
was one of the utmost significance. 1t
was the most impressive spectacle and
occasion of the entire meeting; and
one, we venture to say, which has new
er been matched at any similar gather
ing in America. Four speeches we're
made; by a Christian Chinaman
Christian Negro; a Christian Indian a
Christian white man-all representative
men. The names of these men were
Gee Gam of Oakland Cal. ; Rev. Mr..
Sanders; John Big Elk, of the Omaha
tribe, and DIR. Roy. The first speaker
was the Chlnaman. He was dressed in
the picturesque native costume, and
wore the national queue. He spoke
with extreme tranquility of manner, as
If his mind had inherited the undis-
turbed serenity of the ages. He was
converted while in the home of Prof.
George Mooar, of the Oakland Theo-
logical Seminary. The story of his con-
version he told with touching simplici-
ty. He was converted, just as any other
sinner is converted, when he learns the
way of salvation and consents to accent
and welcome Christ Jesus as his Savior.
John Big Elk wore an ordinary suit
OF black cloth, but had a blue blanket
wrapped about his waist, extending
down to his feet His hair was long,
stiff and black, his frame large, his face
copper-colored. He spoke only in his
native dialect, but with slow, impress
slve deliberation, ending his talk with
tue remark that he wanted to pray. He
instantly turned his back to the audi
ence knelt down over his blanket and
prayed in his own language, speaking
with fervent and impressive tones. AS
DIR. Goodwin said next day, his pulpit
had been re-consecrated, and the vision
OF that man, before that great as
sembly, agonizing in prayer on behalf
OF his own people could never be
effaced.

medical corps and nurses were better,
too; in fact, there was better organiZa-
ton all around"
Mr.. Walsh is hero in the true sense
of the word. Just as much as soldier
acting bravely and brilliantly on the
field of battle; as the sailor performing
deeds of daring during the shipwreck.
Last year, when the yellow fever threat
ened to annihilate every soul in Mem
phis, and fifteen OF twenty thousand of
its inhabitants fled for safety, including
officers of the civic, state and federal
governments, upon whom great re-
sponsibility rested, Mr.. Walsh remain
ed at his post of duty. All around him
brave men were dying, who, like him,
remained to succOr the distressed; but
he fiinched not. To bury the dead was
duty, and only those who were witnesses
of the terrible scenes can realize what
fOrtitude, what herOism, that duty re-
quired. White men refused TO assist
him in carting the bodies to the ceme
terry, and time came when even the
colored men, rejecting liberal offers of
money, refused to handle the bodies of
the dead, so sickening were the OdOrs
they had to encounter and the sights
they saw, and Mr.. Walsh himself was
IN many instances compelled to handle
the putrescent remains. He lived in
and hreathed an atmosphere of death III
its most horrible form, such as would
make the stOutest heart quake, and un-
dermine any but the strongest cOnsti-
tuition. Between five and six hundred
people died in and around Memphis
during the last epidemic, and probably
one half of these were placed under the
sod by Mr.. Walsh.
1t was with great difficulty that the
reporter could get him to speak of his
achievements, he being, like true he
rOes, Il modest man. Only by occasional
references betimes could he be got to
speak in reference thereto.

offensive oder very soon told of a corpse
far decayed. 1t was a matter of neces-
sity to bury it at once the official and
public safety compelled it, and there
was no time to inquire who was who
but hurry the remains to the Potter,
field. OF course, when people were
recognized and known to have been il
good circumstances or had friends, the
body was inferred in Il regular GENE
terry"
Last winter the reporter wandered
oveI the Potter's field with Mr.. Walsh
and he can never forget the sight he
witnessed and the saddening thoughts
it gave rise tO--the sunken graves, con-
seqnent upon having been hurriedly
made and then deluged with heavy
rains; the bare cross twigs, with pieces
of paper inserted in clefts, bearing
memoranda, which had almost been OBJ
liberated by the action of the weather,
as the only tokens of identity of what
rested beneath.

To THE YOUNG MAN WHO WHISTLE,

Whistle all you will in solitary places,
son, if it pleases you, whistle in the
night as you go home, if you will, for a
CHEEKY whistle in the dark is pleasant
sound unto the listening soul of the be-
lated passenger, but when you come
into the assemblages and the business
haunts of men, unpucker your musical
lips and shut up your whistle in yonr
heart. And if ever the temptation
comes to you to whistle against the
edge of a card, crush it out, if the effort
kills you. Whistling is not lofty nor
yet useful, although it is a universal
accomplishment. Though you practice
hundred years, and though you whis-
tie never SO whistley, my son, yet the
commonest switch engine that ever
scared a human being deaf, can beat
you at it. The great and good wele
never great whistlers, my son. George
Washington never sat in "a friends office

Infection, the party of the other part
being John Walsh, undertaken for the
taxing district of Shelby county, who
became famous during the plague of

performed his arduous, disagreeable
duty. Jack Walsh, as he is Familiarity
and popularity known in Memphis, as
sured the reporter that there was no
fear of contagion, and exhibited his
clean bill of health. Then ensued n
desultOry conversation about Memphis
and IFS present condition. 1t was of
necessity brief, for Mr.. Walsh was tired
and desired rest. This much, however.
