Some Indian Girls.
AT THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL AT CARLISLE,
PENNSYLVANIA,

AS an example of their stoicism, it is
said that during a fight with our troops,
in the west, an Indian women concealed
her little girl in barrel, telling her to
remain perfectly quiet, whatever hap
pened. After the battle the child was
found with her arm shattered by mimic
ball-but she had uttered no sound
Their distrust of the whites is as char
acteristic as their self-control. One of
the little girls at the school, who retains
her Indian name, Keseeta, bears fright
full scars from wounds inflicted by her
mother with sharp stone. Their vii
lage had been taken by United States
soldiers, and rather than have her child
fall into the hands of the white men, the
poor mother tried to kill her. Coming
from such influences, it is surprising to
note how quickly the young Indians show
appreciation of what is done for them,
and the intelligence and affection which
light their black eyes as they return the
greetings of the noble women who
teach them.
Many of the names of these children,
especially of the girls, sound oddly, for
it is common for them to choose Chris
tan names of their own, while retaining
their fathers names for the sake of fam
lily distinction. This gives rise to such
queer combinations as Isabella Two
Dogs, Katy White Bird, Maud Chief Kill
er, Gertrude White Cloud, Maggie Amer
ican-Horse, Anna Laura Shooting-Cat,
Alice Lone-Bear, Hattie Lone-Wolf,
Stella Chasing Hawk, and Ruth Big
Head. These girls are neat in their
habits, bright, and initiative. Some of
them have very pretty faces and could
readily be mistaken for white children;
the faces of others, newer arrivals, have
sadness and vacancy of expression due
to privation and suffering. Yet these
faces, we are told, are not so sad as were
some others which now culver with in
telligence and feeling.-&. Nicholas

Preserving Eggs.

The Prairie Farmer SAYS: ssThe
keeping of eggs being almost wholly a
question of temperature and the excIu-
sion of air from them, it follows that that
which will do both in the cheapest and
most effectua way will be the best.
Hence eggs are kept in very great num-
bers by cold storage-that is by provid-
ing a steady low temperature not above
thirty-tive degrees Fair. But this is
expensive. When, however, the temper
ture can be kept down to seventy-five
degrees and below, if eggs are packed in
some dry, clean substance which will
exclude the atmospheric air, they may
be kept in q comparatively fresh state
for mopths. This may be done in the
following way: Provide clean, dry pack
ages not exceeding in capacity the quar-
ter or third of barrel, and sufficiency
of common, fine, ground land plaster,
such as is used for agricultural purposes.
Commence by putting layer of the
plaster two inches deep on the bottom of
the package. and into this set the eggs
small end down. so each egg will be
separate from every other. When the
strata of eggs is complete add more
plaster, then a second strata of eggs till
bAO poShSSO 10 Au4As II Ll4O HOlh 10 uOl6
carefully all the eggs are sound when
packed, and each egg is separate from
every other, and the temperature not
allowed to get above seventy five
degrees, the result in every case will be
satisfactory"
The Neao England Farmer says:
''The plan of a French chemist for pre-
serving eggs is as follows: While quite
fresh they are gently struck against each
other to see if they be sound" next
they are placed i'll a kind of earthen
pite4n&aSassne=<ry narrow bottom.
When the vessel is full. a solution of a
quarter of an ounce of quick lime to one
quart of water is poured in. The lime
water permeates the shell till it reaches
the first membrane, rendering the latter
impervious. The pitchers are then
placed in a cellar, from which all light is
excluded, but a uniform Temperature of
Al to As degrees Fahrenheit is main
tanned. In the course of a few DAYS
pellicle forms ON the surface of the
water in each pitcher Carbonate of Iime),
and that must never be broken till the
moment for Withdrawing the eggs. This
process enables the eggs to be kept fresh

five In thousand prove Objectionable. +"

The Father OF TeeIOtalism.

Joseph Livesey, the father of teeto-
talism, died at his residence, Bank
Parade, Preston. England. in his ninety
first year. On Sept. l, 1882, Mr.. Live
sey drew up his first total abstinence
pledge, which was signed by seven men
of Preston, including himself. He af-
terward established temperance soci-
cites in different parts of the kingdom.
He also took an active part in the anti
Corn law agitation, and established in
1914 the Preston Guardian, which re-
manned as substantial property in his
family until 1859. He also conducted a
spirited campaign against the central
lied cons titution of the Poor Law Board.
Mr.. Livesey filled most of the public
offices in his native town, and rendered
many special services in times of emer-
gency, and promoted many public i'm
provements. Few faces were more fa-
miliar than his in districts where sick
ness and suffering prevailed. Mr. Live
sey was left destitute orphan at the
age of seven years, and he commenced
life, like Livingstone, at the handloom.

The Patent Medicine Business.
THE AMOUNT OF STUFF MADE AND THE
VALUE OF ADVERTISING.


"There are patent medicines without
end" says a druggist. "In this cata-
logue l have here there are 5000 va
rieties listed, which are actively before
the trade, and there are fully 1000 va
rieties known. Then consider the vast
number which have only local reputa-
ton, and L have no doubt the total
would be brought up to 5000. The
amount of manufacturing done is ire
mendous, buta larger number of firms
haven't much capital to put into adver-
Using, and consequently their products
never secure anything but a local repu-
tation. The big Eastern firms have ex-
tensive manufactures, in which they
employ thousands of people, and many
of them have even arrived at that point
where they own large printing offices
and get out their own advertising mat
ter.
at would be hard matter to guess
at the total amount manufactured, but
an idea can be obtained by referring to
few of the more prominent of the med
icines now before the public. Last year
the value of the product of well-known
Rochester firm was So, 100000, of a
Philadelphia firm, $4,000, 900; of an
other Philadelphia firm. 81, 100000; of
a Baltimore firm, 81, 600, 900; of a Buffalo
firm, $1,000, 900; of a Lowell firm
81, 900, O0O."
1.-THE amount of advertising done in
the interest of patent medicines, through
almanacs, newspapers, circulars, show
cards, posters, etc., is simply enormous, !"
said a well-known advertising agent
whom the reporter subsequently visited,
'and the money paid out runs up into
the millions. Almanacs are printed by
the ton, and when you figure out that
these almanacs will average sixteen or
seventeen to the pound you can realize
what that means, and not one ton or
five tons, but hundreds of them. know
several firms who issue from fifty to
three hundred tons of printed matter
every year; and, besides, do an immense
amount of newspaper advertising.

many firms who pay out from $50, 600
to 500, 000,"

A RUSSIAN BEAUTY.
Two United States Officers In Alaska Die
for Love of n Woman.

Two United States Officers In Alaska Die
for Love of n Woman.
The captain and lieutenant of one of
the companies stationed at Sitka in the
first year of United States possession fell
desperately in love with the same beau
tiful Russian. She was most charm
ing woman, with soft, mysterious eyes,
a pale, delicate face and slow, dreamy
smile that set the two warriors wild. All
the garrison knew of their fierce rivalry,
so marvelled not o little when their old
friendship appeared to be restored, and
the two sIlitors started off on hunting
expedition together. One haggard man
returned two days later and told that his
companion had been attacked and gored
to death by an enraged buck in the for
est. He was gloomy and strange in his
manner, and at nightfall went to the
house of the Russian lady to break the
news of his rivals death.
The friends of the lost officer talked
the thing over, and suspecting that a
duel had been fought decided to go ont
next day and search for the body. In
the morning the surviving rival was
found dead in bed, with look of agony
and horror on his face. One story was
that his victim had appeared to him,
and he had died of fright and terror; the
other was that some unknown and subtle
poison had been administered to him in
q cup of tea and the official report
ascribed his death to heart disease. The
body of the lost rival was found at the
foot of a steep bank on the shore of the
Indian River, where tangle of ferns,
bushes and grasses shaded and almost
covered the clear, still pool in which he
lay. His rifle lay near him and bullet
hole is his heart told the sad truth that
his friends had suspected. His death
was officially attributed to the accident
al discharge of his own rifle while
hunting, and under these two verdicts
the real truth was concealed. The fam
lily of the Russian beauty disappeared
from Sitka in a few months, and the
story had been half forgotten until the
recent opening of path along Indian
River recalled it to some of those who
lived there at the time.

Lies Burdens.

A large part of LIES burdens age self
imposed and wholly needless. Fears,of
calamities which never happen, dole
full habit of looking at the worst, sus-
picious disposition, a jealous turn of
mind-these are the tyrants that load us
with burdens heavy to bear and needless
to carry. If we should honestly examine
the various burdens of our lives, we
would be surprised to find how many of
them are of this character. Not only
may we drop them if we will, but justice
to others demands that we should. A
man or a woman habitually unhappy is
essentially selfish, and is always a thorn
in the community. There are enough
crosses and trials in life which must be
borne, without manufacturing artificial
and needless ones; and the more thor
oughly we rid ourselves of the latter,
the more energy and spirit we can bring
to bear upon the former.

water, a sprig of parsley, and a shred
or two of onion. Simmer for half an

just soupco1 of lemon juice. A neatly
trimmed poached egg may be put into
the soup when it is ready to serve,
accompanying it with thin slice of del

toast. Sage may be used instead of
tapioca for change, in which case the
soup must be simmered for an hour after
the soaked sage is added. Just before
serving stir in the well-beaten yolk of an
egg. This may be done without curdling
by pouring a cupful of soup over the
egg, very gradually beating the while,
then turn this into the saucepan and
give one boil.

water and boil in a closely covered
vessel for two hours. Strain, skim off
the fat, if any, season to taste, and add
two tablespoonfuls of pearl sage, previ-
ously soaked in warm water for an hour.
Simmer the soup for half an hour.
Meantime beat the yolks of two eggs
until light, and stir in small cup of
cream heated to boiling. Add this to
the soup, let it come to boil once, and
serve.
Chicken broth may be given to patients
recovering from fever. Out fowl

it into two quarts of cold water, and
cook until the meat falls to pieces.
Strain it and remove every particle OF
fat. Add two tablespoonfuls of rice and
a very little chopped parsley and simmer
until the rice is done, by which time
the broth should be reduced to three
pints. Never season too highly soup
intended for sick person..
Mutton broth can be made in the
same manner, allowing pound of neck
of mutton for each pint of broth. Both
should be accompanied with thin cream
waters that have been placed in the
oven minute or two before serving.

THE CANNIRALS,
How Captain Dudley Put Penknife In the
Cabin Boys Throat

Captain Dudley, of the Inflated Mig
nonette; has freely discussed with his
English friends the terrible adventures
which befel him at sea. After descrlb-
ing the wreck and the manner in which
the crew put off in boat, he says
1.-THE sea was raging around us, and we
managed to make sea anchor with the
pinnacle and some boards. The boat
was leaking, but I cut off the bottom
of my trousers and drawers and stopped
up the hole. About eleven o'clock
shark came alongside, but we beat him
off with the oars. Our situation was
truly terrible one, and it seems now a
miracle how the dingy kept af1oat IN
such sea. On the fourth day we sue
ceeded in capturing a fair sized turtle
which seemed to swim to the boat and
almost turn himself up for us. We drank
his blood out of the chronometer box,
and afterward cut up the whole of the
flesh into strips and hung it around the
boat. So overjoyed were we at this find
that we ate our second tin of turnip.
Day after day passed, and on the
eleventh day we had finished the turtle,
and had nothing left except the two fins.
but we ate everything, even the bones.
'"The fat of the turtle proved very
nutritious, and we got water few times
when there was showers by catching the
rain in our oilskins, though sometimes
when we had little drop sea broke
into it and spoiled it so that we had to
throw it away. We went on from the
fifteenth to the twentieth day without
any food at all or drink, and by that
time we had begun to look each other
in the face very black. The boy, who
had drank some sea water at night, said:
we shall all die and remarked, we
shall have to draw lots, boys This was
ignored by all, and they said: we had
better die together to which I replied,
so let it be, but it is hard for four to
die, when perhaps one might save the
rest A day or two before I suggested
we should try and make some kind of
sail, which we did with our shirts
rugged on an oar for a mast, and strand
of the painter for shrouds and stays.
Things now looked as bad as they
could. On either the nineteenth or
twentieth day the boy was lying in the
bottom of the boat, where he had been
for two days, gasping for breath and

is to be done? I believe that boy is
dying. You have wife and five chill

took his watch at six o'clock, and we

said he could not do it, and Stephens

to go forward, which he did. I then
took hold of the shrouds and had a last
look round to see if anything was in
sight, but there was nothing. 1 offered
prayer most fervently that God above
might forgive us for such an act, and
then knelt down by the boy and said,
