Montana Indians,

The number of Indians in Montana
is little over 1900, counting the
600 nomadic Cheyennes that were pro-
vided with reservation November 26
of last year. These are divided up
among the following tribes:
Blackfeet, Bloods, Piegans, Mountain
and River Crows, Flatheads, Pend
d'Oreilles, Kootenals. eros Ventres,
Assinaboines, Yanktonnais Sioux.
Santee Sioux, Teton Sioux and
Ogallalla Sioux. They all have large,
fine reservations (plenty of land with
nothing on iD, and aside from being a
little hungry at times and Few starry
ing to death once in while, have
done very well during 1884. Notwith-
standing all the drawbacks to their
prosperity, the Indians of Montana
have been steadily on the increase,
numerically, during the past few years.
Hardship, suffering and starvation
seem to have agreed with them. For
the benefit of all concerned it would
be a good plan to bunch them together
on one reservation with just so much
land as is necessary to their wants and
no more. and leave the rest open for
settlement or grazing.-F'0rt KeoQh

Parasites in Domestic Fowls.

On dissecting a fowl which had died
from sickness, Thomas Taylor. M. d.,
Of the department of agriculture,
found reddish markings on the RIB
muscles and the lungs, which under
the microscope were seen to consist of
numerous mites, closely resembling
Cytoleiohts sarcoptoides (Megnin), a
species not hitherto reported in Amer
lea. When the skin was removed from
another fowl, great numbers of small,
white, opaque specks were seen in the
cellular tissue, and by means of the
microscope mites were found, of the
species Laminosioptes gallinoratna Meg.
nin). The Opaque specks were of
calcareous substance, and many con-
tanned the remains of one or more of
these mites. In the same fowl DR..
TAYLOR found thousands of encysted
nematoids, resembling, under micro
scope of low power, 7'richina spiraiis,
but under a power of about five hun
dred dlameters they seemed to be of
an undescribed species. A third fowl
also contained mites of the species
qallino,7am. DR.. Taylor deems it proba-
bic that considerable amount of dis
ease prevailing among American do
nestle fowls, and not referable to any
known type may be due to such para
sites. He suggested that carbolic acid,
or other disinfectants, sprinkled about
henneries might prove useful as an
antidote to these, and to external para

Newspaper War Correspondents.

Newspaper correspondents, as the
war for the suppression of the rebellion
progressed, found their position grow
ing more and more unpleasant. Gen.
erals who demonstrated their con-
seriousness of their own incompetency,
and the parasites who blossomed on
their stats in the glittering blazonry
gilded buttons and dazzling shoulder
straps were accustomed, however, to
disguise their incompetency and fail
ures by attributing them to news
papers and their army correspondents.
They had as often succeeded in delud-
ing the public upon this subject as
they had failed in discharging their
duties. Being reduced to the necessity
of palliating their own unsatisfactory
conduct and their missmanagement,
abuse OF the press had seemed to them
the most plausible mode of escape
from the disagreeable position in which
they had found themselves. 1t was
noticeable fact that the only generals
in this war who warred upon the news
papers were those who had acquired
unenviable or odious distinction in
campaigning or field operations. But
it was still more conspicuous fact
that in most instances in which they
arraigned army correspondents their
accusations were of personal charac-
ter. They did not charge that cores
pondents had exposed their plans to
the rebels, or that they had ''given aid
directly or indirectly to the enemy"
but they whined because their manage
ment and their personal conduct was
unfavorable or disparagingly CRITICS.

resenting facts in this connection,
discharged the duties
which they were expected by the pub
lie to perform. There is no process of
reasoning which will satisfy Intelligent
persons that exposures ofincompetence
or neglect caniniure the public service,
while it is demonstrate that in the
long run it promotes the cause in
which the country is engaged, by
leading to'the displacement of officers
from command which they are uufit
to exercise. Military commanders
are public officers. AS such their con-
duct is open to criticism, and the
press must not be muzzled or sup
pressed for the statement of facts
which do not harm the cause of the
people, or for the expression of con-
victions based upon such facts.-Ben:

Wood Fires.

What, pray, have become of the hap.
ply gatherings of the young people OF
long ago when hoary winter was
abroad, and the Christmas fires were
built of hickory and white oak wood,
and the stories were told and the songs
were sung, and peace and merriment
went round, and love tokens of whis-
pered words, shy glances and down.
cast looks were exchanged, as the
hands of maidens and youths were
joined in the merry dance, and rafters
quaked and quivcred to the tread of
feet and the genius of music that
foated from a negro's fiddle or baniop

with ancient firc-places are made wan

modern vandalism of the coal fire.
When hoary winters blast is knock
ing at the door and beating on the
windows and rumbling through the
chimney, what an exquisite feeling of
comfort and good cheer steals over
you as you sit basking in the
warmth and glow of a good wood fire!
Then all sorrows are subdued into a
dream-lke happiness and the memory
of ills are forgotten. There the light
falls upon the faces of those you love.
and the storms of the world are heard
not as you drink in the peace of heav-

there is more real good solid comfort
to be gotten out of wood fire than all

Inebriety Among Railroad Engineers

As class, railroad engineers in
active service are exceptionally tenn
perate men. The daily performance
of their duty requires clear brain
and steady nerve, which is very soon
broken up by any use of alcohol.
The nerve tension to which they are
subjected in active work produces af-
ter time many and profound nerve
disorders. One of the hints of break
ing down in this class is excessive eau
ton and timidity. Often men who
have had an accident and escaped
without any external injury will soon
exhibit signs of mental shock, in what
is called loss of nerve, or childish eau
ton. Their trains will always be
late, they will 'slow down" and
slacken speed from no reason except
some internal fears, and have to be
changed to other work. Insomnia and
dyspepsia are also common signs of
exhaustion. After the days run they
will be unable to sleep or properly d.
gest food, and alcohol in some form
will be found to give relief. This will
soon verge into inebriety, and the
drinking will be confined to the hours
after the work is over. During the
day they drink nothing, except, per-
haps, beer, and that in great modera-
ton; but when night comes they use
spirits to excess again. After time
such men will show marks of failure
in excessive caution or recklessness.
and be very irregular in their manage
ment of the engine. They will have
heated journals and broken engines
beyond the average experience.
These and many other indications
soon render them unfit for the work.
1t is the opinion of competent author
lty that an engineer who begins to
drink will be, as a rule, obliged to
give up work in two years from gen.
eral incompetency, although his use of
spirits may be at home and largely
and what is called general
moderation. A fact has recently come
o my notice with its explanation that

Mental Disorders.

Medical men, whether they b.
specialists in the study of mental dis
eases or not, in the differentiation OF
the class of diseases now under con.
sideration, labor under peculiar diff.
culties. There are many mental disor-
ders which are unaccompanied with
any recognizable abnormal physical
conditions of the brain; that is to say,
in which there are no structural les
ions of the brain cognizable during
life. or which can be satisfactorily de-
monstrated in the autopsy; and there
are many in which the mental aliena-
ton can not be fairly traced to any
LESSONS in any other part of the body.
The number of these examples may
hereafter be found to be smaller than
is now known, but tor the present the
fact is as l have stated. That func-
tional disturbance of the brain exists
in such is self-evident; but for aught
we know this may be due to some
slight molecular, chemical, or vital
changes in the nerve cells of the gray
matter of the brain or of a group of
cells, not denoted by any peculiar
physical signs during life, and which
can leave no possible traces after
death. To cause mental arrangement
it may be only necessary that these
microscopic cells should be tenn
porarily deprived of their normal sup
ply of oxygen through the vascular
system; or, on the other hand, a slight
increase in the supply of the proper
nutriment or stimulus may cause the
same results. A simple loss of equi-
librium, or change of tension in the
nerve cell, may cause delirium. These
abnormal physical conditions may be
temporary or permanent, but in either
case they will probably, in the future
as in the past, elude the most careful
of the physician, the chem
ist, and the microscopic. Science has
the vibrations of the music |
al chord, and measured the oscillations
of ray of light, but has not estimated |
the vibrations of the living intellectual |
nerve cell, nor analysed its aura which
waits necessarily and instantly upon
its will. 1t has furnished no means,
therefore, of determining mathematic-
ally when the mysterious organ of the
mind is out of tune, or why it's notes
ire discordant.--Dr. Frank r. Hanatl-

Mexico as a Winter Resort.

Arriving at Cuautla, we found an ex
cellent hotel, the San Diego, directly
across the plaza from the railway
station. The landlord was German,
and had been in the country about
thirty years. The hotel was a one
story structure, built around large
court, the rooms opening upon a tile
: rooted veranda. In the court was a
tall date-palm, with sprays of rich,
orange-hued blossoms rising among its
graceful plumes of dark green.
l hardly expected to meet in an OBJ
scure Mexican town party of Ameri-
can tourists passing the time in placid
ease, just as they might be encounter
ed at nice Swiss inn in some Alpine
valley. Yet we encountered at the
San Diego most delightful company
of our compatriots. One, an eminent
artist, who was something of an in

place. These winter days in Cuautla
were all like our ideal June weather.
at home, he said. There was no in
were absolute strangers. Mexico he
regarded as superior to Florida as a
winter refuge. In these warm lands,
besides the endless scenic variety,
there was an unchanging climate all
through the winter; at least on the Pa
cifc side of the mountains. On the
gulf slope, as at Orlsaba. there were
occasional fogs, rain, and raw north
ers.
"And then there are no mosquitoes
here" said another friend. 81 have
never seen land so free from them.
The few insects one meets here are
really contemptible; feel inclined to
pity them for their feebleness."
1t is, indeed, great mistake for
people to come to Mexico from the
north in the winter and contine them
selves to the capital. They experience
the chilly weather which now and then
visits the high regions of the central
tableland at that season, and with the
abrupt transitions of cold and heat
from morning to noon and night they
at times feel more discomfort than in
their wintry northern home, where
genial hearth-fres glow, until at last
they perhaps leave for home in dis
