which had been arranging treaties with the
Indians of northern Minnesota, are in the
CITY tor few days. They report most
determined effort ON the part of men in
tcrcstcd in the sale OF whisky to Indians TO
prejudice them against the commission.
The Indians OF Lcech Lake reservation
sold this season $4,000 worth of berries
and the commission states that the larger
part Of this goes to buy whisky. At White
Oak Point the Indians are found in a most
deplorablc condition. In some instances
they had been SO entirely robbed Of the
means of subsistence that they would eat
the dead bodies of diseased horses. The
men were in revolving condition and
seemingly lost to moral sense, while the

The disease seems to he growing each
year more common. 1t is an oatgrowth
of modern civilization, and occurs only
in persons who possess certain suscep-
tibiity of the nervous system, either her.
editary or acquired. 1t is more common
in men than in women, and prevails large
ly among men of letters and intellectual
culture, The direct exciting cause is now
well ascertained to be the pollen of GER
tain plants, such as grasses, rye, wheat
oats, ragweed and Roman NORWOOD
The pollen of different plants excites it
in different persons, but whatever cause
produces it once, will produce it again in
the same person. Hence it appears of
ten. times with strict regularity year after
year, at seasons varying from May to Oc-
tober. The first symptoms are those of
itching of eyelids and nasal passages, fol-
lowed by frequent sneezing and the dis
charge of a serious fluid. Henry Ward
Beecher, himself a sufferer, says:
lyon never before even suspected what
it was to sneeze. If pane of glass is
gone you sneeZe. If you look into the
sunshine you sneeze. If you sneeze once
you sneeze twenty times. 1t is riot of
sneezes. First a single one like a. leader
in flock of sheep, bolts over; then, and
in spite of what you can do, the whole
flock comes dashing over in twos, in fives
in punches of twenty"
Next there is redness and watering of
the eyes, swelling of mucous membrane
of the nose and general terrible symptoms
Sometimes the nose is entirely closed by
the swelling. Cough follows more or less
frequent and violent, generally with but
little expectoration. In certain proper
ton of cases there are paroxysms of
asthma, more or less severe. After avar-
liable duration the sneezing ceases, the
discharge becomes thick and less abun-
dant, the swelling subsidies and all the
symptoms abate. The only method OF
preventing the disease in susceptib BILE per
sons is to avoid exposure to the exciting
cause. Certain localities have gained
wide notoriety from the immunity which
they afford from this disease. Bethle
hem, n. H., is ono of the most famous OF
these. Others are found among the
mountains, at the seaside and on the is
lands. A voyage at ssa always gives re-
lief.

than an art; but any woman may aspire
to putting at ease everyone who APP
proaches her, and diffusing an atmosphere
of bright and graceful thought around.
To bring out the best thoughts OF ones
interlocutor is perhaps the highest touch
of this dainty art; and, indeed, there is
something almost divine in it when it
reaches this stage; for, to redeem from
the common place and to inspire with
Ioftier mood, is a godlike rather than a
human work.
Such an art is worth cultiyating, but
how: There is no textbook of converse
ton, no method of talking prescribed in
the schools. 1t is one of the things that
must be learned by,doing it. Yet we may
set it down as fundamental rule that, to
converse well, three things are necessary;
the first is sympathy and the second is
sympathy, and the third is sympathy. To
go out of ones self, to meet those with
whom one talks, not half way, but clear
upon their own ground; to lift the veil
from their best thought-this is the
secret of good conversation. 1t is talk
ing, as Bacon tells us, which makes the
ready man; but not all talking makes the
ready conversationalist. Not monologue,
nor talk in which the centre of interest is
in the talker. There must be the clash
of counterinterest, the friction of mind
and mind, the shuttlecock play of words
thrown quickly to and fro. Anthony
Trollope lays down as rule for novelists
that conversation should be broken MP
into short sentences; that no one utter
ance should be allowed more than GER
tain number of lines. The rule holds
good beyond the limits of the novel
short sentences, unincumbered by paren-
theses or explanatory clauses, are absolu-
tely essential to true conversation. 1t is
not politeness, but the nature of things
which forbids one speaker TO monopolize
conversation. Conversation ceases the
moment talk becomes a monologue. A
great man now and then, like Coleridge
may be permitted to do all the talking
but that is not conversation which he does
but something quite different, however
valuable.

A Good Mans Tenderness.

that to be tender-hearted is to be weak
and unmanly, Yet the tendermost heart

example, the story told of him to whom
We owe our wonderful railway system
George Stephenson went one day into an
upper room of his house and closed the
window. 1t had been left open long
time because of the great heat, but now
the weather was becoming cooler, and so
Mr.. Stephenson thought it would be
we'll To shut it, He little knew at the
time what he was doing. Two or three
days afterward, however, he CHANGED to
observe, a bird flying against that same
window and beating against it with all
its might, again and again, as if trying
TO break it. His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could the little
thing want? He at once went to the
room and opened the window TO see. The
window opened, the bird flew straight to
one particular spot in the room, where
Stephenson saw nest-that little bird
nest. The poor little bird looked at 1t,
took the sad story in at glance, and
fiuttered down to the floor, broken-heart-
ed, almost dead.
Stephenson, drawing nearer to look,
was filed with unspeakable sorrow. There
sat the mother bird, and under it four
tiny little young ones-mother and young
ones all apparently dead Stepenson
cried aloud. He tenderly lifted the ex-
hausted bird from the floor, the worm 1t
had so long and bravcly struggled TO
bring to its home and young still IN It's
beak and carefully tried to revive 1t; but
all his efforts proved in vain. Itspeedl-
" died. and the great man mourned for
many day. At that time the force OF
George Stephensons mind was changing
the face of the earth, yet he wept at the
sight of this dead family.

benefits of Electrical Treatment.

The benefits to be derived from
electrical treatment in many diseases,
when such treatment has been left to
the care of intelligent men who have
made a study of the subject, often
prompt people to try the same remedy
without consulting competent authority.
Nothing can be more has ardous than
this. and numerous cases could be cited
in which treatment lat home" by cleo
tricity has resulted in permanent injury
usually paralysis of the parts so treated.
IL was only recently that we heard of
such case from the lips of a physician
who employs electricity largely in his
practice, and another case has been re-
ported from Portland, Ore, to the effect
that quack, Stimulating the power of
magnetic healing wore shoe with metallic
soles. Thus, standing on other metallic
plates connected TO battery which was
concealed, he was able by the current pas
sing through his body to transmit it to
his patients or rather his Victims" by
the laying on of hands" He claimed,
of course, that the power of battery was
inherant in himself. The result of this
continuous passage of current through
the body has been to paralyze the quack,
a. might have been predicted. 1t may
not be generally nowa that in the
infancy Of the medical application of
the current, given by reputable operators
was passed through their own bodies in
order TO give them an indication OF its
strength. The physicians would hold
one electrode, the patient the other, and
the former by striking the part affected
with his hand, would transmit the current
to the patient The evil effects of this con
slant passage of current through the body
galvanometer supplies the physician with
the means of indication, without which
intelligent treatment is hardly possible.
