STANDING ROCK.

The Historical Work Painted 5s SIS
sioux Indians with Impressive Re-
ligtOus Ceremonies.
EARLY last Saturday morning, says the
Winona Times, OF the 18th, the big
chiefs and medicine men Of all the tribes
and many OF lesser note gathered at the
agency to arrange the ceremony OF
unwilling the standing rock which had
been mounted upon q pedestal, where it
is intended it shall stand for all time.
For hours they sat in council talking
over the legends connected With that
historical monument and ~endeavoring
to decide whom they should honor with
the duty OF offering the prayers and
and painting the "kock".
1t was decided that no man should
touch the rock who had been guilty OF
Of any offense or wrong Of any kind.
Sitting Ball said that only the purest
man in all the tribes could perform the
sacred service; they must search until
they could lind Q man whose life was
absolutely pure, that the sacred stone
might not in any way become polluted.
After discussing the merits and dement's
OF q hundred chiefg Fire Cloud" of
"Fire Hearts" band wal chosen.
About 2 O'Clock ia the afternoon the
Indians gathered about the rock to per-
form the ceremony. According to the
Indian superstition, no Indian could re-
move the covering, and they were in q
quandary how to proceed, when Major
Mclaughlin stepped forward and re-
moved the blanket. In q neat little
speech, the major told the Indians that
he had found this rock, sacred to the In
dian and Of great historic interest to the
whites, frequently changed from place to
place, and not guarded as the associa-
ttions connected with it should lead IL to
be; that he had built for it a pedestal
and had it placed thereon, and that II
should remain forever and for their chill
dren and grandchildren for all ages to
look upon.
When Major mclaughlin retired
Fire Cloud. stepped forward and spent
an hour painting the rock, praying
meanwhile: The prayer was 9 remarka'
BILE n to issue from an Indians lips
especislly as that Indian was q
late hostile. and his audience consisted
OF Sitting Bull and his braves. Never
before has an Indian been known to
pray for peace. Their prayers are
always for success in battle or fol
increase in game. Yet "Fire Cloud
told the Indians there assembled that i
they Fad done any wrong in all theil
iiveB they should be ashamed and
Inundated there In the presence of the
holy rock, repent, and ~hsnceiorth live
lives absolutely pure.

proposal to enter the knights of labor
made by Grand Master Workman Pow
DERBY last summer. Nearly all the yotet
have been received and are overwhelm-

A Happy Thought

San Diego Union: A sleeper is one
who sleeps. "A sleeper ID that in which
the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on
which the sleeper that carries the sleeper
while he sleeps runs. Therefore while the
sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper
carries the sleeper " the sleeper
under the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper jumps off Che
sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the
sleeper BY striking the sleeper under the
sleeper and there is no longer any

Instead of irwin. ID lgs- down arbitrary
rules as to the length of sleep it would
he wiser in a common sense and physiO-
logical way TO say. Work while il is day
sleep when YOU are weary, which will be
at night if the day has lcen spent in hon
est and energetic labor. When you
wake, rise: and if the days work has
been sufficiently well done the time OF
waking will not be earlier than sunrise.
The difficulties about sleep and sleepless-
neSs-apart from dreams-are almost uni
formly fruits of perverse refusal to
comply with the laws of nature. Take,
for example, the case of a man who can
not sleep at night, or rather who, having
fallen asleep, wakes II he is what is
called strong minded. he thinks, or per
haps reads, and falls asleep again. This
being repeated lays the foundations of a
habit of waking in the night and think
ing or reading TO induce sleep. Before
long the thinking or reading fails to in
duce sleep, and habitual sleeplessness
occurs for which remedies are sought
and mischief is done.
If the wakcful man would only rouse
himself on waking and get up and do a
full days work of any sort, and not dOze
during the day, when next the night
came round his sixteen or twenty hours
Of wakefulncss would be rewarded by
sleep of nine or ten hours in length; and
one or two of these manful struggles
against perverted tendency to abnormal
habit would reCtify the error and avert
the calamity. The cure for sleeplessneSs
must be natural, because sleep is a state
of natural rhythmical function. You
cannot tamper with the striking move
ment of clock without injuring it, and
you cannot tamper with orderly reCur
renee of sleep without impairing the very
constitution of things on which the or
derby performance of that function de
pends. Lancet
