awhile, grunted, and returned to the circle
around the council fire. Not word was
spoken. Soon another Indian got up, walked
sedately to the instruments, gravely examined
them, grunted, and in silence returned to his
place by the fire. This example was followed
by half dozen other bucks. Then they held
a short consultation, and the head man arose

LEATHER CARP.

There is a common fish in some Of our
streams and waters, a bony, worthless crea-
ture that is sometimes called a carp. Don't
be misled by that, but get only the German
carp, the genuine yacob." The real carp is
of the gold fish family. There are three
species, the scale, the mirror and the leather.
The latter is that shown in the illustration. 1t
is called the ''leather" carp, not because it is
tough, but because its skin is soft and scale
less.
There is government publication called
"Carp and Carp Ponds," which is also to be
had free for the asking. 1t is written by c.
W. Smiley. Write for it to the United States
fish commissioners office, Washington. d. c.

Indians Increasing in Population.

A Minnesota man, who knows the Indians
of the northwest well, advances the theory
that they are increasing instead of diminish
ing in numbers. He says that they have
been steadily following the buffalo westward,
gradually moving from the Atlantic coast to
the far west, and multiplying as they moved.

Indians: the last total number reported was

gerous Disease.

The Durability of This Painful aud Dan.
gerous Disease.
The prevalent notion that consump-
ton is necessarily fatal has cost tens of
thousands of lives, partly through its
depressing influence on the mind. and
partly through the consequent neglect
of the means essential TO & cure. We
have before incidentally spoken of its
durability. Its importance justifes a
fuller reference to it. DR.. Austin Flint
is one of the brightest medical authori-
ties in America A paper on this sub
iect was lately read by him before the
New York County Medical Association.
on which other leading members freely
expressed their views. He said il was
a prevalent notion that the disease was
equivalent to a sentence Of death
by local tribunal On the
contrary, its progress might be
arrested entirely; or be SO slow
that the patient might be comparatively
free from danger; or it might continue
indefinitely in about the same state. and
so. under favorable circumstances. not
prove fatal. If the kidneys were not
IL
and the other organs We're in good COM
dition, so as TO supply the lack of the
former. the person might continue to
live in fair state OF health, provided
he observed the laws OF health in GEM
eral. The object of treatment. in his
view, was to prevent the further prog.
ress of the disease and to maintain favor
able accessory conditions. Hence an
early diagnosis is important When the
water is right in quantity and specific
gravity. medicines to increase it or to
promote the action of the skin, etc, only
do harm But even if the kidneys prove
insufficient for ther proper work of
elimination. vicarious eliminafion-elim-
ination by other organs-1nay take place.
Even coma (lethargy) due to urea in the
blood may be recovered from.
In the discussion of the paper, all the
speakers Endorsed the views of DR.. Flint,
and gave signal instances in illustration
from their own practice DR. George
L. Peabody wished TO emphasize the fact
strongly, that the disease might con-
tinue indefinite without causing serious
trouble in those whose condition in life
was such that no stress was laid on any
particular organ by their mode of liv-
ing, and who could have all necessary
care. DR.. Edward G. Janeway mem
toned three cases in which the disease
had lasted in one case five years, in the
second eleven, in the third seventeen.
When the last case came Under his
charge, five years ago, the prospect was
very dark, but the patient had now, to
a great extent, recovered. DR.. C S.
Wood gave the case of one sixty years
old, who was apparently now as well as
ever, though he had the disease at least
four years Dr. Quackenboss spoke of
one. perfectly well now. who, when he
first saw her, ten years ago, was so

KEEPING GEESE.
A Profitable Industry If Properly and Sys-
temeticalIy Managed


Geese are profitable or improbable
according to the manner in which they
are kept. IF given the use of large
pond on which they ean enjoy them
selves and dive down in search of nip
nows and tadpoles, they can supply
themselves with all the animal food they
require. They should also have plenty
of grass. When geese are kept on
abandoned fields, And have access TO
ponds. they are profitable: but if they
are to be fed altogether. they win be
kept at loss. They often do damage
to pastures. and destroy and waste
much that they should not dis
turb. The best breeds are
the Toulouse and Embden, the
latter being entirely white
in color, thus rendering their feathers
more valuable. A cross of the Toulouse
gander on the Embden goose makes the
largest oroduce for market. A goose
viii lay from twenty to forty eggs, but
seldom matches more than one brood.
The goslings should not be allowed near
the water until fully feathered. as damp
ness is injurious to them. the down be-
ing no protection They should be fed
for the first six or eight weeks on q
mixed diet, and may then be left to
their parents altogether. Old geese
make the best breeders. but only the
young ones are marketed. Eggs from
geese under two years old do not hatch
well.-Faran, Field and Stscknaaz.
