The Georgians claim very early Christian

Christian emperors, when it Yves Roman

men, very fair, straight and slender. They
hate the Ar1nenians, call them thieves, etc.
They are themselves very improvident save
nothing, are heavily mortgaged to the Ar
rnenians, and hate them accordingly. have
seen nothing yet to justify the reputation of
the women for great beauty. A peep in

ton than nature has done. A dark eve and

beauty which a fully revealed face would not

the trade in girls for the Turkish harem, but

But after all does the thing really do harm.

INDIANS MEDICINAL LORE.


Mysterious Herbs by Which They Cure
Formidable Diseases In Mexico.
Without doubt men Of q money making:
turn might, with perseverance, acquire from
the Indians knowledge Of the mysterious
herbs with which they cure, radically, some
of those formidable diseases which battle the
greatest physicians Of the world From
Chiapes and Tabasco up to Sonora and Chi
huahua, the Indians make good use Of the
herbs Of the field and forest. The Indians
who live around the little hin called the
Pencil. near this city, can cure intermittent
feyers much more easily than our physicians.
and, in the state Of Queretaro, the Indians
have remedy, known only to themselves,
and the secret of which they most jealously
guard, which cures the worst forms Of blood
diseases, as many foreigners here cen testify.
So cunning are these Indians that they
employ, as l am told, medicine which has
the property Of paralyzing temporarily the
serse of taste, and thus their patients can
get no clew to the nature Of the herbs they
are taking. Malaria yields quickly to the
powerful remedies Of the Indians, and these
same rude practitioners will cure bad cases
of typhus fever. In the treatment Of the
smallpox the Indians are very successful,
placing their patients in dark rooms, but
permitting currents OF air to be continually
passing over the body of the patient, while
some herbal remedy is continually admins
tered. That the Indians of the country
towns and Of the little hamlets up in the
Sierras are healthy is plainly to be SEEN
They live often to an incredible age, and
say themselves that the white man is a siclly
fellow who has gray hair while their own is
still coal black.
A recent patient Of the Queretaro Indians
said the remedy administered to him by the
Indians seemed to take hold of him in every
part Of bis body, and that for twenty DAYS
he was kept covered up and sweating pro
fusely. 1t seemed to him that they were
getting his blood washed OUT and every
organ of his body cleansed. At the end Of
the prescribed time he was told that he was
cured, and so found himself beyond any
doubt Many of the herbs used by the In
dams are declared by them to be Of great
value owing to their scarcity, and it is GER
tain that they cherish them and will not
part with them for song. Even educated
physicians here employ remedies not known
in the United States. The hom9opaths use
the poison of certain venomous snakes and
the active principle OF poisonous native
plants. 1t is possible that science will yet
make good use Of the weed with which In
dian poisoners take away the wits Of their
enemies. A little of this powder in your
soup, and away goes your intellect and rea-
son. On the principle that like cures lke'
it may be that In this baleful weed there is
q remedy for some forms of insanity, for we
know very well that the treatment Of brain
trouble is in its infancy, so to say.-Mexico

But coming down to the detail Of the thing,
there is no sUrer way TO make child with
any tendency to untruthSulness cherish the
tendency than to let him know that you are
aware Of the tendency, and to let him know
it. most Of all. In any obnoxious way.
1t is possible that with child with
whom you have established confden-
tial intimacy, SO that he considers YOU
more as his dear friend than Us his cor
rector and overSee-, you can let such knowl-
edge of yours be known, and can become,
ngreeably to him, a fellow watcher with him.

frequent possibility, since children's inti-

same age with themselves, and it is rarely
that they Go not look up with q. little awe

may be, that is appointed to take caro- Of
their morals and behavior.
But there is one course that can always be
pursued, and that Is never to let the child
for moment dream that you suspect him
of the wrong doing or saying. Unless it
should be absolutely necessary, for some rea~
son better known to yourself, that you should
betray your knowledge. keep it to yourself
and maintain your wstchfulness, but let the

There are numerous ways to remove warts.
A good, simple and harmless way is said to
be the saturating of the wart with lemon

days or a week The wart will then disap-

mark. Another way is to use common wash

TROUBLE EON THE GRIPS.
The New Men on the Chicago Lines Break
the Cables

Much surprise and dissatisfaction was
expressed by the cable-car men of the
North Chicago Division when they re-
ported for duty on the 10th, and were
informed that the grip cars were there
after TO be run by new men. hired dur
ing the late strike. The old employees
were allowed to run the grip cars the
previous day, and they supposed
that they would continue to do
so. The new grip men are mostly
from Kansas City. By this arrangement
about 100 of the old men found them
selves with nothing to do. The super
intendent informed them that the new
men would continue to run the grips,
and that the old men who were dis
placed would be distributed among the
various horse car lines. The grip cars
were guarded by police, but no violence
was offered to the new men.
The inexperience of the new grip men
resulted in the cables being broken in
several places. Twenty ears were stalled
in the La Sale Street tunnel, and Just
when traffic is usually heaviest. 4 riot
occurred at North Avenue and HaIsted
Street. Two horse cars driven by new
men were showered with rocks and
nearly demolished by the angry crowds
on the sidewalks. Only the arrival of a
patrol wagon saved the imported car
men from being stoned to death within
the cars, where they had taken refuge.
Quite a numDer OF passe ngers were hurt
by tlving missiles before escaping from
proximity TO the hated new men.
