for the 5000 Indians under his charge. Tie
Indians threatened to tie the farmer, carry
him off the reservation, and distribute the ra-
ti9ns themselves. Brenner, the farmer, heard
ofthis and sent word to the agent, who tel
e8raphed to Pembina asking that troops be
sent out from Fort Totten. Word was sent
to the war department and a detail was
made. No word has yet been received from
the reservation to show what trouble, if ahy,
resulted. The Chippewas and half-breeds ars
becoming very much dissatisfied because they
have not land enough. They have but
two sections in reservation which used to
consist Of o tract twenty -four by thirtv-two
miles. This was cut down by legislative or
der in 1852. Meantime halfbreeds from
Canada have been fiocking over since the
Rel rebellion until the number Of Indians
reaches 5000 at this time. The crowds are
SO great that the Indians have been crowded

Home Manners in Germany.

Many of the German home customs are charming, and German home manners are really beautiful. This comes largely from SO much affection being always manifest in the conduct of members of the family toward each other Loving tones mako pleasant music in a German home. The inmates in- variably prefix ''dear" to the Christian name when they address each other, and venera- tion that is truly lovely is shown to the aged members of the family. Many ways are as quaint as they arc charming. Every day, when the aged Frau Generalin at our house gives the signal for leaving the dinner table by rising and saying "Gesegnete mahlzeit' (blessed meal time), every one repeating it after her, I think it is : great pity that this poetical old German custom is tso they tell mel fast becoming obsolete. And after this, so poetical and patriarchal, it savers almost of the profane to write that one member oi the family frequently declares that, though he would as lief as not say "Gasegnete mahl zeito when we have had roast goose and pre- served cherries, he does hate to when there has been only sausage or veal-Hanove, Cor.

4 Ball at DeImonico's,

You must understand that the balls giver by ''soclety people, at Delmonico's are by no means public. It is true that 700 persons were gathered this time, but the sernblances of C. private mansion were carefully main, tained. The smaller rooms were furnished like parlors, and tho decorations of the en- tire big building from which ordinary GUS toners were excluded at midnight, even the bar room being sacred to the nights occu- pancy) werc such as might reasonably have been seen in Vanderbilt or an Astor resi- dence.
 Two monkeyish pages in livery met you at the portal and conducted you to the dressing room. Then, after you had laid aside your wraps, O third midget dunkey showed you the way to an anteroom, into the presence of q being before whom you instinctivcly felt like lowing down in humble reverence. He was six feet high by about three feet wide, and his coverings were many hues of velvet and silk. This was the genuine London butler. Nothing so fine had ever been brought to town since Anglomania began. The page took you up close enough to his awful form to permit you to realize what Q to mental giantry, his majestic bearing and bass voice were sufficient evidence.
 "What is the name2' he asked. "Mary Jane Smith," you replied, trying to hide your fright. Then he escorted you to the further end of the room, where stood three dignified matrons, Mrs. Adrian Iselin, Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting and Mrs. B. K. Stevens. These were the acting hostesses, in further. ance of the home idea of the ball,
 "Miss Mary Jane Smith and Mr. Johr Henry Jones'" roared the butler. You and your companion bowed to the three in a row matrons, who returned youl salutation-and thus you were "received.'

The Free Medical Dispensary.

The free dispensary system is, nine parts out of ten, an unmitigated nuisance. It is to every patron who resorts thither to avoid payment of reasonable fees, and it is downright robbery of those mem bers of the profession who are compelled to begin practice in the poorer quarters and the sparsely settled districts of great city. The patient who resorts to free dispensary, at- tracted by the name of some prominent phy- sician or surgeon, learns too late that the ''great man" is seldom seen in the clinic room: that he never comes except to use this 'sclinical material" as illustrations of his lect- ures, and that the bulk of the practice is left to the experimentation of students not yet physicians, or to the care of men just out of school who happen to have secured the favor of the 'great man." If the worthless char acter of the medical attendance at some of these places were generally known there would be fewer patients taking such risks, and self respect would be preserved, where now, ill many instances, the first step toward the almshouse is taken by patronizing free dispensary. Many of these are in no sense ''free," for charges are made for the medi- cines which more than cover the value of any real service that may be received from the students in charge.-W. B. Hazard,

GIRLS EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Varied Influences Which Increase Un-
 due Sensibility-Family Discipline.
 It is precisely in that natural aptitude for emotion, in that type of mind which is ex- quisitely sensitive to impressions and gen. erously swayed by sympathetic feeling, that one of the great dangers to the perfection of womanhood, physical and mental, may be said to reside Many and varied influences tend to increase this emotional excitability until it often becomes fixed habit Of mind; an undue sensibility of the supreme centers to emotional ideas is created, which can only be maintained at the expense of sound health of body and of mind First among these are certain home influences that are brought to bear upon a little girl from her earliest child hood, which foster in her self-consciousness and introspection.
 She Is generally permitted narrower limits, within which she can play, can dress, can succeed, than are allowed to her brother, even when her physique is equally able She is housed more closely, her out of door sports are fewer and less interesting, and her dress is too often a limitation to her freedom. Such restrictions of her liberty, and constant reference to the fact that her sex denies her this or that employment or pleasure, tend to make a child self-conscious and emotionally overactive Methods of family discipline WhCu ucpeIlu upOu dppcdlS Co euC SulOtlOudl natures of children have like unhealthy re- suits, for they promote condition of men, tai commotion and unrest harmful to chil- dren, who require an even atmosphere for the mind as well as for the body. There arc often undue claims made upon little children for the demonstration of their affections, and this is especially true of girls.
 In paper on Functional Prodigality Among Children" read before a dental so. ciety some years ago by Dr. C. F. Taylor, it was argued that stimulation of the emotions among children conduced not only to dis eases of the spine, but also to dental carries. Dr. Taylor says: "In my large practice among children. I am certain that scores are literally killed by the excessive amount of emotional excitement which they arc forced to endure. All this hugging and kissing and talking to them is to excite responses of the same emotional nature in the child for the pleasure and qualification of the parents and friends" And again he says: "I believe that three-dfths of the spinal diseases which oc- cur in children are directly traceable to men, tai overaction. And this because large proportion of these cases get well without other treatment than a withdrawal from the | exciting cause of emotional disturbance."- Dr. Mary T.
