TERRIBLY TORTURED.
A Barbaric Treatment Of Prisoners.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 20.-Advices
received here from Alaska via British
Columbia, report the arrest of Yato
Hok, chief of the Takon Indians, for
murder. From the evidence it ap-
pears that woman had gathered GER
tain herbs and administered them to
a wife of chief, from the effects of
which she died. After the death of
the chiefs wife, Yato Hok gave or
ders that the woman should be put
20 death, and accordingly a system of
torture was inaugurated by heating
stones red hot and placing them IN
her mouth. When life was almost
extinct he had her hanged. He also
gave orders to have her husband
hanged, and when the latter
was suspended IN the air he
managed to get his hands in
the moose and thereby prevent
strangulation. While in this posi-
tion the chief cut his hand with
knife, but failed to make him re-
move his grasp. Other Indians in
terfered and the poor fellow was
freed. The evidence was very con-
elusive, but upon further investiga-
ton the fact was brought ont that
this all occurred in British Columbia
and the prisoner was discharged with
severe reprimand. The authorities
here maintain that evidence was suf-
fcient to secure conviction. The
Alaska authorities should have held
the prisoner in custody pending an
application from the dominion gov
ernment for his extradition, which
courtesy they state would have been
extended to the United States au-
thorities under similar circumstances

SENATOR CooKRELL, of Missouri,

SENATOR CooKRELL, of Missouri,
recently gave expression to an opin-
ion in the senate that is considered
unjust. The cause was bill to pay
two men for a patent device for the
use of the government, which had
been perfected while these two claim
ants were in the employ of the gov
ernment. Mr.. Cockren opposed the
bill, and maintained that when per-
son in the employ Of the government
invents useful device, it should be-
long to the government. If Mr.. Cock
rell's idea ever becomes a law, there
will be large falling off on the num-
ber of inventions made by govern
ment employees. What would be
thought of a railroad company that
attempted to claim an invention made
by one of its employees as its own.

ACoRoNER's jury at Mcleod, in the
Canadian northwest, has brought in a
curious verdict to the effect that an
Indian woman who had suddenly died
had come to her death "either from
eating sour beans or drinking some
fluid from a bottle given to her by
constable Simons." 1t appears that
the fluid in the bottle was iodine, and
constable Simons has been arrested
but it still remains to be determined
whether death was caused by the
fluid or the beans.

Helpine Baby to Walk.

The age at which babies begin the wide
based waddle, which they believe to repre-
sent walking, varies somewhat. 1t is not an
,unheard Of thing for them to struggle TO the
feet as early as eight months old. Nor is IL
unusual to prolong the creeping stage far be-
yond the twelve months age When a baby
insists on walking before ten or eleven
months it is a sign that it is n strong and
active child. When it delays until eighteen
months, the reverse is indicated: there is
surely some weakness that prevents it. Not
outstanding these facts it is a mistake to
teach child to walk Whatever the Oar
winan theory about how we came to assume
the upright position. our children are ito the
manner born" and will take it as soon as ma
ture lets them.
One thing only is a legitimate help, and
that is putting the child Oh the floor as soon
as possible for it to roll and kick for itself
The floor should be thoroughly protected
from draughts, and q warm rug or puff
placed under the baby. Then give him his
fling, in company with a flew rubber toys,
and it will soon be found that the rug is too
small for him. He becomes more enterpris-
ing, and manages to get off by rolling, ''hltch-
ing and scrambling. This sort of exercise is
perfectly natural to healthy child, and
helps TO develop the soft legs and feet, ana to
digest and assimilate food. Besides that, the
moral effect is ~ give the child a sort of self
reliance Those who ''hold the baby too
long cheat him of just so much of his little
experience Let him scramble and waliow,
regardless of hopping up the dust or getting
grimy; or, if YOU cannot bear to see him
dirty, make him ''creeper' of dark stuff, to
be slipped off and on at pleasure. Soon, he
reaches up, as ell growing things do, OF
should, and finds something above him TO
grasp; then pulls himself up and stands on
lis feet. The next stage is walking, by hold
ing on to chairs, t.- wall, skirts of dresses
and other intimate friends. After that, III
time, he walks. Babies come to all this as
naturally as they cry when hungry, but
should never be forced or coaxed for the
amusement of their elders. -Phiadelphia

There is always danger of poison in the

Never have drawing room so filed with

open to the outer light will stand gloomy

Never hang picture from one nail Aside
