CULTURB HAS SPOELED OHASKA.

CULTURE HAS SPOILED CHASKAs
Sam Chaska, whom Cora Belle Eel
lows married, is a changed Indian. He
keeps himself well dressed, and his as
ISOLATION with his former Indian friends
is not as cordial as when ne himself re-
iected the breech-cIoth and dined on
dog soup. Mrs. Chaska has indeed
made a wonderful change in her husband
since the day your correspondent visited
her at Swift Birds camp, one week after
her marriage The visit East, no doubt
had a great deal of influence in bring
ing about this transformation. Sam was
standing in front of the agency store,
putting a cigarette when he recognized
the correspondent, and he gave him one
of those automatic hand-shakes drilled
into him by the ten weeks engagement
In the dime museum. How! how!
glad to see you, he remarked, and
politely rendered a cigarette out of a
silver holder. Since the amalgamation
with the redskin Mrs. Chaska has been
snubbed by her former lady associates,
and she is compelled to bask only in the
rays of her husbands smiles and those
Of her relatives and friends, who squat
about her domicile by the hour waiting
patiently for a square meal. It is also
rumored that the handsome sum the
couple received for their starring en-
gagement has dwindled down to moth
ing, this report growing out Of the fact
that the lady borrowed $500 from an
agency emplOye, giving her note and a
mortgage on her horses and carriages.
It will be remembered that after fulfill
ing their engagement they visited all
the important cities of the East, calling
on President Cleveland and living in a
luxurious style. When they returned
to Cheyenne Agency a handsome car
rage with a spanking team purchased
in the East followed them, while hun
dreds of dollars were squandered in the
latest improved farming implements, all
Of which proved useless, as Sam was
not built right to become a horny
son of toll. Thus the couple again find
themselves in need Of funds, and as
Chaska cannot even earn a living for
himself his wife must now earn 1t for
herself, her babe and her tawny lord
and master.-St. Louis Globe-Denl-

4 Plea sOr Compulsory instruction.

The American girl is unhealthy.
Physical conditions governing her
prenatal life gave her an unfair start.
She inherited physical imperfections
in consequence of her parents COM
mOner transgressions against natures
laws combined with those pre-eminent1y
her mothers, the American woman's,
affecting her relations as wife and
mother; which it is not our purpose to
detail.
By indigestible food, tea and coffee,
rapid and irregular eating, drinking
during meals; school confinement,
avoidance of masculine" 90 outdoor
work and play, and breathing impure
air her stomach and lungs are disqual-
flied for their natural functions.
DisprOpOrtionate activity Of brain,
iniudiciOus reading and bathing, lack
of proper exercise, irregular attention
to natures calls, too tight clothing sup
ported by her hips-all these produce
headaches, nervousness, premature IN
dication of physical wOmanhood, and
many disOrdered sexual functions.
Late hours with the opposite sex, to
which she is early placed in wrong re-
lations, have evil physical effect.
She appears and feels healthier than
she IS
Assumption of marriage and mother
hood viii prove the undevelopemento of
internal organs, and she viii become,
ike her mother, Americas physical
apology for womanhoOd.
The physical condition Of the Ameri-
can girl is Of national interest.
She is disqualified TO transmit good
health, which Is essential to the highest
moral and intellectual attainment on
which the safety of a republic depends.
In seIf-interest our nation should de-
wise means for outdoor schooling Of
the body, demand fewer indoor school
hours for the brain, and make com
pulsory to girls scientific instruction as
TO the care Of their own bodies with
special view to fitting them for mother
hood.
Ignorance lies at the bottom Of dis
ease.
Timely education is the srrest cure.

Mrs. Potter might have played Cleo

sympathetically by a display Of the legs

TNPERE W4TER.

The growing popular knowledge Of
invisible impurities and the deepening
impression upon the minds of people,
the necessity of pure water supply,
have caused a demand for a simple
and convenient test AS yet there
is no certain and reliable test by
chemical analysis. The following tests
are recommended: Fill a perfectly
clean quart bottle half full of water,
cork and shake it 4; remove the cork and
see if any Odor can be detected at the
mouth Of the bottle. Cork the bottle
again and put into a warm place for a
few hours, or set into a pan of hot water
for an hour. Shake, uncork, and again
test by smell If an unpleasant or faint
or musty ordor is perceptible, the water
requires more minute Investigation.
The second simple test is to evaporate a
quart OF water to dryness IA new tim
pan or cup. and note the character Of

LYING on MEAL and WATER.

CDR. 7. r. Atkinson, says the Lon
don Hospital, "has been trying the ex-
pertinent of living on meal and water
for a month. His daily allowance is one
pound of whole meal, made into cake
with distilled water, and one quart of
water. His account of his condition
after week is cheering. In the first
few days he felt hungry, but about the
fourth day this disappeared, and he had
no longer any craving for other food
His brain was clear, his lung capacity
had increased FIVE inches, and both his
sight and his hearing had improved. He
had lost seven pounds weight, but
seems to regard this as rather an adj
vantage Altogether he feels thoroughly
satisfied with his experiment. 1t is a
very economical one, the wheat for
seven days having cost only eight pence.
This, he says. IS living on almost a
penny a day and enjoying it. :"

AEsss WhO Are -4fres5d to ascend tie WGss-
iIsgt0a Monument.
@Do the passengers who ride mp with
you ever become hightened?" asked a
reporter of the elevated conductor at the
Washington Monument.
Some do and some do not, was the
reply, as the cabIe-puIIer turned to ex-
plain to a lady in the car that the trip
upward occupied about nine minutes.
I'll tell you, he explained, turning to
the reporter. The first lady who be-
came frightened in the monument came
the other day. She was the first and
only one. We had hardly started from
the floor when she began to get nery-
Gus, and kept getting more and more
so, and finally asked me TO let her of.
OF course I could not 60 back, so I kept
on to the first landing, two or three
levels higher, and then opened the
door and let her out to the platform.
She was very nervous I did not want
to leave her there alone. so I called to a
nice looking young man who was walk
ing down and asked him if he would not
stay with her until L could get to the
top and send Waterman down to help
her. He said he would, and went on.
When the watchman went down he
could not find them; she had walked
back with the young man.
Here the conductor had to interrupt
himself to reassure a man huddIed away
back in the corner of the car that the
same elevator had carried tons and tons
of stone to the top Of the monument and
! had been pronounced perfectly safe by
all the authorities Then he resumed,
lowering his voice somewhat as he said:
con the other hand I have had to stop
at least twenty times for the benefit of
men who would not go any higher.
Why, I have seen great, big, strong
men, who looked as though they weren't
afraid of anything, get to trembling and
finally ask me to let them get off and
walk. Particularly fat men, too, with
a reminiscent chuclzle. Fat men are
afraid of their weight, particularly if
they are with large crowd. I can't ex-
plain why this should be, " he concluded,
just as the car emerged from the semi
darkness of the shaft into the winter,
brighter light of the top landing, "but
I must say that I've come to the con
cIusiOn that the women are not the cow
ards, after all, it's the men. If the &o-
men are they don't show it here. -

The Japan Herald gives some figures
to show how the Canadian Pacific
steamer line has cut out the San Fran
cisco lines, and it attributes this in a
great measure to the trouble given to
shippers by the necessity of consular
certificates, which Canada does not re-
quire. It is not due to any difference
in rates of freight, "as rates have all
along ruled pretty much alike. In
the season of 1887-88, up to the middle
of December, the shipments to Canada
by San Francisco steamers we're 1885,
l72 pounds, while the Canadian line
carried 3,773, 921 pounds. This season
up to the same date, the shipments via
San Francisco have been only 1876, 265
pounds, while 1888, 944 pounds have

RATHEB 4 SMART DOG, AFTER Ill.,
In California man borrowed a
squirrel dog of a friend and went gun
ming. The dog led him in various
directions until he was tired out and
sat down to rest. He launched many
anathemas at the animal as brute that
knew nothing about the business for
which he was recommended. The dog,
however, frisked about all the same.
Presently he began digging in the
ground In q very enthusiastic manner.
The disguised hunter paid very little
attention to this new dodge until he saw
the dog poking some dark object about
with his nose. Going to the spot the
hunter found that the dog had I'M
earthed an old leather purse. This
looked like game at last. Taking the
purse from the dog the hunter found
that it contained $500 in gold and ST. in
silver. On counting out the find the
hunter concluded that the dog was not
such a fool critter" after all.-Nelf
