Ked.headed and White Indians.

At Corabay, Bolivia, there is an In
dian tribe with brown, blonde and !
even red hair among its members
whether from some freak of nature or
on account of the sociability of lighter
colored neighbors, nobody seems to
know. They have medicos who
practice with equal success as the
Charisonis. When one of them comes
to visit patient he first looks all
around to see what article strikes his
fancy, that he may levy on for pay
ment.
Having settled that question and
secured his fee in advance, he shakes
the sick man by each foot, repeats a
solemn incarnation while having his
hands in the air, and then departs with
such knowing air that the faith cure

woman who declares that her hus-
bands life was saved by one of these
doctors, his heart having somehow
slipped over to the wrong side and be-
ing charmed back into place by the in-
cantation.
There is a tradition of some white
Indians, with flowing boards and fair
! hair. who are said to inhabit a portion
of the almost unknown montana, and
hunters may be found who declare that
they have caught glimpscs of these
mysterious people, men and women,
entirely naked, in the depths of the
forest. There are other Indians living
i'm the sierras around La Paz who have
remarkably smooth and delicate skins,
which they keep well oiled and shining
like satin.
The men pride themselves on having
no more beard than the women, and
every superhuous hair is carefully re-
moved. As all wear their coiiIureS

over the forehead, it is impossible tc

Loves Coming.

Love came TO me in life SO late
That Time had closed the outer gate
So late If seemed the door was barred,
Bolts shot and all the house rough scarreu
That owned nv habitation gave no sign
OF welcome to the God benign,
For Love with all his power divine
Had come so late.
Itseemed that none would ever come
In answer TO his knock, though some
Sweet thought stirred restless in my breast
Uneasy walked from its long rest,
So strange were such fair visitors that when
Love came and called, and called again,
1t was at first in vain, for then
It seemed so late.
No chamber had my soul prepared
Against his coming none had dared
Foretei mis- advent; il did seem
More ola sweet, unstable dream
Before his summons, sweet aud clear, rang
out
Waking the drowsylidded rout
OF fancies. passon-sweet, his shout
Seemed all too late.
No rich feast had been spread for him;
All the guest-chamber lights burned dim,
For few had come that way to claim
A resting place-e'en tickle fame
Had fled long, long before Love came
And yet the close gate opened wide
At his approach; bolts shot aside;
All the bright soul lights famed, and loud
Rang out the welcome of the crowd.
My sours best minstrelsy did welcome him
Bright grew my dimmest, darkest cream, +
For after all it did not seem =
Love came too late.

Hay Baths.

Water, steam, sand, air and sun
baths we are all familiar with; but
hay baths are speciality in the Tyrol,
though they have not yet been adopted
elsewhere. Among baths they are so
peculiar that they are worthy OF men
ton. The peasants are very fond OF
taking hay baths, and those which are
the most desirable are of the newly
mown short mountain-hay, which
must be still "baking" So popular
are they and so simple, that upon
many of the Alpine heights there are
small huts belonging TO the mountain
GERS. which they have built especially
for the purpose. The bather having
completely divestcd himself of his
clothing, lies down in nest of the
hav, and an attendant covers him with
hay to the neck. Someone must be on
the watch during the hay bath, which
many invalids take to restore failure
of the bodily functions, notably that
of the heart.
When the patient has copiously
perspired he is dug out" and dried

The Language of Animals.

Every one who has heard dog or a
horse welcome its master with excIa-
nations of joy, or a cat plaintlvely
mewing for its food, ought to believe
that animals can talk. The dog has
pain. JOY, sorrow, thanks and fear.
Birds have different songs and notes to
express their feelings. We recognize
tfeir songs of victory and of love, as
well as the notes of anger an fear.
1t is evident that these notes are un-
derstood, not only within the limits of
one species, but among other birds;
for different tribes often make com
mon cause of joy and battle. MONKEYS
express their passions, fears and de-
slres by various cries and gestures
Some of the most unciviizea
languages are but little richer than
theirs. Abbott tells US that crows
have twenty-seven distinct cries or
utterances. Many scientists believe
that certain sounds made by fishes are
for the purpose of expressing their
feelings. 1t is clear to the careful OBJ.

Average Length of Life Sentences.

Fifteen years is about the ayera@e era
lifetime sentence. Very few convicts,
though sentenced for life, serve more
than that period. They die or are
pardoned.
In the Missouri prison there are five
holiday pardons every year granted by
the Governor. One white and one
negro convict are pardoned on the
Fourth of July, and two white and
one negro convict on Christmas. The
long termers get the benefit of this
clemency. This l heartily endorse.

The Death of Animals.

But what makes the whales come on
shore when they feel i'll! Il looks
like suicide-and may be. III at beasts
and birds in the same way go aside
from their comrades to suffer the ex-
treme trial of death is pathetic fact
which is well known. Sometimes. no
doubt, their friends desert them.
They feel that the companionship of
an enfeebled individual is a possible
source of danger; or perhaps, instinct
teaches them thus to avoid the risk of
infection. Or, again, it may be that
sight Of death is intolerable to them.

up and kicked it, when it rose and
sprangg- fnrioggssI.Ss u Is> .t.awards him. He
now thought it was a bear, and made
good time for the fencc, where he got
a picket and returned to the attack.
The boy was accompanied by a pet
goat, and as he laid on the blows with
the picket the goat butted and hooked
the enemy, and they soon dispatched
it. The creature proved to be a BAG
ger, and weighed twenty-seven pounds
When the boy would strike the badger
it would spring at him, and then the
goat would receive the charge, butting
vigorously. The badgers claws were
over an inch long, and the lad, who
is only twelve years old, was fortu-

How Baby Wakes.

Through the drowsv dreamland maze
Peeps two rogush orbs of blue;
Wonderment is in their gaze
As they chance to rest on you;
Cherry lips begin to work
Aud you catch cherub smile,
Dimpled digits twitch aud jerk
As you pause to watch awhile.
Then troubled spirit wakes,
Fears the tender heart assail,
Ger the face storm cloud breaks
Aud ensues plaintIve wall;
Then brief, expectant look,
Struggling through the depth OF woe,
Plainly says: 81 will not brook
Any more delay, you know"
Now you raise her in your arms,
Pressing close the yielding form,
Captive to the many charms
Ot The nurseling soft and warm;
And you own the magic sway
OF the despot small and sweet,
Casting in reckless way
All your heart at baby's feet.

about half an hour, at the end of
which time they dispersed as mystic
riously as they had come, leaving as
evidence of tn il visit millions of
wings. The next day we had rcpe-
tition of the visit, and few days
since were treated to another of
smaller and different species called
travellers. These marched in at one
end of our shacks and out at the other,
though we were compelled to vacate
in their favor for the time being, as
they smarmed over everything. Their
stay, however, was short aud great
