SITTING BULL, the Sioux Indian chief
,ecently killed, was one of the last of
the great Indian leaders who have come
20 the surface of affairs since the close
VI the civil war. With his cotempo-
Iarles' ID Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Black
Nettle and Joseph, he has served to re-
I.lnd the country, in some slight degree
at least, of Logan, Pontiac and Tecum-
sen the red potentates who figured in
our earlier annals. Perhaps, if the
enoice had been permitted him, he
"ould have selected the form of death
men he has met. At all events these
vas an element of fitness in the manner
as well as the time of his taking off.

THERE are 80, 900 pension attorneys in
the United States, and their profits ag
gregate over 81, 900, 900 per year. That
is to say, they live by contributions ex-
acted from the crippled and dependent
soldiers of the country, and the money
voted by Congress as sacred charity is
diverted from its legitimate purposes to
the extent of the fees that they receive.

Fried Foods.

When any kind of food is fried in
grease at temperature which permits
it to become soddened with fat, it is al
most impossible of digestion. The lit
tie food particles are encased so that
the gastric juice can not reach them to
do its work, since it does not act at all
upon the fats. Stomach digestion is
then either very imperfect or wholly
wanting, and extra work is imposed
upon the digestive fluids further on
the pancreatic juice and the bile. Foods
fried in very hot fat may have the in
side protected and so little upon the
outside that it will not soil a napkin
and unless the Drowned portion is en-
tirely removed, it will be hindrance
to digestion. There is further obiec-
ton in that if fat is allowed TO become

THE extravagant offers of the cattle
