Meath the Turkeys Foot.

There is clinging to some of 1.-THE early
settlers of Hendricks and Morgan
counties an impression that buried be-
meath a huge stone somewhere in the
fertile valley of White Lick creek there
are valuable treasures. The story is
that when the Delaware indians were
forced to yacate their hunting grounds
along the creek they believed they were
to be sent from their lands temporarily,
and rather than risk CARRYING their
wealth into a strange country they
buried it under Il huge rock until they
returned. The rock was marked with
a turkeys foot carved in the stone pro-
jecting above the earth.
Early settlers along the stream say
that several years after the tribe had
vacated the lands II lone Indian came
through the country iii search OF Il
treasure which he said had been buried
under a stone. lie disappeared as
mysteriously rs he came, but he left
behind him that tradition that remains
with some people to this day.
Following the disappearance of the
Indians the settlers began to search for
the treasure. Then it was found that
tnefe were plenty OF huge stones
marked with turkey tracks" it SEEM
ingly having been Il favor tie pastime
Of the red man to carve out the imprint
of turkeys feet upon all the great
stones along the stream. Notwith-
standing this obstacle, many farmers
exctyated beneath huge stones, and
Were disappointed at not being re-
warded for their labor. 1t is doubtful
if there is a great stone within three
miles OF the creek that has not been
purrowcd under in search of the treas
ure. As late as ten years ago the story
OF the treasure was revived along the
stream, and rocks that had never been
disturbed were burrowed under.

Substitute for Coffee.

4 new substitute for coffee NAV turn
up in Il berry known rs "gaertnera."
The British consul ut Reunion SAYS that
III one time he has received many let
terS from merchants in England asking
for information respecting shrub then
called ''mussacnda." the discovery of
which, it has been said in some com
E1ercial Journals, would deal severe
blow 10 the coffee and chicory trade.
About two years ago rumor WAS
spread that the berry OF this shrub
could be ady;,htagcously employed as
a substitute for coffee and chic0ry. 1t
grows TO about tea feet high, has very
few ieaves and It's branches are wide
apart. The berries do not grow all
along the branches. as is the case with
coffee, but in punches at their extreme
ties. At present it is only met with in
the mountains. where it grows wild. 1t
might be produced on an extensive
scale; bat with its inferiority in fra
GRANGE and color it could hardly COM
pete with coffee.

TYPHOID FEVER GERMS,
Late Experiments Show rho Disease May be

Late Experiments Show rho Disease May be
Contracted Through the Lungs.
New York Herald.l
Psychological research has demonstrated
that typhoid fever germs may be carried in
the air as we'll as in water. Mr. Frederic
Bordas has discovered, however, that the
bacillus is destroyed in an atmosphere that
is dry and completely deprived of its aque-
GUS vapor, but that it continues to live and
develop in an atmosphere that is more or
less charged with moisture. This last fact
is very important one, as it accounts for q
number of peculiarities that had hitherto
remained unexplained, such as the greater
frequency of typhoid fever during the damp
months of October and November, and the
customary outbreaks of epidemics precisely
at that period of the year.
The experiments of Mr.. Bordas lead US to
believe, as well, that the microbe of typhoid
fever is endowed with certain force of>re-
sistance to exterior influences, and, further
more, that it in all probability retains for a
long time the pathogenic power peculiar to
it, as periods of prolonged drought, which
would probably cause its destruction, are
relatively rare. The latter hypothesis agrees
completely with the knowledge we have of
the vital resistance of germs.
Finally, there is nothing to prevent our
accepting the idea of the possibility OF direct
penetration of the bacillus into the tissue of
the lungs by means of the respiratory tract
To say the least, the idea seems extremely
probable, as psychological analyses have
demonstrated the presence of the bacillus in
the dust of hospital wards.

A GRATEFUL LEGISLATOR.

He Finds One individual Wbs Doesn't
Think He Needs Watching.
New York star.I
1t is related Of one Of the most rugged Of
the rural Empire State Senators that he was
in New York City on Saturday with his
wife, shopping. He did not like the bust
ness, and he stood outside on the sidewalk
while his spouse leisurely turned over all
sorts of wares in one of the biggest drygoods
stores. As usual, she fingered, and he
grew more and more impatient and angry.
He walked up and down in front of the
store, and began to swear to himself.
Presently stalwart policeman laid his
hand on his shoulder. "See here, my man"
said the officer, "you'd better move on.
I've got my eve on you"
"What for?" asked the Senator.
Don't handy any questions" said the
officer. "You are suspicious character;
that's enough"
'I?" cried the Senator in amazement. "I?
Why, lam Senator - of- county, and
here are my credentials" and he pulled out
a bunch of letters and pass es with his name
on them. Sand my wife is in there shop
ping, and am waiting for her"
The officer saw at once that he was wrong,
and was further convinced when the Sena-
tors wife came out and addressed him BY
name.
II see that was mistaken" said the
officer in apology, "and hope you will ex-
cuse me. did not know you, or OF course
I would not have applied such an epithet to
you"
"You think am not q suspicious char
acter?"
Certainly not"
"I'm glad of it." said the Senator, with .
burst of gratitude. That's the first tribute
to my honesty that I've got since I entered
the Legislature six years ago."

is completely lined with the finest matched
ostrich tips that the Paris cloakmaker could
get by ordering them direct from the
ostrich farms. AS the girl, who is dark as
Cleopatra, opens it to throw it aside one
draws the. breath at the poetic effect.
Older ladies as rule wear shorter cloaks
of the visite style, although Mrs. Stephen
j. Field, who is an authority on dress, has a
dark blue velvet trimmed with long-haired
white fur that reaches to the floor. Mrs.
Harrison has handsome short cloak which
she usually keeps on when at the theater.
1t is of white embossed velvet trimmed with
white marabout feathers. AS she sat In the
box with the family of Secretary Noble one
night she looked positively superb, for the
wrap was thrown back ana her iron-gray
hair was dressed very high and slightly
powdered. Right opposite her in a box
with the Blaines was Mrs. Morton in short
wrap of blue and gray cloth lined with pale
pink silk.
Senator Stewart has an overcoat which
half the women at the capital are dying to
have to line cloak. 1t is of the fur of the
polar bear and reaches to his heels, making
him look with his white beard like Santa

INGR0WING TOE NAILS,
A Cure Tint Is Simple but Not Very Pleas.
ing to Think Of

A Cure Thnt is Simple but Not Very Pleas.
ing to Think OF.
New York Herald.l
DR.. Hoffman, of Munich, has recently
published process of treating ingrowing
nails which has at least the merit of being a
simple one. The process is cauterizing the
spot with perchloride of iron. At the same
time the edge of the nail should be raised a
little and fixed in that position until dry
scab is formed. As soon as this result has
been obtained-that is to say, in two or
three days, or even sooner, when the wound
is destined to suppurate eventually, an at
tempt should be made to remove with a
forceps the scab which has been formed at
the point where the cauterization was ap-
piled, to lay bare the granulating surface
underneath.
The hemorrhage which is caused by this
manipulation is checked by means of
fresh application of perchloride of iron.
After three or four days the scab should
again be removed, and so ON time
after time until the lump formed
by the flesh at the point of the
ingrowing nail has been entirely destroyed.
On the other hand at the second or third
day OF this treatment the edge of the dis
eased nail, which the perchloride of iron
has reduced to very brittle state, can be
removed without pain with SMALL pair of
scissors or with dull knife. To avoid all
recurrence it will be we'll to place small
pieces OF cork beneath the fold of skin which
covers the side of the nail.

United States make) have a queer little
winding stairway leading from the rear
platform to the top, where two seats, placed
back to back, extend from end to end. The
outside fare is second-class in price, and no

standing could be induced to avail himself
