INDIAN ATTACKS.

An Amusing Instance of How They Some
times Arrive When Least Expected.
Soldiers advancing against Indians often
march for days without seeing red man;
but the veterans know that If the Indians
want to find them they will be heard from
when least expected. A story told in WAR
path and Biyouac" illustrates how sudden
ly Indians announce their presence.
General Crooks command was camped on
Crazy Woman's Fork, and not an Indian
had disturbed them for several nights. 1t
was yery cold. and all were impatient for
some sort of excitement. One night some
officer said, "Let US go up to Bourke's S tent,
and they all went.
The Lieutenant, a member Of Crooks staff,
was found studying military map by the
light of candle.
"Hello, Bourkep' said one Of the visitors.
"Aren't you afraid the Indians will venti-
late your tent, if you keep that light burn
ing?'
"Oh, no." replied Bourke. "The Indians
that have been firing into us are small
flying party. You may rely on it that you
won't hear anything more from them this
great from their villages and the weather is
too cold. Mr.. Indian doesn't care to be
frozen. Now I'll show you on this map the
point where they will most likely make their
first real at"
Whizzl popi bangi zipi came volley
from the bluffs above the camp. A bullet
struck the candle and put it out. Another
made a large-sized hole in the map. The
officers scattered, and Bourke was lett alone
to mediate on the instability of Indian
character.

The Theory Upon Which it Operates. and the
Microbes Which Are Introduced.
The English illustrated Magazlne.l
The most familiar form of protective in
oculation is ordinary vaccination. in which
a comparatively small number of the
microbes are introduced into the system
there to multiply abundantly and to effect
some change, possibly to remove some nee
essary food material. so that the system
will no longer favor the growth of
the same organism if it subsequently
gain access. The system thus becomes pro-
tected by having supported a crop of
organisms and is incapable of maintaining
a second, immunity from the particular dis
ease being thus secured for a longer or
shorter period of time in the future 1t has,
however, been found that protection may be
secured in the case of some diseases without
inoculating the living organism at all, but
by introducing only a certain quantity of
its products on successive occasions and in
increasing quantities. In this case the pro-
lection obviously depends upon accustom-
ing the system to the particular poison,
come accustomed to taking doses of ar
senic or opium which would prove immedi-
ately fatal to ordinary people Consider
ations OF this kind have led Pasteur to de-
wise the systems of preventive incubation
for anthrax, for chicken colera, and more
recently for the terrible hydrophobia, which
is doubtless disease produced by microbes,
although as vet undiscovered.

Their Present Condition and Pursuits, To-
gether With Their Appearan...
West Shore.l
Spokane Falls has sprung up so recently
that some of the evidences of aboriginal
glory still linger in its vicinity. The CANYON
of the Spokane river below the city is a
favorite haunt of the wandering red skins,
who are stragglers from some of the reserva-
tions, and during the salmon season, which
lasts nearly all the summer there, the clus-
ters of tepees are familiar sight along the
banks of the stream. The Couer d'Alene
reservation is only 20 miles up the river
from Spokane. The Colvilie and Moses re-
serves are considerable greater distance to
the northwest. These Indians, of course, are
entirely subdued and are as harmless as
cattle, as they mdke quietly about from place
to place and pursue their fishing and hunt
ing in a modest way between the dates of re-
ceiving their supplies from the kind-hearted
Government.
Harmless as these struggling Indians are,
they often indulge in the luxury of painting
and decorating their persons IN true savage
style. Gaily decked young bucks often ride
through the streets of Spokane Falls on
their cayuses, two or three together. and are
objects of much curiosity on the part of new
comers, but are not noticed by residents of
the city. The old sachems strutting through
the streets. arrayed in holiday attire, are
objects of no less interest, and are a great
deal more ridiculous.

He turned to ask Zeierle; but the dwarf

TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH \

There was one time little peasant boy,
called Hans, who every day went into the
forest to catch singing birds, which he car
ried to the city and sold Tor whatever price
he could get for them, and the small amount
OF money he received was given toward
paying the rent of their humble home, or to
buy food and clothes for his younger sister.
1t was always a great grief to Hans that his
dear, kind mother must work so hard to
provide Tor her children, and often while
setting his snares in the forest, the boy would
think: "If my father had only lived, or L
was able to earn money for mother and
sister, how happy we would be-"
One morning when Hans had gone on his
usual errand into the forest, TO his great de-
light he found enIangled in one Of his nets
a nightingale, for which he knew that he
would receive a good price. and already
visions of the purchases he would make
were floating through his mind, when In a
sweet, plaintive voice, the bird cried:
please set me free. In nv nest, in yonder
tree, are three young birds watching Tor
me to bring them food, and it do not re-
turn they must die of hunger. Set me free
and shall tell you how you may become
rich and have plenty of money"
Hans at once released the nightingale,
and whenit had flown to a low bush near by
snd warbled a song of thanks, 1t said:

LANTERN SYMBOLS OF RANK.

A Strange Old Custom Still Prevailing in
Parts of Germany.
The distinctions of rank which exist In
European countries give rise to many
troubles which, though they may seem
rather amusing as we'll as trivial to u.s. are
in reality quite serious to the persons con-
cerned in them, says Youths Companion.
In Stuttgart, years ago, there existed a
curious custom which is not yet entirely
abolished, and, in fact, still fourishes
quite vigorously in some parts of
Germany and Switzerland. This was the
use of lanterns of different varieties
and sizes by which, at night, the rank of the
party could be easily distinguished. The
lanterns were carried by the servants who
were sent to escort their mistresses home
from places of amusement, and they made
the square in trout of the Royal Opera
House, where most of the entertainments
were then given, quite picturesque, with
their lights bobbing up and down in every
direction.
The differences between some of these
lanterns were slight, but they had to be
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order of rank, as set forth in the Crank
list" was something from which they could
never swerve. Some had lanterns of tin,
some of brass; some had wax lights, and
others tailow; even the number of lights was
prescribed for each separate class or rank.

jewelers. Weekly.l
The worlds stock of diamonds has in
creased enormously in the last 15 years. In
1876 the output of the African mines was
15OO,o 900 carats. last year it was nearly
1000, 900 carats, and the syndicate which
controls all the principal mines asserts that
it has 16, 600, 900 carats in sigh. Meantime
the demand for diamonds has greatly in
creased. and they are higher in price than
they were year ago.
In one respect the diamond industry is
different from almost all others. Its prod
uct is never consumed. OF gold and silver
q much larger amount than most people
would believe is literally consumed in the
arts past recovery, but diamond once cut
goes into the worlds great stock and is liza
Bile to come upon the market at any time.
The worlds annual purchase of diamonds,
which appears to be steadily increasing,
even at advanced prices, is an index to the
amount OF its surplus earnings it can afford
to eIpend in luxury.

EMBALMING BY ELECTRICITY.
A Paris Scientist Who Gives the Corpse q
Coating of Metal.

A Paris Scientist Who Gives the Corpse q
Coating of Metal.
A new and startling way of embalming the
dead has just been discovered In Paris, says
the New York Tribune, by young doctor
OF the name ofNariot. Up to this day it
had never been found possible permanently
to preserve corpses in shape which did not
make them look objects of horror. Even
the mummies the Pharaohs, in the prepara-
tion of which the best materials had been
used and the most skilled enbalmers en-
ployed, are far from pleasing to the eye.
To attain this aim, the young scientist
immerse the corpse in a chemical bath con-
tanning metallic salts. An electric current
is then applied, and the subject becomes en-
cased in q hard and resisting crust of metal,
which adheres SO closely to the form that IT
shows the slightest wrinkle, in the same
manner as an unretouched photograph. This
process is called "Anthropoplasty." At
the present moment the doctor has in his
laboratory 'metallized' baby, which is
truly masterpiece OF art applied to nature.
The infant, encased in purest silver, seems
sunk in the deepest and calmest sleep, the
little hands folded, the tiny feet in a nat
ural position. presenting tout-ensemble re-
minding one of Murillo's cherubs.

How She Deceived a French Editor and
Got a Lot of Advertising.
Sara Bernhardt has been known to beat
the shrewdest editors out of free advertise
ment. A good story comes from Paris. The
news was somehow spread about that the
divine Sara had become insane. No, said
Messieurs, the journalists and dramatic
critics, you have deceived US too often; this
time we positively refuse to believe one syi-
liable. The editor of the Figaro, was espe-
cially firm in his position. By the great
gods he had sworn, and he would stand by
his oath. that Bernhardt's name should
never again appear In types which he con-
trolled. But private information came to
him from sources deemed incorruptiole,
and he was brought to call on Bernhardt to
see with his own eyes.
In her boudoir, with lights turned down,
she kept him waiting, and then bounced
into the apartment like one of her own
tiger cats and leaned against the mantel,
her hair disheveled, face haggard, features
blank and unintelligent, fingers trembling.
Her complexion was CHASTITY, her eyes wan
dering. Not a word did she answer to his
questions, but mumbled to herself in under
tones. After little she dropped to the
floor and lay staring into the fire, babbling.
The editor was convinced. Next day he
came out with lamentation; great light
had gone out; Bernhardt had had her faults,
but it would be long ere they looked on her
like again.
This was the moment for which Bernhardt
had been waiting. In two hours a card
from her was in every newspaper office in
the city; she was not insane, she could not
imagine how much a canard had started,
her head had never been clearer, as she
hoped to convince the public by her pro-
duction o., in which she should open
the week following.

STRANGE TELEPHONE WIRE.

Remarkable Results Obtained by Prof. Bell
From Disks of Selenium.
Youths Companion.1
Whether we shall ever be able to see our
friends at distance, as we now talk with
them, is something for the science of
the future to determine; but if we ever do
so, it will doubtless be through the mysteri-
Gus connection between light, electricity
and the element selenium.
Selenium belongs to what is known as the
sulphur group of elements. It is remark
able for the wonderful property BY which
its electrical conductivity varies according
to the amount of light falling upon it, just
as the chemical relations Of silver are altered
by the same means.
By this singular property of selenium
Prot. Bell was enabled to construct an
optical telephone, and actually transmitted
words and sentences between two distant
points which were not connected in any way
except by beam of light, which faithfully
carried the vibrations of his voice to
seleDium disk, by which they were trans
formed into electric energy, and reproduced
in an ordinary telephone.

A GRAMMATICAL DILEMMA.

Verbal Problem.

How a Tailor Avoided an Embarrassing
Verbal Problem.
Youths Companion.l
The difficulty which attacks the person
who wishes to form the plural of some word
for which the grammar and dictionary seem
to have provided no rule, is quite serious. A
tailor in country town was accustomed to
make occasional pilgrimages to the nearest
city to obtain his goods. and he never re-
sorted to writing unless in case of dire
necessity and haste.
At one time, however, he was in need OF
two of the articles called ''a tailor's goose" !"
and was unable to leave home. So in great
distress he began to compose his note, which
speedily presented difficulty beyond the
usual one of spelling the words properly, in
the shape of the unmanageable plural.
Should he saw geese or gooses? At last
brilliant idea occurred to him, and he sent
off the following note:
DEAR SIR-Please send me at once tailor's
goose, and oblige yours respectfully,
A. BROWN.
P. S.-Send me another.

EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN.

They Have Eighty Disturbances in Twenty
Six Days and Get Used to Them.
Japan is scarcely the country for nervous
and timid people, judging from an official
report just issued by the japanese Govern
ment. During last April there were no less
than so earthquake disturbances felt on 26
days. The day on which the largest num-
Der occurred was the 18th, when there were
II distinct oscillations, though the most
serious disturbance occurred on the 10th,
when its effects were felt in no less than 20
provinces.
None OF the shocks, however, were of
destructive character, the worst effects
produced being cracks in the ground, the
displacement of doors aud screens, the
overturning of small articles on shelves,
and the stoppage of clocks. The people OF
Japan are said to have become accustomed,
owing to their frequency, to these seismic
disturbances. but however much accus-
toned they may be they can scarcely feel
secure when their land is in such
perpetual state of internal commotion.

time in your fixing" tray.
Everything now being in readiness, take
your trimmed prints and wash them in sew
eral changes OF water until tie water no
longer has a milky appearance. Then I'M
therse the prints, face down, in the tonlng
bath, one by one, taking care that no air
bubbles remain under the prints. Gradu-
ally reverse the prints in the bath until the
white objects are perfectly clear and the
print takes on a purplish hue. 1t is here
that the operators judgment is called into
play. He will soon get to learn by practice
when print is properly toned. Ordinarily
about ten minutes is sufficient time for the
process. II the print is not toned deep
enough it viii fade to dirty brown in the
fixing bath; it toned too deep it will turn
slate color.
After toning, wash the prints again in
clean water and then place them iu the fix
ing bath, leaving them in it for 20 minutes.
This bath fades the print to marked ex-
tent and makes it permanent. Therefore it
IS thatrthe picture must be printed consid-
erably darker in the first place.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES.
When the prints are removed from the
fixing bath, they need long and thorough
washing, exactly the same as negatives anu
for the same purpose-to remove all traces of
"hYpo." Running water here again comes
into play. The prints should be thus washed
for i've or six hours. Ii running water is
not to be had, change the water as often as
practicable, say five or six times. The prints
may then be dried by laying them between
blotting papers. Avoid white blotting paper,
as it is often bleached with hyposulphite of
soda. Use the buf-colored treasury blotter
if possible.
There are as many formula for toning
baths as there are days in the month. but the
one suggested above is the most popular with
professionals, as we'll as with expert ANA
teurs. W. o. ESCHwEGE.

PLANTS IN ROOM.
The Belief That They Are Injurious to the
General Health.

The Belief That They Are Injurious to the
General Health.
There Is widespread belief that the pres
ence of growing plants and cut flowers in
rooms is in some way prejudicial to those
who sleep therein. This belief is probably
due to the fact. learned atschool, that plants
give off at night carbonic acid, and the
knowledge that this gas is irrespirable. A
writer in Amateur Gardening has recently
published the results of some expert
ments made in closed greenhouse. showing
how fanciful are these fears.
In this greenhouse there were g. 900 grow
ing plants, and the average OF three expert
ments made early on three different morn
ings alter the place had been closed for more
than IL hours, exhibited only 403 parts of
carbonic scid per 10000. We can judge by
this experiment that from one or two plants
the quantity OF gas given off must be lar too
small for recognition, and certainly many
hundred times less than that formed by
burning taper, or given off by one pair of
lungs.
