FOXY OLD SITTING BULL.
How He Plays tn. Rois or Prophet and
Practices Uypnotism.

Many and wierd are the tales told
about Sitting Bull, but the most un-
canny warns of all are those that have
been related of him since the red men
have been looking for IN Indian
Messiah. 1t was not until the craze
had become widespread that Sitting
Bull began to convert it To his own
use, but since then he has been work
ing il Ar its total value. The cunning
old ro.'ue WAS not SO fOolhardy as 10
attempt the role of the Messiah. bnt
has found it more convenient and just
as much 10 his purpose to play the
part OF prophet. He tells long aud
rather pretty story of having been inn
PEELED hy some strange influence, while
wandering in the woods one night, 10
follow star which was moving west
ward through the sky. All night the
Star guided him. and in the morning
lie came upon the Messiah clad in II
white robe. He had long waving hair
and beard. and manifested desire to
speak to Sitting Bull.
Then follows the familiar story OF
the promised return of the buffalo and
the restoration of dead Indians TO life.
But tho manner in which Sitting Bull
makes converts and maintains his in
fluence il the remarkable part Of the
whole affair. says the Minneapolis
Tribune. A Carlisle boy---educated
and telligent--testlies that when he
approached Sitting Bull the latter be-
gan singing and incidentally seized
him by the left foot. He felt as if u
charge of electricity had been passed
through his system and all the lights
shone blue or purple. Sitting Bull
then blew upon the crown Of his head
and he became cold. lie asked the
Young man TO put his arms about him.
hut no Was unable TO move them.
Dozens of other instances Of the big
chiefs mesmeric or hypnotic power are
cited. and he has employed it freely
and with convincing effect among his
people.
Sitting Bull has evidently been read
ing the Scriptures or listening to the
missionaries quite attentively, as his
story of being led by star is evident
" plagiarized from the Biblical account
of the star Of Bethlehem. That he is
also a newspaper reader. or in some
other manner keeps up with the fads
of the times, is evidenced by his experi-
mcnts in hypnotism. II he and his peo-
pie were not so hcmmed in by civil
ization and so directly under the eye
of the Government there is no telling
what mischief nc might do. AS it is,
his capers in the role OF prophet have
been merely amusing.

How to Preserve the Voice.

How to preserve the voice and keep

ing how to keep from growing old.
Some people grow faster than others

ACCORDING TO Judge Thayer OF the

worlingmen to come to America by

violate the contract labor law, but
would do so should he write to them

EXPERIMENTS recently made in Ger
many have added convincing evidence
to fact already noted, TO wit, the
variability of terrestrial ATTITUDES, for
example, the ATTITUDES of Berlin, Pots
dam and Prague, diminished between
August 1889, and February, 1890,
about half a second of arc. In the lat
ter year, between April and August,
the latitude of Berlin increased four
tenths of a second. In other words.
Berlin is nearer the North Pole IN sum
mer than in Winter. The periodicity
of these variations would indicate that
the direction OF the carth's axis, under
the influence OF some external or inter-
nal disturbance. was changing. Tho
phenomenon Is attracting very general
attention.

SOCIETY does not take its tone from
the tramp, but from those who refuse
him the victuals until he has sawed the
wood. And the tendency is to make
them think moro of their own advan-
tage in the matter OF stove-wood than
of the tramp's in the matter of victuals.
And this tendency is clearly to exag-
gerate the evil which is always most
dangerous in organized society-that
of selfish acquisitiveness in the strong.

IN the great future battle of the
world between the two systems of
socialism and individualism. one Of the
vital points of difference is to be
privacy; and it is important to note
that it is between individualism and
socialism that the point of difference
lies. and that privacy is not by any
means an attribute of aristocracy as
opposed to democracy. That Western
citizen who raised the curtain of the

"what was going on so darled private
