Teaching the Indian Humanity Express
Shaving Confused Bridegroom A

Life in Street and Country Lane.
TALKING about Indians" said a Califor-
nian to me yesterday. Dave Priest, an old
friend Of mine when lived in Ohio played
an elegant trick upon one of the red-skinned
varmints out in Arizona some years ago. We
were riding along stretch of sandy road
under summer sun when We met an Indian
and his squaw. The latter had an immense
pack strapped upon her back, enough for
two strong men any day to carry, while her
husband, after the Indian fashion, strobe
along beneath no greater burden than O
ragged blanket and more or less dirt Dave
Priest didn't like the look of
this division of labor. and he halted
the procession, and asked the noble savage
why he didn't carry at least his share of the
baggage. The noble savage pretended not
to understand, waved his hands and was
walking away when Priest took out a re-
volver from his holster and said: Now you
sun-baked son of the Sierra, you take that
bundle off your squaw's back and hoist it on
your ownl And be quick about 1t, too for if
you don't hurry I'll bore more holes in you
than II be comfortable! Now, get move
1.-THE lazy brute kept up the pretense Of
inability to understand what was
said to him for moment, but the
deadly seriousness of Priest and his
revolver had their effect finally,
and he slowly relieved the wretched d'wonan
of the tent blankets and heaven knows what
she had been carrying, and with many
grunts and groans staggered off under the
unaccustomed load. Priest made it as clear
to the Indian brain as possible that if he
transferred the load to his squaw he ran the
risk of getting shot, and we stood and
watched them till they were out of sight.
The woman did not speak, much less thank
her deliverer, while Priest was shifting her
burdens, and the last saw of them she was
still shutting painfully behind her lord. L
suppose she got the baggage to carry again
and beating as soon as the hillside hid
them from Priests view and the influence of
his revolver"

A Speedy Shave.

A BARBER who can shave five men in an
hour is doing quick work, and a young
Pittsburger who has the fortune or misfor-
tune, as you may choose, to possess stiff
black beard thought he was seeking the i'm
possible when he asked barber yesterday
to shave him in five minutes in order that
he might catch a train. But the barber thus
challenged, with the added incentive of a
double fee if he did the work in the allotted
time, settled down to his best gait, and sue
ceeded in shaving his man, without single
cut, but clean, smooth and complete, in some
seconds less than five minutes. More than
this the barber brushed his customers hair
and put in all the little extras of bay rum
and the rest, handed him his hat, and re-
marked the heat of the day before the five
minutes had elapsed.

Fishes in Winter.

We have heard of toads which have
been imprisoned in solid rock for CEN
turies and which were found alive when
their abiding place was cleft open.
This reminds me of things have observ-
ed about certain fishes in Winter and l
think will be interesting to the young
folks. A large number of fishes, some
of them living in deep ponds, brooks, or
out in the silent hooks of the sea, will re.
main for four, five, or even six months
in the same position without eating or so
much as moving fin or tail.
In the Government Fish Hatchery un-.
der the management of Mr.. Wilmont.
I had much opportunity to study certain
fishes in Winter, for they could be clear.
ly.seen through the glass sides Of the
tanks. In one tank, about third Of the
way up from the bottom, were half doz-
en- German carp, all facing the direction
from which the water flowed. nolice1
their positions about Christmas and saw
them again twice in January and two OF
three times in March, and in all that
time not one Of them had changed their
positions or moved fin or tail. Mr..
Willmont told me this was quite usual
among the fishes. He permitted me to
raise the cover of the tank and pokea
couple of them with my stick and each
one made slow, lazy movement, ard re.
lapsed into stiffness. Just above the
carp, in the same tank, was an eel shout
three feet long. When I first saw it in
December it WAS curved like perfect s,
and all through the Winter it preserved
that shape without, as far as Mr.. Will
mott knew, once moving. Put a frog
into a tank at the beginning Of Winter,
then place small piece of wood 10 the

With his eyes looking straight: ups and
never so much as move until the weather
begins to get warm in the Spring; he
will then begin to jump about and look
for something to eat:
But the strangest case of Information
that I know has been related to me by
DR.. Ferguson the Pathologist of New
York Hospital. In one of the small
tanks belonging to the hospital museum
carp Of particular description had
been placed. One very cold night the
water where the fish was kept was frozen
through and the fish imbedded in it.
The care-taker took the ice from the
vessel and placed it on top of an ash
barrel where rubbish was put away, till
one day the hot Spring sun melted the
ice down to the place where the fsh. was
frozen. Some attachee of the hospital
then was surprised to notice a fish wig

= AS measure to suppress the oleo-
margarine trade, the internal revenue
tax imposed on the product in 1887 has
been a marked failure. Receipts from
this source were 40 per cent larger in the
last fiscal year than in 1890, showing q
great expansion of production. 1t is the
opinion of the Government officers that
the product is steadily winning it's way
into public favor, not in the disguise OF
butter, but for just what it is.
The Alliance farmers of Kansas
have not taken the advice that was given
to repudiate their mortgage indebtedness
but are paying it up as fast as they can
get the money for their crops. The sta
tistics recently collected on the subject
are encouraging to all holders Of farm
mortgages, and pleasing to everybody
who believes in the honesty and honor
of the farmers OF the country. 1t is a
sound policy that the Kansas farmers
are pursuing in this respect, and it will
rebound to their advantage at once and
hereafter.
- "There are one hundred thousand
pickpockets in London, and each one of

"The rendezvous of the thief-trainers and

Turn Choking People Upside Down.

MAYORS OFFICE, FREDERICKSBURG,
VA. Sept, 12.-Messrs. Editors: The
Sun of the 11th instant contained a 'spe.
cial" from Pittsburg, Pa, which stated
that a party was choked to death by q
piece of meat lodging in his. throat, and,
as 1 know Of a very simple remedy,
which has always proved successful
whenever tried, I desire to make the
same known through the columns of your
widely circulated journal. Some two
years ago death from choking was re-
ported in the New York World, aud /
wrote short article for that paper, Civ.
ing The remedy, and requested that any
one who had tried it would write me. I'd
a few weeks I received q letter. from a
grateful mother who had saved the life
of her little daughter when almost gone.
I have known of several instances of
children that were badly choked being
relieved at once, and, one instance, a
bean in child's nose was removed by
the same means. = J !'ss'- ie'',%o '''Se' "
The remedy is simply this: To reverse
the position of the body by turning the
head down and the feet up at once as
soon as case of choking occurs. l. saw
man once badly choked, who must have
died but for knowing this remedy, but he
rushed to a sofa near a window, and,
placing his hands on the floor, with his
head down iand. his feet elevated. in the
window, he was instantly relieved.
I will thank any who may try this
remedy to kindly write me the results
and to publish the same for the benefit of
the public, for I have never known it to
fail in single instance.
