A young quaw fleeing from the adj
vansin2 Sioux reached the Enclosure
pursued by half n score Of painted dew
lis, their hands already reelSinS with
Pawnee gore. writes n e York
Tribune correspondent. Seeing escape
impossible. She fell flat on the ground
and pulled her blanket over her head
TO lose sight Of the descending blow. 1t
came from 4 tomahawk that glanced of
her skull without penetrating it. The
whites were within n few rods, firing
rs they ran, and one OF the Sioux
braves fell. shot dead, beside the pros
tratc woman. Another, however,
jcrked the blanket from her bleeding
head, and with haste born Of fear cut
around and cruelty lifted her scalp, she
conscious oil the time, but never utter
ing q sound. The savage fed with his
bloody trophy to rcjoin his comrades.
The troops came to the rescue of h sad
~ outnuinbcrcd Pawnces, and together
they succeeded in putting the Sioux to
rout. When the panic subsidized the
wounded squaw was borne 10 the mis-
sion hospital and her injuries dressed.
In spite Of the scalping she babe fair to
SSohSts olEduRC W ASidhCt
her friends showed great reluctance to
her receiving medical treatment, claini-
ing h q according to all indian prccept
n example u scalpcd person should be
dead, and her recovery would only
bring bad medicine to her tribe. The
woman ncquiesced in this opinion, and
expressed perfect willingness to be sac
rificcd to the ancient customs. The
text morning the squaw's cot vas
empty and the patient nowhere to be
found.
Two days later some troopers hunt
ing q stray horse on the river bank,
miles away, were startled to hear
groans coming from 4 ncighboring
thiclsct. Thinking that some wounded
Sioux had been abandoned to die, they
cautiously approached. There, buried
all but her face i'll the drifting sand,
was the scalped squaw, still alive and
conscious. They dug her out and
brought her back to the mission, thor
oughly cured of her willingness to die.
She told 10Y she had been stolen from
the hospital by her own family and
buried by the river bank. She now
wanted to live, and n close watch was
kept to prevent her being again offered
as n victim to savage superstition.
Once afterward, when walking in the
yard, she vas spirited away by the
Pawnces and hidden in 4 tcpcc, that
when night fell she might be buried
more securely. Again she was restored
to the mission. and, upon strong threats
of military vengeance should any thing
occur to her in future, the poor creature
WAS allowed by her tribe to live out the
remainder OF hcr days.

Upon this point Crispi often insists and always
with the applause and support OF his country
men.
Education isds reading fast among the young
Siciiians. and schools are much the fashion.
In an almshouse which visited in Palermo
the great Albergo del Poveri, for women and
children not only found the younger girls
reading and writing, but the older ones were
studying music and class of twenty or thirty
were listening to eloquent lecture on Man
zoni and Italian literature in general. Fancy
the girls at the Monson primary school taking
notes OF lecture on Walter Scott, Shakespeare
and Hawthorne, and you would have Massa-
ehusetts parallel to the scene. Young Sicily
does not mean TO be left behind in any part OF
the race for higher civilization. The people
speak Sicilian dialect hard to understand;
but the children are taught pure Italian. as
testify; for | went into a little free school
of the paltry village of Mola, 2,1O0 feet above
the "violet-hued sci" as Homer calls il, and
there the little men OF eight, ten
and twelve years stood up and re-
cited to me in good Italian. and with all the
tone and gesture of orators, the story OF Hora-
thus at the bridge, of COrnelia, mother OF
Gracious, and of the modern Horatius and
Gracious in one, Garibaldi the liberator.
These boys, in the matter oflanguage, will soon
carry their fathers on their backs, as Eneas did,
and they are growing up TO brave patriotism
for united Italy which, is good TO see. | told
the boys l was an American and to prove II
gave the schoolmaster some money, as L had
done with the Greek schoolmaster at Cheronea.
That afternoon. as l was walking the road
TO Mola with my wife, we met one Of the school,
boys going down to the town to sell few
things and munohng lemon. Oh, perhaps,
he had borrowed from q tree, as did one day
at Syracuse. We recognized each other and
ask ed him to tell us the story of Horatius. lie
laid down his bundle to free his right hand;
then rejecting that he should need the other
hand for the grand gesture of plunging into the
stream he laid down also his dear lemon and
gave us the story with all due eloquence. Such
boys ragged and dirty as they are, make the
hope of Italy; they grow up to be good soldiers,
are not too servile toward the priests and lazy
monks, and the control Of the future rests
with them.

FOURTH DAYS SESSION.
Monday at the National Conference of
Charities.

Monday at the National Conference OF
Charities.
DR.. Hal G. Wyman OF Detroit presented
a paper Monday Morning on Hospital
Cleanlin ess," and the nature of the paper
merited a larger audience of physicians
than was in attendance. 1t was mostly
devoted to the scientific details of hospital
cleanliness. He found that by an absence
of filth and necessary germs of disease,
the mortality is largely decreased. Separ-
alton OF patients and classification accord
ing to disease is of the utmost importance,
for germs arising in the air will infect pa
tients suffering from other diseases. DIR.
Wyman advocated a careful scrutiny of the
minor management of hospital. descrlb-
ing the best apparata for bathing purposes,
for cleaning floors, disinfecting beds and
clothing, burning the sweepings, etc.
The paper was strongly approved, DIR.
A. A. Aucker of st. Paul emphasizing the
point that white bed spreads didn't neces-
sarily make clean hospital. DIR. A. w.
Brayton of this city apologized for the
non-attendance OF local physicians by
claiming thatthey were all of DIR. Wyman's
opinion in this matter and could not
escape the demands OF their business. lie
in turn supported Dr. Wyman in his
views and Father Bessonies, in speaking.
called attention to the effect OF cheerful
air. when assumed by hospital physi-
clan.
DIR. w. B. Fletcher in discussing the
paper told of his experience while at the
head of a gangrene hospital in Richmond,
Va, during the war. In those days the
only way OF stopping gangrene was by
cutting off patients limbs. This sur
gerry is now prevented by modern treat
ment and cleanliness He thought no
bedding should be occupied by second
patient, as disease is too often transmitted
in this manner by germs that linger In
bedding.
DR.. A. r. Moulton of Boston, n. s. Rose
nau of Buffalo and DR.. Bell OF Michigan
spoke upon the subject.
During the morning the committee on
organization recommended the appoint
ment of an international conference COM
mittee of nine TO have charge OF the
charity exhibit at the worlds fair. A
letter from Director General Davis of the
fair managers was read in which he
favored such measure and the recon-
mendation of the committee was then
adopted.
AT the time of the discussion on hos
pital cleanliness Mr.. Sanborn reviewed
the plan of ventilation in the Danvers in
sane hospital. This is most expensive
plan but was found to be detective. DR..
w. P. Jones, formerly superintendent OF
the Tennessee insane hospital

to the cross at last, whipped out my jack

myself that the cross was made of wood,
slid to the ground, amid loud cheers from
the crowd, and pushed my way back to my

Travelled Millions of Miles.

The boast OF Maine passenger conductor
that in the quarter of a century of his
active service on the rails he has travelled
1,039, 100 miles, has set many veteran rail-
readers to figuring. The Philadelphia Rec
ord knows OF several Pennsylvania ticket
punchers who have a better record, and
says: Conductor Joseph II. Missimcr, who
runs on the 10 o'clock express on the main
line OF the Reading Railroad, has been trav-
cling up and down the road since 1868, and
covers 1856 miles daily. For two years he
ran to Wlllamsp0rt. making 211 miles
daily. This gives him record of 1,579, 72O
miles in his twenty-three years. Con-
ductor s. G. Boone, who recently left
the service of the Recalling road, has an
even bigger record. Nearly every day for
over quarter of century, be has travelled
to this city from his home in Reading, leav-
ing there early in the morning, and took out
an express train. After his run to Potts
vile and back, 1856 miles. he dead headed 1t
back to his home in Reading making his
travelling for the day amount to 302 miles.
In twenty-five years this would give the
astonishing record of 2, S47, 900 miles. Eli +.
Lynn, w. NJ Thomas and Edward Ham
mann are other Reading conductors who
have passed beyond the LOCO eco miles mark.
On the Pennsylvania Railroad there are a
number of the conductors who have equally
big records. Evidently it is not such very
rare thing to travel l. 600, 900 miles and more"
Without doubt there are men on the Central
Hudson who could discount any one Of these
aehleyements.-Troy Times.
