If you ask your physician anything

very warm do not battle the face in cold,
or even cool water; instead choose that

Indian Marriages.

AS there are different tribes of Indians so
are there different ceremonies attending the
marriages of men and women. Among the
Pawnees the form is simple but always
about the same. The wife is servant and
the man gets her mot for companion, but for
a menial. There is no drudgery too labOri-
GUS, no labor too degrading or humiliating
that he will not require her to perform.
When young man makes up his mind that
the duties of his home are too numerous
and too labOriOuS for him to perform he
looks around for some strong, able bodied
woman in his tribe-her personal beauty is
of no consequence, but she must be strong
and healthy. When he finds such one he
dresses himself up in all the fnery he can
command, and with his coat. fur side out.
we'll up around his face so as to conceal his
features, he enters the lodge Of the woman
he has decided upon and seats himself on
the floor. No one speaks to him and he
speaks to no one. After sitting for short
time ho gets up and goes out. This is re-
peated the next day and unless he is re-
ceived with some degree of attention he
withdraws, understanding that his atten-
tiOns have not met with favor. but if the
woman should meet him and offer him the
seat of honor on bear skin. or some other
skin of equal value, then he understands
that he is acceptable as suitOr, and he
lowers his coat and reveals his features.
At this stage of the proceedings the father
of the girl appears. his price Is stated.
usually one or more horses, gun and some
blankets. If the young fellow is able to
meet the demand the marriage is agreed
upon then and there. He is then told to go
home and make feast inviting all of his
relatives and have them discuss the dasjra.
bility of the match. The father of the girl
does the same thing and the character and
standing of the expectant groom is thor
oughly examined into. If each report ia
vorably the purchase price. is paid, some
one throws blanket over the head of the
bride and she is led to the lodge of her hus-
band, and there she becomes the slave of
one with whom she has had but little to
say. POlygamy is practiced and the num-
ber of wives is limited only by the financial
condition of the man. Usually he takes
the next sister when she reaches marriage
able age, preferring to take her for sisters
live together more peaceably. A sOn-in-
law never speaks to any of his wife's rela-
tives. believing that by so doing he treats
them with the greatest possible respect.
Among the Indians. mothers -in-law never
stir up strife and break up homes as is
sometimes the case among white people.
If the mother wishes to visit her daugb-
ter, on reaching her lodge if she finds her
husband i'm she will not enter but will defer
her visit until she is sure he is not at home.
A son-in- law feels it his duty to supply the
parents of his wife with game until he has
family of his own. then he leaves them to
shift for themselves until another daughter
is married. GEN. r. w. JOHNSON.

Very Expensive Drugs.

very Expensive DTuSSs
We would. perhaps, wonder less at the
fancy charges made by physicians and sur
geons who have rare and exceptional eases
in charge if we only knew the cost of drugs
they use in special diseases. For the bene.
fit of the army of 1.-THE curious" we have
prepared the following list of scarce and
expensive drugs:
Three pound bottle of alkalOid of aconi-
tine, $3.50. so; quarter ounce vial of cheli.
domino alkalOid, a new drug used in skin
diseases, scrofula, and drOpsy, $SS; cocaine,
about $12O per pound. A five-O ounce bottle
of ''true cotion'' will cost about $3.50, or
about $40 an ounce. Crystals of elaterin.
poison used in cases of hydrOphobia and
lockjaw. prepared from plant called South
American Indian arrow, is worth about
$145 per ounce.
Among other costly drugs we might men
ton the following. and the different sized
bottles and vials in which they are sold:
Agaricin. ~ ounces. $43.75; cOlOcynthin.
81 ounces, STATS; cOnline hydrOchlOrate,
~ ounces, $9S.45; cyclamin. 81 ounces,
$54. 04; digitOXin, ~ ounces. $S7.4O; gen.
tisin, / Il ounces, $91.15; heliOtrOpin,
ounces, $61.25; dydrastine hydrOchlorate,
81 ounces, $194.S0; papayOtin, used as a
solvent for the diphtheric membrane, 13-
ounce bottle. $1S9.50.
Besides the above there are various prep
arations made from the Calabar bean. the
cost of which is amazing. They are chiefly
used in diseases of the eye. One is called
physostigmine alkalOid, and costs $137.5
per ounce vial. Physostigmine crystals are
still more expensive. being sold in 21a-
ounce bottles at cost of $5O3. Is. Still an
other preparation of the Calabar is phys
ostigmine calicylate crystals. an aristocratic
drug that surely furnishes fitting capsheaf
for this pyramid of costly stuffs. which is
furnished to the consumer who is able to
pay at the reasonable charge of $1.810. 020
