HOW TO DETECT 1T.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Grippe Signs of Its Approach and
How to Counteract Them.

Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Grippe Signs of Its Approach and
How to Counteract Them.
The discussion as to the cause of the
Grippe is, of course, interesting but gives
little satisfaction to its unfortunate VIC
tins. Whether caused by microbe or va
garies of the weather, its ravages continue
and the country still bends under the
scourge. In Chicago, recently, the deaths
from this cause were so great that the TN
dertaking facilities of the city were in
sufficient TO meet the emergency. The
death rate is correSpOndingly high all
through the Northern and Eastern States.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed on
people that, in order to ward off the dis
ease, warning symptoms must be re-
garded and prompt action taken. 1t be-
comes extremely difficult to dislodge the
disease, il allowed to take its course.
Hence its name. Ii generally commences
with slight headache, or pains In the
small of the back or limbs. 1t does not
always give one even as plain a hint as
this-a feeling of tightness across the
forehead, buzzing in the ears, or peculiar
feeling about the eyes, may be all the
caution one gets, so it is culpable careless
ness to neglect even these slight signs.
The remedy lies in stimulant, and the
preference should be given to whisky.
All the doctors of the country are agreed
on this point, but are very careful to inn
press on their patients the fact that pure
whisky alone must be taken. Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky is the purest on the
market, and can be readily obtained at all
drug stores. This preparation, which is
indorsed by all the leading doctors, sci
entists and chemists of the present day, is
this year adding to the first-class reputa-
ton which it won during the epidemic OF
the Grippe last year. There are many
imitators who say their whiskies are 'just
as good" Do not be deceived. They are
not, Duffy's Pure Malt is the only medi-
cinal one.

Ancient Belief of the Osages.

The eighth annual report of the Indian
Rights Association, newly published, is a
readable document, and corrects not few
misappi ehensions concerning the work of
ciyili2ing the Indians. One curious fact
stated in it is that the Osages have a
definite idea Of the Christian doctrine of
the Trinity and had it long before they
came under the teaching of the mis-
sionaIies. Moreover, they have cere-
mony in which the dove is a central
symbol, recalling the baptism of Jesus
This statement is reminder of that by
Prescott that the good priest who went
into Mexico with Cortez was surprised to
find the cross there, and to account for it
went into a speculation as to whether or
not the MeXiCans were the descendants of
the lost tribes of Israel, who were sup
posed to have known the truths which
the cross was to symbolic. As to the
0sages, it may be suspected that their
Trinltaranism came from white men in
some way.

showered them at the carriage until the
President and other gentlemen in the car
riage were almost covered with roses and
violets. Big punches of red roses, white
roses yellow roses, pink roses and all col
ors of roses fell thick and fast in the car
riage. Sometimes they struck the Pres

turned a smile. Sometimes he would take

returned there on September 2. and
went direct to tho Argentine legation.
His intention had been TO go aboard the
vessel Condell which he expected to
find lying in Antonio bay. Upon ar
irving there, however, he discovered 10
his chargin that the vessel had sailed.
Since his return to the Argentine lega-

other man who was devoted to the ex-
presidents cause, was permitted TO
