Indians Never scalp Neproes.

There is one danger incident to Indian
warfare to which soldier of the col
ored regiment is not exposed - he runs
no risk of being scalped. The Indians
call the negroes buffalo soldiers" re-
fering to their close, woody hair, and
nothing would induce them to take an
Ethiopian scalp, They believe it to be
bad medicine" certain to bring mis-
fortune, and not case can be cited in
which a colored man has lost his hair
The soldiers know this, and it is aston
ishing with how much confidence this
knowledge inspires them. have read
several accounts of the Indian method
of taking scalps, but none are strictly
accurate, the method of scalping de-
pending largely upon the time at the
disposal of the wielder of the knife.
An Indian likes to take off every part
of the slxia of the head that is covered
with hair, and instances are numerous
in which the mustache and beard were
removed in one piece with the scalp. A
soldier of the Fourth cavalry was once
killed by the Comanehes. He was a
very hairy man, and the Indians skinned
him from his head nearly to his waist.
This ghastly trophy was captured several
years after it was taken, having been
preserved by the tribe as good lnedi,
cine" Of most remarkable FaieRcy. -

WATER AND SALT.
A Physician's Hints as to the Proper Uss
of Each for Health.

A Physician's Hints as to the Proper Uss
of Each for Health.
Salt is an absolute essential to the
diet of man, says physician. 1t pro-
notes health in various ways. Many of
the functions of the body go on better
under its influence, and without it the
blood becomes impoverished, While a
complete deprivation of salt would pro-
duoc disastrous results an excessive use
of it would scarcely be less harmful. In
large doses it acts as an emetic; in
quantities beyond the requirements Of
health it irritates the stomach and in
testines and sometimes purges. Those
who use salt unusually freely almost
always suffer more or less from consti.
patton.
To drink large quantities of water
daily should be the rule with those who
suffer from constipation. Each day the
system needs at least two quarts of
water, as about that quantity is used
up or thrown out of it every twenty-four
hours. Fruits and vegetable foods cen,
tain much water, and in tea, coffee,
soups, etc, considerable is taken habit
ually. In all ways as stated, about two
quarts of water should enter the stom-
ach daily. 1t is good plan to drink
one or two glasses of water from half
an hour to an hour before eating break
fast. And it may be either hot or cold
as preferred. Whichever is used, the
water should be slowly slipped. To del
uge the stomach with cold water would
be to invite dyspeptic troubles. Boston

The Wicked Bosom-Pin,

As every one knows, In the early
days of Methodism a considerable
degree of strictness was maintained in
regard to the wearing of jewelry or
costly attire, An eminent divine OF
that church gives an amusing incident.
A preacher had just gone to his new
charge, and was in the midst of his SER
mon, when woman rose and went
out, slamming the door with unneces-
sary violence. OF course, he supposed
he had said something which gave
offense; but, on making inquiries, he
learned that the woman left because
1.-THE minister wore a bosom-pin. The
fun of it was that he had driven to the
service over bad roads, and one drop oi
mud had settled on his immaculate
shirt bosom, deceiving the tender con.
science of the good sister.--Wlde
