Skill of Irish Boat Women.

The women of these coasts and islands arc as skillful as the men in handling tho oar and rudder. They know every sunken rock and dangerous current of the intri- cate channels between the great island of Aran and the mainland, and take the boats In and out in all weathers For many years Grace Darling of this western coast, the daughter of pilot who lived on Fights Island, went out in storm and darkness with her old father, never trust ing him alone. as she knew his weakness for the whisky. This brave girl never finched from facing the widest gales, fearing that disaster might befall her father, and the vessels it was his busi ness to guide to safe anchorage, if she were not at the helm. Many a ships crew beating about between Alan and Owey Swed it's preservation to Nellie Boyle. Two sisters have taken the post boat into Aran for many years past, their father.

American Medical Students Abroad.


 In regard to the medical education of American physicians compared with those of Europe, have been struck forcibly by the fact that our students seem to bs more practical and better able to grasp end develop ideas than those of European countries. Especially in the operative courses, in Vienna, have noticed that the American students performed their work more neatly and thoroughly and with greater dispatch than the compara- lively slow going Continental members of the class, and that while those from this country had possibly had but Q three years course of study before graduation, yet they were more than the equals of the German students of six years stand Ing, think this difference is due to the more practical and thorough methods of teaching in vogue in this country, and believe it to be but question of time when, instead of us going to Europe, the continental physicians will be anxious to avail themselves of the facilities offered In the United States.
 The present superiority of foreign over American medical institutions lies in the fact that all their expenses are sustained by the government, but if there was . tendency on the part of the wealthy to endow our schools, whatever doubt there may be as to comparative merit would soon be set at rest. Regarding surgery, one of Won Bergmann's assistants, a man known throughout the world by his con- nection with the case of the crown prince, has told me, in the course of converse tion, that he considered the American sur. geon ahead of the world in ingenuity, practical ability and in operative tech nique.-Dr A.

''1 will just tell you A story, said Ms Foster L. Backus about the memory and reasoning power possessed by a horse on thy fathers farm This horse was in the habit of making journeys about the neigh oorhood in charge of a certain groom. who was coarse, ignorant. low and cruel. The horse had been brought up on our farm and was very good tempered and gentle but the grooms roughness and fondness for laying on the whip confused him so much that he was not prompt in obeying orders sometimes. Then the groom beat and bullied him. The horse never showed the slightest sign of resentment till one day the groom approached him in the pasture field. The horse was free for the first time in the presence of his enemy and he charged the groom A short halter was around his neck, and the groom seized thu and hung on. The horse tried to strikeHim with his forefeet; tried to bite and kick him. The man dodged and shouted for aid
 "The fight ~as desperate and very ex citing. The horse fairly roared with rage. The groom waa nearly faggedl out, and In another five minutes would have been knocked. down and trampled to death, when my father came on the scene. He seized the halter and told the groom to run. As soon as he was gone the horse subsided and was as docile as ever Now, am satisfied that the horse deliberately planned to kill that groom at the first favorable opportunity. See how carefully he chose the time and place of the assault A lonely pasture field where be had his enemy all to himself. He had never shown the faintest sign of vicious. ness before. The groom kept away from him after that. and the horse never after. ward was known to exhibit rage. If he had killed the groom it would have been murder in the first degree. for the element of deliberation was there. Yes, sir; horses have reason, and they have memory also,

of fire, above which the smoke rolled,
obscuring the central scene from view.
Through this horrible curtain single In
dians could be seen at,times flying before
the fire, but after the first discharge from
the carbines Of the troopers there were
few of them left. They fell on all sides
like grain In the course of a scythe.
Indians and soldiers lay together, and
the wounded fought OH the ground.
of through the draw toward the bluffs
the few remaining warriors fed, turning
occasionally to fire, but now evidently
caring more for escape than to fight.
Only the wounded Indians seemed pos
sessed of the courage of devils From
the ground where they had fallen they
continued TO fire until their ammunition
was gone or until killed by the soldiers.
Both sides forgot everything excepting
only the loading and discharging of guns.
1t was only in the early part of the affray
that hand-to- hand fighting was seen.
The carbines were clnbbed, sabers
cleaned, and war clubs circled in the air
and came down. like thunderbolts. But
this was only for short time. The In
dians could not stand that storm from
the soldiers. They had not hoped to.
1t was only stroke of life before death.
The remnant fled, and the battle became
hunt
1t was now that the artillery was
called into requisition. Before, the fight
ing was so close that the guns could not
be tiained without danger of death to
the soldiers Now, with the Indians fly
ing where they might, it was easier to
reach them. The Gattling and Hotch-
kiss guns were trained, and then began
heavy firing, which lasted half an
hour, with frequent volleys of musketry
and cannon. It was war OF extermin-
alton now with the troopers. 1t was
difficult to restrain the troops. Tactics
were almost abandoned. The only tao
ties was to kill while it could be done.
Wherever an Indian could be seen, down
to the creek and upon the bare hills,
they were followed by artillery and mus
kerry fire, and for several minutes the
engagement went on until not live In
dian was in sight

The day opened with an attack on the
wagon train OF the Ninth Cavalry, with
In mile and half of the agency. Col.
Henry and four companies Of the Ninth
arrived at daybreak An hour after, the
Indians fired into the wagons. In few
moments both the Seventh and the
Ninth were out and In line of battle on
the bluffs north of the agency. The
firing was seen plainly from here, In
one hour the skirmish was over and the
soldiers started for breakfast, but were
destined to go without.
A courier arrived with word that the
Catholic Mission was on fire, and the
teachers and pupils being massacred.
In twenty minutes the weary, hungry,
and exhausted cavalrymen were once
more in motion. They found that the
fire, the black smoke of which could be
plainly seen, was the day school, one
mile this side of the mission.
The Indians were found to number
1900 and over. The Seventh formed a
line and began the fighting, which was
carried on by only 300 or 400 Indians at
a time, while the great mass kept con-
cealed. Col. Forsythe suspected an am
bush and did not let them draw him on
into dangerous ground. Col. Henry
started one hour later than Forsythe
and, owing to the exhaustion of his
horses, had to travel slowly. The Sew
enth became surrounded by Indians, but
just as the circle was ready to charge the
Ninth broke in upon the rear and they
fell back. The weary soldiers slowly re-
treated, reaching the agency at dark.
The infantry had been ordered out,
but was stopped by the sight OF the head
of the column of cavalry. The soldiers,
brave and heroic as they are, were over
powered.
There are not enough troops at this
point to clean out these Indians, who are
still camped within seven miles of the

How the Reds Went Down Before tho
Fire OF the Soldiers.
The Omaha Bees correspondent at the
camp on Wounded Knee telegraphs as
follows concerning the battle there:
In the morning, as soon as the ordina-
ry military work OF the early day was
done, Mai Whitesides determined upon
disarming the Indians at once, and at 6
o'clock the camp of Big Foot was sur
rounded by the Seventh and Taylor's
scouts. The Indians were sitting I'm q
ha circle. -Four HotchlSiss guns were
placed upon hill about 200 yards
distant Every preparation was made,
not especially TO fight but to show
the Indians the futility OF re-
sistancc. They seemed to recognize
this fact, and when Maj. Whitsides
ordered them to come UP twenty at a
time and give up their arms, they came,
but not with their guns in sight. OF the
first twenty but two or three displayed
arms. These they gave up sullenly,
and observing the futility of that method
Of procedure, Maj. Whitsides ordered a
detachment of X and A troops on foot
to enter the tepees and search them.
This work had hardly been entered upon
when the 100 desperate Indians turned
upon the soldiers, who were gathered
closely about the tepees, and imme-
diately storm of firing was poured upon
the military. 1t was as though the order
to search had been a signal. The sol
diers, not anticipating any such action,
had been gathered In closely, and the first
firing was terribly disastrous to them.
The reply was Immediate, however, and
in an instant it seemed that the draw in
which the Indian camp was set was a
sunken Vesuvlus. The soldiers, mad
dened at the sight of their falling COM
rades, hardly awaited the command, and
in moment the whole front was sheet
