NEw YoRK, Jan. a.--The New York
Freemna's Journal publishes to-day q
letter from Father Craft, the Catholic mis-
slonary who was probably fatally stabbed
In Mondays battle. Father Craft said
In the beginning the Indians hoped for
much aid from the government 70 enable
them 20 become like the whites. They
were, however, ill-treated, moeked and
discouraged In every way. Instead OF

death blow, and they knew II. The IN

A remarkable fact in regard to the water
is that during a single bath a person can
drink from six to nine pints without any
unpleasant effect The failure of the
water to act as an emetic when taken in
such quantities and at such a high tenn
perature is said to be due to the great
quantity of free carbonic acid with
which the water is charged. After the
patient has partaken freely of the hot
water and the heat of the room has
caused heavy perspiration, he is passed

The "pigskin" which is used in Soath
American countries for holding the flu
ids, is usually the skin Of living sheep
that is, it is stripped from the a,:imal
before the animal is killed. This cruel
process is thus described. The sheep
is tied to a stake, and careful slit is
made down the middle and around the
neck, without cutting the flesh. Hook )
are then fastened to the loosened skin.
and it is slowly drawn off to the tail.
The poor animals cries of agony during
this atrocious proceeding would touch
the heart Of even a savage, but the Pc
ruvians, who originated it, seem to de-
light in it. They assert that the skin
taken from a living animal is more
durable and flexible than if the poor
beast were first mercifully killed.

In the Revue d'Hyqiene, NJ. Bourri-
er, inspector of meat for the city of
Paris, describes his experience with
meat impregnated with tobacco smoke.
Some thin slices of beef were exposed
for considerable time to the fumes OF
tobacco, and afterward offered to dog
which had been deprived of food for
twelve hours. The dog, after smelling
the meat, refused to eat it. Some OF
the meat was then cut into small pieces
and concealed within bread. This the
dog ate with avidity, but in twenty
minutes commenced to display the
most distressing symptoms and soon
died in great agony. All sorts OF
meat, both raw and cooked, some
grilled, roasted and broiled, were ey-
posed to tobacco smoke and then given
to animals, in all cases producing
symptoms of acute poisoning. Even
the process of boiling could not extract
from the meat the nicotine poison.
