HOW WE c1yIL1zE INDIANS.

Indian soldiers, under the influence of un>
limited whisky. are not so very much better
than their civilized comrades.
At Whipple Barracks, in Prescott. A. T.,
where the garrison includes one company OF
Apaches, the last pay day was followed by
a spree, with the result that seven Indians
are in the guard house with as many more
Indian and white soldiers in the hospital.
The culprits who sold these soldiers whisky
ought to be III a worse place. We commend
this matter to the attention Of General Nor
gan, General Howard and their other emil
nenr Mohonk associates. -NeW York Iete-

DRUNKENNESS IN FRANCE.

A recent French writer, referring to the
spread Of drunkenness throughout the ham,
let's OF France. says: ''In the villages the
women are obliged, like the wives Of work
men in the cities, to hang about the wine

sous and silver in the clothespress, or in a
corner near his chimney, and saving themfor

tryman now spends them'freely in daily Wis

THE earthquake across the centra

The earthquake across the central
portion of the Mississippi Valley
from Memphis to Keokuk, extending
On the east to Louisville and west fo1
O shorter distance from the river, re.
calls the great earthquake which had
it's center at New Madrid early in
this century. and which was one OF
the most severe known in this coun-
try. All great river valleys have
their shocks and slips, generally In a
line parallel with their course-this
one ran north and southland which
arc ordinarily attributed to the
changes due to erosion and the de.
post Of allurium which change the
balance of the earth's crust. 1t Is in.
.teresting to note that in the present
instance the shock was in general
confined to the territory on each side
of the Mississippi and It's tributaries
under 500 feet of elevation. The
places reported as feeling the shock
are nearly all below this elevation,
and the 500-foot contour line runs
back farther on the left than OF the
right bank of the Mississippi at this
point, which may account for the
wider eastward extent Of the shock.

"AIcoHo1.n

You have heard of the Philosophers Stone,
no doubt. a wonderful stone which folks in
years gone by were always trying to dis
cover. They thought it would turn into gold
everything that touched it. How very silly,
wasn't it? Another silly idea some had-they
thought there was O certain liquid which If
they drank would make them live forever.
They called it 1.-THE Elixir Of Life" Some
men spent their whole life trying to find it
out-of course they did not succeed. Why?
Because it was all rubbish-no such thing.
One day an Arabian philosopher who was
trying to discover "The Elixir Of Life" dis.
titled a liquid which made those who drank
it do some very silly things, so he said that
1t was an evil spirit-or, in his own Ian.

bolts are enough. No, in the same breath he
launches the third thunderbolt, which to
them is mora fiery, mora terrible, more de-
moiishing than the Others, as he cries out:
''hath made OF one blood all nations" Oh,
Paul! you forget you are speaking to the
proudest and most exclusive audience IN the
world. Do not say ''ot one blood" You
cannot mean that. Had Socrates and Plato
and Demosthenes and Scion and Lycurgus
and Draco and Sophocles and Euripides and
Eschylus and Pericles and Phidias and Mil

Turks, like the Egyptians, like the common
herd of humanity? Eyes" says Pau, "oi

Surely that must be the closing paragraph
of the sermon. His auditors must let up
from the nervous strain. Paul has smashed
the Acropolis and smashed the national pride
Of the Greeks and what more can he say?
Those Grecian orators. standing on that
place. always closed their addresses with
something sublime and climacteric-a psror.
ation-and Paul is going to give them a
parorarion which will eclipse IN power and
majesty all that he has yet sail. Hereto
fore he has hurled one thunderooit at a
time: now he will close by hurting two
at once. The little old man, under the
owe of his speech, has strengthened
himself up, and the stoop has gone OUT
OF his shoulders. and no looks about

Dow Colds are Cured in Alaska.

Some of the readers of the BELT may wish to know how colds are cured in the frozen regions of the north, If so the following extract from recent letter of C. F. Coon, a druggist in Juneau, Alas ka, will interest them. He says "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is selling better than ever. It is harder 10 get in- to the boxes than to sell the Remedy af. ter they are opened. Mr. Coon's sales were rather light for tho frat year he handled this medicine, but have increased esch year as the people there become better acquainted with it's valuable prop critics, until it is now the most popular medicine he handles for coughs aud colds. which shows that real merit is as much appreciated in the far north as at home, and in time the best is sure to be- come the most popular.
