land dozens of Indians could be seen
coming il single file to the fort, their
lwaistcloths streaming out IN the air
like so many little sails. They would
get as close as they could to the band,
squat down on the ground and never
move hand or foot while the music was
going on. Their ideas Of the eternal
fitness of things were . little primitive,
to be sure; they thought that the big
'gest man in the band ought to be the
THUNDER Mouth;' that is, he ought TO
play the big horn.

time, giant six feet three inches,
played the piccolo and gave the Apaches
most intense amusement to see SO large

but throughout the performance they
were as still as mice, nor could one OF
their number be persuaded to leave TILL
the band ceased. So excellent an In
'fuence did the music have over them
that one of the players suggested that
the best way to civilize the Indians was
to hire a lot of brass bands to go out to
the frontier and play. The idea may
not be practical, but has the merit OF

A Girl,s wonderful power.

Rose de Lima Belville, young French
Canadian girl eight years old, residing
with her parents at Montreal, is said to
be gifted with a supernatural power of
healing, with which she is enabled to
perform miracles. Hundreds of persons
who are lame, blind, halt or otherwise
diseased throng after her daily In the
belief that she is possessed of curative
powers.
Her first cure was operated on friend
of the family suffering from panaris.

said to have been successful. The opera

a Young Woman,s Tact.

There was pretty touch of courtesy
in Brooklyn church on a recent Sun
day. After the service began some late
corners, evidently strangers, were shown,
other seats being occupied, to the very
front pew. There were four of them and
they scrupulously followed the routine
of worship, rising and remaining seated,
as they noticed those around them doing.
At the hymn before the sermon, having
stood during the singing of all the others.
they rose as well. 1t is the custom of
the congregation, however, to sit for this
hymn, and the four stood alone when the
first note was struck.
Only for a few seconds, for a young
woman, church member, who saw the
mistake, rose to her feet to share the
situation with them. An old gentleman
just behind her followed suit, another at
his side Joined the ISLANDERS, and in less
than minute the entire congregation
was on its feet, put there by the quicl
tact of one young woman. And the
strangers never knew they had blum
dered.-Her Point of View in New Yorl

Two kinds of stomachs.

Generally speaking there are two kinds
of stomachs-the acid and the bilious
stomach. Everybody has one or the
other, and each requires different food
and care. Do fruits, acid foods and
drinks make you feel bad, cause dyspep-
sia or collie pains nearly every time you
eat them? Then you have an acid stom-
ach, and it is well to avoid all foods that
have an excess of acids in them. Your
greatest remedy after a meal is bicar-
Donate of soda, carbonic water or vichy.
Do fat meats, grease and other rich, fatty
substances cause nausea, vomiting and
sickness? Then you have bilious stom-
ach. Your greatest remedy is to avoid
all fatty and greasy foods as much as
possible, and eat fruits and food con-
tanning plenty of acids. Acid drinks
are the best medicines that you can take.
These two kinds of stomachs are
found on all, sides, and as soon as one be-
gins to know that he has a stomach he
must ascertain which one he has. Then
he can doctor himself easily. Occasion
ally one changes into the other in the
course of years. The acid stomach, by
the continuous use of fats and avoid
ance of acids, becomes bilious stomach
and vice versa. Then it is well to eat
equally of both for e time.-Yankee

A POLICEMAN IN A WILD COUNTRY.


How Jack Kirkup, of Sproat's Landing.
Put n Desperate Out of Town.
There was only one policeman to en-
force the law in a territory the size of
Rhode Island He was quite as remark
able in his way as any other development
of that embryotic civilization. His name
was Jack Kirlup, and all who knew him
spoke of him as being physically the
most superb example of manhood in the
Dominion. Six feet and three inches in
height, with the chest, neck and limbs
of giant, his 300 pounds of weight were
so exactly his complement as to give him
the symmetry of an Apollo. He was
good looking, with the beauty of a round
faced, good natured boy, and his thick
hair fell in cluster Of ringlets over his
forehead and upon his neck.
No knight of Arthurs circle can have
been more picturesque figure in the
as a dandy. He wore high boots and
and sack coat, and rode his big bay
horse with the ease and grace of Sko-
belief. He smoked like fire of green
brush. In a dozen years he had slept
more frequently in the open air upon
than upon ordinary bedding, and he ex-
hibited, in his graceful movements, his
sparkling eyes and Eruddy cheeks, his
massive frame and his imperturbable
good nature, degree of health and
vigor that would seem insolent to the
average New Yorker.
Now that the railroad was building
he kept ever on the trail, along what
1ol 0E
from camp to camp to Jump" peddlers
and gamblers and to que1 disorder-ex-
cept on pay day, once a month, when he
staid at Sproat's Landing.
The echoes of his fearless behavior and
lively adventures rang in every gather
ing. The general tenor of the stories
was to the effect that he usually gave
one warning to evil doers, and if they did
not heed that he "cleaned them out. Z"
He carried a revolver, but never had
used it. Even when the most notorious
gambler on our border had crossed over
into Jacks bailiwick the policeman de-
pended upon his fists. He had met the
gambler and had ''advised" him to take
the cars next day. The gambler, in re-
ply, had suggested that both would get
along more quietly if each minded his
own affairs, ,whereupon Kirkup had said,
"You hear me; take the cars out of here
tomorrow" The little community Gt
was Donald, B. c., a very rough place at
the time) held its breathing for twenty
four hours, and at the approach of train
time was on tiptoe with strained anxiety.
At twenty minutes before the hour the
policeman, amiable and easy going as
ever in appearance, began a tour of the
houses. 1t was in a tavern that he found
the gambler.
''You must take the train," said he.
''You can't make me-" replied the
gambler.
There were no more words. In two
minutes the giant was carrying the limp
body of the ruffian to a wagon, in which
he drove him to jail. There he washed
the blood off the gamblers face and
tidied his collar and scarf. From there
the couple walked to the cars, where
they parted amicably.
II had to be a little rough" said Kirk
up to the loungers at the station, ''be-
cause he was armed like pincushion,
and didn't want to kill him."-Julian
Ralph in Harper's.

Artists and Pets.

Why are lyric and dramatic artists 30
fond of animals and birds? The ques-
tion has been repeatedly asked, but
never, as far as we know, satisfactorily
answered. Adelina Patti always travels
with her canaries and several dogs.
Sarah Bernhardt drags about small
menagerie with her, and nearly every
singer and actress has canine pet of
some sort.
Laura -Mapleson has weak
ness for talking parrots, and possesses

use of " off-color +" and worthless teas, which,

worked of as good quality of tea 10y
An eminent authority writes on this sub
ject: "The manipulation of poor teas. to give
them a-finer appearance, is carried on exten-.
siyely. Green teas, being in this country
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue, tumeric.
