Spurious Indian Relics.

Beware of Indian relics if you have a
weakness for collecting them, says one
who is posted The supply has in
creased suspiciously of late years. and
it is asserted that the demand can al
ways be met by the willy red man and
his INSCRIPTIONS white associates, who
in some cases are the post traders at
the agencies. On the Northern Pacific,
near Bismarck, for instance, there is an
Indian store that does a Gland office
business with gullible tourists. During
the last winter "the arrow that slew
Custer" was twice sold to English trav-
elers, although it is well known that
Clusters body was untouched by ar
rows. Navajo blankets from Massa-
chusetts and Indian pipes from Connec-
ticut are common articles of sale. The
tom-toms eagerly bought up as relics
are often nothing less than government
cheese-boxes covered with sheepskin.
Pipes which the Indians exhibit and sell
in their tepees for seven and eight dol
lars may be bought at the post traders
for two dollars The Apache no longer
has any use for q spear, and there are
few genuine ones to be found, but he
still makes them out of long poles and
boiler iron to sell to the tender-foot.
So also he now uses the Winchester in
place of bow and arrow, but he
spends many Sunday making bows
for collections which he disposes of for
an exorbitant sum as heirlooms that
were formerly used in the chase by his
father, Plenty-Bear, or some other dis
inguished warrior.

A soUAw with papoose on her back
and two larger ones hanging around
her attracted the attention of a lady
passenger on the vestibule special train
the other morning, and the lady asked
the squaw if she would let her take her
and the children's picture. The Indian
woman did not object, so the lady got
out her kodak and told the naive daugh-
ter of the woods to cast her beaming
countenance in such direction that
she could get good shot at it. The
squaw looked up and, seeing the kodak
pointed at her, she grabbed the two
papooses by the hand and made a break
for the corner of the depot. It is not
known whether the squaw knew the
nature Of the instrument or not. She
took wise course, however.

CHiLDREN'S EYES.
Some Precautions in Youth VIII Pr

Some Precautions in Youth VIII Prevent
Trouble Later On.
The constantly increasing near-sight-
edness among school children, and the
very general need and use of glasses,
ought to suggest to us whether or not
we are sufficiently careful of tho con-
ditions affecting the eyes of the young.
Do we see to it that the books they
read and those they study are of clear
and large type, requiring no straining
or forcing of the vision; and do we en-
courage a large and open script for
their handwriting? Do we see to it
that our school houses are built with a.
view to the falling of the light in the
right way for the children's safety?
Do we have the lights at home so regu-
lated that no blaze shall produce
blindness and no dimness make SIGHT
difficult? Do we make sure that the
child holds his book at the distance
which gives a correct focus, that he
holds his body properly in relation to
his book or work, that he looks off
frequently, thus changing the charac-
ter of the demand on the eve, and that
he is not allowed to continue long in
any effort requiring the too intent use
of his eyes? Do we keep ourselves on
the lookout, too, for the first indication
of feebleness or strain, in order that
artificial aids may be resorted to in sea-
son to prevent any possible evil? That
precaution in all these directions is wise
is evident from the fact, if we look
for it, that in those living what might
be called the natural life-thatis, with
out books or fine work-there is very
little trouble with the eyes where the
conditions of good bodily health other
wise are maintained. OF course, where
there are uncleal methods of life, like
those in crowded. Oriental cities, oph-
thalmia of various degrees is to be ex-
pected; but the free roamer of the
desert the dweller OF the forest, the
sailor on the seas, they who oxygenate
the blood in constant currents of fresh
air, and live wild lives that train the
eyesight upon far distances, have lit
tie or no trouble with their eyesight.
The eye1ess fish of dark underground
lakes are perpetual example of afro
ply that takes place through non-use
of an organ; but just as fatal atrophy
can result from it's over-use-that is.
from undue strain and effort-and too
much attention cannot be given to the
prevention of such possibilities. We
may hate to put glasses on the fair free
faces of children, but their future COM
fort is of more Importance than the
pride of our eyes in them; and it NAV
be a burden to give the constant over
sight that the prevention requires in
other directions, but as we chose to as.
sumo that burden in the beginning, we
have no right to shirk one of its re
sponsibilities. and there is none of the
physical responsibilities of mora
weight than tie care Of their eyes -,
