INDIAN RATIONS.
How the Aborigines Are Provided for by
the Government.

the Government.
To any one who has never witnessed
the distribution of rations at an Indian
agency the performance is remarkably
interesting. The government building
is ordinarily barn-like structure, sur
rounded by a platform, on which the
squaws form in line, each with her
ticket, AS they pass through door in
single file, clerk looks at each wom-
ans card and shouts out the number of
rations to which she is entitled. Sup
posing that there are three in her fam
lily she is entitled to twenty-one rations
for the week, of course. Her card shows
that and every time it is presented the
clerk punches it once. After it has been
punched fifty-two times, being good for
one year, it is exhausted.
The squaw passes on to another clerk
who distributes corn. He has num-
Der of scoops of different sizes, each
holding so many rations. The amount
of corn due the woman he promptly
dumps in her shawl, tied up for tenn
porary use as a receptacle. She then
passes to yet another clerk, who gives
her the flour or sugar due her and so on
until she has received her portion of
everything, when she passes out at a
door on the other side. Usually the
squaws employ the corner of their
shawls to hold the various kinds OF
provender but at some agencies they
are obliged by regulation to bring
back sacks for the flour.-Boston Tran
script.

There's a aoide difference

Ihere'S q 2Clde d!HeFe2lce
between the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That one is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back, On this plan, medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May, AT all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all tie diseases arising from a tor,
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for a dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.
Can you ask more?

Throwing Power of Heavy Guns

A twelve-inch Schneider gun, under
an angle of piOjeetion of twenty de-
grees average maximum angle used on
board ship, will throw a 9OO-pound
shell ten and one-half miles. There
are many guns now mounted on battle
ships that have the power to throw
projecti!es ten miles, under maximum
ship angles ofprojection. At Portland,
Me-, the ten-mile circle passes out to
sea some three and one-half miles from
nearest land, at Boston two and one
half miles from land, t Brooklyn two
and one-half miles from land off Coney

WEDDHDIN STYLE.

II is not often that whole regiment
stands sponsor to blushing bride.
This happened lately in the Citadel
church, Warsaw, Russian Poland, when
Nara Constantinovna keksholmss-
kava, "the daughter" of the Keksholm
regiment of grenadlers, was married TO
Cornet Josefovitch Chlemmcr of the
Tnirty-tnlrd dragons.
The story OF the brides adoption by
the regiment is a romantic one, says the
Detroit Free Press. 1t occurred during
the Russo-Turkish war of lS77-18. One
bitterly cold night the grenadiers were
marching through a defile in the Bal
kans on their way to the seige of
plevna when a party of officers IN
the advance guard heard the plaintive
cries of 3 child proceeding from the
roadside.
They found r. 3-year. old girl clasped
in the stiffened arms of its dead Turk
ish mother. The little one was rescued
and we'll cared for by the soldiers. She
accompanied the regiment all through
the horrors of the campaign, and 1t
was resolved TO adopt her as the
daughter OF the regiment" The
tssrins consented tn give the child her
name, while Emperor Francis Joseph,
who IS honorary colonel Of the regi-
ment, interested himself in her well
fare.
The little orphan of war thus found
little army OF protectors. All the
officers OF the regiment made point
of raising a fund for their dsUgh-
ter's" dowry. which their imperial
benefactors further added -.
