Wisconsin's Indians.

In 1886, when Wisconsin was organ
lied as a territory, the civilized tribes Of
Indians living in Wisconsin were the
Brothertowns, the Stockbridges and the
Oneidas. The two former were located
on Lake Winnebago, in Calumet county.
By acts Of congress all the Brother
towns and a part of the Stockbridges
were made citizens of the United States.
The uncivilized Indians were the Potta-
watomies and the Winnebagoes.
We live in what was the Menomon
Indian country in 1885. At that time
they could muster at least 1000 war
riors. Now they are civilized. They
furnished many excellent soldiers for
the Union army, and that service accel-
Grated the civilization of the tribe. Prob
ably they could not now furnish over
800 men fit for military service.
The Chippewas diminish less rapidly,
but the Pottawatomies are nearly ex-
tinct in this state. The Winnebagoes
were sent to Nebraska, but several bands
returned and have homestead lands in
northwest Wisconsin. They do not pro-
gress much in the direction of civiliza-
tion.-Appleton wis., Crescent.

Where Iron Is Sacred.

Among the Baralongs. a great African
people, iron is a sacred object. They are
expert workers in metal, which they still
smelt from it's native ore by the most
primitive methods ever devised by man.
This art was to them in former days a
source Of wealth, influence and power
and the legend is that when people did
not know the value of the stones found
in their brooks a "wise man" saw a
vision. The spirit of his chief stood be-
side him and said, "Gather stones and
burn them to make spears" The sage
thought it was a dream and that the
chief was hungry, SO he sacrificed an OK.
But the vision returned, and the chief
looked sorrowful. He stood long time,
and at last said:
"My son, why do you not obey your
father? Go to the river, gather stones
and make a hot fire. After that you will
see iron with your eyes,"
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not re-
fuse. When he had made a hot fire, iron
came out of it, and then he knew the
chief had taken pity on his children. He
told his son the secret before he died,
but he was a vain coXcomb, and wish
ing to show his own wisdom made iron
in the presence of strangers, and so the
secret of the art was lost to his tribe,
but they have always continued to re-
gard iron as sacred above all other met
als.-MilliOn.

Merriment at a Funeral,

Merriment is regarded as out of place
at a funeral, yet an inhabitant of Mont
gaillard, who had been dubbed the mis-
anthrope" On account of his gloomy and
reserved disposition, inserted a clause in
his will to the effect that any of his rela-
lions who should presume to shed tears
at his funeral would be disinherited, and
on the other hand he who laughed most
heartily was to be his sole heir. He fur
ther gave directions that neither his
house nor the church vas to be hung
with black cloth on the day Of his burial,
but both were to be decorated with flow
ers and green boughs, while, instead Of
the melancholy tolling of bells, the cere-
mony was to be accompanied with,
drums, iddles and flies. There is rea-
SOL to believe that the funeral was con-
Quoted in exact accordance with these
peculiar instructions. Exchange.

AN UNUSUAL AN4sTHETIc.
A Dentist's Experience With a Woman and
an ching Tooth.

A Dentists Experience With a Woman and
an Aching Tooth.
The drummer had told q commercial
story, and the dentist, who had been ex-
tracing much pleasure therefrom, fol-
lowed with a professional yarn.
cat one time in my early practice in
a country town." he said, there came
to me a very nervous woman to have a
tooth extracted. She carried on so that
I could scarcely get her into the chair,
and as soon as | put the forceps near her
mouth she screamed and bounced
around SO / couldn't do anything with
her. After two or three visits, each
worse than the other, I suggested that l
take her to the nearest large town, where
a dentist administered gas. Well, the
tooth hurt her SO that at last she con-
sented, and I took her there, about 25
miles b: rail.
II went armed with a pair of forceps
as a matter of habit, and when we got
to the place and she saw the gas bag and
other appliances she had them again
worse than before, and I had to give it
up and take her back home. Twas thor
oughly provoked and felt like taking a
club to her, but she had money and was
paying for her f~oolishness, so I tried to
restrain my feelings. About 10 miles
out from town as the train was plugging
along about 90 miles an hour, and she
was holding her jaw and I was holding
mine, i'll the seat beside her, we struck a
broken rail, and the last thing l knew
we were rolling down an embankment
and being piled up at the bottom in a very
promiscuous fashion. 1 don't know how
it came about, but I wasn't hurt much,
and when my senses were fully restored
I dragged my patient out through a
window and laid her on a bank near by.
She was pretty badly bruised and had
been knocked senseless, and as I was en-
deavoring to restore her a brilliant
thought occurred to me. The next mo-
ment I had out my forceps, and the next
I had out the COMPOUNDED tooth. Two
hours later n of the physicians who
had been summoned had restored her to
consciousness, and as she opened her
eyes and saw me standing by her side
she clapped her hand to her jaw and ex-
claimed:
"'Oh, doctor. I knew it would be ter
rible, but I didn't think it would be so
bad as that. However, though, it is out
at last
"Then she went to sleep, and it was a
week before she knew the real facts in
the case"
did she pay you anything extra?"
queried the drummer d~oubtfully.

road company did-S5%, 000-and l got

Treatment For a ..wi1d HAIR"

A wild hair" is the most annoying
freak of nature a man can be afflicted
with. It grows in from the eyelid, in
stead of out, and constantly brushing
against the eyeball sometimes causes an
irritation that results in the loss of
sight. To pull it out gives only tempo
rary relief, since in few weeks it comes
back as well grown and strong as yer.
The only way to kill it is to destroy the
sac from which it springs. This is done
by means of the electric needle, which
is pressed into the sac and a current
turned on. A sharp prick is felt, and the
hair is forever dead.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

AL-AS!

A little thought of doubtful kin
Came housed himself my heart within,
And spied about, and furled his wings,
And tried my hearts long silent strings,
And to the sound he wakened there
l sang a song upon the air.
A song, and songs, and ever more
/ never san SO sweet before
Until Il whisper came and staid
The sweetest songs ! ever made,
And told me twas q very sin
Had made himself SO snug withinI
And so / took that busy sprite,
That was my helper and delight,
And drove him far before my fears
And cleansed his dwelling with my tears.
But since turned him out of door
/ sing my happy songs no more.
