The inside of tepee would interest the
average visitor to the show, but visitors
can with no more reason expect to see the
quarters of the braves than they may ask
to be shown in the dressing.rooms of the
actors and actresses in q theatre. To see
Colonel Cody's tent and then to visit
tepee twenty-five feet away is to be able
to compare the quarters Of modern gen.
eral with the refuge of Celtic outlaw in
the seventeenth century. BY just so
much have we advanced; by justso much
has the Indian stood still. In Buffalo
Bills tent the size a small farmhouse
we see the space divided into rooms. We
see telephone, curtains, bric.a-brac, car
pets, pictures, desks, lounges, easy-chairs,
an ornate buffet, refrigerator, and all
the furnishings of cozy home. In the
best tepee we see a circular board floor
(it should be of dirt within a ring of
canvas. On sheet of metal are the
smouldering embers of the fire that makes
tepee at once a home and chimney
Forever seated with their backs 10 the
canvas and their feet to the fire are the
Indians, the leader exactly opposite the
door flap and the women close beside it,
enjoying Indian "wOmen's rights" which
are the rights to do everything that man
refuses to do. Rolled up and stuffed
around the edges of the tent, in bundles
are the belongings Of the family. Like
Caesars ashes they "serve to keep the wind
away" A young brave is painting his
bare legs bright yellow with factory-made
watercolor. A little boy is admiring his
painted face in broken bit of mirror
The adults are sitting, stolidly as if they
were stunned, around the circle, and
tender baby propped up against the tent
side is looking even more grave than its
parents, rejecting, perhaps, that it wants
10 cry, but that Indian babies commit the
objectionable sin when they do that, and
that they get cuffed and grunted at, which
is worse. If any of the Indian men un-
derstand any English it is very little, and
it has got in their heads precisely as water
gets on cats against their will

Sinking of the Delta.

The reported settling at the rate of six
inches per century of the region of the
Mississippi river delta is a matter which,
if confirmed, may well enlist some inter-
est. 1t is not at all unusual for the sur
face of the earth in places to thus yield
to a slow and sometimes to rapid sub;
sidence, but it is only along water lines
that mark the ocean level that these va
riations are so noticeable. A large area
of inland country might depress several
feet, and if the depression were uniform
as to hills, valleys, plains, ravines, ETC., it
would not be noticeable because of no
standard of comparison. If the region
in the vicinity of New Orlsans is sinking
at the rate Of one and halt inches in
twenty-five years, this does not seem much,
and yet a time may come in the not very
remote future when the waters of the gulf
will wash her present floors. So far as
the effect is felt, it does not much matter
whether this is brought about by the abb
solute subsideuce of the lands or the slow
elevation beyond their former level of the
waters, as a very slight change in the
earths centre of gravity would suffice for
the latter. 1t may be possible that the
deposition of such an immense amount Of
alluvium as the river carries down and
deposits on the Gulf floor, displaces a
bulk of water of less weight, might grad
ually dinge down the earth's crust at that
point, and is also possible that the serious
'fault" in the rock structure up in the
New Madrid region, and which resulted
in the "sunken country" during the re-
markable earthquake of 1S1l-12, may
extend to the Gulf and be lying in wait
for future mischief Had the present
sunken region been populous during the
ninety days of trembling and billowy un-
dulation, when the forest trees interlock-
ed, the calamity to human life and prop
erty would have been most appalling

The appendicitis Fad.

A prominent doctor who has performed
score of successful operations for the
removal of that troublesome and inexpli
cable part of the human anatomy, the
vermiform appendix, says that the gener'
al impression that appendicitis is caused
by the presence in the appendix of a
cherry stone or currant seed or a seed
of any kind is entirely erroneous.
81 have not found a seed in the appen-
dix of a single one of my cases." he said.
ga small bit of digested matter gets
into the little sac, if the neck of it is open
far enough to receive it. 1t may remain
there for years and cause no trouble, and
then again it may bring on appendicitis
almost Immediately. Where the patient
is in good health, in four cases out of five
the operation for removing the appendix
is successful. There is great difference
in the length of time taken by surgeons
TO perform this or, in fact, any delicate
operation. There is one surgeon in the city
who has performed the operation in eigh-
teen minutes, which included the time
from the moment the patient was brought
on the operating table until he was ready
to be taken out. This is half the time
that it requires the majority of skilled
surgeons to do it. OF course speed is not
everything.
"The appendicitis fad, as the craze
among the people who have their vermi-
form appendices removed is called, still
continues unabated, and there are few
surgeons of prominence now who are not
familiar with the performance of the
operation. A story is told of doctor
who is constantly ordering the removal of
the vermiform appendix for patients
He was called to see a gentleman one
evening who had been rather seriously in
jured. The gentleman, when he recog-
nized the doctor, said
"'Oh, it is you then | must have ap-
pendictis =
doctors who have allowed the appen-
dicitis fad to carry them away have per-
formed the operation upon great many
people whose vermiform appendices were
in good condition, and in some cases pa
tients having weak constitutions have
died because of the needless slit in their
abdomcns. / am very glad to explode
that story about the grape seeds and 9TH
er seeds, especially as the grape season is
just coming od. People who have heard
about appendicitis have given up the lux
ury of small fruit in fear of appendicitis
and some of the extremely sensitive ones
have even been constantly worried lest
some seed that they have swallowd in the
past might give them this disease-which
is among the rarest diseases anyway" =

hurrles back with the expectation OF uln'
ing on tigrero, and he does not hesitate
to let the tigrero know that he is coming
He roars at every bound he makes, and
the roar is enough to scare to death the
biggest bear that ever lived in the Kittle
Creek country or parts adjacent.
"At the first roar of the jaguar the IL
greros stand still and wait for him. The
dogs, having done all that was required
of them in notifying the jaguar that a
couple of tigreros were looking for him,
lie down and go to sleep, and the jaguar
might step all over them for all they'd
care.
CAS- soon as the tigreros see the jaguar
the hunter with the long spear kneels
down. He thrusts the long spear straight
out with one hand and holds the short
one in the other hand. His companion
stands near him with the chopping knife
or cIeaver raised. The iaguar doesn't
know anything about spears or cleavers.
All he sees in the situation is pair Of
greasy Indians whom he expects to feast
on. He doesn't even pause on his way,
but when within twenty-five or thirty feet
of the tigreros he lifts himself from the
earth by one mighty bound, and shoots
like a meteor through the air upon his
supposed victim. The iaguar ninety-nine
times out of hundred springs with his
forelegs wide apart, with his great breast
fully exposed. As he flies through the
air he thrusts his immense claws from
their velvet sheaths, and hooks them
ready to tear to pieces instantly the OBJ
ject he strikes.
"But it is seldom he sinks these claws
in tigrero. The wary and agile Indian
hunter rarely fails to impale the fierce
beast on his long spaer, the lance being
held so that it strikes the jaguar's breast
and comes out between its shoulders.
"If by some mishap the long spear fails
in its work the short one is buried as
quick as q flash in the animals throat,
and is aimed with such precision that the
jugular vein is almost always severed the
first time. If both spears are of no avail
against the jaguars savage assault the
gentleman with the cleaver takes a hand
in and buries his keen and heavy blade
in the beasts brain. Then the tigreros
call the dogs. and the dogs slnneh lazily
up and smell and sniff at the dead jaguar.
But neither growl nor give evidence of
any resentment toward the big foe.
"By killing the jaguar the Indians
have earned the government bounty of
fifty cents. They are satisfied and they
