The Indian as a Fighter.

the accounts of South African war

men. There is no uncivil;Zed people
on earth. no lace which is utterly ig-
norant OF what we call the science of
war. that can for minute compare
with the Indians as warriors. No
frontier general would think Of leading
his troops against a BODY of Indians
where the odds were greatly against
him. Why? Because the Indian is
naturally a fighter and marksman,
and because he has been quick to learn
what the white armies have taught
him in warfare.
Take that fight in which Sitting
Bull was killed. That was skirmish,
it's true, but it illustrates my point.
There were just sixteen men On each
side: the battle lasted not over five
minutes, and eight were killed on each
side. Those Indian scouts r de straight
through the camp of Sitting Bull and
engaged the old demon himself and
fifteen of his picked warriors in q
battle in which no man knew he h:d
moro than All even chance of surviving.
"I've seen them. They love to fight
Their ambition is to win glory in fight

fight. It's their only really arist'.
cratic business. They are physically
well qualified to fight: they know how

they get at it.

Deterioration OfPianOfOrte Keys.

The process Of discolorati9n in ivory
proceeds more rapidly when light and
air cannot get to it than when it is eX-
posed to their influence. This is espe-
cially the case in the keys OF a piano
forte. which often exhibit a distinctly
yellow hue. \ recent invention is de-
signed to prevent this discoloration,
and consists essentially in so construct
ing the casing of the keyboard that the
keys shall always be exposed to the
light and the atmosphere. Silvered
glass gathers and reflects the light Oh
the key board. to which the air also has
free access, and the inventor claims
that by this arrangement the attrac-
tiveness of the exterior o. the instru-
ment is greatly enhanced.
