botdened by Don Manuers apparent in
attention to his movements, he made a
SHORT run to cross an open place and
reach the top of the ridge.
Don Manuel was watching for lust
that movement, and his rifle went to
his shoulder and cracked instantly. and
the Apache rolled over with ball
through his body
Don Manuel then turned and beck
oned to young Armijo as if calling up a
party OF men. The Apaches in the
pass, hndlng that the delay had enabled
the pursuing party to approach within
less than half mile, attempted to
drive the mules forward. but the ami
mails got punched in narrow place
and all was confusion in an instant.
The Apaches could not get the herd
started, and the clatter of hoofs in the
pass told them that in another minute
Don Christobal would be upon them.
So they began shooting into the bunch
of mules. determined to do all the
damage possible by way of revenge for
the failure of their raid
When Don Manuel saw that he ran
into the woods and down into the pass,
and at short range began shooting at
the Indians. But those were the days

A few Apaches were killed in the

stunned by the fall and lay still for a
minute. which gave Chaves time to get
such a hold that when the horse got
up he was still in the saddle. He

paper whose purpose is to investi,
gate longevity in the interest of the in
surance companies has taken up the
subject of drink and its effect on life.
Life may be a questionable boon to
many, but it is a desirable thing to all.
If a man can be convinced that as a re,
suit of habitual excess the tenure of his
life is rendered unsafe or shortened; il
he has any reasoning power and will
remaining, he will be apt to call halt,
and to restrict or stop the habit which,
if persisted in, will lead to premature
death.
The doctor may warn and point to
the probable effect of intemperance
upon kidneys, liver, or heart, and the
patient may listen to his words and
think the doctor may be right, yet he
will keep on with his cups, because in
his case the habit has ripened into dis
case, and the use of alcohol becomes
actually essential to his comfort and a
necessity to his tortured nerves.
Where man is not too far gone
that is, where the habit has not be-
come a disease-he is apt to be more
affected by figures than by all the ar
guments of the doctors. The expert
ence of those who have studied the sub
ject with unbiased minds is that intern
perance is slow mode of suicide, vary
ing in its issue according to the consti-
tuition of the victim.
The most careful statisticians of the
United Kingdom have demonstrated
that where the alcohol habit is con-
tracted before the twentyffth year,
the period of life following is ten years;
where contracted after forty, eight
years, the intermediate years having
the same proportion. Strangely enough,
there is not one case of inebriety in a
thousand where the habit was con-
tracted after the forty-ffth year.
The theory that inebriety is largely
due to inheritance has long since been
exploded. AS matter of fact the ma
tions addicted to the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors through continued genera
tons have reached condition of i'm
munity that practically protects them
against its ravages, while people of
races not so trained are destroyed
by an amount of liquor that would
have no effect upon the English. French
or Germans. This is illustrated by the
destruction of our Indian tribes, and by
the like fate of the native races of
Polynesia who are being virtually
swept away by the Introduction of

THE MECHANISM OF THOUGHT
Singular Illusions Produced by the Sense
of Feeling.

A person shuts his eyes of his own
free will. We take his hand, we cross
the forefnger and the middle finger
one over the other, and between them
we slip little ivory ball. A singular
illusion Immediately arises. The per-
son believes he feels two distinct balls
And why? No doubt because under
ordinary conditions, when the fingers
are not crossed, one ball would not
simultaneously touch the right edge of
the foreinger and the left edge of tie
middle finger-two balls being neces-
sary to produce the double sensation.
Such is the experimental fact which
we all possess in our memory without
being conscious of it.
By an artificial arrangement of the
fingers one ball may produce these two
impressions, and the mind, not taking
into account this artificial disposition
of the fingers and interpreting the inn
pressions by the ordinary rules, arrives
at the illusion of touch which has just
been described. Nothing is simpler to
bring about than this illusion, because
the sensory impression from which it
is derived may be modified at WILL
without any necessity of speaking to
the subject under experiment. Is it
the same with an idea? Evidently not
For in order to communicate an idea
one must speak to a person, and make
ones self understood; so that as he be-
comes informed about the object of
ones inquiry illusion is impossible

In spite of this reassuring account of

FOR SLEEPLESS ONES.
Various Simple and Harmless Remedies
Alleged to Cure Insomnia.

Alleged to Cure Insomnia.
Do you lie awake at night and an
athematize the m an who first suggested
the connection between Sleepiness and
guilty consciences? Have you counted
all the clocks in the h ouse striking all
the hours of the night, at different
times? Have you tried to fix your
mind on something impersonal and
failed? And have you finally come to
the conclusion that there were many
arguments in favor of the chloral ha bit?
If you have done these things, of
course the indie ations are that you
need doctor. but it is not always con-
venient to summon a physician at 1
o'clock in the morning simply because
you can't sleep. 1t is better to read,
work and learn a few cures for in
somnia. which you may try over night
and see physician in the morning.
If you fear sleepl ess night undress
in the dark. Light stimulates and
| arouses the activities. Darkness is sup
| posed to produce dro wsiness. Put some
chopped ice in rubber bag and place
| it at the lower extremity of the spine
This is particularly quoting to the
nerves. Do not use anything except
rubber bag, oryou will surely have
damp cloth and rheumatism by morn
| ing.
Do not use a pillow. Relax every
muscle as far as it is possible. Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath
with tepid water just before going to
bed
Lie on your face instead of on your
| back. That is the way babies sleep,
and their methods are scarcely to be
improved upon in this particular. All
pressure is removed from the spine by
this means, and delicious feeling of
| restfulnesS ensues.
| Make up your mind that you want to
keep awake long enough to hear some
one come in or to outline the next days
work You will drop asleep immedi-
, ately.-Philadelph Times.

The Black Bear of North America.

The black bear Ursus American
u.s. is the most persistent of all our
large mammals in his refusal to be ex-
terminated. Because of the facts that
his senses are keen, his temper suspi-
cious and shy, and his appetite not at
all capricious, he hangs on in the heav-
lily wooded mountains, swamps and
densely timbered regions of North
America, generally long after other
kinds of big game have all been killed
or driven away. AS his name implies
he is jet black all over, except his nose.
and when his fur is in good condition it
is glossy and beautiful. His muzzle.
from his eyes down to the edge of his
upper lip, is either dull yellow or dingy
white, and sometimes-pa1tic ularly in
Alaska-he has a white spot on his
breast According to locality and
climate, the hair of the black bear may
be short and close, as in the south, or
long and inclined to shagginess, though
not so much so as the grizzly's. Very
often his coat will be abundantly thick
and of good length. but so even on the
outside and so compact that he looks ,
if he had been gone over by the scissor s
and comb of skllful barber. So far
as have seen neither the grizzly nor
cinnamon ever has that appearance. In
the north, where his furry coat is
finest, it is now eagerly sought by the
furriers, and the standard price for a
large skin of good quality is S25, The
ladies prize it for mutfs and collars, and
the carpet warrior and the bandmaster
love to have it tower heavenward from
their warlile brows as a shako.-W. L.
Hornaday, in st. Nicholas.

THE BENGALiS,
Hindus Who Will Fight and Those Who
Will Not Fight.

Will NOu right
The population of India may be di-
vided into two classes, those who have
and those who lack courage and the
power to fight. In Europe all nations
belong to the former class, but there
are in India whole nations and castles
which, with occasional individual ex-
ceptions, are completely devoid of ply
steal courage. OF these. the Bengalis
are the most conspicuous; among others
are the Banias, or trading caste, in
Northern India. The proofs of this are
ample.
About the year 1900 A. D.. Bengal
yielded without blow to handful of
Mohammedan invaders, and from that
day to the present the Hindus of Ben
gal have made no single effort to shake
off the yoke of alien rule. There are
no Bengali soldiers in the Indian army
Even in the police of Calcutta, the
headquarters of the race, out of two
thousand men there are only one hun
bred and sixty Bengalis. Their repu-
tation for timidity is universal through
Crt--ehe population of Upper India.
They make no secret of it themselves
In discussion held on December 81 Il,
1892, in the senate of the Calcutta uni
versity, on a scheme for promoting
physical training among the students,
Bengali titular rajah ended a speech
with the following words: 1--WE Ben
gals are peaceful-if you like, an eff
Terminate race. Manliness, physical ex-
cellence, is not thing we prize. God
gave us brains instead; we are content
to use them, and leave the development
of thew and sinew to others" Now, it
is possible that, as learned gentleman
of this nation argued, the so-called
virtue of courage is relic of barbarous
times, and not essential to the modern
type of ideal manhood. But, unfortu-
nately, India contains a number of
powerful races, holding shocking medi-
aeval ideas on this subject, as the fol-
lowing anecdote will show:
An Englishman was talking about
the Bengalis to the son of the Indian
commander-in-chief of the army of a
very powerful Hindu prince. The old
man was present, but took no part in
the conversation. which was conducted
in English. At last he broke in, and
said: Il don't know what you're talk
ing about, but hear the word Ben
gall frequently used, Now, | never
could understand why the British gov
eminent made so much of the Bengali.
1t seems to me the British Raj is moth
ing but the gloriication of the Bengali.
Now, give me leave to say what would
do if the British army We're withdrawn
1 would take couple of my regiments
of cavalry-no, one regiment would be
enough-and there wouldn't be four
anna bit or virgin left in the whole of
Bengal. National Review.
