THE INDIAN AS A FIGHTER.
Born to Fight, Glories In Fighting and
VIII and Can Flight.

Born to Fight, Glories In Fighting and
VIII and Can Fight,
"The Indian is the most vicious
fighter on EARTH" said Major Barbour,
late press agent of the worlds fair, but
q former plainsman, to the Washing
ton Post. "You read in the accounts
of the South African war where a hun
dred or two Englishmen go ont and
whip 5000 or 10, 900 black men. There
is no uncivilized people on earth. no
race which is utterly ignorant Of what
We call the science of war, that can for
a minute compare with the Indians as
warriors. No frontier general would
think of leading his troops against q
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 wa a 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 rode straight
through the camp of Sitting Bull and
engaged the old demon himself and ff-
teen of his picked warriors in u battle
in which no man knew lie had more
than an even chance of surviving.
I've seen them. They love to fight.
Their ambition is I o win glory in
fighting. Their traditions urge them
on 20 fight. It's their only really aris-
tocratic business. They are ply ,ically
well qualified to fight; they know how,
and You can bet they do 1ght when
they get at it."

An Oversight.

There was one oversight at the Great
Exposition at Chicago in not having in full
view. by easy arrangement. some compar-
alive vital statistics OF our own general
health US compared with other nations,
and of our scientific facilities for the relief
OF human suffering. Then 1t would have
appeared how much we are misrepresented
and how, even in all those minor Ills which
beset mankind, we are masters of cure and
alienation. In the line of general all
ments which al nations have In common,
such as rheumatic or neuralgia Affections,
there Is no prompt and permanent cure In
the world the equal OF what we could have
shown. St Jacobs OIL. for instance, for
this purpose, would have takenAany pre-

any demonstration of tho French
national spirit, and. though the chill

The following two stories show the
extent 10 which the government
formerly carried its practice of watch
ing The people:
A few years ago a little girl was seen
playing with II doll which was dressed
i'll red, white and blue. The suspicious
OF the official were aroused, for 1t was
certainly dreadful to see tho power OF
the German empire 30 badly threaten

and there the official found that the
doll was a present.
He went Immediately to the lady
who had given it to the child and OBJ

the dangerous plaything had beer
bought. 1t was a modest little placs.
but the officer found it at last mud then
discovered that tho doll had been made
and dressed in Leipsig.
This was q great surprise, but the
matter did not end here, for the manu-
facturer in Leipsig was officially re.
quested not to send any more red, white
and blue dolls to Alsace.

it full conviction of its truth but it Ii

at the illustration of one of them.
While tossing the portion of food in the

the bee is a tube which runs to the re-

which this poison issues is too small

this sting is the fact that along it's SUR

THE degree of perfection attained

tho Pittsburg Dispatch. I'm almost
every line Of mechanical inve n ions
you see faults and difficulties overcome
which make It seem nearly impossible
to advance further. Viewed in this
light the im~perfections in the construc-
ton of our railroad car trucks are
strangely inconsistent, for they are pail
pably at variance with our high attain
ment In mechanical construction. I re.
Ter to the custom, which has never been
improved upon since railroading be-
gan. OF using wheels securely fastened
to rigid axIes. 1t would seem that, on
such an all important matter as this,
some improvements would be made,
but there has been none. The running
gear of cars, as now constructed. is
only adapted for straight tracks. But
As there must be curves on roads, the
trucks are simply forced around them.
1t 10 said that it requires one third
more motive power to carry q train
around an ordinary curve than on a
straight track. This is Tue to the strain to
which the wheels are subjected. In
making a curve the outside track is
longer than the inside one. Now with
Q wheel On zach track and fastened i'm.
movably to an axle. both wheels must
make the same number Of revolutions.
In rounding a curve how is the inside
wheel, which has a much shorter dis
lance to travel, to make an equal num-.
Der OF revolutions with the outside
wheel? 1t is done in this way. The
inside wheel slips upon the inner or
shorter rail, while the outside one Gov
ers the longer distance. At the same time
the inclination Of the track required in
making curves throws most of the load
upon the wheel that is slipping, caus-
ing a great strain upon both wheel and
axle. 1t has been computed. that this
strain is equal to double that of the
rolling pressure on a straight track.
To meet this the nxle is made much
thicker between the wheels than at the
journals, where all the weight Of the
car and load is carried. Though it has
been long coming l think the day will
finally dawn when these defects in car
trucks will be overcome"

saw is used by the fly in cutting a place

length of the one in the illustration
being about one-sixteenth OF an inch),
deposits her eggs in the slit and leaves
them to hatch out into maggots, which
