leaders of the latter tribe, including
Geronimo, were, after their last memoir

are now in Alabama.
1t is reported that the secretary of
war proposes to remove Geronimo to
Tennessee. Geronimo, by the way, is
said to be Mexican, being captured
when he was small child. His earliest
recollections were of finely-dressed peo-
pie in large and Observation-Disclosures

well as military leader. Mongas Col

most powerful leader, and caused our
government the most trouble by using
the same tactics-buying our Indian
scouts to betray us, and it finally re-
quired the aid of other Apache tribes
and Mexicans to overcome the Chiri-
cahuas. The remnants of this tribe.

of government troops could be utilized,
and they were not used in the fight.
The Indians were driven into Mexico
over the rocky and steep defiles of
the Sierra Madre mountains, followed
through the woods and sandy deserts
by the friendly Apaches. Arriving in
Mexico they met another enemy, and
between the Mexican soldiers and the
friendly Apaches the Chiricahuas were
almost decimated, Victorio dying at
the head of his command, under the
black flag of the tribe. The war
weapon of the Chiricahua is lance
and shield. reserving his powder and
paleface firearms for hunting pur-
poses. Their costume is about as
primitive as that of the Living Pic
lures" not long ago exhibited in some
of the New York places of amusement.
The chief is distinguished by head
dress in the shape of bonnet, orna-
mented with three hawk feathers.
The best scouts are found in this tribe.
They crawl through the grass as a
snake, and to prevent themselves from
being tracked make their way through
dense woods by jumping from limb to
limb on the trees, and wading up
shallow streams for miles. In this
campaign the government had many
Chiricahua spies who reported their
movements. We also had Yuma and
Mojave Apaches among them who
gained their confidence by reporting
that they had been captured by gov
eminent troops and had escaped. These
scouts participated in the grand war
dance on the evening preceding the
outbreak, and like snakes escaped in
the da rkness by crawling through the
grass and chaparral until they reached
our fort.
The Indian trailers and scouts are
not encountered with baggage and
clothing as our paleface scouts. They
wear very little more clothing than that
worn by our first parents in the Garden
of Eden before the appearance of
Satan. They are 1.-THE, why, have re-

an average speed of eight miles an hour
on foot, going in a kind of a jog trot,
or in what soldiers would call double

tilities are at an end, these Indian
scouts will not be needed. Otherwise
they will be needed badly. No others
can supplant them.
Among the several military posts in
the west that the government contem-
plates abandoning is that at the San
Carlos agency, in the southwestern
part of Arizona, on the San Carlos
river. This is oneof the largest agencies
in the west, and for years the govern
ment has been collecting the Apache
bands at this pointand settling them
upon agricultural lands. At this point
are large numbers Of the Yuma, Mojav,
San Carlos, Sierra Blanco and Tonic
Apaches, and few Chiricahuas. The

ADefense of Hot Bread.

So much has been said and written
about the unhealthiness of eating hot
bread that it's lovers will be comforted
to know that the doctors do not all
talk the same way about it. DIR.
Troitzki, writing to Russian medical
journal, says that after careful exam
nation he has found that new and I'M
cut bread contains no nitro-organisms,
as the heat necessary to cook the bread
has destroyed them all. After bread has
been cut and allowed to stand around
for awhile it quickly collects bacteria,
as it is an excellent medium for them
to thrive on. Wheat bread, he thinks,
gathers bacteria faster than rye, as the
latter has more acidity. Now all peo-
pie who love hot bread can eat it with
the comfortable feeling that, while il
may not be quite as digestible as stale
bread, it is free from the bacteria,
which are making the world so uncom-

Cucumber Salad In Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find a way to
enjoy them fresh out of season by fol-
lowing this German recipe to preserve
them: Take as many medium-sized GU
cumbers as you wish and pare and slice
them as if for salad and then salt them
well and after leaving them in the salt
a few hours the salt and liquid are
squeezed out of them with a clean
white cloth. Then take a quantity of
finely-cut onions and peppercorn and
mix them well into the cucumber. Put
the whole into a large stone jar and
pour over it the best white wine vim
egar. and on top two inches of good
salad oil; cover the top of the jar with
a bladder. During the whole winter
the cucumber remains fresh and good
When necessary add little more vim
egar, and always leave two inches of
oil at the top. Cucumber salad made
from the vegetable thus prepared is
said to be almost equal to its use in
the fresh state.

will be found desirable size for the

table and overlap it with sheets of cot
ton wadding. literally sprinkled with
sachet powder. Finally cover the cot
ton with a second yard OF cheese cloth,
turn in the edges and haste them to-
handed or stitched about on the ma
chine. The entire coverlet should then
be basted through and through to hold
the cotton in place.
A circle, a square or a diamond, in
ample size, should next be cut in paper
as pattern. Decide somewhat the
nature of the design. keeping in mind
that it must be sufficiently intricate to
serve as quilting for the coverlet-
A row of circles overlapping each
other across the top and bottom of the
coverlet is effective, with Baby"

the center. 1t is simple work to fol-
low out the basted pattern with daisy
ribbon, sewed firmly down to hold the
cotton inside in place. The last yard
of cheese cloth is utilized as a rufde
for the edge. This frill should be
three inches deep, made double, and
the fuller it is the jauntier when set
about the coverlet. A single row or
several of daisy ribbon will hide the
stitches that join the ruffle to the Gov
erlet. These ribbons may be tied in
little bow-knots at the four corners.

This information, disappointing as
it was, produced a marked change in
Calicot. His nervous anxiety gave
place to grim look of concentration
and he grew visibly paler every day.
The intelligence that he received in
three days, through Miss Endicott,
amazed and excited him in spite of his
self-control. He learned that Hen
bricks had captured the gunboat. He
had to get at the facts of the case from
separate information and from Hem
bricks orders, but he learned enough
to convince him that the commander
in the boat had been led into negli-
gence by not finding human soul in
the vicinity, and a force of his men
had been surrounded and captured in
the wood, and party sent to their re-
lief had been overwhelmed. 1t was a

icai Beauty and Strength.
An eminent physician has said that
If the following three simple move
ments are executed vigorously every
day for twenty minutes the effect in
years time will be very apparent. Be-
fore going down to breakfast. open
wide the window and for ten minutes
go through the following exercises:
First, stand perfectly straight. with
heels together, and initiate the lungs
with the pure morning air, drawing in
counted and expelling in the same
way. Repeat this eight or ten times.
Then bring the arms forward at full
length with the palms together and
then throw them vigorously back. try
ing to touch the backs. AT fret it will
seem impossible. but after few days
practice it can be done.
Do this from twenty-five to fifty
times, then raise the arms above the
head to the utmost. with the palms
outward, and then lean slowly for
ward, keeping the knees perfectly
straight. and try to touch the ground
with the fingers. This, too. requires
practice at first, but can be done after
awhile. Then raise the arms gradually
to the first position and repeat the
movement twenty-five to fifty times.
At night go through the same move
ments. This simple little exercise, If
persisted in, will prove to be of meal
culable benefit and restore young peo-
pie to perfect health when medicine
has failed to bring about the desired
result.
