and H-ps.~-
There is an old story Of an Indian and
pale face who. after long dav'.
journey. lay down in a deserted cabin
at nightfall to rest The Indian wrap-
ped himself in his blanket. stretched
himself on the floor of the cabin. with
has feet tn the fire, and was soon asleep.
HIS companion. meantime. had eSpied
a feather bed in another room. and.
eongratulatiEx himself on his discov-
cry. jumped in. and was also soon in
doze.
With the first rays Of the morning
light the Indian rose refreshed. and
ready for the days task. lie went to
arouse his eOmrade. vshen 10. he found
him dead from the exhaustion of the
previous day.
The tendency of the body to CRAWL
tate toward the lowest part of feath-
er bed IS beyond remedy.
In this position the whole body /.
often so curled up that no one mart is
free from construction. The ches,
walls are caved in. and the whole body
suffers from the consequent lack Of
proper oNygenation of the blood and
the restriction which is placed upon its
general circulation. The blood moves
sluggishly, and as a result the condi-
ton of fat and fabby- is superin-
dueed.
This condition is never likely L. fol-
low the constant use of firm hair mat
tress- for the blood has no chance to
get dropsical from too sluggish a circu-
lation.
Perfect physical repose. like perfect
physical activity, is dependent upon a
proper equilibrium of the bodily func.

TEA GROWING IN JAPAN.
Valuable Plants which Are Reared Under
Covers of Mating,

In the twelfth century Kvoto was tn.
center of life in Japan. and the district
of [ j. between that city and Nara, has
always kept its reputation for produc-
ing the finest tea. The most valuable
leaves are those on the young spring
shoots. Most of the shrubs grow in
the open air without any protection.
evergreen bushes from two to three
feet high, and among them the women
and children were at work. As they
squatted by the plants filing their
baskets very little of them was wish

the sun. looking like crop of gigan-
tic mushrooms. The Japanese "kasa"

umbrella tied to the head, as a protec-
ton against sun and rain; in the even

and the laborers wear only their cotton
kerehief- spread out like hood. or tied
in band round their brows. Though
il can not be called the vast hat the
traces made il Is, nevertheless, very
effective in the landscape. and the
variations of its outline in different
positions indicate happily the action
of its wearer- The plants which pro-
duce the most expensive teas. costing
from six TO eight dollars a pound. are
carefully protected by mats stretched
on framework of bamboo. so that
the tender leaves may neither be
seorched by the sun or torn bv
the heavy rains. aud there are
acres of them so inclosed. II was =

hill TO another, its surface only broken

Another day passed, and then de-
taehment of United States cavalry
arrived from Date creek, supported by
a company of Indian scouts, and took
up the well-deined trail. which led
eastward over unexplored mountain
ranges. They found where the rene
gades al their next hating place had
killed and eaten the other of SWANS
mules. and, as before, had consumed it
entire, leaving nothing but the clean
picked bones; and the next day they
fell in with a strong scouting party
from Fort Mcdowell, who had heard
from Camp Verde that some Indians
had escaped from the reservation. and
had been sent out u intercept them
The two parties so opportunely met
Joined forces forthwith, and late that
afternoon the scouts brought In word
that their quarry had gone into camp
short distance ahead OF the column.
Il is probable that the maranding
party had sent back spies for the first
day or two. and thus learning that
they were not being followed-for the
troops did not take the trail until the
third day after their departure-they
had grown careless and relaxed their
vigilance. By the waters OF a crystal
spring. in a deep, secluded valley,
walled by high mountains. the muir
derers had chosen their resting place.
They had butehered the large gray
horse ridden by Mcdonald. their third
victim. and were feasting and making
merry in fancied security The bucks
were lying around at their ease, with
out their arms. while the squaws
roasted great hunks of flesh at the
camp fires and waited on their lords
Silently the stern-faced troops closed
IN around them. and at a signal volley
after roley was poured into them
from every side. There was no chance
of escape Panic-stricken. they rushed
to and fro within the circle Of beIch-
ing nane and smoke In a few min
ures all was over. Their little pleas
