AN ARAPAHoE's MEAL.
The Indians Appetite Held Out Long
as the Meat Lasted.

The Indians Appetite Held Out as Long
as the Meat Lasted.
For feats of downright big eating I'll
back the North American Indian against
the world" said Colorado man. Il re-
call in particular an Arapahoe Indian who
visited our camp by the Fontaine qui
Bouille river one night We had killed a
buffalo calf that day-a good sized fat
calf or months old-and having
skinned and dressed the carcass had
hung it up on a wagon pole. We had
carved enough off one shoulder to go aloE,'
with mountain trout, bacon, bread and
coffee for our party of four at supper. The
rest of the meat was all there. The Indian
came riding up after we had eaten, and he
looked pretty tired and empty. He had
evidently travelled long way with little
to eat, for he was dusty, haggard and
thin as shoestring, and there was no
doubt when he asked by signs for food
that he wanted it badly. He pointed to
the buffalo calf, and with his knife he cut
off some slices of meat, laid them on the
embers, and as soon as they were little
scorched ate them ravenously and began
again with the calf.
He was still cutting and cooking meat
and eating when we went off to Sleep and,
so far as we could tell, he spent the entire
night in that occupation, for whenever
one or another of us woke up enough to
look around the Indian was either cutting
at the calf or eating by the fire. When we
turned out in the morning. we found that
all that was left of that buffalo calf was
its skeleton hanging from the pole. The
Indian had not carved away its joints and
ribs, as white man would have done, but
had hacked the meat off in small pieces
till all was gone.
The Indian looked like another per-
son. His all night feed had fattened him
up so that he looked we'll filled out, and he
moved about with a different air. He
greeted our rising with How, and sat
stolidly by the fire until one of US gave
him tin cup of coffee, which he took
with another How While we were at
breakfast he mounted his horse and slipped
away so silently that we scarcely noticed
his going. "-Chicago Times.

Hunting the Giraffe.

The bush is horribly dense and thorny,
and tho thorns are of such a nature that
the strongest cord brooches can scarcely
withstand their assaults. The old giraffe
bulls, with hides nearly an inch thick,
care for no thorn in the forest and plunge
through the armed thickets as though they
were black currant bushes. There is only
one thing to he lone--to forget the sickle
thorns and follow them. The spurs go in,
the gallant pony springs forward, and the
chase begins. 1t is truly headlong. Crash
go the tail giants, their long necks rising
and falling rhythmically, their heads
sometimes bending low to escape bough
which all but scrapes the withers
Ii is wonderful how such monstrous
game can evade branches and tack this
way and that among the interruptions
and obstacles of the forest. 1t is a tough
gallCJ indeed, but in ten minutes the
hunter has driven his pony right up to
the tail of the nearest bull and from the
saddle has fred his shot. He falls behind
n little, then closes up and fires again.
Bo;h bullets, planted close to the root Of
the tail, have plowed deep into the short
body of the giraffe and done their work.
The painted giant falters, sways and then
in an instant falls crashing to earth, car
rying with him in his ruin stout sapling.
Dark chestnut of coat-almost black
with ago upon the back-this old bull,
measuring 10 feet from hoof to the tip Of
the false horns, forms a noble prize in
deed As he lies there in the long yellow
grass he looks, surely, the strangest of all
survivals of the fauna of the dark ages,
priceless and pathetic relic left to the
modern world by the ravages of time

Welding Metals.

An elaborate account is given in the
Bulletin de academic Royale de Belgique
of Springs remarkable researches in the
welding of metallic bodies by simple pres
sure at temperatures far below their fus-
ing point The metals were put in the
shape of cylinders bounded by plane sur
faces, great care being taken as to their
purity, and having been mounted in a
stirrup and pressed together by means of
a hand screw they were placed in heat
ing oven and kept at constant tempera-
ture between 200 degrees and 400 degrees
for from to 12 hours. The most perfect
joints were produced with gold, lead and
tin, and the worst with bismuth and anti
mony. Two cylinders thus welded to-
gether could be put in a lathe, one of them
only being held in the chuck, while the
other was being worked upon by cutting
tool, without coming apart. They could be
separated with the aid of pinchers, but then
a rough breakage was produced which did
not coincide with the original plane of
separation. 1t appeared that the more
crystalline the bodies the less do they ex-
hibit this phenomenon of incipient lique-
faction, which begins to show in the case
of platinum, for instance, at 1, 900 degrees
below its fusing point, and that such
liqucfaction or softening actually takes
place was proved by cutting delicate
spiral 0.2 nm. deep on the end surface Of
a piece of copper weighing $50 grams and
placing it upon a sheet of mica. After
keeping 1t at 400 degrees for eight hours
the spiral had entirely disappeared.

aGirl Wanted"

The new song, Girl Wanted caused
trouble in music store tho other day.
Early in the morning young lady came
in and asked for position. She was fol-
lowed by another and another, until by
noon 10 girls had applied for places. The
proprietor was amazed at the run of girls,
for there was no vacancy in his force of
clerks The afternoon brought a fresh re-
lay of girls. There were big girls and lit
tie girls, short girls and tall girls, fat girls
and thin girls, and girls in with home
made compilations and blondined hair
Finally the proprietor thought he was the
victim of practical joke, and he fairly
Numbered at the last maiden, who said in
timid tones:
wish filled.
by thunder, miss" he roared, There
hasn't been a vacancy in this store for six
months. No one has died, got married or
run away 1 don't want a girl, and I'm
tired of this nonsense You can go to the
fool who sent you here and tell him So"
The maiden opened wide her china blue
eyes.
We'll, if you don't want a girl, and I'm
sure no decent girl would want to work
for such a crank she sputtered, you d
better remove the sign from the window. 1"
Then she tlounced out muttering some
thing about there being asylums for luna
tics.
The proprietor went out front and look
ed at his window. There in big letters was
the title page of the new song, Girl

The Cribbing Horse.

Crib biting in horses may be termed
dental disease, inasmuch as it affects the
front teeth Having fixed the jaws, sud
den and more or less involuntary contrac-
ton of the muscles of the lower part of
the neck takes place, a clucking or belch-
ing sound is heard The horse performs
the act alone and undisturbed in a cool,
deliberate way, as if he enjoyed it, and by
imitation the other horses will learn the
same trick. Support on a fixed point is
essential for the performance of this act.
The height Of the manger is important.
If it is too high or even low, the act can
not be performed. On the ground it can
not be done, nor yet when the horse is ly-
ing down. There is some variety in the
manner in which it is carried out by differ
ent horses. but the appearance of tho in
cisor teeth affords good, reliable evidence
Of it's existence. Feeding from nosebag
will prevent it, or the use of a throat strap
or muzzle. If seen in the early stages be-
fore the habit is confirmed, passing fine
tooth saw between the incisors will often
cure this Objectionable vice.-Horseman.

OF Junot one of Napoleon's most gal
liant but most unmanageable generals
his stormy disposition won him the nick
name of Tempest" as a boy at school
innumerabIc anecdotes of courage and au-
dacity are related. The most famous is
doubtless that of the bomb which burst
close by as he was writing a dispatch for
Napoleon and spattered the paper with
earth.
''Goodr' cried Junot, laughing. II had
no sand to dry the ink-here comes some!'
1t is usually related that this was the
first incident which attracted Napoleon's
attention to him, but indeed they had first
met and Junot had impressed the future
emperor with some idea of his qualities,
several days before. 1t was at Toulon,
when Napoleon was a young officer and
Junot simple sergeant. Some one was
needed to carry an order to an exposed
point, task of such danger as to require
u messenger at once exceptionally brave
and intelligent, and Junot was recon-
mended by his officers as a suitable person.
"Tako off your uniform and carry this
order there, said Napoleon, pointing to
the spot.
The young sergeant colored hotly and
replied with Indignation:
Il am rot spy! Find some one beside
me TO execute such an order"
You refuse to obey?" asked Napoleon.
Il am ready to obey" was the reply,
but will so in my uniform or not go at
all. 1t is honor enough then for those ras-
cally Englishmen!'
Pleased with his spirit, the general
laughed and allowed him to 60 as he was,
in all the conspicuous trapping of his
snowy uniform, asking his name OF an
officer as he set off.
He ran the gauntlet with the message
and returned unframed, and Napoleon,
who had hawks eye for the markings of
a great soldier, never lost sight of him
afterward.-Youth's Companion.

A Mathematical Dog.

weighs about $50 pounds. Nero is an I'M
usually intelligent dog. He has a great
head for mathematics and can add, sub

enter a room. Then let half the number
depart, and Nero will notify his master by

Nero has notified his master of the num-

Supply and Demand.

AS rule, the relic seeker does a great
deal of damage to historical sites and
places of interest but it seems that it is
sometimes possible to meet his demand
without doing any harm.
A Washington paper says that recently,
as lady who had been standing before
the tomb of the Father of His Country at
Mount Vernon turned to go away, she
stopped furtively and picked up pebble.
She intended to carry 1t away with her.
Perhaps the foot of Washington had
pressed this very pebble As she started
away she saw a workman approach with
a wheelbarrow load of gravel, which he
proceeded to dump on the very spot.

workman.

weeks, SOS the tourists can have some

The length of time for practice must de-
pend upon the health and the circum-
stances surrounding the pupil. As much
time as possible should be given to daily
practice and two hours at least should be
devoted to that purpose. The best time of
day is in the morning, as the mind is freer
and the body in a refreshed condition.
Difficulties are attacked with more cour-
age and their intricacies more easily COM
pretended and overcome then than in the
later part of the day. Practice amounts to
very little if the body and mind are tired
Persistence i'll practice under these condi-
tiOnS-through a mistaken sense of duty

Ice and Typhoid Fevers.
A great deal of discussion has been pro-
voked by the use of ice in typhoid fever.
The new fad is to pack the patient in ice
for given number Of minutes, when the
| packing must be removed, to be replaced
| again at given time Because a few pa
| tents have recovered the ice enthusiasts
are in high glee, and there is reason to
| apprehend that this method of treatment
may become popular among general practi-
| TONERS. Because the victim has survived
the efficacy of this form of handling can
| scarcely be said to have become established.
| The human organism is in some instances
so tenacious of life that it will resist al
most every abuse, and this is about the
| last extreme to which the body can be
| subjected. Violent shocks and extreme
measures are to DO deprecated in all cases,
and in none more than this, when the sys-
| tom is struggling against such fearful odds
| to dislodge the millions of bacilli that have
fastened upon it. 1t has been demonstrate
| ed beyond the possibility of doubt that
| the use of tepid water inside of the body
| as we'll as outside will relieve the patient
| and give nature chance to build up
again the destroyed material. But this is
| too simple 1t furnishes no food for
| speculation and is too easy. Typhoid fever
certainly can be speedily washed out of
the system by tepid water and will leave
| no after consequences, but the ice treat
ment adds to rather than takes from the
| danger The after effects of this intense
cold are nervous weakness, neuralgia and
long train of ills. Robust health after
ward is thought to be almost impossible
