Mr.. Cultivate spoke of the bounty a
bride to win Louisiana from her old
political alliances. At this point the

Mr.. Wilson of West Virginia. In sun.

mouse as an independent proposition in
stead of being made one of the legiti-
mate compromises of the tariff law
He was not willing to have his vote on

sense that never seemed to leave
Once, when she was totally blind, I
brought her two photos. The first one
was of myself. I put it in her hand,
and, after rubbing her knuckles over
it, she said the picture was of me.
The other photo was of my wife, who
was dead, and in a few seconds she
told me who it was. She could dis
tinguish the most delicate tints by
touching them, and could read books in
the dark by moving her fingers over
the words. A few days after Miss
Brigham was killed I called on AIoIIie
for the purpose of telling her about
the accident. Mollie knew Miss Brig
ham, But, to my astonishment MoIlie
knew all about the accident She told
me that Miss Brigham appeared to her
in spirit and told her how she had been
killed, and gave her all the particulars
''TO her friends she would often talk
of her visions, but she never did to new
acquaintances. She has given me some
of the most glorious descriptions of
heaven. When she was blind and
would make some of the most beautiful
wax flowers, her friends would ask her
how she managed to get the coIors and
shapes SO perfectly. In reply MoIIie
said she had seen them grow Just so in
the garden. All of this is marvellous
when you consider that Mollie was
never taught how to make wax --owers.

eTal degrees, each degree possessing
it's separate and distinct secrets. The
sOciOlogists, going further, claim
that the grips Of the order are CO.
incident with those of the Masonic
organization. In another respect,
too, they are analogous in their hab-
it's to the traditions of the Masons.
In the placing of their dancing
ground a circle is laid out. banked
around like a circus ring, with open
ings toward the east and west.
Stress is laid upon these directions.
The Indians participating in the
dance sit upon the earth thus
banked UP. In bad weather or in
the winter time a building is espe-
cialIy prepared for the dances, and
this is also laid out with reference
to the east and west.

are placed in position and the
dance commences. Shoughnesse, the
chief of the tribe, leads the chant,
the tom-toms beat sonOrously and
the others join in a sort of hum
ming accompaniment which can
only be described as resembling
Japanese music. Few have heard
Japanese music and lived to tell
the tale. The first words of the
chief call forth some particular sec
ton. Those belonging to it arise
and take the floor Of the dancing
ground. The faces and bodies of
those taking part are decorated in
the highest style of the Indian ar
tistic idea. The dancing, which
usually begins at o'clock in the
afternoon,l lasts until o'clock, when
the entire party adjourns to rest
and partake Of refreshments if the
dayis not one devoted to fasting. The
different sections are called out in
turn by the chief and each dances
during the period allotted to it,
after which another section takes its
place. At $50 the fun commences
again, and continues until $50.

concluded and the two Kicka=
poos returned to their homes full

INDIANS IN MASONIC DANCE

Last week the Pottawatomie In
dians living near Topeka had a
dance far different from the green

ital. There has always been a lin
gering suspicion that there was
among the Indians of this CONT
nent a secret society which to a
degree resembled the ancient order
of Masons. This remains as yet
only a suspicion. In the dance last
week two visiting Kickapoo Indians
were initiated into the rites of the
'Medawin'' during this dance, and
it is claimed by the Indian sociolo-
gists in this country that these rites
correspond closely to- those of Ma
sonry. The ''Medawin' has its seY-

A cataract is formed by the lens Of

IS FOND OF MUSIC.

Miss Fancher occupies a room OPEN
ing into a small front parlor The par
lor is kept darkened. It's furniture is
old-fashioned and solid. White folding
doors separate it from the room used
by Miss Fancher. When her few inti-
mate friends call, as they often do at
night, the folding doors are thrown
open, and the invalid, from her snowy
bed, joins in the conversation, or list
ems to singing or playing on the old
fashioned square piano in the room.
Miss Fancher does not look the in
valid she is, Notwithstanding her years
of living in bed. Her face, though col
orless, is not at all ghastly. There are
deep lines-the imprint of constant suf-
fering-about the nose and mouth. The
face itself, though not pretty, is pleas
ant and intelligent
Miss Fancher has her little vanity,
and in that she shows her womanli-
ness. She is proud of her arms and
wrists. She ornaments them with jew
elry of the fashion of a generation ago.
She wears pretty, close sacques, with
short, loose sleeves, allowing a gener-
Gus exposure of the wrist and arm. Her

mixed with gray, and well worn away
on the left side. She lies on this side
most of the time, although the picture
shows her on the other side.
Miss Fancher's skin is as fine and as
delicate as a baby's. She takes pride
in the fact that during the thirty years

Bicycling Up q Hill,

In the first place, for general riding
it is safe to say that one should never
try to keep the same speed in going up
hill that he has been setting himself
on level road. Yet this is the nat
ural tendency of all riders. The bicy-
Gle should be allowed to slow down,
and the pressure on each pedal should
be made the moment that it turns be-
yond the highest point of it's arc. The
push should be strong for the moment
and should then be withdrawn before
the pedal has turned so far down that
the pressure on it is partially wasted
In other words, the principle is the
same as in rowing, where the stroke
should be made most powerful at the
moment when the oar is at right angles
with the body, and therefore in the
position where the oarsman's strength
counts for the most. If the bicycle is
allowed to run slowly, and this pressure
is alternately made ON one pedal and
then on the other, you will find it moves
along slowly, to be sure, but steadily,
and that you are at the top Of the hill
before you realize it, and without hav-
ing even quickened your pulse to any
great extent. A very steep hill may,
of course, be made somewhat easier by
taking it diagonally across from one
side to the other if the road is wide and
smooth enough-that is, by zigzaging
up the hill.-From Harper's Young
People.
