then slightly dipped into boiling oil
and when cooled off they are placed
in tin boxes, which are made in the
factory. These boxes are filled with
oil, hermetically sealed, and dipped
into boiling water to prevent fermen-
tation taking place. This last opera
ton finished, the boxes are packed in
wooden cases, filled with sawdust, and
are then all ready for sale.
Every factory employs on an aver
age $50 women, 20 children, and as
many men, these latter being tin
smiths for the most part. The women
employed receive very small pay
three or four cents an hour. Those
employed in the boiling process re-
ceive slightly larger salary, this
work being more dangerous and diff
cult.

Indians Riding Wheels.

"The noble red man may yet be
civilized by means of bicycles" said
A. L. Bartlett, of Beatrice, Neb.
"The Otoe tribe have steadily re-
sisted all efforts to induce them to be-
come citizens, and their numbers have
dwindled until but few of them re,
main. In fact, there are few more
Indians in Nebraska now than in Now
York and Indiana. A few days ago
one of the chiefs of the Otoe tribe
visited Beatrice and became much in
terested in bicycles. The owner
thought it would be fun to let the old
Indian learn to ride, and it was not
long before the chief had mastered the
art Then he must have wheel of
his own, and not having any money
he traded four ponies for one. He
rode it to the reservation and next
day half dozen Indians came tc
town, bringing ponies to trade for
bicycles. Ride faster. No feed,
they say, and when the bicycle manu-
facturers learn of this new field it is
probable that they will reap a har
vest. and the Indians will lay aside
their primitive customs and join the

Philip Makes Some Remarks.

Philip is youngster of some six
years. He is of contemplative turn
OF mind, and often makes observa-
tions that show he has been thinking
deeply upon some topic. The other
evening he was sitting on the front
porch of his home, barelegged and
barefooted. The mosquitoes were
active and aggressive. One big fellow
landed on soft portion OF the boys
leg. 1t did not proceed at once to
work, but seemed trying to decide on
good place to begin. Philip did not
brush him off but sat observing him.
Presently the boy made this remark to
his mother:
"Mamma, guess the mosquito is
asking blessing before he begins to
eat"
Philip had been hearing good deal
in his Sunday-sch class about temp
tation and the evil OF yielding to it.
The other morning his mother was
cooking doughnuts. He spied small,

looking at it longingly said:

Bored Seven Holes in His Head.

One of the most delicate and dan
gerous operations known to modern
surgery is that of trephining the sknIl.
The laying bare of the brain and the
caution which must be exercised not
to touch the gray matter SO rs TO
create death or injury, renders 1t an
operation which, though in the hands
of skilful surgeons not fatal, is rarely
resortcd to except in extreme cases.
To have o he hole bored in ones
skull is bad enough, but there Is
man living in San Francisco who had
the auger forced through the bones
overing the head seven times and
lives to tell about it.
Leland F. Clarke is now business
man of thirty-two years. When
child he fell from his nurses arms
and struck his head upon the floor.
Some months ago the effects of the
fall in babyhood began to appear.
He was subject to constant headaches
that grew more and more intense and
painful, and time slipped by.
Finally he felt that it was driving him
crazy.
The case was an unusually difficult
one from the fact that the exact point
of pressure could not be located from
the outside. The operating surgeon
knew the approximate neighborhood
to be on the right side of the head
near the crown, but the exact seat OF
the trouble was uncertain.
For two days Clarke was under the
influence of anaesthetics, and before
the pressure was located seven borings
were made through the skull. In the
end the growth caused by the child
hood fall was found and removed,
but it was not expected the patient
would live. But Clark took another
view of the matter, and while he knew
he ought to die, according to the
doctors, he determined to live, and is

At the end of year Marmadnke
Chesterton came back. He was moi
married to Miss Buckingham, after
all. The beautiful brunette had ac-
ceptcd his presents, smiled on him
with those melting eyes of hers,
amused herself at his expense, and
finally welded a young lieutenant oi
artillery, to whom she had been en-
gagged for years, and poor Dukes
eyes had been summarily opened to
the folly OF his ways.
. He was pale and haggard as he
stood there in the boudoir, where he
had first asked Cora Leslie to be his
wife.
But Cora was lovelier than ever. As
he looked at her he marveled that he
could ever have cared for one like
Ariadne Buckingham.
"Cora," he said in broken voice,
as she cordially gave him her hand,
"Can you ever forgive me?"
"Oh, yes," she answered, smiling,
II forgave you long ago. And, oh,
how you must have suffered, Duke.
"But," he went eagerly on, 81 am
