ject now to excite ones pity, and, al
though it may seem unchristian, I al
most wished he could win, for in those
days there were nearly as many In
dams as buffaloes and they were inf
nitely more dangerous.
SAN arrow had destroyed one Of the
bulls eyes, blood was rushing from
his mouth and nostrlls and trucking
from q score of wounds along his
spine. His life blood was ebbing
away, and now, seeing his tormentor
standing before him, he made q last
desperate effort to reach him. With
o mighty roar the bleeding brute
bounded forward, and it seemed to us
that he had regained all his LOST
strength, for he went with the speed
and force of on express train. The
daring Sioux drew another arrow and
let it drive into the buffalo, made a
feint OF lodging to the right, and
then, leaping far to the left, les fly
another arrow as the bafaed bull went
by.
"The buffalo was by this time &C.
quainted with the Sioux's tricks, and
the moment he passed the Indian,
whirled and came back at his adver-
sary with renewed vigor. The Sioux,
surprised perhaps by the s%uddenness
of the charge, leaned back, stumbled,
and nearly fell backward over the
body Of his dead horse. Before he
could regain his feet the animal was
upon him. It seemed that in another
moment the Indian would be tossed
high in the air, but the new lease Of
life the bull had was out, and III that
moment in which we had looked to see
him triumph, the great beast STUN
bled and fell in a heap at the S'oux's
feet. "-Cy Warman, i'll New York Sun.

The Murder on the Brig Mariner.

Almost the only case known where an
officer was killed by a member of the
crew and the murderer escaped pun
ishment is that recorded Of the little
brig Mariner, which was Oh a sugar
voyage from st. Thomas to this port
in the same year that the Thayer mu-
tiny occurred. j.. G. Lewis, the first
mate, and Frank Jakileta, a Russian
seaman, had a quarrel which developed
into a fight in which the sailor had the
better part until the mate promised to
let him alone. AS soon as he was re-
leased from the grip of the Russian,
Lewis grabbed a Delaying pin and
rushed at the sailor, who made a mo-
ton as if to draw a knife. Bang came
the Delaying pin ove Jakileta's head.
Then out came the knife. There was a
swish and a slash, and Lewis, with his
jugular vein severed, fen to the deck,
dead. The struggle was over before
the rest Of the men could Interfere.
Jakileta was disarmed. but, as the yes
sci was short-handed, he was COM
PEELED to keep at work. Mrs. Wharton,
the wife of the captain, John Wharton,
Of Portland, read the burial service,
and the body of the mate was buried
at sea. On the arrival of the brig in
port, Jakileta was at once taken before
Commissioner Shields, and, as the
Grand Jury was in session, the case
was quickly disposed of. The prison
er's stroy was corroborated; the plea
that he acted in s~elf-defence was ac-
cepted, and he was set at liberty

OBJECT TO BARE FEET.

An amusing difficulty has arisen re-
carding the statue Of Flora Macdonald,
which is being prepared to grace the
northern capital Of Scotland. In the
original design the sculptor has repre-
scented the loyal Highland maid with
bare feet. The armour propre of her
clansmen has been ruffled at the idea
Of a woman Of gentle blood being pill
loried to all time as a "bareft' High
land wench, and the Can Macdonald
Society of Glawgow has actually
requested the Town Council OF
Inverness to have the design altered.

What Dreams Indicate.

Professor Pheltshu says that lively
dreams are in general a sign of nervous
action. Soft dreams a sign of slight
irritation of the brain; often in
nervous fever announcing the ap-
proach of a favorable crisis. Fright
full dreams are a determination OF
blood to the head Dreams about
blood and red objects are signs of in
fammatory conditions. Dreams about
rain and water are often signs OF dis
eased mucous membranes and dropsy.
Dreams of distorted forms are 1re-
quentIy a sign of abdominal ohstruc.
tions and disorder OF the liver.
Dreams in which the patient sees any
part of the body especially suffering
indicate disease IN that part. The
nightmare, with great seusitivenesa,
is a sign OF determination OF blood to
the chest.-HalA's journal OF Health.

THE REIGN OF CEN

Sachets for trunks and boxes and
drawers and closets have come into
use again, and some Of them are sewed
into dresses as well. The sachets are
usually made Of eau d'Espagne, which
resembles kid. 1t is cut into strips or
squares, and it never loses its scent.
Gowns are wrapped in yards Of fan
mel STEPPED in extract Of perfume, and
the effect is refreshing and pleasant to
the wearer. Altogether the reign OF
scent has come upon us with consider
able virulence, but always in delicate
suggestion.-St. Louis Star-Sayings.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere era1ieemed SO highly by all
who value goo ) health. Its beneficial
effects are de D the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness WITHOUT ..aabilitating the
organs on maicfTaacts. "1tis therefore

fetal effects sto note when you pn1r'
chase, thatyou ha--a1e genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep"
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health.
and the system is regular, then Taxa"
tives or other remedies are no needed
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended tothe most skllituI
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

GARDEN PARTY w


From across the water comes this
description Of two garden party
gowns:
At one garden party, a tall, stately,
fair woman wore a lovely gown OF pal
est grey silk. The bodice was of sill
ken muslin, in folds and tiny tucks,
the latter edged with deep cream col
orod Valenciennes lace; these bordered
a kind of pointed vest Of accordion
Dleated white chiffon, with inserted de-
signs in Honiton lace. There was a
folded girdle, drawn down slightly be
low the waist, of pale Chartreuse
green-satin ribbon shot with gold, and
straps Of similar ribbon over the
shoulders, caught with lovely paste
buttons. The hat was of crumpled
straw, the brim sewn with white
Scotch roses, and high green ostrich
feathers placed at one side.
Very attractive also was a dress,
worn by a tall young countess in a
bright pale shade of appie-green silk.
| The bodice was made with sleeves of
chiffon yelled by cream colored lace,
and had folds of chiffon drawn down
the front and back and caught under a
closely swathed girdle of green Sill
drawn into a diamond buckle at one
side. A toque of rough black chip was
worn, trimmed with black tulle, and
with a high aigrette of black and pale
green ostrich feathers at one side.

Woodruff Shoe.Heels.

One of the latest adaptations OF the
wood pulp industry is the manufacture
in Haverhill, Mass, of shoe-heels from
that material, white pine and other
kinds being used for the purpose. In
carrying out this art the plan as de-
scribed consists in reducing the wood
in the usual way in digesters, after
which the pulp is put into a tank and
mixed wit. the substances for impart-
ing to heel-stock the necessary require
ments, such as alcohol, litharge, tar,
Gegras and fish-glue, a thorough mix
ing of these with the Pulp being fol
lowed by soaking the sa mcadayo or two
so that the fibre may be ~perineated,
when another application of materials
occurs. The object at this stage is to
harden the pulp somewhat, so that it
can be rolled into thick sheets and ham
died, shellac and borax accomplishing
this, the pulp then having the consis-
tency of cement. At this point slack
encd lime is put in, and, as this hardens
when dry, the pulp must be rolled into
sheets and cut into heels before the
hardening takes place. The pulp is
now drawn from the tank in sheets,
it being just thick enough, there being
specially arranged rollers and adjust
ments at the bottom of the tank for eff
fecting this. A series Of pressures
through press rollers reduces the sheet
to the right thickness, and the sheet Is
next placed quickly upon the bed Of a
cutter; the wheels are now started,
and in a moment the platen falls, fore
| ing a hundred or more cutters upon the
sheet. each sharing out a heel
