are all badly in debt, and the white
traders have been compelled to shut
down on their credit, thus cutting OH
their only means of Sustenance. These
Indians, it seems, are wholly at the
mercy OF the government. Nhen they
made the treaty with the government,
giving to it their lands at 500 per
acre, there was no systematized plans
made for the payment thereof. The
government was to use the money
for the cultivation and good of the
tribe in general, with the exception
Of the interest, which was to be paid
yearly, and which amounts to $1S,4OO.
These Indians have no definite idea
as to how much money is expended
every year to keep up the school and
agency at this point. There are sew
eral men Of intelligence and ability
among the tribe, who ought to look
into their accounts with the govern
ment and know just how they stand,
and insist that it make to them at

How TO See Your Own Brain.

Fred ]. Baker, optician, Of Huron is
amusing some of his friends by giving
them a sight of their brains in broad
daylight. This is done by reversing
the act of seeing, the process being in
this wise: Close the hands with the
backs turned outward and the little
fingers extended; with these raise the
eyelids as far as possible and, keeping
them in this position, roll the eyes
down to the extreme limit ard OScillate
them quite rapidly to the right and
left. With a little practice, one Will
see projected the image of a segment
of his own brains. This proceeding eX-
cites vision, and rs there is no image
on the retina for the brain to see, other
than the image of a portion OF its own
substance, which Immediately connects
with the optic nerve the pictured seq
ment of the brain is projected on from
the retina to the same distance as the
segment of the brain lies behind the
retina. In this way the brain sees a
portion of its own surface structure.

Stanley Claremont, who fixed on the
peddler a wondering look.
Frances OMeafa'S foot was already
on the first step of the ladder when a
terrific flash of lightning and an over
whelming crash of thunder, which, for
an instant, made the stoutest heart on
board that vessel to stand still, caused
the young girl to recoil and shrek
with terror.
And Sydney Drummond had crept to
Frances O'Meara's side, and she, now
encountering his supplicating look, had
resigned herself to remain on board the
vessel, eve before Captain Tarboy de-
clared, which Immediately he did, that
he would not allow Miss O'Meara to
descend into the boat.
When Frances had consented to re-
main on board an unpleasant weight
was removed from Abraham Nailer's
apology for a heart.
And then the captain said that the
sea would presently be growing rough,
and that Frampton himself must go at
once or not at all.
Good night, Miss Frances, and con
sole yourself that you will be with your
uncle tomorrow" said the good old do
nestle, as he placed his foot on the
topmost step of the ladder.
Those words were the last which in
this world he was to utter; for the next
step sank beneath his foot, the ladder
swung around, he was jerked from his
hold, and, with a loud cry, James
Frampton vas plunged headlong into
the ocean.
Then arose the loud screams of wom-
en- and groans of dismay from the men,
while everywhere about the deck re-
sounded that appalling cry, "A man
overboard!"
Ropes were thrown over the vessels
side, life buoys were cast into the sea,
boats were speedily manned, blue
lights were burned, but all in vain for
the rescue OF James FramptOn, living,
or for the recovery of his body, dead.
The deep sea was to be his everlast-
ing grave.
And to all this horror was added the
lightning's fearful flash, the thunder's
loud, terrific roar.
Deeply attached to good old Tramp
ton had been Frances O'Meara; and
through the long ensuing night inces-
sanity wept, as though her heart would
break.
There is 10 danger now that James
hampton will reveal q certain name
to your uncle!" Abraham said, in a
low tor to Claremont, and casting
a significant glance towards the
broken ladder.
And the true meaning Of the look
was co~mprehended by Stanley Clare

CHAPTER. ".
The Cousins,

Sydney Drummond was one Of the
most confidential clerks of q large
banking establishment in the City of
London.
He had been sent to Wexford to
transact some very important bust
ness there with a correspondent Of
h firm in whose service he was en-
plOyed.
When the Dreadnought had arrived
at Wexford, Frances O'Meara, taking
her leave of Sydney, had again said
to him how rejoiced she knew Sir
LOghlen would be to make the ac-
quaintance Of a gentleman who had
been so kindly attentive to the Baro-
nets niece; and, when parting with
Sydney, had extorted from him a sort
Of half promise that, before quitting
Ireland he would venture to Sir
Loghlen O'Meara's mansion.
To Frances herself it appeared in
e~xplicable that she should thus strive
to prOlong an acquaintance which
every worldly consideration told her
should be at once dissolved.
But Frances, although, at present,
she had no suspicion of the fact, had
fallen in love with the handsome
young clerk; and not every girl in
love for the first time in her life has
a corner of her heart to spare &c.
worldly considerations.
Sydney's business in Wexford, for
the settlement Of which a month had
been given him by his firm, was con,

The machines were very much like an

can be found in Mexico. At San Fer
nando Is large factory called La Fab
rican San Fernando, where they en-
ploy 200 hands. There Is another at
Flalpan, called La Fama Montaneau,
employing from 900 to 700 hands
The highest rates of wages given at
these factories are 90 to 60 cents day
for boys and girls; from 81 cents TO 81
a day for women, and from 81 cents TO
$1.25 per day for men. The hours of
work are from 8 a. m. to 8 p. M. so
that the wages paid are very low as
compared with our own, especially
when we consider that their dollar is
