Seneca'S Medal

In the possession of the Red Jacket
Club Of Canandaigua is a medal which.
the members Of the club believe, was
given to the famous Seneca chief by
George Washington. Other folks have
frequently questioned the authenticity
Of this relic, much to the Indignation
of the Canandaiguans, who assert that
it's claims to respect are beyond doubt.
Medals almost exact duplicates of Red
Jackets, they admit, were presented
to other Indians Of note about the time
when Red Jacket received his, but this
one is distinguished from all the rest
because on, it's reverse there are four
teen stars instead Of fifteen, and re-
NAMED in the hands Of a single family
from the time Of the chiefs death until
it became the property of it's present
owners.

Reauty of the Creole Women.

"As YOU see his face,' writes Ruth
McEnery Stuart in an article on the
Creoles, "a People Who Live Amid Ro-
NANCE in the Ladies' Home Journal,
'you will know that he (the Creole hus-
band or father realizes that no flower
upon the lily-covered altar is half SO
fair or so fit for the temples perfect
adjoining as his blooming wife and bud
ding daughters, who sit in line beside
him. If he does not think these things
he is a dullard-or, maybe, only half
Creole. Perhaps his mother was all
American. or Scotch. And then? Per-
haps he would not think them because
they might not be true. They would
be other things, other things just as fine
and good, no doubt-they might even
have rare beauty of different type
but the Creole woman is flower. She
is a magnolia or a jasmine-occasional-
ly, camellia-or, especially when
there is a good warm drop Of Spanish
blood in her veins, she is a red, red rose
"a rose too sweet to pass untouched
but for her perfect dignity and
piquant hauteur that is as protective
as any thorn upon roses stem.

zone Of the most distinguishing quail

His family traditions are of obedi-

church and ends in his wine cellar. He

are matters of tradition. Good enough
for his ancestors, are they not good
enough for him and his children? His

Some Good Tattooine.

Why should we not all of us be iden-
titled from youth upward by tattooed
mark? Men who travel have often
found difficulty in getting checks cash
ed in strange places, and women who
entertain are frequently taken in by
distinguished guests who prove to be
any persons except the distinguished
ones expected. A tattoo mark, register
ed somewhere and placed on record so
as not to be initiated without punish
ment from the law, would be every bit
as useful on human beings as the brand
is on cattle. Human beings. when dis
associated from their usual attire and
surroundings, are distinguished from
each other with even more difficulty
than attends the picking out of par
ticular cow or horse from large num-
Der. It was Thomas Hughes who de-
clared that man would refuse to rec
ogniZe his best friend if the latter
were set down in ragged clothing at a
street crossing-and he was right Men
escape justice easily by such simple
devices as shaving the mustache or
growing a beard, and the lady in stage
land who isn't recognized by her own
family merely because she puts on a
different colored dress Is not unknown

According to the Correspondence de
PExtreme Orient" the official organ
of the Chinese Embassy at Berlin, Ii
Hung Chang's nomination as member
of the Tsung Ii Yamen, or Depart
ment of Foreign Affairs, has no more
than a formal meaning. He is in dire
disgrace at court in consequence Of his
behavior while abroad, and has not
been reinstated in the lucrative office
of Viceroy of Petchili as he had hoped.
The journal in question even goes so
far as to declare that the Emperor had
resolved to put Ii to death on his re-
turn to China, and that the aged states
man owes his life to the intervention
of the Emperor's uncle, Prince Kung.
His visit to the Dowager Empress, who
is on bad terms with the Emperor, has
naturally served to add to the ill-Wlll
of his sovereign against him.

The Shepherd and His Sheen.

A gentleman and his wife travelling
in the Holy Land, while resting by the
roadside became interested in a shep-
herd as he sought to lead his flock over
stream. In vain he called to his sheep
to follow him through the shallow
waters, and again and again he coaxed
them on. They would come so far and
no farther. At last, as a final resort.
he caught little lamb and bore it to
the other side. Immediately the dam
followed, and then the entire flock
crossed safely to better pastures and
cooler shade. There was a lesson in
that little incident for the two travel
ers. 1t had been necessary in their
case, too. that the Good Shepherd
would bear their only child across the
stream in order to draw them closer to
Him. But their hearts had rebelled
against the will of God and thew had
sought to bury their sorrow in distrac-
ton. AS the meaning of the lesson
came more fully upon them thew ac-
cepted the great truth it taught: and
not only did they find healing for their
own broken hearts and shattered homes
but were used Of God in bringing hone
and comfort into many another bur-
dened and darkened life.-Ladies'

The benighted persons who celebrate
a wedding anniversary with ham sand
wiches as the pieces of resistance ought
to expect something serious to happen
to them, and it is in no way surprising
that gathering at Hollidaysburg, Pa,
thus RECALLED has just been dispersed
with obscure internal symptoms baf-
fling the skill of the local doctors, and
so far without any satisfactory expla-
nation. Neighborhood sentiment is di-
vided as to whether the fault was with
the pig that was eaten or the celebrants
who consumed it, but it is united i'll
recognizing the principle that as an ele-
ment of the wedding feast in that re-
gion the ham sandwich must hereafter
give way to the cruller-a rejection not
quite so abrupt in it's effects, but per-
haps in the long run equally dangerous.
The incident casts light OH the dietetic
usage of the rustic American, explain
ing the origin of many popular discon-
tents for which political and religious
remedies as we'll as medical prescrip-
tons are quite in vain.

In Cow Island, La, where the al}iga-
tor abounds, the tame villatic hen OF
lady residing there has just Matched
out several Of the reptiles along with
her own brood. The most curious thing
about the incident is that the young
saurianS discern nothing irregular in
their parentage and follow the mother
hen around in company with her chicks
apparently in entire contentment with
their lot The Indifference of the placid
domestic fowl as to what the eggs be-
meath it bring forth has long engaged
the attention of naturaliSts, who final
ly aScribe it to the natural compOsure
of the creature, which is more concern
ed for it's own tranquility and peace Of
mind than for the official regularity of
it's posterity. 1t brings up brood Of
turkeylets or muscoyy ducklings with
the same care that it bestows on the
fluffy chicks of it's own breed, which it
is natural to suppose that it contracted
for How it may be with the nursing
saurians of Cow Island is another mat
ter, but there is no reason to suppose
that the hen will fail in any reasonable
point of duty toward them. Cow Island
now ought to produce the tale of an

maturity a brood of buff cochins or
Plymouth Rocks. 1t would be equally
interesting and almost as plausible

1t pays to be a speedy bicycle rider.
Less than four years ago two Welsh
lads. the Linton brothers, worked in a
collery in Northern Wales, earning less
than SO cents day each. One of them
was taken up by a shrewd cycle train
er and broke all records for a period
of two years, at the end OF which time
he died, leaving fortune of $4,000.
His younger brother Tom Linton, is
now the greatest long-distance bicycle
rider in the world. He has ridden thir-
ty-One and one-third miles in single
hour-that is to say, in each OF the 36O
seconds he travelled over ninety feet
of space. This must have been done,
of course, with wheel of abnormally
high gear, probably 100. He has been
riding only about two years, but his
earnings are estimated at $4,000.

Killed Kim with Clubs.

Jeff Hardin, a farmer who lives on
the River road, opposite the Six-Nile
Island, went to Louisville recently with
he disposed of, and in consequence the
squirrel market was glutted. Mr..
Hardin killed the entire lot in a few
minutes, and with big stick at that.
He said that he had a SiX-acre field
of corn on his farm, but that during the
past few weeks the squirrels had come
from the neighboring woods in great
droves and had all but devastated his
crop. He tried every means known to
brighten or drive the frisky little pests
away, but without avail, so he finally
determined to turn the cornfield into a
slaughter-house.
Eearly one morning, before the sun
had fairly got his sleepy face above the
horizon, Mr.. Hardin and his 17-year-old
son armed themselves with sticks and
moved off in the direction of the corn
field The field is bounded on two sides
by the river, and on the other two by
open fields. Mr.. Hardin approached
from the other. At the sight of the
farmers the squirrels leaped nimbly
from the stalks and scampered off
across the corn rows. Mr.. Hardin and
his son pursued and finally cornered
them down near the river. There the
slaughter took place, and for time
the field ran rivers of blood, so Mr..
Hardin says.
At any rate a wagon load of squir
rels was killed by the two farmers,
who say that nearly as many more
lodged by them or jumped into the
river and were drowned. The wagon
contained exactly 763 of the dead
pests, SO Mr.. Hardin says, and he is
responsible for the statement that
there are thousands more in the neigh
borhood that he will bring in if his
cornfield is again molested.-Louisville
Post.

For a superficial felon nothing IS

abscess has formed, however, not, APP
Dlications should be applied and the pus
completely removed. The application
of the tincture of iodine, carbolic acid,

In the deep variety of felon the for

and therefore hot applications or poul-

If at the end of two or three days
there is no marked relief the abscess
should be opened. The incision should
be deep enough to insure the complete
evacuation of the contents of the alb
scess. Immediate relief from all suffer-

scess, and the wound quickly heals If
care is taken to keep it absolutely

Mine on Mount Sinai.

Recent examination of the copper
mines on Mount Sinai reveals that the
ore is poor and difficult to work. which,
accounts for the fact that they were
abandoned 1000 years ago, though in
the days when copper was the onlv
available substitute for wood and stone
these mines were the cause of frequent
wars. An interesting point brought -
iight IS that the ancients practiced pre-
clseiy the method of extraction used at
the present day-namely, reduction
with charcoal combined with silicious
calcareous fuxes. '>'
