None But AYERS at the Worlds Fair.

Ayers Sarsaparllla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hiblt at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other Sarsaparillas
sought by every means to obtain q
showing Of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
of the rule f%orbidding the entry Of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision Of the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilfa
is not a patent medicine. It does not
belong to the list of nostrums. 1t is
here on its merits"

The bicycle in the Fugrre.

Has anybody, we wonder, thoroughly
realized the change that will come over
the appearance of our cities when every
body uses a bicycle and almost all trac-
ton is mechanical? There will be de-
licious silence, to begin with. No lum-
bering vans, no banging omnibuses, no
Gathering of iron hoofs upon asphalt.
Every wheel will be of India rubberand
the horse will only be used for pleasure.
Then the dust sweeper and the scaven-
ger boy will be abolished. No longer
will tons of manure be deposited upon
London streets every day. And loco
motion will be enormously cheapencd
When neither horse nor harness, Meth
er corn nor veterinary's bill is required,
ride in cab will cost perhaps three
pence and ton can be carried from
farm to market for a shilling or two.
The city merchant and his clerk can
alike live miles out of town, steering
themselves home at night in their motor
cars. The suburbs of London will eX-
tend dozen miles all round. The
changes that will ensue are so many and
SO great as to be unimaginable yet. A
revolution is coming-may it be soon!

CIVILlZING THE INDIAN.
Proper Method of Emancipating the
Original American.

Any government capable Of annual
" assimilating half million foreigners,
many of whom have come from the
dregs of European countries, should in
!he course of few years digest 260,-
| 600 indians. What prevents? We an
swer, methods; nothing but methods.
Use the Indian method of isolation and
segregation with the immigrant, and
! the American nation will be destroyed
IN decade. Use the immigrant method
| Of distribution, association and oppor-
tunity with the Indian, and a decade
need not pass until they become real
part of our country's life-blood.
The Indian has the capacity to meet
| the issues of civilized life at once. All
INDIAN youth may readily be prepared
30 enter the common schools of the
country by two or three years course
in government schools established for
the special purpose of bringing them
to this condition of fitness; and having
once entered the public schools the
way is open for them to remain and
go up head. Such schools and all our
higher schools are now and always
have been open to the Indians. Harvard
and Dartmouth colleges were started
in the interests of Indian education. .
The door of education has never
been closed to the Indian. The whole
10000 or $4,000 Indian youth may now,
if they will, distribute themselves
among the schools of the country.
There need not be another school
house built for exclusive Indian ed
ucation. Pennsylvania has about
% 900 schools, and there are about $780,
600 schools in the United States. If all
the Indian youth in the country were
distributed among the schools of Penn
evlvania there would not be two 1ndi-
an pupils for each school. If distributed
among the schools of the country there
would not be an Indian for each six
schools. In either case the process
would accomplish the civilization OF
the Indian a hundred times faster than
government or mission schools or both
for the reason that he is trained by
daily contact with the very conditions
and individuals that later, as man, he
will have to compete with. We do the
indian no kindness by holding him
away from this competition, for it is
this very experience that is to develop
him. Without it we shall never accom-
plish the emancipation of the Indian

FIRST ENGLISH SMOKER.
Much Controversy Has Arisen Over the
Claims of Different Writers.

The learned Camden speaks of Lane
as the original English smoker. 1t is
remarkable that SO much doubt should
have existed among writer's even in
Eliza-Jacobean times both as to the date
when tobacco was first received in this
country and the person by whom it was
first introduced. The painstaking an
nalist Stow says that tobacco came into
England about the Goth year of Queen
Elizabeth Q55O. But Aubrey, speak
ing OF Sir Walter Raleigh, says that "he
was the first that brought tobacco into
England and into fashion (15S6). In
our part of North Wilts-for example.
Malmsbury Hundred-it came first into
fashion by Sir Walter Long. They had
first silver pipes. The ordinary sort
made use OF a walnut shell and a straw.
l have heard my Grandfather LYLE saw
that one pipe was handed from man to
man round the table. Sir Walter Raj
eigh, standing in stand at Sir Ro.
Poyntz' parke at Acton took a pipe of
tobacco, which made the ladies quite
it till he had donne.'
The author of a gossipy Tour In
Wales" Pennant), in 1910, speaking
about the great houses and their asso-
Citations, says that Capt. Price, of
Plasyollin, with Capts. Mydleton and
Koet, on their return from the Azores
in 1891, were the first who had smoked
or las they called iD drank tobacco pub
licly in London, and that the Londoners
focked from all parts to see them.
Pipes were not then invented. so they
used the twisted leaves or cigars. The
invention is usually ascribed to Sir Wal
ter Raleigh 1t may be so, but he was
too good courtier to smoke in public,
especially in the reign of JaHes."
Again, in the 1859 translation of Dr.
Everard's "Panacea" (Antwerp, 1887,
it is remarked that Capt. Richard Grcn-
field and Sir Francis Drake were the first
planters of it here (England), and not
Sir Walter Raleigh, which is the COM
mon error; so difficult is it to fix popular
discoveries" These few selections
show us how easily origins are lost
sight of.-Gentleman's Magazine.

A queer sect has lately sprung up III
the Loo-Choo-Fin district, in Eastern
China. In order to intimidate their fol
lowers into eating meat or not eating
meat according to the SEX. they teach
that meat-eating women will be trans
formed into men in the life to come. and
that their children which die before
reaching maturity will go to Heaven or
hades, as the case may be. as creature
in which the sexes will be combined.
The penalty for the men is just the cF-
posite. eating males can
only gain admission to Paradise upon
proving that they have done some val
orous deed, and even then they cannot
pass the pearly gates without being
instantly transformed into women. The
natural conclusion one arrives at aftc"
reading the tenets of this queer sect is
that unless a vegetable-eating man car
prove that he has been an earthly hero
he will not be admitted at all, even az Il
woman! This peculiar people are
known as the Wung -Fop-Cheti-Sen, AMI
are said to be making wonderful prog
ress wherever they go.-St. Louis Re

A MOCKING-BIRD DANCE.
As Witnessed by Roamer Through the
Southern Woods.

With bodies stiff and straight as an
arrow, head erect and feathers fiat
tened, wings dropping loosely forward,
but tails elevated at as acute an angle to
the body as possible, the dance solemniy
begins. The eyes are steadily fixed, AMI
as methodically as any soldiers upon
drill they sturdily go through the move
ment of bounding, rising quite high and
descending in very nearly the sam"
place each time. from one end of the
playground to the other, back and
forth, always keeping the line about a
foot apart. AS each one nears his or her
corner o"~I. ~l>,vlY and dignifiedly
turns a complete circle. then again
faces the other, always diaSonally. and
slowly bounds back, to repeat the NOV C.
ment at the other end. Sometimes both
will turn away to look off at some dis
tant object, just as a cat will apparent
ly forget the mouse she is tormenting.
That, however. seems to be only part
Of the ceremony, for soon both turn
back and the dance is resumed.
One day | CHANGED to witness one Of
these pretty sights as it took place be-
meath the incorporating branches of a
large orange tree, but the scene was
interrupted quite unexpectedly. just
at the most graceful part of an intricate
double pirouette, a very puffy and
motherly old hen who, with an u,r-
limited number of oIfsprings, had been
serenely picking up a dinner close by,
evidently felt a sudden impatience at
the sight of all this folly, for to my sur.
prise and amusement she made quick
rush and dashed between these happy
Knockers, startling them almost out of
their senses. Instantly the atmos-
phere was permeated with two separate
and distinct streams of silk-splittinr
fire. each fully rod long, as the two
angry birds departed for the protection
of neighboring lemon tree.-I. W
