Ammonia for the House wife

1t is not generally realized how useful
an article ammonia is in a household.
Here are some OF it's uses:
To brighten carpets, wipe them after
sweeping with warm water which has
had u few drops OF ammonia poured in it.
1t will make them look as fresh as new.
One teaspoonful of ammonia put in g
cupful of water will clean gold or silver
jewelry. A few drops under a diamond
will clean it Immediately, making it very
brilliant.
To clean windows, put one or two table
spoonfuls Of ammonia into a bucket Of
warm water. After washing thoroughly
rub with old newspapers and they will
look beautifully bright.
Grease spots may be taken out with
weak ammonia in water, and il very
carefully applied will remove spots from
paintings and chromos. Lay soft, white
paper over and iron with a moderately
hot iron.
Equal parts OF ammonia and turpen-
tine will take the paint out Of clothing,

How Indians are med.

AS the Indian child grows he commits
acts from time to time each Of which
gives him anew name. For example,
he may see bear and run screaming to
the tepee. The folks laugh at him, and
call him Runs-from a-bear. Later on he
may become the possessor of an unruly
pony which he fears to ride, and becomes
known as Afraid. -his-horse. Or, he
may mount horse from which another
Indian has been thrown, and then is
spoken of as Rides the horse. Further
on he becomes a great hunter and kills
five bears, and then they call him Five
bears, and when he Stays another his
name changes to Sixbear He may per-
form a valiant deed in battle and ride his
horse through the camp of the enemy,
for which he is dubbed Charges through
the.camp. During the conflict he may
kill one of the enemy. II his victim is
the only one slain he is called Kills the
enemy. But if others fall the one he has
killed must be described, as kiIIs-the-one
with'the big knee. II be braids in his
hair a yellow feather which he has
plucked from the tail OF an eagle he may
he called Eagle-tail, Eagle-festher, Vel
low tail or Yelow-feather. II he gives it
to his friend he will be named Gives
feather, but il he refuses to part with it
his name will change to Keeps his festh-
err Or he may obtain his name from some
other object. II he is accustomed to ride
what is commonly known as calico"
horse he may be called Spotted horse,
but il his horse has a short tail he will be
known as Bobtsil'hOrse. The chances
are that he will be known by all the
foregoing names. His enemies in the
tribe will continue to speak OF him AZ
Long ears, Runs from-a- bear. or Afraid
of-his- horse, while his friends will call
theenemy. For this reason it occurs
that il you speak of the Indian in the
presence OF certain members of the tribe
and call him Sixbears they will laugh at
you and say: That not his name; his
name is Runs .from.a- bear" But if you
speak OF him to certain others as Runs
irom-s. bear they will scowl and say !:
THAT not his name; his name Kills-the-
enemy"
Hence it will be seen that the Indian
names are nothing, delusion and u
snare, and the practice OF converting
them into English appears eminently un-
wise. II is certain that the names on
the rolls at the agency is the interpreta-
ton OF only one OF the Indians several
names" A short Indian name in their
own vernscular, or a syllaole or two OF u
long one, il euphonIous and pronounees-
able, as they usually are, will answer
quite well for family name, but the
TRANSACTIONS are never satisfactory, and
cannot be too strongly condemned

cabin. He was glad to see me back and
did not look any the worse for wear.
Now, if any reader has lived alone on
the frontier miles from his nearest neigh

Prunes. He slept with me, ate with me,
and for four months was my sole chum
and confidential friend. | told him all
my hopes, fears, victories, failures, and
all about myself, and he in turn would
wag his tail and grin as much as to say

THE BEST REMEDY FOR RHEU
MATISM

From the Fairhaven On. " Register.
Mr.. James Rowland, of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, and instead of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly, and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or a pain, and
finds that it always gives relief
He says that no medicine which she
has used ever did her as much good.
