sun sr 81. ANA the wenther.


The interesting question whether
there is any measurable influence ex.
erted upon the earth's atmosphere, and
particularly upon what we call "the
weather." by the black spots on the
sun, is again under discussion. Sun
spots increase and decrease in size and
number periodically, the average time
from one maximum of spots to another
being about II years. At present the
spots are becoming less numerous, and
their minimum period is approaching,
Atarecent meeting of the Royal Meteor
illogical society Mr.. A. 3. MacDowall gave
reasons for believing that, as the sun
spot minimum draws near. there is
tendency toward greater heat in the
summer and greater cold in the winter
than is the case near the sun-spot max
imum. The part of the world specially
considered by Mr.. Macdonald was west
ern Europe, but if Europe is affected by
sun-spots, America must be affected by
them also.-Youth's COMPANION.

THE HURRYING FEET OF WOMEN

at the newborn infants cry, tells the story
of woman's sympathy for her sister-woman
If women would only spread the medical
gospel, that woman is untitled for wife
hood and motherhood as long as she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
womanly organism, there would be less
necessity for the sisterly sympathy that a
woman receives when she is in the throes
of child-bearing.
"A woman who is thoroughly strong and
healthy in womanly way has to suffer
comparatively little pain and sickness when
she becomes mother. DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that bear the burdens
of maternity and gives them health,
strength and elasticity. 1t allays inflamma-
ton, heals liberation and soothes pain. 1t
banishes the discomforts of the faint
hearted period and makes baby's advent
easy and almost painless. 1t insures the
newcomers health. Over $1,000 women
have testified to its marvellous merits and
many of them have permitted their expert
ences, names, addresses and photographs
to be printed in DR.. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser, SO that other women may
learn of this wonderful medicine. Good
medicine dealers sell it. .

II don't see" said Mr.. Billtops, "but
what we shall have to alter or amend
the familiar phrase: When my ship
comes in We are all going to be rich
when our ship comes in. 1t has been
delayed by wind and tide, by various
adverse circumstances, for it is a sail
ing vessel, one of the old, old kind, with
lofty spars and widespread wings.
But its cargo is all right, and it will
come into port some day. But what
are we going to do about this steam
ship business? There's mighty few
sailing ships nowadays, most every-
thing is steamers; and our fortune.
like most of the folks, must be on
some steamer. Maybe it's only small
fortune and on slow boat. But the
slowest of the tramps bang through,
somehow, in about so long, whatever
the weather may be, and if our for
tune doesn't come on that boat then
what is the fair presumption? That it
isn't coming that way at all. And what

give up waiting for our ship to come in,

Pefriled Indian Guard.

A petrified Indian mounts guard on
the bank of a stream in Yellowstone
Park. The spot is = -ar pretty little
cove within sight of the Lake hotel,
which is visited every year by hundreds
of people from all parts of the globe.
At one time small stream flowed down
between two hills into the cove, but it
is now dry. Due west from the spot is
Franklin island, three miles from the
shore. After considerable trouble 4.
Jay Haynes, of St. Paul, succeeded in
taking photograph of the remains.
The picture shows the Indian in stand
ing position, with the left arm extend
cd upward. The right arm is close to
the side, and the legs are in the position
one would assume when taking step
forward. AS the Indian stands in the
picture he is about eight feet high.
This was not his natural height, for
dirt and rock solicited below his feet
The body weighs 400 pounds.-N. Y

Alaskan Indian Dance.

Alaskan Indians afe very fond Of
dancing, and, although some of them
understand the dances of modern civil
cation, they all prefer the dance of their
forefathers. This mainly consists in
jumping around in circle, the center
of which is occupied by the musician.
The latter beats drum, which is gen.
orally made of an iron kettle with mus
lin or some similar fabric stretched
over the head and frightened by means
of paste of -four and water. The beat
ing of this drum is accompanied with a
chanting of the war songs, passages of
which excite great enthusiasm.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

The Indians in the interior of Canada
still adhere to the primitive mode of dis
posing of the remains of the dead, the
corpse, attired in new suit of clothes,
being placed on platform some ten or
twelve feet high. Those living nearer
TO civilization have adopted burial. but
even then the new suit of clothes is in
dispensable, and the body is placed in
an upright or sitting position on some
hillside facing lake or river, that the
eyes of the dead may see the canoes or
chimans passing by. Favorite weapons
are invariably inferred with the bodies.

The Coming sleeve.

Fashion shows tendency toward
plain sleeves, but not those without any
fullness whatever, as few gathers or
plaits are necessary even when there
is an epaulette.
Another sleeve has short circular
puff at the top, and from there to the
wrist close plain fit. The tucked
sleeves are continued for thin materials,
bur not for heavy winter goods.
Elbow sleeves are only seen on tea
gowns and negligee sacks of pictur-
esque style. All street and many even
ing sleeves are cut long, but not in
points over the hands.

Fine household Preparation.

Cleansing cream made after the fol-
lowing recipe is highly recommended
for general use in the household. II

four quarts of hot water, and when
nearly cold stir in four ounces of am

Nature is very considerate and prov

vast snowfelds with safety, when il

lures of their class have dark fur dur
