Surgery Without Blood.

The arrest of bleeding in surgical OPP
erations is now said to be assured by
means of a recently invented instru-
ment. A platinum wire, so arranged
as to carry a current of electricity, is
enclosed in the blades of pair of
steel forceps or any other required in
strument, the wire for this purpose be-
ing insulated by bed of burnt pipe
clay.
This arrangement being perfected a
current of suitable voltage is turned
on, the artery seized and compressed,
and in a few seconds the tissue and ar
ter:al walls are so agglutinatcd that the
passage of blood is rendered impossi-
BILE. The temperature employed is about
1870 degrees F., the fact being thus ap-
parent that the principle involved is

efficacious, they say. These warm
baths may last with safety a quarter
of an hour, followed by cold shower
bath. This treatment two or three
times a week will put the body in a
healthy condition and give the skin a
delightful appearance and soft touch.
The baths are all prepared in the same
way. Rose leaves, crushed violets,
hay violets, oat straw and pine sprigs
can all be used. The flowers chosen
should be put in a bag and boiling
water poured over, the bag and water
boiling for ten minutes. The boil
ing water is then cooled and
added to the prepared bath. Hay
flowers are really the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds,
even the hay itself An oat
straw bath is made by boiling the
stalks and heads of oats for half an
hour in a kettle and then pouring the
decoration into the bathtub.
For the pine sprig bath gather fresh
twigs, small branches and small cones,
cut into bits, put in bag and boil half
an hour. The CHIEF effect of this bath
on the skin is to bring it into activity
and renovate it at once. Besides, it's
fragrance makes It delightful.

The Modern Maiden.

Bicycles on War Vessels.

A modern man-of-war is about the
last place to look for a bicycle, yet on
nearly all the large steel craft
bicycles may be discovered tuck
ed away in out-of-the-way cor
ners. 1t would be difficult and
highly destructive of discipline for any
officer to use the wheel at sea, but it
must be remembered that a greater
part of the time the big cruisers and
battleships are tied up at some navy
yard or dry dock, or are stationed for
months anchored in some foreign har-
Dor. During these seasons of weary
waiting the wheel comes into use.
Where the officers are favored with
quarters large enough to stand up in,
many wheels may be seen aboard the
larger vessels. They are hung from
the ceiling by straps and cords, and
they swing there when the ship is at
sea or when they are not being used
by their owners. Among the younger
officers it is not quite the proper thing
to be without the cycle. A golf suit is
also popular with the younger Set and
one is included in nearly every ward
robe procured upon graduation from
Annapolis.

The Government Forbids the Banns.
A troop of cavalry has been sent to

school. They are not like the young
sters whom you and 1 know who get
their hair twisted into two braids in
the morning and are started off to the
nearest school for young ladies with a
bag loaded with books and lucheon.
These youngsters, whose going to
school is accompanied by the tramp of
horses hoofs and the clank of sabres,
are daughters of the Bannock Indians.
They have no great longing to drink OF
the springs Of knowledge themselves,
and, in addition to that, the young
Bannock braves do not encourage
them. The braves claim every girl in
the tribe as the wife of somebody, no
matter if she is not more than nine
years old. The girl in the picture 10

The Indian agent at Fort Hall, Ida
no, who has charge of the Bannocks,
sent the native police to gather in
the pupils for the school which the
government maintains there for In
dian children. The Indians do not
take kindly to education. Nine out
of every ten Indian fathers would
rather see their sons and daughters
work than study books. Working has
long been placed under the ban by
these willy Indians.
1t is the customary thing for an In
dian agent to arrest the copper skinned
youngsters of school age and bring
them to the font of knowledge by
force and arms.
Lieutenant Irwin, who has charge of
the Bannock reservation, which GEN.
tiers around Fort Hall, was much an
noyed by the habit the young Ban
nocks had of proclaiming that the
young girls were their wives. He
sent the Indian police out to bring in
the children, for the school house had
been newly whitewashed and a fresh
consignment of books had been sent by
the government The police found an
Indian girl who had attended school
the year before She was sitting at
the door of tepee In all the dignity OF
her fourteen years.
mo study" she said defiantly. me
married now"
The police Immediately placed her
under arrest, in accordance with the
amiable custom with regard to school
children. That caused trouble right
away. The young Bannock who in
sisted that he was the girls husband,
assisted by half hundred OF his
tribesmen, attacked the native police
and took away the girl. The police
returned for reinforcements.
The girl was recaptured and three
of the ringleaders of the rioters were
arrested and placed in school. The
girl, like Shakespeare's schoolboy,
went unwillingly to her lessons.
| The young Bannocks seem to have
been abetted by the older squaws in
this conspiracy to keep the girls from
attending school. In the encounters
several of the police were injured and
many young Bannock is going about
with a sore head.
Lieutenant Irwin found that the Fort
Hall school was in danger of being
broken Up. He reported to the Com
missioner for Indian Affairs, who in
turn sent word to the War Depart
ment. The result of 1t all was that
Troop, F., of the Fourth cavalry, ar
rived at Fort Hall and began the work
of pacifying the Bannocks. That
means that the ringleaders of the riot
will be placed under arrest and that
the chillren will go to school, if need
| be, between files of horsemen.
1t is necessary to arrest most of the
Bannock children which the govern
ment wishes to be educated. After
the process of education is completed
the children go back to their parents,
sell the clothes which have been given
to them and relapse into savagery.
There is an excellent school on the
reservation, with four teachers.
