GENERAL BUSINESS POINTERS.

Qtemized from Bradstreet's.)
The money market continues extremely
dull at Boston.
Leaf tobacco rs active and sales large,
with satisfactory prices, are reported
from Louisville. Collections generally
are good.
Orders for spring dry goods, clo.hiag
and shoes are being placed satisfactorily
at Chicago, but heavy buying is not gem
orally looked for.
There has been some business in iron at
Pittsburg, but the unsettled condition of
the steel market has had the effect of re-
tarding sales in that line.
General business does not improve at
Providence. The unsatisfactory condition
of wooden manufacturing is further en-
phasized by the suspension during the
current month of two Rhode Island cen
Germs engaged in the industry.
st. Louis reports that purchases OF
necessities are largely confined to sort
ing-up orders by mail. Pig iron and iron
and steel are quiet, without change oil
prices, but considerable figuring is going
on for next years business.
In other than groceries and some lead
ing staple lines. Cleveland's jobbing bust
ness continues light, no general improve
ment being looked for until the order
for spring deliveries set in, in which re
spect the feeling is a hopeful one.

INDIANS EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY.
How the Mojnves Explain the Divis-
ion of the Race.

The mystery surrounding the origin Of
the Indian race is greatly enhanced by
listening to some of the quaint legends. /
Here is one of them. related by the older
men of the Mojave tribe says the Los
Angeles Herald.
AT the time OF the Mojave the white
man, the negro and all other people lived
together with their god Mulevelia, whose
mother was the earth and whose father
the heaven.
They were all supplied with food,
clothing and many Injuries. Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of inn
plements and machinery to work with.
Everything was manufactured, and es-
pecially matches.
zone day Mulevelia died and all the
people excepting the Moiaves fled after,
looting the camps of everything they
could lay their hands on, not even leav-
ing a match.
Here was a pretty state of affairs, and
the dead god awaiting cremationl
"There seemed to be no other alterna-
live than to dispatch a messenger for a
spark from one Of the brilliant luminaries
of the upper region, and a coyote was
sent to a star for some fire.
After a long time he returned without
success, and so hungry that he tried 20
eat up the dead god.
"Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up Mule
velia.
After the cremation. which took
place somewhere near Fort Mohave the
mountains at the foot of the canyon
parted, and the Colorado flowed through
and swept the ashes away.
"Mastanho now became chief and dl-
vided the Indians into tribes, and gave
them their allotments of land"

TANNING THE NOBLE ELKS
AN EASTERN OREGON MAN EsTAB-
LISHEs A NOVEL INDUSTRY.
A Pair of Cow EIks VIII Travel 100
Miles Without Showing the
Least Sign of Fatigue.

ELL E. Chamberlain, secretary and gen.
Company, operating in the John Day
country. Umatilla county, has left for
his home after passing several days in
Portland. says the Oregonian. In an In
terview he said:
THE mountains in our country are the
natural home of the elk. The grass there,
upon which they subsist is highly nutri-
tious and hundreds of these animals,
together with bear and deer make their
homes in the Businesses of our noun
tains. Elk is the principal game, and the
great number in which they are found
has led me to engage in what 1 think
will prove a profitable business. This is
simply the capture and domestication of
these noble animals. In connection with
Others we have fitted up an inclosure
far up in the mountains, and our pur-
pose is this winter to catch what elk
we can and tame them for domestic pur-
poses. Their capture is an easy matter
when the heavy snow falls, and our
object will be to make captives of the
yearlings, and then break them in, as
one would a horse, for driving purposes.
"A pair OF COW elks will travel 100
miles without showing the least sign OF
| fatigue, II allowed their own gait, but
it would be unfortunate to put them on
a run. Properly broken. any woman
| could drive them. 1t Is our purpose to
take the yearllngs and properly train
them to work under harness, and then
| breed them for the market. We have
such inducements offered us from the
east that It is certain that the invest
ment can be made paying one, as we
are offered good prices for such teams
as we may deliver. A we'll broken team
OF COW elks will be worth at least $500.
and the novelty will prove so great in
the east that the business is bound to
prove productive.
Outside of this elk meat is in demand,
and the carcass of a good sized elk will
readily bring SIS for table purposes. and
this is where the bull elk will come in.
, I leave for the John Day country tonight
and, on arriving there, expect that my
partner In this new enterprise will have
all the arrangements made for the ex.
q pected haul of elks, and IN another sea
I son we will have thoroughly broker
teams for driving to ship east. 1t will
cause a sensation, and those with thu
money to patronize such fad will b
e able to drive their elk teams just tn
I same as horses, and the animals are sur
Il to make fine appearance"

What Cured Lille Stanley Michel Of Ghorea.
Ftonn the Repu1ltcan.Journal, oadens1ura, " J.

A letter was lately received ct the office of
the Rcpublican-Journdl from Hammond to
the effect that the cure of an extraordinary
severe case of St. Vitus' dance had been
effected on the person of little Stanley Nichol,
the eight-year-old son of Mrs. Charles Nichol
of that village.
A reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who, after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about mile outside
the village. Mrs. Nichol said:
A little over year ago my boy, Sta7ley
Nlchol, who is now only eight years I'D,
alarmed me one day by being taken with a
strange gurgling in his throat. After the
first the attacks became quite frequent
Stanley did not complain of any pain, but
said that he could not help making the noise.
At that time there was a New York doctor
stopping in the village who was a specialist
on throat and nasal diseases. | took my son
to him and after a careful examination he
said that there was nothing the matter with
the boys throat. The gurgling in his opinion
was caused by nervous contraction of the
muscles of the throat He asked who our
family physician was and said that he would
consult with him before he prescribed.
STANLEY rapidly grew worse. He was
always a sickly boy. One day I noticed
that he was jerking his arm up in very
peculiar manner. A few dG:s-s later he
seemed to lose control of his legs. first one
and then the other would be pulled up and
then Strengthened out again. He was per-
feet bundle of nerves and was rapidly losing
all control of himself. When eating at the
table or drinking, his arm would often witch

his head and rolling his eyes up so that only
the white parts showed. | took him TO our

cine for him. He took it and commenced to

Secondly, the arrangement in the gro

Gain Through Loving Others.

Intercourse with our fellows carries
with it never-failing possibilities of
growth for ourselves. We are in a
world of persons to learn the interest
which attaches to them, and to escape
out of ourselves in our intercourse with
them. Duty doing toward others is
hard until we realize that they are be-
ings of the same nature with us, with
the same sorrows as ourselves, and
thus learn to put ourselves into their
place. and to make for them all the
allowances we fairly could ask for our
selves. BY such exercise of sympathy
we come to love them, and to love the
God who brought them and ourselves
into being. Those who do not get be-
meath the surface of human life and
find in other men the objects of true
affection are missing one of the greatest
goods that earth has to offer.
