pounds. 1t was a wild and strange spectacle
to see this long caravan with its half-savage
escort careering about on horseback, and the
carts full of their women and children, who
were to do all the work of the camp to cut
and cure the meat and to beat it up and to
make and pack the pemmican.
1t was quite as curious a sight to witness
these people in camp with their carts tilted
up until the shafts were almost perpendicu-

Either you must cure your lung troubles or
THEY WILL KILL YOU. That's the
whole situation in a nutshell
Never was there cure for lung troubles
equal to the newly discovered DR.. Slocum
treatment. This forms a system of three
remedies that are used simultaneously, aud
supplement each others curative action The
treatment has immortalized DR.. Slocum's
name. 1t cures weak lungs, catarrh, bTOn-
chitis, asthma, coughs, consumption and every
other ailmeat of the pulmonary region. IL
destroys every germ that can affect the res
piratory system, and even In advanced stages
of lung trouble positively arrests the tuber-
cular growth, while it also builds up the
patient so that his system is enabled to throw
off scrofula, rheumatism and other wasting
diseases. Thousands of cured cases already
prove these claims. Thousands of grateful
people bless the discovery.
DR.. Slocum wants everybody to know the
surprising merits of his system. He has ar.
ranged to give a free treatment three bottles

to him by letter. Full instructions for use

the United States and the British possessions
These settlements gradually extended them
selves up the Red River to our boundary line
at Pembina and even still farther south.
After some controversies between this
colony and the American Fur Company the
initial point of the boundary line was estab-
lished, and the colOnists who had settled
along the Red River south Of the British line
were removed TO the north, and in 1Si9 their
village of Scotch and French half-breeds was
stretched along the Red River on both sides
from Pembina, just on the boundary, almost
to Fort Garry, at the mouth of the Assinni-
boin River, 50 miles north
In 1S49 Minnesota was organized az a
Territory, and at that time included the
whole region between the western extremity
of Lake Superior and the upper Missouri
River and between the British line on the
north and Wisconsin and Iowa on the south.
Our relations with the British fur traders
on the north were entirely unsettled and IN
satisfactory. Oar territory was regularly in
vaded every year by the hunters Of the Hud-
sons Bay Company, as well as by thousands
of half-breeds from the colonies along the Red
River, the first to secure furs for the COM
pany, the last 20 hunt the buffalo. great
herds Of which roamed over the plains south
of the British line.
The pemmican - is the main source of
food for the half-breeds during the long and
severe Winter of their country, and is in
truth condensation in the smallest compass
of all the essential elements of flesh and fat
II is made by first curing the buffalo meat
by cutting it into thin strips and thoroughly
drying it in the sun, then beating it up al
most into powder and packing it as tightly
as possible with alternate layers of the mar
row and melted fat put into bags made of the
hide Of the buffalo. Each bag weighs about
so pounds and possesses as much solid animal
food as could in any way be compressed into
the same space. For the purpose Of prepar-
ing their Winter supply of pemmican the
half-bTeeds from Pembina and beyond moved
TO the plains south Of them and spent the
whole Summer in camp.
STRANGE CARAVANS.

He enlisted in Co. !, SD Ohio, in Sep
TENDER, 1861. and was later commissioned
Chaplain. He held religious services
whenever possible, and constantly looked
after the interests OF members Of the
regiment. He was known as the Fight
ing Chaplain During the battles at At
lanta, Ga, he was at the front. While
several of the men loaded nuskets he
stood up in the line and fired, taking
deliberate aim. He was a good marks
man. Cool and deliberate, he continually
encouraged the men by his example. For
bravery in those battles and for his de
votion to the wounded after the battles he
was awarded a gold medal by General
Orders from Mai.-Gen. +. p. Blair. Since
the close OF the war until the past 10
years he was an active minister in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He was an
active worker in James Price Post.

Nearly everybody you meet will regard il
as kind of insult to be asked if they have
weak lungs. All seem to have solid faith in

there is " heavy cold, - g q touch of bron-

G1ass Mirrors of the Ancisnts

M. Berthelot has from time to time
unearthed a vast amount of valuable in
formation respecting the chemistry and
technology of the anoients. His latest
researches have reference to some glass
mirrors found near Rheims and which
date from the third and fourth cen
turtles. The glass was coated with me-
tallic substance and also with layer of
whitish material. The metal proved to
be lead, with no trace Of gold, silver,
copper, tin, anthony or mercury, nor
was there any organic substance pres
ent, showing that no extraneous mate
rial was used to cement the lead to the
glass. The mirrors appeared to have
been cut from hollow blown glass
globes, and it is possible that before
being cut the molten lead had been
poured into the interior, adhering to
the previously warmed glass. The whit
ish layer consisted of lead carbonate and
lead oxide formed by the oxidation of
the lead coating and calcium carbonate,
which had been deposited from the wa
ter Of the district in which the mirrors
were found. and Iron.

Various Kinds and What They Are Sever.
ally Good For.
Nature supplies US with two complete
foods, milk and eggs, which contain in
the proper proportions all the necessary
elements for the sustenance of our bod
les As these are the only complete
foods it is necessary in the absence to
have mixed foods, and it is in the mix
ing that mistakes occur, because the fat
forming. muscle forming and other
parts are taken in wrong proportions,
some in excess and others the reverse.
Left to his own taste primitive man in
variably selects the best food. This in
stinct, however. is defective at the pres
ent day. For children food rich in bone
forming substances is necessary. Among
muscle forming foods the following are
the best and most common: Oatmeal
porridge, with rich milk and whole
meal bread buttered; meat is a highly
condensed food of this class. To men OF
sedentary occupation free use of meat
is injurious. For men engaged at hard
manual labor generous meat diet is
admirable.
Vegetables contain but little nourish-
ment, but are useful as blood purifiers
and also supply bulk to the food, which
is necessary to give the consumer salts
faction. Milk should never be taken
with meat, because they are both rich
in one substance. Tea should not be
taken with meat either, because it
renders the meat tough and indigesti-
BILE. Beef ranks first as muscle former
and mutton next. Pork makes very
digestible dish, and fowl and bacon are
a very useful and palatable dish. Cere-
ais enter largely into our diet and are
of much value, because they supply food
or starch as well as muscle food. Pota-
toes provide little nutriment, but with
plenty of milk, which supplies the pre-
else ingredients they lack, good diet
is formed.
Sugar is we'll worthy Of notice, and
the child's love of it is a perfectly
healthy instinct and should always be
gratified in reason. Fruits are good
blood purifiers and should be considered
as essentials rather than luxuries. Beef
