A Great ser.amer.

More than fifty years ago Laehlan
Mcdonald left his home in Strath-
spey, Scotland, and went to the shores
Of Lake Winnipeg, He did not ne
glect to carry with him his beloved
bagpipe, and many an evening it spoke
to him Of the old home beyond the
seas.
Even in daytime, when he was busy
in the woods Telling trees, lie would
have it by his side, and on one occa-
sion he had reason to be glad that it
was so near.
He was merrily swinging his axe
when he was suddenly surrounded by
a party of Indians, who looked very
formidable as they drew nearer, gestic-
ulating in particularly threatening
manner. Things began to seem omi-
nous, when a happy thought came to
the Scotchman.
Selling his bagpipe he blew blast
so loud and long and shrill that the
startled red men looked upon him for
a moment in CONSERVATION, and then
took TO their heels, never stopping till
the thick shadows of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent to such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged
cry; from that time the Scotchman was
known among them as the great
screamer of the pale faces. y

Ispro.y IL Not HeredItary.

That leprOsy is a contagious disease
is unanimously admitted by the best
authorities; but the exact manner Of
its coniagion is certainly difficult to
understand. There are many exam
pies OF persons living for years in the
most intimate family relations with
lepers aud remaining uninfected. And
often but one member OF thes family
will acquire the disease. On the other
hand, the history Of the disease in the
different parts Of the world shows that
II never originates spontaneously, but
that its origin can always be traced
TO human importation. There are also
a very large number of recorded cases
where leprosy has resulted from
single contact with an abraded surface
with some lesion or secretion of an
affected individual. These apparently
contradictory facts must be explained
ON the theory that some peculiar, in-
herent predispositien, which exists
only in limited number of individ-
uals, is necessary for the development
of this strange disease. There is no
reason to believe that leprosy is an
hereditary disease. B. Foster, MD,

Animal Affection.

Port Jervis hunters drove into the
town a few days ago with the carcass
of $50 pound deer, which Sam Nanin-
wegan shot in the woods near Cahoon-
sic. The deer lost its lie owing to
its over-fondness for an Attorney
heifer belonging to Abel Bugsbee.
Each day she persisted in jumping a
fence and seeking her wild comran-
ion. The farmer called the attention
of the sportsmen to the peculiar at
tachment, and they soon found the
animal. All attempts to brighten the
buck away failed when the law against
killing was in force, and the animal
seemed loath to leave the neighbor-

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
I Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for eXamina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following ietterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Ccntralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
YOU for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured o:

STORY OF A CHEYENNE EEup.
Recalled by = BaekskiR Vest on ExhI.
billion In kansas

In the window Of a store in Leaven-
worth, Kansas, is a vest which carries
with it the story Of Indian treachery
aud hate.
The vest is made entirely Of buck
skin, completely covered over with
beads worked into peculiar aud fanci-
full designs
The Cheyenne buck who sold il to
its present owner told how many
years ago one of the high chiefs Of the
tribe was to be replaced by a younger
man. The selection of chief was con-
sidered to lie between two young men,
the sons of chiefs, who we're very
prominent among their people. Elec-
ton excitement rose to a tumultuous
degree. The campaign fever extend
ed to the squaws and thence to the
maidens of the tribe. Two of the
prettiest girls of the tribe made a
beaded vest which should be present
Ell to the successful contestant. At
last the choice was msde. The vest
was formally presented to the new
NN'' "A' AS bObdu W Ludht tuiCo loA
the government of his people.
The buck who had lost in the race
was not idle. 81 will arouse the tribe
against him." he said; and so well
did he succeed that many of the
younger men of the tribe were won
over to his side. On a night when
the chief and his followers were asleep
after wild revel the insurgents crept
upon them, slew the ruler and the
women who had made the vest and
many others.
And then for many years there
ragged guerilla warfare between the
perpetrators of the massacre and the
main body of the Cheyennes. One by
one they were killed, until at last only
the leader remained. From point to
point the avengers hunted him, until
at last he was lost among the many
western tribes which at that time in
habited the western states
The vest left by the leader who had
been murdered was held sacred. For
many years it passed from chief to
chief, until it finally found its way
into the Leayenworth store.

r. q. Cleveland, druggist of Wat
erville, Conn, was cleaning a desk

Turgeon. Each held the bulb of an
incandescent electric lamp. Each re-
ceived ashock which threw them with
ing to the floor. Neither could re-
linquish his hold. DR.. Holroyd, who
was in the store, seized Turgeon, and
was himself thrown down and badly
burned. Finally both men were
wrenched from the lamps, but it WAS
several hours before they recovered
Their hands We're badly burned and

why the Light We Out.

In front of the high altar in the
cathedral at Salzburg there is a great
lamp that is supposed to burn ''for-
ever and a day" One morning, years
ago, worshipers were surprised to see
il go out, aud this was repeated morn
ing after morning, always about the
same time. 1t was thought the at
tendant had neglected to give it suffi-
cient oil, and though he declared his
innocence he was told that he would
be discharged if the oversight were
repeated. Unwilling to deal unjustly
with the man the dean of the cathedral
hid himself one night to see if he could
solve the mystery. He had not long
to wait. About 10 o'clock big rat
was seen descending therope by which
the lamp was suspended. Having
reached the ell, it fed freely and then
went away by the way it came. Need
less to say that the attendant held his
place. Detroit Free Press.

In sinking the cassions for the new
East River bridge, bedrock has finally
been struck at a depth of los feet be-
low high water on the Brooklyn side.
At the construction of the st. Louis
bridge some of the caissons were sunk
to depth of 100 feet g l-2 inches, but
with this exception the caisson for
the Brooklyn bridge tower is the great
est depth ever reached in America by
the pneumatic process. In the Engi-
neering News, in which this statement
appears, mention is made of the great
difficulty in carrying on the work con-
tinuously at this depth, as only 10
men could work at once in the caisson,
and the maximum time for each shift
was 45 minutes, the same men being
only able to work in two shifts each
day. For the "a hours daily work
II gangs, aggregating 21O men, are
required, with aforeman for each gang.
