Indians as Runners.

General Crook is quoted by Edward s. Ellis as having seen an Apache lope for 1, 500 feet up the side of mountain without showing the first sign of fa- tigue, there being no perceptibIe in crease of respiration. Captain H. L. Scott of the Seventh cavalry has related some astonishing feats performed by the Chiracahua Apaches forming Troop l. of his regiment. He tells how nine of these Indians, after hard days work, by way of recreation, pursued coyote for two hours, captured the nimble brute and brought it into camp; how, on another occasion, the scouts gave chase to deer, ran it down some nine miles from camp and fetched it in alive.
 Hence 1 see no good reason for doubt ing the word of an old timer met in the Rocky mountains, who told me that, in the days before the Atlantic and Pa cific railroad was built, the Pima In- dians Of Arizona would recover settlers stray horses along the overland trail by walking them down in the course of two or three days. After this one may begin to believe that Living Jfm'' Beckwourth, whose remarkable adven- lures early ill this century are preserved in book form, was much maligned man, and that he spoke no more than the truth when he said he had known instances of Indian runners accomplish ing upward of no miles in one day.

Questioning Is Not Conversation.

The man who imagines that the art of conversation consists in asking ques- tions spells conversation as much as the man who never asks any. People of this description will interrupt a speaker as frequently as they do in the French chamber, and run anxiously from sub ject to subject with their interrogatories, like cackling hen that is going to: lay an egg. Horace Walpole, when exiled at Houghton, bemoans the existence of such pest in~ the person of an aunt. Writing to his friend Sir Horace Mann, he says: "I have an aunt here, family piece of goods, an old remnant of in- quisitive hospitality and economy. Sks wore me so down by day and night with interrogations that dreamed all night she was at my ear with a who's, why's, when's and what's, till at last in my very sleep I cried out, For heavens sake. madam. ask me no more questions "
 Dr. Johnson's dislike of being ques- tioned is we'll known, and he gives the classic refutation of the habit ill his own inimitable style: "Sir, questioning is not the mode of conversation among gentlemen. It is assuming superiority, and it is particularly wrong to question a man concerning himself "-Cham- bers' Journal

THREE HAPPY WOMEN
Relieved of Periodic Pain and Backache.

"Before using Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, my health was being gradually undermined. suf- fered untold agony from painful men, struation, baclxache, pain on top of my head, and ovarian trouble. The conn pound entirely cured me.-MRs. GEoRGIE WAss, o23 Bank St., Cincin- nati, O.
 .For years had suffered with pain fu1 menstruation every month. One day little book of Mrs. Pinkham's was thrown into my house, and I sat right down and read it. then got some of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and Liver Pills. l can heartily say that to-day I feel like a new woman; my monthly suffering is thing of the past. shall always praise the Vegetable Compound for what it has done for me.-MRs. MAR eAREr ANDERSON, 363 Lisbon St.. Lewiston, Me.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Oom- pound has cured me of painful men struation and backache. The agony I suffered during menstruation nearly drove me wild. Now this is all over, thanks to Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and advice."-MRs. CARRIE V. WILLIAMS, South Mills, N. c.
 The great volume of testimony proves conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a safe, sure, and almost infallible rem edy in cases of irregularity, suppressed, excessive, or painful monthly periods.

Got a whole Lot For Nothing.

The man who always wants some- thing for nothing made 8 discovery last week in Diamond street restaurant. A waiter upset glass on the marble top ped lunch counter. breaking the edge of the glass. The waiter carelessly tossed it under the counter and got another with smooth edge for the customer he was serving.
 slightly damaged?" asked the customer of the restaurant proprietor, relating the circumstance.
 "Oh, we give them away; have to get rid of them; can't endanger the lips of customers by serving them in nicked glasses. But why are you interested?"
 "Why, thought if you would give me few of the old glasses my wife might use them for jellies."
 "Give me your address and I'll send you some," volunteered the restaurant keeper.
 The man with longing for articles without price went away gleefully, call culating mentally on how much he had saved on jelly glasses. Two days later, when he went home from business, he found 13 barrels in his back yard. His wife said she supposed he had sent them, and she paid the man $4.75 for deliver ing them. When opened, the barrels were found to contain broken glassware and china of all sorts. None of it could be used, not even for jelly glasses. An ash hauler charged $2 for taking away the rubbish. The man who wants things for nothing has withdrawn his patron age from a particular restaurant in Dia- mond street.-Pittsburg Chronicle Te1e- graph.

Reconeiled to Earth.

"What did you say those are?'' in- quired the man with the old fashioned derby hat who had paused to patronize the curbstone astronomer. -...
 "Those are the moons of Jupiter, /" re- piled the proprietor of the telescope.
 "Let me see. Jupiter-that's one of the planets. .''
 "Assuredly."
 "Well, there's great deal to com plain of on this earth, but it might be worse. With all the drawbacks. Pm glad live here instead of on Jupiter. !"
 "Of course. You have no assurance that the conditions there would be adapted to your kind of life.''
 ''It isn't that. I'm one of the sort of people who can bunk down anywhere and be comfortable with piece of hard tack and cup of coffee. There's only one thing that gives me the blues, and that's seeing the new moon over my left shoulder. It's bad enough on this earth having to be on the lookout for one moon every four weeks, but if lived on a planet where there were four of them I never would know where I stood. It all goes to show that no mat ter how bad things are they might be worse. Detroit Free Press.

READING SEALED LETTERS.
A German Scientist Shows How This May
 He AccompIished.

A German Scientist Shows How This May
 Re Accomplished.
 It is not generally known that sealed letters may in many cases be read with out opening the envelopes or doing them the least injury. It was discovered by German physiologist by the use of an embryoscope, or egg glass, that the shells of eggs were of very unequal thickness.
 It occurred to him to make expert ments in order to ascertain how many leaves of ordinary letter or official pa per must be laid above and below written leaf in order to make it illegible to highly sensitive eye in the direct sunlight. He found that after he had rested his eye in dark room for 10 or 15 minutes he cold read piece of writ ing over the mirror of the embryoscope that had been covered with eight layers of paper.
 He called in other observers to con- firm this The letters, however, that could thus be deciphered were written in dark ink on one side of the paper only. If four written sides were folded together, and especially if there had been crossing, it was hard to make out the drift of the writing, and there are some kinds of writing which, when folded twice or thrice, admit too little light for the purpose of decipherment.
 In this way possibly many of the per formances of "clairvoyants" may be ex- plained. By means of the egg glass it is, as a rule, easier to make out the con- tents of letter or telegram without the slightest tampering with the envelope than it is to detect the movements of the embryo in the egg.
 Suppose the writer of a billet, the contents of which are known only to himself, lets it out of his hand and loses sight of it for five minutes. It may be readily carried either into the direct sunlight or into electric or magnesium light and be read by the aid of the egg glass, The placing of a piece of car tridge paper in the envelope or the col bring of it black is 8 means of defense at hand

A New Means of Sterilization.

One of the simplest and most thor. ough methods of sterilizing when it can be used is by means of heat. One of the difficulties in the use of this means is that the articles may be spoiled, espe- cially where the heat is long continued. Baking or placing articles in dry heat for any length of time is not only an unreliable method, but attended with the danger of fire if degree of heat is sufficiently thorough to sterilize them. Boiling or steaming is objectionable because most things would be rendered useless from the contact with moisture Experiments have proved that hot oil is one of the best sterilizers known, espe- cially for instruments.
 One of our most eminent surgeons has demonstrated the fact that the most complete sterilizing follows the dipping of surgical instruments into boiling olive oil. One may determine the tenn perature of the oil by very simple process of dropping bread crumbs into the oil When they turn brown and crisp, the oil is hot enough for the sur geon use. This is much more con- yenient than using the thermometer, which may not always be at hand The oil may be heated over a spirit lamp. and few spoonfuls will be sufficient for sterilizing the instruments used in some of the more simple operations Exchange

GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.
Not In Richmond, but In Charlotte
 Where He Lived.

Where He Lived.
 Every now and then we see in some newspaper the query, Where is Pat rick Henry buried?" and tourists in Richmond constantly ask to be shown his grave, with the mistaken idea that it is in that city, where much of his public career was passed. Few people comparatively know that the man who acquired the title of "The Tongue of the Revolution lies ill a quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte county where he formerly lived. Over it is marble slab inscribed with one line, His fame his best epitaph.'
 The estate lies on Staunton river, S8 miles from the town of Lynchburg, near the border line which separates Char 1otte and Campbell counties. It derived it's name of Red Hill from the peculiar color of the soil ill that vicinity. When Patrick Henry bought the place, it com prised about $500 acres. The land is rich-there was saying ill the neigh borhood that poor land and Henry could never be mentioned together-corn grows there as high as a man on horse back; there is general air of smiling fields and abundant prosperity. Its sit uation ill early times was very remote. Neighbors were few, one of the nearest being the celebrated John Randolph of Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soli- tude 5 miles away.
 Red Hill is now owned by Henry s grandson, William Wirt Henry, a clever, cultivated gentleman of the "old school" He has ill his possession some most interesting. relics of his cele- brated grandfather, including the desk he always used, which still contains his letters from Lafayette, Washington, Madison and other great men of early days; the large, round backed chair in which Patrick Henry died and portrait of him by the elder Sully, under which hangs yellowed slip of paper, signed by Chief Justice John Marshall and several others of his friends, testifying to the faithfulness of the likeness Philadelphia Press

Didn't Call Her Mary.

It is said that the native servants in Hawaii used to call their mistresses by their first names. An English woman of strong will determined on her arrival in Honolulu that her servants should never call her Mary and instructed them carefully in the presence of her husband. One day, when she had visit ors, her cook put his head in at the drawing room door and politely in- quired:
 "What vegetables for dinner today, my love?''
 He had heard her called that and seemed proud of remembering not to say Mary.-New York Tribune.
