How to "LoOk Indian

When you drop q small object

you're sure to find it. Here is the
modus operandi. Somebody drop.
ped stickpin in the hall the other
day, and had hard work to find it.
She hunted high and low. and on
her hands and knees, and with a
candle specially procured for the
purpose, but it was no use; the
pin was very tiny and unperceivable,
its value being that of association
rather than size or brilliancy. The
somebody, after a final shake of
the rugs, was just about to give it
up forever, when one of the children
CHANGED to come along. "Why
don't you look Indian for it?" be
asked. Before the somebody real
lied whatwas meant. down dropped
the youngster on the floor, his head
and bis whole body lying sidewise
and just as close to the dead level
as possible. In this position his
eyes roved rapidly over the floor.
II have it," he shouted presently,
and sure enough, rightin the middle
of the floor, in so plain a place that
it had escaped notice, vas the miss
ing stickpin. The youngster then
explained that "looking Indian"
meant putting the head to the
ground in order to catch sight of
the smallest object between ones
self and the horizon. "They dc. it
on the plains all the time," be said.
"That's why they can always tell
who's coming. But it works ir
houses just as we'll as on the plains.
Why, We never lose anything in

GOLD FIELDS OF n1x1oo.
Two Men Said to Have Planned Out
$3.50, 900 in Three Montha

(From the st. Louis Republic
According to e. Sardenato, Mex
lean Consul to St. Louis, there is .
moderate, but steady rush of pros
pectors to the Yaqui gold fields
recently thrown open to settlement
by the Mexican Government. He
says that parties DESTROYS of engag-
ing in placer mining come to him
daily in search of information about
the country, its resources and route
of travel to reach the place. Re-
Gently two Americans called upon
him and made the statement that
they had been in the Yaqui country
but three months and had cleaned
up 100000 between them. They
were seeking machinery with which
to further develop their properties.
"The Yaqui country is practically
undeveloped," said Mr.. Sardenato
to Republic reporter. Before it
was opened to settlement the In
dams used to dig small quantities of
gold from the placer mines. AS far
as known, 1.-The gold is all in placer
deposits. There is no record Of any
quartz claims in the territory, but of
course it is practically UNEMPLOYED
by the white men, because the In
dams would not let them into their
lands until the treaty was signed.
"The gold fields, from all that l
can learn, are rich and it is certainly
better to go there, where the climate
is wholesome and vegetation luxuri-
ant, than to seek the precious metal
in Alaska, where failure comes often
and privations are numerous. There
is plenty Of game to supply the
traveller with meat from one year to
the other if he has time to hunt it.
Turkeys, deer and bear abound,
while small streams affording water
for mining purposes are numerous.
"My information concerning the
country is, so far, unofficial and is
cleaned from men who have been
there and from parties who have
heard from their friends there. It
seems that the deposits are of such
nature that capital is required to
work them at good profit, so that
man with merely pick and shovel
would stand little show. -
"The Government guarantees pro-
lection to miners in their discov-
cries. Of course, there is the usual
tax for filing title, and so on. Three
months are given in which to ascer-
tain the value Of the claim of two
and one-half acres. The taxes per
claim a year amount to $1O."

How to Check : bleeding Wound.


It frequently happens. that an ac-
cident takes place when medical
help can not be summoned imme-
diately, and if one knows what to
do a life might be saved, or ut least
the loss of much blood.
One may tell by the way the blood
flows, whether or not an artery has
been severed. If there is steady
flow only vein has been cut; II
the blood comes in spurts with the
beating Of the heart, then a more
serious case is ut hand, an artery
has been severed. In q case of this
kind prompt treatment should be
used.
If the wound is on an arm or leg,
the suppressing of the flow of blood
is not so difficult, as q tight band
age may easily DO placed here; put
the bandage or cloth, handkerchief,
or whatever you may have at hand
between the wound and the heart ;
that is, if the wound is not below
the knee, tie the bandage tight above
the wound toward the knee, then in
sert a stick between the wound and
the bandage and twist the bandage
tight until noticeable check of the
flowing blood has been produced.
If the wound happens to be in a
place where such a device may not
be resorted to, then press about the
wound the fingers, until you touch
place which seems to check the
flow of blood, then keep up this
pressure until help can be secured
and the severed artery tied.
For superficial wounds that bleed
in more places than one, or in one
place steadily, lint and cold water
will be found helpful; if the wound
is bruised and lacerated, then drip
ice water into it and apply lint. We
once stopped the bleeding of a seri.
Gus wound with nothing but COM
mon -four; this was applied stead
lily for a good while; at first the
bleeding was so rapid that it soaked
the -four up faster than we could
apply it, but a persistent application
of the same was finally successful,
and as it was the only thing at hand
and seven miles from a doctor, it
was worth-well, I'll not say how
much.
Presence of mind is the next best
thing to absence of body in time OF
any emergency, and it is not we'll to
allow ones self to faint at the sight
of blood or to be appalled, at the
sight of pale face. Act at once, and
perhaps you may save life, quite
as truly as though you rescued a
drowning man from a watery grave,
or stopped runaway horse.-Wis-
consin Agriculturist.
