The American Indian, be his tribe
what it may, has no great fondness for
water taken internally, and no use at
all for it as an external application.
One or two quarts of water will carry
a family through a day, and even in
the arid regions of New Mexico and
Arizona, where the atmosphere takes
up moisture from the body before it
reaches the surface of the skin, the
per capita of water used is small. Per-
haps the scarcity of that fluid has
something to do with the wonderful
economy in its use which prevails, for
it is almost never applied to the body,
with the single exception that no In
dian will lose an opportunity to wash
his long, glossy black hair. OF their
hair they are as proud as any woman,
and devote much time and attention
to its proper care, even sacrificing a
small quantity of the precious water
now and then for that purpose. Two
quarts, with the bruised roots of the
yucca, or soap weed, are all that is
necessary for this purpose. As might
be expected under these conditions
the tribes are periodically visited by
dreadful epidemics of smallpox, which
often decimate them.-New York Post.

Purely Personal Fire.

There was a smell of fire in the
house, the deep gray odor of burning
,loth. The man of the house began

He put his hand into his coatpocket
Tor a match. He found the fire by his
sense of touch and went upstairs and
poured a glass of water into his pocket.
Since then he carries his matches in a
box, and is disposed to be incredulous
when stories of incendiaries are mar
rated. He says confagration, like
charity, begins at home.-New York

In a recent number of a French
medical journal a DIR, Waetzold de-
clares hat he is of the opinion ''that
the chloroses and neuroses from which
so many young girls suffer may be
largely attributed to the abuse OF the
piano" The author of this learned
disquisition goes on to say it is neces-
sary, in his opinion, that the deadly
custom of compelling young girls to
hammer on the keyboard before they
are fifteen or sixteen years old should
be limited in the application. Even
then these exercises should be per-
mitted only to those who are not alone
talented, but possessed Of a robust
temperament.
DIR, Waetzold further shows that out
of 1000 girls studying the piano before
the age of twelve 600 were afflicted
with nervous troubles later in lie,
while only 100 were affected among
similar number who had never touched
this instrument. The study OF the
violin, DR.. Waetzold declares, pro
duces even more disastrous results
than those attributed to the piano.

PHILADELPHIA (Special). Since January
! this city has had an epidemic of typhoid
fever. Since that date there have been
nearly 6OO0 cases OF the disease and about
1000 deaths. The epidemic Is said to be due
to the polluted water Of the Sehuylkill
River, from which the city obtains its sup.
ply. The Councils have passed a
bill authorizing the appointment
of three expert engineers to inyes-
tigate and report as to the best
method of improving the quality OF the
water, and In accordance with the pro-
visions OF the measure, Mayor Ashbrldge
appointed Rudolph Herring, Of New York;
Samuel Gray, OF Providence, Il. l., and
Joseph NJ. Wilson, OF this city, to make the
expert investigation and report. They are
required to make u preliminary report in
not more than sixty days and a nnal re-
port In not more than three months. An
appropriation OF $25 900 was made to pay
tor their expenses and compensation.

SEATTLE, Wash. (speciaD.-The ascent of
Mount Morrison, the highest mountain Of
Formosa, has just been completed by stoe-
pei, the explorer of several Mexican and

advices from Toxic. The ascent was not
without danger, owing to the ~feverlsh

The climb itself was attended with sew
eral narrow escapes, and would be impos-
sible for any but the most experienced
climbers. The ascent was attempted from
several different directions before a prac-
teal route was found. Stoepel found the
natives very fierce. They were skull hun-
