OSAGE SMOKE DANCE.
An Annual JolIificatiOn Among the
Indians Which Always
Lasts Week.

The annual smoke dance of the Usage
Indians took place at Pawhuska, o. T.,
the last of June, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The smoke dance is
always a gala event among the Indians
of the territory.
The dance was held in a secluded
place on the bank of creek. At night
the place is lighted with pine knots,
and a circle of dark faces around the
half-naked dancers presents wierd
picture. Two hundred white persons
visited the dance, although usually
"palefaces" are not allowed to witness
the ceremony. The neighboring tribes
are always invited to take part, and
generally the different tribes are as
signed certain days on which to send
delegations.
Usually the visitors bring ponies and
other presents to the Osages, but some
times the visitors are the recipients of
gifts. The Delawares were presented
with 80 ponies and 500 yards of calico
by the Osages. One night several of
the Indians, who were evidently tired
out, were whipped by the chiefs order
because they did not display enough
energy in the dance. Four of the drum
mers and five of the dancers were grad
yates of Indian schools.

PICTURED HORSES.
Artists Conceptions of the Noble
steed of the Present Are Not
Always Natural.

The artists horse of to-day is an alto
gether different creature from the
artists horse of a century ago. In years
gone by his neck was arched, his rump
well rounded and his whole bearing
pompous and melodramatic. Ere
quently in the good old days he raised
one foreleg like a setter dog or reared
on both hind legs after the fashion of a
grizzly bear. But things have changed
now, and the pictorial, or marble, steed
has altered his quondam poses for
brisker and more businesslike atti-
tudes. While the modern metamorpho-
sis may lack the heroic features
which formerly characterized our
good old friend. we believe the artistic
horse of the present day is much more
accurate. They say the change is due
almost entirely TO the revelations of
the instantaneous camera. This infal-
lible portrait maker has caught the
steed in action and shown us exactly
how he looks. 1t has always shown us
tlat when he runs he doubles up like
a iackknife and throws grace TO the
winds. II has likewise demonstrated
the fact that old-time artists had err
roneous ideas as TO how the brute han
died his feet and used his legs. Indeed,
photography has shown us so many
things about moving horses that strict
accuracy in their portraiture is almost
ridiculous.

SKATING SOLDIERS.
New BFanSh Gf Military Service In
Norway Has Been Recently
Organized.

A letter recently received by prom
inent orwegian-American resident in
Chicago from his old home says that
the Norwegian army has lately organ
lied "a highly-trained corps of skaters.
The men are armed with repeating
rifles. They wear IA specially-construct-
ed skate evolved after numerous expert
ments with various types. The heel is
so shaped as TO enable the men to turn
with great rapidity. AS a matter of
fact, they perform the right about"
in much quicker time than infantry.
spinning round as though on a pivot
at the word of command.
The corps, says the Chicago Chron-
icle, can be manuevered with rapidity
equal 10 that of the best-trained cav
airy, and at a recent review-on one of
the fjords-their evolutions astonished
the military representatives of other
nations who were invited 10 witness
the display.
For patrol and scout duty they are
expected TO be of the greatest use, as
the ice season in Norway is of consid-
erable duration.
The men are the pick of a skating ma
ton, and they are commanded by an
eX-champion. They are capable of trav-
cling so miles a day on the ice, fully
equipped.

medicine that will help you no matter
what ails you. This is true because 1t
works directly at the roots of all disease
the digestive system, the blood, the
nerves. Keep these in healthy condi-
ton and you cannot be sick.
Many of the cures of the Golden
n dical Discovery seem almost mirac-
ulous. It's effect is almost immediate.
1t takes hold at once. 1t tones up the
stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates
the bowels

1t is a safe medicine Safe for adults
safe for children. 1t contains no sugar,
syrup whisky alcohol or dangerous OPT

and to prove that Great Britain's fu-

Oakland man who put him down and

prince and myself met in battle. and
when the smoke of the engagement

the young prince was walking by on

TO STOP BLEEDING.
Another Scientific Discovery which
Will lie OF Value To the HUI
man Race.

One of the most difficult of surgical
problems has always been the devising
of means to stop excessive bleeding
Of patients during operations. The
electric current has been used for sew
eral years, with u view to bringing
about that condition of heat which is
necessary in order TO cause the blood
10 clot and SO act as "A block TO the
mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting
hemorrhage.
This. indeed, has resulted i'm the utili-
zation of the electric cautery, as II is
called, in certain operations, the plati-
mum wire at red or almost white heat
even supplanting the knife, because it
burns through the tissues and at the
same time prevents the wound bleed
ing to any great extent. This effect of
heat was, indeed, known to our ances-
tors, who used red-hot irons or boiling
pitch TO scar the surface of the flesh
after their operations, thus causing an
immense amount of suffering to the
patient, before the days of chloro-
form.
n new uuaptdtion ol tnis use oi eiec-
tricity for the purpose of stopping
bleeding has been devised by inclosing
a platinum wire in a pair of forceps or
other instrument, the wire being in
sulated in a bed of burnt pipe clay,
and as soon as the bleeding vessel Is
seized by the forceps and compressed
in the ordinary way an electric current
is turned on, whose effect is so great
that the tissues and the walls of the
blood vessels are all agglutinated, so
that the blood is no longer able to pass.

A BUsINEssLIKE WOMAN.
One Who Easily Proved Her Sex
Capable Of = Practical Turn
OF Mind.

DIR. Nathan Wood told good story
of woman's capability for business at
the annual meeting of the Woman's
Suffrage Association of New England.
He said:
II happen TO be a trustee of Nassar
college. At first / shared with all my
fellows the old-time feeling about its
not being quite possible for women TO
be dignified and intelligent in business
matters of a corporation charged with
the management of great institution.
/ well remember when the alumna of
Vassar finally persuaded the trustees
to let them nominate three women 10
be fellow trustees with us. There were
27 of us on that board of trustees, and
all of them except the present speaker
were very distinguished gentlemen.
''We had before us grave problem, as
the city Of Poughkeepsie had de-
termined that we must do something
about the sewerage of the college. We
had spent money and money and money
in endeavoring 10 remedy its defects,
but the city still followed us up and
threatened us with suits. The mat
ter was brought up in the board of trus-
tees, and we were at our wits end,
when a woman got up in the board, and
in "A very simple and modest fashion,
she said: "Gentlemen, l think if you
would follow this plan you would sue
ceed.' And she went on and outlined a
plan in detail, giving us specifications,
probable cost, probable amount of
time, just what would need to be done,
all in the most methodical and business
like and clear fashion that you can inn
agine. We all gasped. We saw at once
that she knew what she was doing and
that she was talking from actual knowl-
edge of the facts, and we adopted her
plan. That woman was Mrs. Ellen IL.
Richards, of the Massachusetts insti-
tute of technology"

PLANTS HAVE TAKEN A REST
Many That Disappeared Genera
tions Ago Have Come to
View Again.

1t has been noted by close observers
that some 25 years ago, when the SEQ
riae Cor slag) produced by the ancient
Greeks in working the silver mines of
Lawimur, near Athens, was removed in
order to be reworked by more efficient
modern appliances the seeds of kind
Of poppy of the genus glancinon, which
had lain underneath the Stag in a dor
mant condition for at least 800 years,
sprang up again all over the uncovered
ground. Unknown in modern times,
this plant was described in the first
century of our era by Dioscorides and
Pliny and had disappeared from the
face of the globe for Is or 20 centuries.
The fact that these seeds should have
retained their vitality SO long seems
very extraordinary, but there are other
instances quite as remarkable. For in
stance, raspberry seeds found in 1888
in an ancient tumulus, in a coffin buried
30 feet below the surface and believed
TO have been there since the second
century, were successfully planted.
And in another case seeds of the poly
gonum convolvulus dug up from the
bottom of sand pit, where they were
believed to have been buried for 1000
years, were still vigorous and produced
healthy plants
