FINDS A MUMMY IN ALASKA.
Discovery by Prof. Harlan III. Smith,
Representing the National Mu-
scum of New York

Harlan II, Smith, who represents the
National museum of New York, has
been on the coast for three months,
endeavoring to make collection of In
dian relics. He arrived at Vancouver,
B. c., the other afternoon from the
Harrison Bay district, where he made
the strangest find of ala well-pre-
served mummy, which he says may be
over 1000 years old
He came across a stone bearing a
hieroglyphic inscription, and it did not
take him long 20 ascertain that this was
the door of Theoretically sealed cave.
The cave had been cut out of rock.
The body which he found within was
preserved in just the same manner as
an Egyptian mummy. Prof. Smith said:
The preparation of the body was the
work OF experts. A slight lifting of the
woven wrappers caused the emanation
OF the penetrating smell that is always
noticeable when Egyptian wrappings
are first removed. The face and hands
were black and hard and dry"
The body was evidently that of a
chief. 1t will be forwarded to New

MANAGEMENT OF EPILEPSY.
strict Attention to Diet Is of the
Greatest Importance In This
Disease.

Physicians are coming to recognize
more and more clearly the fact that the
sole, or even the principal, treatment
of epilepsy does not consist in the use
of drugs, but rather in diet, exercise, oc-
cupation, and the like. Certain bro
mide salts are still prescribed, but they
are not used alone, and the hygienic
management of the case is regarded as
of at least equal Importance.
There is comfort in this for the rela-
tives of a sufferer from this most dis
tressed disorder, for they can feel that
the welfare of the afflicted one is not en-
tirelv in the doctors hands, but that
they, too, can contribute largely to his
comfort and the alienation, If not the
cure, of his malady.
In the first place, diet is of the great
est Importance. What is called auto
intoxication, that is to say, the poison
ing of the system by certain toxic sub
stances produced as result of faulty
digestion, is known to be one of the
most common causes of an attack of the
failing Sickness
A victim of this disease may often be
observed to eat gluttonously, swallow
ing his food in large quantities and al
most without mastication and soon
afterward he has a fit. Such patient
should diet carefully, the quantity OF
meat eaten being much restricted, and
all the food being of a simple kind.
Milk, when it agrees with the person,
g ox-oollant FOOD. 10
best avoided. The meals should be
taken always at the same hours, and a
hearty meal at night should be fore
gone. Laxatives are generally needed
from time to time.
The hours of sleep should be long,
and there should be no excitement or
hard study of any kind, especially in
the evening. The bedroom should be
airy and cool, and the bedclothing as
light as is compatible with the neces-
sary protection from cold. A cool
sponge bath every morning, followed
by brisk rub, is advisable, and warm
bath for cleansing purposes should be
taken once week.
If a child, the patient need not always

privileged as to hours, and if there are
two sessions, he should attend but one.
He should be kept back rather than
pushed in his studies.
Physical exercise in the open air is
often of real curative value, and should
never be neglected. The discipline
should be absolute, yet of the mildest
kind possible. OF all persons, the epi-
leptic should be ruled by love rather
than fear; measures resulting in vio-
lent, emotional scenes must be Stunned
at all hazards.
The ideal treatment of epilepsy is
that in colonies established in some
healthy locality, where patients live un-
der pleasant and absolutely hygienic
surroundings, subject to the constant
direction of experienced physicians

10000 acres under the blanket lease of
a few Indians who have jumped the
land, will be dispossessed of all except
the quantity the Indians are entitled
to under the allotment, which may be
ane-half or one-fourth, according to
the number in each family. For eX-
ample, one rich Indian in the Creek ma
tion has jumped about 5000 acres, and
as he has a family of only four per-
sons, he will lose nearly all of his land.
The United States attorneys have or
dered the marshals to cut down the
wire fences of these illegal holdings,
and this may preeipitate the trouble.
The Indian is now prohibited from To-
eating more than 160 acres for each
of his family, and this wholesale land
grabbing will doubtless be checked.
White men are behind the Indian
jumpers. The aim is to give to each
Indian a home where he must reside
permanently. Under the tribal laws
he moved to any unoccupied land when
he wished. 1t belonged to the nation;

In explanation 1t NAV be stated that

In explanation 1t may be stated that
the Indian Territory is composed of
five nations, inhabited by five civil
lied tribes"-The Choctaws, Chicka-
saws, Cherokees, s5eminoles and Creeks.
Each nation has .is tribal government
and chiefs.
The United States laws are now sup
planting the tribal laws and courts, but
the nations retaiI. their chiefs and legis-
lative councils. All criminal and civil
cases, originating within the past few
months, will be tried in the United
States courts, aud Indian juries and
courts are virtually out of existence.
Heretofore, capital punishment was in
ficted by shooting, and the condemned
was permitted to go home, settle his
business and bid his family good-by,
and he returned promptly on the day
of execution to be shot. Not a failure
is reported in the history of the terri
tory, and the executions were many.
This paroling OF the condemned will
now be stopped, under our civilized
law. 1t will be remembered that Won
ga Tonga, who was recently shot, was
a member of a baseball club, and
starred through the country while un-
der sentence of death. His was the
last execution to take place under In
dian law in this te rritory. When shown
the writ of habe.Ls corpus issued by a
United States court, the Indian sheriff
grunted, saying that the Indian judge
was right, and proceeded with the exc
cutiOn. This is an explanation of their
system and the recent changes. In
some of the nations all American court
will be held for the first time next No
vember.
In this (Creel<) nation there are three
tickets in the fed for chiefs, the elec-
ton to be held in November. Chief
Isparhecher is a candidate for reelec-
ton; Rolly Mcintosh, grandson of the

Especial ChetOcah q. IT, letter.

The troubles over the allotment of
lands to Indians seems to be increas-
ing. The full-blooded Indians do not
wish the land divided. but prefer that
the title remain in the tribes. The
recent law allots to each member
Of a family 16O acres. As many of
the Indians have large families, they
will get good-sized farms. On an aver
age, the Indian cultivates only 40 or
so acres. Under the tribal laws he can
locate as much as he wishes. Then he
leases it to white men. a few jumpers
fence a tract of several thousand acres
and lease it TO white man for a cat
tie ranch. The Indians live in idleness
on the revenues. They naturally op-
pose the allotment, and so do the Amer
lean holders of leases to these large
tracts. Another element, the full
blooded Indians, are also in opposition,
because they read their fate in thus
placing the lands within the reach of
the pale face The law also provides
that the present leases shall be reduced
to 160 acres per capita, under penalty
of not less than 500 day. Strangely,
the law makes no provision for sur
vey, and if the work is done by the
lessees they will make liberal allow
ances for themselves. There will be
many prosecutions, instigated in many
instances by those who want the land,
and this may lead to the usual war and
vendetta. The lessees Will send dele
cation to congress this winter in their
own interests, and the full-bioods, who
are opposed to the allotment, will also
send delegation to have big talk
with the white chiefs who make the

AS these lands are perhaps the most
valuable, they will be much sought
after when the allotment is made. A
