Wood Pulp for PouItioe..

Wood pulp has been put to a variety
OF uses in recent years, but to mono
more interesting than poultices and
surgical dressings. When macerated
in water 1t swells and absorbs from
four to five times its weight OF liquid,
retaining 1t for long time. AS the
pulp becomes soft a poultice of any
desired consistency can be made by
varying the quantity OF the water. BY
using hot water the resulting poultice
will retain its heat and moisture much
longer than a similar poultice made
of bread or flaxseed. Antiseptic. drugs
soluble in water may be dissolved in
the water In which the pulp is to be
soaked, as the pulp itself is unaffected
by most drugs. When dry the pulp
will absorb both oils and fats. This ia
particularly valuable, as 1t can be used
as an emoilient and antiseptic substi-
tute for salves, etc., on lint as q surg
ical dressing. Wood pulp can be
nodded when moist, so that It can be
used as splint, owing to the fact
that 1t dries very hard. When kept
slightly wet with an antiseptic solu-
ton the pulp remains soft and can be
used as an absorbent dressing. Crude
wood pulp can be sterilized by heat
ing Ia an ordinary sterilizer.-Chicago

Do you see that energetic dancer

And yet a few years ago that young
man was taken into one of the kivas in
the dead of the night, bound hand and
foot and gagged, and whipped with a
cruel rawhide scourge until his LAGER
nted back flowed blood, because he had
ridiculed and scoffed at this religious
service OF his people. he had been to
one OF the United States governments
Indian schools, where he was taught
to look above the superstitious ideas of
his people, and when he returned home.
his education complete, he dared to
give expression to his radical ideas;
this was the method taken to convince
him that Conservatism was the best
policy" lie evidently learned the last
lesson well, for, when telling me the
story, he said: Watch me tomorrow.
and you will see that / dance more
vigorously than any other Acoma In
dian" And SO he did, but the religious
influence OF 1t was somewhat lost by
the fact that each time i passed him
and he thought he was unobserved by
his people, he turned and gravely
'winked" at me.
Just as sun is about to set all the Wis
ting Indians are called together and
the chief shaman or medicine msn
throws one after another among them
the gifts that have been placed on the
shrine during the day. There is a great
scramble for these gifts, for not only
are they deemed of value, but the
prayers and Thanksgiving of the donors
to the Great Sun are supposed to ac-
company the gifts, and thus bring
dressings and good luck to the recip-
tents. G. WHARTON JAMES.

on the cheek in a motherly way and
exclaimed: "Bless the little lamb

''Why, Lottie," said her mother, in

that?"

ship. have seen the dance and its at
tendant ceremonies several times, and
each time the "joinings" of the two
kinds of worship become more appar-
ent. The old priests, when Acoma was
subjugated to Spanish rule $50 years
ago, were wise. Instead OF totally pro-
hibiting the religious ceremonials Of
the people, they gave new and Chris-
tian interpretations TO them, hence, to-
day, we see an orthodox Catholic priest
engaging in the rites of holy mass, and
then marching in a procession to the
plaza where the whole afternoon is
spent In a dance performed in honor OF
the sun.
During these professions the visiting
Mexicans often unite with the Indians,
though, regarding themselves as SUI
perior to the natives, they head the pro-
cession, and slightly to one side, and thus
preserve their dignity unimpaired. One
OF their number, on one occasion, was
induced to add charm TO the perform
