THE BAD INDIAN {
 IF THIS DAY What the White Man Has Done for the Various Tribes and
 What He is Doing

Although the average citizen gives but little thought to the Indian, he Is prob lem of considerable importance in Wash ington, where a bureau is maintained that he may be properly cared for and where much is being done every year to better his condition. Of course, 1t Is the gener- al opinion that the Indian, like the tsEffalo is becoming extinct, and this, to certain extent at least, is true. The coming of the white man, with his comforts and his vices, has done much to decimate the In- Aian. but, in spite of all this, there are still 267, ,O0O of them for whom the United States Government Is responsible, and about 1s5,OOO more in other parts of the American continent.
 Many classifcations of the Indian races have been made since the white man first made his acquaintance, but it is general ly agreed that the most satisfactory is that made by Major Powell in 1891. In this list the eight hundred or more tribes have been classified linguisucally into ff-
The age-herald., 1900-12-09

177 reservations, varying in size from 27e to 100000 acres, and aggregating ss,7S4,- 349 acres.
 Large as these figures may seem, to the Indian, with his traditions of the boundless prairies, the largest of these reservations seem narrow and confined Naturally the Indian is industrious, but this is a trait that Is not evinced to any great extent at the present time, owing probably to the fact that he has learned that his labors are more apt to bear no fruit for if he is not deliberately cheated by the whites or does not have his stock stolen by them he has so often been compelled to till poor soil that he has come to look upon agri- culture as a useless pursuit.
 As the result the Indians who are left to themselves are rapidly degenerating in- to an absolutely worthless creature. When compelled to fight C 9inst the white mans food and tbe white mans whiskey the con- test for the Indian is losing one. In many instances, however, teachers and philan- thropists have interested themselves in certain tribes, and in each of these cases the result has been generally excellent.
 With a little education and with profita- ble fields of usefulness opened to them the indian has ceased, to a great extent, at least, to be the savage and has been ready and &ger to work. In such cases they readily appreciated the fact that it was useless for them to think of resisting the white man, and necessary that they should conform to his tenet. As the result they have become sober, honest and industrious citizens

------------ Lord Kelvin's Faith in Fiuures.
Philad adelphia Post

from the Pnlladelph1a Post.
 Lord Kelvin, otherwise Prof William Thompson, is a world-famous scientist with fellowships and memberships galore in the learned societies of the civilized na- tions of the world. He is but little less than 80 years of age, but still retains the position that he has held for two score years, of professor of natural philosophy In the University of Glasgow the institu- tion where he himself was educated. As q professor he has some peculiarities, and one of them is the habit of saying, when doubting question is put to him to the absolute certainty of some proposition:
 Didn't figure that out myself?'
 The question is not put irritably or ego tistically, as a rule it is merely the natural remark of a man who has been acknowl- edged leader of worldwide fame for so many years,
 One day, when featuring on electricity he told his class that, while a voltage of 5000 or so would be fatal to a man, a volt age of, say, some 300,000 would be perfectly harmless.
 With a current of far more than ordinary voltage he was going to give them a prac- tcal illustration of the fact on himself, right there before them. The students could hardly believe their ears, but as he stepped toward the electrical transformer a cry of dissent and horror went up
 Try 1t on dog! Try it on an animal!" came from all parts of the lecture-room.
 Lord Kelvin turned in stiff dignity and cast look of reproach over the class These were his own pupils who were doubt ing limit was in his beloved University of Glasgow. To doubt on some minor point would not have hurt him, but to think that they could question the reliability of his carefully prepared figures on a matter of such moment was really painful For few moments he looked at them in silence
 I length, and then there was only silence as he continued on his way to the apparatus and safely turned the tremendous voltage into himself.

Cornelius VanderbiIt's Newport Plans

Newport, R. l., Dispatch to N. N. Journal.
 Cornelius Vanderbilt has leased Beaulieu, the Newport residence of William Waldorf Astor, for three years.
 Beaulieu is one of the best-known houses in Newport, and has been the scene of many brilliant affairs including the we'd ding of Prince Cantacuzene and Miss Julia Dent Grant, during the lease of Mrs. Pot ter Palmer, and also when the Calvin s. Brices occupied the place.
 Immediately following the announcement of the lease of Beauleu by MT. Vanderbilt comes the news that he is negotiating with the Newport hospital corporation for the purchase of about forty acres of the so- called Hazard farm, upon which now is To- cated some of the handsomest summer houses in Newport.
 The purchase includes Lily Pond, one of the picture spots in Newport. It is seldom that such a beautiful sheet of water Is found so near the sea, the latter being less than 100 yards distant
 The banks of Lily Pond rise into cliffs which seem borrowed in miniature from the coast, a few rods away. Apart from its natural beauty, it has the advantage of being well stocked with game fish, point which is fully appreciated by the enthusi- astic fisherman.
 On the highest of the eminences which skirt the lake MT Vanderbilt proposes to build the most palatial summer residence in this country, plans for which have been already drawn.
 The site of MT. Vanderbilt's selecttss is near the residences of O. H. P. Belmont, Mrs. George B. De Forest, Henry Clews, w. Starr Miller, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, George Henry Warren and Benjamin F. Thaw, and is within few minutes drive of Baileys and Hazards beaches.

MUSCLE AND No1 FAT.
What Thin People Need to Round Off
 the Corners.

What thin folks need is flesh or muscle, not fat.
 To be symmetrical and properly propor- tioned every person should have a certain amount of excess flesh, but to be plump does not necessarily mean to be fat.
 Fat is undesirable; it clogs and retards the action of the muscles, interferes with the healthy action of the heart and lungs and when very excessive, predisposes too fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say nothing of the discomfort resulting from too much adipose tissue.
 Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become feshy and plump the thing most needed would be flesh forming food that is, albuminous foods like eggs, beef oatmeal, etc.
 The kinds of foods which make flesh are the foods we have on our tables every day; but the trouble is that our stomachs, from weakness or derangement of some kind do not promptly and properly digest it.
 Really, the principal reason so many peo- pie remain thin Is because their stomachs do not properly and completely digest and assimilate the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
 There are thousands of such people, and they are really dyspeptics, although they may not suffer any particular pain or in- convenience from their stomachs.
 If such persons and all thin people, would take after their meals some simple and nat ural digestive, like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab let's, the food would be quickly digested and the proper degree of plumpness very soon would result, because these tablets are prepared exactly for that purpose. They digest every variety of flesh forming food, which is the real reason why they so quickly build up and strengthen thin, dys- peptic men and women.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every form of indigestion on this common sense plan that they thoroughly digest the food promptly, giving strength to every nerve N1 1.D1xv aud f1,fr rIrrr.

ty-nine families some being entirely ex- tince and others nearly so. In describing these various families George Bird Grin nell, one of the most eminent students of Indian affairs in the country, says that about two-thirds of the tribes now in ex- istenee are confined to the Pacific slope, many of them being so little known that the public in general would even be un- able to recognize their names.
 Of thes families the most important is the Algonquins, with whom the Pilgrim Fathers fought on landing, and of whom there are still about 100000 in existence, most of them living in Canada, record in hardness that Is scarcely eQualled in the history of the Indian nations. Anoth- CT important family is the Athabascans, to which the Navatoes and the Apaches belong. Of all the tribes none were more brave and capable than the members of this family, which is now so rapidly de- creasing.

 Among other important families were the now almost extinct cannibal Attacapans of the Gulf coast; the wholly extinct -Beo- thuks, who were driven out of Newfound-

To Look "peaaae" Latest Fad.

From the Boston Herald.
 There are paralyzing echoes from Mad ison- Square Garden, simply terrifying to the $12-a-week young man who has bought his frock coat for keeps. For this frock coat the renowned Prince Albert is as dead as herring for any wear save at "func- tion." Furthermore, glove-fasteners are out and "biled' shirts with them. The glove must have one large pearl button sewed on; the shirt must be soft as the temperance drink, and all waistcoats doub- le-breasted. Not all the follies ana absur- dities of dress are of the feminine gender The lords of creation, the society men, " have little fads of their=own, and the lead ing fad of the hour with them is to look "degage;" in other words their outer gar ments must hang upon them in well-cut loose folds.

one can be surprised that It has at last come. The dragons teeth of war and massacre were sown long ago by the for eigners who went to China in the spirit of commercial greed, to push their conquests. Germany lost two missionaries and made it pretext to annex to her own empire great sections of China England for years has forced the detested opium plague upon an unwilling nation at the point of the bayonet. France and Belgium had ob- ta4ned great Tailway concessions and had ruthlessy skslt the Iron horse crashing through the cemeteries, and, consequently, through the most sacred associat tons of the Chinese. Russia, most menacing of all was sweeping down from the north. She had already practically annexed Manchu- ria. She was threatening Pekin.
