Monotonous to Spectators.

The whole assemblage Of redskins takes
up this YELL and continues 1t over and over,
keeping time with their clapping hands and
swaying bodies. The dealers, who are mean

also keep time by their movements with
their wooden chips. A dealer seizes dou-
BILE handful Of shavings and then ostenta-
tiously counts out eight wooden chips and
one black one, nine in all. Then he clicks
them several times and quickly covers them
with sflavings. Then he separates the chips
and shavings and shows two piles OF white
chips.
In a twinkl;ng he makes passes with his
hands, holding the two piles Of chips above
his head under his blouse and about his
body so fast that a three-card-monte sharp
would wonder at his dexterity. The chant

all manner of rapid passes to deceive the
eyes of the bettors at the opposite tribe.

Of Santa Maria Maggiore. This is an old

which has the faculty of saving the eternal
city when in great danger. 1t was brought
from Jerusalem to Rome by Paul v, the
great Borghese pope. whose name is so con-
spicuous on the facade of St. Peters. The
miracles attributed to this famous relic,
usually accomplished in its passage through
the streets, are much too numerous to men

in Rome was in SOB. during the terrible pes

disappeared like magic. Its last appearance
was during the cholera In 1897. when II was
followed in its long course about the city
by Gregory XVI. then pope. Leo XIII also
participated. as a young priest, as he Was

The SKIN and the Lungs.
From Aipslee'e Magazine.


That the skin is intimately connected
with the lungs is proved by the fact that
our minor Ills of the respiratory tract
colds. for instance-are almost always
traceable to a checking Of the perspira-
ton, SO that the impurities Of the blood
poison us. Everybody knows the story
about the little boy that was covered with
goldleaf as a cherub for some Roman
pomp, and how he died in agony a few
hours afterward. The poisons manufac-
tured by his own organisms slew him. to
say nothing Of his suffocation. Burns in
volving more than one-third of the general
surface are fatal. because the excretory
powers of the skin are lessened beyond the
abilities of the other depuratory organs to
make up for. Varnish an animal and 1t
will die in from six to twelve hours. say
some authorities. This incontrovertible
fact Is matched by another equally incon-
trovertible, that nobody ever heard of any
case Of MISUNDERSTANDING that killed
the victim. He might have had all kinds
of trouble in getting the stun off, and he
might have felt certain shock to his
pride, but he didn't die that anybody ever
heard Of. never assisted at a ceremony
of this kind at either end of the joke, and
so l cannot speak as to the completeness
with which the body Is covered with the
character Of the people Of the west and
southwest, where such sports are freely
INDUCED in. I should say that 1t would
most likely be a thorough and compre-
hensive fermentation. 1t may be that the
man breathes through the quilts Of the
feathers stuck on. but doubt 1t. I should
think tar would seal up the pores Of skin
quite as enectually as varnish. and 1t is a
paint warranted to wear in all weathers
and not to crack or scale of. I went
swimming once with lot Of boys when |
was young. and there was a tar kettle
right by the swimming hole. Well, sir, il
was three weeks before-but perhaps ne

Rolled Between Two Boats in Time to

From the San Francisco Call.
Captain Burch of the British ship Cawdor.
which arrived late Sunday night from New

AS the ships neared one another their po-

EnEliGh the Greatest Tea Drinkers.
From the london Chronicle.
And whittier go the millions of pounds of
tea which are grown in the gardens Of the
east? The answer is rather surprising
Most people would say that Russia is the
greatest tea-drinking nation of the world
and regard the samovar as the palladium.
But 1t is Great Britain which Is supreme at
the tea table. Even sixteen years ago we
consumed on an average five pounds of tea
apiece every year. Now we dispose Of
nearly six pounds No other country ap-
proaches us in this respect. for there is no
European country but Holland in which
more than one pound per head is con-
sumed. After this 1t Is not surprising to
learn that the colonies surpass their mother
country, and that Australasia drinks more
than seven and half pounds per head of
its population. To put the case In nut
shell, the united Kingdom drinks more tea
than all the other European countries and
the United States put together.

UNDERWRITERS
The Needle Cure.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
Sir James Grant, an English physician.
attributes some forms of muscular rheu-
matism to the presence of electricity stored
In the tissues. He AYERS that for some
years he has treated cases of this kind by
inserting fine steel needles into the muscles
and that the electricity being drawn Off
telief comes almost instantly The Chi
,nese have an elaborate system of treat
ment known as acupuncture, which util-
lies this idea Only they use the needles
Tor any and everything. Contrary to the
natural supposition, the treatment does not
produce much pain. the sensation being
mostly confined to pricking feeling when
the skin Is punctured. 1t is asserted that
the Chinese will drive their hair-like nee
dies into almost any part of the body with
out injury. and that the lungs and even the
heart can be probed in this way.
