COACHING THE PLAYERS.
AS the game progresses the hackers
OF the players, who are all intensely, al
most 1nsanely. interested in the outcome
since having staked their worldly wealth
upon 1t, encourage them and assist them
In every way possible. The squaWs are
as interested as their lords. They ar
range themselves in line on either side
of the players, and occasionally break
into monotonous chants or indulge in the
peculiar movements that pass for dan
cling among the American aborigines.
All night long this is kept up without
1ntermission, the Indians apparently be-
ing incapable of fatigue.
To the spectator the game IS most mo-
notonous, but never so to those who have
so deep an interest in the outsome of
the play. In former days, when tribes
came together to the number of hundreds
and even thousands on each side, when
such forms of wealth as have been IN
troduced by whites were unknown to
them and they had only their native ar
t1Cles to wager, when they were dressed
in their native costumes, the scene must
have been far more wild and pictur-
esque. Now the men wear wooden shirts
and oVeralls and the women are arrayed
in slovenly calico dresses, with shawls
over their shoulders and colored hand
kerchiefs on their heads.

Medical Notes.

Like the rheumatism the govt is a
disease that is inherited, but the mani
festation Of it is due to some indiscretion
on the part of the heir to this unwelcome
inheritance. 1t is constitutional disease
characterized by the presence of uric acil
In the blood, and the deposit of so called
calcareous deposits in the joints, espe-
cially noticeable in the fingers.
1t occurs more often in men than in
women, and is excited by overeating, es-
pecially of meat and high foods, and ale
and wine drinking, these being, as 1t
were, poisons of themselves, and also
causing dyspepsia, which is a cause m
itself. Many cases are due to slow,
chronic lead poisoning, and those having
the equity disposition always suffer more
in the winter season than at other times.
When person is predisposed to gout It
may manifest itself in early life, but
when 1t is acquired it does not appear un-
til after the fortieth year.
Gout usually occurs In pIethoric per-
sons, often those leading sedentary life
high ivers, great meat eaters, consumers
Of large quantities of malt or alcoholic
liquors, and consequently confirmed
dyspeptics. Owing to the unwise, over
supply of heterogeneous material, such as
meat, there is an excess of waste ma
terlal which cannot or IS not eliminated
from the system. AS q consequence uric
acid, which should be discharged from
the blood by the action of the kidneys,
which converts 1t into urates, collects in
the blood. and is thence deposited in the
joints as urate of sodium. These de-
posits, by their irritating properties,
cause inflammation in the joints, pain,
redness, heat and swelling. and eventual
ly lead to deformity and restricted move
ment in the joints. These deposits select,
by preference, the toes, but they also
occur in the finger joints, the knee and
even in the eyelids and the cartilage Of
the ears. The kidneys themselves become
fncrusted with the calcareous deposits
and hence the serious danger from govt
lies in the possibility Of kidney disease,
which shortens life materially; and SO,
while govt is not of itself fatal, it leads
to fatal consequences eventually. Heart
disease, too, often occurs, and the ar
teries may become involved, leading to a
fatal termination in time.
An attack of acute govt is usually pre-
ceded by certain symptoms such as
headache, constipation, high-co!ored and
scanty urine, etc. The attack itself
usually begins suddenly during the night,
between midnight and a. m. The pain
begins in the ball of the great toe, which
becomes swollen, red, hot and angry

The quickest relief, for a
cold, is also the most effectual
balm for the worst condition

1t takes the edge off a cold

An old bronchitis, however,
is obstinate. Nothing re

To revert to the number work. real
1Ze that any series from l to l, 200 when
paced IN threes, reversed and substract-
ed, comes in certain combinations and
may be memorized, so that if given the
f1rst number the rest of the series fol-

chances to one against him? Another fact
IS that when this combination is increas-
ed to four figures the chances against
times, While in five figures, which the
medium read perfectly many times from
various people, the guess proposition is
reduced to the millionth place.
If the medium had stopped with the
three numbers the mystery might have
been explained on the ground of excep-
t1onal guessing of the first number; but
with five figures the guessing theory is
entirely eliminated. I can seevno other
explanation of the phenomena than that
OF perfectly legitimate telepathy.

UIs your mamma cross? Mine Is awful cross! Does your mamma say Hush when you laugh or make a little bit of a noise? My mamma does- She has nerves, papa says"
 The mother who overheard this ac- count of herself would feel heart-hroken to think of the shadow cast by her misery on those she loved. Yet her condition Is real. Her nerves are strained to the point of torture. Lack of appetite and loss of sleep increase her weakness.
 Such a condition may, in general be traced to disease of the delicate womanly organism, cure for which is found in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. It establishes regularity, heals inflammation and alteration and cures female weakness. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and inc duces refreshing sleep.

MRS. FREMONT
Is Spending Her Last Years in Cali
 foInia.


 Chicago Chronicle.
 In the decline of her life. Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont. widow of the famous "pathfinder," and first candidate of the Republican party for President of the United States, is living quietly in a pleasant home in the envirans of Los Angeles, Cal. The home was a gift from the women of California, a token of their tender regard and they are happy in knowing the wife of "the pathfinder" and the daughter of "old bullion" is in their midst, loving and beloved. 5.. 1
 The Fremont cottage is one of the points of interest in Los Angeles. The grounds are full of tropical verdure. while the blossoming of the rarest roses and brilliant effect of Towering, climbing vines add greatly to their beauty. The home is filled with hand some old furniture and collections of travel. as well as many portraits ana xnementos of Gen. John C. Fremont.
 Jessie Benton married for love while very young. and from the time of her rnarriage until the death of General Fremont she shared with him most happily every trial. every success, every rise and every reverse of for tune. Both were in exulting youth when Fremont had the certainty that on. the Cahuenga plain he had com plefed the long hopes and great aims of wise men and had secured that ocean frontier that now gives us country from sea to sea.
 While abroad in 1s52-5s Mrs. Ere rnont's life reads like fairy tale. She was in London in the early days ot victoria's reign. To her the doors of the throne room were open; and for two hours she watched, in line with other diplomatic ladies. the beautiful procession of English women as they made their obeisanee before the Queen.
