TERRIBLE Erect of Bad Air.

At every moment of the human life
the air which we breathe goes coursing
through the most delicate and sensitive
of the wonderfully constructed organs
of the human system to purify and re-
invigorate the vital currents of life.
But what If the purifier shall itself be
unclean and laden with the seeds of
pollution? Having once done its work
and come forth tainted and foul, what
if it shall again and again be called to
perform the task for which 1t is no Ion
ger fitted? The natural and inevitable
deduction is not far to reach. The
blood is no longer purified, but 1t goes
coursing through the body, the source
of disease and corruption instead of
being the fountain of pure, perfect
healthfulness.
Other organs by sympathy or by di-
rect contagion become affected. The
Imagination is too often Influenced as
well, anticipation conjures up dire
evils, and the sufferer, who is now in
such earnest flies from one ''blood pu-
rifier" or "tonic" to another, gaining
perhaps temporary and questionable
relief at the expense of system loaded
with poisonous and harmful drugs,
whose reaction may be expected at any
time and in almost any horrible form.

SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS SHOOK THE EARTH
in case of a row. The engine house we
made our fort, and 80 men behind its
loopholed walls would make a good
fight of it. But yet we had something
more than powder and lead to depend
upon. If the Yaquls came through the
mountain pass, they would approach
the works, two miles distant, by way
of two ravines which led quite to our
DOORS In some places these ravines
were only six or seven feet deep, in
others over 30 with stone walls on
either side. Under the direction of a
civil engineer powder and dynamite
charges were hidden away in these
walls and buried in the earth and wires
connected with the power house and
an electric battery.
Had it been possible to buy the
friendship of the Yaquis we should
have attempted it and thus secured
our safety, but we knew they We're
not to be tempted by anything we
could offer. We had been working
full force for three months, with an
alarm now and then, when we learned
why we had not been disturbed by
raiding parties. The whole fighting
force of the Yaquis, numbering be-
tween 1000 and 5000, was gathering
for grand effort to sweep across the
mountains and clear the country to the
Rio Grande. This had been the dream
of the chief for years, and his people
had been treasuring up rifles and am
munition. When the force was finally
ready to move, the Mexican govern
on the north and it was too late to
send out anything like a general alarm.
The 1900 well armed savages, know
ing no mercy, fell upon prospector,
freighter, hunter, miner and villager,
and not a man escaped from their
hands. Almost by accident we got
word of the movement, and the mine
was closed, the poems were sent away,
and we prepared for a siege. Look
outs were established along both ra-
vines, and we had four days in which
to hear the tales of panic stricken
fugitiyes who passed our way
The Yaquis had no pity for age, sex
or condition. They found the people
almost defenseless, and when they had
captured village every man, woman
and child was put to the torture. Ev-
cry habitation was burned, live stock
was slaughtered, and even the dogs
and cats were killed. The idea was to
leave nothing alive behind them The
army did not push forward at swift
pace, but dallied along and spent hours
witnessing the torture of its victims.

They said it was a reckless thing to
do and that only Americans would
have attempted it. On the west side of
the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico
are the roaming grounds of the Yaqui
Indians, and between the Yaqui and
Fuerte rivers is their main stronghold.
And yet we opened the Sunset mine
with only the mountain range between
us and every man from president to
the cheapest workman realizing that
we might be attacked at any hour The
Yaquis have warred with the Mexieans
for the last 200 years, and their hands
are raised against all others who in
wade their domains.
We were months in getting ma
chinery over from Chihuahua, erecting
buildings and fairly opening the mine,
and, though we had a guard of so
Mexican soldiers, we worked in the
shadow of death, as it were. If the
Yaquis came through the pass, they
would come in such numbers as to
overwhelm us. Strangely enough, as
we thought at the time, they let US
alone, and at length the guard was
withdrawn, and we were left to our
selves. We had a force of 80 white
men and 100 peon laborers. Not one
of these poems could be depended on

straight for us, and it was half an hour
before sunset one evening when we
the plain and begin close survey Of
our situation. We were ready for
them, but we knew that no attack
would be made before morning. They
would have had long march and be
fatigued, and they would wait until all
their force was up. An hour after sun
rise next morning we witnessed a spec
tacle that made the flesh creep a bit.
Fully 1000 Yaquis gathered in a COM
pact body between us and the mouth of
the pass and chanted wild and saw
age song, and we We're only 80 against
them. They sent no flag of truce to de-
mand a surrender They may have
even hoped we would show fight, as
they had met with no resistance as vet.
AS we had hoped and planned for, the
Yaquis advanced by the ravines. A
body of about 500 was told off for each
ravine, Skirmishers were sent on ahead.
and the main body looked on. Thirty
men with Winchester rifles inside of
stone fort are no mean foe, but we soon
realized that in this case we were al
most helpless. So swiftly and steadily
did the Indians advance and so hot was
their fire at the loopholes that we soon
had five men killed and could not reply
except at great risk. Their advance
was within stones throw of US in both
ravines when we resorted to the cleo
trio wires. Few men will ever witness
the sight we did. There was a series
of explosions which shook the earth for
miles around, with bursts of fame and
smoke leaping to the clouds, and after
one fearful yell there was silence in
both ravines. 1t was half an hour be-
fore the smoke blew away so that we
could see the main band. The warriors
stood there without movement, seem
ing to have been struck dumb, and 1t
was another hour before they broke up
into small parties and marched into the
mouth of the pass. We thought 1t
ruse, and no man left the power house
until next afternoon. Then it was dis
covered that they had gone for good,
and that without looking after their
killed or wounded.
Down In the two ravines, buried I'M
der the debris or lying scorched and
torn and mangled among the rocks
were over 900 warriors, all wiped out
at the tick of the clock. 1t was such a
stupeudous loss, such terrible and
mysterious calamity, that even the
fierce Yaquis were terror stricken and
turned back. They returned to their
valley, awed and frightened, telling
a story that awed and frightened those
left behind and from that date their
power was broken. They have made
war since only in small parties and in
a half hearted way. and their dream
of driving out the Gringo and the Mex
lean and recovering their own has
been shattered forever.

The women shave Their Heads.

One part of Egypt shows where the
outward and visible evidences of the
aboriginal have been softened down
with a veneer which the softeners
| fondly imagined is indicative of in
ward and spiritual grace. This is along
$50 mile stretch of the White Nile,
where the Shilluks live and move and
have their being.
| Now, the Shilluks are picturesque
and promising people. They have
their Fashoda for a capital and their
memories of Lord Kitchener of Khar-
tum which no man may take from
them. Wherefore, what matters 1t that
they have lost their original lawless-
ness, their former turbulence and their
cheerful speciality of roasting the en-
envy on the point of the spit?
Now the Shilluks are so civilized
| they carry short wooden clubs after
the fashion of the Broadway police
man and occasionally brandish a long
spear in true light opera style. They
lead an enviable life, these Shilluks;
nothing to do all the livelong day but
| lie on the messy bank and spear the
horny hided hippopotamus as he glides
within range, or make dead crocodile
of live one by the simple eXpedient
of harpooning him through his yitals.
AS for work, that is for woman, and
my lord of the Shilluks never puts his
hand to it.
Agriculture is yet an undeveloped
industry, and what little developing
has already taken place has been at
the instance and hands of the wives.
The Shilluk country is not the birth
place of the seven brotherhood sisters
of glorious hirsute memory. All the
women of the tribe shave their heads.
