Muddy. sIushy. Dusty London.

In spite Of, or possibly because Of,
Parliament, the London County Coun-
cil the metropolitan boroughs, and
the lighting and water companies,
London is possibly the most inconve-
nient and most untidy city of Europe.
The streets are either muddy, slushy
or dusty; they are Uttered with straw,
cabbage leaves, newspaper posters
and omnibus tickets; they are con-
stantly being grubbed up for some rea-
son or other; barrels of beer, Goals
and other goods are delivered across
the footways at all hours of the day;
omnibuses are allowed to block the
streets pretty much as they please.
and chimneys are allowed to make
the air filthy because they cannot get

rather is dependent for It's due regula.

should be the governing body, but

serted Rome, the holy father Cancelled
the title. But Henry liked it so well
that he had an act Of parliament

his successors forever. Since then
English monarchs have been Defend

water Valuable ns nr,n,-

If you do not accustom yourself to
drink water regularly, you are liable to
have the waste products of the tissues
Of the body form faster than they are
removed. Great weakness and languor
on rising in the morning is generally
due to a large secretion Of these waste
products, and the remedy is to drink a
umblerfull of water-either hot or cold
just before retiring. This materially
assists in the process during the night

Mr. Geo. W. Cissel, the Georgetown

Indians are not easily persuaded to

the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way II
often arduous and the results discour-
aging. An experiment of much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
In Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys TO milk
cows for him and agreed to give to
each one who milked for three months
nice calf. Fifteen boys started, but
they were so ridiculed by the older
men Of the tribe that twelve OF them
gave 1t up. Three won the calves and
the pride OF being owners of cattle
served as quite an assistance In get
ting other Indian children to try. After
year twelve boys had won calves and
the agent asked them to plow corn for
him, agreeing to give them all the
corn they could grow. Ten boys vol
unteered to grow corn and they ac-
tually raised 5000 bushels, which was
sold and afterward converted into
thirty-hve head of steers.
Each steer was branded with an in
dividual brand chosen by the boy
owner. This made them prouder than
ever and more industrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work
at once and the result of that expert
