indians Dying Off From the Effects
of Wearing Goats.

Washasston letter: The white mans

the vaHe of the red man of the
west. At least one tribe of Indians
is succumbing to the e~vervating infu-
ence of the tailor-made coat. The Topo-
kawas, of whom a few lonely individuals
still survive, were an agricultural race
living happily in the bottom lands of the
Colorado river near the Gulf of Cali
fornia. They peacefully titled the soil
and went about as their ancestors had
done for hundreds of years, enjoying life
in their untutored ashion But one day
sudden envy of the white mans wardrobe
implanted itself in their breasts.
Then after each harvest the head of the
family put IS or 100 pounds of corn into
small sacks and made the seventy-ive
miles journey to Yuma. Here the corn
was sold to the traders for about $l.5O.
which Is fully SO cents under the market
value, and he invariably spent all of the
proceeds in shirts and overalls for HIM
self and calico for his wives.

Professor w. j. MCGEE of the bureau of
ethnology said of this strange case:
The fact is, they are dying from civil

from the fact that their civilization has
not kept pace with their ambition. They
arc an interesting people from the fact
that they are the lowest, most primitive

New Cure for Rheumatism.

Hester, Mo-, Dec. 1G.-An unusual
CASE which has recently come to light
here is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic rheumatism so Sc
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and abso-
lutely incurable. At times the pain was
almost unbearablp and she could not
rest day or night.
Some few months ago she vas Undue

edy recently introduced in this neigh

magical and she continued till she had
taken eight boxes, and now she de
clares she has not an ache or pain left.
She believes that she is completely and
permanently cured, and as she has not
used the pills Tor some months and is
to-day in the best of health, the doctors
who were at first skeptlcal are amazed.

The use of drugs for the purpose of
inducing sleep is always attended with
=, s, danger. OF course,
the degrees of dan
ger vary with the
person who uses the medicines, but
such potions. are not things to be trust
ed to the hands of ignorance, especi-
ally where ignorance is personally in
terested. Sleep-inducing drugs are
often necessary TO save from worse
evils, but they need supervision-a
Doctors supervision, that is, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Lastly, as to the
economy of nervous energy. On this,
too, much has been said, but the text
is a fruitful and suggestive one and
many sermons could be hammered out
of it.
First, let it be repeated that whether
the essential cause of nervousness can
be reached and conquered or not, the
less open manifestations of nervous
ness the patient permits herself the
better il will be for her in every way.
Do not talk about your feelings or your
fatigue or your sleep; do not allow the
word nerves to be uttered in your
presence. To talk about yourself is a
form of bad manners, 10 say the least;
to be sorry for yourself will not make
anyone more sorry for you, and self
pity is poor kind of an emotion. If
once this kind of talk becomes habit
an unconscious eXaggeration soon
creeps into it; the victim begins to
make the most of the feeling and pains
which have occurred and to look for
new ones in order to get all the SYM
pathy possible, and from this to be
imagining symptoms is short and
sadly easy step. To cultivate and en-
courage genuine emotions to over
growth is bad enough, to SOW and till
crop of false emotions is a moral

A writer of some note named Hem
~ Gannett has divided the census

A writer or some note named Hem
ry Gannett has divided the census
r,. Av.r,. totals by 100000
900 and discovered
the statistical nv
erage American. In Everybody's
Magazine he gives n concise descrip-
ton of this interesting being. He
finds that he is an octoroon with a
dominant Anglo-Saxon strain.
Through all the mixture of German,
French, Irish, Scandinavian and the
nations of southern Europe, the an
cient Anglo-SaXon holds the mastery.
Physically, this average American
bear in mind he is the statistical
average-is five feet eight inches in
height, has chest measurement of
30 inches, and weighs $50 pounds.
He probably looks over the heads of
all European peoples, being nearly
an inch taller than his English cous-
in and more than an inch taller than
the German. However, both Eng
lishmen and Germans are heavier,
He is 81 years old. He expects to
live 30 years, more than year long
er than his English and German
cousins. His wife is 35 years old,
five feet four inches in height, and
weighs 1876 pounds. She expects to
live n year longer than her husband.
He lives on n farm near Columbus,
n n ic oh 10,
an annual income of $3.50. He pays
taxes on 40 per cent. of the real
worth of his property. His annual
tax bill is $l4.60. The family-there
of the land. If they lived in Europe
they would be considered extrava-
giant. They use not only domestic
products, but imported goods. They
consume 1880 pounds of wheat -four,
600 pounds of oat and corn meal, $50
pounds of meat, or about two pounds
day; $50 pounds of potatoes, 100
pounds of butter and 300 pounds of
sugar. This family drinks more cof-
fee than any similar family on earth,
one pound week being consumed.
Tea is not so popular, about five
pounds year sufiicing. The cost of
this menu is about SIG month. The
average American has vices. He
uses 20 pounds of tobacco n year, or
one ounce day. Despite the fact
that his father and grandfather used
the weed, it does not appear to have
hurt him. He is not q total abstain
er. His family, of which he is the
major portion, consumes seven and
a half gallons of spirits and wine and
not less than IS gallons of beer. He
uses less spirits and more malt
liquors than did his ancestors. For
clothing the annual bill is about 500.
1t is ready-made, as are the shoes.
His wife keeps no servant, and is a
companion to her husband. He is
the greatest newspaper and maga-
zine reader on earth. He is alive to
his opportunities, has clear head,
and aims to become the typical
American, the man who will rule the
world.
