AMERICAN BOY"

Napoleon Bonaparte" occupies the place of honor in the September num- Der of SThe American Boy.'' The frontispiece is a drawing of the young Napoleon, supposed to be a good DOT trait of him at the age that he entered the military school at Brienne. The editor of 'sThe American Boy' has un- dertaken to write the history of Ma poleon for boys, and the first chapter, treating of Corsica and the Corsicans, Napoleon's parentage, birth, childhood and school days, appears ih this num- Der. There are seventy-five pie lures in this interesting number illus trating the stories and the leading ar- ticles. Among the stories, in addition to the Napoleon Bonaparte story, are the following: My Only Bear;;'' "Rob's Race;;'' "Stiff-Neck Peter" "Abe's Luck;;'' "A Young Hero Of the Frontier" by Captain Jack Crawford, ex-chief of scouts; Patsy Mulligan, the Cub;" "A Tale of the Southwest; ;;''
 "A Lesson in Botany ..The Downfall of @ Forest Tribe,'' and s'The Wild West Show" Other articles that con- tribute to the interest of this number are 'The Pennsylvania Nautical SchooP' and s'The Bluecoat, Famous London School" A page is devoted to How to Do Things" and another to the first of a series of articles by Archer Brown, of Rogers, Brown & Go, New York, entitled "Top or Bottom Which?'

STORIES OF sNAKEBITEs.
Statistics Regarding Fatalities In In- dia Are Unreliable. and the
 Reason

An English traveller just returned from India says that the stories about the great number of deaths. from snake-bites in India are to a great extent unreliable, as statistics, when carefully analysed, show. He ac- counts, moreover, for the extreme ex- aggerations in figures on very plausi- ble grounds. In India, he says, tn law requires that when there is sud- den death detailed report of it must be made to the civic surgeons, and as there are many such deaths far from the civic offices where the report should be made, the under officers perform their duty with the least possible trouble. To save the annoyance of transporting dead bodies, or vital or gans, and the loss of time in getting evidence on the facts of the cases which may be plain murders, by poison or otherwise--a report of death by "snakebite" is made. This sort of re- port is very convenient and makes in- teresting statistics.

aHAPPY HooLIGAN.v

Gayety will abound at Polls during the last half of this week, when Happy Hooligan" disports himself, under the wise guidance of Gus Hill, for the delectation of the multitude The production is one in which farce comedy, comic opera and extravaganza are harmoniously blended. The com edy is full of life and action, of that sparkling effervescent sort which catches the popular fancy and leaves only pleasant memories of pretty girls, cavorting comedians, sweet singers, dainty dancers, gorgeous costumes and sumptuous scenic display Thousands have looked and laughed at Oppers clever cartoons of Happy Hooligan'' in the metropolitan press, with every mans hand against him, and almost every mans foot at the same time, while his especial enemy, the "Cop,'' hounds him persistently. The piece is staged and costumed with liberality and good taste and a number of de- cidedly bright and catchy musical numbers are introduced. Prices are %, 35 and 50 cents

UNIQUE INDIAN CURE
t Includes Fiddle, Whisky, Frogs
 and Magic Passes.
To This Combination the Typhoid Fever Devil Is Sure to Succumb, According to the Micmso
 Tradition.

The Presque Isle (Me.) correspond ent of the New York Sun reports that four weeks ago old Sandy Niccut, the great medicine man of the Micmac h. dians, was discovered in his tent just outside the village unconscious, and suffering from a malady, which the local doctor said was typhoid fever. He was taken to house where he re- yived enough to tell his attendants that he would die unless Eli LeClare, B French-Canadian musician who lived at Miramichi, was sent for.
 A telegram was therefore sent to LeClare, asking him to come and bring his fiddle. Two days later, the wrinkled Frenchman and his battered fiddle reached Presque Isle.
 The medicine man was unconscious when Eli entered the sickroom. The musician screwed up his instrument, twanged the strings for a moment and began to play in minor key, the low notes rolling off from his bow like shavings under the stroke of 8 plane.
 The sick man was tossing in a de- tirious fever when Eli started to play, but as the music continued, he became more quiet, his respiration was less iabored, and at the end of an hour, he was sleeping quietly and perspiring.
 "Heem bin geet we'll now," cried the, fiddler. "Ah'm bin scar out ze fever devil, so Sandy heem bin sleep"
 He sent for a pint of whisky, and having drunk more than one-half of it, he mixed the remainder with cold wa ter and began to .bathe the body of, his friend, chanting an Indian lullaby while he worked, and making passes, such as are practiced by magicians when they try to exercise evil spirits.
 The patient rested we'll that night. When he grew feverish Eli rubbed his bow across the catgut and reduced the temperature of his friend. For three
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-17


 weeks the French-Canadian watched by the bed of the sick Indian, dosing himself with whisky and bathing the patient in whisky and water every hour.
 The doctor, certain that the Indian would die, paid little heed to the case beyond calling once a day to take the temperature of the sick man. The fever ran it's course, and on the twenty first day, when it turned, Eli went out for half an hour, coming back with six large bulfrogs, which he placed upon the sick mans bodys three on each side. il
 After this he resumed his playing and did not stop sweeping the bow across the sounding strings until Sandy had broken out. in precipitation and was sleeping easily.
 s'Now geev heem one quart of cole milk" ordered the musician, s'an' heem bin geet we11.'
 When Sandy had taken the milk as ordered and had slept for few hours, those about his bed. He felt the cold frogs against his skin and asked to have them removed. Eli turned back the sheet and took from the bed six swollen and discolored frogs, all of them dead.
 ''Fever devil beem go in ze frogs an' mak' ze frogs die,'' said Eli. "Now Sandy heem geet well pretty kveek.''
 Delivering himself of his diagnosis of the case, the musician took his fiddle from the table. put on his fur cap and walked down to the railroad station. where he purchased ticket for Mira michi.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.

Tho new government printing office at Washington, now approachlng con.- nletion. is a wonderful plant and' huilt at a cost of $2,000,00O, will cover over fourteen acres of floor space says the New England Printer.
 When in full operation it will be the greatest printing shop in the world, ana will employ 4.000 persons, one-Iourtn of whom will be women and girls
 The pay roll will call for an expend1- ture of S3,OOO,000 a year, and gen eral expenses will call for another mil lion.
 In the main composing room there will be 2S5 typesetters, while in the binding room there will be 665 em- ployes who will do nothing but fold printed sheets by hand, and another 500 who will work at nothing but bind ings.
 There will be 125 presses of every conceivable kind from the little f0or power card presses to the big perfect ing presses capable of printing any thing up to 24 page newspaper.
 There are four big envelope presses that can turn out 10000 printed enve- lopes in an hour, and another big ma chine is capable of printing cards on both sides from web of bristol board at the rate of 65,O00 cards every 60 minutes.
 In the typesetting room the type cases hold 1,5O0,000 pounds of type.
 No other government spends as much money in public printing as does the United States, and when one reads description of this magnificent printing plant, and the work it is expected to do, there is about nine-tenths of the work that looks like squandering money.
 One report recently submitted to con- gress will be scattered broadcast by the congressman and over 100 tons of paper will be used in is printing.
 In printing the Congressional Record 100 typesetters are kept busy all the time, and the publication costs the gov ernment $1, ,25O0O0 year.
 The office has turned out some very rapid work in its time and once issued 29S page book in 24 hours. 1t was report on the blowing up of the Maine, the typesetting, printing and illustrat- ing, as well as the binding being at tended to in a single day.

icy Kinlamb, her afianced husband, attended 8 small reception at the home of mutual friend in Denver, according to the Post of that city. Miss Kerstris and her friend had or dered bathing suits together and they were looking them over in the women's wraproom. Some one dared Miss Kerstris to don her suit and ask Kinlamb to inspect it. It was no sooner said than done, but when Kinlamb learned the nature of the summons he refused to go.
 Thereupon Miss Kerstris and her friends repaired to the room where the lover was. One glance was enough to tell him that the skirt was too inconspicuous. He turned away blushing Everybody else in the room seemed to be delighted with the garb.
 How do. you like it, Wesley?" asked Miss Kerstris.
 "It's awful, he replied, ungallant- iy. ssYou cant wear that thing at Glenwood Springs"
 "Well, I intend to wear it,' said Miss Kerstris, with an angry stamp of her foot.

 The Mysterious La Bierre is proving all that his title implies at the Jacques, and the person is yet to pc found who is able in any sort or con yincing way to fathom his operations in the black art. Probably no magl- elan that has yet appeared on the loeal stage has shown himself so aruul III the essential principle of palming, ana his illusions are carried out on the same scale of perfection. The cage and box tricks, similar to those that Kellar has made popular, are executed with all the precision and finish that mark the work of that famous mag1- cian His paper tearing feat, Ill which he destroys narrow strlp or paper about two feet in length and then after rolling the torn mass into shapeless wad draws it out into what seems to be the original strip, is a marvellous trick and one that is en- tirely original De Bierre, in fact, gives an hours entertainment in p minutes, and it is an entertainment in which there is not a minute without its particular interest.
