When it is possible thing, have
separate bed for every child, even
though there are two beds in room.
This is by no means an expensive
matter Good legs can be turned or
made at home and supplied with
casters. Fasten these onto woven
wire springs, and over them fasten
good mattress of curled hair or
moss. Make a cover of heavy un-
bleached muslin to protect the mat
tress, and then make it up as you
would any bed. A pretty outer cover
or spread made of art denim, linen
or other suitable material, made with
a fiounce reaching to the floor, will
convert this bed into an attractive
diyan If the room is needed during
the day. A nice bath is very refresh
ing just before bedtime, and is usually
productive of quiet sleep. 1t means
considerable work for the busy mother
of several children, but it generally
pays in the end.

GOVERNOR OF VAST REGION.

Notwithstanding the facts and fig
ures made familiar by our biographies
and books of reference, few even of our
most intelligent Americans realize the
vast extent of the territory stretching
away from the northern boundary of
the United States to the Arctic seas,
and included in the area known as the
northwest territories, a political divis-
ion of the Dominion OF Canada. These
territories, which include several Arc
tic islands, have a total area of 2,254,-
931 square miles-an area thirty times
that of England, and greater than that
of all of India. This vast region, how
ever, is not great in many things, ex-
cept rivers, lakes. and cold and sterile
plains and mountain ranges. 1t has
a population of only little over 1OO,-
000 and a large part of the country
north and west of Hudson's bay is al
most uninhabitable. The chief execu-
tive officer of this truly regal domain
is lieutenant governor, appointed by

Late Count
GOurkO

Field Marshal Count Gcurko Of Rus
sia died on his estate at Scharow,
Tver, a few days ago
Such good steel as this is ht for
man Of such iron will" was the in
scription on the sword presented to
General Gourko by officers OF the
guards after the Russo-Turkish war, in
which he won distinction.
Born in 1928, Joseph Vassilyevich
Gourko became an imperial page when
fifteen years old. After serving in the
imperial body guard under Emperor
Nicholas |. and attracting attention by
gallantry in the Crimea. he became a
captain in 1857, colonel in 1861. took
command of the fourth regiment OF
Hussars i'm 1866 and was promoted to
major general in 1867.
II was in the Russo-Turkish war of
1877 that dogged perseverance, COM
bined with brilliant dash. placed him
in the front rank of European soldiers.
Twice within six months, i'm the heat
of summer and again in furious De-
cember SHOWS, he penetrated the Bal
kans, which the Turks had declared
impossible. On the first occasion he
compelled the withdrawal of o numer-
ically superior body of the enemy. who
for ten days besieged his intrenched
position in the Shipka Pass.
Commanding the cavalry of Prince
Charles of Roumania he covered the
army besieging Plevna and beat off the
strong force with which Mahomet Ali
Pacha sought to relieve that fortress.
His successes won him the rank of
field marshal, the title of count and the
civil and military command of Poland,
besides other honors and pensions.
Strongly believing in approximating
conditions in peace meanoeuvres to
those Of actual war, he seriously ad-
vocated the distribution of one full
with every nine blank cartridges. He
argued that such accidents" as might
occur would be far outweighed by the
advantage of accustoming the men to

TRADE OF EATING.
Indians Hire Professional Eaters to As
sist Their Guests.

sist Their Guests.
One of the most striking customs of
the past that are preserved by the In
dians OF today is found among the
tribes on the Devils Lake reservation
in North Dakota. Supervisor Wright
of the Indian service gives the follow
ing account of this peculiar practice:
From time immemorial the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old GUS
tom in regard to the treatment of a
guest. According to their etiquette,
it Is the bounden duty of the host to
supply his guest with all the food he
may desire, and as q rule the oppo ton
ment set before the Indian is much in
excess of the capacity of single man.
But by the same custom, the guest Is
obliged to eat all that is placed before
him, else he grossly insults his enter
tainer. 1t was found that this prac-
tice would work a hardship, but in
stead of dispensing with the custom,
the Indian method of reasoning was
applied, and what is known as the pro
fessional eater was brought to the
front. While the guest is supposed to
eat all that is placed before him, it
serves the same purpose if his neigh
boz assists in devoUring the bountiful
repast, the main object being to have
the plate clean when the meal is fin
ished. 1t is not always practicable to
depend upon a neighbor at table to
assist in getting away with large
dinner, and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion.
visiting Indians call upon these pro-
fessional eaters, whose duty is to sit
beside them through a meal and eat
what the guest leaves. The profession
al eaters are never looked upon in the
light of guests, but more as travelling
companions with particular duty to
perform. These eaters receive from
81 to 81, and even SO for each meal
where they assist II is stated by the
agent at the DEVILS Lake reservation
that one of the professional eaters has
been known to dispose OF seventeen
pounds of beef at sitting. That they
are capable Of eating an almost fabu
lous amount. myself can testify. -
