GA good part of the DYSPEPSIA that

baking instead of roasting meats. We
say we roast our meats. We talk glib

ITO roast meat you must cook it
on a spit before the fire. You must
turn it constantly. Every little while
you must haste it. 1t is in every way
better than meat baked. 1t is tender

IN THROAT.
Interesting Deductions Made Recent
~ by "a student of WOmankind
at Its Best.

Some one has lately been making a
study of various throats, and has de-
duced some rather interesting, if some
what obvious results bearing upon the
character of women. The woman with
the swan-like neck is said to be "a crea-
ture whose mentality, to use a rather
modern invention in words, dominates
her existence. Physically delicate, the
long-necked woman is mentally very
much alert, but sensitive to an eX-
~traordinary degree. She is timid and
suspicious, yet when her trust is be-
trayed bears her woe in silence with
out a sign.
1t is no news to learn that the throat
that denotes obstinacy is short and
thick, and usually belongs to the girl
with athletic shoulders and not very
many inches in stature. Girls with
anatomical traits of this sort are eX-
tremely good naturcd, though they OBJ
tain their w way by persistence.
This is the type of woman whose
health is excellent, and whose outlook
upon life is emineEtly sensible. In 80
cases out of 100 she is the ruling spirit
of the home in which she abides, and is
never a lacking quantity when sound
advice and ready help are needed. She
is also noted for her executive ability,
and on this account does not mind
mounting platforms or organizing So
cletles that will help her sex a step
forward on the road to complete eman-
cipation.
All curves and white, satin-like soft
ness is the threat of the born enchan-
tress, upon which the head is set as ex-
qulsltely as was that of Helen of Troy.
consciously or unconsciously the CO.

her beautiful and supple neck. Some
times she viii hold it on one side. at
other times her head will droop like a

without reason of the perfect neck of

say it resembles a round, white column,
and no other words describe its beauty
more correctly.

well, | will tell you about it from the
beginning. Twas born in Oneida, Wis,
in 1879. Ny parents are typical Onei-
das. In their union were joined the
two greatest chieftain lines of our
tribe-the Corneliuses and that of
Daniel Bread. Daniel Bread, my
mothers father, and a great uncle
Cornelius of mine were two of the
great Indian orators and the brainiest
men the race has ever produced.
II was reared on a large farm with
my parents in a perfectly civilized
fashion. When l came of school age
my father removed from the heart of
the reserve to the backwoods on the
outskirts, so hat he might have white
neighbors on one side and give us the
advantage of the white public school,
not wishing to be further dependent
OF the government Indian schools.
He believes that reserve life is most
unconductive to a liberal development.
Because of my extreme fraiEty my
school life was much interrupted.

four years, of which at least one
quarter of the time | was obliged to
be absent. They told me there that

but l said l would do the work in four,

"Literature shall be my life work,
and its aim shall be to benefit my
people. This can be done in literature
in a way not. l think, undertaken be-

of the Indian race must of necessity
be written by an Indian, if they are
to be correctly portrayed. White men

with the English language half on my
tongue, l dreamed of writing books.
Perhaps it seems strange to an out
slider, for I know the ideas that prevail
in regard to Indian life, but to do
something great when l grew up was
impressed upon me from my cradle
by my parents, and l have known no
other ambition.
The legends which l have complet-

In due season the Cunarder arrived

what he had that was dutiable or the
