INDIANS GETTING
:. :. !. DRUNK! D ! ON COLOGNE

From the New York Sun. I
= Eau de cologne and other toilet pre-.
parations are doing a great deal of harm
among the Indians of Peace River dis
trict, in northwestern Canada, accord
ing to member of the Canadian geo
logical survey who has just returned
from a visit to that region.
The harm comes from the fact that
the Indians drink them.
Cologne and various other concoc-
tions known as Florida water, essence
of ginger and essence of peppermint
are prepared especially for internal use
by traders, who are not permitted to
sell whisky to the Indians. The stuff is
in reality nine-tenths pure alcohol. y.
M. Macoun of the Canadian survey
says that the traffic in alcohol thus
disguised has become such a serious
matter that the missionaries have be-
come discouraged and the business of
, the Hudson Bay company promises 10
be embarrassed.
The Indians, have learned that the
sweet smelling things are to drink and
are not to be wasted as exterior ONT
ments. If one were to consult the DOM
lnion records. of importations one
would suppose that the Indian half
breeds of the northwest had suddenly
developed a remarkable fondness for
cleanliness, for the customs reports
show an unusual increase in the guam
tity Of toilet waters imported. Most of
these preparations come from the
United States.
According to Mr. Macoun, the effects
Of 6rinlxiner those Droro ra ti0,,c xorx,
serious. The cologne is especially in
furious, as it has shown a tendency to
effect the eyesight of Indians drinking
it continuously.
An Indian who has drunk pint
bottle of cologne contracts a jag which
would put a continuous round of ten
Manhattan cocktails to shame. The
prevailing tint of everything, according
to a few Intelligent half-breeds who
had used cologne, was a beautiful
green of varying shades.
Mr.. Macoun also asserts that he took
one drink of cologne just to See what
sort of stuff the Indians were drinking
and found it so sweet and nauseating
and at the same time SO burning hot
that he was glad to end his expert
ments. The essence Of peppermint
water, if taken in moderate quantities,
and the essence Of ginger, he thought,
might be beneficial to persons exposed
to the rigors of the northern climates.
but it would be far better to secure
unadulterated essences prepared at
chemists rather than to drink the
stuff prepared for the Indians and
half-breeds.

Lawyer for Defense Ito defendant)-
Is 1T true, as stated by plaintiff, that

Defendant-Not on your life!
Lawyer for Defense-Why do you
not pursue the same line Of conduct
now, in regard to your wife, that you
did before you were married?
Defendant-Nobody chases a bird
after he has caught and Gagged it.
Lawyer for Defense-Why do you no
longer spend hours telling her that you
never loved before, and could never
love again, and that she is the only
woman in the world for you?

NEST-BUILDING FISH.
Nature Affords Safe Asylum for the
Helpless Finny
Tnsha

From the Scientific Americana:
1t IL doubtful whether protective
mimicry among animals is better en-
emplified than in: the case of the fish
commonly known, as the marbled ang-
Ter of the Sargasso sea (Pterophryne
historio). Owing TO it's peculiar
structure, it is a poor swimmer, and it
therefore spends most of it's life moy-
Ing slowly about on the bottom, among
corals, 'seaweed, etc, which these
fishes closely resemble in color and in
outline. They cling too, to the floating
masses of sargassuuE weed with their
pediculated fins, and fhe color mark
ings OF the n ash cl0aefy resemh1e the
weed Itaelf ots ellpf "a oes= weed
thus furnish holne Tor this species,
but the fish actual Is Constructs "a nest
from: 1t and therein deposits its eggs.
One of these nests found in connec-
ton with the Hassler> expedition in
1871, was described las: consisting of
round mass of sargassum, about the
size of two fists rolled up together
To all appearances it was made of
nothing but this gulf weed, the BRAN
ches of the leaves of which were,
however, evidently knit together and
not merely tangled into a roundish
mass, for though some Of the leaves
and branches hung loose from the
nest, it became at once visible that
the bulk Of the ball was held together
By threads trending in every direction
among the seaweel.
By close observation it became ap.
parent that this mass OF seaweed was
a nest, the central pare of which was
bound up in the form Of ball, with
several loose branches extending in
various directions, by means of which
the whole was kept floating. On still
closer examination the nest above
described was found to be full of eggs
which were scattered throughout the
mass.
Nature has thus afforded a safe
asylum for these somewhat helpless
fishes, whose cutaneous filanaents,
which are plentifully provided on the
weed itself that predaceous fishes
fail to recognize the living animals,
and thus the latter escape extinction.

What She Wantcd.

She blushed as she entered the office
of the society paper, and when she said
that she was to be married soon. the
reason for her bushes was apparent.

mop
ooh, not at all. For instance, the
bride will not be beautiful
whats that?' cried the editor.
."Nor accomplished" added the young
woman. TITS so very common to be
beautiful and accomplishment the So

queenly graces and she isn't divine!y

ooh, it's quite impossible, I assure
you. I wouldn't be common for any
thing; I~would die of modification, if I
were really I would And, besides, it's
SO preposterous to add another to the
list. Everybody must know that. Why,
I've been reading your paper for two
years, and there haven't been any but
highly accomplished and divinely beau
tiful girls married in that whole time.
That's why came to speak to you.
It's so common to be all that-in

ality about my wedding. Anyhow, you
can easily figure it out that you've
married off so many beautiful and ac-
complished girls that there can't pos
sibly be any left"

The Crier-Silence in the Court! The
Honorable the Court of Cupid is now
in session.
Judge-Call the first case.
PolIceman-Your, Honor, the prison
er is at the bar
Judge-With what offense is this
man charged?
Poiceman-He was run in on a wa III.
rant sworn out by his wife, !: 20
charges that he does not love h. 5>any
mo-o-o-ore.
Lawyer for Prosecution-Hay it
please the Court, and you, gentlemen
of the jury, it has become my painful
duty to prosecute this man for the
most henious crime known to Cupid's
Court, that Of ceasing to love.
The man who has never loved may
plead extenuating circumstances for
his offense He may have lived in
New England village full of spinsters,
where there was nothing to love, or
be the victim of a clam-like temper
ament. But the recreant lover-the-
man who has loved and gotten over it
has committed the crime of lese
majesty against love itself. Such
criminal. gentlemen of the jury, is the
heartless wretch who now stands be-
fore you. His love was once like the
burning sirocco It is now the. tenn
perature Of Il quick lunch buckwheat
cake.
Once he breathed vows of deathless
devotion into, thea1plahitiff's shell-like
ear; now he %fisses <;compI aints of the
steak into these same sheIl-like men,
bers. Once, when she wept, he kissed
away the tears; now he tells her for
heavens sake to shut up and quit MAX
ing fool of herself.
Picture to yourselves, gentlemen of
the jury, the anguish of a devoted wife
who sits with her finger upon the
pulse Of her husbands affection and
sees it go down from fever heat to
normal. from normal to tepid, and from
tepid to frost. Such has been the
unhappy fate of my client, who, after
consulting seven fortune ~teHers; the,
answers to correspondents columns of
the daily newspapers, and all other
legitimate means of obtaining recipes
for recovering her husbands affection,
has felt constrained to seek the pro-
lection of this Honorable Court.

Lawyer for Prosecution-What other
reason have you for thinking he has
