AGE TO WHICH MAN SHOULD'VE

Little Change Since the Days of Abra-
ham and the Patriarchs.
There has been very little, if any,
change in the duration of mans life
since the days Of the patriarchs-that
is, some four or five thousand years
ago. Every one did not attain to
great age in those days any more than
they do to-day, for various reasons
stated in the Bible, and as that is the
place we have to go for early records.
l will begin with quotation from it,
Genesis vi 8: And the Lord said,
My Spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he also is flesh; yet his
DAYS shall be an hundred and twenty
years."
Abraham lived to be It's years old
Out his two younger brothers appear
to have died before him). Abraham's
wife, Sarah, lived to be 127 years old;
Isaac lived to be 100; Ishmael lived to
be 1877; Jacob lived to be 147; Joseph
lived to be ITO; Kohatt lived to be 1873;
his son, Amram, lived to be 1877; his
son, Moses. lived to be 100: Aaron was
three years older than his brother, and
died some years before him; Joshua
lived to be 11C.
The number Of persons reported in
1900 as .centenarians and over was:
England, 10; Ireland. SIS; Scotland,
46; Sweden, 10; Norway. %; Belgium,
5: Denmark. 2; Switzerland. none;
Spain, 4O1; Servia, SIS; France, 213.
This is not by any means a complete
list, as only some countries are given.
but it helps to prove that we should
live to be 40 years or over. and that
we do not do so was not the plan or
intention of the Almighty Canadian
Churchman.

CRAFTY PIT RIVER INDIANS.

They Secured Many Ponies in Spite of
Treaty Prohibition.
Have you ever heard how a treaty
between the Modoc and Pit River In
dams, way out in eastern Oregon, was
nullifed?" asked NJ. t. Roger. while
discussing frontier and early day ex-
periences. 1.-The two tribes were at
constant warfare with each other long
years ago, and the fortunes Of war va
ried. Some seasons victory would be

would subjugate them. Upon one oc-
casion the Modocs managed to capture
the entire band through some strategy,
and when they counted noses 1t was
found that captors and captured were
about equal in number. When the
necessary guards were supplied to
keep the prisoners from escaping 1t
was found that there were not enough
Modocs left to do the hunting or go
on the warpath.
FINALLY q council was held and the
chiefs reached an agreement for a
treaty of peace between the two tribes.
The condition of the treaty was that
the Pit River Indians were never again
to own horses, this being required be-
cause the Modocs could easily keep
them under control without horses to
do their marauding. The captured
band returned to their hunting grounds
and established villages, but were
without horses for number Of years.
ATTRACTED by the excellent sheep
range territory, ranchmen from north
ern California invaded the Pit River
country and brought with them large
herds Of ponies to be used in rounding
up. The Indians looked with longing

A CREE BEAR HUNT.


The Wood Crees Of the Far North
have a great respect for their little
brother" makwa, the bear, and the
braves array themselves for q bear
hunt in their finest dress Of ceremony.
In 1.-The Silent Places" Stewart Ed
ward White describes an attack on 4
bear by a party of Indians, as wit
messed by two woodsmen.
Dick and Sam perceived sudden
excitement in the leading canoes.
Haukemah stopped, then cautiously
backed until well behind the screen of
the point.
Its q BEAR" said Sam, quietly.
They've gone to get their war paint
on"
In short time the Indian canoes re-
appeared. The Indians had intercept
ed their women, unpacked their bag
gage, and arrayed themselves in buck
skin, deliberately embroidered with
beads and silks in the flower pattern.
Ornaments Of brass and silver, sacred
skins Of the beaver, broad dashes of
ocher and vermilion on the naked skin,
twisted streamers of colored wool ali
added to the barbaric gorgeousness.
Phantom-like, without apparently
the slightest directing motion, the
bows Of the canoes swung like wind
vanes to point toward a little heap
Of drift logs under the shadow of an
elder bush. The bear was wallowing
In the cool wet sand.
Now old Haukemah rose to his
height in the bow of his canoe, and
began to speak rapidly in low voice,
In the soft Cree tongue.
20 makwa, our little BROTHER he
said, I'VE come to you. not in anger,
nor In disrespect. We come to do you
kindness. Here are hunger and cold
and enemies. In the Afterland is only
happiness. So IL we shoot you, O
uakwa, our little brother. be not an
CRY with u.s."
With the shock of a dozen little bull
let's the bear went down, but was i'm
mediately afoot again. He was badly
wounded and thoroughly enraged. Be-
fore the astonished Indians could back
water, he had dashed into the shall
lows and planted his paws on the
bow Of old Haukemah's canoe.
Haukemah stood valiantly to the lie
tense, but was promptly upset and
pounced upon by the enraged animal.
Dick Heron rose suddenly to his feet
and shot. The bear collapsed into the
muddied water.
Haukemah and his steersman rose,
dripping. The Indians gathered to ex-
anime in respectful admiration Dicks
bullet had passed from ear to ear.

MES. When the fall weather came
and corrals were found necessary, the
ranchmen entered into an agreement
for the services of the Indians to sup
ply rails to fit up corrals. The Indians
refused pay for the work done, but
took ponies instead. They also refused
to accept full pay, insisting upon owing
the ranchmen a balance upon each
pony secured, so that the title remained
in the name of the whites

enemies had been supplied with ponies

ANTIDoTE FOR cAReoLIc ACID.
An Englishnan Has Tried Turpentine

An EngIishman Has Tried Turpentine
with Success.
A remarkable discovery has appar-
emily been made by a Dublin veter-
mary surgeon named Allen, respecting
an antidote for carbolic acid poisoning.
Some time ago his attention was
drawn to two horses which were evil
IDENTITY suffering from poisoning. On
examining one be noticed that the mu-
rous surface of the mouth was blanch-
ed, and that the animal was stagger
ing. There was general twitching OF
the muscles, the eyes were staring and
the animal was rapidly assuming a
comatose condition. Mr.. Allen asked
for some oil, linseed for preference, II
any kind OF oil that was handy. Some
was brought, and about two wine
glasses full administered to one OF the
animals, the effect being, to quote the
words OF Mr.. Allen, miraculous. For
the first time he then noticed that the
'.oi'' which had been given TO the
horse was the ordinary turpentine OF
commerce. So satisfied was be with
the result that he gave the second
horse dose. although at the time the
animal was unconscious. In about ten
minutes it recovered, and both horses
were at work the next day as If moth
ing had happened.
Not long after this. by peculiar CO

premises. Ultimately he discovered that
the man had drunk out Of the wrong
vessel. and imbibed a solution of the
Gcid instead Of the stout A doctor
was at once sent for, but, in the mean
time, Mr.. Allen administered dose OF
turpentine that happened to be on the
premises. and the man not only quick
ly recovered, but resumed his work
within an hour.-London Times.

Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the minis

I street, South Omaha, Neb, tells how
her daughter has been enabled to resume
her professional work as teacher after
suffering for -nearly'three years from Sc
we're nervous prostitution
when she was passing from girl
hood toawomanhood," says Mrs. Lane,
"she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help,her, bat a few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system :. -.
"While she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as a student and then
as teacher In large Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the strain
finally told on her. She became pale,
weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had
no. appetite and she suffered from Sc
we're headaches. Then came a complete
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
In this emergency we again trietfDr.
Williams Pink Pills. Improvements
came a. first slowly and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed, that whenever she stepped
taking the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and so we keptup the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take position in one Of our
universities where she is happily at
work My mother; my daughter and
myself have well-founded confidence
in the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are always ready to recommend
them" e:t
This is simply one moro proof that
these pills seek disease at its source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
a common origin in impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system in a
healthy condition, because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part. They arrest physical decay when
it seems inevitable and find a road to
restoration when the doctor misses it
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.
