Some OF these medicinal roots have,
since DR.. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true Of

NEW PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT.
Proposal to Control Burial Place of Vic
tins of French and Indian War.

A movement is on foot to form an
international society TO purchase CHM
ney island and obtain practically per-
petual lease of Drummond and Spencer
islands nearby, all being on the Canadian
side of the st. Lawrence river near Og-
densburg, N. Y. Here many Americans
fell and were buried during the French
and Indian war, and their graves were
unmarked. In August, 1850, men from
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, and New York under Gen. Jeffrey
Amherst fought the French under Col
onel Pouchot for eight days on and in
the vicinity of these islands, the con-
flict being known as the battle of Fort
Lewis.
Il is claimed that in this campaign
Samuel Robinson and other sturdy fam
Gus soldiers received training that en-
abled them afterward to make gallant
and successful struggle for the independ-
ence of Vermont

owned by the st. Regis Indians and a
lease must be endorsed by the Canadian
superintendent OF Indian affairs.

All observing people must have
noticed a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of using only put-up
foods and medicines of known COM
position. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the com
position of that which he is expected
TO swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine. This sentiment has re-
suited in the introduction in the legis-
latures OF many OF the States, as also
in the Congress OF the United States,
bills providing for the publication Of
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods put
up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
can only add to the well-earned repu-
tation OF his proprietary medicines,
DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ",
has vtaken time by the forelock, = as it
were, and is publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, a full and COM
plete list OF all the ingredients entering
into his medicines, uGolden Medical

ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and

Prescription for weak, over worked,

This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part OF DR.. Pierce, has, by
showing exactly what his weli-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore unjustly attacked them. A.
little pamphlet has been compiled,
from the standard medical authorities
OF all the several schools of practice,
showing the strongest endorsements by
leading medical writer's Of the several
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which DIR. Pierce's medi-
cines are advised. A copy OF this little
booklet is mailed free to any one desiring
to learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants, which enter
into the composition of DIR. Pierce's
or letter, addressed to DR.. X. ". Pierce,

booklet by return post. II tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the maxi

DANCE OF THE PUEBLos,
Exciting Ceremonial Of the Arizona
Indians That Is Very
Popular.


The Fleeka. or arrow dance, as prac.
ticed by the Pueblo Indians in Arizona.
is very picturesque. One of the braves
is led up in front of his friends, who
are drawn up in two ranks. Here he
is placed on one knee, bow and arrow
In his hand, when the malinchi. a hand
somely attired young girl. commences
the dance. From her right wrist hangs
the skin of a silver-gray fox, and bells
that ;angle with every motion are fas-
tened to the end of her embroidered
scarf.
At first the maiden dances along the
line in front, by her movements describ-
ing the warpath. Slowly. steadily, she
pursues; then suddenly her step quick
ems, and she comes in sight of her en-.
envy The brave follows her with his
eye, and by the motion of his head i'm
plies that she is right. She dances
faster and faster, then suddenly seizes
the arrow from him. and by frantic
gestures makes it plain that the fight
has begun in earnest. She points with
the arrow. shows how it wings it's
course. how the scalp was taken and her
tribe victorious. AS she concludes her
dance she returns the arrow to the
brave. Firearms are discharged, and
the whole party wends it's way to the
public square to make room for the
other parties, who keep up the dance
until dark.

WRITING OF BEN HuR."
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Story Recalled by Death Of
It's Author.

The death of Gen. Lew" Wallace calls
renewed attention to the many interest
ing facts connected with his writing of
ben Hur." the novel which published
in 1880, is still selling in as great num-
bers Is years after its publication as in
the year following its first appearance.
The book has never been issued in q
cheaper edition than the one in which
1t was first published, while, on the other
hand, IA luxurious editions of it have
been brought out. TRANSACTIONS have
been made in language after language
1t seems most remarkable that when
Gen. Wallace wrote the book he had
never been to the Holy Land, but worked
out the minute topography of the coun-
try as it is presented in the story entire
ly from maps and reading. The author
once said to his publisher that when
eventually he did visit Palestine he was
himself surprised at the absolute ac-
curacy Of Ills descriptions, which Tailed
exactly with the actual conditions. and
he was fond Of telling how he found the
very stone which he had imagined as a
resting place for Ben Hur at q certain
point in the story. The book was writ
ten in all sorts Of strange places-on
boats, railroads., in carriages, wherever
the author fe'lnd opportunity, afterward
