Friends I'm Misfortune.

From HE 81. Louis democrat.
A blind man was making his way out Wash
ington avenue, using his cane as Il guide for
his feet. Across his chest was a placard
bearing the legend. Il am blind, " and sls-
pended by a chain around his neck was a small
tin cup, a convenient receptacle for charity
coins.
1t was broad daylight. and he knew that
stretch of walk so we'll that he felt very little
fear of accident. He was about the middle
OF the block, so he did not have TO look out
for the step down from the pavement to the
cross street. There are never many pc
destrians out that far Oh Washington avenue,
and no one is going 10 run ruthl"sSly into a
blind man.
He was striding bravely along when. to
his utter establishment. he cOllidcd with a
rapidly moving object. The object was q
man, who grew very angry, tor the impact
had dislodged his hat. Ii had also served
to hurl the blind man backward, so that he
must have fallen had il not been for the man
who sprang 10 the rescue, and who tells the
story.
Haven't you got any sense?" the enraged
man cried. Now, you'd better pick up my
hat, you awkward lubberl"
Il can't" the disconnected fellow replied.
II think it was your own fault. You ought to

upon the other blind mans neck and said, in

BY this time the witness to the little tragedy
had picked UP the battered hat, dropped @

but grateful for the priceless gift OF sight.

OLIVE LOGAN,S PICTURE,
\ Chicago Police Magistrate Kept II on
the Wall as an Object Lesson.

A pastel portrait Of Olive Logan when sbe
was considered the best gowned woman
on the lecture platform once hung on n
wall OF the West Side police court in Chicago.
A few days ago when the papers published
something about the evil days in which
Olive Logan found herself, an ex-Chicaeoa
mentioned the circumstance.
Il was a young lawyer in Chicago at tho
time he said, and was what they called
then a police court barrister. The Mapia-
trate was known all over the CITY as Dan
Scully.
He was a fine Irish character, His
police court was an interesting study. Ha
was a kind hearted man, and unless II vas
an aggravated case he always leaned to
the side of mercy.
The picture of Olive Logan seemed ont
OF place IN this court room, which was dingy
and ~forbidding. Soon after | began nv
practice l learned why the picture was
there. va"
a woman in rags was before his Honor
He talked to her in a fatherly way. Then
he pointed to the picture on the wall and
asked the woman at the bar il she would
not like to be like the subject of the pictur
He told her it was possible for every woman
to be as good as that woman in the picture,
as he put it, and then he told the prisoner
to 10 and try.
After court was over | asked Scullv
why he had such a handsome picture in his
court room. He told me he had once heard
Olive Logan lecture, and that he thought
she was the handsomest woman he had
ever seen, and that she was the best dressed
woman of her time. | think he told me she
presented him with the picture.
He did not at tiTst intend TO hang the
picture where | saw il, but the day he
received it he showed il to friends who
were in court. He had it on his desk when
the first case wa called.
"The prisoner was q woman who had
seen better days. When she was arraigned
she saw the picture and told the Magistrate
she knew the subject. She promised if
he would give her a chance she would re-
form.
"Scully told me that he knew she did
reform and that she became a good wife
and mother, and she told him the picture
on his desk was what prompted her to go
back 70 a better life.
~Scully Thought then that the picture
might be the means of touching other women
viho might be before him, and he placed
it on the wall for that purpose. ] practised
in the old West Side police court for nearly
a year and a half, and in that time ] heard
Scully call the attention of several women
arraigned in his court to the picture.
when Scully retired he took the picture
to his library, and it remained there as long
as he lived. 1t is the only instance In my
observation where a picture was used in a
court room to bring about reformation

10. THE CLEAN INDIAN!
His shampOe-His Turkish Bath--iiis 1n'
aldernanic Figure.

The vanity of white men gets some hard
rams from George Wharton James in Good
Health. 1t is somewhat surprising 20 have
the Indian held up as a pattern OF clean
illness, but that is what Mr.. James does.
Most city men, he says, regard the sham
moo as a modern luxury, Yet 1t Is more
common with some indiana than with us,
THE Indians wife macerates the root oil
the amole and beats it up and down IN a
howl of water till a soft lather comes
Then her husband stoops over the bowl and
she shampoos his long hair with vigor,
neathess, skill and despatch.
Another so-called luxury OF our civil
yation is an everyday matter with the In
dianso OF the Southwest. That is the Russo
Turkish bath. The first time l enjoyed
this luxury with the Indians was on one of
my visits to the Havasupai tribe.
aThe bathhouse consisted OF n small
willow frame some six or eight feet in
diameter, which, at the time OF using, is
covered over with Navajo blankets, &c,
TO make it heat and steam proof. A bed OF
clean willows was spread out for the
sweaters to sit upon and a place left vacant
for the red hot rocks.
AS soon as all was prepared | was i'll
yited to take my seat; one Indian followed
on one side and the medicine man on the
other. Then one Of the outer Indicns
handed in six or eight red hot rocks and the
fan OF the cover WAS let down and the bath
was fairly on. Directly the shaman began
TO sing a sacred song which recited the fact
that Toholwoh was a gift Of the good god
Tochopa and was FOR the purpose of purify
ing the body Of all evil.
SPY the time the song ended We were
sweating freely; but when the flap was
opened it was 10 receive more hot rocks.
Ar we sang a second song the heat grew
more and more penetrating.
by this time sweat was pouring from
Dur bodies, but the flap was opened only 10
-eceive more rocks. AT the third time a
oowl Of water was handed in TO my COM
panion, which ! was reaching for in order
10 enjoy q drink, when, TO my horror and
surprise, he %sprinkled the water over the
red hot rocks. The result was IN instan-
taneons cloud OF steam which seemed to
choke me.
yet the two Indians began another song,
30 / determined To stick II out. In a few
moments the intense heat of the steam
was lost and ! was able to join in the song,
The steaming was repeated; then [ sprang
out and Owed into, the cool-not cold
water of the Havasu, where | swan about
for a long time.
Then, after a rub down with clean, clear,
clayey mud aud another plunge, i lay in

This particular judge once had a

to see that the witnesses were always

clerk was calling the names of the
witnesses in this case he came to the
name of James Brown, which no one
in the room claimed to possess. Know

could not understand his absence.

DRINKING OF TEA.
Charge That Europeans Do Not

Charge That Europeans Do Not
Know How to Use the Herb.
A writer in the London Times recent
~ considered the subject Of tea drink
ing in England and noted, to begin
with, that coffee was brought to West
ern Europe by Turks, who established
coffee rooms and roasted and grOunI
the berries, serving the beverage as it
is served to-day in the East, grits and
all, says the Springfield Republican.
Thence it came about that coffee was
from the first drunk as in it's original
country, and is SO drunk now, only
that the grounds, or grits, as the Eng
lish call them, are not allowed with
the liquor, and, in point Of fact, it is
essential that the coffee be settled" if
not strained, and the latter way is uni
versal in England. 1t is not so in
France, however, where the coffee bean
is ground to a powder and makes a
muddy decoction eastern fashion), in
stead of q clear-brown infusion. This
also is a mode in America, as we all
know; and although there are regions
where Goldfish skin and eggshells are
used to settle the coffee, more an
tique," for the most part the strainer
or the thin cloth bag is in use to keep
out the grounds. At first we got our
coffee from the East, home of the cof-
fee bean; we actually once had Java

these names are attached to the morn
ing beverage, and yet it is many
long year since the American has
known the taste Of the Asiatic bean ::
1t would not pay to import it, even if
that could be done-and 1t cannot be
done, for scarcely a pound of it ever
gets beyond Europe. Even in America
the southern half Of our hemisphere
furnishes our supply.
But all this is leading astray from
the London Times article, which sim
ply starts with the introduction of cof-
fee by Turks, for the purpose of con
trasting the introduction of tea. which
was not done by the Chinese. No Chi
naman was imported to tell English
people how it should be used. Conse-
Quently, says the writer, 1--WE have
never drunk tea in the Chinese way

was not that the way in which Dr..
Johnson drank his seventeen cups at a
sitting, in Mrs. Thrale's coy tearoom?

drink from such dainty little cups? And
surely only an infusion. But it is true
that many curious experiments were
made in England with the new herb.
some of which are mentioned by the
