The Indian is passing out of the

he is still as much in evidence in
Oklahoma as the negro is in a number
of northern states. Records believed
to be ultra-conservative show that the

900 Indians. Only about 10000 of
these, however, are more than three

CURE FOR SEA SICKNESS.

Old Sailor Prescribes . Locking
GIass-Keep Your Eye on 1t.
A new remedy has been discovered
for seasickness, according to the Lon
don Express. An old sailor has proved
that a pocket looking glass is an In
fallible cure.
The looking glass cure must be. taken
Immediately the sufferer steps on board
ship. The prescription directs the pa
tient, when the first Undesirable feeling
comes on, to take out the pocket look
ing glass and look himself fair and
square in the eyes.
The result is alleged to be that the
rolling of the ship, and even the smell
Of the engines, will pass unnoticed, and
a little perseverance will transform a
bad sailor into a good one.
An Express representative consulted
a west end physician yesterday on the
new cure.
cit is a very curious fact, and one
for which it is difficult to account"
said he, "that a casual glance in q
1t may be that the woe-begone counte-
nance is responsible for introducing a
vein of humor, and the sufferer re-
solves to cheer up
Personally, 1 think there is a more
scientific reason. 1t is we'll known
among sailors that the rise and fall of
the horizon is responsible for the early
stages of this distressing malady. Ply
sicians In consequence often recon-
mend their patients to try to fix their
eyes on some immovable object, such as
a ring on their finger, or a book held
firmly on the knee. The looking glass
Is probably the same kind of antidote
to the movement of the ship.
at would be necessary, of course, to
hold the glass firmly and fix the gaze
steadily on the reflected image.
"The looking-glass remedy may be
something in the nature of faith cure
If the attention can be absolutely con-
centrated on the image in the glass and
all thought of illness banished, there
is an excellent chance that the voyage
will have no bad effects.
with regard to the length of time
required for the cure, it is a general
fact that If sickness can be successfully
warded off for several hours the symp-
toms are not likely to recur, except Ia
cases where no remedy will relieve the
unfortunate sufferer and sea and brain
sickness are interchangeable terms"
