of the Iroquois confederacy met in 1872

Taken captive when a girl during the

life among the Indians. She was
buried on the site of the city of Buff

with determination in 1874 by the

had the body removed to his estate

Faith in the Doctor.

"The most remarkable instance of
simple faith in the abilities of physi-
cian," says a Baltimore doctor, came
within my experience when l was a
student in Philadelphia. l had a pa
tient, an Irishman, who had broken
leg. When the plaster bandage was
removed and lighter one substituted,
I observed that one of the pins went
in with some difficulty, a fact l could
not understand at the time. 1t was a
week afterward that l removed the
pin, when l found that it had been
stuck hard and fast, it being neces-
sary to remove it with forceps To
my great establishment, on examina-
ton, found that the pin had actually
been run through the skin twice, in
stead of through the bandage CLOTH
Didn't you known that that pin was
sticking in your I demanded of the
patient 'Sure!' he exclaimed. But as
l thought We knew your business
held me tongue."-Sunday Magazine.

Fisherman's strange Haul.

The man who landed a strangely
queer looking member of the fnny
tribe thought he had caught sea SER
pent. He was fishing in Puget sound
and expected nothing quite so remark
able as this creature, which has some
thing the appearance of a sea horse
long drawn out.
When the fish was finally landed,
after a severe struggle, in which the
fisherman came near going to the bot
tom of the sound, it was swung up to
an arm of a post and snapshot
taken. The length of the fish is not
definitely known, for who ever gets
the truth about fine catch like this?
But it is long enough to satisfy the
cravings of the most aspiring devotee
of rod and reel. 1t is considerably
more than the height of an average
man.
