Indian BuriaIs.

The Indian method of burial was to fasten a corpse upon Foss sticks sup ported by poles in the ground or in the boughs of the treetops. Here the air and the clements silently disposed of the lifeless clay until in year or so but little remained to bear evidence of a tomb. perhaps some broken sticks in the top and few scattered beads or human bones beneath the burial place. I cannot conceive of anything more pitifully grewsome than an h. dian burial ground of this type. I have seen them in the fall of the year, when the winds were shaking and swaying the platforms and wiring ing the leafiess trees, Haunting the burial rags like signals of distress from the dead and whistling through and over the whitening bones and neglect ed remains of those who had many time withstood the tempest and storm when the breath of life stirred within them.-Army and Navy Life.

A Queer Couch Mixture.

Mrs. Delaney, so well known as an eighteenth century parsonage, had q strange prescription for cough mix lure. Writing to a friend in January. 1T5S. she says: Docs Mary cough in the night? Two or three snails boiled fin her barley water or tea water of whatever she drinks might be of great service to her. Taken in time they have done wonderful cures. She must know nothing of it. They give nc manner of taste. It would be best nobody should know 1t but yourself. and should imagine six or eight boil ed in a quart of water and strained od and put in a bottle would be good way. adding a spoonful or two of thai to every liquid she takes. They must be fresh done every two or three days otherwise they grow too thick" A strange remedy. and one wonders whether Mary" took it and benefited by 1t.

GLASS ANNOUNCED DEATH.
Three Times It Cracked, and Each
 Time a Child Died.

Hospital attendants are not super stitious. This may be because they see death in its multiple forms, and therefore become calloused and skep- tical. An incident at the City hos be a subject for conjecture and dis cussion.
 On the desk in the receiving ward water glass, stainless and very heavy. is kept for the use of the employees. To guard against its breakage it is placed in a corner of the desk where nothing can strike it.
 Yesterday afternoon, when there were no patients in the ward, a sud- den click was heard. Archie Miller, an attendant, looked at the glass and noticed a crack about half an inch long in it, which had not been there before. Scarcely 10 minutes elapsed when the telegraph instru- ment announced the death of Louisa Young in the children's ward.
 The coincidence might have been forgotten had not 20 minutes later the same click been heard on the desk, when Miller again looked at the glass and noticed second crack trifle longer than the first. Again there was a short interval of silence, when the ticker spoke once more. telling of the death of Edith Will Hams. also in the children's ward. By this time the strange warming became a subject of comment in the ward.
 A third time, however, the omen was repeated. the glass sprung an- other crack, and shortly after the death of Joseph Manning. who lived at No 424 West Third street, was announced. Gee willikins." shout ed Miller. turning pale. Say, To 1 like to go across the street" And he did.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Pelican.

The pelican is not an attractive bird. He offends both the eye and the nose. But he is commendably regular in his habits. The parent birds catch fish and after eating their fill deposit the others fin their pouches under their bills and carry them to their young. These pouches will hold from three to eight pounds of fish. They are elastic and when dlstended to their utmost nearly touch the ground. When empty. the pouch lies close up under the big bill and is merely a mass of wrinkles. It is this pouch that gives the pelican his characteristic and disagreeable odor. caused by particles of decaying fish. The pelican's legs are short and strong. and its feet have large webs. It is not a fast swimmer or a rapid fiier. but 1t is practically tireless in both air and water. On land 1t is awkward and un- wieldy.

ONE MISTAKE NOT FATAL.
Young Man Who Lived Down His
 Past Became Valuable Citizen.

Now, I hold that society often errs in not giving a man who mas committed even a serious offense against its laws a chance to redeem himself" said Captain B. B. Ferry of San Francisco.
 ''I was in business down in Mex ico some years ago and needed an expert bookkeeper and manager. Several applicants offered, but l was especially attracted to one, splen- did looking young fellow of 30, who was absolute master of his profes- sion. He had face and manner that inspired confidence, and en- gagged him at once. Within an hour he sought private audience.

My name isn't Brown, but Robinson. Years ago, when hardly of age, was instigated by an older man to use some money that did not belong to me. This was in little town in Indiana. My family paid, and I migrated to Mexico. l have been here five years, and there is no man who can truthfully say I've ever done a wrongful deed.

 He said this in the most simple and natural way, and looking him full in the face I made up my mind that here was man who was on the level, and who had. indeed, re- formed his life. I told him he could stay with me, and that I be- lieved him to be an honest man. He remained with me till closed out my business in Mexico. a period of 10 years, and every year put up his salary till at the close it was $10,000. l trusted him with as much as $5O0,000 at a time. and he never was short penny in his accounts.

HOW EXPERIMENT WORKED.

One of the great advantages of the direct primary law is that its opera tion causes voters long in advance of an election to obtain fair amount Of knowledge of the party candidates. There is nothing cut and dried about direct primaries. The appeal of the men who seek nominations is to the party voters themselves. Conse- quently the voters on entering the campaign in which candidates of diff ferent parties are pitted against one another have much advance informa- ton to guide them. They know not only something of the personality Of each conspicuous candidate, but they know what influence led to his nomi- nation-what he stands for, in short.
 The voter has little opportunity to get so clear a view of a candidate af- ter an entire party putsitself at his back and makes support of him test of loyalty to party traditions and party principles. Then the voter merely sees that all republicans or all democrats are expected to support this or that candidate because he Is the party nominee. The question of fitness is smothered under the de- mand for party success. As a con scientious citizen he may strive to learn whether or not candidate is fit, but he is likely to be confused by the clamor of friends and foes.
 The Daily News believes that not will the direct primary law properly enforced secure for the people good party candidates, but that 1t will in- crease materially the amount of intel ligent and independent voting at elections of public officials. The de- fects in the law have been shown by it's first trial and those defects must be remed!ed by amendments. It was used fast Saturday under peculiarly difficult conditions. The bitter fight against Governor Deneen and State Attorney Healy produced state of mind among interruptions persons that resulted in full advantage being taken of the laws imperfections. Yet in spite of all this it has given fair service and with a littls judicious strengthening it will be of great per manent value.-Chicago News.
