of dust in their rickety Old wa ons
and carriages. Horseback, burro back
and on foot. they pass by in large ana

usually rather dilapidated affairs, pur-
chased from the rubbish heap or some
rancher or secondhand dealer ana

tribesman. the owner of 4 little place

and the squaws and children comfort
ably. though very gnudily, dressed.
Old carriages which have evidently
seen better days are met with, the heau
of the family occupying tho box ana
the women and children piled together
with household effects, feed for the
team and Il few dogs. Frequently one
sees a family of two. the squaW, mount

is.
They are care free, light hearted peo-
ple and this journeyinS at harvest time
is a holiday excursion to them. Horse
races. peon games and other pleasures
deal. to the Indians heart are to be
enjoyed between spells of hard but
wealth-yielding work when the dest1-
nation is reached and camp pitched.
Old a~cuuaintances among those from
other reservations will be renewed, and
an old feud or w settled perhaps.
On the road from the reservation to
the valley are many Indian hotels
with excellent accommodations for man
and beast. To h white man these es-
Establishments would seem mean, but to
the Indian they are the most ideal Of
hostelries. They consist Of a spring
of water, some shady trees, a little dry
frewood and some grass in which to
stake the ponies. Once in camp at the
ranch upon which he has been engaged
to work, the same old round of picking,
turning, sorting, stacking and the rest
of the various stages Of raisin making
will be gone through with, and the pay
resulting therefrom spent on provisions
for the family and lost in betting on
the races or at the fascinating game Of
neon.

The breath of a healthy person has
no odor. This is equivalent to saying
that no one whose breath has habitual-
ly a disagreeable odor is in absolute
health. Somewhere there is trouble,
the presence of which, although not al
ways the location of it, is betrayed by
the expired air.
A person with bad breath is not al
ways aware of his misfortune, or per-
haps one should say the misfortune Of
his friends, and it is a kindness n a
duty on the part of his family to tell
him. he trouble can almost always
be bettered. if not entirely removed,
and it is the duty of one so afflicted
to place himself in the physicians
hands for are.
The cause of a bad breath is often
evident, but sometimes a very careful
examination, weighing and rejecting
one by one the different possibilities,
is necessary before the sea- Of the trou-
BILE can be determined. Local troubles
must be looked for and corrected. Ca
tarrh Of the nasal passages, or Of one
or more of the cavities in the n
of the face communicating with the
nose, may cause a very foul breath;
his can be relieved in many cases by
shutting some antiseptic 1uid-well d.
luted, for the nasal mucous membrane
is sensitive-through each nostril sew
eral times "a day. The nasal douche, SD
often recommended, should be used only
Under the direction Of / physician.
The mouth is often the place of orr
gin Of the odor. Decayed teeth, or
the decomposition of food particles al
lowed to remain between the teeth, or
receding gums with suppuration round
the edges of the teeth, may n or all
affect the breath unpleasantly. The
regular use Of the toothbrush with an
antiseptic mouth wash will usually
remedy this. There may be an accumu-
lation Of fur" at the back of the mouth,
which gives an odor to the breath;
this should be removed with a spoon or
the ring in one of the handles Of a pair
of scissors. The tonsils may have NAL
odorous accumulations of secretion in
their pits.
Trouble in any part of the digestive
tract IS very likely W ueCldle llSell III
the breath. Constipation, especially, is
so betrayed. 1t is well known that
some foods, onions, for example, will
scent the breath, but it is not SO gener-
ally appreciated that the eating of a
large amount of meat will often give a
regularly disagreeable quality to the
b eath. The emotions may have their
effect, too, and the il~l-tempered person
or the worrier is thus an offeuse in
more ways han one.
There is seldom any excuse for per-
manent bad breath. for the physician
can almost always discover the cause.

Death of Noted Musician.

Angelo TeSSarin, an muSl-
clan of Venice, died forgotten and poor
at Marseilles 4 few days ago, aged %,
the New York Sun says. He was one
of the best known II most popular
musicians in Venice fifty years ago. He
was celebrated as a pianist and com
poser. Still he lived and died in pow
erty, and his creditors were so M
u and exacting hat in his old age,
when he was convinced that he could
never pay them, he left Venice and
spent his last days abroad.
Tessarin was greatly attached to his
native city and strove hard to end his
DAYS there. He invariably carried an
umbrella. which served to keep his
creditors at bay in fact, whenever he
met one Of them he opened it and hid
his face and thus passed on unrecos-
nized.

waiter died Tessarin left Venice and
was forgotten until his death. His
dying request was that a tablet should
be placed on his grave with the words,

CHICAGO,

In the sustained high volume of pay
ments through the banks and improve
ment in credits the business conditions
are encouraging. High prices for bread
stuffs and labor disputes are temper
airy ~crOSS-currentS. and leading retail
lines require more S~eaSonable weather
for an ample reduction of merchandise,
but manufacturing makes some prog
ress. freight transportation increases
and agriculture has started with an eX-
cellent outlook.
Metal II woodworking gather
strength from the wider demands for
supplies, and iron producers have less
difficulty in negotiating contracts for
future deliveries. although no specially
large individual tonnages appear in the
bookings.
increasing inquiries impart a better
tone to railway equipment, forge and
foundry operations. Rail mills in this
district have accumulated much for
ward work, while the orders have more
breadth for plates. pipe and merchant
shapes.
Some gain is noted in new demands
for furniture. including export orders
and the outputs extend in ~boXmaking
and planning mill materials
Earnings Of the Chicago steam
roads exhibit further gains while
freight offerings increase in heavy ma
terials factory products grain and gen
eral merchandise.

vance in spring work. more acreage be-

Weather, crop and industrial reports
are still very irregular, rendering gen
eral characterization difficult. Taken
ly larger business doing, this being par
ticularly true of retail trade in sec
tons where weather permits and in
bookings for fall and winter delivery
at wholesale.
In portions of the South and in the
East generally there is more confident
purchasing, higher prices for cotton
aiding in the former instance. while
the advance of the season helps trade
along the Atlantic seaboard. Business
on the Pacific coast has expanded
slightly, particularly in California. In
the central West trade at retail is eX-
banding slowly and a rather better
business is reported with country mer-
chants, but jobbing activity is not as
pronounced as it was some weeks ago,
Industry is in a rather spotted con-
dition. There is more doing in iron
and steel, but largely, it is claimed, at
the expense of prices. The improve
mentn noted in the cotton goods industry
is maintained. Prices Of staple goods
are firm. There is more doing in silk
manufacturing. Wonen'S wear WOODEN

NEW TYPE OF BUNGALOW.
Concrete Structure mt PartlWnd, NO.
Which IL Well Spoken OF.

SaH ~ sp
Which Is Wen Spoken OF.
Cement Age describes a conccete
bungalow at Portland, Me-, in Which
the exterior of the house is of con-
crete panels. The concrete panels are
but one inch in thickness, and besides
being remarkably light, are strong
enough to zeal an immense weight. The
panels are REINFORCED with strips Of
steel wire, and in the tests applied to
them they withstood the strain of three
heavy men jumping up and down upon
them and showed no sign of injury.
They are ornamented on the outside
with raised figures. scroll work, etc,
from steel ceiling designs. The panels
were modelled in wooden ralneS on Il
base consisting of Il strip of steel cell
ing. by means of which the decorative
design was transferred to the cement,
giving the panels an attractive appear
ance. The wooden frames were made
of threc-incl stuff and the exterior OF
the concrete panel comes flush with
the wood, while the recess in he side
which forms the interior affords W.
inches of air space over the entire
length and width of the pauel,"the &C.
ment concrete being one inch thick.
This is accomplished by filling the
forms partially with sAwdust or other
material before the cement concrete is
poured in, hen turning the form over
so that the concrete can be pressed
against the steel ceiling design of the
mold. After sufficient water has been
poured upon the composition to insure
compactneSs and perfect settling in the
mold, the sawdust filling is removed,
the interior smoothed off nicely and
the completed panel is left to dry and
harden.
