Iadians' Time Table.

Certain OF the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar of their an
cestors. says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Indian method was to. compute
time by sleeps ana moons. A sleep
is twenty-four hours, and moon ls a
month There IS also a midmoon,
where the sun is at 70 o'clock meridian
This hour is indicated by pointing
overhead
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant . O'Clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
3 O'Clock Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there WAS a moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Where an Indian added the
distance TO a certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps or days travel, A sleep as de-
scribing distance, was about thirty.dve
miles when walking deliberately or
from fifty To seventy-fve miles if GO

rodents caused by a short dumb bell

forms-the pneumonia which has Il
death rate of almost 100 per cent: the

and the bubonic in which even with

the mortality is about 20 per cent The
