Traits Of Bird Lovers.

Years agO, during winters visit
in London, used to watch the per-
sons who regularly fed the birds in
Hyde park. noticed that most of
them were people Of apparently hum
BILE circumstances, few pretty close
to underfeeding themselves. 1t was
delightful to see how much pleasure
they all took In keeping these birds
from hunger.
Two that I saw each day for n
week or SO, evidently husband and
wife, ventured to speak to. Eagerly
they talked about the birds as they
might have talked about children.
noting and relishing individual char
acteristics.
eve have become so fond Of them" )"
said the wife. "They recognize us
now, many of them, and few come
to us quite fearlessly. We should
feel quite uncomfortable II we should
miss n day. They are like members
of the family that have to be cared
for."-Exchange.

VALUE OF MUSICAL TRAINING
Sound Reasons Why Physicians Should
Have Thorough knowledge Of
Sound and Of Rhythm.

The great value of musical training
to the practicing physician is pointed
out by DIR. Ernest Zueblin, associate
professor OF medicine in the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati, in an article con-
tributed to American Medicine. APP
probation Of the pitch, intensity and
duration Of sounds, and Of rhythm.
which must be acquired by the musi-
clan in the study of his art, are also
necessary to the doctor, who is obliged
to take note Of these same sound quail
tiles in making many Of his diagnoses.
The objective signs Of disease. DIR.
Zueblin points ont, are closely related
to acoustic phenomena, such ms con-
ductivity. quality, tonalIty, pitch, in
tensity, duration and rhythm. The
cOnductivity Of sound, for instance, is
quite different in a normal lung from
one where there is fluid between the
lung and the chest wall. The quality
and tonality Of sounds produced within
the lungs or heart or transmitted
through the abdominal vlscera. are
essential for the diagnOstlcian. The
better the musical training, the sharper
the personal perception Of the student,
the more he will excel his competitors.

RED MANS GOOD QUALITIES
A. 4 Race, and individually, tho
American Indian Has Proved
Capable Of Many Things.

1t Is very worth while to give tho
Indian square deal. He has proved
himself capable of great things. Two
presidents of Peru have been Indians.
One of Mexico's greatest presidents
was an Indian, and Bolivia has had
mt least one great Indian president.
One expects them to excel In warfare.
The Araucanian Lantare was the great.
est military chieftnin South America
has produced except San Martin. and
we have had Gen. John A. Logan and
Gen. Ell s. Parker. Numbers of our
senators and congressman have been
proud of their Indian blood. and
Thomas G. MOffett, who knows the red
man well, says that ''in the profession
al world today. on farms among
leaders in business affairs. tho
Indian, educated and Christianized. is
taking his place; clever Indian law
yers are looking out for the interests
of their tribes; capable Indian physi-
clans are mlnistering to the needs Of
their own people; earnest Indian
preachers and teachers are spreading
among the reservations the seed Of
the gospel message; aggressive Indian
agricultural experts are teaching the
younger generation how to improve
land and crops; the new Indian is
helping the forward movement activ-
tiles Of his country"
The white mans diseases ana
vices have burdened the Indian, but
his schools. medicine. Christian NOR
ais and faith can, If he so Wills 1t, lift
that burden and make his red brother
once again free man.-Evengeline

Cherokee Once Powerful.

The CherOkees are an important
tribe Of North Anne, lcan Indians. The
name means upland field. the tribe be-
ing peculiarly upland. They may have
so designated themselves to their first
European visitors. They are probably
the people known traditionally to the
Delawares as Talligewi. powerful
body which once occupied the val
leys Of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers.
and afterward was driven south by
the Delawares and IroquOis. When
first known to Europeans their center
was In the southern Alleghenies, and
they occupied the mountains Of south
ern Virginia. North and South Caro-
'lina. Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see. Their chief settlements were on
the head waters of the Savannah and
Tennessee rivers, and were respec-
lively called Elati Tsalaki, or Lower
Cherokee, and Atan Tsalaki. or Up
per Cherokee, speaking two different
dialects. AS the white settlers pressed
upon them they retreated westward
until by the treaty Of 1895, they sold
all their remaining country, and the
main body removed to a tract assigned
to them west of the Mississippi. A
considerable number remained be-
hind, and gradually concentrating in
western North Carolina, are now
known as the eastern band of Chero-
KEGS, numbering about 1000.

sUCcUMB TO ARCTIC TENSION
Few Explorers In High Latitudes Sue
eessfully Resist Peculiar Psychic
logical Effects.

In a paper dealing with the Univer-
slty Of Oxford expedition to Siberia, of
which he was member. II. U. Hall Of
the University Of Pennsylvania refer
red to the striking psychological ef-
fects of long daylight and long dark
ness in high Iatitudes, the Scientific
American states.
AS to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours in
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day. there seems to be
kind Of stimulation Of the nervous
system. urging people to a feverish
and purposeless activity. This is
especially noticed in newcomers. but
the natives are not exempt from 1t.
On the other hand, the coming Of the
long winter night is followed by a kind
Of reaction. though no general depres-
sion Of vitality Is apparent.
With the cessation of work the
period Of sociability begins. and the
circumstances favor lapse of self
control. This is the time when "Arctic
hysteria" is likely to show itself. Such,
for instance. is form Of hysterical
