by which his settled income is large

Of the world. II Is thought proba=

Tribe Gradually DYING.

Samoyeds, a race of Mongolians fn-
habiting the shores of the Arctic
ocean, maintain themselves by hunt
ing and fishing. They make use of
the same implements In bone and
stone, besides cherishing the same
superstitions, as were current In the
stone age among the inhabitants OF
western Europe. They clothe them
selves In reindeer skins. In fine
weather they wear the hair outside,
and when 1t is wet the tunic is re.
versed. This interesting race is grad
ually dying out, owing partly to the
scourse of smallpox which makes raw
ages among them, and also to their
fondness for raw spirits, which leads
them to degradation and misery, as
the Russian merchants take advantage
of this to cheat them when bartering
for valuable skins and walrus teeth.
In fact, to such an extent do these
traders dupe them that the Samoyeds
sometimes are reduced to state of
famine and have recourse to cannibal-
ism. This seems to account for the
name Samoyed. which was given them
by the Russians, and which signifies
in their language self-eating. Every
year in mid-Lent these queer-looking
people travel down in their reindeer
sledges from Archangel to st. Peters
burg and take up their abode tempo
rarily on the frozen river Neva, where
they build themselves circular huts
composed Of framework of poles.
over which are stretched reindeer
skins. Here they traffic for the prod.
ucts of civilization.

isow They Buy Votes il England.

| Some years ago an investigation Of
eaeetiea bribery in England disclosed
the following method of buying votes:
An elector entered the agents room.
Agent (holding up three fingers, to
signify three sovereigns): "Well, Mr..
Smith, how are you to-day 2" Mr..
Smith: " am not very we'll to-day"
Agent (hoiuing up five fingers): II
am sorry you are not very well to-
day Mr. Smith: "Oh, am not very
iii. 1t is all right" Then Smith look
ed out Of the window while the agent
put five sovereigns on the table. It was
then the agents turn to look out of
tho window, and when he turned
Fouad again Smith and the money had
disappeared. Smith never saw the
agent put down the money, the agent
never saw Smith pick it up. Conse-
quentiy when q parliamentary COM
mission was appointed the agent
swore he never gave Smith any money
and Smith swore that no one gave
him any. -

Its Enthusiastic Reception by the
Early Miners.

Early Miners.
On the seventeenth Of May. 1853,
Denver turned out to welcome the
first through coach Of what was des-
tined to grow into the Overland
Mall" an enterprise which, for sheer
American pluck and daring, must be
forever linked with the fame Of the
Pony Express"
Red shirts drifted to the outskirts
of the hamlet and dotted the hills
around. Hard faced bartenders made
ready for the hottest night that ever
tore the camp loose" The artillery
of holster and saddle-boot was un-
limbered for an ecstatic fusillade.
There was lively betting in dust and
nuggets that the first through stage
had been gathered In by Indians,
with takers as eager to stake their
faith that the scalps of driver and
guard would come through intact.
At length swirl of dust showed
far down the trail. 1t grew into
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet. Then six mules,
stretched out ON the gallop, emerged
from this curtain and behind them
was the numbering, swaying stage,
come safely through, on time, and
Denver was in touch with the world
where men wore white shirts and
lived in real houses. The cheers that
roared a welcome to this heroic en-
terprise were echoed in every West
ern town which hoped and longed
for link Of its own with the home
country, way back East"

account of too much alcohol, too
much tobacco, constipation, eyestrain,

Professor Irving Fisher, in COM
menting upon the results OF this eX-
animation said:
sT believe that it can be shown TO
the satisfaction of any reasonable
person that increase (of degenera-
tive diseases) is largely due to the
neglect Of individual hygiene IN the
United States. If man were sud
denly afflicted with smallpox or ty-
phoid fever or any other acute NAL
adv. he would lose no time in getting
expert advice and applying every
known means to save his life. But
his life may be threatened just as
seriously, though possibly not so i'm
minently, by arteriosclerosis, heart
disease or Bright's disease, and ne
will do nothing to prevent the en-
croachment of these diseases until it
is too late, but will continue to eat
as he pleases, drink as he pleases,
smoke as he pleases, or overwork and
worry himlf into premature grave"
Prevention of deeenerative dis
eases, then, as well as of the enor-
nous members of preventable acct
dents and injuries, depends in large
measure upon proper living condl-
tons and proper personal habits, and
this one example of the large per-
centage of defects that exist should
show how necessary it is that peo-
pie should have complete cxamina-
lions at regular intervals in order to
check disease at its inception.
