TEROUJBLESOME PAINS AND ACHES While Rheumatism is usually worse in Winter because of the cold and dampness of a changing atmosphere, it is by no means a Winter disease entirely. Persons in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has collected, feel its troublesome pains.and aches all the year round. The cause of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought abou,. by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter, which the natural ave -nues of bodilv waste have failed to carry off. This refuse matter coming im -contact with the different acids of the body, .forms uric acid which is absorbed by the blood and distributed to all parts-of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. Rheumatic persons are almost constant sufferers ; the nagging pains in joints and muscles, are ever present under the most favorable climatic conditions, while exposure to dampness& or an attack of indigestion will often bring on the severer symptoms even in warm. pleas ant weather. Liniments, plasters, lotions, etc., relieve the pain and give the sufferer temporary comfort, but are in no sense curative ; because Rheumatism * ~ is not a disease that can be rubbed away or SSdrawn out with a plaster. S. S.

Utter incapacity for managing his own money affairs had brought poor Goldsmith, not for the first time, to his last penny, and his landlady to the end of her stock of patience. It was in these. circumstances that "The Vicar of Wakefield" was sold to pay the un happy author's unpaid rent. Boswell tells us that one morning in 1764 Dr. Johnson received an urgent message from Goldsmith begging he would come to him as soon as possible, as he was in great distress. Johnson at once sent him a guinea and then went over to see his friend. He found Goldsmith much excited and in a violent passion because his landlady had arrested him for his rent "I perceived," says the doctor, "that he had already changed my guinea and had got a bottle of madeira and a glass before him. I nut the cork in the bottle, desired he would be calm and began to talk to him of the means by whiich he might be extricated." Goldsmith then pro duced the MS. copy of "The Vicar of Wakefield," lying In his desk ready for the press. Johnson looked at it, per ceived its merits and thereupon took it to a bookseller named Newberry and sold it to him for ?00. "I brought Gold smith the money," continues Johnson, "and he discharged his rent, not with out rating his landlady in a high tone for having used him so ill."-London Tit-Bits.

In an open square, where the dust pall forbade sight or breath, I directed my steps toward the source of a throbbing roll that ceaselessly wove itself in with the noise of voices and the pattering of unshod feet of beasts. As I neared it the noise became detached from the hubbub, a distinct and individual thing, which insistently claimed attention and made the very motes in the air dance to time. Under a willow tree by the water ditch that defined the square sat a bent old man, unbelevably ragged. So torn were his many khalats t they did not seem like constructed gar ments at all, but strings of tatters and tags collected and hung on his fat, weak body. His head was bent on his breast, and his eyes were half closed. On his stomach was a wooden bowl, with a skin drum head stretched across it, and on this drum head he beat in cessantly with his knuckles and his fist The motion was so automatic and deadly regular in its recurrent changes that it seemed almost as if he~ were a clockwork figure set at the edge of the busy market to record the passage of time. I flung some coppers on the, brass begging tray by his side and went off, unconsciously adjusting my steps to .his beating. He made the trivial 1arter and the driving of laden animals seem vapid and futile, and my bit of charity sickened me. It was as if I had happened along and patted Socra tes on the back.-Langdon Warner in Century.

Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Values of Fats and Oils. There is a remarkable misapprehen sion, particularly among many per sons of the more intelligent class of our people, says the Dietetic and Hy gienic Gazette, as to the food value of the fats and oils. The muscle or red meat is a valuable source of proteld, but the excessive consumpton of pro teld invites various diseases which fig ure very prominently in the causes of death. The fats and oils increase our resistance against cold and some of the causes of disease. The health of many so called scrofulous children would be improved by teaching them to eat mnore fat Fats in abundance consttute a very essential part of the dietary of the tuberculous patient. A larger proportion of the fatty elements of foods would go a long way in add ing to the robustness of many persons and saving thegi trom the subsequent dmimrlt oftbecls. SCALPING THE ENEMY HOW THE INDIANS GLORIED IN THIS FIENDISH PRACTICE. The Greater the Bravery of the Vic tim the More His Scalp Was Prized. Men Who Survived This Terrible Ordeal-The Case of Robert McGee. Of the origin of scalp taking but lit tle is known, and that vague and in definite. Nearly every tribe has some wild, weird legend to account for the custom, but these traditions vary wide ly as to the cause. That raising the hair of an enemy is of great antiquity there is no doubt, for in the Bible it Is related how the soldiers tore the skin from the heads of their vanquished foes. With the North American savage there appears to 'be some close affili ation .between the departed and his hair. I have often asked many a blood begrimed warrior why he should care for a dead man's hair, and invariably a number of reasons have been assigned. It Is an evidence to his people that he has triumphed over his enemy. The scalps are very prominent factors In the incantations of the medicine lodge, a feature of religious rites. The savage believes there is a wonderfully inherent power in the scalp of an en emy. All the excellent qualities of the victim go with his hair the moment it is wrenched from his head. If the vic tim is a renowned warrior so much greater is the anxiety to procure his scalp, for the fortunate possessor then inherits all the bravery and prowess of its original owner. I never knew of but one instance In all my experience among the Indians covering a period of more than a third of a century where a white man taken prisoner in battle escaped death. It was a great many years ago; the party, a dear friend, is still living, a grand old mountaineer, but the homeliest man on earth probably. He was red faced, wrinkled and pockmarked, with a mouth as large and full of teeth as a gorilla, and there was no more hair on his head than there Is on a billiard ball. He was captured in a prolonged fight and taken to the village of the tribe, where the principal chief resided. That dignitary gave one disgusted look at the prisoner and said that he was "bad medicine," and, if not the "evil spirit" himself, closely re lated to it. The chief ordered his subordinates to furnish the prisoner with a pony, loaded with provisions, provided him with a rifle and told him to go back to his people. For the reasons stated the Indian of the great plains and Rocky mountains would rather take one scalp of a fa mous scout or army officer who had successfully chastised, them-for ex ample, Custer. Sully, Miles or Crook than a dozen scalps of ordinary white men. There are many idstances on record where men have been scalped and yet survived the terrible ordeal, butin every case the scalper supposed his victim dead, the latter taking good care that his foeman should not be disabused of the supposed fact. mn 1867 a party of Indians took up e. rail on the Union Pacific railroad and laid obstructions on the track. After dark a freight train ran Into the trap and was wrecked. The engine driver and firemen were instantly killed. The cnductor and brakeman jumped off, to find themselves beset by a band of yelling savages. The engineer es caped in the darkness, but the luck less brakeman was shot and fell. The Indian who had fired disn~unted from his pony, scalped him, stripped him of his clothing and rode away. Early In the morning another freight train was flagged by a hideous looking object, which turned out to be the brakeman, whohad been shot through the body and scalped. He had re covered his senses, and, knowing that the train was due, walked some dis-, tance down the track to save it from being wrecked. He was taken on board, and the train moved up to the wreck, which, after plundering it, the Indians left just as It was thrown over through their devilish act I saw the unfortunate man some anonths afterward. He was perfectly recovered, but with a horrible looking head. He stated that the bullet, al though knocking him down, had not made him unconscious, , and the greatest trial during the awful night was the necessity of shamming dead, he not daring to even groan while the Indian was sawing at his scalp with a very dull knife. The other instance which has come nder my own observation Is that of Robert McGee. In, 1864 McGee, a slender stripling of a lad, came to Leavenworth, Kan., seeking employ ment That town was the base of gov ernment supplies for all the frontier military posts, even as far away as Arizona. A freight caravan was at that time loading for' Fort Union, N. M. The wagons and whole outfit were owned by a contractor named H. C. Barret, but he would not take the chances of the long and perilous .rlp of more than 700 miles through the [dan infested plains unless the government leased the train outright or gave him -an indemnifying bond or assurance against loss. The bond was given and Barret proceeded to hire teamsters-a hard task on account of the danger attending the journey. young M~cGee was among the number engaged, and the caravan started on uly 1, 1864. It took the old Santa F'e trail, strik ing the Arkansas river at the great bend of that stream near its con fluence with the Walnut The region was very rough and called the "dark and bloody ground," for some of the worst Indian massacres in the history of the plains were perpetrated there. Some insignificant skirmishes with the [dians had taken place, but nothing to cause any serious alarm, and now, as the caravan was approaching the vi cinity of Fort' Larned, its proximity was believed to be sufficient protection from further possible danger. On the afternoon of July 18-it had been an excessively hot day-the cara van went Into camp at an early hour. The escorting troops stacked arms about half a mile distant, but in full iew of the train. The men should have kept a good lookout for sur prises-probably did in a way--but there was a feeling of security in the kowledge that a regular attack by savages is rarely made until the early hours of the morning, when sleep is heaviest About 4 o'clock, however, a band of Brule Sioux, under the lead of Little Lurtle, descended from the sand hills In all the fury of a tornado, uttering heir wild war whoops, and of all the small army of men employed by the aravan young Robert McGee alone ame Out alive to tell the story of the assacre. Every individual was shot dead and scalped as he lay or sat at e mess table. The mules, of course, but thie wagoh were deStroye by fire. their canvas covers cut up into breech cloth and the flour with which the car avan was loaded emptied from its sacks on the prairie. Young McGee was attacked by Little Turtle himself and knocked to the ground by one blow of his tomahawk. As he lay there, partially stunned and bleeding, Little Turtle fired two ar rows into his body, pinning him to the earth. Then, -in a transport of iend ishness, he took Robert's own pistol and shot him, the bullet lodging in his backbone.. Not quite satisfied that he had made a good job of it, he stooped over the boy's prostrate body and, run ning his knife around his head, lifted sixty-four square inches of his scalp, trimming it off just back of the ears. Believing his victim to be dead by that time, the chief abandoned him, but others of the band in passing hack ed him with their knives and poked holes into him with their long lances. All the others in the train were long since dead, killed outright, and their bodies mutilated. After the savages had completed their work they rode. vhoopin.- and yelling, away. and the troops that had witnessed the whole affair from their vantage ground came upon the scene to investigate and learn whether the Sioux had been properly met or not by the ill fated men of the caravan. The officer in command was very properly court martialed and dismissed in dis grace from the servico He never gave any satisfactory reason for his outra geous and cowardly conduct The only part the troops took in the affair was to bury the dead. When they attempted to put young McGee under the ground tney found a very lively corpse, despite the fact that he was scalped and had received fourteen distinct wounds, any one of which would have terminated the life of an ordinary man. After interring the dead the soldiers hastened to Fort Larned, thirty miles distant, where young McGee .was placed under the care of the post sur geon. It was three months before he was able to be moved from there. During that time he had fair com mand of his mental faculties and was sufficiently strong to tell all the inci dents of the attack. The owner of the caravan, who had remained in Leavenworth, on hearing what had befallen his property put in a claim for big damages from the gov ernment and was awarded a sum which made him independent for life, but he persistently refused to do any thing for the sole survivor. McGee's claims were laid before the president, and in October, 1864, Mr. Lincoln sent him a letter and a pass by special envoy, directing him to come to Washington as soon as he was able to travel and stating that he himself would see that McGee's wrongs were righted. When McGee had recovered suffi ciently to move about, his mind, which had been remarkably clear up to that time, began to cloud, and he became possessed of a mania to hunt Sioux t the death. In one of his frenzied spells the pass and the letter from President Lincoln were stolen from him, and neither the president nor the army took any further notice of him. For a dozen years after receiving his injuries McGee was a wanderer, and when it was discovered that Little Turtle had been wiped out it 'was said that the biggest notch on McGee's gun barrel commemorated the full measure of his revenge, a long mark for the ~chief and nine shorter ones for the subordinate headmen who had bitten the dust at the command of the in erring rifle that never failed to execute its mission when pointed at a Brule's breast After Little Turtle had been sent to the happy hunting grounds McGee's mind began to regain its normal equi librium until at last he once more be came perfectly sane.-Kansas City Star. Fasting Spiders. An interesting instance of the much discussed ability of spiders to exist for lengthy periods without food has been noted by y. H. Fabre, the eminent nat ralist, who while studying the habits of the spider known as Lycosa narbo nensis observed that this spider carries its little ones upon its back during sev en months aid that during this time the young spiders consume absolutely no food. He concluded from this ob servation that It is the solar heat and light that for them directly take the place of nourishment In other words, "the motor heat in these young ani mas instead of being released from the food might be utilized directly as the sun, source of all life, radiates It." -London Sphere.
