Nurses' Experience. Medical men say that a good nurse In a difficult case is better than med icine, but uhen we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance of re covery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers : " I have constantly used St. Jacobs Od in the various situations I have occupies as nurse,-and have invariably found it excei:ent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy-well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years' use and experience. It should be in every household." Sister CAROl rNA, St. Andrew's Hospital, writes: " I have found St. Jacqobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout ; also in sprains and bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it constantly."

So says the .1-t.ý- - :.. frontierman. Mvy words are not for this man. He.does not justify Bf lockades to , all that is in civilization. The In Indian tdian is human; if cheated. wronged and misused, he will Civilization justly resent it, the same as the' +' white man. ByDR.CARLOS MONTEZUMA, . I deny that the Indian is SAn Indian Physician Practicing in Chicago. 4. ,, more of a savage than the white man. I deny that the scalping knife and the tomahawk are more significant of great savagery than the sword and Gatling gun of the pale face. Can the Indian produce such destructive and cruel implements of warfare as the monstrous cannon and that death-dealing explosive, the Lyddite ? Yet this same man will use every means to influence the government to appropri ate large sums of money for the reservations in his state or terri tory, as though he were actually the red man's almoner. The white man looks after his own interest. WVhy not allow the Indian to do the same thing? THE SYMPATHETIC PLEA.-"Poor things! Do not change their custom all at once. Bring them into civilization by gradual process." This sounds very much like the saint who cut his dog's tail off little by little so as not to hurt the dear dog too much. This kind and gentle ideal is a sham. Four hundred years of gradual process have elapsed, and what are they ? A caged being, worse than his forefather ever dreamt of. Idler, beggar, gambler, pauper and ruin! Let us stop this destructive process by the quickest way pos sible. For the sake of their future the Indian heart of to-day must be broken. THE CHURCH.-To Christianize the Indians we must seclude them by themselves, away from the vices of civilization, and send missionaries to them." A prominent divine has said: "If I were the devil and wished to do the most devilish thing, I would not destroy the churches, but I would corrupt them." The reservation is a devil ish method of Christianizing my people. I believe in missions. Not one missionary to thousands of In dians, but thousands of missionaries to one Indian, which they would get in the midst of civilization. THE EDUCATOR'S VIEW.-"Build more schools on reserva tions, so that the Indian pupils may be an object lesson for their parents, to convince them of the practicability of education." With a shake of my head I would say, very few Indian schools are needed in the United States. Or, I might go so far as to say, no Indian school is necessary, especially when the public school is the anchor of our educational system. To me to deprive the Indian chil dren of this anchorage is an insult. You may as well say: "You are an inferior race of children; we do not want you in our public schools." In Indian schools Indians teach Indians. When you al low their ignorant parents to decide for their children's welfare, you only encourage the blind to lead the blind, and Indians will remain Indians for ages to come. My plea is, if the public school is good enough for all races, who not for the true American children. THE SHOW MAN AND THE ANTHROPOLOGIST. "Leave the Indians alone. It is beautiful to preserve the true chil dren of nature as object lessons to study from." By blinding the In dians Buffalo Bill has wrongly educated the public. To leave the Indians alone as curiosities and studies may be well enough for the show man and the anthropologist. But what about the Indian? The standard of a splendid race is degraded by it. He deserves a bet ter fate than to be decked with savage attire, only to be ridiculed and jeered at for mercenary and scientific purposes. Do away with your ignorance of the Indian. Help him to escape the deadly fate of the reservation system. Learn of him, as he will of you. Then you will develop the man and not the savage, the citizen and not the pauper. This is all I have to say for my people. _ bet&a~d~t~ WRONGLY PUT. Young Man's Form of Proposal Should Have Been Different. "Will you be mine?" It was a young man who spoke, and the young woman, understanding, bent her shapely head and, blushing, answered: "Yes." Oh, love! Oh, rapture! Fifteen minutes after the above emotional conversation had taken piace the storm abated to some extent, and she directed her joyful eyes to his as if in question. Quick is the apprehension of love, and he was all anxiety in a moment. "What is it, darling?" he asked, holding her to him as if fcarful lest she should escape. "Haven't I £5,000 in my own right ?" she murmured. His grasp tightened on her as if it were twice as much. "So I have heard, dear." he re sponded, trying to be utterly indiffer ent. "And you haven't anything?" "Nothing. darling." And once more he tightened his hold on the fu ture comforter of his life. For a long timeshe remained silent as if in deep thought. "Don't you think, John." she said. at last, "that that question you asked PUZZLE PICTURE. /ic~ r 8, ,8 "WH PD-L-HEr' S If' "WHaO T3U3F5PD 351" me a minute ago was just a bit out of order?"

"Yes, John.

All the worry and anxiety fled from his face and soul on the spot. "Have it exactly as you please, dar ling." he said, with a radiant emile. "There isn't any more mine or yours in the matter.

JOKE WAS TOO REALISTIC: Comedian Himself Foolec When He Thought to Fool the Audience. The properties that are used on the burlesque stage are not alwayscoun terfeit, although there is a popular idea that stage whisky is generally cold tea, that stage butter is a thick mixture of yellow corn meal and water and that stage milk is neveranything but chalk and water. The people in the front row of a local theater re cently had it demonstrated to them that the milk used in a bottle had once been. the real thing. and they had rea son to regret that the property man had not followed the usual rule of manufacturing the article out of chalk and water. The comedian had been in the habit of doing an effective bit of acting with a large rag baby dressed up to re semble a real child, and a baby's nurs ing bottle filled with a substance re sembling milk. No one in the audi ence thought it was milk and neither did the comedian himself. He had been handling the bottle for weeks and had not noticed that the cork was getting loose. Several nights ago it occurred to the comedian that he could make his part funnier by let ting the cork out of the bottle and al lowing some of the "milk" to escape as he went through his usual motions in extracting laughter from the crowd. The comedian was much more suc cessful than he had any idea he would be, for when the cork came out of the bottle a considerable amount of its contents came also, in chunks, and with an odor which was stronger even than that of limburger cheese. The comedian dodged back from the stage as quickly as possible, his hand to his nose. and the chorus girls' carefully avoided the spot on the stage where the milk had fallen. As soon as the comedian had finished his part he made a bee line for the property man in the wings, who was responsible for the contents of the bottle. "Why didn't you tell me that you had real milk in that bottle?" de manded the comedian, indignantly. "Because, I never thought you'd be fool enough to let the cork out," said the property man with equalheat. "I filled that bottle with milk when we were at Buffalo, eight weeks ago, and it would have done well enough if you'd only had sense enough to keep the cork in. Of course, you can't ex pect milk to keep sweet bottled up for eight weeks, and nobody but a thick headed Irish comedian would expect it. I've got to go and buy another pint of milk now to fill up that bottle with, and this show ain't making any too much money anyway. Its idiots like you who spoil the properties in shows and break them up in busi ness." The answer of the property man for the time being completely squelched the unfortunate comedian, and he in wardly resolved to investigate .all properties before he attempted to in troduce any originality into the act he had been performing for 17 years.- Milwaukee Sentinel. YOUNG RAVENS. Curious Bit of Natural History from An cient Records. I have not learning enough to know whether in the earliest times ravens were accounted "unlucky:' If so. why were they chosen fromamong all the birds of the air for the merci ful errand of carrying bread to Elijah in the wilderness? (Did they steal it? They are given to theft!) Also in the written word we are assured that "God heareth the young ravens when they cry out unto Him." And nothing of this is said of doves, or of any other white or heavenly kind of bird. An 'xplan tion is given in the Egyptian commentary on St. Luke, in the Cop tic script by Epiphanius, A. D. 368 401. The passage is certainly very curious, and I am permitted to tran scribe it here. "Why, then, did the evangelist mention no name among the birds except ravens only? Be cause the hen raven, having laid her eggs and hatched her young, is wont to fly away and leave them on account of the hue of their color; for when hatched they are red in appearance. Then the Nourisher of all Creation sends to them a little swarm of in sects, putting it by their nest, and thus the little ravens are fed until the color of their body is, as it were, dyed and becomes black. But after seven days the old ravens return, and, seeing that the bodies of their young have become perfectly like theiown, henceforward they take to themaiia bring them food of their own accord.'" It is for natumalists to ascertain whether or no this strange account of the young ravens holds goodin our day.--b Ornhill Magazine. Why the Kaiser Is Uncrowned. Probably few people out of Eng land regard with more interest, the proceedings in regard to the. king's coronation than his imnperial nejhew at Berlin, and all the more so that, as emperor, he is still uncrowned, as were his father and grandfather be fore' him. The reasonn why is some thing of a mystery, but the explana tion most generally accepted is that the original imperial crown of the German emperor is in the hands of Austria,. and that she shows no dis position t, allow ittoleave Viewna. A Hanpy Passage. "Young man," said the resident physician at the hospital, "you have only an hour to. live." The white-robed nurss moved silently to and fro as the patient nervously clutched the bed covering. "'Yes, it is my sad duty to inform you that you are going to that bourne from which no traveler returns; but all is hap piness there, the days know no night, and there is rest eternal-sweet rest." The patient's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he exclaimed joyfully: "Ah! and I will not have to chase the lost-ping-pong ball?" Then they understood.
