Eating Fruit at Breakfast.
One of the roo6t injurious customs in
regard to eating is the practice of serving
fruit at the beginning of breakfast. The
best medical testimony pronounces acid
of any sort hurtful if taken when the
stomach is empty. A more judicious
custom provides fruit nt the close of the
meaL Besides being easier digested at
that time, the fruit can be better relished.
If it is thought that the fruit losee its
flavor in a warn room through a long
meal, it may' not be plabed upon the
t a b l e , but kept in a cool spot until the
time of serving.—Chicago Herald.

SCENE® AMONG THE SIOUX.
What the Squaw* and Young Bucks Buj.
Vain and Fund of Winery.
An Indian « ho bn* 1 bundle Of peltl
to dispose of is r* • 'lie most impatient
creatures ta ti c «id, and gives the
trader no rest till he lias exchanged them
for such articles as ha most covets ta the
•tore. In the early morning before sun¬
rise they begin to congregate about the
■tore and the tired employes yet in bed
are aware by the shuffling of their moc¬
casin mi feet on the front porch (hat decidedly their
chances for another nap are
unfavorable. Placing their packs of
hides or turs or - lie porch they wander
from window i ■ 'window, peeping inside
to ascertain it nybody is yet astir
within. When bj isfied that all the em¬
ployes are yet abed, they contrive some-
now to cross the stockade fence, when
they pass through the yard to the rear of
ttie store, where the clerks usually sleep.
Posting themselves at the bedroom win¬
dows they begin a lusty drumming on
the panes, "E-nock-e-ne-ku-lah” accompanied with the ejacula¬
tion: desired (hurry up,
friend). This soon has the effect,
and ta a few moments the door is un¬
locked and thrown open tffid the business
of trading begins at once. that fre¬
So great is this morning rush
quently it is impossible to take time to
sweep the floor and dust the goods be¬
fore tho breakfast call. The crowd con¬
tinues increasing until about 0 o’clock,
when the store ia literally jammed with
Indians, men, women and children, and
hordes of dogs. Then what a row of
pointed faces, nodding plumes and fan¬
tastic costumes you see ranged along the
coon ter, and what a Babel of confusion
—all clamoring to be waited on at once.
A cluster of squaws arrayed in gaudy
shawls call the trader’s attention to a
certain piece of calico, and demand the
price, and no matter whether it be jdfh
or low his reply is greeted by a chorus of
scornful exclamations and derisive laugh¬
ter. During the process of tearing off
the desired amount the trader is made
the butt of a series of ridiculous taunts,
in which a more proficient adept than an
Indian sqnaw could nowhere be found.
But still the throng increases and the
noise accordingly. The benches around
the walls are crowded, and now they be¬
gin to sit in groups on the floor, smoking
and chatting. Occasionally a dog fight
starts up, which creates a short stam¬
pede, until the belligerent canines are
fired out.
Same of tha peculiarities of the In¬
dians to trade are very troublesome to
the trader. For instance, if one sells
furs to the amount of $3 or $4 and
agrees to take his pay in goods, he usu¬
ally insists on having the amount ta
money counted out and given him before
be begins to purchase. When he re¬
ceives the cash he begins to purchase,
paying for such articles procured until
the whole amount is expended Pres¬
ently another steps up and wishes change
for $1 in dimes. He then calls for cal¬
ico, laying down a dime, the price of
one yard; when that is measured he con¬
tinues, putting down a dime at each
measure until the desired number is
reached, when It Is tom off and given
him. Even then he is not through with
you, for every purchaser, bis bill, no matter
about the extent of expects
••sin-te,” which must be a present of
some matches, apples, candy or the like.
The squaws are as much given to van¬
ity as their white sisters of civilization,
the articles which they covet most being
vermilion for painting the face, beads,
fancy calicoes and shawls of gaudy colors.
Iroquois, a small bugle shaped shell, is
much prized and is used for making
necklaces and ornaments for the ears.
They also purchase a great many fancy
articles, such as little hand mirrors, per¬
fumery of various kinds, fancy display soaps,
etc. Among the perfumery bay there
is usually a few bottles of rum, but
should a buck purchase a bottle it is not
likely that be would use it for toilet pur¬
poses; be would remove the cork and
gravely turning up the bottle drink off
the contents at a draught. He does the
same with flavoring extracts, lemon,
vanilla, etc.
The Indians bring a great many curi¬
osities to the store to be exchanged for
goods. The squaws are quite tasty in
the manufacture of these native orna¬
ments, which consist of knife scabbards,
pony whips, moccasins and other gew¬
gaws made of buckskin and worked with
beads and porcupine quills. The most
interesting article, however, and one
which ever commands a ready sale, ia
the Indian dolls. They are usaally
dressed in buckskin, in perfect imitation
of a brave ready for the war path, with
fringed leggings and tiny moccasins, the
crown of the head being covered with
buffalo hair terminating in a long wisp
behind. With faces fantastically printed
they present a very hostile appearance.
The articles brought in by the men con¬
stat of deer heads, deer, antelope and
buffalo bores; the latter, however, are
now very rare. They also bring pipes,
tomahawks, war clubs, bows and arrows,
Imitation scalps, and petrified remains
ricked up in their wanderings.—Sam
Barker In Detroit Free Press,
Vine* tor the Dwelling Hoo*e.
$ Nothing adds more to the appearance
of a place than vines growing about the
another it must be that vines are the
poets of the field and garden. I have
seen houses that were as ungraceful could well be in
their bare outlines as they of vines about
•6 transformed by the all use about their for¬
them that yon forget hidden under
mer n glinam. That was
the clustering leaves; the slender
branches, thrown here and there in the
e sroixni, unstudied grace of the true
artist, breaking up all harsh outlines and
destroying all of that primness and for¬
mality characteristic of a house as it
comes from the hand of the carpenter. with
Skillful planning by a designer but an
artistic eye can do much for a home,
the vine can do more The finishing
touch must be made fay it It is not only
a poet, but it is an artist It cannot only
conceal defects, but it is capable of mak¬
ing them picturesque and striking whan
given a chance to do so. I was very
forcibly impressed with the troth of this
iqr seeing a honse not long ago, which
had been left in an unfinished state.
This condition would have made the
house an unpleasant thing to see. But
some one had planted vines about it and
they had clambered to the roof and ran
along the projecting boards of the ends,
covering them with foliage and dropping
here and there a festoon of greenery
which actually made the building more
attractive than it would have been if the
cornice had been completed, with its
straight lines and uncompromising clamber an¬
gles. Do you want something to
up to the roof and cover the building
with foliage, bat beautiful all through the
season, doubly so in the fall! Then
the very plant you are in search of is our
native vine* ampelopsia or Virginia creeper.
This is to us what the ivy is to Eng¬
land. It is hardy; it will fasten itself
to the smoothest surface; it will take
care of itself. What more can you ask!
In fall it will take on colors so brilliant
that it rivals the flowers in the beds be¬
low.—E. E. Rexford in Vick’s Mag a zin e.
Superiority of Women.
“Who Is it," cried Miss Susan B.
Anthqny a few d^yB ago, “who is it that
fill your penitentiaries? Not womeu,hut
men. And who is it that fill your
churches? Not men, but women."
Now, we maintain without ceasing the
superiority of the gentle sex in every
moral quality that adorns human nature;
and we cannot deny that the vast ma¬
jority of criminals of every kind are
men.
from Men which are liable women to many are happily temptations free.
The boisterous passions are stronger in
men than in women. The bones and
muscles of men are harder than those of
women. The insatiable Inst for lucre
rages in the heart of men, not of women.
The fierce competitions of life are be¬
tween men, not women. The rough
work of tfae world in business and poli¬
tics and publio control, in which hostile
feelings are apt to be generated, is done
by men, not by women. Men haunt the
liquor shop, while women do not enter.
Many men prowl around the streets and
publio places at night when hearth.—New women are
