“Laying on of Hands.”
My friend, the agent of a Buffalo wall
paper house, was “taking on” with a
headache in the waiting room of the big
depot in Philadelphia, when a slick
looking stranger about 25 years of age
sat down beside us and asked:
“Is the ache mostly over your eyes or
in the back of your head?”
“It’s all over my head,” groaned the
victim.
“Exactly. Proceeds from a nervous
state of the system. Ah! your pulse is
away up. Let me see your tongue. I
thought so; a cold current of air has
chilled the nerves along the spine, and a
smashing headache is the result.”
“Are you a physician?” I asked.
“Well, no, not in the ordinary sense.
lam called a professor. Some call me a
fakir, even. I effect cures by what is
called laying on of hands. You are
skeptical, of course; but I’ll agree to
cure your friend here in ten minutes or
forfeit $50.”
“For heaven's sake go ahead!” groaned
Tom. “If you can cure me in an hour
I’ll give you $10!”
We went down into the baggage de
partment, w’here the performance
wouldn’t attract so much attention, and
the fellow began passing his hands over
Tom’s head and face, and also rubbing
his hands. He hadn’t worked a minute
before Tom said he felt better, and in ten
the headache was entirely gone.
“Now, don’t offer to pay me or I shall
be offended,” he said, as he stopped
work, “and you'd better sit quiet right
where you are for about ten minutes.
Close your eyes, thus, and lean back a
little more, so.”
He bowed himself out in a graceful
way, and had been gone fifteen minutes
when Tom carefully arose, opened his
eyes and suddenly cried out:
“Robbed, by thunder!”
The fakir got S9O in cash, a railroad
ticket to Washington and a diamond
pin worth $125, and the police haven’t
nabbed him to this day.—New York
Sun.
Very fJonsollng.
■“Boy,” said a lady on East Elizabeth
street, “have you seen a little lost dog
anywhere on the street?”
“A little black and tan?’
“Yes.”
“Yes, I saw him right down by the
alley.”
“Thanks.”
“But he isn’t there now. A great big
dog caught him right at the alley and
chewed him up.”
“Mercy!”
“And gulped him right down.”
“Heavens, no!”
“Yes, he did. I guess he took him for
a piece of beef. You needn’t feel so very
bad, though. The big dog is down there
now, and he’s pawing and howling and
aches all over. I’ll bet your dog stack
in his throat, and that he’ll choke to
death in less’n half an hour.”—Detroit
Free Press.
Too Much Follow.
A Detroiter who returned from Buffalo
the other day decided to walk to his
home on Adams avenue. After getting
up to Fort street he discovered that he
was being followed by an old woman
with a valise. He made two or three
tarns, and as she continued to follow,
and at the same time appeared to be a
stranger to the route, he halted and
asked:
“Madam, can I assist you?”
“Not as I knows of,” she replied.
“But you seemed to be following me.”
“Well, when I got off the train the
conductor told me to follow the crowd
and I’d be all right, and so I took after
you. Hope you’ll slack up a little after
this, for I’m almost out of breath.”—De
troit Free Press.

It is not strange that Indians are short
lived nor that there should be so high a
rate of mortality among their children.
The tribes north of an east and west line
coinciding with the northern limit of'
New Mexico use for dwellings what is
known as the tepee. An Indian of
wealth in the Ute country sometimes
has an opportunity to purchase an A
tent, and even a wall tent, at some sale
of condemned quartermaster’s supplies,
but the very best and newest canvas af
fords poor protection against the snow
storms and freezing winds of the plains.
The tent is usually staked down, with
a shallow gutter dug round it to carry
off the rain water, which would other
wise flood its interior, and, beginning in
the early autumn, a fire is built in the
center of the earth floor, which is sel
dom allowed to go out. Overhead and
hanging in lines suspended from the
canvas are the rifles and other weap
ons of the family, and the floor is cov
ered with about six inches of dead grass
or hay, .which in time is trodden down
and pressed into a fair and tolerably
soft mattress. Wrapped up in his blanket,
with his head resting on his saddle for
a pillow, the Indian sleeps through the
night, depending somewhat on the fire
to keep him from freezing in extremely
cold weather.
LIFE IN A TEPEE.
In dry weather the ventilator at the
apex of the tent may be kept open, but
during storms, when it is closed, the at
mosphere of the tent is stifling and reek
ing with the odor of the unwashed fam
ily and of the many damp and badly
cured furs which every buck accumu
lates. Far from the agencies the In
dians lay in a small stock of flour, coffee
and sugar sufficient to be used sparingly
through the winter, which, with his
frozen beef or antelope meat, constitutes
his bill of fare.
In a tent ten feet in diameter, a buck,
two squaws and five or six small children
pass the winter months, and considering
their uncleanly habits, it is not difficult
to imagine the condition of the habita
tion in the spring. They themselves
probably appreciate this, because rather
than clean up they simply move their
tent to some clean spot.
With a little flour, water and salt tho
squaws make a thick paste, which is
first cooked on hot stones until it be
comes stiff, and then each cake is further
cooked by standing it on its edge with
its flat surface exposed to the flames
until it is thoroughly baked into quite
palatable bread. Their meat is fried in
its own fat or roasted on a spit studk in
“he t, - -md, while a small child keeps it
turning to equalize tho roasting. The
bread cakes serves as plates, while their
fingers are both knives and forks, so the
Indian has no dish washing process to
go through with, for when the meal is
finished he eats his plate and licks off his
knives and forks with his tongue.
MAKING LEGGINS.
The hunting of deer in the Rocky
mountains has driven them north into
British America, and in a few more
years our Indians will have no more
buckskins for leggins and moccasins.
Only the skin of the heavy hided deer
can be used, that of the antelope and
white tailed varieties being too tender
for long service. The Apaches make
their moccasins and leggins in one piece,
in the style of hunting boots, while most
of the Indians to the north wear slippers
and leggins. Whenever a deer is killed
and cut up the bladder is carefully cut
away, cleaned, and filled with the brain
of the animal, and the little bag is most
carefully guarded until a stream is
reached, where the hide may be cured.
The entire skin is then put into run
ning water, and weighted down with
stones. In four or five hours the soak
ing has swelled it and loosened the hair
at the roots, when it is taken out and
stretched on a frame, while the owner,
with the aid of a cleaned rib of the ani
mal, scrapes it down until all tho hair is
rubbed off, very much in the same man
ner as overheated horses are scraped to
remove the foam and sweat. The skin
is then pulled and stretched for three or
four hours, and, at the same time, oiled
with the brain until it is perfectly dry,
soft and pliable, when it is ready for
use. When a tan color is desired it is
soaked in an infusion of red bark. The
sole of the moccasin is always made of tho
raw hide of beef cattle and sewed to the
upper with the sinews of the deer’s tendon
achilles.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Tho Attorney’s Dog.
A Boston lawyer who resides in the
suburbs is the owner of a dog that cer
tainly possesses the instincts of an attor
ney. The other day he saw another dog
carrying off a tempting looking bone.
A second dog followed at a short dis
tance. The lawyer’s dog quickly con
ceived a plan of action worthy of an em
inent legal mind. He immediately
brought action against the dog with the
bone. The third dog at once quickened
his pace, and lost no time in instituting
supplementary proceedings in his own
behalf. This assistance proved equiva
lent to a decree for the plaintiff, for the
lawyer’s dog left the third dog to bear
the brunt of the litigation, and seizing
the bone fled to his own kennel, where
possession was truly nine points of the
law.—Boston Traveller.
He Was Hit Hard.
Teacher—What is a famine?
Small Boy (who has been in the coun
try)—Miles an’ miles of apple trees and
