WINCHESTER & CO. Chemists 162 William St.. N.Y. “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. Inherited.

How They Eat and Live Dur ing the Cold Months. POOR RED MEN TO BE PITIED. Construction of a Tepee—Furnishing of the Tent—How Their Bread is Made—Process of Hunting and Cur ing the Leather for Leggins aud Moccasins—The Attorney’s Dog. 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 nothin’ on ’em.—Good News. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Lexington, Va., Jauurary 47, 1890.
