Diseases of tho Indian. An examination of the reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for 1888-4.-5, gives the following figure^ in regard to the diseases treated by three physicians on the main Sound, namely, at the Tulalip, -Puyallup and Skoko- mish Agencies: Total number of cases treated, 4,599; of these eighteen per cent, were miasmatic diseases, includ­ ing fevers, diarrhea and tonsiHtis; nine per cent, were diathetic, of which rheumatism was by far the most com- mon; four pc£r cent, were tu^erJfnlar, as consumption and scrofula; one per .rasitic, as worms: eight nervous diseases, of as the most common; were diseases of the iiree-quarters of the ear; of one per cent, of the cir- ineteen per cent, of the re- organs, of which bronchitis r le most common; eight per cent, e digestive organs, diarrhea be- the most general; one and one- iiarter per cent, were diseases of the bones, nearly all be ng of the teeth; seven per cent, were skin diseases, and seven per cent, were wounds, injuries and accidents. Of the whole number sick 134 died--nearly three per cent. Cuts and wounds heal eas ly. Scrof­ ulous diseases are very difficult to cure. They are not near as sensitive to pain as the whites; they will cut themselves in their religious ceremonies, with appar­ ently little suffering, while the same wounds would throw a white person into a fever, and they can easily en­ dure a number of fleas which would annoy a white person beyond endur­ ance. I have known very few who were deformed. Three Clallams have been humpbacked, two of whom died while children. A solitary case of in­ sanity is recorded--a Clallam. The re­ port was that in early life, while he was chopping, a tree fell on his head and split it so that the brains ran out, but he,recovered. In after years he was considerably addicted to drinking, and for this reason he was removed from Port Discovery to the Skokoihish reservation in the winter of 1880. Some months previous to his removal it is said that ho showed some signs of in­ sanity for a few weeks, and for some montbs after it whisky was kept from him. In July, 1881, he became insane, after having secretly obtained some whisky. He was doctored both by the Indian medicine men and the agency physician, but was not cured. He was then allowed to return to Dungeness, but he died soon after. Education in Arizona. "Have vou cut down the horse-thief that was lynched last night up by the school house ?" asked the Mayor of an Arizona town of the Coroner. "Not yet," replied the Coroner. "Well, what in thunder have you been doing--going to let the fellow hang there all day before you hold your inquest?" "O, no, only about an hour longer." "Why?" "Prof. Harvard, of the sohool, re­ quested n>e to leave him there till after 9 o'clock." " What's th at for ?" "Well, he said he thought the chil­ dren ought to become acquainted with the proper position of a horse-thief, so he asked me to leave him till after they came to school. He said it was of course rather outside of his regular line of instruction, bat he was anxious to do everything in his power to edu­ cate and broaden the minds of the youth placed under him." "Well, by gosh!" replied the Mayor, "I don't kBow but the professor is right. I believe Pll step up and sug­ gest that he go out under the tree and give the children a short talk on the subject. I'm sorry that they couldn't have been up there with us last night and have seen the fellow kick."--Fred Carruth. A CHATHAM (N.

[New York Times.] "-As far as danger is concerned, I be­ lieve there is more in trapping the grizzly than there is in chasing him with a rifle. Our traps are ponderous iron implements, as heavy as three of your black-bear traps, and with jaws so stiff that it requires two men using a lever to force them open tio they can be set. We attach a strong chain to the trap, th% same as you do for the playthings you call bear here in the East, but our chains are strong enough for log chains. At the other end of the chain is attached an iron ring or band six or eight inches in diameter. This is forced, by pounding it with a maul, over the end of a log six feet long and big enough around to make the iron band fit so tightlv nrountj it that it can't be pulled off. Whfetf a grizzly steps on the pan of one of these great traps and the stiff jaws close on his leg, the heavy log serves as a hin- derance to him as he drags it along by the chain on his rotreat to his haunts in the tangled thickets he favors. A great deal of cunning has to be used in setting a trajj) for a grizzly bear, for he is almost as suspicious as' the fox, and .will frequently desert what has the ap­ pearance of a good meal if he makes up his mind that danger is lurking near. He never hesitates to risk danger that he may see positively confronting or challenging him in the way of hunter, dog, or anything else, but a suspicious-looking object, the nature of which he cannot understand, is enough to start him off about his business and to keep him moving until he has placed a good extent of territory between him and the mysterious cause of his fear. "And what do you suppose is the favorite food of thfs fierce and hulking monster? Ground mice, moles, grubs, and crickets. What do you think of a great, bloodthirsty beast, weighing 1,200 pounds, hunting and devouring such insignificant things as these ? Yet a grizzly bear will do that all day long. Once I trapped for several days for a big grizzly that was prowling about a mining-camp where I was staying, but I failed in every attempt I made to lead the wily beast into my steel. I was about to give him up as a bad job,when I heard a ground-mouse squealing near where the trap was set, and I made up my mind to give the bear one trial with a few of these little chaps as lures. After a long and tedious search I caught a dozen mice, and, covering up my trap carelessly with some dead branches, I tied half a dozen of tho mice by strings to' pegs in the ground around the trap. When, I visited the spot an hour or so later I found Mr. Grizzly fast, with both of his paws in the trap. The mice had overcome his fears, and I put him out of his trouble by loading him with a few riflle balls. After that I would never have used anything else but ground mice to tempt grizzlies to my traps, but they are not an easy thing to get hold of, and I had to do without them except on rare oc­ casions.

Hike MeEirenfs Struggle with a Bear in / ftewburg. * One of Newburg's oldest and most popular citizens is "Mike" Mc- Ewen. Many years ago "Mike" paid a visit to that beautiful city where he now lives. He was so fascinated with the beauty of the place that he determined then and there to make it his home. He bought a large tract of land in Waldon, and to-day there stands on that once nncultivated site a fine orchard and farm. It was "Mike's" custom to treat his neighbors to a straw ride every winter, but one of the prin­ cipal features of the gatherings at his place has been the Thanksgiving Day festival. During these enjoyable gath­ erings many funny and thrilling tales have been told by generous "Mike" and always received due recognition from his guests, who displayed a great inter­ est in the subject on which he was dis­ coursing, and appauded him whenever an opportunity presented itself. "Mrke" tells a good story of his experience with a bear, of which the following is a verbatim account. "When I first visited this place there were but few people living in this vi­ cinity, but there was a fine woods filled with plenty of game. While I was walking through the woods one day on a hunting expedition my attention was attracted to a thick clump of bushes by a loud noise and rustling of the trees. Upon looking back I saw an object com­ ing toward me. Thinking that it might be some belated traveler, as it was i<n the dead of winter, and the snow was falling fast, I kept on. Suddenly my steps were arrested. Instead of being a human being, as I had supposed, it was nothing more nor less than a largo black bear. I grabbed my gun, pulled the trigger and fired. The shot went wide of its mark,however, and in another instant bruin made a spring for me. Being then young and of athletic frame I jumped to one side just in time to save myself from the clutches of the bear. I again grabbed for my gun, but I was so excited that I could not reload it in time to be of service. Thinking discretion the belter part of valor, I crawled behind a tree and waited with much anxiety to see what the bear, who by this time had recovered him­ self, intended to do. He approached the tree and stood watching me. I thought my time had come. My head began to ache and my frame began to tremble, while coldbeads of perspiration were coursing down my face. He again made a rush for the spot where 1 was standing, but quick as a flash I hit him on the head with the barrel of the gun. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Now was my chance. I got from be­ hind the tre9 as quick as mv legs could cavry me and ran up to Ibarra er Ed­ wards' house, which was about a quar­ ter of a mile from where the incident occurred. I told him of my experience, and he at once hitclied up a team and drove to the scene of tho desperate con­ flict. There lay old bruin, stretched out bellowing like a bull. A bullet from the old man's gun put an end to his sufferings and we dragged him into the wagon and drove to Farmer Ed­ wards' house.

He informs you that there are extensive stores up­ stairs where much more beautiful things are to be seen. You think of tho beau­ tiful pri e likely to be charged, and that if once you accept these overt ares you are morally pledged to btiy some­ thing. As, however, you havo not at all made up your mind what, if any­ thing, you are going to buy, prudence dictates the expediency of immediate retreat. Shopmen, I presume, know their business best, and characters dif­ fer. But. for my part, I feel convinced that had I only been let alone to look at my leisure into the shop windows, I should have spent much more. As it is, I was constantly driven away by the overeagerness of the shopmen. * It was in nowise necessary for them to tell me I was at liberty to enter their shopn. I have never known a shopman yet who did not welcome the visit of a customer; but I have known many persons who liked to look without having to sustain a running fire of observations from a gushing salesman. Nevertheless, in time these importunities lose their de­ terrent effect, and soon the traveler's trunk is dangerously filled with dain­ ties in Salviatial glass in quaint mosaios, in beds, in coral, painted and plain photographs, model gondolas, all things highly impractical, and of no material use whatsoever, but that im­ part lightness, poetry, and charm to the home, and render the name of Ve­ nice a treasured memory, something synonomous with a thing of beauty.-- Venice letter. :£» A KAttlM ,_'4. I» Tell-Tale Footprints. In a letter to his friend Mr. Morritt, of Rokeby Park, Sir Walter Scott tells of a somewhat curious method which was employed in Galloway for the ar­ rest of a man who had put to death a young woman. The crime had been committed in a wayside cottage, and tne only possible clew was a footprint on the clay floor of the humble resi­ dence. Suspicion, however, fell upon a cer­ tain individual, a young man 1 iving in the same village. But on mere sus­ picion only no arrest could be m&de. The local minister, therefore, adver­ tised from the# pulpit that the girl would be buried on a certain day, and that all persons in the neighborhood were invited to attend the funeral to show their detestation of the crime, as well as to evince their own innocence. He calculated that by adopting this course he would be able to gather to­ gether every one in the locality. When the people had assembled in the kirk the doors were locked by the Sheriff's order, and the shoes of all the men were examined. By this plan the murderer--who was observed to dis­ play great nervousness and fear--was detected, a peculiarity in his jut* WEXH a singer's throat is^aw, yon can't expect her long to be wdU done.

Here is a singular, old-time story which has its significance for women of the present day. Wo find it in a history, long since out of print, of the leading families in an old town in Del­ aware : Mi9s V belonged'to a colonial family of high descent and great wealth. She had remarkable beauty and talents, and resolved, even in her childhood, only to marry a man who could elevate her to still higher social levels. With great difficulty she made herself a skilled musician, learned to speak French with the purest accent, and kept herself ac­ quainted with all the surface culture of the oapitals in Europe. Travelers of distinction in the colonies carried back to Europe reports of this marvel of beauty and wit, and led many others who followed them to seek her out. She was for years the friend and correspondent of Lafayette. Talley­ rand, the Due de Blancourt, and the Orleans Princes turned out of their route to find the obsenre Delaware home where she lived, and to pay hom­ age to her. Maria Antoinette called upon Dr. Franklin to tell her something of this "pearl of beauty in the wilderness, of whom she had heard so much," and sent her a fan, on which she wrote, "a la plus belle." Immediately after the devolution, curiosity led many nobles of England and France to visit the new Republic. And it was their habit, if they did not pay their respects in person, to send their cards and "hommagqs" to this beautiful woman. Meanwhile, she reigned like a queen in her native town. The other women looked up to her, as if she were net made of common clay, like themselves. "She had two peculiarities," says the historian, "which deepened, and gave a tinge of mystery to the curiosity and interest with which she was regarded. She seldom appeared on the village streets, and then, never on foot. And she always kept some part of her lovely face covered with a veil, or fan, or some other device." Miss V had many lovers, among whom were honorable gentlemen, who Bought her for herself, not for her wealth. Sbo was, it is said, deeply at­ tached to one of them. But she re­ fused them all, being resolved to marry only a man of title. A sudden fall iu stocks left her poor; and in the same year her brother's death threw his five orphaned children on her for support. She gave the re- maityier of her life to them, toiled hard for many years, fell out of public notice, and became, as years crept by, a with­ ered, homely, sad old woman, almost totally forgotten by the w<?rld. From time to time she sent for a clergyman, and debated with him the propriety of declaring her faith in Christ. But the hope of distinction was still too strong in her. Some dav, surely, she would reach the social throne whioli she had come to believe her right, and religious ties might stand in her way.--Youth's Companion.

The following experience of a lawyer was related by himself to the writer many years ago; He said--I was defending a prisoner for horse stealing, and seeing no other means of defending him under the oir- cumstances, I set up the plea of in­ sanity. I argued it at length, read many extraots from works on medical jurisprudence, and had the patient at-, tention of the Court. The prosecuting counsel did not attempt to reply to my argument or controvert my authorities; I seemed to have things my own way, and whispered to the prisoner that he needn't be uneasy. Then camje the Judge's charge, in which he reminded the jury that there was no dispute between counsel as to the facts of the cose. Indeed, there could not have been, for several wit­ nesses had sworn positively that they saw my client steal the horse. "But," concluded the Court, "the plea of in­ sanity has been set up, and I charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that it should receive your very grave and seri­ ous deliberation; but I must be allowed to say, gentlemen, that for my sell, upon a review of the whole case, I can discover no traces of insanity on the part of the prisoner, exefept, perhaps, in the selection of his counsel."--Western Exchange.
