r Chief Crowfoot- The most interesting Indian I ever sawâ€" It Is stated that artificially colored dia- amon many kinds and many thousandsâ€" monds have been sold lately in Belgium. A was t a late Chief Crowfoot of the Blackfoot chemist finds out that on being dipped in a people.

But though Crowfoot was so royally clothed, it was in himself that the kingly quality was most apparent. His face was ex- traordinarily like what portraits we have of Julius Czcsar, with the difference that Crow- foot had the complexion of an Egyptian mummy. The high forehead. the great aquiline nose, the thin lips, usually closed, the small, round, protruding chin, 'the strong jawbones, and the keen gray eyes composed a face in which every feature was finely moulded, and in which the warrior, the commander, and the councillor were stron ly suggested. And in each of these roles eplayed the highest part among the Indians of Canada from the moment that the whites and the red men contested the dominion of the plains until he died, ashort time ago. ~ He was born and lived awild Indian, and though the cod fathers of the nearest Roman Catlio ic mission believe that he died a Christian, I am constrained to see in the reason for their thinking so only another proof of the consummate Ishrewdness of Crowfoot’s life-long policy. The old king lay on his death-bed in his great Wigwam, with twenty-seven of his medicine-men around him, and never once did he pretend that he despised or doubted their magic. When it was evident that he was about to die, the conjurers ceased their lon -continu- ed,exhs.".’ting formula of howling, rumming and all the rest, and, Indian-like, left Death to take his own. Then it. was that one of the watchful, zealous priests, whose lives have indeed been like those of fathers to the wild Indians, slip ed into the great. tcpee, and administers the last sacrament to the old pagan. ' “ Do you believe 2” the riest inquired. “ Yes, I believe," old rowfoot grunted. Then he whispered: “But don’t tell my people." Among the last words of great men, those of Saponaxitaw (his Indian name)may never be recorded, but to the student of the aborigine they betray more that is character- istic of the habitual attitude of the mind of the wild red man towards civilizinginilucnccs than any words I ever knew one to utter. As the old chief crushed the bunch-grass beneath his gaudy moccasins at the time I saw him, and as his lesser chiefs and head- men strode behind him, we who looked on knew what a rest part he was hearing and had taken in Canada. He had been chief of the most powerful and savage tribe in the North, and of several allied tribes as well, from the time when the region west of the Mississippi was tcrra. incognito to all except a few fur-traders and priests. His warriors ruled the Canadian wilderness, keeping the Ojibbeways and Cross in the forests to the east and north, routinl:r the Crows, the Stonics, and the Bigâ€"Bellies whenever they pleased, and yielding to‘no tribe they met. except the Sioux to the southward, in our territory. The first white man Crowfoot ever knew intimately was Father Lacombe, the notable old missionary, whose fame is now worldwide among scholars. The peace- ful priest and the warrior chief became fast friends, and from the day when the white men first broke down the border and swarm- ed upon the plains, until at the last they ran what Crowfoot called their “ fire‘wngons ” (locomotives) through his land, he followed the priest’s counselling in most important’ matters. He treated with the authorities, and thereafter lindered his braves from murdor, massacre, and warfare. Better i than that, during the Riel rebellion, be, ' more than any other man, 'or twenty men, kept the red men of the plains at peace when I French half-breeds, led by their mentally, irresponsible disturbor, rebelled against the ' Dominion authoritiesâ€"Julian Ralph. The Electric Headlight. The use of electric headlights has now be- come quite general in Indiana, nearly all the roads entering Indianapolis now having several in service. A representative of the Railroad Gazette made a trip over the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western from Indianapolis to Decatur lately on an engine equipped with the light. . Its power is approximately 2,500 candle power, and it gives the engincman a light which on a straight track will often reveal ob'ects at a mile or more, and for fully onc- ' half a mile all objects of the size of a cow 5 can be distinctly seen in ordinary weather. ‘ The greatest distance at which an object was i seen was ‘25 miles. This was a. window of a station house in which no lumps wore burn- ng. When the light was first reflected from 5 he window. the appearance was thatofa loco- I motive headlight about a mile away. The, window seemed to increase in size until at a distance of about three-quarters of a mile the . effect was that of a burning stucture. At! could be distinctly seen:~ These distances . were easily computed by counting the tele- l graph poles, which are 2200 feet apart on this ! roar . A water tank was sighted at- nearly a l mile, appearing lunch larger than it. really. was. Bridges with overhead trusses could! be seen at half a mile. The highway cross- l ing fences along the line had been freshly: whitewashed and With little cll'ort could be seen a mile. Collisions have been prevented by the use of these lights. The expense of running the light Is nominal. i The demand for steam from the locomotive _, is small, and thocarbons. which list eighteen _ hours. cost but 70 cents per IOO. l Wm... .... Be Warned.

Enemies of Tobacco Smoking. At the instance of several philanthropic ladies of high station “ Enemies of Tobac- co-Smoking" have been formed in St Peters- burg. Every member of such a “circle” pledges himself not to smoke and to dis- courage smoking in others. The money which such a member would spend on to- bacco or cigars from the time he joins the circle to Sept. 1, 1892, he pays to the socio- ty, to be sent to the famine-stricken com- munities. The Merl-lest Girl that’s Out. “Bonnie sweet Bessie, the maid of Dun- dee,” was, no doubt, the kind of girl to ask, “What are the wild waves saying?” or to put “ a little faded flower” in your button hole, she was so full of vivacity, and beamin with robust health. Every girl in the lan can bejust as full of life, just as well, andjust as merry as she, since Dr. Pierce has placed his “ Favorite Prescri - tion ” within the reach of all. Young gir in their teens, passin the age of puberty, find it a great aid. Delicate, pale and sick- 1y girls will find this a wonderful invigora- tor, and a sure corrective for all derange. meats and weaknesses incident to females. We are never made so ridiculous by the qualities we have as those we afi'ect to have. A Prominent Doctor Accused of Murder! A gentleman recently made a startling accusation in the hearing of the writer. Said he, “I firmly believe that Dr, -â€"â€", intentionally or unintentionally, killed my wife. He pronounced her complaintâ€"Con- sumptionâ€"incurable. She accepted the verdict, andâ€"died. Yet since then I have heard of at least a. dozen cases, quite as for advanced as hers, that have been cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Her life might have been saved, for Conâ€" sumption is not incurable.” Of course it is not. The “Discovery ” will remove every trace of it, if taken in time and used faith- fully. Consumption is a disease of the blood â€"a scrofulous affectionâ€"and the “ Discov- ery ” strikes at the root of the evil. For all cases of weak lungs, spitting of blood, severe lingering coughs and kindred ailments, it is a sovereign remedy. W'omen like bulls and assemblies as a hun- ter likes a place where game abounds.
