AN INDIAN CEREMONY THE "MEDICINE SWEAT" THAT MAKES THE RED MAN CLEAN. It Is His Turkish Bath, So to Speak, and It Is to Him a Rite, Bath Physical and Spiritual—Making Medicine to the Great Spirit. Few, if any, of the writers on the habits, folklore and history of the American Indian have devoted any space to the red man's Turkish bath, an institution homemade, to be sure, but a recognized necessity in every camp and a feature of the daily life of the Indian. On the contrary, commentators have conveyed the impression that habits of cleanliness are foreign to the Indian and that he has an inborn aversion to water except for culinary purposes. By the avidity and frequency with which the Indian indulges in his homemade Turkish bath he proves the fallacy of this belief and shows that he, as well as his white brother, can live up to the precept "Cleanliness is next to godliness," only in the practice the Indian puts cleanliness first. The term Turkish bath is unknown to the Indian. He calls that method of ablation a "medicine sweat." It is to him a rite both physical and spiritual, for be cleanses his person and then "makes medicine" to his Great Spirit. That the rite is religiously observed was shown by a band of Brule Sioux Indians, who made a journey across the continent to the east and went into encampment in, to them, a strange land. On their arrival, even before they raised their tepee poles, they erected a "medicine sweat" tent. The framework of this tent is of hoop poles so trained that it is about nine feet in diameter, four feet high, flat topped and almost circular in form. Just within the framework there is a bedding of straw about two feet wide, and in the center of the tent there is a whole in the ground about three feet in diameter and three feet deep. There are no steam vents or pipes, no marble slabs, no rubbers and no sheets. When the Indian is ready for his "medicine sweat" a number of stones or rocks are heated to almost white heat and dumped into the hole in the ground. Then the red men, 20 or 25 of them, in talns is thought to be in the hills of Osmond 400 and 500 miles away. Being situated at the bottom of the gulf, it is a mystery how they were ever discovered, but the fact remains that they have been known since the dawn of history. ANIMAL LIFE. The army worm is essentially a grass eating insect, though it often feeds upon other plants, and is said to prefer oats to corn. The malaptecurus, a fish only eight inches long, can develop a shock of 260 volts of electricity in the two-thousandth part of a second. Several pairs of pigeons which a scientist has observed in Paris have raised their young in nests made entirely of hairpins collected on the paths of the Luxembourg. The largest nest in the world is built by the mound bird, a sort of Australian fowl. It makes mounds sometimes 150 feet in circumference, in which it buries its eggs five feet deep. The heaviest bird that files is the great bustard. In size it exceeds the Norwegian blackcock. The old males weigh about 35 pounds, but when food is plentiful the young males may weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were formerly as plentiful in western Europe as partridges. Now they are rarely found. St. Christopher. The belief was that any one who looked at a representation of St. Christopher was safe for that day from an evil death. The saint was always portrayed of colossal size and is so painted at the entrance of most Spanish cathedrals that all may see him. None of the many carved figures of this saint approaches in size one which was removed from Notre Dame at Paris in 1785. It was said that St. Christopher's original occupation was to carry people across a stream, and the legend is that once a child presented himself to be conveyed over. At first his weight was what might be expected from his infant years, but presently it began to increase and so went on till the ferryman was like to sink under his burden. The child then said: "Wonder not, my friend. I am Jesus, and you have the weight of the sins of the whole world on your back." Hence St. Christopher is represented carrying the infant Savior. Difficult Digestion That is dyspepsia. It makes life miserable. Its sufferers eat not because they want—but simply because they must. They know they are irritable and frightful but they cannot be otherwise. They complain of a bad taste for mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the mouth, an uneasy feeling of puffy headache, heartburn and what not. The effectual remedy, proved by potent cures of thousands of severe cases, Hood's Sarsapari Continued from First Page. ply. Local, district, and even associations have been formed; agencies for securing market rights for superintending the distribution; and for diverting shipments from 10 point as indicated by the latest graphic advices. Even when in potent hands and honestly admitted these associations have not been successful, since products being forward at the same time for many different competing sections it has not been possible for them keep posted as to the movement; the different points, especially unusually high price from any generally attracts shipments to many quarters. Any plan that really accomplish the result of glutts would be of untold value; the entire trucking interest, being equally both growers and dealers. During the last few years an experiment has been tried in the nation of a national organization purpose by the formation of theican Fruit Growers' Union. The regularly chartered company, or any bona fide fruit grower may be a member by paying $1 as a cent payment on one share stock, the shares being non-assessed. The members are required to themselves to ship no fruit or produce commission, but either to "medicine sweat" tent. The framework of this tent is of hoop poles so trained that it is about nine feet in diameter, four feet high, flat topped and almost circular in form. Just within the framework there is a bedding of straw about two feet wide, and in the center of the tent there is a whole in the ground about three feet in diameter and three feet deep. There are no steam vents or pipes, no marble slabs, no rubbers and no sheets. When the Indian is ready for his "medicine sweat" a number of stones or rocks are heated to almost white heat and dumped into the hole in the ground. Then the red men, 20 or 25 of them, in a costume even scantier than Adam's after the fall, range themselves upon the straw. They sit mummy fashion, their chins on their knees and their arms around their shins, packed so close together that even if they would they could not move. When they are all ready, blankets, skins and canvas are thrown over the framework until the tent is almost air-tight, two or three buckets of water are passed in and thrown upon the hot stones and the "medicine sweat" begins. The moment the steam begins to rise the Indians begin a chant, which is kept up without interruption until the sweat is over. Packed together, enveloped in steam so thick that none can see his neighbor, the Indians sit singing and perspiring for an hour or more. Not an Indian moves. He neither can nor wants to. At a signal from the chief or the medicine man a section of the tent is torn away, and with a heave and a whoop all the bucks make pellmell for the water. A run and a jump, and in they go. It is just as much sport for the oldest warrior as for the boy who has not yet won his war bonnet. Once more on land, the Indian, having performed a duty he owes to himself and his neighbor, is ready to "make medicine." This is always done after the "medicine sweat"—in fact it is part and parcel of the ceremony, for it is regarded as a ceremony. The Indian, clean in person and at this moment, before his communion with the God of his fathers, supposed to be equally clean of mind and guilleless of soul, now proceeds to the highest point of land in the vicinity of the camp, thus getting as near to the Great Spirit as it is possible to do while on earth. On the way he gathers up a little soil, a stray leaf, some old tobacco quids, a dead fly or bug or two—in fact anything which may be deemed refuse for he is about to convey to the Great Spirit that he has cleansed his person and that all things unclean have gone from him. These things that he has gathered he places in a piece of white cloth, which in turn is fastened to the end of a long stick. The other end of the stick is thrust into the ground at the top of the hill or knoll, and the good Indian has made medicine. Two days seldom pass without the repetition of this ceremony. It never varies. The scene may change, the Indian may wander to new lands or be driven to them, but where he is there also is his "medicine sweat" tent and there he "makes medicine." New York Times. HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH It is Bahrstein, on the Southwestern Coast of Persia. It was said that St. Christopher's original occupation was to carry people across a stream, and the legend is that once a child presented himself to be conveyed over. At first his weight was what might be expected from his infant years, but presently it began to increase and so went on till the ferry-man was like to sink under his burden. The child then said: "Wonder not, my friend. I am Jesus, and you have the weight of the sins of the whole world on your back." Hence St. Christopher is represented carrying the infant Saviour across a river with the globe in his hand. St. Christopher has an interesting place in the history of typography in consequence of a wood engraving of his figure, supposed to be of date about 1423, being the earliest known example of that art. Unknown Canada. One-third of the area of Canada is practically unknown. There are more than 1,250,000 square miles of unexplored lands in Canada. The entire area of the Dominion is computed at 3,450,257 square miles; consequently one-third of this country has yet been untraveled by the explorer. Exclusive of the inhospitable detached arctic portions, 964,000 square miles are for all practical purposes entirely unknown. Most of this unknown area is distributed in the western half of the Dominion in impenetrated blocks of from 25,000 to 100,000 square miles—that is, areas as large as the states of Ohio, Kansas or New England are yet a secret to white man.—National Geographic Magazine. One Hundred a Good Many. The manufacturer and the doctor were having a quiet little smoke. A middle aged man sauntered in, spoke genially to both gentlemen and passed on. "Doc, who was that?" "Why, that was James Brown of?" "Do you know," the manufacturer said by way of reply, "I meet men scores of them, just like that every day whose names I can't recall?" With just a shade of superior ability the doctor replied: "Well now, among all the men and women I know I call most all by name as I greet them. I tell you it's a trick of the profession." "That may be, doc—but I doubt if you can write down in fifteen minutes 100 names of people you know personally." The doctor jumped to his feet and said, scornfully: "Jingoes! I can." "All right. I bet a box of cigars on it." The doctor, penell in hand, was soon hard at work. "Time!" The manufacturer's watch snapped shut, and as he looked over the doctor's shoulder he counted 63. They finished their cigars in silence—but the next morning the manufacturers' friends chuckled audibly over the doctor's professional knowledge of applied psychology.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH It is Bahrein, on the Southwestern Coast of Persia. The hottest region on the earth's surface is on the southwestern coast of Persia, on the border of the Persian gulf. For 40 consecutive days in the months of July and August the mercury has been known to stand above 100 degrees in the shade night and day and to run up as high as 130 degrees in the middle of the afternoon. At Bahrein, in the center of the most torrid belt, as though it were nature's intention to make the place as unbearable as possible, water from wells is something unknown. Great shafts have been sunk to a depth of 100, 200, 300 and even 500 feet, but always with the same result—no water. This serious drawback notwithstanding, a comparatively numerous population contrives to live there, thanks to copious springs which burst forth from the bottom of the gulf more than a mile from the shore. The water from these springs is obtained in a most curious and novel manner. "Machadores" (divers), whose sole occupation is that of furnishing the people of Bahrein with the life giving fluid, repair to that portion of the gulf where the springs are situated and bring away with them hundreds of bags full of the water each day. The water of the gulf where the springs burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but these machadores manage to fill their goatskin sacks by diving to the bottom and holding the mouths of the bags over the fountain jets—this, too, without allowing the salt water of the gulf to mix with it.

The Sinus of Nutrition. To overload the stomach with food is not less unhealthy than to indulge it with beverages. The more nutritious the food the more hazardous are the consequences when excess is habitual. Of all the sins of nutrition, the immoderate use of meat is certainly the most grievous. It gives to the body in a form that is favorable for easy assimilation the albumen that is absolutely necessary to life, and hence the earliest effect of its excessive use must be to surcharge the body with nutrients. The chief point here is the critical examination of what is called hunger. Many persons believe that any and every sensation of hunger must be satisfied immediately, but this is a great mistake. An equally great if not worse mistake is the opinion that one must eat until a sense of satiety arises. Excessive nutrition injures the mental capabilities also. Of the particular consequences of excessive nutrition, such as hypochondria (the very name of which refers the reader to the region of the abdomen) and the gout, it is hardly necessary to speak.—Blatter Fur Volksgesundheitspflege. Our Daughters. The household blessed with noble daughters ought to be a happy one. Ruskin says that most parents forget, however, to imbue them with a love of nature which is so invigorating and healthful. "Give them," says he, "not only noble teachings, but noble teachers, and give them the help which alone has sometimes done more than all other influences—the help of wild and fair nature. You cannot baptize them rightly in Irish deep church fonts unless you baptize them also in the sweet waters which the great Law Giver strikes forth from the rocks of your native land. You cannot lead them faithfully to those narrow, ax hewn church altars while the azure altars in heaven remain, for you, without inscription; altars built not to, but by, an unknown God." Difficult Digestion What is dyspepsia. Uses life miserable. Sufferers eat not because they want to, but simply because they must. They know they are irritable and fretful; they cannot be otherwise. They complain of a bad taste in the mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the stomach, uneasy feeling of puffy fulness,ache, heartburn and what not. The effectual remedy, proved by perma-cures of thousands of severe cases, is Wood's Sarsaparilla. Hood's PILLS are the best cathartic. Continued from First Page. Local, district, and even State associations have been formed, with societies for securing market reports, superintending the distribution, for diverting shipments from point point as indicated by the latest tele-obic advices. Even when in comment hands and honestly administer these associations have not always been successful, since products are go-forward at the same time from so many different competing sections that has not been possible for them to post as to the movement from different points, especially as an unusually high price from any market generally attracts shipments from nearby quarters. Any plan that would easily accomplish the result of avoid-gluts would be of untold value to entire trucking interest, benefiting both growers and dealers. During the last few years an extensive experiment has been tried in the direction of a national organization for this purpose by the formation of the American Fruit Growers' Union. This is a regularly chartered company, of which my bona fide fruit grower may become member by paying $1 as a 10 per payment on one share of the stock, the shares being non-assessable. The members are required to pledge themselves to ship no fruit or produce commission, but either to sell at the shipping point, which is always advised when such sale is possible, or through the regular accredited agents of the union. The central office is to be immediately informed by wire of the nature and destination of all shipments, and these are liable to be diverted to any other market than the one indicated by the shipper, at the discretion of the central office. Theoretically, this is an almost perfect system of distribution; but if the union ever succeeds to such an extent as to be required to handle any very considerable percentage of the total produce shipments of the country, its central office will be confronted with a business so complicated and with responsibilities so heavy as to be fairly appalling.—Year-Book of the Department of Agriculture, 1900. Agriculture on the Yukon The outlook for gardening and some agriculture in the cold region of Alaska along the Yukon is made quite encouraging by official reports recently received at the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. Prof. C. C. Georgeson, who is in charge of the Alaska experiment stations, has spent the summer in the interior and along the Yukon Valley, visiting the experiment station established by the Department of Agriculture last year at Rampart, just outside the Arctic Circle, and other points where experiments were arranged for. Good gardens were found all along the route, especially at Eagle City and Holy Cross Mission. Although the season was unusually late this year, new potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, beets and other vegetables were ready for the table before the middle of August, and lettuce, radishes and turnips, grown in the open, had been in use for some weeks. Flower gardens containing a large variety of annuals grown from seed furnished last year were in full bloom. At the station at Rampart, rye, seeded the previous fall, wintered perfectly and was ripe in July. Spring seeded barley had ripened about the BORROMEO THE NEW TOWN AT THE DOOR OF THE OIL FIELD BORROMEO is the newest town in Orange county; it is on Col. J. K. Tuffree's great ranch in Placentia. This ranch is the very gateway to Orange County's splendid oil field and affords a site second to none in the state for a manufacturing town of large size. Tues. Oct. 15 Is the date set for opening the town, and at that time auction sale will be made of a few 10 and 20-acre tracts and city lots.. Already a big warehouse, from the site of which San Pedro harbor can be seen, is nearing completion. Streets and alleys of liberal dimensions will next be turned to. Then there is a pipe-line project for the conveyance of natural gas to the city for lighting and domestic purposes and a line for oil for steam purposes. A feature among the most important of all to the coming city is the abundance of both subterranean and ditch water available. Wells on the site produce the finest water in the county. One railroad has been surveyed, negotiations are in progress for another. Railroad companies wanting free right of way should apply to Col. Tuffree Before October "Crying for the Moon" Has become a proverbial phrase to express the futility of mere desire. There are a great many people who think it is useless to hope for health as to cry for the moon. They have tried many medicines and many doctors, but all in vain. A great many hopeless men and women have been cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; people with constipate coughs, bleeding lungs, night sweats and other symptoms of disease which if neglected or unskillfully treated and a fatal termination in consumption. Golden Medical Discovery has a wonderful healing power. It increases the nutrition of the body, and so gives strength to throw off disease. It cleanses the blood from poisonous impurities and enriches it with the red corpuscles of health. It is not a stimulant, but a strong giving medicine. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any narcotic. Sometimes the extra profit paid by inferior medicines tempts the dealer to offer a substitute as "just as good" as "Discovery." If you are convinced that "Discovery" will cure you accept nothing else. I was in poor health when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine, writes Mr. Himerawler, of Volga, Jefferson Co., Indiana. I was not able to do anything wrong. I had a severe cough and ammonia and deprived of the lungs, but after your medicine a while I commenced to train in strength and flesh, and stopped coughing right away. Took about six bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery then, and last spring I had Oripe, and it settled on my lungs, and allowed me to feel like different person. I readily recommend your medicine to all sufferers, for I know it cured one. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure conspiration by curing its cause. The department of agriculture has issued a report on the general agricultural conditions in the Pacific coast region. It says that although the tendency for the past twenty-five years has been towards a gradual reduction in the area of individual farms and ranches; they are still of a size much larger than the average farm of the east, or even of the middle west. This is particularly true of California. Another distinctive feature, especially in the great valley areas of California, is the use of machinery of great capacity, which means an economy of human labor, but also means a waste of grain. Every effort is made to combine several operations into one. Transportation of the enormous quantity of Pacific coast wheat has been reduced to a science. A large saving is made by loading ships directly from cars, trains being run from the wheat fields to tide water at a very few hours' notice. In Washington and Oregon, however, the wheat is run through an elevator, where it is recleaned and mixed with other grades of wheat to bring it to the required standard grade, after which it is resacked and loaded on the vessels or cars for final shipment. About 28,450,000 bushels of wheat are exported annually from the Pacific coast with a total value of all to the coming city is the abundance of both subterranean and ditch water available. Wells on the site produce the finest water in the county. One railroad has been surveyed, negotiations are in progress for another. Railroad companies wanting free right of way should apply to Col. Tuffree Before October AFTER THE ANARCHISTS President Roosevelt wants to Know What Can Be Done. President Roosevelt is giving his personal attention to the solution of the problem of the more effective exclusion of anarchists from the United States. He wants to know first whether anything more can be done under the laws as they now stand, and for this purpose he had a conference at the White House some days ago with Commissioner General of Immigration Powderly to learn exactly what is being done and whether there are any loopholes through which anarchists now come in which can be stopped without further legislation. Upon the results of his talk with Powderly may depend very largely the character of the recommendations she "My Head! My Head!" Sudden Blindness and Dizziness. What Causes It? The first step to the finding of a cure for any disease is to find its cause. And it's a notable fact that the cause of a manifestation, Headache, spots before the eyes and dizziness are only symptoms of disease. When the experienced physician is confronted with these symptoms in a woman he enquires at once as to the condition of the womanly health. He knows that the general health is intimately related to the local womanly health, and from the very symptoms he argues derangement or disease of the Delicate womanly organism. So far he is right. But when he begins to treat the disease he has located how often he continued medicine until nine bottles of Dr. Pierce's prescription and nine bottles of Medical Discovery and his 'Pleasant Pellets.'

About 28,450,000 bushels of wheat are exported annually from the Pacific coast, with a total value of about $20,000,000. Of the 2,000,000 barrels of flour annually shipped from the Pacific coast ports during the past ten years, nearly one-half is cleared at San Francisco. The report says it has taken about 36,000-000 bushels of wheat to supply the foreign markets with Pacific coast wheat and flour. Of this amount California ports furnished more than 20,000,000 bushels. Another Bulletin on irrigation in California, based on investigations of experts and special agents, urges that the State should ascertain the volume of available irrigation water, define all right to use, already acquired or to be acquired hereafter, and provide an efficient system of water administration. Recommendations to this end include the creation of a State Board of Control of Waters, making unappropriated waters State property, limitation of all appropriations to actual beneficial use, and attachment of all rights to water to land irrigated. Lawyers Disagree. Victor Montgomery has brought an action against Julius Brousseau for an accounting of their former law partnership business. Montgomery alleges their relations as partners were dissolved by mutual consent in October 1898, with the understanding that outstanding fees should be divided when collected. He claims Brousseau has collected large fees, but has not accounted to him for his share. The court is asked to assist in bringing about a settlement, upon which the former partners cannot agree.

Her family physician said she could not get well. Yet what seven doctors failed to do was perfectly and permanently accomplished by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There is no experiment in the use of this medicine. It has cured thousands of women of the most distressing forms of womanly disease. WHAT CURED ME WHEN OTHERS FAILED. "For ten years I suffered with female trouble, also catarrh of the stomach, liver and kidney troubles, and catarrh of the bladder," writes Mrs. Lottie M. Douglass, of Glenmore, Oneida Co., N.Y." I would have very hard headaches and blind spells; stomach and bowels used to bloat a great deal, and I was troubled with bearing-down pains all the time. Tongue cannot tell how much I suffered from nervousness. I used to think I should lose my mind, my head would feel so bad that the least excitement, and even to turn over in bed, would cause palpitation. Had female weakness so bad for three years that I was in bed most of the time, in fact could scarcely be on my feet at all. I tried seven different doctors, but received no lasting benefit. I was entirely discouraged when I wrote to Dr. Pierce, stating my case. He advised me to try his remedies, and I did so. The first bottle I took helped me, and the plaster began to go out of my stomach. diseases which had failed in treatment of local physician in many cases, as in that glass, had been pronounced. Many women write to his medical advice and fatherly counsel which are of more than thirty years in success. Dr. Pierce gives woman the privilege of free with him by letter.

Sugar War. The cane-sugar trust has now made a total reduction of 70 cents on refined sugar. This means a loss, so it is estimated, of $300,000 on the output for the season to the Oxnard, Alamitos and Chino factories. A Los Angeles jobber gives the following as the cause of the fight: "The question of importing Chinese sugar is not at issue. The real cause dates back several years, and to even up matters, Claus Spreckels is after the Oxnard and Clark interests. "Formerly the Oxnards sent their sugar to the Spreckels refinery to be refined. During the past seasons inventive genius has devised a method that makes the Clarks and the Oxnards apply a process by which their product is refined at their own factories. This method produces what is called 'washed sugar,' and the product is nearly as white as the refined article, and can be used for all purposes to which refined sugar is applied—with the possible exception of canning certain fruits." Best sugar, it is said, is now selling at $4.80 per hundred pounds to the jobbers direct from the factories. This price also, it is asserted, is approaching the cost of production. As the beet sugar is now coming on the market, this being the height of the sugar campaign, the cuts of 10 points each of August 5 and August 19 are regarded by Los Angeles jobbers as more than significant. The sugar factories at Oxnard, Los Alamitos and Chino are employing over five hundred men.

"I had been in poor health for four years back and this spring got so bad I could not do my work. I went to the doctor and he said I had ulceration and falling of the internal organs. I thought I would try your 'Favorite Prescription.' I took five bottles and three of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and one vial of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and I can safely say that I never felt better in my life." No sick woman should accept her condition as incurable or beyond help until she has given Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a fair and faithful trail. The wonderful curative power of this medicine has been best proven in the cures of long standing diseases which had failed to yield to the treatment of local physicians, and which in many cases, as in that of Mrs. Douglass, had been pronounced incurable. Many women write to Dr. Pierce for his medical advice and the wise and fatherly counsel which are the outcome of more than thirty years of practice and success. Dr. Pierce gives to every sick woman the privilege of free consultation with him by letter. This offer is not to be confounded with those offers of free medical advice made by men or women who are not physicians and are not qualified legally or medically to give the advice they offer. All correspondence is held as sacred, and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his daily personal consultation with sick women.
