Wnaalla. ilia Pralrla Flower.
On the distant prairie where th heather
wll.l
In Its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Standi a little cottage, and a creeping
vine
Lores around Its porch to twine.
In that peaceful dwelling waa a lovely
child,
With her blue eye beaming soft and
mild, '
And the waving ringlet of her flaxen
hair,
Flontlng in the summer air.

T.tclif nf ih nrnlrta hnm 1A RUG.
Ev'ry one who knew her felt the magic
power
Of Rosalie, the prnlrle flower.
On thnt dlstnnt prnlrle when the days
were long,
Tripping like n fairy, sweet her song,
With the aunny blossoma and the blrda
nt play,
Beautiful and bright as they.
When" tho twilight shadows gathered In
the west.
And the voice of nature sunk to rest,
Like a cherub kneeling seemed the lorely
child,
With her gentle eye to mild.
CHORUS.
Fair a a Illy, Joyous and free,
Light of that prairie home was she.
Ev'ry one who knew her felt the gentlo

Of Iloaalle, th prnlrle flower.
But the summer faded and th chilly
blast
O'er that happy cottago awept at lost;
When the autumn blrda woke th dewy
morn,
Little prairie flower was gonel
For th angel whispered aoftly in her
ear,
"Child, thy Father calls thee; tay not
here."
And they gently boro her, robed In spot-

To tholr blissful home of light

Though w shall never look on her more,
Gone with the love nnd Joy ahe boro,
Far away ahe' blooming, in a fadeless

That slightly shake hi parting guest by

And farewell goe out sighing. O, let

For boauty, wit.

To cuvlous and calumniating tlmo.

That till, with on consent, praise now-

Though they are made and molded of

Aged Medical Man Lcnrucd Indian
Way of Cut-lug. I
Bent by the burdens of his 100
years, but still active and vigorous,
and busy every minute of the day In
tho performance of tho professional,
duties which have made him a famil
iar figure on the strcots of Mount Mor
ris, N. Y., for three-quarters of a cen
tury, Dr. David Miner, the solo sur-l
vlvor of tho Indian school of medtclno I
In tho cast, passed his centenary, snys
tho Rochester Herald. With skin tan-'
ncd nnd dried to pnrchment huo by
tho suns of a hundred summers, with
flowing locks nnd pntrlarchal beard
whitened by the snows of a hundred
winters, tho bright-eyed llttlo doctor,
who weighs Just ninety pounds, bus-,
tics about his business all day as
usual. Ho still gathers his own herbs
and roots, with the help of his son,
James Aesculapius Miner, nnd com-
pounds his own medlclno, as has been
bis custom for the last eighty years. t
Since tho death of Centenarian Dr.'
John P. Wood of CoffeevIIlo, Knn., '
who died within the twelvemonth, tile
distinction of seniority among the
members of tho medical profession be
longs to Dr. Miner, as he is to-day
tho oldest practicing physician In tho
world.
In his lBth year David Miner went
to llvo with the Oneida Indians. Ho
dwelt among them threo years, sharing
their fortunes, partaking of their faro
nnd making their life his own. From
Dr. Sharp Wing he learned tho arts,
tho beliefs and tho traditions which
formed tho stock in trade of tho In
dian medicine man. All his life ho hai
practiced the healing art as he learned
It nmong tho Indians. Ho remombors
that before ho went to live with tho
Indians Big Tree had been tholr chief.
it was no uncommon practlco for a
whlto man to take a squaw to wife.
It was, indeed, tho persistent overtures
of ono of tho chiefs, who doslrcd to
mnrry his daughter to David, which
resulted In the Inttcr's leaving tho
tribe. Although smnll in stature, Da
vid wns a handsomo, wiry youth, with
the suppleness so denr to tho savage
breast, and his knowledgo of wood
craft nnd medicine mado him a dcslra
bio son-in-law. David was greatly op
posed to the union, however, and soon
after returned to his own people.
During his residence among the
Oneida Indians Dr. Miner witnessed
tho sacrifice of an Indian squaw, who
wns believed by the Indians to bo a
witch. Unablo to fish In the lako on
account of the presence of ice, the
chiefs commanded tho squaw to exer
cise her power of witchcraft in the
In on king up of tho ice. Sbo protestod
thnt sho was unable .to do It. Cutting
n hole in the ice, tho bucks seized tho
struggling squaw and shoved her
through the opening under tho ice, so
that she was drowned. In three or
four days a thaw camo and tho lmrae
dlnto breaking up of tho ico confirmed
the Indians in tholr pagan belief in
sorcery nnd Incantation. Associating
in dally Intercourse with tho men of
tho forest glades, David becamo profi
cient In tho uso of tho Indian tonguo
nnd throughout his long llfo lias re
tained tho ability to convcrso under
standingly with tho Oncldas,

this superabundance of fresh water
may havo had its Influence in Inducing
thp salmon to go upstream. Tho Spec
tator says that many salmon Htny
around in tho sea nnd refrain from go
ing Into fresh water. It says, too, that
It has beon proved by marking tho
llsh that within tho spneo of flvo weeks
and two days a salmon of ten and ono
hnlf pounds has been found to grow to
twenty nnd ono-iunrtcr pounds. Noth
ing elso grows so fast.
Tho hiuiio Journal refers to the story
that salmon in our Western rivers push
each other ashore In their upstream
rush, nnd casts n doubt on this. Hut
perfectly trustworthy persons, of high
Intelligence and universally respected,
will vouch for it that thoy thomsolvos
havo seen tho banks of rivers In Brit
ish Columbia packed with dead salmon
which produced such a dlsagrccablo
atmosphere by renson of their disinte
gration that it was almost unbearable
for people who had to pass that way.
In the push of fish there Is not room
for thom in narrow parts and they aro
crowded right up on tho banks. There
Is no doubt of this, nnd It is among
the smaller anecdotes of the kind that
one will gather In a trip In fhftt part of

Fresh llsh from nearly every part of
tho world nro obtainable In any of the
larger markets. In fnct, tho demand
for dcnd llsh Is rapidly decreasing, epi
cures demanding that they bo in the
enjoyment of good health and spirits
almost up to tho moment they are
dropped Into tho frying pan.
A novel apparatus for tho cnrrlngo of
llvo llsh Iiiih Just been Invented by Dr.
N. Von Loroiie, of Murlenbrun, Aim
trln, which Is culled tho hydrobton, The
device Is based upon the Injection of
oxygen Into tho wutcr, contained in
tanks, during tho transportation. Tho
oxygoir injector Is placed at tho bot
tom of tho transportation tank, which
Is tilled with water and llsh. This oxy
gen Injector Is composed of n steel
cylinder containing compressed oxygen
gas. When tho rock, which Is n hori
zontal disk provided with uporturcs, Is
opened, tho oxygen is allowed to escape
through n reduction valve. Tho oxy
gon then passes through u regulating
valve attached to tbo reduction valve,
and thonco through a rubber, tubo Into
tho oxygon distributor. This latter Is
composed of a diaphragm of inorganic
material stretched across a porous cyl
indrical tube.
Tho gns, after coming Into this tubo
or distributor, Is Immediately diffused
and bubbles up through tho water con
taining the fish. These bubbles usceud
very slowly toward tho surfaco and
become dissolved therein to nn extent
that depends largely upon their ascen
sional velocity and tho degreo of gas
eous saturation In tho water. Tho non
utlllzed excess escapes at tho surface.
This solution of oxygen in tho water,
which Is obtained with a minimum
consumption of gas, is what keeps tho
fish alive, and Is constantly being re
newed as it is consumed by the latter.
Tho practical manipulation of the
hydroblon Is so slmplo that It can be
Intrusted to any person of ordinary In
telligence. All that has to be done by
the person In charge Is to turn on the
cock and take tho upparatus by Its
two handles and place it at the bottom
of tho tank containing the fish. It Is,
of course, necessary to regulato the
device according to tho amouut of wa
ter In tho tank and the number of fish
contained therein, and according to the
amount of oxygen consumed by the
vurlous kinds of fish. Finally, It la
necessary also to regulate tho capacity
of oxygen according to the time to be
consumed In tbo transportation. The
Inventor has calculated all such data
for most varieties of fish, which In all
likelihood may bo transported, so that
the person employing the apparatus
lias only to follow once for all the
Indications determined by tho Inventor.
