"When I was a boy," said Mr. Hasbin
Swift, "it was no trick at all for me to
handle a horee. I'd take the wildest
kind of an animal and run him once
around the track, and then he'd be
broke." "I suppose you enjoyed that
more than the horse did?" "I guess so.
But the horse got even. Now he runs
aronnd the track once, and when he gets
through I'm broke." Washington Star.
There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and eo admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family baa need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A , touch
of rbenmatisn. or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn or ecald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive im
mediate treatment before the parts be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
.orehroat may be cured before it be--comes
serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
-for a week or two. A lame back may be
- cared and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re--Jieved
without paying a doctor bill. Pro
cure a 50 cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and. until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
bloodjand mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars .for any
case it fails to cure. - Send " for circulars

JLNDIAJN KICE PICKEES.
How Tbey Inaugurate the Season
In the Wisconsin Fields.
The Exercises include the Execution and
Mock Eating of a Dog and the Welkin
Is Made to Kin ft by the Bed
men's Revels.
Up in Chippewa county, Wis., around
the shores of Bice lake, weird fires
break the darkness, during the August
nights, and the occasional lone white
man, camped in the neighboring wilder
ness, hears, apparently emanating from
the flames, unearthly kinds of noises,
echoing over the waters. This is the
season of the year the Chippewa In
dians come down from their settlement
on Sand lake to pick ' the wild rice
which grows in profusion at Bice lake,
about ten - miles from the village of
Cartwright.
Hundreds of braves and squaws and
papooses assemble on the. borders of
the lake, and the night is sometimes
made hideous with their historic dances
and revelries, says the Chippewa Falls
Herald.' Last season the rice picking
was inaugurated with the most solemn
dance in the traditions of the tribe
the dog dance. It requires a milk
white dog for the occasion, whose sac
rifice is demanded before the dance can
proceed, and while the animal's blood
is flowing from the wound which
causes its death, the dance is begun
and continues with the greatest fervor
until the dog has breathed its last. The
carcass is afterward baked in a boiling
pot of water and the Indians, after go
ing through an imitation of feasting
on the remains, bury it with exagger
ated ceremonies.
The next day rice-picking is, com
menced, and to those who never wit
nessed the mode of gathering the seed
the operations of the Indians are cer
tainly interesting. Several of the
tribe take a canoe, and while one pad
dles around through the rice fields, the
others knock the seeds from the heads
into the bottom of the .boat. After a
load is obtained it is rowad to shore,
where others await it to take charge
of the "curing" operations. It is
thrown into a large kettle, which
stands over a blazing lire, and is al
lowed to bake there until turned into a
beautiful brown. Then another set of
workers take charge of it, and it is sub
jected to the "stamping" operation. At J
this part of the proceedings the spec
tators are liable to become a little dis
gusted with the ' work. The rice is
.owered in a deer skin into a pit in the
;arth, and a swarthy Indian, stripped
Do the waist, jumps into the hole and
commences to stamp with all his
might. If he sees a doubtful expires
sion on the faces of those not familiar
with this method of cleaning the rice
he reassures them with the statement
that his "feet are heap clean, v wash
'em good before getting in," and goes
on with the arduous exercise amid
clouds of dust. After the foreign sub
stances . are thus removed it is set
away in baskets, ready for the market.
The rice is sold to stores and private
families for ten cents a pound. "About
six hundred bushels are gleaned yearly
and Che tribe is amply repaid for its
trouble in gathering and preparing it.
This year the yield has not been so
large as it has been in former seasons.
The plant is said to be gradually dying
out, owing to the manner in which the
Indians gather it, and it may require
only a few seasons more to kill it ef
fectually. The land on which it stands
is owned by a Menominee company and
is donated to the Chippewa tribe for
the picking.
After the rice season is over cranber
rying commences, and several weeks'
employment is obtained on the marshes
near Cartwright.
The White and Black Cross Fish.
Both China and Japan have long
been known as lands where rare forms
of both vegetable and animal life exist,
but I don't remember of ever: having
seen anything in print until lately con
cerning the "cross fish," a piscatorial
wonder which abounds in the fresh
waters of both countries.' The rarest
specimen of the two is the one known
to the Japs by a term signifying "the
fish of the black cross." It is a pink
colored fish (belonging to the goldfish
family), only about four inches long,
and seemingly almost transparent,
with the exception 6f a jet black cross
extending down the back, with side
arms pointing down and outward to
ward the lateral fins. The "white cross
fish" appears to be but a variety of the
above described species, resembling it
in general outline of form. In this
variety the skin is of a more decided
red and the tail broader and more flat
tened. It takes its common name from
the fact that both sides are marked
with perfect figures of white crosses. :
A Retrograding State,
The population of Vermont was
330,551 in 1870, 232,86 in 1880, and 332,
422 in 1890. In other words, the state
has been practically stationary for
twenty years, and during the decade
preceding 1890 the gain was only 136
souls. As Burlington, Rutland, Barrel
and some other large towns had sev
eral ' thousand more inhabitants ' in
1891 than in 1880, the smaller towns and
the rural communities, of course, lost
ground, and the extent of the loss is
illustrated in such facts as that during
this period the number of farms shrank
from 35.522 to 32,573, the total acreage
from 4, ' 82,588 to 4,795,636 and the im
proved acreage from 3,286,461 to 2,655,
943, .while the -unimproved acreage in
creased from 1,596,127 to 1,729,703, and
is now larger than in 1896.
Saluting the Princess.
An amusing scene occurred in Stutt
gart the other day. The king's daugh
ter, Pauline, always goes about in very
plain attire. ' On this occasion she
passed a sentinel who did " not recog
nize her and neglected to perform the
proper salutations. A sergeant across
the street made violent gestures to
make him grasp the situation, where
upon the guard said to the princess:
"Say; 'miss, the sergeant over there
wants to see you." .
