The Blaekfcet, or Picgnns, as they call themselves, number approximate ly 2,700. The setting for this pictur esque trlbo Is a wonderful country, without a glimpse of which no picture of the Ulackfeet would he complete, Klsle K. Newton writes In the South ern Workman. The reservation Is In northern Montana ; In area It Is nbout two-thirds the size of Connecticut. It lies up next to Canada on the north and Glacier park on the west. The park was once n part of It, and ro tains many Indian names, such as Ooing-to-the-Sun mountain, Itislng Wolf mountain, Two Medicine lake and river, nnd others. From the splendid wldte-topped range on the west the country drops to rolling prairie eastward. It Is n region of bitter winds and storms for several months In (he ycnr. Closer to the mountains, there Is not n month when frost Is unexpected, and snow falls as late as Juno, liut as soon as the last ilake has disappeared the hill sides flame almost overnight with wild flowers. The splendor of them contliK ties throughout the short summer, one brilliant shade succeeding another.

' BRINGS HOME GRIM REALITY Taking It From Babies. "Every ounce of wheat products In excess of six pounds per month that you oat, Mr. American Citizen, Is (hat much literally taken from the mouths of the starving women and children of Prance," says a Food Administra tion bulletin. "Tho armed'wjjjr.i ranv 8oldlers Seldom Visualize Death Until They Have Had Their Training With the Bayonet Comparatively few of the men In the training camps have sensed the serious ness of their Job from book, writes Jo seph H, Odell, In the Outlook. Nor did it come to many of tlftm from the for mal drills, the setting-up exercises, or the acquisition of military terms and habits, The reality the grim but thrilling reality of their business Came ftom the bayonet. Men can stand at attention without paying attention; they can form col Ininns of fours automatically ; they can salute ns n matter of easily acquired habit ; they can learn the bugle calls by subconscious absorption ; but no man can wield the bayonet without visualiz ing dentil. The first nnd chief duty of tin; bayonet Instructor is to make men visualize death their own or their foe's. "You must get him before he gets you ; It's him or you, him or you, him or you 1" Then the ghastly seriousness of the business comes over the recruit; the dreadful alternative flashes along every nerve, and commands the muscles of the eyes, the legs, and the arms as they have never been commanded before. It searches his soul nnd marks him as a coward or a man ; it puts deep lines on his face nnd galvanizes his will; It changes him almost Instantaneously from a civilian to a soldier.

PALESTINE ip srm. ca sea 39o,cjpb His Last Years Busy Though Peace ful Ones and Death Result of Act of Self-Sacrifice. The closing years of the life of John Bunyan were peaceful, unlike In that respect the years that had gone before, but they were busy years, devoted to preaching, to the work of a pastor and teacher. Of these closing years, Froude, In his "Life of Bunyan," ed ited by John Morley, writes, "Happy In hla work, happy In the sense that his Influence was dally extending spreading over his own country, and to the far-off settlements In America, he spent his last years In his own land of Beulah, Doubting Castle out of sight, and the towers and minarets of Emmanuel '..and growing nearer and clearer as the rnys went on." His end was brought about by ex posure when be was engaged in an act of charity, A quarrel had broken out In a family at Beading with which Bunyan had some acquaintance. The father and son were at variance, and In the hope of reconciling them Bun yan journeyed from Bedford to Beading on horseback. He succeeded, but at the cost of his life. Returning by London, he was over taken on the road by a storm of rain nnd drenched to the skin. This brought on a chill. He reached the house of a London friend, Mr. Strud wlck, but he never left his bed after ward. In ten days he was dead. The exact date Is uncertain. It was to wards the end of August, 1088, be tween two and three months before the landing of King William. Bun yan was sixty years of age. He was burled In Mr. Strudwlck's vault In the burying ground at Bunhlll Fields. CAME FROM DAMAGED STOCK Idea of Blotting taper Was the Direct Result of Act of Careless Workman. Blotting paper, like many another valuable discovery, was found entirely by accident. One day In a paper mill In Berkshire, England, a careless work man forgot to put In the sizing and It was necessary to throw out the entire lot as spoiled. Later the angry pro prietor sat down to write a note and possibly for reasons of economy used a sheet of the condemned paper. To his Increased annoyance the ink spread all over the pnper and he was about to give up in disgust when the thought struck him that It might be possible to use the paper for absorbing Ink in place of the sand then universally used. After some successful experimenting he was able to dispose of his entire damaged stock under the name of blot ting paper. From that time on blotting paper came into general use. At first It was always pink In color, red rags being used. Bed was a fast color and diffi cult to blench, hence the red rags were useless In manufacturing writing pa paper. But ns tho color of blotting pn per did not Interfere with its useful ness, red or pink was as good a color ns any other, and thus provided a means of utilizing otherwise wasted material. GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS Experiments Have Shown These Pro duce the Same Effect as the Light of the Sun. It Is well known that glass exposed for long to sunlight acquires a violet tint. In very old houses the windows facing south nre often distinctly vio let. Experiments recently made in the laboratories of the General Electric company at Schenectady with X-rays prove that these can be used to dye glass In many colors, principally an amethystine violet and an amber yel low, but also green and bright yellow. These colors, nceordlng to Mr. Ro senthal, who conducted the experi ments, nre due to modifications of the physical structure of the glass and not to chemical alterations. The color can be made to penetrate to any desired depth, from a mere surface tint to complete coloration of the entire sub stance. And the same method can he applied to tinting porcelain, enamel nnd precious stones. An interesting nnd Important fact nbout this glass that has boon colored by long exposure to X-rnys la that It becomes Impervious to the radiations thnt have transformed It. Thus it can be used as a protection against the glare of the sun or the snow and against the X-rays themselves. with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reacn the seat or the disease.
