never were ufflicteld with small

nor any other of theiills and blood

made such terrible inroads upon
the numbers and vitality of the
red men of this count!
The only bodily afliirtions which
Dr. Kempt reports tolthe Medical
Record that he found among the
aborigines were feveits and dis
eases produced by cold, such as
pleurisy, pneumonia, raemnatism,
dysentery and wounds!from acci
dents or .battle. Na til rally the
•remedies $>f the Indiam! were sim
^rteiind few in number. iVhcnsick
an Indian refused all ikinds of
stimulating aliments, l>mr drank
profusely of cold water. \ In addi
tion to this, in proper e;|ses, the
Indians! resorted to sweating,
purging, vomiting and Uleeding,
and finally, when all remedies
seemed to be ineffectual, tttic med
icine man was called in toltry his
amulets and incantations jon tin*
patient. \
These methods of cure are still
resorted to among blanket Indi
ans who are removed from ^he in
fluences of civilization. Hut be
fore we smile or condemn these
practices we should consider our
own history. It was only a, few
generations ago that our ideas of
medicine were almost as crude as
those of the Indians. The more in
telligent of the white people then,
of course, did not resort to magic
and incantations, hut the concoc
tions they manufactured to cure
diseases almost pass belief,

FOUND IN ANCIENT RUINS.
Discoveries Lately Made at Olbia K»
veal Facts of Interest Concern
ing Grecian Life.
Interesting and valuable arch
aeological discoveries have been
made an the site of the ancient
< ireek city Olbia, report s a London
paper. Tin* site is situated on the
southern bank of the Boug, about
midway between OtchakotT and
Nicolaieff, and not far distant
from the estuary of the IUieiper.
This ancient city was a colony of
Miletus (555 15. ('. and was a great
center for < ireek trade wit h the in
terior. It is generally maintained
among archaeological authorities
that a trade route extended from
Olbia across country to the north
ern sea, and when a find of an
eient Greek coins was made it was
contended to he substantial proof
of the fact. Recently, however, it
was proved that these coins were
spu rions.
Olbia was destroyed by the*
Getae about 70 to (10 B. O., but it
revived and when it was visited by
Dion Chrysostum about 100 A. 1).
it was again a flourishing city.
The excavations that are now in
progress about the site of this city
are being carried out by M. For
tnakovski under the auspices of
the Russian Archaeological soci
ety. M. Formakovski has sue
ceeded in unearthing extensive :
portions of the walls and founda
tions of the original city, which '
date back from the seventh ren
tury B. C. The masonry is iden- I
tical with that of the ruins of an
cient cities excavated in various j
parts of Greece. Before this depth !
was reached two different strata j
of wqlls and basements bearing!
descriptions of thefonrthand first
ceutnries 11. were encountered.
The stone blocks composing the
ruins of the houses, temples, etc.,
in these upper strata are of re
markably exact area, square pro
portions and excellentTy dressed.
The more solid constructive work
is, however, found in the remains
of the original city. At this depth
there was unearthed a perfectly
preserved wine rvllar. Some 50
huge jars or vases had evidently
contained red wine, now turned to
n light powdery substance. A
large collection of valuable an
tiques in gold, marble and a-ncient
pottery has also been found in
those newly uncovered ruins.
These have been dispatched to the
Hermitage at St. Petersburg. M.
FormakovRki, however, is careful
ly examining every antique un
enrthed, to establish its genuine
character, as it was on this site
that the spurious tiara of Saita
pharnes, now in the Louvre, waa al
leged to have been discovered.
POCKET MONEY MEN CARRY'
Interesting Developmsnts of an Imt
proroptu Investigation
in a Cafe.
An investigation of how minch
money is carried by different peo
ple as a safeguard against the un
foreseen emergencies of daily life
may be counted on always to afford
some surprise, says the Philadel
phia. Record.
In a group of six ■ ■ "i who com
pared notes in a downtown cafe
the other day the sum total of the
emergency fund was $26.58, mak
ing an average of $4.4:1 for each
man; but of this amount one man
carried a $20 bill in his wallet, and
another a $5 bill. A third had$l
tucked away and a fourth kept a
50 cent piece in his watch pocket,
which, lie explained, was always
there, and which was sufficient to
send a telegram or use a ’phone.
These four carried the sums men
tioned,as a regular habit. “I have
' eight cents loose in my pocket'
saift the next witness. “It may h *
$2 or $3 to-morrow, and the next
day some other sum. I never real
ly thought of the matter before.”
The $20 man regarded him with a
mixture of pity, admiration and
awe.
“This is all I have,” said the last
man, who happened to l>e the
wealthiest of the party, and he
held np two exchange tickets.
“I’ve always taken it for granted
that In case of need I would be able
to raise money, even if I had to bor
row from the policeman or the
street car conductor.”

Frenchmen.
A thousand franc rote proved
tire undoing of three Frenchmen
not long ago. The note belonged
to a lady who had the misfortune
to lose it while walking along the
streets of Paris. It was picked np

placed it very cjvreful'ly in liis
pocket and proceeded home. It is
not often that a chair nneader has
occasion to change*:! note for that
amount, and Kenaad. recognizing

FOR WOMEN WHO THINK.
Good Counsel Concerning Grave Perils
of Social Organizations in
This Country,
No better advice lias been of
fered to woman—the intelligent,
educated, influential woman of
America—than that spoken by Mr.
James It. Angel!, president of the
University of Michigan, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
“High privileges are opened to
educated women in this country at
this time, and consequently seri
ous duties are laid upon thorn.
There is a strong tendency among
them to associate action in many
directions. Women’s clubs for
literary, musical, philanthropic
and social ends are everywhere or
ganized. With so many facilities
for combined action, there is, in
mv judgment, a loud call for them
So do something to shield tbeirsex
from some grave perils.
“Certain customs which are
rapidly gaining ground among
women in what are- called the
higher social circle* demand a
vigwrmi* effort on rfte part of in
telligent and high-minded women
to secure the elimination of the
element of gambling Atom amuse
mein'i anti games innocent in
then vHVesiv
“Furthermore, we Have a right
to expect from educated women
pronounced1 condemnattinn rather
than indulgent views*of the rap
idly growing practice^ tor which
both sexes are guiltily responsi
ble, of procuring under loose la ws,
laxly administered, du.orees on
trivial grounds or by collusion,
and of contracting subsequent
ma rriagufr wit h u nsee ml V ha s t e.
“In some quarters, and in what
calls itsHf our best society,.the re
nunciation of the solemn marriage
row on slight pretext(be
playing of' game’s forrstakcHi by
women tin private parlors are
treated with a levity and publicly
discussed’ with an ndifference
which recall's the declining days
of the •Romna empire.
“The purify of domestic life, the
sanctity >yT the home;, tire very
foundations' of society are iinjier
iled by th^se-abuses. Theeducat
ed and bigfl-minded womanshould
by word'aurf by example sound the
alarm concerning them with no
