CURING SICK IN PATAGONIA
Father Drives Daughter, ill With
Measles, Through Cold in Order to
Freeze Out the Demons.
The savage tribes of Patagonia be
lieve that a great, good spirit creat
ed the world, but that the affairs of
everyday life are in the hands of
the evil spirit and his imps. A novel
way of combating the influence of
the latter is shown in the following
story:
“One day, when the snow was
lying deep on the Cordillera moun
tains, suddenly two figures appeared
upon the scene, both carried by gal
loping horses. One of them was a
! heavy-built Tehuelche, dressed in a
j skin loincloth and cloak and mount
ed on a gigantic horse. Upon the
other horse, which was old and se
date, sat a young girl, looking for
lorn and pitiable. Though the winds
were bitter and cold, she lacked al
most every last shred of protection.
Her face and body were blotched
with the rash of well-developed
measles. She stared before her,
neither hope nor despair showing in
her features. But the big barbarian
constantly raised his rawhide whip
to lash the poor animal on which the
girl was riding, thus urging it into
a gallop. Unearthly shrinks filled
the air each time the whip descended
on the emaciated trunk of the poor
brute.
“These* two were father and
daughter. Demons had haunted his
home and had found his daughter a
ready victim. But demons hate cold
and noise, hence this was the sim
plest way of compelling the hateful
enemies to break camp and to return
to their mountain caves.”
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
“Why do I call ’em the cutlery
family? Well, the daughter spoons,
the father forks out the money, and
the mother knifes the other guests.”
LESS TUBERCULOSIS NOW.
Before mechanical exhausts were
I generally used to carry off industrial
i dusts the tuberculosis mortality of
| buffers, grinders and polishers ex
i ceded 60 per cent in contrast to the
j normal 14 per cent of the registra
tion area.
PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Mean Patron—“When I had made
