Favorable Turn in the Condition of the Ceneral. He Says he Feels Splendid A Turn Fortho Better. Washington, Slay 29. The latent re ports from General Sheridan's sick In-tl indicate a decidedly favorable turn in his condition. At i) o'clock last evening the physicians in attendance report that the general was looking and feeling bet ter than he had for forty-eight hours pre viously. All day yesterday, notwith standing newspaper reports to the contra' ry, General Sheridan was delirious. He turned uneasily in his bed and muttered unintelligibly. 1 he swelling in his limbs occasioned by oedema, as the result of sluggishness of circulation, increased. Later in the night there was a decided turn for the worse and for several hours eirh moment was expected to be his last. Early this morning the general's pulse be came more normal, the swelling in his limbs decreased, and when the consula tion of the physicians was held it was universally decided that ft turn for the better had taken place, During the day he has been conscious with few excep tions, has 'recognized friends, and had absolutely no return of the last sinking spells. The house has been lesieged to day with callers and many pedestrians and carriages have turned into Rhode Island avenue, passing the general's house. While there is no expectation that General Sheridan will recover permanent ly from the attack from which he has been suffering, some hopes are held out tonight that he will rally sufficiently from the attack under favorable conditions to be once more up and about. "His carter, however," said one of the physicians in attendance, !has ended, and whatever the present results may be they cannot be Tery long delayed." Troops Sent to Oelrichs. Chadiion, Neb., May 29. The Indian scare at Oelrichs, Dak., h&3 been made so much of that today a troop of cavalry under Cautain Hughes lef: Fort Robinson en route for that place. Calls had been been made upon governor of Dakota for troops but today they were countermand ed. There is a large emigration pouring iuto the country expected to be open for settlement and they are denied admission to the reservation and if they get into the reservation are notified to at once depart. Fort Robinson, Neb., May 29. Two troops of the ninth cavalry were ordered out today by the department commander to go to Oelrichs, Dak., to investigate the reported Indian outbreak. Every thing is quiet. The excitement was caus ed by u hunting party under Little Chief, of the Cheyennes. Rapid City, Dak., May 29. The In dian scare at Oelrichs has subsided, and settlers who stampeded have returned to their homes ashamed of the fright they cxhihted. No danger ever existed, and the alarming reports sent out from there were wholly unwarranted by the tacts. Colonel Thorqby's request for two hun dred stand of arms from Bismarck will be disregarded. Not a little sport has been made of the people who allowed their timidity to get the better of their judgement. Parties who have come into this plate from along the Cheyenne river bring no news of the Indians whatever. All is quiet as far as can be learned, apd no more danger of an outbreak exists now than at any time for years. Hurdle pf Amcrica Half IrfcIi- The experience of the teachers of the Lincoln institution confirms the viewa Mre expressed, that the mixed IndjAU i more exempt from pulmonary disease than the pure Indian; and, further, that if the former are attacked by disease, they offer greater constitutional resist ance to it than the latter. This view is also confirmed by the large e:rperience of Capt. R. II. Pratf, superintendent qt the Carlisle Indian.6chool, who says in his last report: "Our experience is that iUo mixed bloods resist disease and death from pulmonary troubles better than the full bloods; and our best health condi tions are found among those we send out Into families due, I think, very largely to the regular occupation ana varied diet." Similar views have been expressed by others who have resided among the mixed or half breed races in the north western part of Canada. These people are sajd to be strong and hearty, long b'ved, and not subject to disease,' so Jong as they remain in their native climate, Thoy regard tltemselves as the equal of the whites, and look in a rjarronizing way on the Indian. Their families are usually very large, and the female sex Uj said to be very handsome. Quite re cently I had occasion to investigate the question whether pulmonary consump tion tends to exterminate the American Indian, and I then found that nearly all those Indian agencies whjph. show (he lowest consumption rate are precisely those which are shown in the table of this paper to contain the largest number of mixed- bloods. Thomas J. Mays, M. P., in Popular Science Monthly. A rtuyer of FaU Teeth. A sharp eyed little man attracted the writers attention In a Chicago hotel by the close watch he maintained at the dm ner table npon the jaws of the other L A Ma . A ' I I frueeia. aiier watcuing mem au pruiiy closely ror a while, he hnally concent rated his attention npon an elderly gentleman opposite, who ate his food with some diill culty. Even a casual observer rould have noted that he selected only tlio softest articles on the bill of fare. "That man has a bad fitt ing set of teeth and I'll get them," said the little man. When the elderly gentleman left the table the little ono followed, and in a few mo ments was in conversation with him, aud, as it afterward transpired, had engaged to buy his false teeth as soon as he had ob tained a new set. This little man picks up a great many nets of false teeth in the course of a year. Most persons that havo a set before they reach 80 years of age are obliged to buy two more sets, at least, before they rcacli CO years, and the mouth changes so that teeth that fit well and serve their wearer well at first after a while do not fit aud cause the wearer a great deal of discom fort. The man that makes a living in this line has acquired a great knack for discovering 111 fitting teeth, and he scarcely ever falls to secure a bargain, for notwith standing false teeth are the only immortal material about oar bodies, masmuch as they are said to be capable of resist ing 4,000 dogs, of heat (Fahrenheit), very few people know that they aro worth anything second hand, and so the little man gets them at his own figure. He told the writer that many sets of false teeth are found. Owners are more careless of them than is supposed, and in stances are more frequent than would be Imagined In which they have been left in hotel bedrooms. They have been found in railroad cars and even in horse cars, and quite frequently turn up in cabs. As the cabbies and railroad employes cannot wear other people's teeth they hunt up the buyer, and he gets the set for a few shil lings. The scavengers sometimes rake up a set in an ash barrel, and sets are some times picked up in the streets. One set was found in a magpie's nest in Pennsyl vania, and another was picked out of a woman's throat by a surgeon. The patient would never wear them again, and they were sold far 'a gong. The little man picks up a nice living by his purchases, adding to it now and then bv buying a second hand wig or two. New York Press. Hungry Fire Department llones. Fire department horses in the big cities are, as a rule, ravenous feeders. There are certain hours of the day when they are fed, and the horse soon comes to knqw the feeding hours as well as the hostlers. As early aa 5:30 o'clock' in tha morning is aats feeding tune.' If the feeder happens to be a little slow in getting down fctairs, if he is only two minytea late, there is the Catest tramping of hoofs on the wooden rs, kicking the sides of the stalls and the wickedest champing of bridle bits ever seen or heard in a stable. This sort of racket is kept up continuously, too, until the oats are divided out for the meal. The moment they commence feeding, I? an alarm comes in, every horse in the house will leave his oats and take his placo under the swinging harness, and will impatiently dance around anxious tq get off for a run. The firo department horse i3, I believe, tha only ono that will leave his oats voluntarily to go to work. The best hostlers in the department al ways take the bits out of the mouths of the horses at feeding time. This is done to give the animal a chance to thoroughly masticate his food. The horsa that eats with the bit in his mouth soon loses his appetite from indigestion, and will not last long in the department. Firo Chief in Globe-Democrat. Hind Beached Through the I$o.ty That mental disorders may iu many in stances be cured by corporeal measures ail know. Some sudden shock to the body has often proved the only means by which a long standing mania has beea removed. It is wonderful, for instance, what a marvelous effect the 6ubinersion pf the wpuld bo suicide in the cold depths of the dark river has upon his mind. No sooner is he rescued and brought to his senses than all thought of putting an end to his existence has vanished, and he. pnee more braces himself up t fight the battle of life. The disappointed lover who es pecially if she be a woman is tempora rily deranged, finds a plunge into, the nearest pond quickly alters her views as to her miserable condition. The fires of Jove are pfteq as effectually quenched by one rash dip and the troubled mind as. speedily restored to feealtby PCjudition, as though the fajsa pna had never be trayed her, pr thp'treacherqiis yoyr cac never been spokeu.- London Standard. Teaching Humanity In School. A boy in school was having a very funny time, by sticking a pin into the legs of tho boy who sat next him.! and laughing jtfc bt! antic. The teacher caught sight of the pro ceeding, and taking a pin, went to the first mentioned boy and said: "Would you like to have a pin stuck into you like that f lie Jaughed as though ho thought (t rqight be a, capital joke, whereat tha. fc4ier used. tLu pin father freely, and his jumpiugs and squirmings, accompanied by his "ows jn and endeavprs to saye himself by the use of his hands, attracted the attention of tbe whole school. The teacher finally asked him what was the matter and why he did not sit quietly, and when he said that he couldn't, "it hurt," so, the teacher said: "Well, that is just the way it feels to other people. Have you bad enough of it.p He was very decidpi in his opinion that he bad, and the teacher took occasion to say a few words to the school in regard tq their treatment, not only of each other, but of the lower animals. She said: "I saw a toy kill a toad last night, and wpnderAcJ i knew the toad, U tt$lp tq us, and it he thought of the toad's suffering. $ioSt of tbe boys looked thoughtful, a few laughed, and tbe very boy that killed the toad raised his hand and said: "What good can a toad dof" Upon tbe teacher's inquiry among the scholars she found that only a few knew any thing pf (be good that a toad does in the. garden. It was tbe means of a reforrq in that direction, and a talk on tbe uses of bird revealed tbe fact' that very few pf thenj loieV thata bird 'is&f any use w.Uatevei',- Philadelphia faJL I!et Position During Merp. Of all our sleeiing millions who arise at sun call with more or less reluctance or promptness, how many are free from morning headache? Not a large propor tion, ko far ns 1 have observed. It is probable that a majority acquire their pain from wrong posture during bleep. I hare asked many bow they lie in 1 ki1; I find generally they rest upon the side, with legs drawn up and chin tiion the chest rolled up like a chicken in an egg shell. Some few elecp upon the back, one or two prone, and several with an arm stretched up beneath tho head; but the usual posture is, I think, as first stated. Now, in this 6hapc, tho human liody describes an arc of a circle, with blood and air vessels constricted by pressure on the inside of the arc, ami their caliber sensibly diminished.

Therefore it takes an hour or more in the morning, with lnth and toilet, to set wheels going that should never have been checked, and to get rid of the headache. "Try this way once: When fairly in bed, lights out, aud rc;;dy for sleep, throw the bead well back, upon a pillow of medium height, che.'t for ward, arms by the side and ltgs extoniod. Fight it out n few minutes and sleep will come this time without a headache in it. William F. Hutchinson, M. D., in American Magazine. A runllf Sly Trick. About 500 years ago thcro was a cele brated pundit of Nudya, who was par ticularly fond of country spirits, nnd used to take about a quart of it every day. People suspecting him of this weakness watched him. One evening, when ho was returning from his vesper prayers at the riverside, he was seen tooomo out on the sly from a grog shop, with his water pot full of aniseed ana&k, and he was taxed by the crowd Jor conduct so dis reputable in a Brahmin of his learning and sanctity. He denied the charge, and placed the-vessel before bis accuser, when lo! it anneared to contain milk. A i miracle! a miracle! cried the crowd, ruid, I the pundit, instead of being uPff'-aeu, was canonized; the fac.t being that tha wily toper knew well that aniseed liquor, mixed with a little water, becomes milky, and he bad pvepared it accord ingly.
