INDIAN PHYSICIANS OF OLD.
Cold Water , Sweating PurKinp , Vouiit-
itiraiid HI ceding Were Kcmcdics.
Vndoubtedly the American Indian in
his primeval state was a line specimen
of physical manhood. Dr. E. J. Kempt ,
who has made a careful investigation
into frontier history , has found that
before the Indians were contaminated
by the white race they never were af
flicted with smallpox , measles , tuber-
culo.S , gout , scurvy , insanity , nerv
ous diseases nor any other of the ills
aisd blood affections which have in late
years made such terrible inroads upon
the numbers and vitality of the red
men of this country.
The only bodily afflictions which Dr.
Kempf reports to the Medical Record
that he found among the aborigines
were fevers and diseases produced by
cold , such as pleurisy , pneumonia ,
rheumatism , dysentery and wounds
from accidents or battle. Naturally
the remedies of the Indians were sim
ple and few in number. When sick an
Indian refused all kinds of stimulat
ing aliments , but drank profusely of
cold water. Ii : addition to this , in
proper cases the Indian resorted to
sweating , purging , vomiting and bleed
ing , ami finally , when all remedies
-i o-ned to be ineffectual , the medicine
! - was called in to try his amulets
-r . ! ! leantations on the patient.
Thi-se methods of cure are still re-
v -fd : to amonir blanket Indians who
art' removed from the influences of
c'vil-zalion. But before we smile or
oiidemn these practices we should con
sider 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 intelligent of
the white people then , of course , did
not resort to magic and incantations ,
but the concoctions which they manu
factured to cure diseases almost pass
belief. Oliver Wendell Holmes , in his
"Medical History of Massachusetts , "
has made a permanent record of some
of the practices then prevailing among
the colonists. Governor Winthrop was
a devout believer in the efficacy of
< owbugs. while the Rev. Cotton Ma
ther used upon his sick friends such
absurd and foul pellets and medica
ments as no Indian ever dreamed of.

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
Awakening of the Yellow Races.
ITHERTO the white race from trne remotest
historic times to the present has been practical
ly alone in its position of dominance. So far
as concerns the evolution of civilized man , it
might almost be said that there has been but
one race In the world.
"J1" The most momentous of the developments
of the present war is that for the first time a white nation
finds itself not only checked in its onward march by a
nation of yellow men but beaten by that nation on land
and sea. It Ijj too early to say that this situation may not
be reversed before the war is ended , tout there are not
lacking signs that the races ofwhich tho Japanese are
the foremost exemplars havebeen wakened already to a
sense of their latent power. China and India have been
stirred by the deeds of the Japanese. Not osrty the peoples
of these great countriesbut many others of mixed Mongol ,
Hindoo and Malay descent are wondering why they , too ,
may not adopt the arms and implements of Occidental
civilization and deal with the white races on an equal
footing.
Some of the ultimate possibilities of this vast stirring
of the yellow races may be gathered from the fact that
of the 1,500,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 people in the world
Asia alone has SG2SS4,000 , of whom more than 420,000,000
are in the Chinese empire , 55,000,000 are Japanese and
Koreans , 29-i.300.000 are Hindoos , 30,000,000 Maylaysians
and 18,000,000 Indo-Chinese. To group all the Asiatic peo
ples by religions , there are about 775,000,000 Buddhists ,
Confucians , 'Shlntoists and Mohammedans , as against about
12,500,000 Christians.
That these people , aroused to a sense of their racial and
religious solidarity and equipped with the tools of Western
civilization , may bring new problems into existence in the
world's economy Is clear. Will the two races live side
by side , vying with each othctr in advancement toward
higher civilization or will one strive to exploit the other ? A
century or more may elapse before the result is known , GO
farreaching may be the consequences of the present great
struggle. Chicago News.
His Last Will.
, MAN , either through ambition , sense of duty ,
or In self-defense against boredom , works hard
and accumulates property. Should he marry ,
I he is expected to provide liberally for his wife ,
to carry a life insurance for her benefit , to
( give his children every advantage of education
us it is now understood or misunderstood. He
works cheerfully , finds little pleasure outside of Ills daily
routine , is prematurely old. He dies. He may be a wid
ower ; he may leave behind him a second wife ; or he may
leave his only wife , the mother of his children. His will
is opened and read. He has made a reasonable provision
for those near him. But he took the liberty before his
death of 'bequeathing certain sums of money , through a
feeling of fientlnient or duty to others , sums that will lessen
In comparatively slight degree the money which would
otherwise be distributed among those already in pecuniary
comfort. The poor wretch thought he had this right. At
once there is strife. The lawyers are consulted and en
listed. There is a trial. The character of the dead man
is dragged from his codln. Was he queer ? Was he not
insane ? Foibles and harmless eccentricities are paraded
for scorn and mockery. There was a time when the initial
phrase , "In the Name of God. Amen , " was of solemn and
abiding force. The dead man spoke. Who can use the
phrase today with any assurance that it will be regarded
after he is cold and voiceless ? Boston Herald.
Unfinished Educations.
X years ago there was hardly a town in
Western Kansas which did not show many
foundations on which no superstructures had
been erected. The foundations remained un
covered because of the collapse of the boom.
Some of them were small and shallow. Others
were laid broad and deep. The elements as
sailed them all alike. The rain washed the mortar from
between their bricks and stones. The frosts disintegrated
the bricks and stones themselves. Foundations which , if
built upon in the ordinary way would have endured for
generations , fell , in a few years , into such utter ruin that
A DELIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE ,
After the terrible steamship and
railway accidents which made the
past season memorable , it is pleasant
to read of an affair so delightful for
its victims as the recent sinking of the
Mississippi River steamer Chalmette
proved to be. The Chalmette was the
last of the old-time cotton packets on
the Mississippi. There are many big
stern-wheel cotton-carriers , and sever
al sidewheel passenger boats , but the
Chalmette was a relic of the old St.
Louis-New Orleans trade. She was the
City of Vicksburg of the Anchor line ,
but was rebuilt some years ago to
carry cotton to the port of Chalmette ,
below New Orleans. She could etow
five thousand five hundred bales on
her spacious deck , and with her guards
awash and the cotton stacked high
above her cabin deck , was a spectacle
once common , henceforth to be un
known , on the river. When the Louisi
ana Purchase Exposition opened she
was put on as a through boat from
New Orleans to the fair , and thus
opened a trade which had been dead
for some years.
On a Saturday in July she started
North with about forty passengers
and a lot of freight. Late Tuesday
afternoon she was within thirty-live
miles of Natchez when , in backing out
from a lauding , she struck a snag and
knocked a hole In the stern. She
swung round with both ends resting
on. the bank in a little eddy , but with
seventy feet of water under her amid-
lihi-'j , niul began to fill.
The passengers were quickly noti
fied , the gang-plank was run ashore ,
and everybody walked out and found
a seat on the gently sloping , grassy
levee , to watch the spectacular death
of the last of the packets. The crew
hastily brought the passengers' bag
gage ashore , then brought the fur
naces from the galley and all the pro
visions from the pantry , and the ta
bles from the saloon.
when "good times" rcturneu to Kansas it was in all cases
unsafe and In many impossible , to erect buildings upon
them. Only small portions of the material they contained
could be utilized in the construction of other foundations.
Not unlike the fate which these abandoned foundations
suffered is that which overtakes the educations which
many men acquire in the schools. Schools and colleges
lay but the foundation , of education. They may lay it
broad and deep , but If no superstructure Is later erected
over It the foundationwill quickly fall to pieces. Asso
elation , the mortar that binds the bricks and stones of the
mind together , will be washed away in time. Ideas , which
are the mind's bricks and stones , will crumble and fall
apart. A foundation without a superstructure is worth
less. It has no adaptation to its environment Nature will
not let it long exist. There are thousands of men and
women who have a smaller sum total of knowledge and
reasoning power at 30 or 40 than they had when they threw
aside their school text books. They have erected for them
selves no intellectual superstructure , and their intellectual
foundation , being unprotected , has fallen Into decay. Chi
cago Tribune.
China as a Great Power.
E have witnessed with amazement and ad
miration the advent of Japan among the
world's great powers. Is it possible that at no
distant day China may enter the list ? It is
significant that the one European who knows
the Chinese better than any other , and has
long sustained official relations with them , has
full faith in this possibility. Sir Robert Hart , to whom we
refer , has lately presented to the Dowager Empress a
scheme for army and naval organization which has not only
engaged the attention of the court , but commands the warm
approval of so much of public sentiment as finds expres
sion in the native newspapers.
Briefly , Sir Robert Hart estimates that a reorganiza
tion of the land taxes may be made to yield a revenue of
100,000,000 tacls ( about $275,000,000) ) without pressing se
verely upon the people. Out of this revenue ho proposes
financing a reconstruction of the land forces on the basis
of four army corps of 50,000 regular troops each ; the con
struction of three fleets , each composed of ten large and
ten smaller warships , ten first-class torpedo boats and ten
smaller ones ; the building of arsenals , the maintenance of
naval academies , the establishment of modern schools , and
the creation of an adequate salary list for the civil admin
Istration , and figures upon a sufficient balance to provide a
sinking fund.
This seems ambitious , and It may be impossible. Buf
Sir Robert Hart is no dreamer , and lie knows the Chinese ,
as we have said , better than any other European. If the
Chinese have it in them to rise to the opportunity which hr
points out to them , the future dismemberment of the Chi
nese empire will not be the e sy task thafsomo diplomatists
have imagined. Boston Journal.
Relative to Slang.
URISTS seldom will excuse slang , and always
will insist that a better phrase or word might
have been substituted for Its use , until tho
slang word or expression becomes grafted upon
tJbe language. Even then there will be man ;
not tolerant of its use at first , but opposition
becomes less and less in evidence as time accus
toms the ear to receive gratefully that which once seemed
harsh , crude and inelegant.
It is true , too , that much of the slang of one age falls
into disuse the next , so that the language suffers but little. ,
if any. from its temporary acceptance , while such words as
may have incorporated themselves permanently into the
general structure fit so well that no one is tearfully so
licitous to have thorn removed.
A Western minister recently said :
"Slang is largely the result of indolence and lack o !
self-respect. While In tho origin of some terms commonly
used as slang there may bo wit and a measure of originali
ty , yet no person can indulge in the use of these barbarisms
without serious loss
"I have heard men use slang in most earnest prayer.
If a man does not wish to use slang on his death bed or in
the pulpit or the schoolroom , office or social circle , it would
be well not to use it anywhere. " New York Tpe ! rrsn.
In half an hour the steamer broke in
two and sank. Then as darkness set
tled over tho river the passengers on
the levee began a picnic supper , pre
pared by the darky cooks over the res
cued furnaces. There was no lack of
supplies ; the evening was gloriously
cool and still. A more beautiful loca
tion for a picnic could hardly have
been selected. A skiff had been sent
up to Natchez for help , and until an
other steamer came to get them the
girls of the party , grouped on the
levee , sang the old songs , and listened
in turn to the roustabouts and the
cook-rooin darkies singing not the old
plantation melodies , for few of the
river hands know them , but the mod
ern "rag-time" songs which come
South to them from the vaudeville
stage. "Under the Bamboo-Tree" and
all the rest of them made the night
melodious , and at last , when the pic
nic was beginning to pall , the rescuing
steamer came and took all on board for
Natchez , whence they went on their
way by rail to their destination.
EACH RACE ITS ODOR.
Orientals Said to Object Strongly to
Western Peoples on that Score.
Western nations , with their usual
conceit , Imagine that they are superior
In every respect to the races of another

Far East. One of the charges which
white men bring against tire negro is
that tho odor emanating from him is

able.
able.The
The Caucasian never pauses to think
that possibly the odor of his skin is
by no nif.ins pleasing to the sense of
smell of the negro or the Indian. Nev
ertheless , it is stated that the smell of
the white man is not so fragrant to the
negro as it is imagined , but is , In fact ,
objectionable to a degree.
According to a rcicent issue of the
New York Times , a Japanese medical
man has published a treatise concern
ing the odor of the Occidental racea ,
declaring that It takes eome time for
the Oriental to become accustomed
to it
Thevriter advances the theory
which has been discussed before that
each race has its peculiar odor , that it
is partly radical , but is in a measure
Influenced by dietary and other condi
tions.
The Japanese do not smell each oth
er , but the perfume from their bodies
is wafted by tho breezes to the Rus
sians , who can distinguish the smell
of thcdr enemies at a long distance. The
writer , however , states that it is noth
ing like the pungent and penetrating
emanation proceeding from the "West
ern nations , in which traces of garlic
and ancient cheese and the volatisation
of a coarsei and over-abundant dietary
are sure to be found.
There arc reasons to think that the
Japanese doctor may bo right and per
haps each race has its characteristic
odor.
Certain it is that primitive races
have a much keener sense of smell
than the members of a highly civilized
race. With civilization and the art of
living in an artificial manner , from dis
use the senses of sight and smell bo-
coms less acute. The Japaneso have
not embraced civilization for so long j
a period as to lose tho qualities of a
people living in a state of nature. In- .
deed , the great majority are not civ
ilized at all. Chicago Chronicle.
