Indian Forays Upon Wliite Villages.
Willi war parties rctorninir from a
to ray upon Ilia aulllumcnlM, siiya lion.
Custer, the flnt oljoct in to phtco as
lone a distance as possible between
Ihomaolvcs and any party which may
be in pursuit. To accomplish this, ui
soon an tbe have completed the do.
slruction and havoo of which tbe set
tlors are tho victims, the entire party,
usually numbering from fifty to 0110
hundred warriors, collect at a point
near the settlements previously agreed
upon, and at once begin thoir flight
toward their village, probably located
at least two hundred miles Irom the
scene of their attack. Being mounted,
as all war parties aro, upon tho fleet
est of Indiun ponies with extra animals
driven aluiiK, little or no rent for either
pony or rider is taken dnrijjg the first
twenty-four hours, by which time ills
no unusual feat for a war party to
traverse a distance of ono buudrod
miles.
During the oarly part of the fli'dit
every precaution is adopted to prevent
leaving a ucavy trail, or one easily to
bo followed; to this end, instead oi
moving, as is cuntointtry, in singlo filo,
thereby leaving a clenrly defined path.
eacb warrior moves independently
of bia fellows, until all dungcr from
pursuit is vnieiy pnviocl, when the
party falls into singlo filo, and, with a
chief nt the bead, moves aloini in al
most unbroken silence. If during an
attack upon tho frontier settlements
tho Indiuna should encounter unex
pected and successful resistance, neces
sitating a prematura withdrawal and
bight on their part, they still resort
to strotagora in order to secure their
safety.- , In accordance with a plan
previously formed and understood by
each member of tho parly, flu J speci
ally provided for an omorgoncy, tho
war party finding Uiomsolvcs about to
encountor Ruccesnful rosislaneo on tho
part of tli 0 frontiersmen beat a hasty
retreat; but instead of tuking their
flight In a single direction, and in ono
party, theroby leaving an unmistaka
ble clue lor thoir pursuers, tho cnliro
parly breaks up into numerous small
er bands, eucb apparently fleeing In
an in,epondcnt direction, a few ol tho
best mounted , usually falling behind
to attract tho attention of the nursu-
ors and give time to those of the party
who aro burdened with prisoners and
capturod stock to mako good their es
cape
In such an emorconcv as this, a ren
dezvous for the party has boon pre
viously uxca opon. its location is
usuully upon or noor a water course or
prominent land mark, distant perhaps
thirtyor forty miloa :lhithor all small
er parties direct thoir courso, each by
uiparato) ana neuaiiy oireuitous
courso. bhould either of those smal
ler parties find thcmselvos closely pur
sued, or tbeir trail being followed and
all efforts to throw tho pursuers off
prove unavailing, thoy relinquish tho
plan of uniting with tho others at the
established rendezvous, as that would
m pern tho safety of their comrades.
and select a uow route leading neither
in the direction of the rendezvous nor
of the villago, in order not only to
eludo but mislead tbeir pursuers
Then ensues alonfl-ond tiresome fliirht.
until, having woru out or outwitlod
their pursuurs, of whoso movements
they keep thomalves thoroughly in
formed, they make their way in safety
to tho village. At tho litttor. look
outs aro cons'.anllv kont on some
prominent bill to watch tho coming of
tho absent warriors, and givo notice of
tho approach. A war party returning
from a successful raid into tho settle ,
nieiils, and bringing with thorn prison-
ers and captured slock, is an ovent of
1110 greaiost importance to overy occu
pant of the village . Having arrivod
within a fow miles of tho village, and
fooling safe from all dangor from pur
suit, llio .chief in command of the war
party causes a signal sinojte to bo
sent up from some high point along
tho line of inarch, well knowing thul

Tho Chinese wife's great hope and
ambition are that- sho may have male
offspring to perpetuate- tier husband s
namo, to euro for and support him in
old ago, and after death to watch ovor
and otter eacrillco nt his grave,, and at
stated periods to burn ineenso before
his tablot. If bIio chance to bo so un
forlunato as to have no children, or
only daughers, there is rarely any
happiness ip . store . for her and her
married llio, ana nur Husband is very
likely to lukoto himsolf a conrubino,

hoart,
When women have no children they
supplicato the goddess Ilui-fu Tu-gon
to aid them ami send them sons, fur,
if possible, they wpuld rather not
haveduughtors. If a man have no sons
ho is thought to ''live .without honor
and die unhappy j" and so eager is i
Chinaman for a male heir, that, fail
ing a son of his own, ho will adopt
one from his brothers' families, if lie
can get ono. Uecasioi.nlly, loo, from
this all-absorbing desire lur a son, pa
rents will bribe a hurso to get some
poor man's boy, -and substitute him
for a newly-born daughter, 'hi the

When a son is born there are groat

whon children fro troublesome or

When llio baby Is n month old the
icad is shaved fur the first liino, and
in tho caso of a boy this ceremony is

Alter tho shaving ot tho bead at

common practice to allow a patch of
hair to grow on tho lop,' If tho Child

hair is braided into tight littlo queues
which stick out, and give the ehildren

' , Cold Feet, "4 '
Why do tho feet becomo so cold
and benumbed f Tor answer we may
ay that among tho ciiuses of cold
feet are : tight garters, light stock
ings, und tight shoes, wilh, us llio ba
sis, u sluggish'oirculalion of tho blood
and a low to no of vitality. Tight gar
ters and tight shoos impede the circu
lation of the blood, preventing iho
warm lifo currents from koeping up
tho natural torfiperuturo of the ex
tremities. Tight luoing and corsets,
also, havo something to do with caus
ing cold feet und a hot head. -
Wear good ai .od lamb's wool stock
ings, or cotton if you prefer; and, In
stead of using garters, fasten the
stockings to your drawer with u loop
and set baMon ; wonr - siusy '. eboes or
boots; dress the person properly
never fiy aud exercise tho body
vigorously by a brisk walk or a lively
