YUKON INDIANS.
Good-Natured and Patient in Their
Sad Environment.
From Forest und Stream.
The Indians on the Yukon are good
natured and harmless. In many ways
they remind one of the southern negro.
They sing "My Girl's a High Born
Lady" and all the latest Bowery airs.
It is said that the British drumbeat
sounds arouncl the world, but nowa
days popular songs do the same thing,
and In a much more thorough way. At
Guam, our new possession in the. La
drones, the newspapers tell us the na
tives sing "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-aye,"
and this air Is often heard alonir the
Yukon. No doubt It has penetrated to
TImbuctoo nnd the sacred city of Thi
bet. Judging from the Yukon, native
music seems to be dying out. The
catchy airs of the music hall are sup
plying a world music.
The Indians have keen cars, though
their voices can hardly be called melo
dious. Some of them will catch an air
after hearing It once, and reproduce It
correctly by humming or on the mouth
organ. I never heard an Indian whistle
or sing at tho full extent of his luifgs,
though likely they do both.
Give an Indian a mouth organ, "Juice
harp," ns Huckleberry Finn's negro
had it, or an accordion, and you will
Insure his happiness, no matter It ho
Is cold or starving. Tho Indian 1s ns
yet Ignorant of tho banjo, but when he
is once Introduced to it I think It will
bo his favorite Instrument, ns It Is with
his sable brother. It must be borne In
mind that I am speaking of the In
terior Indians. The coast Indians are
a different breed. They aro fighters
nnd quarrelsome, robbing tho white
man by exorbitant packing charges
now that they have learned it isn't
wise to do the thing by force of arms.
It was these Indians who. by right of
their possession of' the passes, made
tho Interior an unknown country for
so long to the- white man. Up to a re
cent date they effectually monopolized
the trade of the ukon. They even
checkmated the Hudson Bay company
when It attempted to gaf.i an entrance
Into the country from the east, captur
ing and burning tho post established
at Fort SelHrk in 1532. These Indians
are powerfully built, and a twelve-year-old
girl will trudge along with as
heavy a p.vk as tho average white
man can carry, whllo their skookum
packers carry as much as a horse.
Indians nro not particular about the
condition of their food, and will dis
pose of soma pretty rank messes, but
one thing they will not eat Is wolf.
More mrprlFlng still, if true, is the
reported fact that Indian dogs will
not eat wolf. These dogs rob white
men's caches, tearing open sacks and
gorging on raw Hour ami oatmeal, and
nothing from sonp to sulphwpfjinatches
Is safe from their depredations. Want
ing to dispose of the cnrrussi's of the
wolves we killed below Selkirk, I nsktd
tho Indians If they could use thein.
They tald nn. I suggested feeding to
the dogs, nnd they shook their heads
again. "Dag no muck much wolf,"
they f,ald. "Tedder way. wolf muck
miick dog."
Wh.n the tlmo comes for starving,
the Indian takes It as 11 mutter of fact,
and contentedly. Only once In n while
Is there a wenk-livered one who cries
and says: 'Muck muck all gone.
'Frald poor Indian will die." They
peal the bark from pine and even pop
ple trees and eat the softer Inner por
tion. Tho pine bark Is full of rosin
and nasty stuff, and there Is certainly
no nutriment In It. It serves, however,
to tilt the stomach and lesren the
gnawing at the Inwards. Ono can
travel for miles along the Yukon nnd
never bo out of sight of peeled trees,
marked with the characteristic arrow
shaped blaze. The fact signified the
frequency of nerlods of stnrvutlon, for
there nro . a few hundred Indians
In nil on (ho whole Ienfl of the up
per river.
Eating Against Time
THfi PICTURE DICKENS DREW OF
AMERICANS AT TABLE.
It Is ft long time since "Martin Chtiz
zlewlt" stirred up Yankee Indignation.
We nro beginning to admit that tho
"thriving City of Eden" might have
been located In more states than one,
and that Jefferson Brick and Elijah
Pogram havo "fretted their hour upon
the stage" under many aliases, which
failed to conceal their Identity. But
however wo might deny tho general
fidelity of Dickens' sketches of Amer
ican llfo and character, wo cannot
deny that his picture of tho American
nt his meals, minus the touch of car
icature which Is tho only emphasis of
humor, Is almost as accurate today
as It was when tho greut author
penned his novel.
Hero Is the picture ns Dickens palnt-
ed it: Murtln C'huzzlewlt hua Just
landed, He has presented his cred
entials and met several "prominent
citizens.' In company with tuo of
these he is leisurely walking down the
street, engaged In conversation. Sud
denly the clanging of a bell Is heard
and the estimable citizens start off ut
break-neck speed In the direction ot
the sound. Other people are seen run
ning In the same direction, Martin
conjectures that It Is a lire and quick
ens hlu step. Around the corner he
comes on a brawny negro ringing u
bell with great industry and sees a
crowd lighting their way through a
narrow door eager to reach the dinner
table. Martin finds, by the courtesy
of tho colonel, a seat turned down
for him and he watches the scene In
amazement. Everybody scrambling,
bolting and gulping as If life depend
ed on swallowing nil the food possible
in the most Indigestible condition.
"The poultry flew as rapidly as If
every bird had the use of Its wings
and had Mown In desperation down a
human throat. The oysteis slid by
seotes Into the mouths of the assem
bly. The sharpest pickles vanished
ltko sugar plums. Great heaps of In
digestible matter melted away as Ice
before the sun. It was a solemn and
awful thing to see dyspeptic Individ
uals bolting food In wedges: feeding
not themselves but brood ot night
mares. Spare men with lank nnd ri
gid cheeks ennio out unsatisfied from
the destruction of heavy dishes and
glared with watchful eyes upon the
pastry,"
Ot course this Is caricature. But
it is caricature which impresses on us
that we eat too much and too rapidly.
Thut we eat -without regard to thp
fitneso of our fond for tho nourishment
of the body. That we over-load the
stomach, crush the digestive and nu
tritive organs under a burden they
cannot carry, and recruit the ranks
of that great army of men and women
who are victims of "stomach trouble."
The sanitariums are full of such peo
ple. The springs nnd baths In this
country and Europe are largely sup
ported by them. They are tormented
day and night and are constanct vic
tims of quackery In their struggle to
escapn their torment. America Is
known today as a dyspeptic nation, it
it bo true, as crusty old Dr. Aber
nethy used to say, that the llrst place
to look for tho cause of disease un
der ordinary conditions Is In the stom
ach, how much more true must that
statement be under the extraordinary
conditions when a man abuses his
utomach as he would abuse a beast ot
burden, when he scalds it at one mo
ment and freezes It tho next, stuffs
It and starves It at tho same time,
Irritates It with condiments, sluices
It with nil kinds ot llulds and loads It
with substances of as little food value
as wood puip?
That Is the actual condition of things
which Dr. Pierce undertook to cope
with when he prepared his "Golden
Medical Discovery" for discards ot the
stomach nnd organs ot digestion and
nutrition. The theory that "diseases
which miginato In .the stomach must
bo cured through the "stomach" was
tho fundamental theory on which Dr.
lierco wojked, nnd In n practice ot
more than thirty years, cures of di
sease in heart, head, lungs, liver,
nerves and other organs, by tho curo
of tho diseased condition of tho diges
tive nnd nutrltlvo system, havo abun
dantly demonstrated tho soundness of
the Doctor's theory and the perfection
of tho remedy he prepared to meet the
required conditions. These cures can
be numbered by hundreds of thousands
nnd tho beneficiaries of Dr. Plerco's
skill are found In every walk of life.
As tin Illustration of these state
ments and claims, tako the case of Mr.
John L. Coughenour, of Glensavnge,
Somerset county, Pa. Ho writes;
"I had been doctoring and using pat
ent medicines for about a year nnd a
half, being unablo to work most of the
time. Tho doctor said I had heart di
sease nnd Indigestion. I began with
a choking and oppressed feeling In tho
chest; later on I was troubled with a
hungry feeling, and I seemed to be
raw from my throat clear down Into
my stomach. My appetlta was unus
ually poor, nnd I was weak and ner
vous as though I had been starved out
for months. My heart kept throbbing
continually and I was short of breath.
Finally I wroto to you for advice and
you Informed mo that I had Indiges
tion and a torpid Hvor. I did not think
your diagnosis wns right, but I ordered
I six bottles of 'Golden Medical Dig-
covery' from you nnd began Its use.
After using thrco bottles I began to
lmprovo slowly and soon went to work
nnd I have been working ever since,"
Similar cases could bo multiplied.
It Is noticeable that In almost nil theso
cases, resort has been had to Doctor
Pierce's treatment nfter other medi
cines hnd failed to give relief and doc
tors' fees had been paid In vnln.
"It Is with pleasure that I tell you
what Dr. Pierce's 'Golden Medical
Discovery' nnd 'Pellets' have dono for
me," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of
Peede, Kaufman Co., Texas, "Two
years ago I was taken with stomach
and bowel trouble. Everything I ate
would put mo In distress. I
lived two weeks on milk and even
that gave mo pain. I felt ns though
I would starve to death. Three doc
tors attended me one said I had dy
spepsla, two said catarrh of the stom
ach and bowels. They nttended me
(one nt a time) for one yenr. I stop
ped tnklng their medicine nnd tried
other medicine; but I got no better,
and I grew so weak and nervous my
heart would (luttcr. I could not do
any kind of work. Now I can do my
house-work very well, am gaining In
flesh and strength and can eat any
thing I wunt."
The symptoms of disease vary with
different people. A great many times
as in the case of Mr. Coughenour given
nbove, Dr. Pierce's diagnosis does not
seem to agree with the symptoms the
patient feels any more than It agrees
with the diagnosis of the local physi
cians. But the event justifies tho
judgment of Dr. Pierce and ninety
eight per cent, of those who give "Gol
den Medical Discovery" a fair and
faithful trial are perfectly and per
manently cured.
"Golden Medical Discovery" Is not
n cure-all. It is medicine specially
prepared to cure all diseases ot the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. It cures many forms ot di
sease seemingly remote from the
stomach because these ailments have
their origin in a diseased condition of
the stomach, and because diseases
originating In the stomach aro cured
through the stomach.
There Is no whiskey, or alcohol in
any form In tho "Discovery" and It
contains no opium, cocaine, or other
nurcotlc. It does not give the body
the false strength of a stimulant, but
the real strength of a nourishment.
The weight Invariably gained by those
who use It Is all sound flesh and firm
muscle, and not flabby flesh and un
healthy fa.t
Sick people suffering with chronic
forms of disease nre invited to con
sult Dr. Pierce by letter, free of
charge. All correspondence Is treat
ed ns strictly private and absolutely
confidential, and all answers are mailed
in plain envelopes bearing on them
no advertising or other printing. Ad

Whero Iron utensils aro ued in kitch
ens, but aro not in dally requisition, tluy
nre apt to becomo rusty. To avoid this,
mix together t-omo pounded starch, blcar
bonato of soda and water, to a3 to pro
duco a thlckUh paste. Spread this oovr
the utensils, and when wanted rlnso them
with luko-wann water.
We aro often driven to distraction by
the dntnago caused by Hies on various
articles of furniture. To removo the
marks from gilt frames, etc., tako a little
spirits of wine In a saucer nnd add to this
a few drops of sulammoniac; shake tho
mixture or stir it veil, and upply It with
a small soft cniml's hair brush; after
about llvo minutes rlnso with a larger
brush dipped In soft water, nnd let tho
frames dry, without wiping them, In nn
ulry plaeo or at u small distance from tho
flro; this will not stain tho gilding.
This Is also the best remedy for bronzo
statuettes, chandeliers and lamps, such
as are not so often met with nowadays
as they wjro In former years; but In this
case tho application should he Tinned off
with hike-warm water und the bronzo
polished softly with a leather or an old
Mlk nig. It Is hardly necessary to add
that plate glass and mirrors can easily be
cleaned by means of a mixture of whit
ing and spirits of wine, put on with a
rag nnd briskly rubbed off with a leuthcr
after tho application has dried.
