INDIANS AS MAIL CARRIERS. They Are Doing: Good Work In That Capacity la the Tilinacsota Wilds. So far as known, Minnesota is the only state in the Union in which the experiment of utilizing the Indians as mail carriers has been tried. The red men so engaged in this state have won the admiration of all by their pluck and speed. Grand Mara is, on the north shore cf Lake Superior, is practically a world by itself, especially during the winter months. The people are then cat off from all communication with the rest of the country unless they feel disposed to take a rough and dangerous overland trip of some 175 miles or else go up the lake on the ice to Dulath or Superior. Tho problem of sending mail to Grand XTarnifl frnm Two Harbors, the end of Iho railroad, was for a longtime a problem which bothered the postoffice department not a little. During the winter the trip is a dangerous one, and no whits man could be found to undertake it for tho small compensation allowed by the government. Some months ago two full blooded Chippewa Indians, Kagiet and Rossport Beargrease, who are known far and wide among the Indians of the northwest as athletes of no mean degree, intimated that they would not be averse to working for Uncle Sam. They were told to put in a bid for carrying th8 mails, and to their great delight the contract was awarded to them. In due time their commissions arrived from Washington, and the brothers are now the official mail carriers between Two Harbors and Grand Marais. Since having become a part of the United States government the Beargrease boys have dropped many of their Indian mannerisms?that is, they have dropped some of the more objectionable ones and retained all those which enable them to live and get fat where a white man would die. In warm weather the trip from point to point is made in a canoo along the lake, but since winter has set in and the water highway is closed the journey is made overland, on foot generally, although sometimes dog teams are used. A more desolate, dreary country than that lying between Two Harbors and Grand Marais it would be hard to imagine, and perhaps it is due to its very lonesomencss that the two Indians make such good time. The 175 miles of almost trackless wilderness are covered in anywhere from 50 to 75 hours?iho average time is about 65 hours?and the men come in looking as fresh as daisies. The Indians make their way with ease where a white man umised to the country could not find his way and camp in the forest or on the barren bluffs wherever night overtakes them. They are always armed?not that there is any danger of an attack by man or beast? but bemuse they have always carried their rides when away from civilization and would be lost without them. Large sums of money and many papers of the utmost impcrtanco are often carried by these uututored children of the forest, and their prompt delivery at their destination can be counted upon as a certainty. The Beargrease boys are as regular as clockwork, and were there to be a delay of anytime in their arrival a party of men would soou be looking for them, for it would be known that scree mishap had befallen the mail carriers. Wild game of all kinds is plenty in the country between Two Harbors and Grand Marais, and nevor is a trip made by the two Indians without seeing many moose and deer. .Now and then a hnge black bear or a pack of skulking wolves watch the men go by and look aftc-r them with longing eyes, but little things like these do not trouble the faithful servants cf the government, who are as proud of their position as is a small bey of his first pair of boots.?Duluth (Minn.) Letter in Philadelphia Press. Herons That Choke. Herons sometimes choke themselves by attempting to swallow large trout, how large may be judged to some extent from tlio fact that I recently dissected a bird of this species in whose maw was a large water rat in a perfect state cf preservation. An eider duck has been killed through attempting to swallow a toad, and a bullhead, or "miller's thumb," has proved too much for a wao 1 i rrroT*n o ,1 a tri Yl 0"fi ici X t*i iy U MWV* v? A member of the last named species was discovered a season or two back in a Cambridgeshire ditch by some sportsmen, unable to fly, except for a short distance, and tipon being caught and examined it was found that the bird had a young pike protruding from its gullet. As soon as the fish, which measured no less than 4% inches, was removed the kingfisher flew away, apparently none the worse for its experience.?Cornhill Magazine. Waterworks and Electricity. In considering the pumping cf water by the power embodied in the electric current, that eternal law of nature known under the name of economy asserts itself and drives us to the task of securing the greatest possible results from the least expenditure cf effort and material; hence, the question, now seemingly presented to the waterworks manager, cf ascertaining whether or not this new mode of applying power to the work he has in hand will pay to us?. The fact that it is just now strongly asserting itself breeds suspicion in his mind that it has come to stay and that he had better look into it.?Gassier's Magazine. Tlie College of Cardinals. Cardinal Bonaparte's death leaves only seven cardinals cf Pius IX's creation in the sacred college. Three are cardinal bishops, Monaco la Valletta, Oreglia di Santo Stcfano, Parccchi; three cardinal priests, Vcu Hohenloho, Ledocbuwski and Di Cauossa, while Cardinal Mertel is a cardinal deacon. Ur ban VIII is the only pope so far v.no survived all the men who elected liiui. A Tcrrifc Plunge. A freight train on the Louisvilh and Nashville railroad, consisting o: 28 cars and a caboose, recently wen through the drawbridge at lligolets 31 miles east of New Orleans. Tin trestle and bridge is a half mile 1od<; with a 10-foot plunge to the water which has a depth of about 50 feet The bridge had evidently been opeuei to allow gome vessels to pass and wa I left partially oper. The t aln was J two Lours late, and for some inex| plicable reason tbe engineer failed to I notice tbe open draw. Tbe locomc| tive and 22 cars went into tbe vawnj iug gap, carrying away three spans \ of tbe bridge. The engineer jumped | as bis engine wont over, and in some | miraculous manner escaped with only : a slight scratch on bis face. He i struck tbe water and swimming soon reached some of tbe wreckage upon wliich he found safety. The fireman had an arm and a leg broken. The head brakeman is thought to be fatally injured about the head. An I other brakeman had an arm broken, j The conductor and lea- brukeman j were not hurt, as the caboose did not j go over. It was said that three or j four tramps lost their lives but this j cannot be verified. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says that he always keeps l)r. King's New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman Druggist, Catskill, N. 1*., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy; that he has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it.

A Paralytic Cured. w J j His Grandfather, a Revolutionary j . pi Soldier, and His Father, Both died a Of Paralysis, Yet the third Gener- al ation is Cured?The Method. i [ From the Herald, Boston, Mass. tii Like a thunderbolt f?om a clear skv, a stroke of paralysis came to as I Mr. Frank T.

WLat, i seemingly in rouusi n u?.u , . s t j be awoke Lis left side was stiffened by the deadening of the nerves. ]V The interviewer sought out Mr. Ware to get the facts. He gave the interesting particulars in his own way. ' The first shock came very suddenly while I was asleej>, but it was j not lasting in its effects, and in a few ^ weeks I was able to be about. A few months after, when exhausted r)l by work and drenched with rain, I went home in a very nervous state. The result was a second and more 0f severe shock, after which my left arm and leg were practically helpless. a "My grandfather, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in the struggle for Ameroo ai ican Independence, died finally of ^ paralysis. My father also died of ^ paralysis although it was compli- ,. cated with other troubles, and so I w: had some knowledge of the fatal character of the disease which is ar hereditary in our family. After the . second shock I took warning, for, in ^ all probability, a third would carry mo off. "Almost everything under tbc sun ' was recommended to me and I tried l ad the remedies that seemed likely to do any good, electricity, massage and specialists, but to no effect. "The only tLing I found that helped me was Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills, and I verily believe that if it T1 hadn't been for those pills I would have been dead years ago. Cc "Yes, I still have a slight reminder of the last attack six years ago.
