* THE PLAINS TRIBES. Typical American Ind Una ?f the Groat Northwest. ? The northwest plains Indian is to the average person the typical ?Awor.csa indian, mu AJ? mari ol our -school day books--powerful oi phy sique, statuesque, gorgeous in dress, with the bravery of tho firm believ er in pr?destination. The constant, f earless hunting and slaughtering of .the buffalo trained li im to the great x -est physical endurance and gave an inbred desire for bloodshed.

The culture of all primitive peo-, iples is necessarily determined by their environment. This, of course, ?neons that all .plains tribes, though .speaking a score of languages, were in life and manner broadly alike. '.They were buffalo hunting Indians, .and only in ?rare cases did they .give ?any attention to agriculture. Buf falo meat was their food, And the byproducts their clothing, tools and . implements.' ?j r The plains tribes in earlier times twere certainly true; nomads. For a .r, vtime, in the depths of winter, they> i;'. tcamped in the 'shelter of some forest ?along the streams. ? Other than that wherever roamed a herd of buffalo, ? there also wandered tho bands of morihern Indians. The very exists ?nee of these .tribes seemed hound -.io that of the buffalo; ?rom the ?kins their lodges were built, while tho hair on the hides furnished the .sobes f or the body .as well as mat tresses and bed coverings.

Ne Two of Them Arc or Ever Will Bs Just Exactly Alike. There ere no two . things alike in this world--no two atoms alike, uo two blades of grass alike, no two peas alike, no two f eoes alike-won derful-most wonderful of all-no tro ladies?' hats alike! Has this thought ever been impressed upon you whilo sitting in on ossemblage of women? Oh, tho wisdom and forethought of nature, for were each woraau to have a hat similar to her neighbor's what an infinite variety of additional woes and heartaches and tears tho humun race would have had to bear 1 And yet Matthew Soi Heigh, born and bred in Now York, knew naught of this. His tender brain could not conceive tho fact that everything in this world is infinite in its revolu tions and ramifications, particular ly ladies' hats, so Matthew backed Iiis poor judgment with real money and mado a wager with his friend, Silas Cute, that be would soon find him two hats that were alike. Matth'ew and Silas selected a day, UKU they walked up and down tho groat White Way, they promenaded Fifth avenue, they visited the parks, they strolled to the east ?ide, the west side and every other side; they visited the theaters, the concert halls, the churches. From der to day tho quest continued until both were weary and footsore. Thoy saw Gainsboroughs, picture hate, hats with ribbons, hats with feathers, hats with aigrettes, but no two hats alike. They saw dreams of red and blue and green as well as night mares and incubi of "Arabian Nights" phantasy. Th?re were po etry and-prose, music and flowers tvpified in every one, but no two alike. What ingenuity they repre sented, what ceaseless brain activ itVj vvhat thought, what feeling, what delicacy in some, which ii put into a poem or a symphony would earn him or her a place in tho Hall of Fame I Matthew lost his bet, and it,is well that he did. There should be no two hats alike, there aro no two hats alike and there never will be two hats alike. Nature, like wom an, is feminine. She has a variety of moods, of expression, of beauly, of color, of form and figure, and a woman's hat is the embodiment, the epitome of hejr every thought, her every wish, her every desire. Not one woman is like another; neither can her hat be. Arid when the time comes that two hats are found alike, then will genius have reached its limit and tho world will have lost all its beauty and all that makes life worth livingi--New York Her ald. , " ' ?

Ways In Which the Potatoes At* Prepared and Cooked. Making Saratoga chips, the Sara toga chips or commerce, is ono busi ness that ia not in danger of being monopolized by any concern. In most of the cities will be found half a dozen or moro small establish ments where it is profitably con ducted. It does not require much equip ment. In a typical establishment are half a dozen women busily en gaged in peeling tho tubers. There is a machino that docs tho trick nicely, but most of the manufactur ers prefer hand labor. An expert peeler can dispose of the potato's jacket in almost as short a time as the machine. A live gallon meas 'ure ?tands on a chair by each work er. A spacial kind of a knife ?9 used, which rips o it" the skin with absolute uniformity. The chipping or slicing is done by machinery. Usually hand pow er is employed. The potatoes are dumped into a hopper, and by turn ing tho handle it requires but a few minutes to slice them into bits of the required thinness. These fall in a pilo and from there are shov eled into a vat. This is a great iron kettle, con taining several gallons of liquid kept at the boiling point. Within the kettle hangs a large perforated vessel that looks like a dishpan, which can be raised or lowerea by operating a lever controlled by a piece bf rope at tho end. In this vessel are placed tho slices. A hot fire is kept going during the brown ing process, and the liquid is stirred constantly to prevent burning. In a few minutes the chips are done and the mass turned into a big tub. The product finds the readiest sale in tho summer months. This, it is claimed, is duo to the fact that women don't like to stand over a hot fire in the warm months cook ing potatoes in the ordinary way. Twice as many chips are sold in the heated term as during the winter. Lard is not used in the process by the best makers. T?iis is because it makes the chips 6oft and in time rancid. Salad oil has been found to be the most satisfactory, -r- New York Sun. A Different Spoiling of "Turner." Apropos to this matter ,o? sim plified spelling, it was the topic of conversation at a literary gathering in New. York the other evening. There was serious and emphatic dis cussion for some time when at last one of the company very solemnly inquired if any one present could pronounce the word "phthologn yrrh." There was much question ing, much repetition of the con glomerate mass of letters; then it was given up. "Simple enough," declared the propounder of the puz zle. "It spells 'turner.* Don't you see? Phth is pronounced t, a3 in phthisic; o lo is pronounced ur. as in colonel; gn is pronounced n, as in gnat, ana ynh is pronounced er, as in myrrh."

Shoremen or shore workers th?y sometimes call themselves, but their most familiar appellation is "toshers," and the articles they pick up "tosh." They really belong to another well known class, the mudlarks, but consider themselves a grade or two above these latter, for the genuine tosher does not contine himself, as they do, to traveling through tho Thames rniul and picking up odd Eicces of coal or wood, copper, nails, olts, iron and old rope. The tosh er, when tho coast is clear of tho ! police, maj:cs his way into tho sew- , ers and will venture sometimes for milos in quest of valuables that oc casionally find their way into (hem by woy of the kitchen sink or the street grating. When about to enter the sewers these men provide thor elves with a pole Eeve?} or eight feet long, on ono end of which there is a largo iron hoe, a bag carried on tho back, a canvas apron tied a ound them and a dark lantern s;milar to a po liceman's. Thia they strap^on their right breast, so that whilo walking upright through tho largo sewers the light is thrown straight in front. When they como to the branch sew ers and have to stoop the light is thrown directly at their feet. AB they make their way they use their hoo in the mud at their feet and in the crevices of the brickwork, and occasional shillings, and silver spoons find a temporary resting place in the bag at their back or in their capacious coat pockets. The toshers generally go in gangs of three or four, bpth for the sake of company and to be able to de fend themselves from the rats with which the sewers swarm. When they como near a street grating they close their lanterns and watch an opportunity to slip past unno ticed, for otherwise a crowd of peo ple might soon collect at tho grat ing whoso presence would put the police on tho alert. They lind great quantities* of money, copper money ?specially, in tho crevices of the brickwork a little below the grating and not infrequently shillings, half crowns and sixpences, with an oc casional sovereign or half sovereign. When "in luck" they find many articles of plate,: spoons, ladles, sil ver handlea knives and forks, mug3 and drinking cups and now and then articles of jewelry. They general ly also manage to fill their bags with the more, bulky articles found in their search, such as old metal, bones and ropes. These they dis pose of to the marine store dealers and rag and bone men and divide the proceeds, along with the coins found, among the different mem bers of the gang. At one time t":e regular toshers used each to earn from 30 shillings to ?2 a week, but with the construction of new sewers, grated at the mouth, their industry ? nut so easily exercised and ia consequently much less profitable. -London Mail.

Between Two Men, and the Climax Wae Pathetic A blind man was making his way out Washington avenue, using his cano ns a guide for his feet. Across his cheat was a placard bearing tho legend, "I am blind," and suspend ed by a chain around his neck was a small tin cup, a convenient recep tacle for charity coins. It was broad daylight, and he knew that streteh of walk BO well that he felt very little fear of ac cident. lie was about the middle of the block, so ho did not have to look out for the step down from the pavement to the cross street. There ? are never many pedestrians out that far on Washington avenue, and no one is going to nm ruthlessly into a blind man. Ile was striding bravely along when, to his utter astonishment, ho collided with a rapidly moving ob ject. Tho object was a man, who grew very angry, for the impact had dislodged his hat. lt had also Berved to hurl tho blind man back ward, so that ho must have fallen had it not beon for the man who sprang to tho rescue and who tells tho 6tory. "Haven't you got any sense?" the enraged man cried. "Now, you'd better pick np my hat, you awkward lubbardl" "I can't," tho disconcerted fellow replied. "I think it was your own fault.

Progress of Human Rac? Closely Al lied to It It way well be said that the devel opment of tho art of cooking ia closely connected with the < award progress of tho human ruct As the prehistoric cavo dwellers knew nothing of tho uso to which lire might bo put, their gastronomic abilities wore probably ou a par ] with those of the boast of prey with which they competed for their daily supply of food. Tho earliest na tions of whom we possess historic words recognized the value of fo -< s properly prepared, and wo find that the science of cooking gradually attained tho height of its development during tho reign of tho great Roman emperors of tho Au gustinian period. Wo are apt to look upon the banquets of tho old Homans as orgies, ami in some de gree they undoubtedly wore, and yet wo have abundant evidence that tho Romans were cognizant of the fact that the proper preparation and rea soning ot the food contributed in a large measure to an improved appe tite and a better digestion. Wo must, therefore, credit theta with a knowledge of theso physiological ne cessities even while condemning them for their luxurious repasts. They also realized that a pleasant framo of mind had a great and im portant influence on the digestive processes and therefore provided amusements of various kinds dur ing tho meal. Tho inroads of tho northern barbarians caused the highly developed arts and sciences of tho Kornaus-and culinary per fection' must bo included among thom-to bo plunged into tho long period of darkness which marked tho middle ages. Whatever knowledge wo possess of their civilization wo owe to tho many monastic orders of Europe, whose members preserved and culti vated, among other things, the tra ditions of the culinary art until tho renaissance, in thc reign of Louis XIV. of Franco and his successors. Tho influence of France on he me nus of the world has conti? aed un interruptedly down to tho present day. The principles bf cooking, speaking of the latter in a general sense, were developed by the early Romans in a purely empirical fash ion. Now they have been made tho subject of scientific investigation and-found to rest on a firm and sound basis. The Russian physiol ogist, Pavlov, has clearly demon strated in his researches on diges tion that the ingestion of substances with a purely nutrient value does not sufficiently satisfy the demands of tho body. Taste and appetite must also bo taken into considera tion. Theso aro satisfied only by the addition to the food of spices and salt, and it is largely duo to the influence, of these ^condiments that tho proper amount of gastric juice is liberated by tho mucous mem brane of tho stomach. The action upon tho ?tomaeh of reflex stimuli is shown/by the favorable effect on the flow' of the gastric secretions made by mental impressions in duced by tho mere sight and color of a well prepared dish. In this manner Eppien (Reichs Medicinal Anzeiger) leads np to the broad claim that the proper preparation of all food, as demanded by the . es sential requirements of the culinary arty is not a luxury, but a physiolog ic*! necessity, and to develop a?u disseminate this knowledge is an act beneficial to tho publie welfare. There is happily an increasing inter est taken hy physicians to dietetics and cooking, for those two subjects go band in hand, and this interest it should be- thc sim of the medical man to transmit to his patients or to those who have care of them.
