You asked me forsome description
4i; the Indian Sure Dance, The Ittrdiane
..,that I have pati with --believe, that
there is ope God, over all, hut tat to
bis white childrbn he gave a book (the
Bible) to teach them how they are to
serve Him, while to his red -children
'Ale gave nobook, tint by, visions and
4teamp that come to certain Indians in
each band, he snakes known his will
toward them This it is given by
nrutiibertof years he' is• n to have�th that
duct of the sun dance, and he becomes
-the, i(lastel:gf,ceremonies During�the
' winter or summer p`recediii"•thedance
some of the Indians have dreams that
indicate that by going'through some
of the sun -dance ordeals, either the
torture, or fasting, ar dancing ordeal,
Ilse.9r some member of his family will
get relief from some sickfiess they may
have, or they will earn pardon for
some past misdeeds. A date is fixed
upon for . holding the dance, and word
is sent to the other reserves, and a
week before the time the visitors begin
to arrive. This interval is aperrt�ID'-.
,horse racing. gambling. etc. A soi t of
payiliou made of long Rules is erected,
and inside this skeleton of a 'building)
the dance is.held. The three principal
features of the recent Liiat4 lrehSof
dance were: fasting, dancing Ufa& itre
torture. To a, nambee,it was, revealed,
by , dream that they; should -fag ,and
for three days and three nights they
neither ate:nor drank,. and 1 o coir
tinually incline on :.tr; little WI*
such as boys ate fond of tnakidg1 frona.
the branches of a certain kind of bush.
The dancers shuffled their feet in a
:)-clumsy sort of way, keeping .time to
the beating of a large drum. This was
kept up for perhaps twenty minutes at
a time, with a breathing space of one
or two minutes between each dance
The same dancers continued durir °
the' three days and arise nights, illi
without breakixg their fast. The tor-
ture consists in pinching up the skin
on each shoulder in front; through this
'double fold of skin a hole is pierced,
and a stick run through the two holes,
to either end of this stick a strong
string is fastened, and at, a distance of
a few feet from the body these strings
are attached at the same point to a
long rope, which, at a considerable
height, is fastened to the centre pole
of the pavilion. The man then leans
back so that the weight of his body
comes on the rope, and in this position
sways to and fro until the skin tears
out, or until, as is frequently the case,
he faints. If he succeeds in bearing
up until the stick is torn nut, there is
great rejoicing, the spirit is pleased
with the brave man, and will grant
that for which the torture is borne.
In one: case the incisions were in the
back of the shoulders, strings were
fastened in these holes and tied to the
__.skull of a buffalo; in this way he walk-
s erg'• three times around the pavilion,
dragging the skull after him. Only
the Indians who have been guided by
dreams participate in these hideous
rites, but all the others are there as
spectators. As soon as the dance is
declared over, every Indian folds his
tent and moves away, as the spirits
would be much displeased if any should
remain in the vicinity of this sacred
ground. The pavilions ate never
touched afterwards, and are never
used a second tithe.
A LIFE SAVING MEDICINE.
,- I was attacked severely lest winter with
Diarrhoea, Crams and Colio and thought
I was going to die, but fortunately 1 tried
Dr,,Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.
and note I oan thank this excellent remedy
for saving my life. MRs S. KELLE1T, MIN -
DEN, ONT.
Last session a lively debate took
place in the House over a brother of
Hon. Wilfred Laurier-, who is a post-
master in a small town in Quebec, and
who was going to lose the job on ac•
count of the Public Works Depart-
ment haying another hnilding for a
postoffice in the town. 1' now turns
out that the Pnstrnaster General has
decided to leaves the po'tofce where
it is, and therefore Mr L turier's bro-
ther will retain his c•,nie tion as post-
master with the department.

Mrs Annie Saunders, the oared lady,

her cure: -
"It is with much pleasure that I testify
to the value of your wonderful Paine's Col-
ery Compound. 'I vasa great sufferer from
severe attacks:of neuralgia in the left ovary.
At times the attacks were so acute I thought
I would lose my reason.
"Several doctors treated me, and I was a
patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton.
I obtained no relief from medical treatment.
The doctors said unless I had the ovary
taken away I could not be cured.
"Instead of submitting to the operation,
I used Paine's Celery Compound, and I am
thankful your valuable medicine cured me.
I feel just like a new woman, and I would
like all sufferers to know just what this
great medicine has done for me."
MARRIED IN BED.
A rather amusing accident occerred
in connection with a recent football
match which took place in Calcutta.
A shining light of one of the well
known local clubs was engaged to be
married to a very charming damsel,
and the date for the ceremony had
drawn very nigh. Unfortunately,
however,a day or two before that fixed
for his long drop into the matrimonial
state, this gallant young sportsman
was so unlucky as to break the collar
bone in a hotly contested match.
What was to be done? '
The cake was ordered, the guests in-
vited, the simpkin almost in the ice,
his frock coat and lavender kersey-
meres invitingly ready in their tissue
paper packing, and yet the inexorable
doctor forbade him to move from his
bed.
It says a good deal for the young
titan's determination when he turned
and said: "Bring down the parson,
bring along the wedding guests, and
the wedding cake, not forgetting the
bride, and I will be married!" And he
was.
BABY NEARLY DIED.
Sirs, -My baby was very bad with sum-
mer complaint, and I thought he would die
until I tried Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawberry. With the first dose I noticed
a change for the better, and now he is
cured, and fat and healthy. MRS. A. NoR-

HOT WEATHER DONT'S.
Don't worry about the weather.
Don't walk on the sunny side of the
street.
Don't work unless you have to, and
then work slowly.
Don't fail to carry an umbrella tf yon
are exposed long to the sun's rays.
Don't drink anything to calls. Ice
water is about as bad as anything else
Don't use a fan. The exercise of work-
ing it will overcome all the good you ex-
perience.
Don't think it is the hottest day you
ever experienced, and if you do think it,
don't say it.
Don't be afraid of perspiration. It is
a good sign, and it reduces the tempera-
ture of the body.
If you follow out the majority of these
don'ts you will feel that you followed
the injunction to t1eep cool.
Don't feel it a duty to look at the ther
momoter every ten or fifteen minutes
during the middle of the day.
Don't make a meal largely made up of
meats. Vegetables come at this season
of the year espeoially for the benefit of
man.
GET THE BEST.
The public are ton intelligent to purchase
a worthless article a' second time, on the
contrary they want the best! Physicians
are virtually unanimous in saying Scott's
Emulsion is the beet form of Cod Liver Oil,
Shearer, Mich., which only a few
years ago was a promising and pr os-
perous burg of about 300 inhabitants,
with sawmills, salt blocks and sevet,al
other industries, successfully operated,
and mineral water springs in close
proximity, is now being abandoned.
Almost all the business houses are va-
cant, as are private dwellings, with
the exception of a few occupied by
Indian farnilies. The removal of the
sawmills and other plants has caused
an exodus, but there is another reason.
A short time ago Hugh McKinnon, a
hermit, was found dead with bullet
holes in his body. The village, it is
claimed, has been haunted by his ghost
ever since. So great has been the
agitation among the superstitious that
scores have left town even b efore the
mills shut down.
