INSANE INDIANS.

Civilization Spreads Another Grave Malady Among the Red Men. It is expected that within six months the National Indian Insane Asylum, just completed in Canton, S. D., will be taxed to its utmost capacity. Insanity among the Indians is growing, most cases having resulted from religious fanaticism. They are naturally superstitious ana habitually work themselves into frenzies by their ghost dances and other weird ceremonies. As these feeble-minded red men received little care or attention from their relatives or tribesmen. Senator Pettigrew took the matter in hand and after asking for an appropriation of $45,000 in 1899, which was later increased to $<50,000, he had plans drawn and immediately commenced construction. It is a peculiar but significant fact that there was practically no insanity among Indians until their association with the whites. As it is, a very large percentage of cases are found among the half-breeds. This is entirely consistent with the criminal records, which show that the halfbreeds, instead of being bettered by the introduction of white blood, seem to rather combine the iniquities of the two races. Even the insanity cases among the fullbloods are shown by their maladies to be the indirect result of the supremacy of the paleface. According to this it is a fact that as civilization grows among the Indians the number of patients will increase. The structure is a handsome one, even for the government. Pressed briek and white stone were used exclusively and the roofing ia of slate. The building is in the form of a Maltese cross, 164 feet long and 144 feet wide in the center and will accommodate about 75 patients. There are new at the national asylum in Washington eight or nine insane Indians, and there is illustrated among these the dlf-

QUEEN ALEXANDRA, OF GREAT BRITAIN, REPORTED SERIOUSLY ILI

QUEEN ALEXANDRA.

GROWING MACARONI WHEAT.

Great Northwest Equal* Italy in Producing Thia Variety. Macaroni as good as that of Italy, has been grown in the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska. So successful

have been government tests that American manufacturers are offering No. 2 northern prices for wild goose macaroni wheat, which was formerly invariably rejected. It has been the theory of the millers that these wheats contain gluten in too large quantities for making good bread. It is also difficult to mill, because of the hard grain, and its flour has been found gritty and too coarse to compete with that of other wheats. Macaroni wheats differ radically from the ordinary bread wheats and in the field look more like barley than wheat. The thorongh establishment of this industry will do much for the seini-arid plains. A million or more of acres can thus be given to profitable wheat raising which, on account of drought, have heretofore been entirely idle or less profitably employed. The farmers of the West and Northwest are awakening to the importance of this industry and carload lots of macaroni wheat are In demand for seed next year. The official tests showed a yield of one-third to onehalf more per acre than any other wheats grown side by side’ with them, and in 1000, when other wheats were almost a complete failure in thetDakotas, the macaroni varieties produced a good yield of grain of excellent quality. The section best suited for raising macaroni wheats, according to the government map, begins west of the fifth meridian and includes North and South Dakota, Nebraska, except extreme eastern part; eastern Colorado, Western and central Kansas, western Oklahoma, extreme eastern New Mexico and central and western Texas. The United States imports over 16,000,000 pounds of macaroni annually, at an expense of SBOO,000. Judge Darling of Vermont has formally assumed the duties of Assistant Sect*tary of the Navy.

His Humble Beginning.

T!)«e is * certain great man here in town who hates nothing quite so much Ip answering personal questions, fie toed out on one recent occasion, and the gueet of honor was an Englishwoman who is filled with the keenest and meet ingenuously expressed interest *n America and Americans. "I find you perfectly wonderful over here,” said she between the salad and dessert “The lives of your prominent men read like romances. Your poor boys grow up to be millionaires and your great men have had the most extraordinary beginnings. One of your Presidents, lam told, was actually a butcher, and the father of a newly made French princess was a tailor. Now you, Mr. Blank,” turning smilingly tn the great man at her elbow, “I’m sure your history must be most interesting. Do please tell me, at what did you begin life?' The great man stared at her In disapproval. "Madam,” he said, “I began life as a baby.”—Washington Post.

A Blacksmith’s Story.

Gpodland, Kan., Dec. 23.—N. E. Albertson, a local blacksmith, had almost decided to give up his shop altogether on account of Rheumatism, which had Crippled him so that at times he could not use bls hammer. His shoulders and arms were so sore that he couldn’t sleep at night. He pad suffered for years, but was gradually getting worse till at last he had I bout made up his mind to give up. hit just then he heard of some wonJerfjil cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's Sidney Pills and thought he would try for a cure once more. They cured him completely and he has not a trace of Rheumatism left. The shop will not be given up and Mr. Albertson may be seen there any day bard at work as if nothing had ever ailed him.

Limitations.

The savages were much cast down. "The trouble with us,” quoth they, pathetically, “is that we don’t know when We are licked. Only a little while ago some Anglo-Saxons came here and shot Us quite a bit, and devastated more or less of our country. We supposed we were licked, and therefore civilized, but the moment we went out in good society, what was onr chagrin to discover that we were not! Mortifying? Oh, vastly!” Now the Ineffectual efforts of these simple people to say “vawstly” were truly pitiful.—Detroit Journal.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one Way |o cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumblingsound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness U the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and tills tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; mne cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition or the mucou»e>urfaces.

Feed the Entire World.

The United States is the great breed producing country of the earth, and if our supply of foodstuffs was suddenly cut off half the people of other countries would starve to death. Recently published statistics show that the United States sells approximately $1,000,000,000 worth of surplus agricultural products in a year. It feeds the armies of Boers and English, and a squeeze In prices In America is felt all over the world. England is the b6st customer of this country In food supplies. In 1900 we sold her $408,000,000 worth of farm products. Germany spent here $184,000,000 for agricultural products. About half of ?hls was for cotton, the rest was for food. France buys annually from us about $45,000,000 worth of agricultural products, mostly bread and meat.
