of tbe same kind as those from the Fall River grave. In this 

 case several series of perpendicular slits vcere made in a leather 

 belt, and around the separated parts the brass was rolled, forming 

 short tubes abouta quarter of an inch long. Three remaining 

 parallel rows of these were made, about the length of a tube apart. 

 From some sites I have seen longer brass tubes, probably used as 

 beads or pendants, though a number might easily have been 

 arranged in a belt. The position of the body and the articles 

 found at Fall River would place the burial there in the seventeenth 

 century, though Longfellow's ballad has aided a different belief, 

 not quite original with the poet. 



Mohawk sites afford many curious ai tides, auiong which are 

 thin plates of copper, one edge delicately serrated for a fine saw. 

 These are recent, and were used in making combs and other bone 

 and horn articles. I have not seen these elsewhere.

Harmotome from a Canadian Locality. 



The writer has recently observed harmotome in a specimen col- 

 lected by Dr. A. C. Lawson (now in the museum of the Geological 

 Survey, Ottawa) from one of the silver-bearing true fissure veins 

 which cut the black argillites of the Animikie at one of the mines 

 in the immediate vicinity of Rabbit Mountain, about twenty-two 

 miles west south-west of Port Arthur, in the district of Thunder 

 Bay, Lake Superior. The crystals, twins of the usual form, are 

 not more than four millimelres in length, and are implanted for 

 the most part on calcite. The associated minerals are purple 

 fluorite, pyrite, and another sulphide not yet fully determined. 

 It may be of some interest to add this, the first recorded occur- 



AMONG THE PUBLISHERS. 



The current number of The Illustrated American gives an in- 

 teresting article from its special correspondent about the Indian 

 troubles, illustrated with portraits of Gen. Miles and Sitting Bull, 

 and scenes in and around the Pine Ridge Agencj'. 



— Babyhood begins the new year with every appearance of 

 prosperity. In its January nuuiber are " Home Gymnastics for 

 Young Children," by Dr. Mary Taylor Bi?sell; and " Mumps,'' by 

 the editor, Dr. Yale. In the department of home instruction, to 

 which Babyliood pays much attention, we find an article on " The 

 First Month in French," which is an illustration of a method of 

 teaching young children a foreign language. The author is Mr. 

 Louis Heiiprin. 



— The next number of the Publications of the American Acad- 

 emy of Political and Social Science will be distinctly a foreign 

 one. Three of the leading articles are by foreign scholars. The 

 first, by the eminent savant Professor Boehm-Bawerk, on the 

 Austrian economists, contains an account of the recent work in 

 economics by the new school in Austria. Professor Ritchie of 

 Oxford (England), and Professor Ashley of Toronto (Canada), also 

 contribute valuable articles. The most interesting feature of the 

 number, however, is an account of the reform in railway rates in 

 Austria. 



In dyspepsia the stomach 

 fails to assimilate the food. The 

 Acid Phosphate assists the 

 weakened stomach, making the 

 process of digestion natural and 

 easy. 



Dr. R. S. McOoMB, Philadelphia, says: 



' ' Used it in nervous dyspepsia, with suc- 

 cess." 



Dr. W. S. Leonabd. Hinsdale, N. H., 

 says: 



" The best remedy for dyspepsia that ha 

 ever come under my notice . ' ' 



Dr. T. H. Andrews, Jefferson Medical 

 College, Philadelphia, says: 



' ' A wonderful remedy which gave me 

 most gratifying results in the worst forms of 

 dyspepsia' '

MEANS 



HEALTH, VIGOR, VIVACITY, GOOD MORALS. 



Disinfection, to be effective, must be 

 continuous. But one device, namely, 

 the 



SHERMAN "KING" VAPORIZER 



meets this requirement. This appa- 

 ratus consists of an iron vessel with a 

 tightly fitting lid, held down with a 

 screw, and inclosing a porous cup, 

 which is saturated with a volatile dis- 

 infecting fluid. A small screw valve is 

 arranged on the side of the case. Open- 

 ing both lid and valve, a current of an- 

 tiseptic vapor issues, carrying with it 

 the volatile disinfectants. 



Simple, Self-Acting, Inexpensive, and 

 Infallible in operation; it absolutely 

 purifies the schoolroom, hotel, dwelling, 

 sleeping car. and all places within 

 doors, however polluted. It is a power- 

 ful antiseptic, sterilizes disease germs, 

 preventing infection, and removes all 

 dangerous gases. 



Three sizes, S3.50, S5.00 and $8.00. Each 

 Vaporizer sold is filled ready for use. No care 

 except to replenish once in two months at a cost 

 of 4 to 8 cents, according to size.
