In crossing the plains in 1852,
Tommy bod was gobbled up by the
Goshoot Indians, and for some months
remained a captive among them. He
says among other plumber obtained by
the Indians when they took his train,
was hand organ which an adventu
rous Italian was bringing out to Cali
sornia. The organ was big thing
among the Indians after they had
reached their village. The chief had
a man to sit in front of his hut and
grind it every night. 1t was set to play
" Yankee Doodle" and Yankee
Doodle it played every night, week
in and week out, without variation"
One night, in fooling with the
s. machine" the Indian grinder shifted
the top, and when he resumed the
crank, out came "Pop goes the
Weasel" The old chief listened q
moment, and, supposing the machine
was spoiled, seized his tomahawk, leap.
ed from the door of his hut, and with a
fierce yell Drained the discoverer OF the
new tune upon the spot.

Indian CannibalS.

A Canadian lumberman. whose camp
during the past winter has been on one
Of the tributaries of the Obitteebee lake,
within days travel of Fort Timiseo-
manque, one OF the Hudson Bay Com
pany's trading posts, tells fearful story
OF cannibalism in a family of Obitteebee
nilans living about ten miles from his
shanty. AS the winter advanced, the
snow became so deep and the game so
scarce that the Indians were sometimes
without food for two or three days at a
time. Ore day the owner Of the wig
wan returned after an unsuccessful
nunt, to find tina. his squaw had killed
one of the children, and the family were
satisfying their hunger upon its half
cooked flesh. The old Indian, without
asking any questions, joined in the hor
rid iepast. The family lived upon the
body of the child for three days. An
other unsuccessful hunt was followed
by the sacrifice of another child to ap-
pease the hunger Of the sulviving mem
ber5 of the family, and next the old
squaw, both of the latter having been
tomahawEed by the head of the family.
This reduced the family to the old IN
dian and his boy, fourteen years of age.
The boy, upon the last return of his
father without any game, knowing that
one OF them must die, deliberately shot
the old man, and lived upon the remains
until that supply gave out, when he
made his way to the lumherman' 5 camp
and related the facts given above.

Panama Aili%atOrS.

The lively alligator IS disturbing The
inhabitants of Panama. He is found
III Ill the streams that empty into the
Panama bay, and lives upon the cattle,
horses, dogs, deer and other animals
which come down to drink, Selling them
and dragging them 10 some quiet nook
in the swamp, where he luxu1ates upon
them at leisure. Instead of being a
sluggish animal, as is commonly sup
posed, the alligator is quick in his move
ments. One got before the train upon
the track Of the Panama railway lately,
while it was going at the rate Of ten
miles an hour, and kept ahead Of it
until convenient swamp was reached.
Some plan 10y which these animals
could be got rid OF would be eagerly
welcomed by the people of Panama and
vicinity. The hide makes poor leather,
the lard is used as salve. and the teeth
as talismans against snake bites, but all
this does not consume the present
stock, much lie render profitable any
increase of it,

United States Imports from England.

The figures furnished by the Bureau
OF Statistics, at Washington, show that,
during the year 1870, the United States
bought of Great Britain more than Rus.
STA, Belgium, Italy and France com.
blned, and eight millions more than
Germany, the next largest buyer of
English goods. British exports to the
United States were, in 1910, e5 2S3, O2O.
but in 1870 they were EDS 1886, 1894. This
tact may bring some comfort to those
humorous souls who anticipate the pos.
slbility of war growing out of the Ala.
bama claims muddle. England will 90
to war with her best customer, stife her
keen commercial instincts, and close up
the clothing halls of Birmingham and
Sheffield, and the great linen markets
OF Dundee, about the time that the
Flantamour comet strikes the earth,
ana not before. And, as England
bought from us as much as we bougbt
from her during that period we should
be alike stupid to go to war on so slight
an issue as that OF indirect DAMAGES
arising out of the Alabama depreda.

English farmers have long protested
in vain against the destruction of har-
vests entailed by tox-hunting. When
their complaints were disregarded, they
tried to build higher fences, but this
was expensive, and rough rider was
apt to wreck yards of fencing by one
bold leap. Now, however, it is said that
they have devl'ed Il plan which, if gen
orally introduced, will almost entirely
stop the great English sport. They
have begun to place wires above their
fences, at such Il height that horse can
leap neither above nor below them, and
have soput an etiectual quietus on fol
lowing the hounds. In test case
brought before the courts, the right Of
tenants to prevent their landlords from
hunting over their leaseholds was tri
umphantly established. Reynard will
probably lead a far quieter life in Eng
land than heretofore.

How to Eat an Orange.

Brazil is great country for oranges,
and the Brazuians know how to eat the
delicious fruit. 70 enjoy an orange
thoroughly, says one Of the newspaper
correspondents in Professor Agasslz's
present expedition, you should eat in
Brazilian fashion: You slice q segment
of the flower end deep enough to go
completely through the skin; then re-
placing the segment, thrust fork
through it to the very centre of the
orange, if the tines are long enough
Holding The fork in your left hand, peel
the orange with q very sharp, small
tableknite, slicing all the skin off, the
segment at the base of the fork being
in this operation shield to prevent any
danger of cutting the left thumb
Now, with two cuts of the knife, dis
sect out the pulp Of one of the pockets,
and convey it to the mouth. Follow
this up, pocket by pocket, and the
skins OF the pockets remain on the
fork, like the leaves of book open
until the covers touch.

The Fur Trade of Alaska.

A recent number of the Alaska Herald
furnishes some significant figures rela-
tive to the Alaska furseal-slin mo-
nopoly. From the tabulated statements
of sales Of these skins, it appears that
the Alaska Commercial Company aver
ages from $40 to ST. per skin raw, while
the Aleuts, who capture the animals
and perform the work of curing, get
only forty cents per skin for each fur
seal taken. This Alaska tur-seal-sllin,
perfected in its highest luster, is rap
idly displacing all others in public esi-
nation for the manufacture of sacques
and other gtrmcuts, and, rs in the Lon
don market they have virtually no com
petition, the monopoizers have the op
portunity Of making still further adj
vances in prices, and as our Government
has given this company monopoly OF
the business for twenty years, they Will
undoubtedly make " very profitable
thing out OF il. At tie same time, the
effect Of the monopoly is to reduce the
A!euts to yirlu.l slavery under the
absolute despotism OF n monopoly, from
which there is no hop of escap', unle $
some means can be adopted which Will
give them fair pr 4, Theannexation
OF Alaska is but $ my affair if it has
nothing to show for il hut such grasp
ing monopoly as this.

Capturing a Railroad Train.

The Rondout Freeman relates that a
few days since, as an eastwal d. bound
train on the Rondout and Oswego rail
road stopped at Shokan. the Collector
OF the town Of Olive was on hand with
posse of men and a chain to prevent
the train from proceeding any further.
The chain was passed through the back
end of the rear car, but before it could
be fastened to anything substantial the
engineer was made aware of how mat
tiers stood, and he threw the throttle
wide open and started the train with a
jump. The effect on the Collectors
posse, who had hold of the loose end of
the chain, was the same as that on the
Indians who attempted 10 capture
train on the Pacific road with Il laria..
