Uncle Sam and His Indian.

Taken all around, Uncle Sans COM
missary department is queer institu-
ton. No doubt its cost to the govern
ment is amply sufficient, but its supplies
lack the variety longed for by the Amer
lean stomach, and much of its food
favors are lost by being manipulated by
cooks who are really foreign noblemen in
disguise, and who enter the regular army
to seek out the secrets of its success.
The commissary department will issue
good coffee and then allow company
cooks to boil it to death in -mouthed
complexities, staring at the sky, whose
iron sides still shine with the superhuous
oil from the recently boiled company ba-
con. The commissarv department will
issue stacks of candles in the long sum-
mer days, and the court-martial depart
ment will issue orders that the soldiers
shall not burn them after taps, and taps
and twilight will arrive about the same
time.

aside for the gambols of the American

The Town of Pullman.

Pullman, SIS miles south of Spokane
Falls, is the second town in Importance
in Whitman county; it is situated at
the junction of tbs Spokane & Palouse
branch of the N. P and tho o. R. & N.
railroads, and is situated in the
center of the "garden spot" Of
the famous Palouse county, which has
no equal IN the world as an agricultural
district. The peculiar location of Pull
man requires all railroads that wish to
tap this region to pass through it, which
in time will make it railroad center.
The town has grown in the past two
years from hamlet to a town of 700
population, and now has prosperous
and substantial growth. Over half a
million of dollars was paid last fall at
Pullman, to farmers of the neighborhood
for their products, which is as much as
is paid in most towns of 1000 people. AS
a business point Pullman has no equal,
and an invitation is extended to every
one seeking new location to come and
investigate our resources and our future.
The average yield of wheat in this vicin-
ity is 40 bushels per acre; of oats, from
70 to 80; of fax, 90; barley, IS, and
hay 81 tons. The climate is all that
could be desired.

to mean Uncle SANS idle dog. He is
made victim to the plenty of the COM
nlissary's larder. And even the indus
trious Indian, that quick-witted child of
nature, cannot comprehend the use Of
the many articles issued to him. A cor
respondent over the range tells about
seeing an Indian who had never seen
any of the pale-face style of food, and
came in from the hunt to the reservation
and drew his rations. He made light
meal Of unground coffee the first day,
and, as he over-ate, the coffee swelled in
him and he had difficulty in buttoning
his pants around the pain he had on
hand. In a day or two, as soon as he
had succeeded in getting his interior de-
partment Quoted down little, he tackled
his rations of candles
These he decided to parboil in order
to save trouble from indigestion. The
dish was not SO much of glittering sue
cess as he had anticipated. and as he re-
morsefully picked the candle wicking
from his teeth he made some remark that
grated harshly on the aesthetic ears of
those who stood near. He then tried a
meal of yeast powder, and then took a
pint of vinegar to wash it down. At first
there was feeling Of glad surprise in
his stomach, which rapidly gave place to
unwilling remorse. A can Of yeast pow
der in an Indians midst don't seem to be
prepared for pint of vinegar, and the
result of such an unfortunate circum-
stance is not gratifying. 1t took him
about week to get mp another meal for
himself. Then he fricaseed a couple of
pounds of laundry soap and ate that.
He then went off into the woods again
SO full of I've that he loudly lied about
the small string of fish he caught the
next day.-Puyallup Commerce.

The SUN as q Curative Agent.

Court the sun, if you are one Of the un-
happy ones who lie awake O. nights. The
very worst soporifc is laudanum, and the
very best sunshine. Therefore it is very
plain that poor sleepers should pass as
many hours as possible in the sunshine, and
as few as possible in the shade. Many
women are martyrs, and yet they do not
know it. They shut the sunshine out of
their houses and their hearts, they wear
walls, they carry parasoIs, they do all that
is possible to keep off the subtlest and yet
most potent influence which is intended to
give them strength and beauty and cheer
fulness Is it not time to change this, and
so get color and roses in their pale cheeks.

Be careful of the horses mouth. Men who
Jerk the reins because they are too mad to
be sensible and humane, should have bit
placed in their own mouths and have it
ierl1ed by some brutal fellow who would
enjoy giving pain. In breaking colts, be
very careful about the mouth, and never
bit an animal that has o sore mouth while
it continues sore. The mouth of the horse
should be more frequently examined than
it usually is. Sometimes there is an in
flammation that needs attention. Some
times the teeth need attention, and occa-
sionally it may even be necessary to draw
a tooth. 1t is by no means uncommon that
the poor condition of horse can be traced
to some ailment of the mouth which pre-
vents the proper mastication of the food.
1t is not much trouble 70 opon the mouth
and look into it, and it will often prevent

Rev. Mcdonald, who left here for Col
vile two weeks ago, reports himself as
being we'll pleased with that country.
Childrens' Sunday was observed here
with appropriate exercises which were
enjoyed, as well as circumstances would
permit, by large audience. We feel
more and more the need of better ac-
commodations for Sunday services; also
for public school, a need which we
hope will be supplied in the near future.

SEATTLE IN ASHES.
The Entire business Portion of the
City Burned.

Seattle was visited by confagration
last week which, in number of houses
and value of property destroyed, has
never been equaled in the west and ex-
ceeded in the east only by Chicago's
great fire in 1871. In truth, the largest
city in the territory has been wiped out,
but will arise phoenix like from the -ashes.
The fire broke out ip--the Pontius
building at 2:3o PIN, and ragged with
unprecedented fury until every business
block in the city save one were reduced
to ashes. The home fire department
worked valiantlY to stop its progress
but without success. Tacoma was given
the alarm and had a fire apparatus in
Seattle in sixty-three minutes, covering
distance of forty-two miles
-Four persons lost their lives by being
crushed under falling walls. The losses
in everything is variously estimated at
from $35,O00,O00 $40,000,000. The
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad
Company is a heavy loser in trackage
and depots and 100000 in stock had
Just been subscribed in Seattle for it.
The heaviest losers are H. L. Yesler,
ex-Gov. Watson G. Squire, J. NJ. Cole
man, Oregon improvement Company,
A. A. Denny. Seattle Transfer Company,
Oregon Railway & Navigation Company,
several banks, newspaper offices, Bailey
Gatzert, Schwabacher, Bro. & Co., Tok-
las, Singerman & Co., Safe Deposit Co.,
Puget Sound Shore railroad, Columbia
& Puget Sound railroad, Judge Thomas
Burke, Dexter Horton, Z. Saunderson,
George F. Frye, Stetson & Post; John
Collins, who owned the Occidental hotel,
valued at 100000 and insured for $685.
600, and many Others.
The fire burnt over a tract of $50
acres in the heart of the business por-
ton of the city, and left but one small
block standing. The insurance will
amount to about one-t third of the losses;
but every loser has announced his in
tention to rebuild Immediately, and this
time Seattle will be city of brick and
stone exclusively. Relief for the home
less and suffering has been pouring in
generously from all quarters, and all are
regularly cared for by authorized COM
mittees.
The Post-Intelligencer lost all of its
presses and material except small job

were conveyed to a private house, and

equal to the occasion. The spirit that
produced this miniature daily will build
Seattle a larger and better city than be-
fore, and will make the Intelligencer the

MAKING BASE-8ALLS.
Automatic Machines That Wind Much Bot.
ter Than Human Hands.

Automatic Machines That Wind Much Bot.
ter Than Human Hands.
Winding base-balls by hand Is a
thing Of the past. Machines have been
invented to do the work automatically,
low. Each machine winds two balls at
one time. A little para rubber ball
weighing three-quarters of an ounce,
around which one turn has been made
with an end of skein of old-fashioned
gray stocking-yarn, is slipped into the
machine. Then another, after which
the boy in charge touches lever, the
machine starts. and the winding be-
gins. The rubber ball is hidden in a
few seconds and in its place appears a
little gray yarn ball that rapidly
grows larger and larger. When it ap-
pears to about half the size of the
regulation baseball there is click,
the machine stops. the yarn is cut, and
the boy picks out the ball and losses it
into basket. When this basket is
full it is passed along to another boy
who runs similar machine. where O.
half-ounce layer OF worsted yarn is
put on.
The next machine adds q layer of
strong white cotton thread, and by
watching closely as the white appears
on the surface of the grey the beauty
of the winding machine can BIO appre-
ciated. There is perfect regularity
and no point where the thread crosses
oftener than in another. A coating of
rubber cement it next applied, and a
half-ounce layer of the very best fine
worsted completes the ball with the
exception of the cover. Each ball
when completed must weigh five and a
quarter ounces and measure nine and
a quarter inches in circumference. The
minute differences in the balls are
equalized by the thickness of the
cover.
Every ball and cover is weighed be-
fore the cover is sewed on. The cover
resembles two figure IS in shape and is
cut from selected and specially pre-
pared horse hides. There is only one
kind Of professional dead-ball made,
the supposed differences lying in the
cover and stamps only. The patentees
of the winding machines employ about
500 hands at their factory in this city
and have about 1000 dozen balls now
in stock. Several cheap grades of
balls are also manufactured, those re-
tuiling for five and ten cents being
made from pressed leather shuvings.
