THE RED MEMS PICNIC.

Sachems, Braves, Papooses and Pale
Faces at Natoma Grove.
Yesterday witnessed the annual excur-
sion and picnic of the Improved Order of
Red Men to Natoma Grove, near Folsom.
The train left the city at $50 A. NJ, and
was composed of six coaches and baggage
car. The Hussar Band accompanied the
excursionists and enlivened the ride
through the grain fields, vineyards and
orchards that line the route, with spirited
music.
The grove was still in excellent condition.
although the recent hot north winds had
begun to wither the native grasses. The
picnickers enjoyed themselves in the usual
manner by dancing, running races, ball
playing, etc. Many visited Folsom and
other neghboring localities during the day.
The Sachems and braves relieved their
pent-up savagery by occasional war
whoops that resounded in the groves and
died away among the surrounding hills in
weird echoes that startled the nesting
doves from their nests, but did no serious
damage TO the granite quarries and other
crops. The red men grew redder as the
day advanced and the heat became more
intense-especially those who took part in
the war dances.
Meantime, their psle-faced companions
looked on in wonderment at the antics of
the untutored savages, and all went merry
as any other red mems gathering around
the wickiups where some noble brave re-
turns with a side of hog meat" pilfered
from a settlers barn.
But no scalps were raised during the day,
and the best of order prevailed; and all re-
turned in the evening feeling as if-well,
as if they had been to Red Mems picnic

THE CENSUS.

Some Matters Concerning the Work
Soon to be Commenced.
W. A. Anderson, Supervisor of Census in
this district, has made public the following
facts for the information and guidance of
the public:
Enumerators are forbidden to give any
information of their work, under penalty
of criminal prosecution.
An effort will be made to have per
diem fixed for enumerators in all the diff
cult and thiniy settled districts of the
Second Supervisor District. Our Pacific
Coast people do not relish the idea of work
ing for the rates which might be acceptable
to those on the Atlantic side.
Any one refusing to answer the schedule
questions in the matter of taking the census
is liable to prosecution for misdemeanor, it
being such to refuse to give the required
information. All citizens should be
prompt, as well as ready, in giving the
enumerators the necessary information.
On the 22d day of June the work of col
Letting statistics of manufactures for the
report of the eleventh census will be inau-
gurated throughout the entire country.
The value of this report must depend
wholly upon the accuracy and thorough
ness with which manufacturers answer the
questions propounded.
After an enumerator has undertaken the
work of enumeration he is not at liberty
to quit at pleasure, but must complete his
work under the penalty of prosecution for
misdemeanor for refusal or neglect Acct
dent or illness is the only excuse. The
law is very strict in this regard.
Enumerators for Stockton, Sacramento
and Oakland will not be required to obtain
any statistics concerning mechanical indus
tries, as in these cities there will be special
enumerators for that duty. Unless special
enumerators are selected for institutions
such as almshouses, asylums, prisons, col
leges, ETC., the district enumerators will
take the census of all institutions in their
districts.
There seems to be little confusion re-
garding the boundaries of enumerator dis
tricts in Amador and San Joaquin counties
1t must be understood that the districts
were established on the township bounda-
ries of 1880. The township and ward
boundaries of those counties. as they ex-
listed in 1880. were accepted because the
Supervisor of Census was not advised of
any change. In Calaveras county the
changes were known, and thus the dis
tricts were framed in accordance Herewith

Those who are inclined to speak slight

driving everywhere that he could without
endangering life and limb. Finally he
returned home but subsequently he and
several friends came out. Some of these
were only sight-seers. One became tired
and is now in South Africa. Another went
to Australia. A third is now the
most devoted enthusiast the foothiu fruit
belt possesses.
He spent several weeks before locating
permanently in Placer, in various sections
OF Southern California, travelling through
all the orange districts of San Bernardino
and Los Angeles counties. He looked
through all the groves and examined the
fruit. But in all he found no inducements
sufficient to woo him from his love for the
pine clad hills of the upper counties. Now
be is busily at work. He has several
thousand orange trees planted and will put
in more. He expects more friends from
England to join him soon.
Captain j. j. Morrison, newspaper man
OF Loomis, says the orange groves of that
region never looked better despite the pc
culiar winter experienced. Many trees
have been planted this spring, and many
groves will be in bearing for the first time
next season.

THE WAIVER we pRINK.
How Poor People May Have Cool Drir
at Slight Expense.

How Poor People May Have Cool Drinks
at Slight Expense.
During the hot midsummer season
everybody relishes cool drinks, but many
persons cannot afford to take ice enough to
keep water cold in jars or tanks all day and
through the night. But in reality small
quantity of ice can be made to serve the
purpose, in this way:
If refrigerator is used, fill several
bottles of water each morning and lay
them on the ice. At mealtimes bottle
can be either set upon the table, or glasses
filled at the refrigerator. unless the latter
contains water-tank, as many refriger-
ators now do. Water cooled in this way, is
of better temperature for drinking than
if the ice be put into it.
If the family has no refrigerator, a large
box of sawdust, kept in the basement, will
answer the purpose quite well. Ice
wrapped in piece of blanket and buried
in sawdust will keep very well.
Whatever method is adopted to pre-
serve ice, the water used for drinking
should be boiled. 1t should not be
cooked" too long, but taken off as soon as
it comes to a sharp boil. After cooling,

tank. Bottling is preferable, because by
keeping the bottles well corked the water
is prevented from absorbing the impurities
of the atmosphere, which soon destroy its
fitness for drinking.
Boiling the water for drinking purposes
has the effect of destroying germs that
might, under certain conditions, breed
sickness. This is especially desirable in
cases where the water is taken from
streams that drain large sections of coun-
try, as the Sacramento and other rivers.
There are some families in this city who
have not used quart of water for drinking
purposes for years without first boiling it,
and all that have tried the bottling process
say it is the best way to insure ready
supply of cool, pure water at all times. 1t
is very little trouble to boil and bottle
water each morning while preparing the
breakfast, and by so doing, the danger of
contracting typhoid fever and certain other
diseases is greatly lessened, if not entirely
overcome.

He Gets Thirty Days In Jail-Plenty More
of Them at Large.
Martin Eeagan was again taken to the
lookup the other night by officer Lowell,
and in the Police Court yesterday he was
asked why he had not left town. the choice
having been given him by the Court on
Friday either to evacuate or serve thirty
days in the county Jail. Reagan said he
met Brach Doran, who threw about three
WHISTLES into him." and after that all was
dark to him.
Officer Lowell said he caught Reagan at
his old tricks, striking" people on the
streets for money.
Officer Franks volunteered the statement
that the prisoner had also accosted lady,
and upon her refusing to pay any attention
to him he insulted her, using the vilest of
Language.
Judge Buckley ordered the old commit
ment to issue, and Reagan will have to
serve thirty days. He deserves at least a
hundred
