DIGGER INDIAN FARE.
A Chiefs Account of Butter Made From
Bugs, Gnats and Grasshoppers.

mo acorns no Indians, " sententious-
" said Chief Bonnell, the captain" OF
the remnant of the Yosemite tribe, to
Los Angeles Times correspondent. In
his rude and imperfect form of speech
the chief without a following substanti-
ally said:
"The acorn crop of this valley has
been failure for the past five years.
Whenever the crop is failure in this
valley the crop is bountiful on the coast
range, and when it is large there it is
sparse here.n No explanation can be
given of this seeming popularity, only
that lit just happened So" The Mono
and other Indians that frequented this
valley to gather the acorn crop come
no more, and have abandoned this love

fessional sight-seers. Through the

the foam in fresh water, and thus they
have good, fresh butter. Butter is also
made of gnats and grasshoppers. The
grasshoppers are caught, threaded on
strings and filed away for future use
until they become little mellow, as in
a green state they are considered too
rich for the red mans blood The
grasshoppers are caught by forming a
line of women and children and driving
them into u ditch dug by the women

impromptu meal is wanted, the grass is
set on fire, and the jumping grass
hopper is not only caught, but it is
cooked at the same time.

Exercising the Devil in India.

A strange case of superstition was
recently investigated before the cor
oner of Bombay. A Hindoo mill hand
named Ramji Dali had for some time
been suffering from swollen knee-joints
and pains in various parts of the body.
On Aug. "a he went to the mill to get
was taken ill ON the road. He was
brought home on the back of friend
in an almost unconscious state and
was placed in sitting posture, being
held up by his father. A man named
Dec, who was present, suggested that
he was possessed of devil in order to
expel which Dec swayed himself about
in front of the sick man, seized hold of
his hair and demanded of the devil who
he was. Not receiving a reply, he
struck the sick man violently with
rattan, when the latter fell back in
dying condition; but before his death
another friend took the rattan and beat
the patient, both men swaying their
bodies to and fro and protesting to be
possessed with the spirit of god. The
tlogging was intended to drive out the
devil. Dali died almost Immediately
without complaint. The widow mar
rated these facts to the coroner and de-
scribed both fioggings to be very vio-
lent. The medical evidence show
ed that there were several bruises on
the back and an abrasion on the right
hip, but that the cause of death was
hemorrhage from rupture of the spleen,
which was probably not due to the
logging. The jury found verdict ac-
cordingly, adding that there was no
evidence to show how the spleen be-
came ruptured. .-London Times.

Brook Farm.

From reminiscent article by Robert
Carter in the Century we quote the fol-
lowing: ut was delightful gather
ing of men and women of superior cul-
tivation, who led charming life for
few years, laboring in its fields and
philandering in its pleasant woods. 1t
was little too much of picnic for
serious profit, and the young men and
maidens were rather unduly addicted
to moonlight wanderihgs in the pine
grove, though it is creditable to the
sound moral training of New England
that little or no harm came of these
wanderings-at least not to the maid
ems. So far as the relation of the sexes
is concerned, the Brook Farmers, in
spite of their free manners, were as
pure, believe, as any other people.
"The enterprise failed pecuniarily,
after seeming for some years to have
succeeded. and Brook Farm
became the site of the town poor-house.
Hawthorne, who lost all his savings in
the enterprise, has sketched it, in some
respects faithfully, in his "Blithdale
Romance" may remark, by the
way that while he was a member he
was chiefly engaged in taking care oi
the pigs, that being found by expert.

A REPORT from Washington states
that in the Fifth Census District of
Pennsylvania Hungarians and Poles
and many Italians in Lackawanna,
Luzerne and Carbon counties have re-
fused to give any census information,
even to interpreters. Many of these
men are designated by their employers
by numbers, each man wearing his
number on his person and answering
to it. Census Superintendent Porter
has informed Supervisor Ashley of
the district that it is impossible that
the Office should help to perpetuate
such q state of affairs as reported,
when large numbers of laborers are
treated more like beasts of burden
than men, and known only by numbers.
They will therefore be canvassed by
name and not by number, even if il
should require an army of enumerators
and interpreters.-Joeu7M of tie

WHEN the poor struggling day lab

forget that 37I cents of that goes to

storekeeper This is the way the Re

eral Election Law and doubtless will be
able to whip into line those conservative
members and Senators who are opposed
to legislation of this kind. The scheme
which was partially agreed upon at the
House caucus last week is of character
that will warrant the Democrats in going
almost any lengths to prevent its passage.

The proposition to give members of
the House who are not chairmen of COM
mittees the services of clerk for their
official correspondence is languishing.
While it would probably receive the sup
port of majority of the members, it
does not seem to meet with the approval
of the Republican managers, the Speaker
particularly. The fact remains, however,
that members of the House are more in
need of clerks than are the Senators.

unless they want to do so. X.

Canadians Complain Now Against Ameri-
can Lumber Competition.
OTTAWA, October 15.-Four hundred
carloads of lumber have lett here for the
American market since the removal of the
export duty. The amount awaiting ship
ment here is over 200, 600, 900 feet. Both the
Empire and Gazette attack the Government
for removing the duty on the ground that
it will allow American lumbermen to enter
Canada, compete with Canadians and
deplete our forests. The latter says:
Moreover, protection and free trade have
been mixed in way to give the United
States all the benefits of protection without
securing to Canada those which come from
free trade. 1t may be that the Government
will show that the advantage of the pine
regions will overcome the injury to other
districts. But on the face OF the trade re-
turns the situation does not look hopeful TO
such an end. There has been nothing ad-
vanced in favor of removing the export
duty on saw logs that could not be urged in
of abandoning any other plank In
the protective policy. Protection has done
good to Canadian industries; reciprocity
treaty might be negotiated that would do
further good; but in this lumber business
the Government has abandoned protection
without securing reciprocity"

News Of the Day.

The directors of Homewood Driving Park
mean to be to the front next year, and Pitts
burgers may expect to see almost all of the
best PAGERS and trotters in the country COM
peting here for big prizes. Secretary Nc
Cracker stated yesterday that he and his
colleagues have decided to have two stake
races One will be $1,000 stake for PAGERS
and the other will be S., 900 stake for trot-
ters. During a conversation yesterday the en-
terprising Secretary fully explained the inten-
tions Of the directors. He said:
''Stake races are all the rage now. and we
have resolved to be in line next year. We have
made up our minds to have two stake events;
one for PAGERS and the other for trotters. lam
inclined to favor a 2:3G class for the S. 900 trot-
ting race, and the pacing class NAV he some
where about 22O. However these matters Will
be definitely settled shortly. We may vary
the conditions of our stake races from the
conditions of other similar events. l favor
the idea of a man naming his horse
at the time of entry; under present conditions
lots of owners do not enter any horse at all, but
hold back and buy a good horse that is
entered. l think my plan would tend TO do
away with that and would induce more people
to enter horses. of course an owner could en-
ter two or three horses and start the best of his
lot. He could name every horse at the time of
entry and allow any of them to drop out when
ever he desired. l think our conditions will be
to have each horse named at the time of entry.
Il also have reason to believe that the Grand
Circuit will end at Hartford next year. as
Springfield and Fleetwood meetings are fail
ures If the circuit terminates at III ,rtford
then all the good horses will return West and
we can have trSt-class meetings in the fall.
Owners of good horses are all inclined to re-
turn West after the Hartford meeting, as there
are excellent inducements for them at such
tracks as kankakee and Independence. We
can ais. have an early fall meeting. and l
think we will be able to offer very big purses.
Most certainly we will have a first-class track.
We may adopt the kite-shaped fashion, but at
any rate we will have as good a track of the
style as there is in the country"
