CUSICK UNDER ARREST.
Frauds Which Will Probably
Land Him in Prison.

James ]. Cusick, the very smart census
enumeration, who filled up his blanks
with the names of baseball players, has
been caught at last He was located in
Santa Rosa on Friday and little telegraph
ing between Deputy Fields and Supervisor
Lennon of Santa Rosa secured his arrest.
Yesterday Marshal Wood went to Santa
Rosa and brought the culprit back.
Cusick who is pattern-maker and lives
at II Laurel place, had census district
that took in both sides of Market street,
between Fourth and Fifth. Deputy Fields
says that this sharp enumerator stuffed
his returns with between 375 and 400 bogus
names. He returned the whole Santa Rosa

The way some of the houses were stuffed
was very amusing, At S6372 Market street,
where 81 people lodge, he put down 100

and Sc Fourth street, where 80 people lodge,
he brought the number OF names up to an

he made So names grow into 100. In

cuped at all, he peopled with families of 10

The enumerator detailed to recanvass the

had, as shown in the accompanying sketch.
In San FRANCISCO when one is seen pass
ing along the street with demijohn it Is
an indication that some of California's
vintage is going home to cheer the family,
but up here in the neighborhood of the
soda springs it signifies quite another mo-
tive. In fact, many travellers who are post
ed provide themselves with fruit-jars, or
other tight vessel to take home with them
the water from the springs, and when the
train stops at Shasta Soda Springs, at
MOssbrae Falls, on the banks of the SaCra-
mento River Grains each way stop five
minutes) there is hurrying and scurrying
of passengers and train-hands to drink and
fill their bottles and demiiohns. Every
one participates in the scramble. for the
water is to be had without limit and with
out price.
Tie streams are all booming-running
bank-full, and but few fish are being caught
by the uninitated. A favorite way with
some sportsmen of obtaining string Of

chosen country! These were the thoughts
which passed in rapid procession as | sat
beneath the pines over on the hills
near the headwaters of the Sacramento
River and listened to the soughing of the
wind through the tall trees. 1t was only
few minutes PAST 4 o'clock in the morning,
and the sun was steadily climbing over
Mount Shasta's jagged peak, flooding Straw
berry Valley with brightness and chasing
the shadows on the Scott Mountains out of
existence.
My companion and | had slept out on the
mountains side with nothing but camp
fire to keep off the cold no blan-
kets, no overcoats, nothing but n silk
handkerchief apiece to tie about our necks-
and we were not there as matter of choice,
and consequently il would hardly seem pos
sible that either OF us was in frame of
mind to enjoy the surroundings; but not
withstanding the hardships of our trip
there was an enchantment about the sun

selves and the morning broke clear
and calm, and within short time we were
crossing the Sacramento River on a log
foot-bridge and rapidly nearing home and
friends, none the worse for our nights
outing.
1t makes but little difference where one
stops after reaching Delta, in Shasta
County. There is much to interest the
sightseer or health-seeker. The altitude is
sufficient to produce a complete change in
the atmosphere from that experienced in
the lower country, and even when the mer-
curry climbs up to ninety degrees or higher
there is freshness which gives new life to
the exhausted vitality of the inhabitant OF
the bay or coast counties. All along the
line of the railroad accommodations may
be obtained at reasonable rates, and
whether it be to take the waters of the
soda springs or view the scenery, no one
can seek the mountains hereabouts without
getting full value for the money expended.

unaccustomed to such exploits. Following
the water-course for time in hope of find
ing cabin where we had been told we
could get shelter for the night, the day
waneG, and fearing we would meet
with disappointment and not desir-
ing to have darkness oyertake us
while in the snow-region we beat hasty
retreat. Castle Lake was covered with
snow and not trace of it was discernible,
although we were near it; and so we were
on our return when darkness came on just
as we reached the timbered ridge. To add
to the interest of our predicament the
clouds began to gather. and at 8 o'clock the
last star went out and we were at a loss to
know whether we were going north or
south. So we foundered about among the
shrubbery, now finding trail and now
losing it, until l o'clock found us thoroughly
at loss as to where we were, and, COM
pletely exhausted with tramping, we built q
fire and lay down lowell, not pleasant
dreams. While one side was warmed by
the fire, the other was freezing; and then
we would awake and turn over and
thaw out our fronts while our backs
would suffer sharp reduction of
temperature. But daylight came with

Facial OIL Reservoir.

In cutters store on Charles street saw
neat way of getting over a difficulty. A
lady was in pricing some scissors. She ex-
amined several pairs, but each one was too
hard in action to suit her; they did not
move freely enough. There was one set
she had taken an especial fancy for. but,
like the others, the two sides ground one
against the other, making it difficult to
move them as she wished. The dealer
picked them up, rubbed his finger near
where the two blades Joined, and said:
''Why these seem free enough" They
were, yet only moment before they had
been as stiff as possible. How did this
happenP When the purchaser left the
store l inquired the wherefore and the
dealer answered:
ibid you notice me rub my nose?"
"Not particularly"
"Well, did, and that is the secret of the
shears operating easily. Where the nose
forms an indention near the cheek a small
quantity Of oily matter collects on every
persons face. 1 rubbed my little finger
therein and oiled them so they now run
smoothly" Another trick in trade.-Balti-

VAF1E illustrate in figure 2 a number Of
HHEe9 curious shapes into which the skin
VI VIZ of an orange can be carved after q
particular tracing (fgure y and then be
spread out in its entirety without break.
The process Is as follows:
An orange is selected that has as few
flaws in the skin as possible. 1t should not
be divided in the center into too large
number Of parts; eight is convenient
number. The lines shown in figure may
be drawn on the skin with pen and ink
and this will make the work of cutting
easier. This done take very sharp knife
and incise the skin according to the
marked lines. In measure as the in
cisions are made, raise the skin carefully,
then detach it completely and spread it out
upon board, and pin it thereto in order
that it may dry. 1t is well to draw few
concentric circles upon the board and
divide them into eight or sixteen radii, in
order that the skin may be spread out in
very regular figure.
Figure l gives the lines that produce the
forms shown in figure 2. The letters in the
two figures correspond.

army as private soldier. In this capacity
he passed through the campaign of the eau
casus in 1929.
AT the close of the war he obtained as
the reward of his services little piece of
ground, which he cultivated. When he was
45 years old he married young Polish girl
named Nerawska, who died in 1855. The
three sons that he had by this woman also
died, leaving the old soldier alone in the
world. Then Limo returned to Orenburg,
where the people Russanized his name
into Linovitch. He lived there in compare
tive comfort for many years. Gifted with
an extraordinary energy of mind and body
he was still strong enough to catch
nostalgia. When more than hundred
years old the old veteran at last became
homesicE, after seventy eight years of exile.
He resolved at all hazards to return to his
native land. and there pass the remainder
of his eventful career. Through the infiu-
ence of the Italian ambassador at ST. Pc
tersburg he was sent home to Italy at the
expense of the Italian Government. Limo
is now in an asylum at Reggie, where he is
cared for with particular attention. As
he was born in 1885 he is now 105 years
old, the survivor of hundred battles, and
probably the last of the heroes who fought
at Jena, Friedland and Borodino.-Chicago

LAST OF NAPoLEoN's GRAND ARMY.


The oldest Living Relic on HIS journey
Through Italy.
The italian papers report the recent ar
rival at the railroad station at Baretto, near
Reggie, Central Italy, of strengthening
parsonage that was the object of consdera-
bic curiosity. He was tai aud notebook
ing old man, with long white beard, who
presented to the Mayor feuille de route,
signed by Baron Marocchetti, the italian
ambassador at st. Petersburg, inviting the
Italian authorities to take good care of the
bearer, Michel Linovitch OF Orenburg, Rus
STA.
In reality this mysterious old man was
an Italian named Limo, born at Baretto l05
years ago, and perhaps the last living relic
of the Grande Armee of 1872. Belonging to
a family of farmers, Limo formed part OF
the CONSUMPTION of the kingdom of Italy in
1865. aid was enrolled in the Imperial
Guard. With his regiment he went through
the campaign of 1906 and 1907 IN Prussia,
and fought at Jena and at Frledland. Later
OH he was sent with his battalion to Dali
malta, and thence to Spain with the diviS-
ion of General Lecchi, where he passed two
years of continual fighting. Wounded in
an assault he returned to his native cOun-
try, where he remained for two years, work
ing on his fathers farm.
On the outbreak Of the terrible storm,
which was destined to carry off to Russia
the flower of the Franco-Italian youth,
Napoleon called under his victorious eagles
his old soldiers. Limo rejoined the service as a
sergeant Of the Grenadier Guards, and with
the rest OF the cis-Alpine army, under the
command of Eugene Beauharnais, formed
part of the grande armee. He fought against
the Russians at Smolensk and at Moskova,
where he lifted from the field Of battle the
mortally wounded General Plangonue.
After that he entered Moscow with Napo-
leon, and finally in the bloody battle of the
oath of October, while fighting under the
orders of General Pine, he was taken pris-
oner. after having been severely wounded
by the Cossacks of Platow. Transported
with large convoy Of French pris-
oners to 0renbure, he was sent with
few of his comrades to dis
tant village situated at the foot OF the Cau-
casus, where, although kindly treated by
the Russians, he had to suffer cruel priva-
tions during ten years. Tired at last of
such a miserable existence. he asked and
obtained permission to join the Russian

Automatic machines for making base
balls have been so successfully contrived
that their introduction is likely to consti-
tute practical industry. Each machine
winds two balls at one time, in the follow
ing way:
A little para-rubber ball, weighing three
quarters OF an ounce, around which one
turn has been made with the end of skein
of an old-fashioned gray stocking yarn, is
slipped into the machine, then another,
after which the boy in charge touches a
lever, the machine starts ana the winding
begins. The rubber ball is thus hidden in
a few seconds and in Its place appears
little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger.
When it appears to be about half the size
OF the regulation baseball there is q click,
the machine stops, the yarn is cut, the boy
picks out the ball and losses it into the
basket. When this basket is full it is passed
along to another boy, who runs a. similar
machine, where halt-ounce layer of
worsted yarn is put on.
The next machine adds layer of strong
white cotton thread; a coating of rubber
cement is next applied, and a half-ounce
layer Of the very best fine worstsd COM
pletes the ball, with the exception of the
cover.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
