west coast Of Alaska. have method of their
own for the manufacture of homemade slim
ulant- They put quantity Of sugar, -four and
hops, with water, in q barrel and let the mix
ture ferment. When it is sufficiently devel-
oped, SO to speak, they start in for an orgy.
sKILLFUL BoATMEN.
Another tribe on the mainland is that Of the
Innuits, who are most remarkable for their
skill in boating. They have a sort Of craft
called "kyak." which is covered with seal
skins, oiled and sewn together, with only one
hole left, in which the occupant Of the little
vessel inserts himself. 1t requires much prac-
tice for white man to learn TO sit in a kyak
without capsizing but the native paddles about
in it in the toughest weather. When it rains he
puts on a waterproof shirt, which is fastened
to the hole in which he sits. SO that no water
can get in. Equipped in this style he can turn
upside down in the water and right himself by
means of his paddle. Sometimes. just for fun,
the 1nnuits will have themselves thrown from
come up all right to repeat the performance
A PRIMITIVE TURKISH BATH.
The Alaskans, as a rule. are not particularly
fond of bathing. but some Of them like occa-
sionally to indulge in a sort of Turkish bath of
a primitive character. For this purpose q
number Of long sticks are driven into the
ground in q circle four feet in diameter, being
thereupon drawn together and tied at a point
six feet from the bottom. small fire of wood
with stones is lighted in the middle and the
heat is kept in with blankets spread over the
framework. When only the cinders are left
and the stones are well heated, the bather take 8
seat inside and proceeds to perspire.

Some OF the enumerators were awfully par
tlcular about giving all the information posi-
bic, as for instance: One column of the sched-
| ules to be filed out was headed, "Relationship
TO head of family" and South Dakota official
hlled his schedule up this way "a verbatim ex-
cergt)

These minute particulars were 90 valuable
that Superintendent Porter should send the
enumerator an engrossed letter OF thanks,
countersigned BY the handsome and striking
signature Of Chief Clerk Childs.
nLUsrRIous NAMES.
Not the least amusing of the census humors
is the number of namesakes Of great statesmen
and others long gone over to the ''silent
majority" and these are by no means confined
to the southern negroes, who assumed names
at choice after the emancipation.
One day a census clerk turned to his neigh
Dor, remarking: II thought Andrew johnson
was dead, but here he Is . census enumerator
in east Tennessee"
''Thats nothing" was the reply. 81 found
George Washington q little while ago, and had
heard he was dead He lives in Westmoreland
county, Va, is blind in one eye and has chronic
rheumatism"
Andrew Jackson lives in Iowa; John Quincy
Adams, at Creek Center, N. Y; Zachary Taylor,
at Hearne, Texas; Thomas Jefferson. Stafford
county, Va; Daniel Webster, Beaufort, 8. c.. 4;
John G. Calhoun, in West Virginia; Charles
Sumner, in Mississippi and Georgis-both
rheumatic, and Henry Clay suffers with
rheumatism in Jessamine county, Ky. One
of the clerks said Clay was a ghost, for he saw
his funeral here, and ghosts cannot have
rheumatism, because they don't have anything
to have it in.
An enumerator in q western city wrote con-
fidential letter to Superintendent Porter telling
of one experience he had.
"'Have you disease or disability I asked
him, writes the enumerator.
Yes, said he. my sight is bad; was
wounded in the left arm once, in the left side
once, and once in the right knee, in the army;
have chronic rheumatism all the time; am
subject to neuralgia pains in my ears and jaw,
and my lung is affected
GOOD graciousr l asked him, anything
else?''
she said there was nothing more he could
think Of then, but his wife spoke up and said
be had total depravity, and had it bad and
she insisted that put it down, too"

Stolen by Women.

A Portland, Mich, special says: The town of
Portland is aroused over bold abduction which
took place at Collins, five miles from here, yes
terday afternoon. The school which Minnie
Ginnebaugh, the adopted daughter Of John
Ginnebaugh, attended was about to be dis
missed when two women drove to the door and
called her out, telling her that they were going
TO her fathers house and would take her home
When she did not return home last night her
parents became alarmed and notified the Off
GERS, who have been searching for her since
without result There IL absolutely no clue,
except that two women such as the teacher de-
scribed were seen in Portland last night The
girl was happy in her home and was supposed
70 be an orphan when Ginnebsugh, who q we'll
to do, adopted her.

The Spider Web.


Through the long night
The builder builded and the structure rev;
With skillful art from spray TO spray he drew
His slender thread, while hidden from the night,
And on an ancient pattern builded there
His castle in the air.
And still he thought
OF the new home and what should be therein,
OF the dear friends that he would shortly win
TO dwell there, and of all that should be brought
OF beauty, To make delicate and fair
HIS castle in the cir.
When the morn rose
His work was done: woven from stem TO s1eu.
Lighted by chandelier Of pearl and gem,
And shimmering with thousand rainbow down
And then he mounted by q silver stair
His castle In the cir;
When spring breeze
Passed by and brushed him rudely to the Rround
just a. his foot had reached the topmoss round
snatched on his web from the syrings trees,
And LEFT the builder seeking everywhere
His castle In the air.

The disclosure Of the secret Of the Koch
remedy has not surprised the medical fraternity
here, as its nature was pretty well surmised by
the doctors. In spite Of the criticisms of Prof.
Virchow there is general confidence felt in the
value Of the lymph, and the failures to cure are
thought 70 be due to crudities in the treatment
rather than to radical defects in the remedy
The lymph is coming here in larger and larger
supplies and we shall soon be able to know BY
experiment, the only substantial way, Just what
the value Of the new treatment is.

Three MYsterions Mnter.Holes.

Scientific inquirers are puzzled by
certain mysterious water-holcs in the
ledge ON the shore Of the Boothbay
la Il Conpany's territory in Maine.
They are on the eastern side of what
is known as "Spruce Point" close to
the famous 'Iovers' Walk" There
arc tl.ree of them, eight inches to one
foot in diameter, and about ten inches
deep. They qre ovl-shaped, perfect
iv3 i1;z2nlar And ip stone as hard as
ascri6-d n. .oeally they are
posed to have been used by that
people in pounding corn. One thing
sure, if they were ever used for that
purpose it was in ages long past, when
the surf line was much further out
than it is at present. In this day and
age sea water fills them twice a day,
rendering them wholly unfit for any
such use. Is ii possible that the PEN
insula of Maine and New Brunswick
is slowly sinking beneath the waves?
The very idea is startling rSt. Louis

Names of the Months and nnrs.

Our names of the months are all of
Latin origin, March was the first
month of the Roman year, and was
named for Mars, the god of war.
April is from ape:ire, to open; May
from maius or magius, the root of
which means 'to grow June is
named after Juno, queen of the gods
July is named for Julius Cesar, who
was born July l2, A. t. c. G52 600
j. 60 Before Antony changed tie
name it had been Quintilis, or ffth
month, Augustus changed the
name Of the sixth month
for him. September, October,
November, December are respec-
lively the seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth months of the Roman year, al
though they are the ninth, tenth,
eleventh and twelfth months OF our
year. January is named for Janus,
the Roman god who kept gates of
heaven, and February is so called be-
,a'',e >t'<e Fcbrua, the great feast Of
Parjii"at'on, was held ii pipaksf..A.n
for the coming of The new year ~
March
The names of the days of the week
come from more than one source. Sum
day comes from the Latin dies soils,
day of the sun; Monday is the Saxon
equivalent for the Latin day of the
moon; Tuesday comes from the Saxon,
and is named for Tiw, the god whom
we invoke when we say, "What the
deuce" Wednesday is Wodin's day
or Odin's day; Thursday is Thor's
day; Friday is Freja's day; these are
from the Saxon. Saturday is from
the Latin, Saturn's day. The god
after whom each day was named was
worshipped on that day.
