We saw to windward a native boat
bearing down upon us under full stress
of sail. A Fiiiau boat is made of a hol-
lowed ~cocOaLdt log, sharpened at both
ends. About ten feet on one side of it
is placed a long and slender log Of lighter
wood. both parts of the craft being at
once connected by and supporting a
raised platform of bamboo. Such a
boat floats on the water like u cork, and
offers no more resistance than a racing
shell. A mast set in the cente of the
platform supports a triangular sail of
mating. with the base OF the figure up
most. A very top heavy effect is thus
produced, but nothing a overturn the
itglt vessel owing to the breadth of its
Ease. and it flies through the water like
the wind.
The catamarau that pursued us easily
kept mp with the launch, although we
drove it at full speed to keep ahead, and
with the huge. misshlpen mat sail flap
ping and rolling like IL great bats wing
as the beat tfrashed through the pillows,
and sent showers Of spray over the glis-
teuing bodies of the dozen natives who
stood or squatted upon h deck, the pict-
nre was something fascinatingly strange
and barbaric aud never to be forgotten.
When the boat was near us our launch
ran under a jutting point, where thickly
clustered palms cut off the wind, and the
catamaran becoming becalmed got out
oars and turned in for the shore.-Cor.

The statistics of the production of coal
by the Union Pacific Railroad company
for the year 1890 shows that the opera
tons of the company in Colorado have
greatly decreased, whilst their production
in Wyoming and Utah have steadily in
creased. The work of collecting the
statistics of the mineral production for
1890 in the Rocky Mountain division for
the United States geological survey is
beng carried on by F.F. Chisholm, who
has charge of this division, and it is from
that source that the Union Pacific output
is obtained. For the year 1890 Wyoming
produced l,l34,372 tons, Utah 1882
tons and Colorado Sc, 2I3 tons. These
figures include only lump coal and run of
mine; nut coal and slack are not cal
culatcd.

HI AUTHOR.
A Clever Book GU Western Life Writ
ten bv a Cheyenne Bow.

The first edition of a very clever little
book entitled Our Adventures on a
Home Rsneh.st was completed by TIE
LEADER job office yesterday. The author
is Newton Adams, son of Thomas B.
Adams. and he is probably the youngest
author in the literary world, being but 81
years OF age. The story is entirely of his
own composition and is an account of a
visit of the author and his younger
brother, Stuart, to a Wyoming cattle
ranch.
The following is an extract from one of
the chapters which describes a horse
branding scene:
When we got there, there we're a good
many men waiting for the wagon, who
had fastened about twenty-four horses in
the %corrals. OF which there we're two.
The men then built a hot fire in one cor
ner of the corral and put the branding
irons in it. Then, when every man was
in his " place the performance began, a
man at each gate, our friend Frank at
one. Mr.. Bowie then went into the cor
raj In which the horses were. He then
chased them around the corral, and at
last got one of them into the other corral.
Then two men with ropes came out and
roped the horse around the neck and
front leg and threw him. Alter that
some men got the brands. which were
a. and c and otbars t,y;sFad HE naok
This they did so he could not spring.
When he was branded the gate was
opened and he rushed out. One after
another of the horses disappeared in like
manner. L am only going to relate about
one horse, the only thoroughbred in the
lot, a pretty iron-gray, who was a gpeat
deal larger than any of the rest.
"A man by the name of Charles Hall,
who was supposed to be the champion
roper in that place, now came out and
caught his horse around the iron. leg
AS soon as that was done, the whole com
panY Of mes joined iu and pulled with
their utmost strength, but he was SO
strong. however, that they could not
throw him. After a while he got frantic
and after kicking a couple of boards out
of the fence, he rushed right into the FIRE.
kicking the brand irons all about and a
bucket of water over the fire, which of
course, put out every cinder and then fell
with his neck under him against
the fence. The men thought he had
broken his neck, butafter moving him away
and Strengthening his neck, they found
they were mistaken. They turned him
over on his right side and branded HIM
on his left, as no horse could be branded
on the right side. Alter they had fixed
the board in the fence. they branded the
rest and then we drove home. The meu
were all talking about Charles Hall and
his success in roplng and, as we were told,
he had roped sixty two horses on the
front leg without missing.
Other incidents of ranch life are told il
the same comprehensive manner and the
book forms a very entertaining picture o.
Western ranch life.

When Dom Pedro, then emperor o!
Brazil, was entertained at the White
House he had been told by a confused
senator that it would be expected that
he, the emperor, should be the last of
the guests to depart.
The presidents wife. however, inform
ed her other guests that they would be
expected to follow, not precede, the
royal party in leaving the house.
The result was that no one dared to go
for fear of a breach of etiquette. But at
3 o'clock in the morning a tired woman
pretended illness and the deadlock was
broken.
Great is etiquette, but common sense
is sometime allowable. - Washington
