They Keep Up Their Aboriginal Appear
anco, But Arc Quito Harmless.
Spokane Falls, Wash, has sprung up
SO recently, says Wcst Shore, that some
of the evidences of aboriginal glory
still linger in it's vicinity. Tho canyon
of the Spokane river below the city is n
fnvoritc haunt of the wandering rcd
skins who are stragglcrs from some Of
the reservations, md during tho salmon
season, which lasts nearly all summer
there, the clusters Of tepces nrc q
familiar sight along the banks Of tho
stream. The CDur d'Alcnc reservation
is only twenty miles up tho river from
Spokane. The Colville and Moses re-
serves arc q considerable greater dis
.tancc to the northwest. These Indians,
of course, arc entirely subducd and are
as harmless as cattle, as they move
quietly about from place to place and
pursue their fishing and hunting in o.
modest way between the dates of re-
cciying their supplies from the kind
hearted Government
Harmless Is these struggling Indians
arc, they often indulge in the luxury of
painting and'dccorating their persons in
true savage style. Gaily deckcd young
bucks often ride through the streets of
Spokane Falls on their cayuscs, two or
three together, and are objects of much
curiosity on the part of newcomers,
but arc not noticed by residents Of the
city. The old sachcms strutting through
tho streets arraycd in holiday attire are
objects of no less interest and are a
great deal more ridiculous.
Among the most noted Indians of tho
country are Chief Scltisc, of the Ceur
dAlcncs, and Chief Joseph, of the Nez
Perccs. The former is wealthy old
redskin, devoted to prosecuting agricult-
ural operations on the reservation and
bringing his people to a knowledge of
the arts Of peace. He is genial and
popular old fellow and q shrcwd bust
ness man. Joseph camc to fame
through dis leadership of the Ncz
Perccs in the war of 1877. He is now
sojourning on the Moses reservation
in Northern Washington. lie Is in
many ways one of the most rcmarka-
bic Indians that have como in contact
with the whites. lie is now q peacea-
bic and comparatively intelligent old
man.

Resources of Civilization

The innocent residents Of Alaska
have caught on to all the tricks of q re-
fined civilization. In illustration of
this fact the San Francisco Chronicle
relates that not many years ago they
used to take half dollars, hammer them
out very thin and manufacture them
into bracelets. These curios were sold
for dollar and half and two dollars
at tie most When steamer loads of
tourists commenced going to Alaska in
tho summer they bought up the brace
lets as fast as they were made. Tho
native Alaskan saw fortunes In store
for him. The bracelets could not be
made fast enough to supply the de-
mand, and he formed sort of syndi-
cato with his brothers. This syndicate
sent to San Francisco and had hundreds
OF these bracelets manufactured and re-
shipped to Alaska. There they are re-
tailed to the guileless cxcursionists ut
eight or nine dollars u pair.

a Charming Queen.

Queen Christina, of Spain, is often
mentioned as possessing charm Of
manner which can overcome defects Of
figure and countenance. When she was
o bride her manner was not only cold,
but forbidding. She had tall, thin
figure, mouth that ron from ear to
ear. bad complexion, and she was,
withal, wholly devoid of graciousness.
She wore her mantilla without any CO.
qucttish niriness. But through con-
slant effort to think and say and do
the right thing she has become inter
csting and agreeable. Her figure Is
still nero skin and bone, and tho face
plain, but the expression almost beauti-

a certain sort of talent, Robert Louis
Stevenson writes, is almost indispensa-
bic for people who would spend years
together and not bore themselves to
death. Bnt the talent, like the agree
ment, must be for and about life. To
dwell happily together they should be
verscd In the nicctics of the heart and
born with n faculty for willing com
promise. The woman must be talented
as woman, and it will not much mat
ter although she Is talented in nothing
else. She must know her meter dc
femme, and have n fine touch for the
affections. And 1t Is moro important
that q person should be a good gossip
and talk pleasantly and smartly of com
mon friends and tho thousand and one
things of the day and hour, than that
She should speak with the tongues of
men and angels; for awhile together
with the fire happens moro frequently
in marriage than the presence Of dis
tinguished foreigner to dinner That
people should laugh over the same sort
of jcsts, and have many a story of
grouse in the glln-room," many an old
joke between them which time can not
withcr nor custom stale, is better
preparation for life, by your leave, than
many other things higher and better
sounding in the worlds cars. You could
read Kant by yourself, if you wanted;
but you must share n joke with some
one else. You can forgive people who
do not follow you through philoso-
phical disquisition; but to find your wife
laughing when you had tears in your
eyes, or staring when you were In fit
OF laughter would go some way toward
o dissolution of marriage.

LIGHT OPERA GLASSES.
They AFRO Made of Aluminium and Snid TO
Iie Isen utIfuI.

Whilo much has boon written about
tho various uses to which aluminium will
DO put when it can DO separated from
tho substance with which it is found
combined, tho cheap process which has
been sought for so earnestly still seems
rs far rs ever from discovery Tho metal
is, howovor. secured in its puro state in
considerable quantities by the old and
costly laboratory method, as its beauty,
lightncss and strength mako it practi-
cablc to employ it for various purposes
in spite of its high price.
One Of tho recent uses to which it has
boon put is in tho manufacture of opera
glasses. Its chief advantage hero is its
lightncss. Tho ordinary glasses are SO
heavy that it is exceedingly fatiguing
20 the arm and the hand to use thom for
any length OF time. Holding tho hand
in an unwontod position for any timo is
especially firing when tho hand has to
sustain tho weight of an old-fashionod
opera glass. This discomfort has boon
lesscnod by holding tho glass at the
ond of stick Of metal or tortoise
she'll. Tho opera glasses which arc
made of aluminium arc so light, com
pared with the gold or othor ones that
they actually seem to DO made of paper.
Besides, they arc exceedingly beautiful,
as tho Furnished metal glistens like
silver, and in addition does not tarnish
easily.
An objection to tho now style of
glasses, however, is its cost. even a
small one selling for SIS in Now York.
The high prico is chiefly duo to tho fact
that the articles arc imported, and have
to pay duty of 40 per cont In Ger
many they cost only about half as much
as they do here. Another thing which
might detor q person from buying ono OF
the aluminium glasses is the fact that
they are likely to become much cheaper
in short time. 1t is highly probable
that some chemist will discover tho
long-sought process before long, and then
the now precious metal will perhaps be-
cheaper than iron.
Again. when aluminium is sold at such
q low price it is possible that opera
glasses made OF it will DO little used in
spite OF their disadvantages on account
of thor worry cheapnoss. IN. Y. Tri-

a PEANUT CENTER.
Ono Mliiion Bushels or tho Nuts Handled
Year.

Year.
GLOW many peanuts will you handle
this yenr?" asked Timcs-Star reporter
of tho largest peanut vendor in Cincin-
matt.
About 10000 sacks" camo the
prompt response. Each sack contains
five bushels and each bushcl weighs
twenty-five pounds, so you SEQ this
house will distribute, 1T least, :, ZOO, 600
pounds of these nuts. Cincinnati is n
great distributing poins for peanuts.
There is probably no city in the United
States that eyccls it in this respect.
Now" continued tho dealer, ''if you
will come with me will show you how
these nuts IRE prepared for tho market.
We buy them direct from the farmers,
who sell them rs Goober-nuts, pinCars,
or ground-nuts. 1t is only away from
home that they are known Us peanuts.
i have travelled quito good deal in the
South, and the word peanuts is one
seldom heard" by this tirno the top
floor Of great building had been
reached and the reporter was ushercd
into large storc-room filled to tho cell
ing with sacks
"Thcse Sacks" continued tho mer-
chant, all contain peanuts as we buy
them from the farmer. We call them
stock. They IRE very dirty and still
have roots clinging to them. The first
process they undergo is to be cleaned Of
this refuse. 1t is done by putting
tho peanuts into large cylinders
which revolve very slowly and thus
rub Off the dirt and Mt the same
inn uiu cha1 a
wind are driven through tho nuts as
they descend to the floor beneath by
means of shoot and thus effectually
separate the good nuts from the refuse.
Now tho nuts are run upon tables,
around which sit girls who arc busily
engaged in sorting out the poor or
blasted nuts as they arc carried by on IL
brond strip of cloth. The good nuts
thus left are sold to the markets as FIRST
class goods, while the poorer ones
thrown out arc claSscd as 'puffs' or cir
GUS peanuts. These circus peanuts are
shcllcd by us in great quantities and
then sold to candy manufacturers and
confcctioncrs, who use them In certain
mixtures in their line of business. The
best peanuts are produced in Virginia
and Tennessee, and arc shipped here by
both rail and water. There are three
firms In this city which handle an i'm
mcnse quantity of peanuts, and in so
doing give employment to nearly two
hundred girls. Very few men are en-
ploycd by us, rs the work is SO light.
''Thc crop this year is very good in
fact, better than it has been for tho last
four years. For this season prices arc
low and good nuts can be bought from
30 per cent. to so per cent. cheaper than
last year. The new crop began to come
in November 1, and it will take to the
end OF this month to wind it up"
The reporter found by inquiry ut one
of the firms mentioned above that it
will handle 100000 pounds of peanuts
this year, thus making total of IS, a0O,-
00opounds, or coo, 900 bushcls, for tho two
firms alone. At this rate 200, 600 bush
els per year will about represent Cincin-
MATHS trade in peanuts.

was continued till Monday.
Lillies Bailey, charged with robbing
young Monroy of sum of money in the
neighborhood of $1000 came before
Judge Mckinley, yesterday, on writ
of habeas corpus. Her release was
asked on the ground that the complaint
did not allege a public oHense. The
hearing was continued until Monday.
Justice Stanton yesterday sustained
the demurrer to the complaint in the
perjury case OF the People VS.. Armand
La Pierce, and discharged the defendant.
The demurrer was made on the grounds
that the statute of limitations barred
the bringing of the action. AS the COM
plant was filed just one day too late,
the court was compelled to sustain the
demurrer. La Pierce was being prose-
cuted by his wife for swearing falsely in
a suit he brought against her for di-
vorce.

brush showed, and straight, broad
patches of white sand, which looked
garish and strangely out OF harmony
with the dull soil. Then came per-
feet beach and beyond that sea of q
more vivid blue than the Mediterranean,
reaching out to the base of the high,
bare mountains. As far as the eye could
strain was this endless, ripping sea,
with well-marked tide.
From the present indications, and
from what Mr.. Thomas says, there is
every possibility that a great shrinkage
in the lake will occur in the next few
months, and some are confident that
within the next three months the salt
company will again be able to gather
salt in the marsh. Engineer Hawgood,
who returned from a visiting trip to Ell
Paso yesterday, and passed through the
flooded district with the writer, strenu-
ously upholds his report, and declares
that he is confident the Salton basin
will be annually flooded.
The statement that has been repeated
with more or less emphasis in several
papers as to the lake opening up several
thousands of acres to settlement shows
that the writer knows little of the ma
land to the west of Salton sound, about
Walters, but the land lying to the north
is not susceptible to cultivation to the
east the country is absolutely uninhab-
liable. Dos Palmas is barren, and the
land, around Volcano Springs refuses to
nourish any plant or weed. The sup
position, too, is false that the climate
has been benefited by this lake. The
air is moist, and it keeps the unhappy
sojourner in as complete Hammam
bath as can be expected. The slightest
movement increases the flood of water.
Dress, ever at a discount, is more than
ever despised. Overalls constitute the
sole garment, and these are always
wringing wet. Even in the coolest
place about building the perspiration
is 80 persistent that it vets the clothes
as effectually as if header had been
taken in plunge bath. Before at Sal
ton, Notwithstanding the heat, one never
felt enervated. Now all energy seems
to have gone out of man and beast be-
fore this damp, moist heat. Now ones
ambition solely seems to consist in try
ing to discover some shady, cool spot,
where he can slumber away his time.
Even the repose of sleep is not allowed.
All one can do is to sit still and let
himselfgradually melt away into streams
of hot water.
The effect upon the mind is baneful.
A very intelligent track foreman who is
amodel mathematician in colder weather
loses all knowledge of figures during
the oppressive heats of summer, and
can be seen toward the end of the
month with pencil and paper figuring
himself almost into the verge of in
sanity. His entrance into lunatic
asylum is generously postponed by vol
unteers from all branches of desert So
ciety-from the prospector who knows
nothing else except gold indications to
the engine-wipers or the conductor. By
all the Salton sea is looked upon with
apprehension, and its speedy evapora-
tion would be regarded with favor.
Even the news agents pour upon the
sea a wealth of opprobrious language,
and declare that it has scared away
travel and has therefore had bad effect
upon their incomes.
