THE CANADIAN INDIANS.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec. 81
Agents OF the Indian department in
this district have been instructed by
the Dominion government to keep
n close watch on the Canadian In
dams TO prevent them from joining
the reds Ia the American uprising,
and those In close proximity to the
United States boundary are being
especially guarded. IL lie well
known that runners from Sitting
Bulls and other bands have been
endeavoring to induce the Canadian
Indians 10 join them, hut as far rs
The Canadian government agents
can learn they have no intention of
DOING so.
The reds on this side Of the border
had quite enough warfare in their
rebellion under Louis Riel, few
years ago, and We're then pretty
well subdued. Without doubt they
are afflicted with the Messiah craze,
but they have had this craze for a
quarter OF century, firmly believ-
ing that sooner or later the Great
Spirit will come to exterrninate the
whites anu restore the buffalo.
There need be no fear that the
Canadian In:isns will join in the
uprising.

The King Snake,

The king snake is the most powerful
snake found in this country, and is the
conqueror of every other species He wages
constant warfare upon rattlesnakes,
moccasins, vipers and all others, and near
ly always swallows his victim. Recently
a large king snake was discovered making
a meal of coachwhip much larger and
longer than itself. The eoachwhip was
yet alive, but the king was tied around it
and had swallowed it's head and about n
foot of its body. When the king snake
was set at liberty 1t ran around awhile
until it struck the track of the other and
then darted off in pursuit.
Judge Pittman was fishing on the bank
of a river and saw coachwhip swimming
across from the opposite side. 1t landed
and struck out through the woods In a
little while he saw king snake in pur
suit, which landed at the same spot and
disappeared in the woods on the track Of
its game.
The king snake grows to great size, and
is as strong as an OK. 1t is black, with
small white stripes around the body. Their
tenacity of life is marvellous, They have
been known to crawl off after their heads
were mashed into a jelly.-Cor. Atlanta

Where sentence for q definite term OF
years Is pronounced, the most common
sentence is found to be for two years,
and then, in the order stated, for five,
three, one, ten, tour, seven and six
years. Nearly seven-eighths of all peni-
Tertiary sentences fall under one of these
eight varietic5. There are reported 1872
sentences of fifty years and over, of
which tifty-fve are for ninety-nine
years. The number of fractional" SEN
fences is also shown, which was 1850;
and taking them into account, the total
duration Of Imprisonment for not less
than one year, but less than for life, or
dered by the courts, was 22S, 210 years
and five months
The average term Of sentence, there
fore, is five years and 270 days. A tend
ency 10 greater severity of sentence is
apparent In the south and west. The
average sentence of a native white con-
yict, of native parents, is five years
and 208 days; of foreign born convict,
five years and 1893 days, and of a colored
convict, six years and 1888 days. The
average sentence Of male convict Is
five years and 285 days, and of female,
four years and 2l5 days.

sentences In different states are sur
prise. They range from two years and
1865 days in Rhode Island to twelve years
and 116 days in Mississippi, and seem to
be governed by no discoverable law.
States which join each other, and In
which the conditions are presumably
similar, manifest differences In this re-
gard which are unexplained. For In
stance, the average sentence in New
Hampshire is two years and TAI days
more than in Maine, or about 30 per
cent, greater.
The difference in averages between
Indiana and Illinois is one year and 24O
days; between Wisconsin and Michigan,
one year and 100 days; between West
Virginia and Virginia, two years and
sixty six days; between Louisiana and
Mississippi, seven years and 1903 days,
and between North Dakota and South
Dakota, one year and 300 days.

remarks the ashman convincingly. "That's

The stoning to death of the Talmud was
as follows: The criminal was conducted to
an elevated place, Invested of his attire If
man, and then hurled to the ground be-
low The height of the eminence from
which he was thrown was always more
than fifteen feet, the higher, within Ger
tain limits the better, The violence of
the conclusion caused death by dislocat-
ing the spinal cord. The elevation was
not TO be so high as to greatly disfgure
the body. This was tender point with
the Jews; man was created In Gods inn
age, and 1t was not permitted to desecrate
the temple shaped by heavens own hand.
The first of the witnesses who had testi-
fed against the condemned man acted AZ
executioner, in accordance with Deuteron-
omy xvii, 7. Ii the convict fell face down
ward, he was turned on his back. If he
was not quite dead, a stone, so heavy as to
require two persons TO carry it, was taken
to the top of the eminence whence he had
been thrown; the second of the witnesses
then hurled the stone so as TO fall upon
the culprit below. This process, however,
was seldom necessary, the semistupefied
condition of the condemned and the height
from which he was cast insuring, in the
generality of cases, instant death.
IL may be well to mention In this con-
nection that previous to carrying into effect
a sentence Of death a death draft, as IL was
called. was administered to the untortu-

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Moses P. Handy,
of the Chicago worlds fair commission,
has favored the United Press with an
interview as to his European expert
ences. Mr.. Handy feels hurt at the
statement which he has seen in Amer
lean papers since his return to London,
to the effect that he and his friends had
spent their time in guzzling and ban
quoting.
He declares that he never worked
harder in his life than while making the
tour of the continent. The delegates
often Travelled five nights in the week,
and on one occasion he had no oppor
tunity to trim his whiskers for twenty
four hours. SO far from enjoying the
eating and drinking he often ate and
drank much against his will in order not
to offend the Busoeptibilities Of the ma
tives and, indeed, but for his experience
in certain hotels at home, he would have
been utterly unable to stand the strain.
Mr. Handy showed 10 his appearance
the effect of the ordeal through which he
had passed. His features bore languid,
dyspeptic look, and during the inter-
view he constantly dropped into a
polyglot dialect, this being, as he ex-
planned to the correspondent, the result
of whisking at such rapid pace from
the officials of one nation to another,
and trying to be at home with all Of
them. The other members of the dele
cation also show the results Of forced
feeding, and it will take them some time
to regain an American appetite.

Sub-Aqueous TunneIing by Tubes

An Edinburgh engineer suggests a novel
and somewhat peculiar method of tunnel.
ing under rivers, proposing the use of a
steel or iron tube which shall be laid on
the river bed and then covered with clay
lined with brick or concrete. The plan is
first to dredge out bed or seat on the line
of the desired tunnel and then to dump
clay into this cutting on the river bottom.
Then the tube is to be floated into posi-
ton and sunk into the bed of clay. Over
the tube clay in bags is to be- deposited
until the tube is completely covered, and
then the ends Of the sunken tube are to be
opened and lining of brickwork built
within.-New York Journal.
