In the original settlements in British
Columbia a peculiar institution occa
stoned gala times for the red men now
and then. This was. the "potlatch " a
thing to us SO foreign, even in the i'm
pulse Of which it is begotten, that we
have no word or phrase to give it's mean
ing. 1t is feast and merrymaking at
the expense of some man who has earned
or saved what he deems considerable
wealth, and who desires to distribute
every iota of it at once in edibles and
drinkables among the people of his tribe
or village. He does this because he as
pires to craftsmanship or merely for the
credit of ''potlatch"-a high distinc-
ton. Indians have been known to
throw away such a sum of money that
their "potlatch" has been given in a
huge shed built for the feast, and
blankets and ornaments have been dis
tributed in addition to the feast.-Julian

A Sidewalk of Pins.

Ansonia, Conn, will have almost a
unique pavement if one of her citizens
carries his ideas into execution. He is
president of a brass pin company, and
intends rebuilding the sidewalk in
front Of his home with pins. He has at
the company's shops some twenty bar
rels of old and imperfect pins, the &C
cumulatlon of years, and these he will
utilize. Concerning the value and dur
ability of this kind of sidewalk matexir
al, on the corner of Broad and Pine
streets, some years ago, several barrels
of pin scraps were placed The neces-
sary factor in this style of sidewalks,
eorrosion, accomplished the rest, and
now there exists walk of solid iron.
The hardness 1of the walk was tested
recently, when, the telephone man at
tempted to set pole on that corner.
BY dint of much hard warlz, drilling and
blasting with dynamite, they succeeded
in penetrating three or four inches of
pins and corrosion and set the pole. The
walk will last forever after once being
laid, and neither travel nor storms win
effect it .
