Expert Canoe Makers.

There are peculiarities OF wind on the
Alaskan coasts which are not comfortable
ones. The coast is high aud broken.
A vessel lies becalmed or drifting under:
a bold headland, when suddenly there
comes a squall, and small fishing craft
are likely to be capsized. Particular
vessels are required for this coast fish
ery. The natives, as the Makah Indians,
the Clyoouots and the Nittinats, are
most expert in constructing canoes, the
Makahs being the best builders. We
get near the ways of primitive man when.
the methods Of these Makahs in canoe
building are explained. To-day they
Use some few American tools. An axe,
stone hammer, wooden wedges, a
chisel, knife and gimlet now suffice.
Formerly a sharpened clam shell was
the only cutting tool. The Makah
having been a slave-keepiug Indian, MADE
his human chattes do the telling OF the
tree. Then the log was shaped outside
nearly correct, and launched and hoated
down the river. Then the hard work OF
following it out began. That took.
months. Everything was done with the
eye. Generally the original log was not.
OF sufficient width and more beam was
wanted. In the dugout, in certain
places, water was put and red'hot stones
were used. A steaming process took
place and wedges were employed. When
finished the canoe was smeared with oil
and red ochre. When of any use,
weather admitting, sails of cedar bark
were used. New York Times.

CLUE FOOT IN CABBAGE PLANTS.

CLUE FOOT IN CABBAGE PLANTS.
To prevent what is called "club foot
in cabbage plants sow the seed on new
GROUND where no cabbages have been
grown for several years, or perhaps
better plants first prepare the bed, then
cover with,dry brush, hay, or straw and
set on fire. and when the materials used
are burned to ashes rake over the ground
and SOW the seed. The heat from the
FIRE will kill the weed seeds and insects
near the surface and insure healthy
growth of plants. When the plants are
large enough to transplant, set on fresh
land and at some distance from where
cabbages were grown last year. This Is
the best practice for late cabbages' but
for an early crop the plants must be
started in frames and under glass. TIE
soil used in the frames should be either
fresh and new or scraped up from some
sDo, where it has been burned over as
wo have directed. The cauli1ower is
subject to the same diseases as TIE cab
baoe. and the plants should be raised IN
the same way to insure success.-New

ability that General Rosecrans will con-

retained during this Administration
through the influence OF Vice President
Morton, whose wife is said to be relative
ot General Rosecrans. Some Democrats
think that because General Rosecrans has
been retained in Office by a Republican
Administration he should no longer be
recognized with patronage as a Democrat.
Inere will probably be an attempt made
by democrats to secure his place. GEN
