The Only Title OF It's Kind.

Quin7ne-mo-se, formerly chief OF
the Ceur d'Alene Indians, is one of
the most favored of men in Spokane

OF the Spokane river, about ii miles
above Spokane. When Assessor Leg

Measuring the Rainfall.

The quantity of rain falling at any
place is estimated by means of a very
simple piece of apparatus known as
rain gauge. The most common form
of rain gauge consists of a copper
funnel, the area of the mouth Of
which is accurately known.
The rain collected in this funnel
flows into a graduated measure, which
can very easily be constructed by
any one out of small glass tumbler
or beaker by FASTING on its side a
narrow strip of paper, carefully
marked off into inches, half inches,
quarters, eighths and sixteenths, or
into inches, tenths and twentieths.
Surprising that the area of the
mouth of the receiving funnel is five
times that of the graduated measure,
then depth of five inches in the
measure would represent depth of
one inch on an area equal to that of
the aperture of the funnel. London

A Fortune In a NTudhole.

The late Lyman Dayton was a
Minnesota pioneer and built house
in St. Paul when the place was a
village on the hills and what is now
the business district was swamp.
Once Dayton and two friends sat on a
bluff talking and gazing at the mud
hole" It was suggested that if the
town grew the lowland might be.

separated and early next morning
one Of them saddled his horse and
started for the land Office at Still
water, IS miles away, intending to
pre-empt the swamp.
He had gone but short distance
when he discovered companion of
the day before ahead of him, also on
horseback and with the same pur-
pose in view. The two raced to
Saltwater and finished even in front

At the door stood Lyman Dayton
smoking his pipe.

RECALLING A MAILED LETTER.

A Matter of Considerable Difficulty, but
Not Impossible, as Many Suppose.
To recall q letter once mailed is al
most Us difficult task as to take
back an assertion once uttered. The
sender must appear at the postofice
and is handed blank to fill out. In
this he must state when and where
he mailed the letter, how it was adj
dressed, must describe the envelope,
state the amount of postage prepaid
and testify that the above men
toned letter was written by me or
by my authority, and I desire to re-
call it for the following reason, and
then state the reason, which is usual
ly, Mailed by mistake"
He must then sign his name SO
that the writing may be compared
with that on the letter and sign a
receipt. If the address cannot be
shown to be in his handwriting or is
printed or typewriter, he must de-
scribe some peculiarities of the en-
velope sufficient to identify it. If
he is unable to do this, the letter is
not released unless the postmaster
knows the applicant and is satisfied
concerning his good intentions. If
he is satisfied, he asks for state
ment concerning the contents, and
the applicant is then obliged TO open
the letter and read portions of it in
the postmaster's presence to prove
that it is the one described.
1t the letter has been sent away,
the process of recalling it is still
more difficult. A similar blank has
to be filled out and a minute descrip-.
ton telegraphed at the sender's ex-
pense to the postmaster at the office
of its destination. If discovered in
time, the letter is then intercepted
and sent to the department at Wash
lngton with statement of the case.
Why should any one want to recall
a letter SO much as to take all this
trouble2 Well, there was one case
at the local Office recently where a
valuable deed was mailed, and the
sender received information that sat
lstied him that the sale should not
be made. In another case an i'm
portant contract was sent and infor-
nation received Immediately after
made it imperative that it should be
revoked.-Springfeld Republican.

Conditions Were Changed.

An amusing incident is told at the
expense of Norwood Johnson, super
intendent of the Manufacturers Gas
company at Canonsburg. He dis
covered good spring one day last
week about mile from his well.
He was delighted and that night
laid his plans to have the water
from the spring piped. Accordingly
men were set to work the next day
laying a pipe line to the spring. 1t
took some time to do the work, and
when the pipemen finally laid the
last section leading to the spring
they were chagrined to find that the
spring was dry.-Washington Re-

The Breaking of the Voice

The peculiar physiological causes
OF what is called the breaking of the
voice are not quite understood, but
1t is known to depend Immediately
upon an organic change in the
larynx, the organ of the voice, which
occurs in the male sex between the
ages of IA and 16. Before that the
larynx of boys resembles that of
girls, but when the voice begins to
break the vocal chords become
heightened at least one-third. the
angle of the thyroid cartilage be-
comes enlarged, and the muscles
which connect the organs of the
voice with the hypoid bone and the
base OF, the tongue become elon-
gated.
While the change of form is taking
place the voice is untitled for sing
ing and should be used only with
great care, In other words, the
breaking of the voice is due to the
rapid development of the larynx.
which takes place at certain ages
and which leads to a change in the
range of the voice. The peculiar
harshness of the voice when it is thus
breaking seems to be due to tenn
porary congestion and swollen condi-
ton ofmucous membrane of the vocal
chords accompanying the active
growth of the whole larynx. Brook

"OLD PETE TRUDELL AND MYSELF"
scribe the fight that followed, as each of us
was so busy with his own affairs that he
paid no attention to the movements of his
neighbor. At shutdown the Indians drew
off their horses, but left their sharpshoot-
ers. l then joined the main party. All the
officers were wounded, and it looked as
though l was about the only man left I'M
hurt. As it was, over 25 men, or more than
half our force, were either dead or wounded.
at was nearly midnight Stillwell con-
tinued, when Colonel Forsythe ordered
old Pete Trudell and myself to make a
forced march to Fort Wallace. which was
100 miles away. Pete was an old trapper
and one Of the best rifle shots I ever saw.
Wrapping blankets about ourselves, we
crawled out among the Indians. Each Of
us had cut off d chunk of raw horse meat
for food on the way, and then with moe
casins. made from the tops Of our boots and
with the rather sinking saddle blankets
wrapped around us, we made, as w~ethought,
fairly representative Indians, at least SO far
as poverty and filth were concerned.
W succeeded in making three miles
the first night. Then we hid ourselves in q
washout in a ravine where the grass had
grown so tall that it hung over the lodges.
Here we lay all next day listening to the
fighting on the island, and yet we were
powerless to get the relief we We're after or
return to our party. That night we made
more tracks coward Fort Wallace, only to
find ourselves within half q mile of the
main village Of the Indians on the south
fork of the Republican. We got into a
swampy place and hid during the day,
knowing that the Indians would not follow
us into the marsh with their horses. The
next morning we found ourselves at the
head of Goose creek on u high, rolling prai-
RE. Indians were SO thick all round that we
had to hidein the carcasses of two buffaloes.
The beasts had been killed the winter be-
fore, so that it was an easy matter to crawl
into the shells formed by the bleaching
ribs Of course there was more room out
side, but it was not half SO desirable as the
place we had chosen. There was Just
enough hide on the bones to conceal US, and
so we lay there and waited for night to
come. There was nothing pleasant about
the odor Of our hiding places. OF course
there were no violets, but we didn't mind
that. When night came, we pulled out
and reached Fort Wallace. AS soon as we
told our story General Sheridan ordered all
available troops to the scene of the fight.
Meantime, however, two couriers had re-
ported the fight to Colonel Carpenters
command, and That good old soldier, with
out waiting for orders, struck right out and

were a few small cottonwood trees ON the

Of the upper end Of the island, while the
