drill was Of the simple type In use today
among many tribes OF sdvascs.
There were eel-poIs of familiar pattern,
but constructed wholly Of wooden wIthes.
An article which must have cost a great
deal of labor in the making was a f'inbCl
carved out of wood. One of the most cur
iouS objects was part of the branch of q
tree. shaped like the letter ). and deprived
Of the bark. This was simply n pot-hook
OF primitive pattern--for suspending an iron
pot from. Another pot-hook OF more elab-
crate design was inge1iously coptriyed in
such-a fashion that. when hanging in the
fireplace. the pot suspended from 1t could
be raised or lowered TO any height desired.
1t was blackened with smoke
Queer Wooden COntrivance.
There were cand;esticl<s Of wood and
queer wooden contrivances shaped like big
candlesticks. with iron clasps for holding
torches of flaming light-wood. A similar
device for the same purpose was III, ir #
iron, with a spike which couli be readily
stuck into a tree, while a pineknot torch
was held in a clasp. Thus the owner could
get up an Illumination at any time while
tourneying Ia the forasr. Nor. curo:y Net
was a wooden collar Tor n cow, With a baTz
rope attached to 1t. Through a knot In the
other end of the rope a stick was fastened.
The rope was just long enough to permit
the stick to trail on the ground so that
sibly jump over fence, because she would
be tripped Up.
The baskets for various purposes were
very queer indeed. They were woven
roughly out of birch bark and each of them
had Its opening at the side instead of on
top Some of them were for carrying bur-
dens on the back, and all of them had, in
lieu of handles. bark ropes by which they
could be suspended round the neck or other
wise There was a mortar made of log
with one end followed out deeply. In this
utensil the rye is ground by means of a
wooden pestle in the most primitive method
conceivable. The bread made from that
grain is almost as black as ink. but the
people know no other. In the collection is
also tray for making bread, likewise Of
wood, and carved out of q log.
For riding there Is a wooden saddle and
for walking there are snowshoes of narrow
planks cut very thin and smooth. To make
them easier for the pedestrian, a strip. of
fur Is fastened to that part Of each snow
shoe where the foot Is attached. The canes
employed for walking over the snow are
provided with little hoops fastened on at a
few inches from the ferrule end. That is

HOW THEY STAND.
The Democratic Majority Is Overwhelmingly

Washington, August 17.-(Special)-
If the decision of the financial question were
left to the party in power, free coinage
would triumph. There is no doubt OF TINS
A majority of the democrats IN congress
are for legislation favorable to silver, white
the great majority of republicans are sin

democrats, free coinage could be adopted IN
the house by majority of about forty II
not more There is a small minority Oh
democrats, principally eafern members,
who are opposed to bimetaliism under an!
and all circumstances, and the danger, o.
course, arises from the combination OF lheSe
men with the republicans.
Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, says large
ma iority of the democrats of the house
are for free coinage, but the proposition
will probably be defeated by combination
of democratic and republican votes.
at may be-" said he. that all the pro
positions in Mr.. BANDS resolution VIII DE
voted down Then / believe the house Will

entire matter to 90 to a committee IN order
that some other plan may be agreed upon
Mr.. Bryan holds the above opinion almost
alone The great majority OF members

democratic party are against such action

One of the leading free coinage men OF

of Newton, had good clean shave this
morning dOnned his best suit and walked
nervously about the hall of the house for
several hours before his time came to adj
dress the house and the country on the
great pending issue When he did get the
floor he caught the true old Newton camp
meeting hallelujah lick in his arms, shouted
to the brethren to open their eyes and
for an hour and half he chunked sound
facts and solid argument about him promls-
cuOusly.
The republicans attempted to interrupt
him several times and they asked him some
hard questions which he, perhaps, couldn't
answer, but he didn't let them know it.
He would pound them i'll return with clubs
that he did know how to use. and he drove
every one to cover. He made Il good.
strong wholesome speech that was listened
to attentively and appauded There have
been more eloquent speeches, but few
stronger or more directly to the point.
Colonel Livingston opened by saying
that he concurred with General
Catchings, who had preceded him and
had spoken in favor of unconditional repeal
that, in considering this quest. repre-
scntatives should rise above party. On
this subject there should be no republicans.
no democrats, no populists. There was no
reason why men should not rise above
craftsmanship and discuss and dispose of the
pending question as sensible men and pa
triots. He favored bimetalsm and the
plain question now presented was between
a single gold standard and bimetallism.
The Chicago platform had denounced the
Sherman act a cOwardly makeshift.
makeshift for what? A makeshift for a
single gold standard? No; a makeshift for
the free coinage of silver The bill for the
repeal of the purchasing clause Of the Sher-
man act did not place the democratic party
where the Chicago platform proposed to
leave it..
He denied that the purchasing clause was
responsible for the present financial and
business trouble. A few years ago the
farmers had come to congress asking for
relief and they had been greeted as ca
lamitv howlers" He had then predicted
to the present governor of New York that
within two years the "calamity howlerS
would come from another quarter. VINO
was now bowling for relief? The farmers?
They had ceased to be calamity howlers.
They had been squeezed until there was
nothing more to squeeze from them. The
howl now came from the banks and the
bankers. 1t was now proposed by placing
the United States on a single gold stand
ard to put this country into the hands OF
a receiver and turn it over to England: Inc
money men and the business men OF En-
gland were getting shaky, and they sad
now that this gold craze had taken deeper
root than they had expected.
He made the prediction that. it the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act were re-
nealed. the price of products in this coun-
try would not be increased The gentleman
from Kentucky, Mr.. McCreary, had spoken
in favor of an international monetary con-
ference Why not have an interstate mon
otorv conference "He that provldeth not
for his oyn household hath denied his
faith and was worse than an intldcl."

Tho Distinguished Governor OF Missouri

William j. Stone, of Missouri, arrived mere
today on Il tour of recreation.
Speaking of the presidents message he
said MIR. Cleveland has taken a false p9-
sition. | think He has not, to my mind,
taken hold of the real cause of our financial
troubles at all. The Sherman act act mas has l haf
almost nothing to do with it. We are SUI
fering from stringency of the money mar
ketMthere is too little cash to do our bust,

doctors will be about as sensible II they

I'm democrat. a free trader and free

agrees to repeal the Sherman act it will
only be because it will at the same san time
pass a far preferable substitute. The presi-
dents message needn't brighten our people
to death. He is president, but he is not
congress. 1t is not what he wants. but
what he proves that counts. In my opin-
ion he has proved nothing"
