team owned by his brother, attached
to light hack. When about two miles
from town the team became frightened
and soon were uHmanageable, throwing
Mr. McCartor from the hack and bruis-

A movement ls soon to be put on foot
to organize a rod and gun club in this
city. The object of the club will be to
protect game which is in the country
and to enforce the laws already passed
for their protection, and also to trans
plant game and fish of various kinds in
the county, The business men of the
various towns surrounding Moscow,
also farmers will be asked to join the
club. The plan will be to import both
eggs and birds and place them in the
care of the far mers to insure their pro-
lection until such time as they will be
able TO take care Of themselves. Every
farmer should take an interest in the
movement and make application to join.

In the case of the state of Washing

Braithwaite has been in Jail on a failure
to secure the necessary $1,000 bond.
The evidence in the examination on
Monday was such that Justice Zimmer-

self defense and was consequently re-
leased from custody. The costs in the
case we're $Il745.

unfortunately the rope was entwined
about his thumb and when the animal
which he had caught started with a
jump, the boy felt the rope jerk, but
thought nothing of it until an instant
after, when he felt his thumb begin to
throb and hurt, and on looking at it dis
covered that the thumb to the first joint
had been pulled loose from the hand.
He at once realized what the trouble
was, and with wonderful presence OF
mind, took handkerchief from bis
pocket and bound it around the wrist as
tight as he could tie it and stopped the
flow of blood temporarily. He went tc
the cook house Of threshing outfit

thumb was further bound up, which
served until he could come to town and

ROSALIA RUSTLTNGS''

From the Rustler, 23d inst
A large gray owl measuring four feet
from tip to tip of wings was shot,
wounded and captured by Ely Davis,
the fore part of the week, Yesterday
the big bird was brought in from Il e
country and placed on exhibition at
Terrv's store. While being brought in
the owl sutfocated and died. An owl of
its size is quite curiosity. The bird
will be m Dunted by a taxidermist.
Recently a country boy walked into
the hardware store of Anderson Bros
and asked Mr.. Anderson for a pair OF
"leather hinges" AS no leather goods
are kept by the firm Mr.. Anderson re
ferred him to the harness store. AS the
boy started away the thought came tc
Mr.. A. that the boy must have meant
"strap" hinges. Calling him back he
found that such was the case. This
illustrates how GU, English words some
times get entangled in the minds of the
little folks. TIE boy naturally connec.
ted "strap" with "leather" and forget.
ing the former word used the latter
which he supposed held the same mean.

Dog Whose Fame Lives On.

The good deeds of Bob, the fireman's
dog, are still fresh in the memory of his
human comrades. IL was at fire in Duke
street that Bob darted into burning
house, and oblivious Of the hereditary an
imosity between the two races brought
out-there being no other living thing to
rescue-a half suffocated cat, which he
carried in his mouth TO a place Of safety.
At another fire in the Westminster Bridge
road the brigade thought that all lives had
been saved, but Bob having made his usu-
al rapid survey began 20 scratch and bark
furiously at little door till, in spite Of
their fear Of tanning the flames by Great
ing draft, the 1remen broke in and dis
covered a child crouohing down in a cor
ner panic stricken. Bob was always in
attendance at the old Southwark fire sta
ton, ready TO follow an engine and 70 run
up the ladder and jump through the win
dows OF a burning building even more
quickly than the firemen. He died, it will
be remem bered, at the post of duty, run
over by the wheels of an engine.-London

Water and the Human Body.

Comparatively few people know what a
large amount of water the human body
consists Of. A man weighing 200 pounds
is made mp of 12O pounds Of water and so
pounds of solids. The latter includes bone,
muscle. etc. Even the fat Of the body con
tains 3 per cent Of water, the liver is made
up Of 90 per cent and the blood Of 50. The
skin contains - per cent, the brain IS and
the muscle ..
II may be naturally supposed that flu
id so universally distributed throughout
the body must constitute very important
article Of its existence. Recent expert
ments have shown that on water alone life
may be sustained as long as SO days,
whereas if dry food only were given death
would ensue in quarter OF that time, and
this In a most agonizing way. The terri
BILE agony that shipwrecked mariners some
times suffer in this way will induce them
TO drink sea water, and this adds hun
dredfold 20 the uncomfortable thirst that
induces delirium and death.-Gentleman i

SONGS or THE INDIANS.

Each Tribes Original Compositions Accu'
ratsiy Transmitted Through Generations.
Ia every tribe there are hundreds OF
original songs which are e. heritage.
Many of them have been handed down
through generations and embody not only
the feeling OF the composer, but rccord
some past event or experience. They arc
treasured by the people, and care is taken
O. transmit them accurately. People who
possess written music have some mechan-
ical device 10y which tone may be uni-
formly produced, as by the vibrations OF
a chord OF given length aud tension, the
tone becoming the standard by which all
others can be regulated, and a succession
of tones can be recorded and accurately
repeated at long intervals OF time and by
different persons.
The Indians have no mechanism for de-
termining pitch. There il no uniform
key for a song. Il can be started ON any
note suitable 90 the singers voice. This
absepce OF a standard pitch aud the In
dian's management Of the voice, which l.
similar i'm singing aud in speaking, make
Indian music seem 90 be out Of tune 60 our
ears. convcntionally trained as they are 20
distinguish between the singing and the
speaking tone OF voice. Although the In
dams have no fixed pitch, yet, given a
starting note, graduated intervals are OBJ
served. Not that any Indian can sing n
scale but he repeats his songs without any
material variation. Men with good voices
take pride In accuracy Of singing and Of
ten have in their memories several hundred
songs, including many from tribes with
the members OF which they have exchang-
cd visits.
The baritone voice among men and the
mezzo soprano among women are more
common than the pure tenor, bass, con-
tralto or soprano. As a rule, the Indian
voice is reedy and steady In tone and some
times quite melodious in quality, but the
habit of singing in the open air 20 the nc
compartment Of percussion instruments
tends 90 strain the voice and TO injure its
sweetness. There is little attempt at ex-
preston by piano or forte passages, or by
swelling the tone on given note, but as
the songs generally descend on the scale
there is "a natural tendency 70 less volume
at the close than at the beginning or mid
die part Of the tune.
Where several take part I'm the singing
il is always in unison. The different quail
titles Of male and female voices bring out
harmonic effects, which are enhanced by
the women custom Of singing in a high,
reedy falsetto an octave above the male
voices. The choral generally presents two
or three octaves, and one becomes con-
scious Of overtones. Evidently the Indians
enjoy this latent harmony, as they have
devices 20 intensity il. They employ kind
Of throbbing OF the voice on prolonged
note, producing an effect similar TO that
obtained in vibrating a string of the cello
by passing over it the bow in an undulat-
ing movement In solos like the love song,
where there are sustained passages, the
singer waves his hand slowly TO and from
his mouth TO break the flow Of the breath
and to produce vibrations which seem TO
satisfy his ear.-Alice c. Fletcher in Cen
tury.
