Mother and Twins Cremated.

Recently a Mohave squaw in California
gave birth to twins. For n woman to
bear twins is. in the eyes of the Mohaves,
Il sure indication that the mother is the
consort of evil spirits and is a witch.
There is but one penalty-death for
mother and children. The portion of
the tribe of which the mother was Il
member was summoned. and it was de-
cided to enforce the custom. The pa
pooses were Drained, but the mother was
doomed to a more horrible fate.
Everything belonging to her was col
lected and placed in the shack" with
her. the door closed up and fire applied
to the structure. With true Indian stole
ism she would not cry out and died with
ont Il murlnur. and her soul passed &c
the happy hunting grounds, where hei
newborn babes had preceded her. III
two hours naught was left Of the struc'
ture but smoldering embers. All this
occurred in less than half a mile of The
Needles. Needles Eye.

Peripatetic Women inspectors.

A question put by Mr.. John Burns in
the house of commons raises a point
which ought not to be allowed to drop.
Mr.. Burns asked whether it was not the
fact that there were $4,000 female oper-
atives in the factories of Belfast and no
female factory inspector. Mr.. Asquith's
answer was eminently official. Women
factory Inspectors he said, ARE not as
signed to any particular district. They
are peripatetic. Miss Abraham has Wis
tied Belfast and will probably go there
again" Further pressed by Mr.. Sexton
t o say whether it would not be possible
to have a lady Inspector resident in Ire
land. Mr.. Asquith said that there were
only our lady inspectors for the whole
of the United Kingdom, and it was i'm
possible to spare one to reside perma,
nently in Ireland. Then why not ap
appoint more lady inspectors" Mr.
Burns persisted, but got no anSwer.-

A Girls Self Prepared Plight Led TO tine
Suspicion Of = Terrible Crime.
That was a dreadful crime reported
from Toledo 10 days or 70 ago about nm
outrage perpetrsted upon a girl by two
tramps. The valley papers have been
printing various comments and specu-
lations about it, and now the Elk City
correspondent of the Corvallis Times
offers as authentic a version OF the affair
which is no less wonderful than the first
story, and if true, as it seems to be, es-
tablishes one of the most remarkable in
stances of somnambulism or sleep walk
ing ever recorded. The account is as
follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the l6-year-old
daughter. of Mrs. Sam Dogan, resides
wit her family ON the south side Of the
Yauuina river, six miles east of Toledo.
Between l and . o'clock Friday night
during her sleep, and clad only i'll a
nightrobe, she arose from her bed and
walked out on the back porch. There she
secured an old oilcloth coat, and after
wrapping it around her picked up a
piece of rope and started for the river,
100 yards distant. At the boat landing
she entered Il boat, rowed herself up the
river about 400 yards and landed on the
opposite bank. After setting the boat
adrift, she climbed a steep bank on the
railroad track, where, with the rope. she
tied her lower limbs together, passed the
rope around her body twice over hel
shoulder, and then tied her hands behind
her body. Then she hobbled up the rail
road track for a distance Of about three
quarters Of a mile and suddenly fell
She was awakened by the fall, and al
though nearly paralyzed by cold an'
fright started to retrace her steps.
Her cries of distress soon alarmed tn
occupants of u house near by, who cam'
to her rescue and found her still tied
nervous, chilled and in the saddest O
very sad plights. She was taken honl
at once, and then her family learned 70
the first time that she had been absen
from the house and of course accepted
her condition rs the evidence that sh
had been the victim of an abduction
This was the news that first reached til
community, and enraged men secure
the vicinity for the supposed guilty pan
ties. Two tramps were arrested at Sun
init on suspicion. and after staring dc
struction in the face for several hour
were finally released after establishin
an alibi.
"A good sleep restored the young gil
: to her normal condition. and thus whs
I appeared at first a shocking crime wa

A Queer Phenomenon Of Nature Which 10
to BE Seen on u Farm Out I'm Oregon.
On the farm of 8. r. T. Jones. about
three-fourths Of a mile south Of Hub
bard and only a few rods from the stage
road, is a curiosity which at present is
attracting considerable attention. II has
been noticed for the past Is years, but
never has aroused such interest as in the
past few months. On a space of, say,
20 feet square, appears this what is it.
1t can be seen just after q rain or while
the ground is filled or covered with wa
ter. There are numerous holes about as
large as common lead or slate pencils.
from which gas or air is constantly es-
Gaping with a sound as of meat frying
or the Kissing of water on a hot stove or
iron. Sometimes the pressure may be
stronger than at others, but it is there
just the same.
The pressure is so great that if these
vents are closed they will in a few min,
utes send the mud flying as though a
miniature blast had exploded. A large,
! heavy iron pan was inverted over some
of the strongest vents, the rim being
buried i'll mud. preventing any escape OF
gas. 4. man then sat down on the par
and awaited results. which were no
long in coming. us the pan and man were
lifted bodily. The gas or air was forced
through limewater, but no change wa
noticed. 1t was tested by fire, but W.
cannot say it burned. One popularity O

For hay, cow pea vines should al
ways be cut before the pods are full
grown, for in the majority of cases the
weevil insect lays her eggs in the grow
ing pod in the field.
A fairly satisfactory way to cure pea
vines Is to cut in the afternoon when
there is promise of fair weather. and
let the pea vines lie and wilt until next
day after the dow is off The leaves
will then be somewhat tough and the
vines can be put up in moderate stacks
without losing much foliage The
stacks should be as small as convenient
to make, and from seven to nine feet
high. These may stand until the vines
are thoroughly cured, when they should
be brought together and housed carly
in the morning or on Il cloudy day.
