! In the House, Senate bill was passed to re-
lieve the sureties of Dennis Murphy, Pay
master in the Army at the beginning of the
war. The claim against Murphy was merely
technical, but the passage of the bill was essen
tial to the closing up of the estate of the father
of Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, who
was on Murphy's bond. Senate bill was also
passed transferring to the State of North Da-
kota for the use of the militia the wooded pOr-
tion of Fort Totten military reservation in that
State.
A joint resolution was also agreed to pro-
vidng for the printing of 100000 copies of the

SOME QUEER FOODS.
Peculiar Diet of the Indians of California
and Oregon.

ReCultar Diet OF the Indians OF California
and Oregon.
There is an old proverb to the effect
that what is food to one man is poison
to another, and the proverb is well
illustrated at the department of agri-
culture at Washington by an odd sort
of exhibit of queer foods eakan by out
of-the way people.
Among the articles in the exhibit is
a loaf of bread made from the leaves OF
plant that is allied to the century
plant; as also another kind of bread
from dough of juniper berries. These
are relished by some kinds of Indians,
while others make cakes out of different
kinds of bulbs. The prairie Indians
like dish of Wild turnips, and the
''screw BEANS" which grow on mes
quite bushes, are utilized by Indians
for food. Soap berries furnish an
agreeable diet for some tribes. The
Digger Indians in California do not dis
dain the seeds of salt grass. and the
seeds of gourds are consumed in the
shape of mush by Indians in Arizona.
The exhibit in question includes
jar of pulverized crickets, which are
eaten in that form by the Indians of
Oregon. They are roasted as are also
grasshoppers. These delicacies are
cooked in pit, being arranged in al
ternate layers with hot stones. After
being thus prepared, they are dried and
ground to powder. They are mixed
with pounded acorns or berries, the
flour made in this way being kneaded
into cakes and dried in the sun.
Among other curious things used by
Indians for food are acorns, sunfiower
seeds, grape seeds, flowers of cattails,
moss from the spruce fir tree and the
blossoms of wild clover.

inches long, into the center of the top
of the pole. Set the pole up securely
in the ground, in space where you
can have free swing of fifteen feet
from the pole on every side.
Take an oak or hickory bar four and
one-half inches wide, four inches thick
and two feet long, and bore a hole in
the center of such size as to permit the
bar to turn freely on the pin in the top
of the pole. Near each end of this bar
bore hole about one-half an inch in
diameter.
Secure to each end of the bar, by
passing it through the small hole and
firmly tying, good piece of rope,
with a loop of at least two and one
half feet at the lower end. When
these looped ropes are suspended from
the crossbar they must touch the
ground, or clear it by only few
inches at the bottom of the pole.
Above the loop fix short, round
piece of wood to form hand piece.
Make saddle" by placing in each
loop piece of carpet or bagging.
Your giant stride" is now ready for
use.
Two of you must put your right
legs through the saddles, so as to
bring the body on the outside of the
loop, away from the pole. Grasp the
hand piece and run in circle as far
away from the pole as possible; as you
gain momentum you will find yourself
supported easily in the saddle, and will
be enabled to swing entirely around
the pole, often making the circuit sew
eral times without touching the ground
with the feet. If you wish to reverse
the movement place the left leg, in
stead of the right, through the loop

An Elastic Limit.

ate army furnished his own horse. If
1T was killed or disabled it became nec-
essary for him to leave the front and
go after another mount When a man
wanted furlough, he had only to
swap his horse for one that was broken
down, and then apply for leave of
absence. Gradually there grew up
Aind of brokerage system of "horse
furloughs," as they were called. So
writes an old cavalry officer, who tells
this amusing story of man who
wished to buy such furlough; and to
that end put himself in communion
tion with friend in the brigade camp.
"'The price is eighty dollars, know"
he writes, "but am willing to pay a
little more, II necessary, / want it as
low as possible and, anyhow, you must
not pay more than hundred dollars.
That is my limit" AT that point he
seems to have been taken by new ac-
cess of hopesiclsness, for he added:

PERCUSSION EVANS.
How the Southern General Came to BE So
Called.

Called.
The following is related of Gen.
Clement A. Evans, of Georgia:
The general is literally a pin
cushion. His body was once full of
pins, Gnd for several years he was
greatly annoyed at intervals by the
working out" of pins, head foremost,
point foremost and all sorts of ways
Most of them have been taken out now.
He hopes that they are all out. He was
rather surprised recently, in fact, to
learn from the familiar symptoms that
there was still another one coming"
to interfere with his campaign. 1t was
fortunately a straight pin.
The incident that gave the general
his nickname occurred on the battle
field. He had new paper of pi MS in a
breast pocket. In leading charge he
was shot off his horse. The bullet had
struck the paper of pins and gone
through his body, carrying number
of pins half way. Most of them, of
course, were bent-some like fish
hooks. The general was thought to be
fatally wounded
He recovered, however, in time to do
more fighting. His convalescence was
retarded by the pins, of course. Some
of'them had been picked out by the sur
geon soon after the wound was in
flicted, others necessitated subsequent
operations before the surrender and
others still have struggled out at dis.
cretion.
The general is tall and spare in
figure, long legged enough to suggest
the name of "Shanks" to stranger
who never heard the story of the pin
cushion. He was lawyer before the
war and has been Methodist minister
ever since. He is in no sense a politi-
clan. being as frank and affectionate
as child and as modest as woman.
He is not an eloquent preacher, nor q
deeply learned one, but is earnest and
true in his religion and is universally
popular among his neighbors and the
old soldiers. His rank in the rebel army
was won by the hardest sort of fight
ing. He was promoted, step by step,
after John B. Gordon. The personal
bravery of the preacher-candidate
made him the idol of his men.-N. Y.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
BLUE AND GRAY BLENDED.

30 mother, what do they mean by blue7
And what do they mean by grays"
heard from the lips OF a little child
AS she bounded in from her play,
The mothers eyes were filled with tears;
She turned TO her darling fair,
And smoothod away from the sunny brow
The treasure of golden hair.
S'why, mothers eyes are blue my sweet
And grandpn's hair is gray,
And the love we bear for our darling child
Grows stronger ovcry day"
"Bdt what do they meanH' maintained the
child
"For saw two cripplcs to-day,
And ono of them said he had fought for the
blue
The other had fought for the gray.
'Thc one of the blue had los n leg,
And the other had but one arm,
And both seemed worn and weary and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm
They told of battles in days gone by,
Till 1t made my blood grow chill.
The leg was lost in tho Wilderness fight
And the arm on Malvern Hill
''They sat on the stone by the farmyard gate
And talked for an hour or more,
Till their eyes grew bright and their hearts
seemed warm,
With fghtirg their battles o'er
And parting at last with friendly grasp
In n kindly, brotherly way,
Each asking OF God TO speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray"
Then the mother thought of other days
Two stalwart boys from her rlven;
How they knelt ut her side and, lisping, prayed:
"Our Father which art in Heaven"
How one wore the gray and the other the blue;
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Merge in tnts Of celestial light
And she answered her darling with golden hair
While her heart was soTely wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
BY her innocent pratting tongue;
~.The blue and the gray the colors of God;
They are seen in the sky at even,
And many n noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports TO Heaven"
