QUEER PLANTS USED FOR FOODS.
Little Known Vegetables and Edible In
sects of the Prairie.

Little Known Vegetables and Edible In
sects of the Prairie.
Over at the department. Of agriculture,
hidden away in an obscure corner, is
an odd sort Of exhibit of queer foods
eaten by out Of the way people. There
is loaf of bread made from the roasted
leaves of plant allied to the century
plant. Another kind of bread is from q
dough of juniper berries. These are rel
ished by some tribes of Indians, while
others manufacture cakes out Of differ
ent kinds Of bulbs,
The prairie Indians relish dish of
wild turnips, which civilized people
would not be likely to enjoy at all. In
the great American desert the screw
beans,'' which grow on mesquite bush
es, are utilized for food. Soap berries
furnish an agreeable diet for some saw
ages in this country, while in Califor-
MIA the copper colored aborigines do not
disdain the seeds of salt grass.
Also in California the Digger Indians
collect pine nuts, which are the seeds of
certain species of pine, sometimes called
"pinons," by kindling fires against the
trees, thus causing the nuts to fall out
of the cones. At the same time sweet
gum exudes from the bark, serving the
purpose of sugar. The seeds of gourds
are consumed in tho shape of mush by
Indians in Arizona.
In addition 10 all these things the ex-
hibit referred to includes a jar of pull
verized crici1cts which are eaten in that
form By the indians of Oregon. They
are roasted, as arc likewise grasshoppers
and even slugs. These delicacies are
cooked in pit, being arranged i'll alter
nate layers with bot stones. After be-
ing thus prepared they are dried and
ground to powder. They are mixed with
pounded acorns or berries, the -four
made in this way being kneaded into
cakes and dried in the sun.
The Asainiboines use kind Of seed to
stop bleeding at the nose. Among other
curious things used for food arc acorns,
sunfower seeds, grape seeds, flowers of
cattails, Eao3s from the spruce fir tree
and the blossoms of wild clover. The
exhibit embraces number Of models
representing grape seeds enormously en-
larged. 1t is actually possible to tell the
species of grape by tho shape Of the
seed. There is jar OF red willow bark,
which Indians mix with tobacco for the
sakeof economy. This, however, is only
one of thousand plants that are Util-
ized in similar fashion Washington

their feet SO hardly, at any rate never

Poor or wanting in proper pride in

complicated railway labor trouble, cables
were no higher, the favorable weather
for harvesting, and the exports for this
week, which were less than for some
time. The market rallied little on the
closing BeerbOhm cable, which quoted
wheat 14@1fd higher. Corn was gen.
orally firm within 4@ssc range. Pur-
chases by shorts and shipping houses
kept prices up. Oats were quiet within
&c range, some buying causing Steadi-

SOMEWHAT VAGUE.
The Latest Alleged Hostile Move
ment of the Southern Pacific.

CHICAGO. Feb. 20.-The Southern Pacific
has taken action, which, while evidently
leveled at the AtchisOn, it is difficult for
railroad men To understand. Il has no
line into San Diego, and has issued a cir
cular saying that hereafter it will not
honor San Diego tickets over the Southern
California because of the So arbitrary rate
demanded. This virtually amounts to a
refusal to handle San Diego business on
any terms. There is something behind
this move, but railroad men here say they
do not know what it is.
1t was reported to-day that the Canadian
Pacific had decided TO accept the 4 per
cent Of the transcOnt tinental business
offered by the Western Passenger Assocla-
tian in lieu of the diiferentlals claimed on
business between Victoria and San Fran
cisco by the water route. Whether the
Canadian Pacific accepts or declines makes
little difference now, as the trouble be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the Atchi-
son is likely TO upset transcontinental
business generally.

OFF FOR THE 4" PEN
Chris Evans Sentenced to Life
Imprisonment at Folsom.
Accompanied by His Wife During
His Last Journey by
Rail.

FRESNO. Feb. 20.-Chris Evans was
taken from jail to the Superior Court
room of Department 2 at 10 o'clock this
morning. The courtroom was crowded
with people. Judge Harris asked the
prisoner if he had anything to say. His
attorney. S. j. Kinds. made motion for a
new trial, which was denied. He then
asked that Evans be sent to San Quentin,
instead of Folsom, but the Judge refused
the request and ordered him incarcerated
at Folsom for life.
Evans seemed cheerful, and greeted all
who spoke to him pleasantly. He denies
the story that he abused Mrs. Brighton
Sheriff Scott los. no time in departing for
Folsom with his desperate prisoner.
LATHRoP, Feb. 20.-Chris Evans passed
through Lathrop this afternoon, en- route
to Folsom. He was accompanied by his
wife, who met him at Modesto. She came
from Oakland to-day for that purpose.
Sheriff Scott is in charge, and he seemed
to take no chances of Chris escaping.
After dinner they SAT in the car awaiting
the departure of the train. A group of
school children gathered near the window
and began whistling. shouting at him,
crying, why don't you skip" "Run
away" etc. Chris raised the window,
replying, Il can't sprint Ike Win
Smith" As the train pulled out of the
station he distributed oranges to the
children in happy manner, seemingly
unmindful OF his destination. Mrs. Evans
seemed laboring under subdued excite
ment, her eyes having wild expression.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20-Sheriff Scott
and Deputy 1immins of Fresno arrived
here this evening with Chris Evans, en-
route to Folsom Prison. The prisoner was
taken to the county Jail, and tomorrow
will be turned over to Warden Aull, who
will come here to receive Sontag's old
partner in crime.
