The Indians DO IL.

From the breezy west a slang
phrase has come. When man turns
himself loose, treats everybody he
meets. squanders his money with
hangers ON and the dissolute and i'll
fact has regular debauch, he is said
to be giving a potlatch. The term
originates among the Indians of the
Pacific coast, where, when a brave
is in bad odor, he turns all his prop
erty into meet and drink and asks
the tribe to feast with him. The re-
suit is bankruptcy, but renewed pop
ularity. This sort of banquet is
called a ''potlatch. New York Her

"DOD, B'ESS MAMMA"

I've heard the prayers Of many lands,
In forests dim. on desert sands,
And on the wild. tumultuous ocean.
When waves were rolling mountain high
To hear the storm kings sullen cry.
And flashing in restless motion
The lightning leaped across the sky.
I've heard quick prayers in battles dread.
When many precious souls were sped
In fitful CLEAN of sullen flashing
Through reclining rift of angry blade
Or rent by doleful bullets made.
Or shells demoniacal crashing
Through trembling wood and war swept
glade.
But sweetest Of all prayers I've heard
Sweeter than song Of spring glad bird,
And purer than the soul of roses
Eager To deck the brow of May,
When life is young and hearts are gay.
And such fond nem'ry now discloses
Unto the shining smile OF day
A little angel robed in white,
Upon the threshold of the night
And by mother fOndly kneeling,
With folded hands and dropping head
And low voice, curying lips OF red.
The stainles. soul in thought revealing.
And, 10! the loving message sped
bod, b'ess mammal
What purer prayer can rise above
To realms Of the immortal love
That over all its watch is keeping.
No matter where we wander or
Drift far from hsrbor and from shore
Where those who love US wait in weeping
Or dream they hear our steps once more!
God grant that we who wall and die.
Fer the swift moments cease 10 fy
May children be again in pleading
To him who said. Forbid them not
And gathers them with gentle needing
To where all sorrow is forgot.

kALIsPELL, April J0.-Sheritf Gangner
arrived in this city tonight, bringing c.
J. Black as a prisoner suspected Of the
murder Of Mrs. j. Cunningham. who
was found dead on the radside Saturday
evening. Sheriff Gangner and Deputy
McFaren went up yesterday morning.
and when they arrived at the scene Of
the murder nearly every man they met
was carrying a rifle. Great excitement
prevailed. The woman's head was
crushed. and a piece OF the skull and
brains were lying on the ground. An
inquest was held to-day. at which the
story first told that the murdered woman
had been killed for money was found to
be untrue. She had been criminally
assaulted. Evidence against the man
in jail is that he was seen going just
ahead OF the woman in the same direc-
tion short time before she was found
dead and his conduct afterward aroused
suspicion. He is young man. Il years
old. very cool and collected, and unmov-
ed by his arrest.

lodging the man in the county Jail. He
denies any knowledge OF the commission
Of the crime and denies that he went in
the direction sworn TO. 1t is claimed
that blood was found on his clothes. At
any rate the evidence is circumstantial.
The woman lived two miles northeast OF
Columbia Falls. She had ahusband and
four children. This is the worst tragedy
enacted in the history OF the country.

Electric OmnibuA

For several years electric omnibuses
have been in service on London streets,
but after much experimenting they
have just reached type CT perfection,
and the one shown in the cut will
soon be running in London. The
electrical omnibus made its first trip
through the streets of London in the
summer of 1855, and attracted consid.
cradle attention.
One of the early runs was over a
distance Of nearly four miles, taking
thirty-fve minutes, and the experience
which was gained in its working dem
onstrated that the knowledge neces-
sary for driving it could be picked up
by an ordinary cab or omnibus driver
in few days, no greater skill being
required to handle such a vehicle with
precision and safety than was neces-
sary in the case of horse bus or cab.
Each car could easily make six four
teen-mile trips per day, or a total of
jSS miles per week per car, giving a
total of l4,7OO miles of service per

A Mahogany Pavement

The dealer in hardwood who tender
ly handles his stock of mahogany with
kid gloves for fear of losing splinter
now and then, will undoubtedly be
shocked, says the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman, to hear that mahogany
is being used by the Paris municipal
council for roadways. This sounds
almost like a dream of oriental mag
nifcence, yet it is true. A portion OF
the Rue Lafayette has been pulled up
and workmen are laying dowu blocks
OF real Brazilian mahogany " a tine
texture and color 1t is, however, an
experiment as mahogany i. dtarer
than other woods usually used for this
purpose, but it is ex pected that the
extra outlay will be more than COM
pensated for by the greater durabi lity
of the mahogany.

alarming, says London paper. It

REVOLUTION

The declaration OF the independence
of the United States contains the fol-
lowing fundamental doctrine, inner
ent in the race:
I'VE hold these truths to be self.
evident, that al men are created
equal; that they are endowed by the
Creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are life,
Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, govern
ments are instituted among men, de.
irving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed; that, whenever
any form of government becomes de-
structive of these ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it,
and to institute n new government
having its foundations on such prin-
clples, and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and hap
piness."
Now, it can not be expected that a
people who have inherited such senti-
ments as the foregoing, will submit to
be reduced to serfdom. With such
ancestors as we have had and a hun
dred years of public schools through
which to become enlightened, it is
but right and proper to expect a re-
volt.
The spirit of avarice, represented by
the capitalists, has, through intrigue
and bribery steadily encroached upon
the rights, privileges and prerogatives
of the people until the objects of our
government are completely subverted.
Justice IS not established; domestic
tranquility is not insured; the general
welfare is not promoted; and the
blessings of liberty are not secured.
These grand objects; laid down by
the fathers of the republic, have all
been defeated by class legislation and
the granting of special privileges. The
government, as it Is now conducted.
has become destructive OF the ends"
sought by its founders.
If the iniquity which has been
wrought upon the masses of the peo-
pie by unjust laws can be corr ected
by legislation, let it be speedily done.
If not, revolution is not only our
right but our duty.-St Louis Mont

Silvester's Remedy Against Dampness
The process consists in using two

quarters Of pound Of soap to one
gallon of water and half a pound of
alum to four gallons of water, both
substances to be perfectly dissolved in

should be perfectly clean and dry and
the temperature of the air not above

froth on the brickwork. This wash
should remain twenty-four hours, so
as to become dry and hard before the
second, or alum, wash is applied, which
should be done in the same manner as
the first The temperature of this
wash, when applied, may be 60 or 20
degrees Fab, and this also should re-
main twenty-four hours before a sec

These coats are to be applied alter

thus combined form an insoluble com

laid from Waterville, Ireland to Nova
Scotia. The entire cable will be about
1000 miles long. The Faraday, not
being large enough to carry the whole

about 500 miles, first, and then lay the
deep sea cable, which is smaller than
the shore ends The cable is guaran-
teed to afford 531S per cent improve

AwETO.-The most curious OF all OBJ
jects in New Zealand is that which the
Maoris call "aweto." One is uncertain
whether to call it an animal or a plant.
In the FIST stages Of its existence it is
simply caterpillar about three or
four inches in length, and always
found in connection with the rata tree,
kind of Towering myrtle. 1t appears
that when it reaches full growth it
buries itself two or three inches under
ground. where, instead of undergoing
the ordinary chrysalis process, it be-
comes gradually transformed into
plant, which exactly fills the body and
shoots up at the neck to the height Of
eight or ten inches. This plant re-
sembles in appearance a diminutive
bulrush, and the two, animal and
plant, are always found inseparable.
