A Study of the Indian.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND Co,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I wish I were an Indian. That's a strong statement and I don't make it without some reservations. Don't hit me; l didn't mean it. AS Peck's Bad Boy says, "I'd like to be vegetarian if beefsteak was a vegetable" So would l like to be an Indian If I could only be sure that I would find, when I came home weary from the chase, my slip pers set up to warm by the fire that furnished warmth or light for my lit tie wigwam. I should also like to take my tooth-powder along.
 There is good deal in the make up of the Indian that makes him valua- ble object lesson. I thought I was about as near nature as possible when I saw football player, so I com menced at once to hold communion with this visible form. But the next day the howl went up "Brutalityw So dropped the football player and took up the Indian. Not that the football man resembles the Indian. Oh, no! Not the Indian with his war paint on going out for the scalp of the pale-face. In this case the Indian gets the best of the comparison. If there is any Indian that the foot-ballist can approach it is the Digger, with his butternut pajamas on going out to beat the cl1apperal for grasshoppers.
 The Indian as have known him, or rather as I have seen him, is g. very conservative man hanging on to the coat-tails of civilization just as if he belonged there, riding on the platform of the white mans cars and trying to appear natural in cast-off army tunic and an old pair of brogans. He is no character. If you want character you must take up the good 1ndiaA. Some veteran Indian exterminator, I don't remember his name, has said, If you want to make an Indian good you must kill him." Therefore if we deal with the good Indian we must deal with the dead Indian, the Indian of history, the kind of Indian that we admire but whose example we find 1t inconvenient to emulate. He is the character who said to himself, T will not work; will not wash myself with the white mans soap," and then he went west, retired before the superior strength of the white mans civilization and died from combination of diseases. change of climate, poor whisaey and good 1nten- tions y@tsk

THAT GLORIOUS CLIM4TE

The glorious climate of California ia undoubtedly still glorious, but the dis
 covery has been made that it will not invariably put new lungs into the body of a consumptive. Those interested in booming the southern part of the State don't say much about the sad disap- pointment that invalids and the friends of invalids have suffered there, but an outspoken physician of Los Angeles thinks 1t is high time for his brethren in the East to understand that to send consumptives as a last resort to south ern California is to inspire them with false hope and to inflict an injury on their friends. We have but few se- lected localities where the consumptive may expect to derive benefit, he says, and then only when he goes to them in the early stages of the disease. These localities are not in the cities where too many physicians send these unfortunates. Experience has taught that such desirable places are rather isolated, and are either in the moun- tains, on the desert, or along the sea- coast The best places are along the southern exposure of the two foothills of the mountain ranges of Kern, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles counties; off the coast of San Diego and Santa Barbara counties, and in Indio Valley on the Colorado desert. Once located, the patient should remain, not a few weeks, or months, or a year, but he should forever make his home the re- mainder of his life at the place suita- ble to his particular case, and not go to the city as soon as he feels an i'm provement in his condition, as is in- variably the case, with the result only of being obliged to return very soon all the worse for making the change. He recommends that the cottage or tent to be used by the invalid should be set on the southern slope of a hill, 80 as to catch the rays of the sun during the entire day, 'In this climate" he ex- plains, "there is an unpleasant, un- grateful chilly coolness in the shade even during the warm summer days, which is as perceptible under the shade of a palm tree as on the shaded side of a house or hillside. Why this cool ness when the thermometer in the sun registers 30 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, I must leave each one to account for for himself Even the robust, healthy individual in summer evenings always goes provided against this coolness with an overcoat. An overcoat is very essential garment in this climate the year round. This coolness of atmosphere, which exists at all time in the shade and is very pro nounced at nightfaH, is one oe the draw IL .f x lrT- t

Funeral reform is making progress In New York city. Many funerals are how held at night, not only because they are less expensive but because there is more time then to attend to them. Pail bearers are going out of fashion, and many funerals are now held at the undertakers.

A frog farm with about a million head of stock is carried on successfully by a man in Contra, Costa county, Califor- mia. He started ranching in frogs a few months ago with a herd of about G,OOO frogs, and is already making lots of money. He supplies the markets of San Francisco, Oakland and other large cities on the coast. It costs little or nothing to raise the frogs, and the rancher is not anxious to trade his ranch even for gold mine, so he says.

A new material. composed of coir fiber, which is obtained from the husk of the cocoanut mixed with bitumen, is about to be intro luced into England for road paving. When formed into blocks and laid on a roadway it forms a surface which is said to possess all the advantages of wood and asphalt, with none of the objections to those materials. It is wholly impervious to moisture. gives a sure foothold for horses, is very durable, and is more- over, very cheap, and the old material can be utilized again and again for making new blocks.

Many western wheat growers have been feeding their crop to hogs this fall instead of selling it at the present low market price. MT. P. D. Armour, of the great packing house, had careful experiments made to ascertain the val ue of wheat as hog feed. Eighteen hogs, weighing in the aggregate 1875 pounds, were fed with 1850 pounds of ground wheat unmixed with other food. The gain was 525 pounds, which at five cents a pound gave return of $2625 for the wheat, or at the rate of 95 cents bushel. The pork of these hogs was of the finest quality. stablemen in Chicago have been feeding cracked wheat to horses instead of corn, and are satisfied that sixty pounds of the former at 521z cents is quite as cheap horse feed as fifty-six pounds of corn at 49k cents, and that it is quite as good if not better for the horses.

Boatner Wants Senators DoekedS When
Absent-An Interesting Discussion.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Soon after
the house met yesterday it found it
self with a filibuster on its hands,
caused by a motion to consider appro-
priation bills running counter to the
private bills. The Legislative, exeeu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
was taken up after an agreement was
reached to close general debate at )
o'clock and that the house would adj
journ over Saturday.
The discussion of the bill opened up
several interesting and important
questions. among them being the
sugar bounty question, the pension
frauds investigation and the reduc-
ton of members pay for absence.
The discussion of the sugar bounty
question was brought abont by the
omission from the pending bill of the
provision for sugar bounty assessors.
Mr.. Boatner of Louisiana, gave no.
tice that he would offer an amend
ment providing that the secretary of
the senate and the ergeant-at-arms
should respectively deduct from the
monthly pay of each member and del
egate the amount of his pay for every
day he was absent without leave, ex-
eept on account of sickness of himself
or family.
Representative Cannon questioned
the propriety and courtesy of the
house declaring by its action to sena-
tors that there was not going to be
any sugar bounty in the next fisc al
year
q Mr.. Bingham took as his text the
appropriation of 5000, 900 in the last
appropriation bill for investigating
the alleged pension frauds, and made
an attack on the. pension policy of

Lochren.

urate longer hours, beginning next
Monday, commencing at 10 a. m. was

first time since the tariff debate
began, settled down to real earnest
work on the schedules of the tariff.
For five hours the consideration was
steadily pushed, the result being

of-more progress than has been made
in the entire three weeks during
which the bill has been considered by

ing items 1892 inclusive, which were
passed over by agreement, was fin
ished.

The feature of the day was the de-
NAL of half a dozen Republican sena-
tors that any agreement had been
reached to allow the bill to ultimately
come to a vote and the bold announce
ment of Messrs. Frye and Dolph. that
they stood to go to any length and
use any parliamentary methods to de-
feat the passage of the bill.

EIGHT BOATS LOST.
The Storm On the Great Lakes
Yesterday,
Was the Most Disastrous in
Many Years.
TEN MEN DROWNED.
Wreckage Strews the Shore for
Forty Miles.
MEN DROWNED.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 19.-The storu
which yesterday swept Lake Michi-
gan was the most disastrous of recent
years. Eight vessels were driven
ashore within the city limits of Chi
cago and out of their crews ten men
are known to be drowned and in every
instance boat and cargo are utterly
lost. One schooner, the Myrtle, was
wrecked just outside the government
pier, within half mile of Michigan
boulevarde, and six of her crew went
down to death in plain view of the
hundreds of people who lined the
boulevard walks, or watched the
awful storm from the windows of the
big hotels which overlook the harbor.
The wrecks extended from Glencoe on
the north, where the Lincoln Dali
went to pieces, to South Chicago, an
air line distance of forty miles.
The Myrtle, on which the chief loss
Of life occurred, not single man of
her crew of six escaping, was water
logged when she appeared off the har-
Dor in the afternoon She attempted
to anchor but was driven before the
gale and struck the schooner Evening
Star, and. drifting away from the Ev-
ening Star, she struck the schooner
Clifford, and, her bows being stove in,
she began to sink rapidly. She
drifted out to sea, her crew being
gether on top of the cabin. One was
washed away, a heavy wave broke
over again and then only three were
visible. One of them jumped on
plank and fioated in close to the break
water, where he lost his hold and
went down. The two men on the
boat went down with her.
One of the most exciting features of
the storm was the imprisonment of
twenty-seven men who were working
in the water works crib off Lakeview,
one mile from shore. Their only
shelter was a timber tower erected on
the crib and until that was washed
away at o'clock yesterday afternoon
the men were not believed to be in
any danger. 1t was a close question
for them, however, after that time,
as the water went over the crib again
and again in binding sheets.
Crowds of people lined the shore
anxiously watching the crib, from
which a distress signal huttered at
various times during the afternoon.
The contractors made frantic efforts
to get the men away, and offered the
tug companies any amount of money
to make the rescue. But the tug men
said it would be useless to make the
effort, and would result only in losing
the tug without saving the men. AS
night fell the men on the crib hung
up a red lantern, which was burning
steadily at midnight, and as the wind
is gradually dying down it is believed
that all of them will be rescued.
