INDIAN BARBHRITIES.
Frightful Orgies Along the West Coast
British Columbia.

Erightfu1 Orgies Along the West Coast OF
British Columbia
The attention of the department. of In.
dian affairs mas been called to the bar.
barous practices of the Indians along the
west coast of northern British CoIurnbia
who. it appears, are still indulging il
cannibalism, supposed to have been long
ago given up. II. j. Simpson, trader
who has spent 25 years in the vicinity OF
Fort Ruperts, has just arrived here and
states that the Indians carry on their
dances with all their old time ferocity,
the only difference being that now they
are careful to have their widest orgies
only in the depth of winter, when the in.
clemency of the season has practically
put stop to trading and hunting and
has driven all white men, including mis-
sionaries, to move to comfortable quar-
tiers.
So soon as they have the field to them
selves preparations are started for the
most disgusting orgies. Simpson, who,
having married full blooded "Klootcb-
man." is what is known as a "squaw-
man." has been specially favored or
trusted by being permitted to witness
some Of these rites and gives a terri
BILE description of what is known to the
Indians as q imam eater Dance" which
he witnessed few months ago. In
this dance the manista, or chief char
acter, horrifes the spectators by appear
ing with mummy" or the shriveled
remains Of back number native, taken
from an emInence upon which it was
exposed to dry after death, and tearing
the shriveled flesh from the bones as he
dances about a huge log fire, all the
time uttering the most frightful sounds
in the Indian vocabulary of lamentations.
Simpson also lately saw the horrible
torture of maiden in connection with
another dance, in which, to prove herself
worthy to be the bride of brave chief
tain, she allowed great barbed hooks to
be driven through the flesh of her back
and danced almost naked, while the chief
held the reins attached to the hooks and
by series of wrenches eventually tore
the flesh apart and released them. Mis-
sionaries have taken great credit through
out the civilized world for having con-
verted these savages, and the govern
ment has been led to believe that the
dances now carried on. are only imita-
tons of former barbarity, but Simpson,
who is reliable man, asserts that they
are no mockery at all, but most revolt
ing and cruel reality.-Victoria (B. ca

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
The Room of G. Parson Visited by
Burglars.

The room of G. Parson, watch
maker, on Beretania street, was en-
tered last night and trunk and a
tin box stolen. The trunk con-
tanned clothing and the box few
dollars in silver.
Mr.. Parson notified the police of
the robbery and Captain Klemme
and Lieutenant Cordes were de-
tailed to investigate the matter.
They found that a pane of glass
had been cut from the window of
Parsons room and the door opened
through the aperture thus made.
After a long search for the missing
property in the adjacent yards, at
length they found it slowed away
in the yard surrounding Kaumaka-
pill Church. The only thing miss
ing was the money in the tin box,
which had been broken open. The
property was returned to its owner.

fling at the United States: Strange are
the ways of the American place hunter,
and strange, as we have noted before, is
the system under which scientific ap-
pointments are made in the United States.
One of our transatlantic correspondents
complains that he has no time for scien-
tific work. AT present, he writes, I am
very busy, being engaged in politics, as l
am candidate before the Republican
convention for the nomination Of state

prospects. My only opponent is a local
collector As our friend might possibly
obtain the appointment, we have suff-
cient regard for his reputation to sup

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The Ladies of Honolulu are Taking
It Up,

A meeting of the w. C. T. U.
was held yesterday afternoon, to
which all ladies interested in the
cause of woman suffrage were in
vited. Though notifications were
sent out at the last moment, a
large and representative body of
women assembled. Mrs. DR.. Whit
ney presented a paper on the
topic of the day after which gen.
eral discussion ensued. The result
was the appointment of COM
mittee of inquiry, into the obsta-
cles in the way of the movement
which will report to special meet
ing next week.
The committee consisted of Mrs.
Whitney, Mrs. w. f. Frear, Mrs.

The Earth Has Begun wabblinc.

Observations are to be made stimuli
taneously at Washington and at Manila,
in the Philippine islands, which is almost
directly opposite Washington ON the
other side of the globe, to see what is
the matter with the axis Of our planet
Observations show that for some time
the earth has not been revolving on that
important if imaginary support, as she
has done for centuries, and scientists
have decided that it is time to find, if
possible, what it all means. Those who
have studied the subject declare that if
the variations continue in the course of
some very long and very indefinite peri
cd we shall have an arctic climate at
Washington, and the latitude of every
place on the globe will be changed, and
our biographies will be useless. An
equatorial telescope has been finished
and sent out to Manila, and before long
diligent inquiry will be made into the
why's and wherefores of the peculiar
performances of old mother earth

IN THE GREENHOUSES.

AS all outside preparations for winter have by this time been completed, in creased attention can now be bestowed on the plants occupying the greenhouse, ,con- sequently neat, attractive appearance can readily be maintained. Everything should now be put in order, the plants cleaned of all dead and decaying foliage and neatly tied to stakes or trellises, the pots washed, soil top dressed, insects re- moved and destroyed and sufficient SUD- ply of soil for winter use stored where it can be kept dry. Air should be given whenever opportunity offers ;endeavor to secure uniform temperature, but care fully avoid all drafts. Water should be iudiciously given at this season of the year, plants in state of rest requiring but little. Syringe or sprinkle the foliage only in bright, sunny weather, and then early in the morning, so that it may dry off before night. Do not fail to keep insects in subjection. Wash carefully all plants infested with scale, or mealy bug fumigate with tobacco freely, but gently, to keep the green fly in subjection, and syringe freely to keep down the red spiders -TTroy Times.

Live Farm Topics.
COMPOSITION OF CORN AND GOES.

Corn and cobmeal. mixed, contains l0.7 per cent of water, 1.5 per cent of ash, S5 per cent of protein, 6.G per cent of crude fibre, 6l.S per cent of nitrogen free eX- tract and 3.5 per cent of fat according to the experiments and reports by the de- partment of agriculture. The real value of this composition, however, depends on the cost of labor of grinding. On some farms it will pay to use the mixture of corn and cobs, as the facilities for grinding are ample, aud during the winter employment can be afforded some who are likewise idle. Cobs are rich in potash. .and grinding them so as to permit of their use by animals enables the farmer not only to procure whatever nutrition they may contain, but also conveys them into the manure heap, where they will return more to the soil than if reduced to ashes. Farmers who have used ground corn and cobs report favorably of the mixture, and the practice of grinding the whole ear prevails largely in some sections.- Troy Times.
