TOWN TERRORIZED.
MASKED MEN SCARE THE PEOPLE
OF LeESVlLLE.

They Blow Open the Safe of Michael j.
Buckley and Wreck the Building-Only
$55 in Cash Secured-The People Ter
rorized by a Fusillade of Pistol Shots.
DETROIT, June 3-Michael J. Buckley,
who occupies the largest brick residence
in Leesville, ten miles from this city, is
well.to-do, and recently purchased q safe
in which to keep his private papers.
About $3.50 o'clock in the morning Buck
ley and his neighbors were awakened by
q fusillade of pistol shots, some in the
house In which he lived. With Nicolas
Kramer and Patrick McCarty he went to
investigate and was confronted by six or
seven masked men, all of whom had re-
volvers. They demanded of Buckley the
combination Of the safe and after some
hesitation he told them. They then drove
Buckley and his companions to an upper
room, and while part of the gang was
trying the combination of the safe the
rest walked up and down the street, fir
ing their revolvers to keep the residents
indoors.
BY this time everybody in the village
was awake, but not one of them had the
pluck to so out and make a st and against
the robbers. A tremendous explosion was
heard, but still no one dared venture from
the houses A short session of quiet, and
then with parting fusillade the robbers
left the town in the direction of this city.
Investigation showed that Buckley's
grocery store was completely wrecked.
The burglars had evidently been unable
to work the combination and had drilled
the safe and blown the door off, securing
sos in cash and valuable papers. They
left their tools behind. Buckley's house
shows the marks of twenty bullets.

RUDE TOOLS.
With Which tho AIaslxans Fas hion Their
Canoes.


Before the advent of the Russians in
Alaska, and before the occasional
British and American trading vessels
furnished those native people with
iron and steel working tools, the only
implements they employed in digging
out canoes from solid logs were rude
AIDES, or axes of flint or obsidian.
Even now, when all kinds of iron or
steel tools are within easy reach, they
employ only small adze, with which
the greater part of the work is done.
The fight of time is of little import
ance to them; and they, therefore, de-
vote more of it and of physical energy
to the production of canoe than a
white man would care to devote.
If one has plenty of leisure it is an
interesting thing to watch native
shaping q canoe from the moment the
tree from which it is made has been
rolled upon the beach in front of the
village until it is finally compile ted.
Frequently the yellow cedar tree fit
for canoe has to be aoated in the
straits or narrow channels between
the islands for many miles, after hav-
ing been felled with great difficulty on
a steep mountain side. When q ca
noe capable of carrying eight or ten
persons is wanted, that is, one about
forty feet long, the tree is placed upon
the beach IN front of the village, and
there the builder works patiently and
deftly for months at his task.
He make no marks and draws no
lines to which to work, but directs
the small adze used in hewing by sight
and hand alone. First he cuts away
the outside in small chips, until he
has it smoothly dressed; then he turns
his attention to the inside, excavating
the interior until he has reduced the
sides to the uniform thickness of
about an inch and q quarter. Then
the most difficult and delicate task re-
mains to be performed, that is, to i'm
part the graceful and delicate curves
for which this kind of craft is noted.
This is done by primitive process.
The cavity made by hewing out the
interior wood is entirely filled with
water and the incomplete canoe COW
cred closely with hemlock bark, old
sailcloth, blankets, or with any,
thing else Of like kind; and red-hot
stones are thrown into the water to
generate steam to soften the wooden
sides.
Pieces of wood are placed cross
wise of the interior, and near the
waist, to assist in gradually swelling
or bullying out the sides, in conformity
TO the design. 1t takes weeks
frequently of patient endeavor to give
the canoe the proper shape and
curves by this process, but when
finished no trained eye can detect any
imperfection in the curves or the
sides. After the requisite shape is
thus given to the craft, the water is
turned out. The stays are allowed to
remain, so that when the wood dries,
ct retains the shape given it in the
steaming process.
These large canoes, says the New
York Tribune, have been generally of
two kinds, the great war canoe and
the one used for ordinary purposes of
travelling, hunting and fishing. They
are all painted black; but the war
canoe is embellished fore and aft with
hideously carved figures representing
the totems of the village or family to
which the owner belongs.

Among all the structures that make
up tho human body, the nerves have
been until recently the least unders,ood.
The role OF the nerves in the digestion
and assimilation OF food is highly i'm
por,ant one. The queetion whether
the food shall nourish or become mere
load upon the system is q question Of
nerve force.
Neglect to satisfy the demands made
BY the nervous system carries heavy
penalties. When this nervous force il
exhausted the digestive processes are
obstruc.ed. the body is weakened aud
pains OF neuralgia, indigestion, rhcuma-
tism, invade its parts. During repose
the nerves and great nerve centers feed
upon the nutritive material that is
stored in tho blood tissues. 1t ia when
this supply OF nourishment is prompt
and abundant that the nervous system
is able to recuperate, but when the
