Many Democrats Indignant, but Fear
to Make Any Demonstration.
There is a great deal OF indignation ex-
pressed among the administration demo-
Gratis and those who are not pronouncedly
anti-administration at the speech of Mr..
Slbley In the House yesterday, In which
Cleveland was abused in terms of coarse
contempt. There was talk this morning of
introducing a resolution deprecating the
utterance and expunging 1t from the
Record. Prudence suggested different
course, however, End the leading admins
tration supporters advised that the matter
be ignored. The fact Is that the most
unreserved expressions OF contempt d.
rected against Cleveland were very loudly
applauded by considerable number of
democrats. II an attempt were made to
censure Sibley champions would, 1t is
thought, spring to the front to defend him.
and even more violent language might be
hurled at the President by iome one.

Their Own ExccutiOners.

The northern Indians, particularly in
the Hudson bay region, and the Eskimos
possess fiendish ingenuity in their meth
cd of capturing game, and their way Of
applying it for killing wolves is horrible
They take a fiat piece of flint q foot or so
long and Clipped to extreme sharpness at
the edge. This they fas;en to wooden
stake, which they drive into the ground
firmly, so as to leave the blade of flint pro
jecting above the surface Then they cover
the blade all over with good sized piece,
of fat from seal or other such animal,
which freezes. Now the wolf catching an
paratus in complete 50 that the person
who sets the trap has only To- come back in
a day or two and gather hisE prey without
trouble.
The wolf has an Unsuitable appetite for
blood, and it is of this weakness that the
hunter takes advantage. a little while
after the trap described is set along comes
the wolf. He is hungry and ticks the
piece of fat, and as it is thawcd by the
warmth of his tongue it taste, better and
better Presently his tongue comes into
contact with the sharp edge of the flint
and is cut.
He tastes the blood, not knowing that it
Is his own, and the flavor drives him wild
his mouth and becoming more frenzied in
his desire for his own life fluid Mean
while other wolves have come up and have
begun to lick at the fat cutting their own
tongues and becoming in their turn wild,
at the taste. So presently the bait is sur
rounded by a pack of ravenous and crazy
creatures, which soon turn upon one an
other and fall to dcvouring each other I'M
til the mcrcipSS flint is the center of n,
struggling mass of ferocious combatants
fighting for very life
1t is like the struggle that followed the
planting of the dragons teeth of old, only
that none Of thosewho participate lives long
after the fight is over the last survivor
bleeding to death. At his leisure the hunt
or appears on the scene and skins the dead
beasts for market. The skins cost him
nothing save the trouble of removing them
and the value Of the hunk of fat. The
stake with the flint blade is ready to be set
again for other victims. indianapolis

One Pudding 2O4 Feet Long,

l had been ten years on Savage island
and meant to come to England on visit,
but before leaving went to each village to
say goodby to the people. We had icon
three weeks from home when we got to a
little village called Liku.
Tho evening after our arrival there was
terrible comnotion. Men, women and
children were running about, some carry.
ing sticks, some logs Of wood and some
big stones
The men began digging long shallow
trench with their sharp pointed sticks.
The boys brought big stones and hrewood
These were piled up all along one side OF
the trench. The wood was then set fire to
and was soon blazing, while tho stones on
the top We're getting hot.
While tho fire VAS br.&'ing one side lit
tie bundles of something white and soft
were being undone from the clean leaves
that contained them This was the pas @
out of which the pudding was to be made
There was no flour, suet, eggs, milk
plums or currants in it. 1t was the pasta
of native vegetable called taro and old
cocoanut both grated very fine and mixed
together. A long pudding cloth was laid
along the side of the trench, and in it the
pudding was carefully wrapped. 1t was
not calico or linen, but nice clean banana
leaves. Over this long cocoanut leaves
We're plated.
When tho stones were hot enough, some
were quickly laid along the bottom of the
trench; then the long pudding was laid on
the top of them and then some more stones
at the sides and on the top.
Some girls had brought heaps of leaves
to lay over the top to keep tho heat and
steam in, and the earth which had been
dug out of the trench was thrown over
the top.
Tho cooks and pudding makers all went
TO sleep and left the stars to watch their
cookery. Next morning at the whole
village was astir, men, women and chill
dren all in holiday attire.
1t was soon uncovered and was found to
be well done. Long poles were brought
and laid the whole length These were
fastened to the pudding by small vines
canes, etc, 1t was then rolled out of the
trench on one side, short sticks were made
fast crosswisc to the poles, and all was
ready for taking up.
About 100 men and boys then raised 1t
on their shoulders and with one tremen
dous shout started toward my house, &C
companied by the whole village.
| measured it before carving and found
1t was 2O4 feet long-two feet longer than
the monument of London is high. 1t
measured ID inches in circumference. 1t
was soon carved into pieces four yards
long, and these were distributed all over
the land, men carrying as much pudding
as their strength would allow to distant
villages. English Exchange

be the most important contribution of
recent years to economic science. 1.-THE
Past and Future of Gold" is discussed
by Charles S. Ashley, who maintains
that gold has not appreciated, but
shows signs of decline. The new
volume which begins thus strongly is
marked also by several changes in the
style of the magazine. The name of

THE COSMOPOLITAN complete
and immediate revolution of transporta-
ton methods, involving a reduction of
freight charges on grain from the West
to New York of from dfty to sixty per
cent, is what is predicted in the Cos
naopotitan. The plan proposes using
light and inexpensive corrugated iron
cylinders, hung on slight rail sup
ported on poles from cross-arm-the
whole system involving an expense of
not more than fifteen hundred dollars
mile for construction. The rolling stock
is equally simple and comparatively in
expensive. Continuous lines of cylin-
ders, moving with no interval to speak
of, would carry more grain in a day
than quadruple track railway. This
would constitute sort of grain pipe
line. The Cosmopolitan also points out
the probable abolition of street-cars be.

for labor, oil, and interest, of not more
