president of the First national

and Saturday night citizens met
Mcbride and offered to buy out his
plant if he would go elsewhere. He
agreed, but later decided to withdraw
from the bargain. The citizens there

act as agent for Mcbride and then paid
the money agreed on and took the
property out and destroyed it, as
stated. The committee is now looking
for Mcbride and will suggest that he

SOUTH AFRICAN COOKERY.
The Native Bill of Fare Carries Dismay to
the White Man.

A very palatable dish is made of an
elephants foot by putting it in hole,
building a fire around and over it and
keeping it going for five or six hours.
Elephants tail is said to be very deli
cious when washed, scraped and fried
until it is a rich dark brown. A. novel
way of making a stew is practiced by
one tribe who use the animals skin as
receptacle for water; put in this
water vegetables and pieces of meat
and then add red hot stones. This
generates vast quantities of steam and
makes the water boil without injur-
ing greatly the surrounding hide. At
the end of an hour the contents are
cooked and the water has become a
very fair soup, but a little peculiar on
account of the amount of cinders, sand
and fragments of stone it contains.
Still another tribe cook locusts, grass
hoppers, katydids and the like, and say
they taste a great deal like an over
cooked shrimp. None of the native
tribes, SO far as known, ever eat the
lion, but they have no such feeling to-
ward other carnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are more
or less popular, and are reported to give
a very palatable meat. Where our peo-
pie hang mutton, game and the I'M
mortal goose TO season it and give it q
rich flavor, many South American tribes
secure the same result by burying meat
in the earth and leaving it there for
several days. No civilized man has
ever been able to eat it in this condi-
ton, but the savages pronounce it a
delicacy of extraordinary merit. Not
alone is cannibalism practiced to a
large extent, but our Darwinian cousins
of the monkey tribe share the same
fate. In the districts where they are
employed as food they are very timid
and fly at the sight of human being
even at great distance. In other ter
ritories, where they are unmolested,
they are about as tame and fearless
as in South America or India. In near
ly all of these tribes the woman is the
cook and the waiter, very often the
butcher and sometimes the hunter

A REMARKABLE REQUEST.

A modern Santa Claus truly was
George W. Teasdale, one of the early
settlers of Oakland, Cal, and when he
died, twenty-three years ago, there was
found a provision in his will which will
ever keep his memory green among the
school children of Los GatOs, according
to the New York Journal.
The sum of $500 was ordered to be
deposited in the bank of Sam Jose, the
annual interest from which was to be
drawn on Memorial day and invested
i'm candy, which should be equally dis
tributed among the boys and girls at
tending the public schools at Los Ga
tos.
The only request made in connection
with the bequest was that his little
friends would see that his grave was
never neglected or destroyed. On every
Memorial day the children cover the
Teasdale grave with the choicest
flowers
For the first few years after Mr..
Teasdale's death the exact terms of
the will were carried out, and the an
nual interest, amounting to over $50,
furnished q sufficient supply for the
youngsters. But the Juvenile population
of Los Gatos, under the ber.eficent in
fiuences of the glorious climate of Cali
fou,nia, grew so rapidly that the annual
amount. was found insufficient to
sweeten the palates of the host.

LIVING STOVES.

Theirs, an old town in the Auvergne,
is famous for its steel knife industry.
The town has retained much of it's ro-
mantle medieval character. Its streets
are narrow and crooked, and the man.
ufacture of knives. the principal in
dustry Of the town. is not carried on
in modern factories, but in ancient,
small buildings, along the little river
Durolle, which furnishes the power for
the industrial township. Curious and
unique as everything else in Theirs is
the method of work of the people in
grinding the knives, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
The grinders, men and women, lie
stretched on wooden planks, over
which they sometimes throw sheep
skins to soften the boards. Head, Shout
dlars and arms reach over the end of
the board, and with their hands they
hold increasingly the rough steel blades
upon the big grindstone, which re-
wolves beneath them by means of a
powerful yet simple transmission.
It is a very comical aspect to see
these people at work, particularly be-
cause every one of the Workmen has a
as a sort of live stove. During the
long winter in the mountains a body
stretched out at full length suffers
much from cold in these Unprotected
mills, and since it is not possible for
a workman to warm himself by a
change of position or by moving his
limbs, this peculiar expedient has been
adopted in Theirs The dogs are we'll

WHITMAN AS A VOLUNTEER.
Among those who quickly responded
was Marcus Whitman, a man of sincere
convictions and indomitable spirit, then
resident near the village of Elmira, n.
Y. In company with his young wife and
a handful Of hardy pioneers, Whitman
sailed down the Ohio. and up the Miss
issippi and Missouri rivers on a raft, car
rying with him, besides other necessities,
a four-wheel wagon, which the border
men told him would be impossible to get
across the mountains. But he did get
it across, and a few years later we find
him at Waiilatpui, settlement near
Fort Walla Walla, composed nearly alto

At this time QS42) the boundary line be-
tween the British and United States pos
sessions in the northwest was still an I'M

1S1S-1S2S it was commonly held that this
country was open for settlement to the

cient numbers to hold it and organize a

CoURsHIP AND MARRIAGE.
Curious Customs Practiced in Other
Parts of the World.

Some of the customs peculiar to
courtship and marriage among the
race of dwarfs who inhabit the Anda-
man island are, according to NJ. de
Quatrefages, who recently published a
book called The Pygmies," about
these people, very peculiar Not the
least remarkable of them is the pro-
cedure of courtship. The young man
who has made his choice addresses
himself to the parents, who never re-
fuse, but send the girl into the crest,
where before day, she ccnceals herself
The young man must find her.
If he does not succeed he must re-
nOunce all claim to her. The wedding
ceremony of these people is equally
curious. NJ. Quatrefages thus describes
it: The two parties climb two flexible
trees growing near each other which
an old man then makes to bend to-
ward each other. When the head of
the man touches that of the girl they
are legally married" Turning from
Asia to Europe, we find very curious
custom prevailing in Roumania.
Among the peasantry of this country,
when a girl attains a manageable
age her trousseau, which has in the
meanwhile been carefully woven, spun
and embroidered by her mother and
herself, is placed in a painted wooden
box
When a young man thinks of ask
ing to be allowed to pay his attentions
to the girl he is at liberty to ope<
the box, which is always placed in a
convenient position, and examine the
rousseau. If he is satisfied with the
quantity and quality of the dowry he
makes formal application for the girls
hand, but, if not, he is quite at liberty
to retire

Patrick Thought it Was the Voice of
His Rival and Got RiIed at 1t.
An amusing scene occurred in quiet
uptown street last night. A young
Irishman who is counting a rosy
checked servant in one Of the houses
in the thoroughfare, called about his
usual time in the evening. Just as ne
opened the iron gate leading into the
basement yard he heard a voice say,
''Hullo, Patr'
'Hullo yourself! replied Pat.
"Hullo, Pat!' said the strange voice
again.
Pat gazed all around him. but could
see nobody, and once again he heard
the voice say, ''Hullo, Patp'
rs that all you can say, 'Hullo,
Pat?' Where the divil are you, any
how?" answered Pat.
Pat, you're a fool,' answered the
voice.
"Begorra, you're a liar, whoever ye
be-" shouted Pat, as he looked blindly
around for his insulter.
Pat, you fool" again uttered the
voice.
I'm no fool, whoever ye are" called
out Pat, wild with anger, IAN if yez
will show yerself I'll prove it to yez.''
Foolish Pat" came the reply, ac-
companied by hOarse chuckle.
Pat was furious. and thoughts of his
rival. McCarty, Immediately came in
his mind.

yerself, McCarty, an I'll punch the
face of yez, will 1 willl' shouted Pat,
as he danced up and down.
pat, you fool! Pat, you fool no, no,
no! ha, ha" shouted Pats tormentor.
By this time Pats coat and waistcoat
lay on the ground and he had his
sleeves rolled up to his elbows. and was
tearing around like a hen on a hot
griddle. There's no telling what would
have happened, as it was nearly the
time for the policeman on the beat to
come that way, when the basement
door opened and Pats sweetheart came
out. On seeing Pat she uttered a little
scream and exclaimed, Are you crazy,
Pat? An what has come into you
the night? Put your clothes on, man.
You spalpeen, Patl Foolish Patl Ho,
no! ha, haI Go home, Pat" said the
mysterious voice out of the darkness

Pat, as he continued his war dance
"Ah, you mustn't mind that, Pat"
said his sweetheart you're a donkey
surely, to be minding the talk O. that
crazy bird upstairs. Why, it's only one
of the young mems parrots which they
brought home with them from over the
sea. It's an ill-mannered bird, and do
swear dreadfully. Mistress won't have
it in the house, so the boys hang up

ers were present on this occasion, and the
talk as to the ownership of the country
ran high-the Englishmen taunting Dr.
Whitman about the ignorance of Ameri-
can statesmen concerning the natural
wealth of the region, and making bold to
declare that a movement was on foot to
bring a large British colony thither and
to settle the dispute as to the country S
ownership by raising the English flag. In
the midst of the argument, a Canadian
runner broke in upon the festivities to an
nounce that an expedition of $50 English
men was then about 500 miles up the river.
intent upon finding homes in the disputed
region, and that these would Immediately
be followed by more colonists.
DR.. Whitman saw there was no time
to lose if Oregon was to be saved to the
United States. The young mans mis-
sionary duties had not kept him from
making observations as to the vast
wealth of the region where providence
had sent him, and he realized that
through the short-sightedness of the peo-
pie at Washington, a country worth, in
natural resources, several ordinary king
doms was about to slip from the nations
grasp.
WHITMAN'S RESOLVE.
Then and there he determined upon the
course of action which was to make him
