Queer Human Beinrp.

An island in the gulf of California is
inhabited by queer human beings. The
Ceris, without doubt. are one Of the
most interesting tribes of aborigines to
be found ON this hemisphere. They are
said to have fair skins and blue eyes
and bear no resemblance whatever to
the Indian tribes Of the mainland or of
the peninsula. In former days they
made excursions upon the mainland,
spreading havoc along the coast, but in
later years they have kept closely to
their island home. They are extremely
fierce and warlike and use venomed ar
rows in fighting. The island is known
to be very mountainous, with innumer-
able rugged canyons and gorges, where
the Indians ambush and which renders
subduing them almost an impossibility.
Beyond the fact Of the existence of the
Ceris tribe very little is known. Their
habits and language are said TO be De-
culiar to themselves, while their origin
Is subject Of conjecture. The island
shows no sign Of vegetation from the
gulf, and their method of gaining a sub.
sistence Is unknown. Shippers cruising
in those waters carefully avoid this is.

Upper Peninsula, aud the local corps o
the Army will make il the occasion for a
monster rally and two big meetings will
be held. The commander is expected to
arrive on the afternoon train and will be
met at the depot by delegation OF the
Army, and possibly the band will be on
hand. The meeting will be held in the
afternoon at the barracks and will be
followed by another in the evening. The
commanders topic for the meetings will
be "The Armenian Massacres," and thrill
ing stories will be told. Booth. Tucker is
known as an excellent speaker and will

The Nest Device For Carrying Loose Gun

Powderhorns have become quite rare
and are curious objects for the study of the
collector and the historian.
Like coins and medals, from which the
collector may find out many interesting
facts about the past, powderhorns which
have been decorated with pictures and In
scriptions give much information concern
Ing the geography and history Of famous
places and events.
The use Of horns or animals for carry

lea from England and France, but the ex-
act date when they were first used In Eu.
rope Is not known. Certainly 1t was not
less than $50 years ago, as can be seen
from the dates on specimens In European
museums.
Before improved guns and cartridges
were used the curved horn was the best
device for carrying gunpowder in war
time for the use of the muzzle leaders and
hintlocks, and the horns were used even
with some Of the later guns-those that
were fired by percussion caps
A desirable horn could be had easily
and cheaply. 1t was quickly prepared for
holding the gunpowder, and, moreover, ID
was light and yet strong enough to with
stand the rough usage to which horns were
often subjected, as In skirmish fighting or
making long marches through the wilder.
