SOMETHING Of A MYSTERY.
A Drummer Found On the Street Al
most Unconscious.
His Nose Broken and His Anatomy
Generally Beaten and Shaken Up.
He May Have Been Robbed,

That part of Eoff street included in the
ATenderloin district. was the scene Thurs
day night of an ARRAY which is shrouded
in mystery.
After ten o'clock a citizen who was
going home from his work passed Up
Eon street. between Nineteenth and
Eighteenth streets. and saw a man lying
on the sidewalk, ON the east side of the
street. in front of a house of i'll repute.
Two of the women We're standing outside,
and asked him to pick the man up. He
refused TO do so. thinking the man was
drunk Shortly afterward the man was
brought to Guths saloon by a friend, who
is a well known citizen. The individual.
who proved TO be drummer stopping at
one of the hotels. was covered with blood
and in a state of mental stupor. His nose
had been broken and his face badly
bruised. His mental condition was that
of a man who had been drugged While
being washed he did not utter half
dozen words. but muttered something
about his watch and money. II is stated
that these were gone. A hack was tele-
phOned for TO remove him TO his hotel, but
the driver refused 10 carry him when he
realized that something serious had taken
place. Another hack was sent for and
the injured and dazed drummer taken
away by his friend.
There is no explanation as to the cause
of the affair. Three men, of whom the
drummer was one. were seen standing in
front of one of these houses of in fame a
few minutes before he was picked up.
The presumption is that the man was
drugged and robbed while i'm one of these
resorts. and then assaulted after going
outside

The nest of the long-billed marsh

about it, and another surprise is in store
for the student of their ways who has
caught one of the midgcts suspiciously
near a great structure of reeds and
grasses, as big as a cocoanut, and sus-

The materials are coarse rushes AMI
grasses wound round and round in a
globular form, the ends being carefully
worked in to make tolerably smooth,
tough thatch, perfectly dry and less
than an inch thick, with hole some
where in the side near the top for the
wrens to go in and out. just where
that hole is, few can tell until after

Salt from Fir Bark.

In Lapland they have no salt, and the
bark of the fir tree is used as substi.
tute. The Laps peel the bark from the
trunk of the tree, carefully remove the
epidermis and then divide the inner
bark into quite a number of very thin
layers.
During the brief but extremely hot
Lapland summer the layers are exposed
to the sun until thoroughly dried; then
they are torn into narrow strips and
placed in boxes made of fresh bark
taken from other trees. Deep holes are
then dug in the sand and the bark boxes
are buried in them, where they are al
lowed to remain for about three days.
The second day fires are made ever

kept burning briskly for several hours;

gives to it pleasing taste and odor.

ly, because it is so troublesome to pre-.

lose patience and perhaps to thrust a
finger through the wall.
In the old nests the orifice may b.
plainly seen. 1t is nearly an inch
across; but in the new nests, instead of
leading directly to the inside like a
simple window, there is a wide shelf or
sill, which projects not outward, but
inward, and slopes steeply upward, so
that the wrens, when entering, must
first go up and then down. The inside,
