DIHIEUTI0y OF THE INDIAN.
With Him Will Also Pass Away a Lot
 of ScOUndrels,

Much melancholy literature, prose and verse, has been induIeed in about the decay of the Indians; how they are fading away like the mist on the mountain, the snow on plain; mere handful left of once mighty nations, and this feeble remnant the white man ;s driving into the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean or some other deep water. This diminution of the Indian cen- sus is q sad truth, but there re- mains the consolation that, with the disappearance of the Indians, will disappear the worst lot of -counGr9is, white and mixed, that ever cursed the earth.
 It was noticed, says the Kansas City Star, that at 9 recent payment of government money to Indians st Anadarko, the Indians came many miles in the bitter weather and suf fered indcscribably in the camps to draw their money, and that wh sky psddlers and gamblsrs resped nearly every cent of it in a few hours. So it was in the be- ginning and so it will be as long as an Indian lives "ward' of the government; when the last Indian is laid ln his grave it would be q boon if the last Indian robber were buag to swing above the humble eeuulcher.

Some of them are indorsed by the entire State delegations, including Sen ators. Applications are still pour ing in at the rate of about 600 8 d4y. Each application is acco m- D ,nied by several letters of indorse- ment and the whole forms an immense mass of correspondence .

Almost \ Crime.

Injunction has become a legal fad. If two persons fail out over anything they straightway apply fnr injunction5 against each other It do.sn't make much difference what the victim has dune, or what he is going to do.
 It has remained for an Indiana man to establish the latest prece- dent in the mltter of injun tions, and it is probable that the limit has been reached. The mans wife wanted to take advantare oF the low rate for the Chri-tian Endeavor convention and come to California, but ke did not want her t. ab,ent herssf. Words led to war and q new Declaration of Independence, for the woman declared that she was going anyaay.
 The man was evidently a weak vessel. IIe could control neither his wife nor her pocketbook. When she will she will you may depend on ii, as the oll saying goes, but the worst half had one more card up his sleeve. He applied to the Court for an injunction com mpeIiing his wife tu remain at home. The judge doubtless took the matter under advisement for his decision is not as yet recorded. Neither does report throw light upon the important question as to whether the judge himselfis is a married man. The suspense is awful, but we can only wonder and wait
 To grant the injunction would, in the opinion of California peopl amount to crime. If the woman had set her heart upon going 10 Kamchatka or Patagonia, or some other fearful and outlandish place, public opinion might possibly side with the to-be -bereft husband al- though it is very doubtful if that view would be generally held.
 But to grant an injunction pre- venting a person from comlng to 1 California! The idea is absurd, preposterous, Nobody but an In iiana or a New Jersey man would ,nteitain it. One might az well ,sk for an injunction forbidding
 anybody from going to heaven -

The word toast, used for describ-
ing the proposal of a health in an after
dinner speech, dates back to medieval
times, when the loving cup was still re-
garded as an indispensable feature of
every banquet. The cup would be filled
to the brim with wine or mead, in the
center of which would be floating a
piece of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cup
to the guest of honor seated on his right
hand, and the latter would in turn pass
it to his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table, each one present taking a
sip, until finally the cup would come
back to the host, who would drain what
remained and swallow the piece of toast
in honor of all the friends assembled at
his table.

lyon Soc George, said Mr.. Win

him how we came to have different
kinds of weather, the weather is put

can. and usually they put up about a
year supply ahead, enough 20 last
through a spring summer, autumn and
winter In filing the cans they sort it
all ont as well as possible Sometimes
when they get can full there may be a
little left over, and whatever remains
in this way they throw into enc lot.
When they got pretty nearly all the
cans full and the regular stock Of wealth
err has ran ont, they I'LL up from that
lot of odds and ends. The cans so filled
contain what is called variable weather,
because it's mixed, but most Of the
weather they get pretty well sorted ont
according towhe season.
when they've got all the cans allied,
they stack EN- up where they'll be
handy to get at, and there's man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts can and pours out the weather
for that day. and of course great deal
depends upon him. Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down a lot Of the
wrong cans. getting them, say, from the
July shelf in the month Of April and
likely as not getting down a weeks

ought TO have nothing but cool weather
But of course those April cans are

SAVING UP A LOG.

How Planks Are Cut Into shape In q
Great Western Sawmiil.
w. S. Harwood contributes 1.-THE
Story Of Pine Board" to st. Nicholas.
After telling of the cutting down of the
tree and its progress from the forest to
the mill Mr.. HARDWOOD says:
Up from the yeilowish brown depths
of the slow moving river flowing so
steadily on its wy to the sea comes a
huge, dark brown thing with a shining,
dripping coat. 1t is our log, entering
upon its last stage. 1t passes at once up
a long incline called the sslit'-a
trench Of wood about eight inches deep
and two feet wide at the top, SO hol-
lowed out that the largest log will lie
in it securely as it is being drawn. up
the incline by the stout chains with
which the slit is equipped. Projecting
pieces of steel ON this chain serve to
keep the log steady, its great weight,
causing it to sink upon these pieces OF
steel, which are like sharp teeth. A
workman, standing at the side of the
slit, by means of lever throws up two
powerful steel pointed arms, which lift
the logs out of the slit and throw them
upon tables, from which they are rolled
down to the carriage which leads to the
saws. When the log reaches the car
riage, it is thrown upon the framework
by the 'nigger IA long, ratcheted TIM
Der or piece of steel This framework is
like section of an ordinary fat car
running on a regular railroad track.
Two men stand on the moving carriage
and at signal from the head sawyer,
who directs the cutting of the log, reg
ulate the thickness of the plank or board
by the levers of the carriage.
When the log has been adjusted, it
rapidly advances to the saw, and in a
very few seconds it's water soaked sides
have been trimmed by the sharp teeth.
The carriage flies back to the starting
place with the swiftness of the wind,
and it is enough to make one shudder to
see it go. You expect every instant that
one of the men will be thrown off and
terribly injured. They learn to balance
themselves, however, though there are
frequent accidents. One instant of mat
tention ON the part of the head sawyer,
who regulates the speed of the carriage
by his lever, would send the carriage
flying back to the end of the mill with
tremendous force and probably kill both
of the men. One Of the men on the car
riage, called the "setter, fixes the
width of the board to be sawed ON sig
nal from the head sawyer the other
man is the second sawyer.
AS / stood one day in one of these
mills, Watching the men flying forth
and back ON the narrow carriage, and
almost expecting that one or both OF
them would be thrown off in the swift
ness of their fight, took out my watch
and timed them, and found that they
travelled on an average on this little
railroad not more than 20 feet long,
16S, 900 feet day, or about 81 miles.
