November.
ST. Louis. Mo, March Ia story is In
circulation here TO the effect that six tons
OF dynamite were sent to Cuba for the use
OF the Spanards in mining the Havana
narboF. IT Is said an agent of General
Weyler landed in November, 1897 to pur-
chase dynamite with which the harbor was
TO be mined, but owing to the vigilance
OF the Cuban junta in that city he could
not secure the explosive without 1t being
known. He therefore left that city and
came TO St Louis, where he was success
ful in purchasing six tons. which was
shipped 10 New York and thence TO Havana
November 20 on the steamship Ciudad. and
that II was consigned TO Weyler. II is
said that the agent wanted to purchase
more, but did not believe that Il would bs
safe to ship larger quantity. The ouan.
NY sent was enough 10 mine the harbol.
me heads OF the different firms in ST
Louis dealing in dynamite were seen. but
with one exception an emphatic denial was
MADE that the firm had shipped any dyna
mite 70 Cuba knowingly. Manager Harpe,
OF the Lafling- Rand company was the only
exception, He would neither deny nor al.
ilrm the story, In fact. he positively re-

HOW INDIANS MEASURE TIME.
They Fix Their Dates by Sleeps and Sioons
and Winters.

Our Indians measure time solely by
days, by sleeps, by moons and by win
ters. The Indian has no name for any
subdivision of timo less han day.
When he desires to indicate a shorter
period, he points to the heavens, and
measuring off a space says, lit was as
long as it would take the sun to go from
there to there. " A day is from daylight
10 darkness, "sleep," or night, from
dark to daylight. He has 20 name for
any day, nor has he any subdivision Of
time corresponding to cur week. A
moon commences with the first streak
of the crescent in the west and lasts I'M
til the next one appears, but the days Of
the moon are neither numbered nor
named. From winter to winter is
the nearest approach he has to our term.
The year commences with the first fall
of snow An Indian Will tell you he is
so many winters old. but having no
months or days he never has birthday.
The Indians who formerly inhabited
the southern part Of Texas, where there
is no snowfall, are said 10 have fixed the
commencement of the year at the first
"norther. a furious and chilling wind
that sweeps from the north and is Of fre-
luent occurrence during the winter
months.
No year has any name or number fix
irg Il sequence Or point Of reference, but
each band Will designate year by its
most prominent occurrence, as fight
with hostiles, death Of a chief prevd-
lence Of disease, abundance or scarcity
of food, or failing anything marvellous
Or striking by the name Of the stream on
which was located the winter camp.
But these are mere remembrances, and
excellent as is the Indians memory
they, after few years, fade into a
tumble of disconnected facts without
sequence or usefulness. Cincinnati En-
uuirer
