But let us return to our camn We
were Joined at Lower Fort Garry bv
several other boats, each with a crow
OF eight Indians, and so our camn-fires
were numerous. While every phase Of
this new life was interesting, we were
specially amused with the operations
OF one of the Indian cooks. who had
Deen detailed to cook the "cakes" for
his party. He had neither bake board
pan, dish, nor oven. Our curiosity was
excited to observe his methods, and SO.
without seeming to attract his atten-
ton, with great interest we followed
his various movements and expedients.
and admired his inventive skill. Truly
necessity is the mother of invention. -
Having no baking pan in which to
pour out his flour, he proceeded to
clear away the dust and leaves from a
granite rock that cropped up to the
surface near by. His moccasined foot
performed the operation sufficiently to
suit his simple taste. Then from the
bag he poured out fifteen or twenty
pounds of flour on this spot. Having
no dish in which to bring water from
the river to mix with his flour, he
found capital substitute in his dirty
old greasy felt hat Several trips
down to the river gave him sufficient,
and soon he had the whole deity mix
ed into dough. His next move was to
build up capital fire, and then, from
the willows near the shore, to supply
himself with quite number of sticks,
ABOUT the size and length Of ordinary
walking canes. Then splitting on his
hands he attacked that pile of dough.

GOODNESS IN THE PULPIT.
Probably Saved a Congregation from
Panic and Disaster.

Probably Saved Congregation from
Panic and Disaster.
Already vastly popular with his con-
gregation, Rev. Arthur Wildwood of
Brooklyn, raised himself still higher
in general estimation on recent
Sunday, when his GOODNESS in the pres
ence of danger probably averted a
wild stampede from the Church Of the
Incarnation. Although there were in
dications of impending disaster, the
people, acting upon his advice, filed
out of the church in an orderly man
ner to find fire sngine pouring water
into the cellar through a front win
dow. Shortly after II o'clock smoke
began to pour up through the regis
tiers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Ar
thur Wildwood, went down to the Gel
lar to see if the furnace was smoking
He was alarmed to find the cellar full
of smoke, so dense that he could not
go inside He ran out and turned in
an alarm Then he walked rapidly up
the aisle, and after whispering to the
officiating clergyman, said aloud: "The
furnace seems to be smoking worse
than usual. I thi1 k the congregation
had better retire to allow us to open
the windows" The people, assured by
his calmness, retired in good order. but
became somewhat alarmed when thew
saw the engines and firemen in the
street. 10 e-~.

Mr.. Justice Maule once went on cir.

the country where the high sheriff was
a shy and modest man and very much
alarmed at having to entertain his
cynical lordship. Coming home in his
coach with the two judges, he thought
it his duty to make conversation for
them. He observed that he hoped
there would be better weather, as the
moon had changed. 4 'And are you
such a fool, Mr.. Jones, as to imagine
that the moon has any effect on the

They were furnished by the company

Perhaps it may not be out of place

wife used it, off and on, for years, and
they hereby testify that in it there is
more nourishment, pound for pound,
than in any other kind of food they
ever used.
The method of it's preparation was
something like this: When the Indian
or half-breed hunters succeeded in
killing large number of buffaloes, af-
ter being skinned, the meat was skill
fully cut off in large thin flakes and
strips. These were placed on frame
staging; utilizing the heat and warmth
Of the sun above, and small, steady
fire made of buffalo chips, below, these
thin sheets of meat were soon as dry
as they could be. The next step in
the process was to pound this dry meat
as fine and small as possible. Large
bags, capable of holding from one to
three bushels, were made by the
squaws out of the fresh buffalo hides,
with the fur side out. Into these green
hide bags, this pounded dried meat was
packed. To aid in the packing down

and stamp and dance around in it, as
it was held up by two other strong,
