"set Up, His Editorials.

In 1865 Mr. Brown edited the Herald at
Portland and afterward the Democratic
Press In Salem. In 1870 he went to Olympia,
Wash, under contract to write editorials for
the Washington Standard. conducted by
John Miller Murphy.
During the entire year" said 8. L. Craw-
ford, Seattle's pioneer newspaper man, Mr..
Brown never wrote line He went to the
case and set up his editorials in type. For
vigor. dction and word painting they were
models.
THE Standard ONCE was a great place
for Democratic politicians to meet nights
and discuss party affairs or tell stories
When Mr.. Murphy came In the next morn
ing he could invariably tell by the way
the chairs stood whether political affairs of
Importance or story telling had been the
order of the night. Every time the chairs
were drawn close together something of
Importance was brewing.
The following year Mr., Brown moved to
Seattle. where he established the Dispatch.
tho first daily newspaper ever printed in
this city His editorials were read by peo-
pie In all parts of the United States and
1t was the New York Sun, which replied to

anything about Washington write 10 The

Dana Secures His FditsriaIs.
Mr.. Brown capped the climax Of his eui-
toriai career by a series of articles exposing
the Northern Pacific at the time events
were leading up TO the selection OF Tacoma
as the Pacific Northwest terminal. Dana,
OF the New York Sun, had those editorials
transmitted by wire, and published them
the same morning they appeared In Seat
tie. That Eastern investors kept away at
that time, and that the Northern Pacific
and Jay Ike went into bankruptcy are
matters OF history
Mr.. Brown called the first mass meeting

ton. and outlined the plan which resulted

HUNTING THE CtHNCHILLA.
South American Indians Use Dyna-
r-tan L. .-..r.r.. Llrrcnnt Cl.ins

South American Indians Use Dyna-
mite to secure Perfect skins.
Killing ch nchilla with 1Le aid of dyna-
mite is one Of the lucrative pastimes Of
the South American lndians which en-
rich the commerce of the world very con-
sidcrably.
High in the mountains the nimble foot
ed chinchilll are caught and killed by
half savage Indians. Tact and skill are
needed to lure the cautious little animal
from its hole in the earth. Originally
the Indians used to iSc cactus prongs,
which are long and sharp. TO capture
them in their holes by impaling them on
the end of this natura. spear. This pune
turCd the skin and impaired its value.
The tgapprrS tried to smoke the chin
chilla out by making great fires near the
entrance of the burrows, but the smoke,
il was found. caused the skin TO turn yell
low, which seriously deprecated its val
uc Now the more progressive Indians
use dynamite.
After locating the chinchilla they form
Il network of grass and hardy plants,
which is placed around the hill on the
side Of which the animal digs its holes A
dynamite cartridge with Il time fuse at
tached is then discharged in the center of
the net, which frghtons the chnchilla so
that they leave their holes and scamper
wildly TO and fro about the space inside
the net. The Indians then dash into the
arena with clubs and kill them by strik-
ing them over the head. This is consid-
cred the easiest ana best method of kill
ing them. as it does not in any way dam
age the SKINS which vary in value from
So to SO each. When it is considered
that as many as 100 animals are killed in
one sortic of this character. the value of
the skins to the Indians. who are shrewd
commercial traders, may bc imagined.
Some of the tribe own ferrcts, which
they use to good advantage. They pay
rs much as So for one The ferrets are
taken to the mountain tops and sent
through the furroWs chasing the chin
chiila out into the open, where they are
clulbcd 10 death with celebrity by the
waiting Indians. The skins are removed
Immediately and placed on shrubs to dry.
The evening meal of the trappcrs often
consists of the bodies of the slain ro-
dents, the meat of which is white and
tender. The hearts of the latter are Civ
en- TO the fcrrcts.
\ great part of the trapping is done at
night, the chinchilla seldom being visible
in the daytime. The nights are cool and
clear. and there being but little vege-
tation AT the height where the chinchilIa
are caught. the mountains are for long
period each month Illuminated by the
rays of the moon. enabling the Indians
to move about with great agility for
their prey. The chinchilla lives princi-
pally on herbs and often when it comes
out to feed is trapped by the Indians.

OUR SENSITIVE SKIN.
Except For Cutting 1t, Operations

would lie Practically, Painless.
In human beings the sensitiveuess Of
the internal organs is very small as COM
pared with thar of the skin Examples
of this are familiar to every one While
in health no one knows anything of his
"inside." He has no sensations from it.
Even disease of very serious kind can
and often does 80 on for years in the in
ternal organs without causing any sensa-
tion. The nerves of the internal organs
are much more concerned with regulating
functions and controlling the size of the
blood vessels than with the conveyance
of Sensory impressions to the brain. Life
would, in fact, be unbearable if the fune-
tious Of animal life in a normal condition
caused sensation, and they would cause
it if the organs were richly supplied with
senSory nerves
Every surgeon knows. for example,
that the human intestine is. when its
muscular coat is at rest. almost as in
sensitive rs the hair or nails. In the op-
Grafton of opening the intestine, often re-
Quired in the presence of malignant dis
ease, the cut in the skin and the business
of fixing the gut to the skin would be
very painful, and deep an@sthesia is re-
Quired. Two days later, when the gut in
its new position has to be opened. the
patient is told to shut his eyes. and he
feels nothing-he does not even vince
while wound nearly two inches long is
made in the intestinal wall with either
knife or hot iron. This has been proved
by many hundreds of cases. and certainly
ii is not to be explained rs due to stoi-
ciSm on the part of the patient. Other
Important operations have been done
without an~sthesia except for the skin
cut and without giving rise to suffering
