The Indians held one of their annual
"big cries" Monday night IN memory
of the dead mem bers OF the tribe. The
cry was attended by mem bers of the
tribe from different parts of the coun.
ty and attracted many visitors from
Kingman to the camp south of town.
The old and tried veteran weepers of
the tribe we're absent and the young
and inexperienced mourners failed to
drive the devil very far away. The
Wallapais, as are all Indian tribes, are
very superstitious and have the big
cries for the purpose of warding off
evil and mourning for those who have
departed for the happy hunting
ground subsequent to the last cry. On
these occasions the Indians black

fanciful attire in order to hide their

 World.
 After sixteen years search. Henry Williams and his wife found their kid mapped son John through an advertise ment in The World. in the State hos pital here. He is serving a term for burglary A clairvoyant recent pre- dicted that they would find him.
 Sixteen years ago this month John Williams. then years old. was kid naped from his home at Berkley. Eng land. His father and mother believed that the hov had been kidnapped by two women and brought to America. Will Hams and his wife sold their house and drawing the small savings they had in a bank came to this country, but could learn nothing of their son. Finally Williams and his wife obtain ed empl oyment in a mill at Fall River, Mass.
 Last year Mrs. Williams consulted a chairvoyant in Boston and was told that her son was in some institution said that when he was 10 years old she would find him, provided she advertis- ed for him. Advertisements were in serted m several HSWSpdpeTS. OHe day a copy of The World fell into the hands of young inmate of the Mat teawan State hospital. Henry Johns, who had recovered his reason.
 Johns had frequently told the author ities that he had been Kidnapped when a child and concluded to answer the advertisement. He did So and Will liams came here to visit him. After talking with him some time he decided that his son had been found.
 Williams and his wife came here again yesterday from Fall River and had an interview with Johns. Mrs. Williams was positive that he was their son. He resembles -he father strikingly. Mrs. Williams said her son had large hithmarks on the right thigh and left shoulder. These marks were found on Johns. So satisfied are Mir. and Mrs. Williams that he Is their son that they will endeavor to have John released. He Is serving a term for burglary committed at Buffalo. He was sent to the Elmira reformatory and transferred to the Manhattan hos pital two years ago.

 It is interesting to make inquiry into the cause of this unfortunate quality Of the onion. It is simply due to the presence in some quantity of another mineral matter in the bulb-sulphur. It !s this sulphur that gives the onion Its germ-killing property and makes the bulb so very useful a medicinal agent at all times, but especially in the spring. which used to be-and still is in mary places-the season for talk ing birthstone and treacia in old fash- toned houses, before sulphur tablets came into vogue. Now sulphur, when united to hydrogen. one of the gases of water forms suiphurated hydrogen. and then becomes a foul-smelling, well nigh fetid, compound. The onion, be- ing so juicy, has a very large percent age of water in it's tissues, and this, combining with the sulphur, forms the strongly scented and offensive sub- stance called sulphuret of allyle. which Is found in all the alliums. This sul- phuret of allyle mingles more especial ly with the volatile or aromatic oil of the onion. 1t is identical with the malodorant principle found in asafoet- ida, which is almost the symbol of all smells that are nasty.
 The horseradish, So much liked with roast beef for its keen and biting prop erty, and the ordinary mustard oc our tables both owe their strongly stirnula- tive properties to this same sulpharet of allyle. which gives them heat and avridity, but not an offensive yUiefI, owing to the different arrangement of the atoms of their volatile oils
 This brings us to a most curl ous fact in nature, that most strangely, ylet most certainly. constructs all vegetable volatile oils in exactly the same way composes them all, whethey they are they are the aromatic essences of cloves. oranges lemons. cinnamon, etc, of exactly the same proportions, which are 8S1-4 of carbon to Il 2-4 of hydrc- gen, and obtains all the vast seeming diversities that our nestrils detect in their scent simply by g Sa&ecent ar- rangement of the atoms in each vege- table oil

a fev minutes before o'clock last night from Assateague, Va, where they had landed in four, small boats after the loss of their vessel. Just like shipwrecked crews pictured in novels of maritime flavor were the Uriante's bronzed men when they gath cred around H. c. Newcomb. the Span ish consul. and M. L. de Mello. the chancellor of the Spanish consulate. in the railroad station, Many of the men were barefooted. scantily clad and bad ly burned by a days exposure in the open boats under a fierce sun. Captain Estinza. sturdy. and with gray hair and beard. looked more like Scotch whaling captain than Spanish skipper as he quietly told in his own tongue the story of the wreck.
 There was fog and the waves were running high, when an unusually big waved lifted the vesser' said the cap tain. and she struck the shore. In a remarkably short time her stern began to sink. and her bow was in the air That sent the soft ore sliding backward and tSe Uriante's bow rose higher and the steamer seemed to plunge like a rearing horse. ,r f'
 Slowly but steadily the vessel con- tinued to sink, bow first, into the pick sand. She began to break in three places. and we quickly but quietly. and with excellent. order upon the part of all hands. got the four boats over the side. Some of the men were able to gather their shoes and some clothing, and threw them into the boats. but the others dropped away from the sinking steamer just as they stood. Water and sea biscuit were hurried into the boats. and we all pulled away so that there would be no danger of being sucked down by the shaking vessel.
 Ut was about ? o'clock when we struck the shore. and half hour later were pulling away in the fog, the steamer having been completely swal- lowed in the quicksand of the shore. Of course we didn't know where we were. but the four boats kept together all night. We rowed all day for what we believed was the shore. In the afternoon the weather had cleared and the life savers saw our boats and came out to us. We were taken ashore at Assateague. and we shall pray for those life savers for their splendid Kindness to us. They were magnificent to us."

ANIMAL DRUNKARDS.

cumb to Influence of Liquor.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat:
 Speaking of animals cultivating . taste for alcohol, said a gentleman at the St. Charles several days ago. re- minds me of the fact that have known a few confirmed drunkards among the lower orders of life. I have frequently seen Robin Redbreast under the influence. Cherries are frequently resorted to by the robin that is anxious to go on a jamboree. and I have seen these pretty songsters so full that they could not sit upon limb without swaying, and occasionally have seen them fall to the ground when in this condition. Mocking birds. too. are great booze fighters when they can get to a berry tree that will produce the de- sired effect
 I know of a number of men who got in the habit of drinking beer with sugar in 1t. and I happened to know that they got the idea from the mon- key that was very fond of beer, but would never touch 1t until it was sweetened. But I had in mind a story told by friend of mine, who has spent all his life in the section of Tennessee where great amount of whisky is dis titled. He is an honorable fellow. and I am sure he would not tell a story aDouL the natter1ln question. ne ndo a certain horse that he was very fond of. and he was wild, reckless sort of an animal. but had nothing particu larly harmful to his credit
 There was a branch running through the place where my friend lived, and 1t started on the place adjoining, where there was a distillery. The pasture on my friends place. where the horses romped and grazed. was separated from the distillery site by fence. Just below the fence was a small lagoon, that broke out from the side of the branch. The water was still. but clear and clean. My friend noticed that his favorite horse always drank out of this pool. For while he could not under stand it. The frequency with which the horse went to the place aroused his suspicious.
 Remembering that the distillery was just over the fence from the pool, he divined the reason for 1t all; and. upon investigation. he found that. at certain times every day, before the process of evaporation got in their work. there was a heavy whisky odor. and, in fact, a considerable percentage of whisky in this pool. The horse had learned to like the flavor and effect of the drink,

'I didn't get time to ask him to kiss me-" she said. Just after I told him I had never met him before, but had heard lots about him, he took my hand and shook it. Then they called him to go forward and acknowledge the cheers. and he left me there alone while the people crowded around him."
 Then the newspaper men. with con- mendable -imaginatio wired little &C., counts to their papers of how Bonnie Maie. vaudeville actress. had asked Captain Hobson to allow her to kiss him. and how he had side-stepped and avoided the rush.

London Polyclinic.
 Mortality statistics collected in diff fereut countries seem to concur in giving evidence of steady reduction fn fhe number of deaths from consum- pt1on during the past half century, It may be plausibly suspected that the whole of the apparent gain IS not real and that greater exactitude Of dlagno- sis and a more precise use of the term "phthisis pulmonalis" may explain awav some of it. Still, we may fhankfuily believe that a large part is TaaI. We obtain support in that con- cIuson by the general impressions 6ormed by intelligent old people. who. aiu.ost without exception, assure us shev near and see far less of "consum- Dtion' now than they did in the days of their youth.
