BILLIARD CUES.
How They Are Made-America Fur
nishes the Best.

How They Are Made-America Fur
nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said New York
manufacturer the other day, "are made
in two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally of
maple, and the butt. which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into handle Of
rosewood, snakewood. ebony, mahog'
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood. which is cut to dovetail with the
long part.
"The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block Is turned
to the shape of the handle in lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted it is
finished and polished.
""The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means Of a
double wedge. At the top Of the cue is
a ferrule of ivory, of horn or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
Of course it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workman
ship on cues is put in on the butts,
some Of which are deliberately inlaid
and carved in beautiful patterns.
There are number Of billiard play
ers who will not pmit another person
to use their cues, and for the use of
these particular players cues are turn
ed out from which the tips may be I'M
screwed, leaving the cue with uninish-
ed points and useless
American billiard cues are the light
est, strongest and neatest made any
where in the world. They are made
in all weights and lengths and rank in
price from 30 cents to $25 and more
each, according to the quality and fin
ish of the article.-Washington Star.

N P. STOCK STRONG,
Reported Oil Discoveries Doomed the
New York Market,

From the Special Wall Street Representative
of the Spokesman-Reveiw)
New York, March 15. Northern
Pacific stock was especially strong on
the street today, owing to the reports
of important discoveries of copper and
oil on land belonging to the road in
Washington, and especially near Spo-
kane. If the reported discovery is
found to be true it will have great
bearing an the future financial stand
ing of the company. It is said that
the Washington land grant taken at
it's present valuation of so, OOO, 900, will
be worth at least $5O,OOO,OOO in the
event OF the discovery of oil in pay
ing quantities.
The land of the Pacific Coal, Oil &
Gas Company lies only one half mile
from the Northern Pacific railroad.

you feel like investing in PROPOSE

this company is, now is the time.
Our local papers have taken much
interest in the matter for the past two

IS GENUINE PETROLEUM.
Prof Samuel Aughey States That o
the Recent Wild Rose Find.

Professor Samuel Aughey, one OF
| the best oil authorities in the north
west, has returned from Wild Rose
prairie, where he made an examina-
tion of the recent oil discovery in that
section, and his report, in part, is as
| follows:
1.-The Lewis farm has running
through it a rivulet, and it is in places
along this stream that the oil has been
found. Where the water collected
| petroleum was seen to float 1t pos
sessed all the marks of genuine miner
al oil, and, to avoid all possibility OF
a mistake, [ brought home with me
two bottles of the oil and water, dipped
up by myself, and subjected them to
chemical tests. These tests showed
beyond a shadow of doubt that the
| substance under examination was gen
uine petroleum.
'"The oil was not placed there by ac-
| cident, as was evinced by the fact that
! in other parts of the valley, probing
the bottom where there was still water
would cause a few drops of oil to rise
This occurred at such various points
that I could not doubt the presence of
genuine rock oil.
these springs the characteristic odor
OF petroleum was pronounced, and at
once detected in the water of the springs
and in the mud around the springs.
The presence of gas was not so notice
able as at other places I have seen,
owning to the hard, chalky earth under
the water that prevented it's escaping
except through assures. SPOKANE

y An Uncouth Mode Of Burial.
OF all the modes of burial ever prac-
ticed by creatures in the shape Of hui
man beings the method of the Queens
land nomads is certainly the most I'M
couth. After drying the corpse in the
sun and knocking out its teeth for
keepsakes they deposit 1t on frame
work of rough poles and bury it under
a few armsful Of rushes and old kan
CARGO skins, leaving the bush wolves
to sing it's requiem.
No member of the dead mans tribe
will settle within mile of his grave
for fear Of being haunted by the
spooks making the burial place their
midnight rendezvous. The metaphys
ical opinions of the Australian aborig-
ines prove indeed that savages can be
afflicted with an abundance Of super
naturalism without betraying a trace
of anything deserving the name of re-
ligious sentiment.
They believe in evil spirits whistling
in the blasts Of the storm wind and try
IN exercise them nv shifting in the di-
rection Of the sky, but for the concep-
lions Of the deity, Of future existence,
Of repentance atonement and con-
SCIENCE their language has not even |
definite word From somewhere in the |
land of their forefathers- Asia. |
perhaps-they have imported a notion |
family resembling the Buddhist doc |
trine Of metempsychosis and believe
that animals may be reborn as men
and men as human beings of superior |
rank.

loss or danger. The expression conveys
no suggestion of piggish characteristics.
The origin of the phrase is doubtless due to
