TIE HORSES TO HOLES
TO THE UNINITIATED IT SEEMS
IMPOSSIBLE.
How the Indians on the Sandy Plains
Keep Their Steeds From
Wandering.

From the Chicago Record Herald
Tying ones horse to hole in the around
is strange proceeding, and to the uniritt-
ated seems impossible, but in the grcat
California deserts, with their vast said
wastes and alkaline beds, where NTH, ?
trees nor shrubs have courage TO grow
and where sticks and even stones refuse
to exist, the demand for some eificaeious
method of hitching animals has been in
perative.
The white man, with all his ingenuity.
has always found the question of anChoTius
his horse on the desert to be an enigma
and unless he has a wagon to which b.
may tie his steed, he finds himself in "a
dilemma. Even If he has a wagon, the in
tense dryness of the air. especially in Death
Valley, plays havoc with wood and pros
pector frequently has his conveyance fall
apart, piece by piece, leaving him stranded
without means of transporting his goods.
Deadly Heat.
Fear and necessity compel the desert
traveller to keep in motion, for the sun Is
relentless and treacherous. as is the yul-
ture that hovers above with an anxious
CLEAN Of expectation in its eyes.
Over miles and miles of burning, path
less sands he may be doomed to wander
While the sun pursues with heated N!gi-
lance. His horse is his only companion.
the only living thing besides himself in the
great heartless plain, and he clirCs to IL
for safety a captain clings to mis- ship.
If nature rebels against the struggle, and
the traveller must rest, the only possible
way he can think of to fasten his hcrsa
while he lies down to entice brief sleep
is to tie the halter rope around his arm, his
leg or his body.
An animal requires a proportion Of water
equal to that of man, and becomes cri.Zed
If his thirst is not Quenched In such cases
he is liab BILE to plunge and careen wildly away
over the sands like ship in a gale. drag
ging his human anchor to destruction ard
death.
The Indian Method
Such has been the experience Of the white
man, but the desert Indians, who have
never been accredited with superabundant
wits. have for many years employed "a
method that is clever. unique and effective
that of fastening their animals to holes in
the ground. During a recent trip TO Tie
desert photographer caught an Indian ia
the very act.
Kneeling on the hot sad the Indian began
to dig with his hands, which were as hard
and tough and imperyious to pain a
dogs paws. He worked energetically uuiil
he had made hole about Two feet deep.
He then tied an immense knot in the end
of the halter rope, lowered il into the bot
tom of the hole, filled the hole with sand.
and then jumped and stamped upon il til
the earth over the knot was solid.
II was a curious performance, but the
horse is in a particularly frivolous state
of mind, these subterranean hitching posts
will perform their duty quite wcll as
the conventional city arrangement.

st. Patrick's Grave,

From The Baltimore American.
After ages Of neglect the traditional rest

patrick, has been covered with a memorial
stone. The stone is a rough, weather beat
en- bowlder Of granite, weighing about
seven tons, from the mountainside Of
Slieve-na-Largie. where II rested at a
height of 900 feet. Upon the upper surface
of this bowler Is carved an Irish cross.
faithfully reproduced from one cut on an
equally rough, unhewn stone found on the
Island of Inisclothran, one of the islands Of
Tough Rea, where St. Diarmid founded his
famous ecclesiastical settlement about the
middle of the sixth century. Under the
cross the name "Patric" is cut in Irish
characters, copied from the earliest known
Celtic manuscripts. This simple treatment
is considered to be the nearest approach TO
the form OF monument which would have
been constructed about the year 46g the
supposed date of the saints death. The
movement was Initiated by Mr.. r. j. Big

There Is much in the Normandy country

resemblance there Is mostly somewhere in

trees, whence twice or thrice day the
bell reminds the faithful OF the central fact
of their religion.
But have not observed here the deyout
attitude of the two human figures in the
picture of the Angelus. Perhaps for that
we should go to Brittany, where the folk
have preserved better the old spirit of de-

FALSE PIsTACHIO NUTS.
How the Demand Has Been Supplied
by Various Subterfuges.

from the new fork fost
What with the popularity Of green Ice
cream and confectionery and the growth
of immigration from Mediterranean coun-
tries. there has been a steady increase In
the consumption Of pistachio nuts. So ex-
tensive has been the change that many
merchants have yielded to the temptation
Of initiating the pleasant vegetable tissue
In favor it is like q, mild almond, and the
chief perceptIble difference, between the two
lies In the color. The INSCRIPTIONS dealer
blanches his almonds. brushes them and
colors them with chlorophyll or spinach
green. The imitation Is So close that onlv
experts can tell the difference between the
two. The Greeks in New York seem to have
been the first to discover this ingenious
fraud, and seldom sell the pistachio paste
which was once in vogue. They import and
keep in stock medium quantities Of pista-
chic nuts. which are said to be grown In
Greece, the Greek archipelago and Asia
Minor. These nuts are smaller than the
average and are harder and dryer. The Ar
menians use a larger size, which Is said to
como from their own country, Syria and
Persia. To an American palate the nuts
are not very agreeable. They are a trife
too hard. and suggest biting on a piece of
wood rather than any nutritious kernel.
Both Greeks and Armenians employ them
for a variety Of purposes. In nearly ali
cases the nuts are hulled. scalded and skin
ned. The kernel is then crushed dry OF
broken and softened by hot water. It may
be boiled into soft substance, tribe
harder than a baked potato. or 1t may be
roasted, although the operation gives 1t a
burned and not altogether enjoyable taste.
The Greeks utilize the nut in many varte-
ties of cake and confectionery, while the
Armenians employ 1t in stufilng fowl, lamb
and in making pilau ana other savory
dishes. The pistachio nuts are not over ex-
pensive, costing about the same as the al
monds. 1t is possible that we will have
some Of native growth ere long. as the
experiment of raising them Is now being
tried in southern California.
