SAW MILL ACCIDENT
James DeHaas Terribly Injured
by Coming in Contact With
Slab Saw at Skanee.

James DeHaas, brother OF N. M.
DeHaas, the sawmill operator al
Huron Bay, about eighteen miles
east OF L L'Anse, met with a terrible
accident at the mill about Z o'clock
Wednesday morning. The un-
fortunate man was working near a
rapidly revolving slab saw, when
he slipped and fell upon the saw.
His right leg was cut off just above
the ankle, and before he could be
removed the saw had badly
lacerated his left leg between the
knee and thigh.
Word was despatched to LAnse
for medical assistance, and upon the
arrival of physicians it was decided
to remove the unfortunate man to
st. Joseph's hospital at Hancock.
He was taken to that city
by tug boat late Wednesday
afternoon. An operation was per-
formed at the hospital in the even
ing, and at last accounts the
patient was resting quite easily.

COUNTY POOR HOUSE
George Trudeau,l of L'Anse,
Awarded Contract For Erec-
tiOD of Buildings.

At meeting OF the superintend
ents of the poor for Baraga county
held June Both, contract was lei
to George Trudeau, OF this village,
for the construction of buildings on
the county poor farm, about three
miles south of L'Anse.
The contract price amounts to q
little over $500, to include the
furnishing Of all material. The
proposed building is similar to one
erected in Manistique, for the
county of Schoolcraft. The plans
call for a two.story frame building
with wing, the main building to
be 32x24 feet in dimensions, with
cellar full size. The wing will really
be larger than the main building,
its dimensions being 50x24 feet. 1t
is expected the work will be COM
pleted by Oct. 1st next.
Proposals were asked for some
time ago, for the erection of the
buildings, but those received were
all too high, the smallest of the
bunch being for IS, 200.
The board has 81, 900 to spend on
the buildings, which amount was
raised by tax last year.

sued their retreating brethern over
as far as the northern shore of Lake
Huron. They were the possessors
OF the whole territory; the valley of
the Ottawa Welded them their game
which few years before was the
right and support of their exiled
brethern.
Detected, disheartened, the Hurons
presented themselves at the doors of
the great council wigwams OF the
different nations whom they had
made enemies by their former re-
peated depredations; but rather
than submit to be led by their own
6rethern, as a conquered race,
throughout their former possessions,
those who came to the northwest
called council among themselves,
in which it was determined upon
what should be done.
This council, according to tradi-
tion, must have been held some
where on the northern shore of
Lake Huron.
The Hurons assembled themselves
in council, and in the course OF their
deliberations, they desired several
OF their chiefs to visit .the great
Ojibway family, on Lake Superior,
and see whether that nation would
forgive them the wrongs they had
done them, and admit them as their
allies. The war canoes of the
Hurons were manned and padded
on the bosom of the great lake in
search of a place OF refuge. They
arrived quite late in the autumn at
the eastermost village of the Ojib-
ways, a situation they named
Pe-quak wah-ming, (now Pc.
quaming.)
1t was the policy of the Hurons
to present themselves in q pitiable
condition before their superiors,
the Ojibway family of the great
lake, that they might the more
easily obtain their favor and sym
pathy. Tradition informs us that
they came and presented themselves
before the council door of that ma
tion and begged them to spare their
own children lives. They had
painted their faces black. rent their
clothes and with emanciated and
haggard frames, came to implore
their aid. They narrated their
misfortunes to incite the pity of the
nation.
The Ojibways saw them and
yielded to pity and compassion.
The Hurons were received as friends;
they overcame the war spirit of the
Ojlbways, who kindly seated them
at their side.
The Huron chief detailed the bar
barous act of their brethern, and
narrated in glowing language their
cruelty; that their allies had driven
them from their lands; that their
children had been thrown on the
blaze of their own fires in their own
wigwams, and that the wigwams,
beneath which they had resided for
years, had been reduced to ashes.
Some were compelled to drink the
blood of their own children, while
those who were carried away into
their own brethern's country were
denied food and were offered their
own children S flesh in its, stead.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
LIFE IN BRAZIL.

lNOICs "A4GOA - O"AO "AS1ONO
has written of home-life in Brazil,
as known to her personally, and as
fairly representing that of South
America in general, so far as the
interior of the country is concerned.
While the coast cities and the in
terror towns connected with them by
the few railroads which until the
present time have penetrated into
the "Sertao" Gas the vast region lit
tie known and thinly populated of
the interior of Brazil is called, have
the civilization and modes of life of
Southern Europe, the people of re-
mote country districts retain many
of the primitive habits and customs
of the Eastern ancestry. 1t would
be easy to imagine ones self back
among ~patriarchal races and Bibli-
cal customs.
The houses of the poor and middle
classes are of the simplest construc-
ton, called pao a pique. Heavy posts
set in the ground serve as a frame
work, while upright poles between
them, interlaced with plant boughs
Cor the cipos, which climb over the
trees in every Brazilian forest), plas-
tered with clay, form the walls.
There are wooden shutters to the
apertures which serve as windows,
and there is a tile roof or grass
thatch. A few articles of rude fur
niture supply the needs in that di-
rection.
Even the more ]pretentious houses,
with their curtainless windows and
bare floors, seem but cherries homes
to the more favored inhabitants of
colder climates. The mild climate
and open-air life, however, render
such civilized appliances less indis-
pensable, and the swarms of chill
dren who pour from these humble
dwellings prove hat they are not
unhealthy.
Women, though ignorant and SUI
perstitious, hold a higher position
and exert a greater influence than in
many other countries. According to
their light they are often notable
housewives, attending well to their
duties, which consist in the care of
the children and the preparation of
their food.
FOOT.
The farinha thus prepared keeps
for a long time and is sprinkled over
the food or used with milk. 1t is an
indispensable part of a meal in the
interior. Farinha is also made of
the mandicoca or cassava root, and
with feijao-dark beans, and rice,
constitutes the larger part of the
family supply of food. Conve and
the tender green sprouts of the abo-
bara or cushaw pumpkins, are large
ly used for green food. The conve
is what is known as collards in some
parts of the United States. It is
shredded fine like slaw and scalded.
Thus prepared it makes a very whole
some dish which is much esteemed.
The family must be Door. indeed.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-02-03

The use of the pumpkin shoots was
learned from the Indians, from
whom many customs were derived.
Palm cabbage is another food in
general use. The top of species
of palm is cut off in a stick two or
three feet long and is as thick as a
mans arm. Layer after layer is
peeled off until the tender bud is
reached and it supplies a small dish
of palmito. A tree is, of course, de-
stroyed to furnish each dish, but this
is considered of little Importance, a.
the palms are abundant and of
rapid growth. Butter is little used
except; in the towns, and is imported
from Europe; but homemade cheese
is an important article of diet, and
milk, fresh from the cow, is largely
used and considered very beneficial
for invalids. It takes the place of
the universal early morning coffee
on the farms, and is brought into
the towns in bottles strung across
the backs of horses or mules.

MEDICINES

The people are quite skillful in the
use of vegetable remedies, the fora
of the country being exceedingly
rich in medicinal plants and trees.
Much of this knowledge was also de-
rived from the Indians, and every
experienced head of a household pos
sesses an almost unlimited pharma-
copia. They seem to make up for
the want of knowledge derived from
books by a much larger amount of
practical knowledge than usually
falls to the lot of those who have
more theoretical information.
They are a kindly and hospitable
folk, almost Eastern in their kind
ness to strangers.

CUSTOMS.

Marriages are made very early,
sometimes at twelve years of age, and
frequently at fourteen or fifteen.
As in warm climates generally, chill
dren develop very early, and, conse-
quently, the burdens of life fall
heavily upon the women especially.
The girls are pretty, bright crea-
lures with sparkling eyes and album
dant glossy, dark hair; but they
o fade and lose their beauty. By
the time they are thirty-fve or forty
they look like old women. Children
are much more docile than their
more active fellows in colder coun-
tries, and even in their plays are
rather languid. Their minds seem
to partake of the early bodily de-
velopment, and where they have the
opportunity 70 attend school they are
often more advanced than the chill
dren of the Same age in northern
countries, but they (the girls espe-
cially) frequently leave school so
young that the development is apt
to be arrested after a certain age.
There is much hat is patriarchal
in the simplicity of their lives. Some
of their ways are quite interesting.
When a young person comes into the
