INDIANS SUDDEN WEALTH.
They Wanted Their Money in Green
backs for Display.

From the London Telegraph.
Wealth has suddenly come TO the French
River Indians through the sale OF the
valuable timber on their lands near Lake
Nipissing. For many years the late chief
of the Ojibways sternly repulsed the ad-
yances of the lumbermen, but his son has
yielded TO their solicitations. and It is
stated that altogether the band will uiti-
mately be entitled 10 something like 600
COO. The distribution is being made by
Indian Agent Cockburn at Sturgeon Falls.
The assembled braves listened stolidly 10
the explanations of the agent that the
piece of paper each received meant that
a large sum OF money was i'll the quebec
bank to their credit. which could be OH
tanned when required. a short lecture on
banking and the convenience OF the saw
ings department followed. after which the
recipients marched solemnly to the bank
and drew the face value of the checks.
Burdened with wealth. they returned To
the agents ONCE, where each Indian piled
his money upon the table and joyfully re-
garded the stacks Of greenbackS which
spelled case and comfort for some time TO
come. One Indian insisted on having bills
OF small denomination and was loaded up
with a mountain OF greenbacks. With
grin he staggered into the Office. money
bullying out of every pocket Slowly un-
packing himself. he piled his treasure on
the table. making bigger display than
any of his red brothers, which afforded
him the greatest satisfaction.
With difficulty the men were dissuaded
from carrying off their money to the re-
serve. twenty miles across Lake Nipis-
sing: but finally. after making generous
purchases and paying their bills. nearly
all deposited their wealth in the bank. 1t
is stated that the sale will mean in
come to some families OF G6O0 year. 4
not unnatural result of this sudden ac-
QUESTION OF wealth has been the frequent
and prolonged visits of young bucks from
other tribes. who are finding new attrac-
tions among the maidens of the Dokis
families. The matrimonial market has
shown quite a boom. One wedding has
already taken place and indications are
favorable for many more in the near fu'
ture. as every Dokis maiden represents an
immediate cash value of about GOO and
a prospective yearly income OF eco.

MAKING A FISHING ROD.
Different Kinds of Australian
Woods Used for Various Joints.

From the Field.
Queensland woods have lately come into
fashion for the making of fishing rods.
The South American greenhear was inn
ported into Australia and New Zealand
extensively formerly. but this has been
superseded by the woods of the Queens
land forests. which furnish material for
the building of a very effective rod, and
there is talk of establishing an export
trade
The following description of fishing
rod made from these Australian woods
illustrates the point. For the butt black
wood was employed. This is dark COL

very hard and heavy. 1t is used chiefly
as a substitute for the walnut and has

NO CHERRIES IN COCKTAILS.
Olive and Lemon Have Disappeared
From the Drink.

From the National Food Magazine.
One pathetic incident in the history of
American beverages is the passing of the
cherry from the cocktail glass. We have
SO long cherished the decorative bit of
red, and SO long enjoyed the old stories
on the subject. that news of the cherry
being out Of date comes with a positive
shock The olive in Martins is equally
bad form.
The cherry or olive is no longer served
unless asked for. and neither is the lemon
peel There is a reason for it all. When
cocktails were first used the American
palate required something sweet The
drink was calculated to please the eye
also. Now the taste has changed and
dry appetizers are ordered In the ma
jority of cases only persons from the
country insist upon the cherries AS for
