Methods of Canadian Indians In Trav-

 A Canadian Indian, states a contem- porary, never loses his way in the woods, being always able to find his road over a route once followed by him and also to penetrate forests that he has never seen if only another In- dian shows him the general course in a rough draft on piece of bark.
 Indians display marked ability in communicating with one another in the woods They telegraph by means of smoke, and it is astonishing how far off they can scent it-always a long time before they can see it or could expect to be followed by another party they stick a piece of wood in the ground on portage, slanting it in the direction in which they are travelling. Those who find it will know by the de- gree of inclination whether they who planted it are travelling hurried1y or not

Countina PostaI Cards.

Of the many interesting machines employed by the government in its daily work there may be mentioned those used for counting and tying postal cards into small bundles. These machines are capable of counting 50O,- 900 cards in ten hours and wrapping and tying them in packages of twen- ty-fve each. In this operation the pa- per is pulled off drum by two long fingers which emerge from below, and another finger dips in a vat of mu- cflage and applies itself to the wrap ping paper in precisely the right spot Other parts of the machine twine the paper round the pack of cards, and then a thumb presses over the spo+ whereon the mucilage has been ap- piled. whereupon the package is thrown on a carrying belt ready for delivery Journal.

THE GERMAN CENSOR.
He Was Terror to the Dramatist a
 Hundred Years Ago.


 Hundred Years Ago.
 The way the censor worried the Ger man dcamatists of century or so ago is strikingly illustrated by a book on the censorship in Germany published by Dr. Robert Heind1 at Munich. The German theater used to be terribly moral In 1795 the Viennese censor laid it down that an engaged couple ought not to quit the stage separately, but that they should be accompanied by an official who should be under stood to be about to make immediate arrangements for their marriage. Even in 1848 misallianees were prohibited on the Viennese stage, for, as the cen sor sagely observed, these misfortunes will occur in real life but they should not be allowed in the theater.
 At Stuttgart the ''Iphigenia in Tau ris'' of Goethe was nearly prohibited because the Greek dress allowed the actors bare legs to be seen. There was long dispute over this point, but at last the censor permitted the play on condition that the actors wore yell low tights.
 Few would have imagined that the Viennese censor was so careful of the morals of the population hundred years ago. but Dr. Hefndl shows that not merely political allusions were cen sored, but that the strictest decorum of word and of thought was insisted upon.
