Salt Beds Near mstamoros, Mexico.

Thirty miles from MatamoroS ana
few miles from the coast OF the Gun
of Mexico are situated number of salt
beds, which are said to have during
dry seasons an annual production or
approximately 100000 pounds. The
land in this locality, having been form
erly the bed of the gulf. contains a
great amount of salt. During the rainy
season the beds of the lakes ana Ia
goons fill with water, which becomes
salty, and upon its evaporation crust
of salt is left from one to three lncneS
in thickness. The salt is gathered by
the owners Of the lands on which the
deposits are located; it is broken into
pieces with bars and shovels and con-
veyed in boxes to the place OF storage,
later being hauled by teams to Mata-
moros. Part of the output is used 10
cally, the remainder being shipped to
other Mexican points. The cost or
gathering this salt, relates correspon-
dent, is about 20 cents carga GOO
pounds), to which Is added lucent
state tax and a Scent federal tax. IL
sells in Matamoros for about ! cent a
pound, and is used for table and other
purposes. No attempt is made to re-
fine 1T, and while that next to the
ground contains more or less foreign
substance, the upper part OF the salt
crust is fairly free from sediment. The
output cannot be depended upon regu-
Iarly, owing to the fact that the salt
is sometimes dissolved by rains during
the "dry" season.

4 second messenger interrupted with
imperative summons from the council.
AS Mackenzie threw him into the
snow, he caught glimpse of the sway
ing forms before the council fire, heard
the deep basses of the men in rhythmic
chant, and knew the Shaman was fam
ming with anger of his people. Time
pressed. He turned upon the chief.
Come! l wish thy child. And now
See! here are tobacco, tea, many cups
OF sugar, warm blankets, handker-
chiefs, both good and large; and here,
a true rifle, with many bullets and
much powder"
Nay" replied the old man, strug-
Cling against the great wealth spread
before him. ''Even now are my people
come together They will not have

But thou art chief"
"Yet do my young men rage because
the wolves have taken their maidens
so that they may not marry"

night has passed into the day, the Wolf

And ere the night has gained it's

fire-bringer has whispered messages to
thy shaman; the same shall We hear.
Let the young men take the young

at the throat of the wolf; let them be
undying in their enmity! Then shall
their women become fruitful. and they
shall multiply into mighty people I!

Tiers from out of the North; and they
shall beat back the wolves till they
are as last years campfires; and they
shall again come to rule over all the
land! TITS the message of Jelchs, the
raven"
This foreshadowing of the Messiah's
coming brought a hoarse howl from
the Sticks as they leaped to their feet.
Mackenzie slipped the thumbs of his
mittens, and waited. There was a
clamor for the Fox, not to be stilled
till one of the young men stepped for
ward to speak.
brothers! The Shaman has spok-
en- wisely. The wolves have taken our
women, and our men are childless.
We are grown to q handful. The
wolves have taken cur warm furs and
given for them evil spirits which dwell
in bottles, and clothes which come net
from the beaver or the lynx, but are
made from the grass. And they are
rot warm, and our men die of strange
sicknesses. l, the Fox, have taken no
woman to wife; and why? Twice have
the maidens which pleased me gone to
the camps of the Wolf. Even now /
have laid by skins of the beaver, of
the moose, of the caribOo, that I might
win favor in the eyes of Thling-Tin-
neh, that might marry Zarinska, his
daughter. Even now are her snow
shoes bound to her feet, ready to break

The earliest shape of stamps was
virtually the same as it is today. The
triangle, diamond shape, Octagonal and
square were all tried, with an almost
universal return to the original rec

Queer British Punishment.

Here Is a queer punishment which
has never been removed from the
statute book. If you are motoring or
driving in England, and are unfortu-
nate enough to run over anybody and
cause his death, your mOtorcar or car
rage can be confiscated. Even fall
ing tree that causes the death Of q
human being can be taken from It's
owner. The strangest punishment
which still survives, relates British
writer, under modern law Is that OF
"outlawry." About ten years ago q
lawyer charged with forging a cheque
was "outlawed' in the Glasgow high
court. BY this sentence the person OF
the accused is declared forfeited. He
cannot bear testimony in court, nor
sue. nor defend an action. He cannot
act on a jury, nor vote at an election,
nor act as tutor or guardian to anoth-
err person. If anyone robs him he has
no redress.

MESSENGERS of Death.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds Of shells fired from Ger
man guns. and each and every one of
them has been given at least one nick
name by the Tommies, according to
London Tit-Bits. Some Of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind Of high explosive
shells, for instance, are known In
differently as "Dirty Dicks" "Jack
Johnsons." "Coal Boxes" "FlOwer
Potts." "Crumps," "Black Peters" or
"Whistling Willies."
The smaller kind are "Black Ma
rias" and "Woolly Bears" according to
whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with yell
lowish tinge.
High explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizz-
bangs" and "pip-squeaks," from their
habit of giving only those warnings Of
their approach. "Archibalds" are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectiles are little Willies."

"Af all" vociferated his tribesmen.
There is Moyri, whose eyes are
crossed by the evil spirit. Even the
babes are affrighted when they gaze
upon her, and it is said the bald-face
gives her the trail. Was she chosen?"
Again the cruel applause rang out.
"And there sits Pischet. She does
not hearken to my words. Never has
she heard the cry Of the chit-chat, the
voice of her husband, the babble of her
child. She lives in the white silence.
Cared the wolves aught for her? Mo-!

A great streamer Of fire, the aurora
Doreal1s, purple, green and yellow, shot
across the zenith, bridging horizon to
horizon. With head thrown back and
arms extended, he swayed to his
climax.
Behold! The spirits of our fathers
nave arisen and great deeds are afoot
this night !"
He stepped back, and another young
man somewhat diffidently came for
ward, pushed on by his comrades. He
lowered a full head above them, his
broad chest defiantly barred to the
frost. He swung tentatively from one
foot to the other. Words halted upon
his tongue, and he was Ill at ease. His
face was horrible to look upon. for it

sound of AIackenzies laughter.

The Fox hesitated.

He slouched forward like a beaten

THUS, and thus; so the thing is

trigger was at cock as Mackenzie
brought it to shoulder.
''The Fox has said great deeds were
afOot this night, and he spoke true.
There have been great deeds, yet
least among them were those Of the
Fox. Is he still intent to take Zarin-

He was supernatural in their sight
as ne rejoined Zarinska. She took her
place ut the head of the team, and the
dogs swung into motion. a few mo-
ments later they were swallowed III
by the ghostly forest. Till now Mac
kenzie had waited; he stopped into his
SnowShoes to follow.
''Has the Wolf forgotten the five
long plugs?"

grily: then the humor OF it Strucb
him.

my brothers will come, and they are
many, and their maws are never filed;
and the daughters of the raven shall
bear children in the lodges of the wolf.
My people are greater than thy people.
1t is destiny. Grant, and all this

Moccasins were crunching the snow
without. Mackenzie threw his rifle to
cock, and loosened the twin colts In bis
belt.
Grant, o chief"
"And yet will my people say no."
"Grant, and the wealth is thine.
sThen shall I deal with thy people
after"
"The Wolf will have it so. will
take his tokens-but I would warn
him."
Mackenzie passed over the goods,
taking care to clog the rifles ejector,
and Gaping the bargain with
Kaleidoscope silk kerchief. The Sha-
man and half dozen young braves
entered, but he shouldered boldly
among them and passed out.
"Pack!" was his laconic greeting to
Zarinska as he passed her lodge and
hurried to harness his dogs. A few
minutes later he swept into the coun-
Gil at the head of the team the woman
by his side. He took his place at the
upper end Of the oblong, by the side
of the chief. To his left, step to the
rear, he stationed Zarinska-her prop
! er place. Besides, the time was ripe

guard his back.
The singing and dancing ceased, and
the Shaman fiared up in rude elo-
uuence. Through the sinuosities of
their vast mythology, he worked cum
ningly upon the credulity Of his peo-
pie. The case was strong. Opposing
the creative principles as embodied il
TIN, crow and the raven, he stigmatizeG
Mackenzie as the wolf, the fighting
