Old-Time Indian Hunt
Charles Gipson reiates the following
interesting account of an old time Indian hunt in the Creek Nation, says,
the "Dallas News.
"Some flfty-flye years agq the §ree"c
iRdians; wpuld gg pn camp, hunts/ t|at
lasted "rem Noyemtjer un'ti} May, §n
these hunts it was common for thgm to
EC as far as the Kocky mountains.
They tell of seeing people *who traveled
on their hands and feet, and in this
way ran very fast   The young   men
like any other chicken, and were very
wild and very hard to discover after
daylight.but the best hunters found and
killed them sometimes. They found In
the hanging rocks a species of honey
bee that built their comb and filled
them with a honey that looked like,
lard, and *was very palatable, but was
always candied. They brought this
honey home for their families to eat in
deerskins, that are now termed ease
hides. After filling up the hides with
honey they were basted with the tendons of a deer's back and were handily
brought home on a broncho. After
the return of the hunters there was a
grand powwow.
"The Creek squaw can make a bread
that will remain, sweet and sound for
six months. This is how it is made:
They take ordinary corn, pound it in
the ordinary way. Instead of sprinkling the corn with water they sprinkle
It with lye; after being pounded into
fine meal it is mixed with wood ashes
instead of baking powder. This is
baked in a skillet in little rings, each
weighing four ounces. Whtn it will
stand any amount of rough handling
and the inclemency of the weather has
no effect on this bread, cold or hot.
This bread after six months can be put
Into a camp kettle; and a little water
added, and when It becomes soaked
makes a very good and wholesome
bread. The lye seems to preserve the
bread through any and all kinds ot
weather, and it is this kind of bread
that the Indians take along when they
go on a long journey or take a long
hunt"

The Poles who inhabit the province
of Posen, a part of the former kingdom of Poland, wish to maintain the
public use oi their language, hut the
authorities dc net approve of their desire. Hitherto those Poles ignorant of
the German tongue addressed letters
and parcels to their friends in their
gWil "language. This has now been
strictly forbidden. The chief postmaster for the district of Posen has giyen
orders to all postoflices and postal
agencies in his district that no mail
shall in future be accepted, forwarded
or delivered which bears as its address an inscription in the Polish language. By, way of explanation he adds
that the postal service is not merely a
public servant, hut has also national

A Toail In a Bowlder. _
A remarkable flint bowlder has been
discovered at Lewes, Eng., and Is now
in the possession of Charles Dawson,
F. G. S., of TJckfield. In a cavity within
the bowlder was found a full-grown
toad, which must, when young, have
entered the hole in the stone hy a small
aperture. There the unfortunate prisoner waxed to adolescence, ant} probably he may have died of chagrin on
finding that he had delayed his exit too
long, for the hole afterward became
silted up. The bowlder, which is shown
in section and also with the pieces replaced, was exhibited at the last meeting of the Linnaeau Society, and is
eventually to be placed in Henry Wll-
lett's collection at the Brighton Museum.
NATIONAL BANKS.
* It is held by the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Comptroller of the
Currency that our National Banking
laws cannot be extended to the Philippines without a special act of Congress.
Consequently all applications for charters for national banks in the Philippines, a number of which have been
received, are pigeonholed lo await the
action of Congress, although it is
generally admitted that the establishment of national banks in the Philippines would be a great convenience for
this government as well as for all
Americans who are over there or have
business interests there.

PANAMA RAILROAD.
The revolutionists iu Columbia having delayed a passenger train on the
Panama Railroad, which is neutralized
by a treaty between the U. S. and
Colombia, the TJ. S. S. Machias has
been ordered to Colon, the eastern terminus of that road, to look after American interests. No serious trouble is
anticipated, but it was deemed advisable to have a warship in that vicinity
as a warning that our interests must
not be meddled with.
HUNTINO MAHOGANY TREES.
Tk<i I* a   Difficult   Calling   and   Brings
Good Wages.
The mahogany hunter is the most
important and- best paid laborer in the
Central and South American service,
for upon his skill and activity largely
depends the success of the season. The
trees do not grow in groups, but are
scattered promiscuously through the
forest and hidden in the dense growth
of underbrush, vines and creepers, and
it requires skillful and experienced
woodsmen to find them. To fell a
large mahogany tree is one day's task
for two men. On account of the thornlike spurs which project from the
trunk at its "base, scaffolds are erected
and the tree cut off above these protuberances, which leaves a stump from
10 to 15 feet high, thus wasting the
best part of the tree. After trimming
the tree of its branches it is hauled by
means of a crude truck with oxen as
motive power, to the bank of the river.
There the logs are collected and made
ready for the floods. On the longest
rivers these begin in June and July
and on .others in October and November. The logs are turned adrift and
when they reach tidewater are caught
by means of Dooms. From the boom
the logs are taken to the "embarca-
dero" and prepared for .shipment. . A
tree makes from two to five logs, measuring ten to eighteen feet in length and
from twenty to twenty-four inches in
diameter after heing hewed. There is
a great range in the value of mahogany
timber. The poor grade of short stock
may sell as low as 50 cents for 1,000
feet, while fancy material, used in the
manufacture of tops of counters, may
be worth $3.50 for 1,000 feet, or even
higher. Previous to the war in Cuba
much mahogany -was shipped from the
island to the United States, and the
trade has been reviving within the last
two years. The finest quality from
this source is called the "San Jago"
and is used in the manufacture of
fancy furniture and for the interior
work o* houses. The price of this variety, made on an inch basis, ranges
from $140 to ?165 for 1,000 feet—New
York Press.

This sweeping o'f the elephant's back

anybody sweep an elephant. Yet
sweeping the elephants is in all shows
a regular part of the duty of the keeper. If the show gives a street parade,
the last thing done before the elephants come out into public view is to
sweep them off. It is just so at the
