The attention of the department of In
dian affairs has been called to tho bar
barous practices of the Indians along the
west coast of northern British Columbia,
who, it appears, are still indulging in
cannibalism, supposed to have been long
ago given up. H. J. Simpson, a trader
who has spent 25 years in the vicinity of
Fort Ruperts, has just arrived here and
6tates that the Indians carry on their
dances with all their old time ferocity,
the only difference being that now they
aro careful to have their wildest orgies
only in the depth of winter, when the in
clemency of the season has practically
put a stop to trading and hunting and
has driven all white men, including mis
sionaries, to move to comfortable quar
ters.
So soon as they have the field to them
selves preparations are started for the
most disgusting orgies. Simpson, who,
having married a full blooded “Klootch-
man,” is what is known as a “squaw-
man,” has been specially favored or
trusted by being permitted to witness
some of these rites and gives a terri
ble description of what is known to the
Indians as a “man eater dance,” which
he witnessed a few months ago. In
this dance the manista, or chief char
acter, horrifies the spectators by appear
ing with a “mummy” or the shriveled
remains of a back number native, taken
from an eminence upon which it was
exposed to dry after death, and tearing
the shriveled flesh from the bones as he
dances about a huge log fire, all the
time uttering the most frightful sounds
in the Indian vocabulary of lamentations.
Simpson also lately saw the horrible
torture of a maiden in connection with
another dance, in which, to prove herself
worthy to be the bride of a brave chief
tain, she allowed great barbed hooks to
be driven through the flesh of her back
and danced almost naked, while the chief
held the reinB attached to the hooks and
by a series of wrenches eventually tore
the flesh apart and released them. Mis
sionaries have taken great credit through
out the civilized world for having con
verted these savages, and the govern
ment has been led to believe that the
dances now carried on are only imita
tions of former barbarity, but Simpson,
who is a reliable man, asserts that they
are no mockery at all, but a most revolt
ing and cruel reality.—Victoria (B. C.)
Special. ________________
The present financial stringency and 1
trouble with savings banks and other in
stitutions of deposit have suggested to
Senator Kyle of Dakota a postal savings
scheme. He is of the opinion that the
designation of certain postoffice3 in vari
ous parts of the country as receivers for
small deposits would be advantageous,
and a bill is now before the senate com
mittee on postoffices providing for the
details of euch a plan.
It is proposed to receive small deposits
at money order offices, for which inter
est at the rate of 2| per cent per annum
will be paid. The depositors will receive
stamps in denominations ranging from
10 cents to $1. These are to be kept as
securities by the depositor and are trans
ferable and redeemable on presentation
at any money order office, proofs of
course being required as to the identity
of the holder. Í he money thus accumu
lated by the government is to be loaned
to farmers on first mortgage security on
lands worth $5,000 and over at 4 per cent
interest.
The scheme is not wholly new or
wholly impracticable. Postal savings
banks are a regular feature of the Brit
ish and continental postal arrangements
of Europe. Mr. Wanamaker was a warm
advocate of the idea while he was post
master general. There is little doubt
but that some plan of making small de
posits through the postoflice would be
useful to persons far removed from sav
ings banks and other banking institu
tions. They would make the hoardings
of many people available in the interest
bearing funds. The banking project,
however, of loaning money to farmers
on real estate is a matter upon which a
difference of opinion might readily ex
ist. As a consequence it would be quite
necessary to discuss this feature of the
Kyle bill exhaustively.
It is to be hoped that a good working
postal savings scheme will be developed
in this country in the near future. While
it may not be needed to the degree that
it is in eome foreign countries, it would
undoubtedly prove a great public con
venience and an inducement to more
general saving among persons of small
income.—Baltimore Herald.

are kept in the central office in London,
and withdrawals are possible only after
sending notice there. The new arrange

perfect that depositors in the neighbor

at the branch postoffice within 40 min

Capable of Holding 20,000, and Yet No Hu

A party of archaeologists just returned

Dakota tell a thrilling story of the
abandoned city of West Lynne. The city
is desolate and going to decay. No
traffic goes on in its streets or business

walks, and trees and shrubbery flourish
ju the yards surrounding the residences,
but all is silence and loneliness.
The town is opposite Emerson, just
across the Manitoba line from St. Vin
cent There, on two sides of the Red
river and within an area of four square
miles, are four towns—Emerson, West
Lynne, Winston and Pembina.
The history of the place is one of the
romanoes of town building in the boom
period, when Winnipeg was the metrop
olis of the north. Some schemers, with
moro fertility than scruples, platted and
exploited a city on the river at a point
where they claimed the Great Northern
was to cross. Eastern capitalists were
becoming interested, and money was
plenty. There was no sham about the
actual construction of that town, but a
substantial reality.
A man named Murray of Chicago was

was the broker feature. Meantime build
ing was progressing.
No board shanties, wood walls nor
canvas shells, but handsome structures
of brick or lumber, thoroughly finished
in approved style, were erected, and to
day the town is a handsome but useless
monument to the credulity of some and
tho hardihood of others.
It has buildings which cost from $5, -

cost $200,000, and is capable of holding
a population of 20,000, and yet no hu

Why Some Men With a Pot of Money Are

“Interest!” exclaimed an official of

Every one of the 22 hook and ladder
trucks of the New York fire department
is now drawn by a team of three horses
driven abreast. The change from two
horse teams, which was begun in 1885,
was brought about naturally enough by
the increased weight to be carried. The
department had been adding for some
years previously a large number of life
saving implements and tools, and these
had finally weighted down the apparatus,
particularly the trucks carrying the life
saving implements, to such an extent as
to interfere with making time going to
fires. The first team to which a tliird
horse was added was that of truck 10 in
Fulton street. It proved so successful
that a third horse was added to all the
fire truck teams in the city.
There has also been added a third ¡
horse to the teams of the heavier
and to the teams of those engii
lie on the sides of hills or in the hilly dis
tricts of the city. About half of the
city’s engines are now drawn by three
horse teams, and all are provided with
equipments by which they are enabled to
use three horse teams in case of emergen
cy. With the city’s better water supply
and the use of heavier engines, the tend
ency in the department is toward three
horse teams for all engines. There are
now no one horse tenders in use except
in the double companies. A double com
pany is one provided with two complete
sets of apparatus—practically two com
panies in one. In the absence of the first
company the second company covers
the ground. These companies are all in
the crowded lower part of the city,
where the room is not sufficient for the
accommodation of four wheeled tenders
with two horse teams, but in all the
other companies four wheeled tenders
with two horse teams are now used.
Fire Chief Hugh Bonner says that the
use of the three horse teams is found ad
vantageous in every respect. It takes
perhaps two or three seconds more time
to hitch up a three horse team, but that
is much more than gained on the road,
and for long runs a three horse team can
keep up a good, steady gait and get a
company there on time. It takes more
skill and more strength to drive a three
horse team, but there is no difficulty in
finding in the department men who can
drive.
The great advantage of the three horse
team is that it gets the company there
quickly. An especial benefit following
their use is observable in winter. One
now rarely or never hears of a fire ap
paratus stuck going to a fire. The three
horse team goes right ahead through the
very worst going. The old spike team
was not of much service. It could not
compare with the team of three horses
driven abreast, all under the control of
the driver and each doing his full duty.
There has been in recent years a visi
ble increase in the number of three horse
teams driven abreast in business use.
There were in use in the city before 1885
a few fine three horse teams driven in
this fashion, but it is probable that the
greatly increased use of such teams in
recent years is to a considerable extent
due to the success attending their use in
the fire department.—New York Sun.

The editor of Natural Science (Eng

fling at the United States: “Strange are
the ways of the American place hunter,
and strange, as we have noted before, is
the system under which scientific ap

One of our transatlantic correspondents
complains that he has no time for scien

very busy, being engaged in politics, as I
am a candidate before the Republican
convention for the nomination of state
geologist and have the most flattering
prospects. My only opponent is a local
collector.’ As our friend might possibly
obtain the appointment, we have suffi
cient regard for his reputation to sup
press his name.”

A New Being Created!
Dear Sirs: If you could see the writer
of this letter and note the wonderful
change that has been effected in his case
by taking Dr. Grant’s Kidney and Liver
Cure, you ftould certainly lx? astonished.
I was a most wretched sufferer for three
years, trying all kinds of medicine and
getting no relief. The flow of urine was
very excessive. I was very constipated
and also covered with carbuncles, and
felt at war with myself and the world at
large; but, thanks to your wonderful
medicine, I felt as though I was a new
being, and I consider a wonderful cure
has been effected in my case.
With my best wishes for your further
Buecess, I remain
Y'ours respectfully,

Czar Alexander’s Diplomacy.
Russia needs peace in order to develop
her internal affairs. She entered into
relations with France not in order to
make war on Germany, but to form a
counterpoise to the triple alliance and
prevent France from embarking on a
policy of adventure which might have
dragged Russia against her will into
war. Now that Russia is sure of the pa
cific intentions of France, she is binding
Germany to her by ties of interest. Thus
she holds in her hands the policy of two
great nations which for nearly a quarter
of a century have maintained a hostile
attitude. If it is Alexander III who per
sonally directs the foreign policy of his
empire, it must be admitted that he is
endowed with admirable diplomatic re
sources, for the game has been played so
quietly and so surely as to be worthy the
eulogium of future historians.—Paris
