AN INDIAN'S TEST.
How IIO Discovered Tlmt ? Wlitt*
Klan Wa? n Coward.
"Tho Indian Las a queer woy of de
termining whether or not a man is
game, Judging from an experience f
hud some ycurg ngo," enid a lunn who
once made nn educational tour of the
west,' "aud the same little expcrlvuco
convinced me that the Indian's system
of reasoning along this hue is hy no
means a bad ono.
"Stories had been told which brought
about a clash between the Indian and
a white mau. The two men originuHy
had nothing agulust euch other. Tho
ludiun had a bad reputation-thut is,
be had the reputation of being n bad
mau, a desperate, dangerous fellow,
who would fight a buzzsuw at the drop
of a lint. Tho white niau who blew
into tlie section lind in some way
gained a similar reputation. Ile was
said to be a dangerous churncter and a
mun who had never been whipped. We
concluded that we would have some
fun. We met the Indian and told him
a lon;* story about his new rival and
reminded him that his laurels were in
danger and succeeded in getting his
pride stirred, and his Indian blood was
som up to thc fightlug point. Soou
after this wc met the while mun, aud
wc filled him up with thc same kind
of talk. He said he would take cure of
the Indian all right in due time, and.
in short, would make him take to the.
woods. Shortly we met the Indian
ngaln mid told him thc desperate white
mun wns nftcr his Bcnlp. Ile smiled
and shook his head.
"A few duys later we were talking
to tho white mau when tho Indian
came hp to Join thc group. He had
spotted the stranger and knew him by
light. Without saying a word to him
he walked up within arm's reach and
struck the while innn In the face with
n rough, heavy glove. Ile paused for a
few seconds und hit him nguiu. 'Ugh!'
he exclaimed ns he wheeled around
and walked away. The white man
looked at thc Indian in amazement, but
made DO show of resent men t. Lutcr in
tho day when we asked the 'Indian
why lt was that he did not follow up
tho insult with blows bc told us the
white man WUB a coward. In explain
ing how he knew lt he said the man's
'Jaw dropped' when he struck bim in
the face tho second time with the glove
and that this, with thc lud?an, was an
unfailing Blgn of cowardice."-New Or

Properties ot Cellulose.
Cellulose absorbs water and by its
swelling provides the softest possible
obstruction. On account of its low
specific gravity, less than that of cork,
lt is valuable for life belts and may be
used in large quantities to keep a seri
ously damaged ship afloat. Cellulose

does not decay for two or three years.
When penetrated by a projectile lt 1B

agreeable smoke, possessing in this re
spect a great advantage over rubber
armor. If dry, loose celluloso be ignit

It would bo almost impossible to eaq

thc names'were derived no one seems
to be able to determino. Som o wero
onmed for early inhabitants squatting
thereon aud getting a llvlug from tho
?ea, others from incidents that have
taken place to Bullors and fishermen
who have been their visitors.
Rutherford's island was named from
thc Grut minister who established a
pariah in Bristol, and owing to bia sal
ary, which was in arrears, tho town
gavo him a title to thc entire island.
Heron island WOB up to recent years
the home of a vast number of these
birds, which came annually and mada
their nests in the top of the tall pines
and spruces which lined the shores.
Ram island was once the home of a
fighting buck which disputed the right
of any ono to lnnd there. Flshhawk
island was once thc favorite resting
place of these keen eyed foragers of
the Bea.
Devil's Iamb, Devil's Rock and Dev
