Time, with all its mutations, has no! taken one jot from its popularity, and should the world stand for a million years longer and you were able to come back and visit the inhabitants of this sphere at that time, you would find the oyster still holdn^g the .position of honor at alhfeasts dur„ ing its season. Realizing the staying power of the oyster and the allround enjoy¬ ment and pleasure to be derived from a plate of fried oysters, a bowl of stew, or a dozen raw, the Red Men will make it the leading item for its bill of fare next Tuesday evening. The committee in (charge of the arrangements lor the supper have prepared an appetiz¬ ing menu, and the “Indians” will have a feast that will be remmem- ;bered a long lime to come.

I refer to the simon pure aboriginee, taken as his great spirit made him in the full-blown purity and origi¬ nality of his forest home. JJThere he stood, a Caesar of the wilder¬ ness—afraid of nothing that walk¬ ed. True to his tribe, as the need¬ le to the pole. An embodiment of fortune. He could hold his hand in the flame and see it burned to a crisp cle/ without the quiver of a mus¬ These were the people among whom the celebrated writer on the North American Indian traveled, and about whom he said : “I have roamed about for some seven or eight years, and visited under an almost infinite variety of circum¬ stances, some three or four hun¬ dred thousand red men, and I feel bound to say that the Indians are. by nature, a kind and hospitable people. No red man ever struck me a blow or took from me a far¬ thing’s worth in value.” A similar amount of travel at present time among the conquerors ol the red men would hardly re. ceive the same encomium. Taken as nature made him, free from the effects of the corrupting and avaricious outbursts of civili- zation, the red man developed h noble character, through which nature herself seemed to speak. Such was the new man to whom our forefathers were introduced, and when they desired a character to typify freedom they chose the red man, just as they chose his feathered fellow, the eagle, as a symbol of freedom. So they dress¬ ed themselve in the red man’s leg- gins and feathers — true forest “Good WHt <o All Men.’ clothes—and went*ilown to Boston harbor, tossed Hie* tea over to the fished disced a war dance on Bri¬ tish deckt, s uttered a proud defi- M "" ance and returned home to await the guns of Bunker Hill. The colonist of that day was a farmer. Tall, erect, healthy. He married early, and at twenty-five was the head of a farm and family. His education wias limited, but he was well acquainted with the stories of Joseph, of Daniel, of David, and the sermon on the Mount. ' He was reasonable, and knew that the. government must be supported, and willingly paid his tar. But one day parliment pass¬ ed an act taxing everything in the colonies from marriages to ships, Then he raved! \Vhen a country full of this kincLof people makes up its mind to risist, “Somebody is going to get hurt.” In Philadelphia and-Boston they climbed into Jthe towers and, cov- ering the bells with cloth, tolled them in the muffled notes of funeral peals, and mournfully said, “Liberty is dead.” In New York a copy of the act was nailed to a skull.and follow¬ ed through the streets by crowds chanting “The folly of.England and the ruin of Ameiica.” At Exeter the t ’. " .A '*>. ,* sheriff was driven off with clubs and Jthe farmers* wives kept the pots full of boiling water and made no secret of their intention of scalding the kill’s of¬ ficers if they attempted to levy up¬ on the household goods. The universality of the discon¬ tent led the people together for mutual council. The hardy mal¬ contents recognized the. necessity of organization. But what kind? How? What name? They again turned to the forest, and chose the red man for a model. They assum¬ ed a tribal organization, oath- bound and secret, and baptized it with the name “Sons of Liberty,” soon to be changed into the name of the greatest of all red men, “St. Tamina.” From this it was but a short step to the present title. So we see that this order per¬ petuates, in the name of liberty, the freedom and the virtues of a race almost forgotten, never under¬ stood, always unappreciated.* We propose to rescue it from the slime of the dime novel and present it to posterity with a name as fair as the silvery resplendence of the spread wings of its totem—the eagle.—John C.

Tucker, a mining prospector who has just returned from a trip through the Mojave and Colorado deserts, tells a remarkable story of the biscovery of a petrified man and burro in one of the large salt fields that abound there. He told the story as follows to a Gazette correspondent: “One of the most desolate places in the Colorado Desert is thiriy-two miles southeast of Danby. Here is a large desposit of rock salt 15 miles in length and from i£ to 3 miles in width. There is not a spear of gra. or any kind of veg¬ etation. In many places the rock salt crops out of the earth, and anywhere in this section rock salt can be obtained by digging ten or twelve inches. No one knows how beep the salt goes. A number of prospect holes have been sunk, but the great amount of water en¬ countered at a depth of twenty- five or thirty teet makes further miuitig impossible without appara¬ tus for pumping. “Some ten years ago an effort was made to bring these immense deposit of salt into commercial use. Two railroads weie built to con¬ nect the rock quarries with the Santa Fe. It was found necessary to bliild a house in the middle of the deposit, and for this purpose enough blocks of rock salt were cut to build the shanty 14 by 30 feet in dimentions. A floring aud roof composed of the peouliar kind of earth that exists in that vicinity completed the building This salt house, or as the Mexicans called it, ‘La Casa del Sal was used for the purpose for which i? was erected. But in a short time the salt mining operators were discontinued, and the salt house was abandoned to the coyote and desert owl. “For at least seven years before we visit this building, about a month ago, it has not been inhabi¬ ted, and probably very seldom seen by any one. During the summer months in this locality fine saline dust is blown in great clouds through the desert, The heat is almost unbearable, What water is found is undrinkable, and woe to the prospector who finds himself in this section with an empty can— teen. A peculiar feature of the climate is that, no matter bow hot the. day, the night is invurably cool, even cool enough for forming ice. No. 4I “During the summer of 1900 a Swede name Johnson,who had been prospecting in the vicinity, started to cross this dry lake of salt at Old Woman’s Spring. When nearly half way across a terrible sand¬ storm blew up. He trudged on un¬ til he came to the salt house* where he and his burro sought shelter. “Under the eaves of the house he found a number of galvanized tanks partly filled with rain water. He considered this a lucky find,for his canteen was almost empty. He drank his fill of the waterhefouud and permitted his burro to do the same. “The night wrs cold and the storm continued. He determined to c imp in the hut over night. The dead embers of the fire were Still to be seen when we visited the place, evidencing the unusual se¬ verity of the weather. • « When we opened the < door to desolate shack we were horri¬ fied at the seeing what seemed to be a marble statute lying on the floor. The head was of alabaster Whiteness, the hair and whiskers having fallen away. The body was outlined under a thin blanket. “The sight was so uncanny that we hesitated to remove the blanket but Anally mustered enough courage to do so. The body had undergone a singular transformation, being nothing less than complete petrifi¬ cation. The substance was of a nature of gypsum, very friable and and pure white in color. The outline of the body was perfect. “The darkness of the interior at first prevented us from seeing the buss which was standing in one corner. One of our party advanced and laid his hanb on the animal, when it fell over and against him. The burro had undergone the same transformation as its master. The body of the man was given a decent burial near the bouse, and the burro will be sent to the Smithsonian In¬ stitution. “The explanation of this strange phenomenon is to be found in the kind of water that was drunk by the man and the burro and in the kind of earth that composed the roof and floor of the salt habitation. The water is heavily charged with chloride for sodium. 4 The earth that had been used for the rocking contained chemicals -which were takenjin solution by the rain water as it dripped through into the - gal* vanized tank. “After drinking frdely of this water the man and his beast had evidently frozzen to death and were graduallp The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths.
