INDIAN HUNTERS OF WEST
—
Primitive Red Men of California Killed
for Food Only and Never Slaugh*
tered Game for Market.
The bows of primitive California
Indian hunters were made of moun
tain ash, willow and elder, and the
arrows of carriso reeds which are
found in damp places on the desert,
says the Southern Workman. The
reed to be straightened is heated and
run through grooves in a stone. For
hunting small game a pointed piece
of chamise wood, hardened in fire, is
fastened into one end of the reed
with a glue which is drawn from the
pith of the same wood. This glue is
also used to fasten the feather barks
at the opposite end. Stone arrow
heads were used for big game and in
war. They were roughly shaped out
first, then their points and edges
sharpened by striking them against
a piece of deer horn which was bound
to the fingers of the left hand. To
make five or six arrowheads was a
good day’s work.
In those days each tribe had its
own game laws and game preserves.
The Indians forbade trespassing by
the members of other tribes, and
punished offenders severely whenever
they caught them. They killed for
food, sparing the buck in the breed
ing season and shooting the doe only
in case of dire necessity. As a con
sequence game was plentiful and the
white man is blamed for its deple
tion. The Indian never slaughtered
for the market; the white man did
and exterminated many valuable
species of fauna.

KEEPING SPIRIT OF YOUTH
Upon Its Preservation Depends Large
ly All Achievements of Man'in His
Later Life.
Later life is largely the working
out of the visions and the enthusiasm
which comes to us in youth. For
youth is not only the beginning,
but the perennial spring of all our
faculties.
The real test of the man is not:
How much skill has he? But how
much youth abides in his soul?
Whether the long stretches of mid
dle life, under the heat of the sun
and the burden of the day, shall be
a monotonous and barren plain, or
blossoms as a garden continually
freshened by crystal waters, depends
upon the depth and volume of the
springs of youth.
There are men of few years but
great age. We have all seen them
—these old men of thirty or forty,
who have fingered the fringe of life
with the tips of their idle hands and
imagine they are sated, worn-out
men of the world. They have ex
hausted, as they believe, all of life,e
resources, pud for them the years
hold nothing but monotony and
weari ness. N onentities.—Christian
Herald.
OLD CANAL BOATS GO.
Under a recent edict of the New
York legislature the horse and the
mule as a motive power on the Erie
canal will give way to motor-driven
tugs. For 80 years the motive power
has been entirely by mules and
horses. With the country at war and
a desire to move freight rapidly and
relieve the railroads, it was decided
to make the change.
