' "Loek out for that rati" na the excla
mation of a piano tuner te a reporter, a
,'faw days age, as ha stoe4 watching him
take a piano te pieces. The words had
barely been said when a large, lean rat
Jumped out of the instrument and scam
pared across the room and out of an open
deer. While he was dexterously remov
ing the rat's nest from Inside the piano
the reporter asked If rats were usually
part and parcel of pianos. The tuner re
marked that while probably two-thirds of
the Instruments in residences wero free
from the rodents, the ether third were in
fested with theut, at least that had been
his experience during twenty years of his
life. Theso in the country, especially in
well te de farmers' hevScs, were gener
ally inhabited by rats, and in dozens of
cases fully half a bushel of small scraps
of paper that had been carried there by
the pests had been discovered. The paper
and the nests were net se bad, but rats
rery frequently did the instrument much
damage. Rats play havoe with the felts
In the action, and he had repaired pianos
where the felts had all been eaten away.
Occasionally a hungry rat is discovered
that shows light, and the wielding of a
broomstick, with the accompanying
screaming by the women folk, Is neces
sary te get rid of the animal.
Children oftentimes cause planea te tret
,out of order, but while the trouble caused
by them is usually quickly repaired tnere
are times when they de mere damage than
rats. Left alone in the room with an open
instrument the spirit of mischief comes
ever them, and a cane or a book is poked
in under or among the strings. Tbe
owner returns te play en the piano, and
then finds it at sixes and sevens. As
everything was all right but a few min
utes before the cauae of the treuble can
not be understood, and then there is
bluster about the house. Should the
piano be a new ene the maker Is blamed,
the instrument is condemned, and a sharp
letter is forwarded te the Bcller. The re-
rairer with fear and trembling hnstens te
he scene-, the trouble is found, and after
apologies, the whipping of the small boy
who did the mischief, and the payment of
the bill for repairs, the piano is left te its
fate.
WHKIIB TITK MONEY 00E8.
Picking up a five cent plece lying en the
action, the tuner said: "Hore is something,
tee, I find as well as rats' nests and the
work of children. Te be sure money Is
net found frequently, especially in any
considerable amount, but tbe finding of
two fat pocketbooks and a ten dollar geld
plece I will never forget. The geld had
been placed in the piano for safe keeping
by a young lady, and Its hiding place for
gotten, and my finding it, of course,
made the owner happy. The bringing te
light of one of the pocketbooks made me
$60 richer, that being a present from its
loser. It had been missing for a year,
and contained $C00. Detectives had'been
hunting for thieves who, it was supposed,
had stolen the money. The discovery of
the pocketbook brought back the recol
lection that it had been laid en the top
lid of an upright piano, aud that it had
no doubt fallen lu the inside, where I had
found it.
"Instead of getting a reward I came
near being arrested, and perhaps sen
tenced te a term of imprisonment for
finding the purse. Its contents were ever
$200, and like the ether one, having been
carelessly left en top of the instrument,
it fell instde. Doing missed while I was
in the heuse, and the owner of the money,
a country justice, remembering where he
had'laid it, suspicion rested en me as the
one who had taken It. When I remarked
'the mysterious actions of the justice, his
wife and two daughters, he told me of his
less and what he suspected, and threatened
'my-arrcst unless the money was immedi
ately produced. It was a bad predicament
te be In, and what te de puzzled me. The
finding of the ether pocketbook fiashed
across my mind. I suggested a search in
the Interior of the piano, and there it was
found te my joy. The old man took it
without as much as saying 'Thank you,'
and te this day 1 think he holds the
opinion that I hid it away in the piano."

"Bagging at the knees is a matter, I

"Your tailor or your furnisher has no

take off their coat and waistcoat, threw
them into a chair, remeve their trousers,

Is all wrong. A man's underclothing Is
always a little damp, even In winter. The
coat and walstceast at the bottom, the
trousers between them and the under

DIGGER INDIANS:
CEREMONIES AT THE FUNERAL OF
A MEDICINE MAN.

The 'Treacher's" Sermon.
When all were gathered at the hut of

ceased, and proceeded te born his hut, his
wagon and all his household furnishings.
There seemed te be a great deal of alter
cation accompanying the performance of
this wasteful religious duty. When the
excitement was ever the women went en
walling, while the young bucks went off
te have a geed time, sheeting at marks
and performing various feats of strength.
It is the custom of the Indians te bury
their dead at sunset, and the funeral
precession started from the Big Spring
only in time te reach the burying ground
at that time. There was no dlscemlble
order te the cortege as it passed along the
read for six miles, group after group going
by us in much the same fashion as in the
morning. There was no scparate convey cenvey convey
ance for the cerpse; it was put in the bot
tom of a wagon, even tipped up a little
n one slde te make-room for the mahsla,
who squatted beside it, walling and sway
ing her body back and forth.
The Indian burial ground is a mound
en the lower end of the valley called Big
Meadows, en the north fork of the Feather
river. It cevers scarcely an acre of
ground, and juts out abruptly Inte the
valley, with a background of weeded
mountain, and before it groan stretches
of the meadow land, with its winding
river. Here their dead have been buried
ever slnce the first habitation of the
country, and although the land is private
property it will probably always be left
te the undisturbed possession of the
Indians.
BCKSB AT THE GRAVE.
Here a very deep and long grave had
been dug, much larger than would be
made for a whlte man, for it was te con
tain net only the corpse, but all of the
personal effects which had net been
burned, no was a medlcine man, and
was considered worthy of a coffin, and
when the funeral precession arrived at
the grave a well made plne coffin, manu
factured by a local carpenter, arrived
from an oppeslto direction. The body
was placed In it without removing the
gray blanket covering the face But the
right hand was extricated from its cover
ing and all the men passed by it in line
and shook-hands with the medicine man.
Some gave the, cold hand a hearty grip,
but the touch it. ethers was noticeably
gingerly. Then the hand was covered
again, and a. young fellow dressed In a
ivery stylish custom made cult of black
jtoefc his place at the -feet of the coffin,
.solemnly wound a small nickel plated
alarm clock, set the alarm and placed it
within1 the ceffia at the dead maa'sfoet.
The lid was closed, and the wemca gath
ered around, rapping the coffin with their
knuckles, passing their hands up and
down ever it, howling and meaning all
the tlme.
The grave was lined with new rush
baskets, split up the sides and spread out
flat, and upon this carpet the coffin, with
much difficulty and many experiments,
was safely deposited. Then the walls
grew louder, and always the voices of the
women were heard above the rest. It is
Impossible- te describe that walling.. It was
net concerted; evcry ene boomed te be
acting independently of the ethers; there
was no attempt at tune, but ovcry-new
and then the musical voice of a young girl,
clear and high pitched, would lead In a
sort of cadence, and the heavier voices
joined in an incoherent dull cry. The
women swayed their bodies from slde -te
side, waving in the air little' tufts of
cedar which they tossed into the grave.
But in all this there was very HttlA sign
of real emotion. The young girls would
smile and simper and duck their heads if
they met the gare of any of the whlte
bystanders. Only ene of the women shed
any tears, and she was the sister of the

lug behind, a big whlte handkerchief.
A COinCAX. OBJECT. .
There steed beside her an old buck, a
most comical looking object, whose long
locks wcre surmounted by a jaunty whlte
straw hat, and whose bony figure was
radiant In a red flannel miner's shirt and
a pair of ragged gray trousers. He was
"a Idnd of a preacher," ene of the Indians
said, and his loud vociferation and violent
gestures wcre the only oulegios which
wcre te conselo the mourners and de
honor te the virtues of the deceased. Fer
he was the only medlcine.man in this part
of California, and his death left the tribe
unprotected against the ravages of rheu
matism and consumption. We could net
understand the Indian language, but a
sturdy farmer's son by our slde who has
picked up some of their vocabulary trans
lated for us what the preacher was say
ing: "Iniitt doctor geno new; all In j Ins
die. Sick here, here, here (pointing te
head, lungs and heart). Die, die, never
get well. Baby sick, no medlcine, na get
any hotter, pretty seen die." Then the
mahalas, with their papooses en their
backs, walled louder, and the babies joined
In the cry, and tried in vain te fight away
the flics with thelr little fists. The
preacher talked en at intervals, describing
the destitution of the tribe, and. the skill
and goodness of the departed doctor. Twe
blind mahalas steed en the edge of tbe
grave, and every new and then had te be
held back,from slipping Inte the liole.
Finally the preacher laid the dead man's

of the coffin, and two large fur robes.

selection of articles, for a loud volce of
