Their teeth, in amost every instance, are white
and small, romreXions rudy, showing through
dark fanny DIOR oi skim and features largo and
prominent. Considering their naturally nomndic
habits, they seem now rather lazy, for they lay
around on the ground rolled up in blankets near
the fires, con,ersng but little among themselves
and gnzingwith silent wonder upon the many we'll

simple toilet before the scraps Of looking glass,
which they seemed to prize very highly. They

turning it FROM side to side to side until done.
But few are tatooed, and those only about the
chin and under lip. The chiefs. however, are
more prominently marked about the breast and
arms. Many of the squaws have their infants with
them and Mr. Irving one Of the men who has
the tribe in charge, assured us that rine births
had taken place since they started from Tehama
