IsOLATED INDIAN TRIBES,
People Who KNOW Nothing of the World
Beyond Thetr Own Frrritc.y.

Besond Thstr Own rrrritcEy.
A writer in the New York Sun tella Of
Q people who have no knowledge OF snv
part OF the world except that which
they .n5ebiG. The great table lands Ct
Matte Gross, in The westean part Of
B!ezJ, is still one OF tae least known
portions Of South America. When Dr.
Cisussi.I d DR.. Won denIS,einen penetrate d
i! seVeTnt years ago, and followed the
large NlDgu river from lis
head waters TO the Amszln, they
foeted down about 1000 miles b fore they
reached the known portion of the river.
Tley did not have time to adequs.elY
study the strange and uuheard-of Ipdis1
tribss amid these dense forests an bsr-
rem Uplaads, and for the purpose Of max
ing further researches Smorg them DR.
Won den Steinsn returned to the upper
Nlngu Iset year. He visited the villages
OF nine OF these tribss, and in recent
lecture IN Rio de Janeiro he gsve ths IN
rsst rg results Of his studies.
There is hardly q corner OF the earth
whose people have not had Some inkliug
OF the grea. world beyond them. But
these primitive natives CT the upper
1ineu mad, apparently, never seen scrap
OF trade goods O; heard that human
oelrgs existed outside their little circle
Of observation. They use NO metal i'm
PIGMENTS, but fell trees with stone axes
to clesr the ground for their plantations
OF Indian corr, cotton and tobacco.
Wearing shell ornaments, they use
hammers and nails OF stone 70 perforste
them. They make kuivea out of SMELLS
AMI the shsrp teeth CT certaln tlsh, and
with these poor tools they carve their
rudely ornsm MED too,s and weapons.
Dogs ard fowls ere found in sll parts
Of the Amsz7n vsl!ey that have been
visited by trsders, but these Yingu
tribes have never heard of them, Neither
have they sry knowledge Of the oansrs,
sugsr cane sDd rice, with which natives
OF the tropical Z)pe are geneT silly
familiar. They have not the slightest
conception OF God, but they believe they
will again live after death. Their most
important myth reiates to the creation of
the world, which, in their view, consists
wholly Of the besdweters Of the Upper
Xingu and Taps IS rivers.
From the languages and pottery of sill but
one OF these tribes the explorer derived
the ides that these isolated peoples are
allied TO the original stock CT the once
powerful CARDS, who journeyed from Il e
south to the SEES. One tribe
differed so greatly frcm all others that be
was unable 10 trsce its relation to any
other people. These people sre almsst
wholly isolsted even from escn other,
end their Languages, though OF the
same derivation, are 80 dissimilar that
the tribes cannot understand each other.
Few people exist to-day who are so
primitive in their ideas and 80 low In
the socisl scale IS these new-found In
dams CT South America.

ARGUING THE TARIFF.

in "horse-back''-a fault or deficiency"
in the stratum. The coal gotten from
these horse-backs is called scrub" or
slow" coal. These various terms are ap-
piled when the stratum contracts below
three feet four inches in hight Time
was when wages of workers in horse backs
were adequately increased. In some of the
mines an extra allowance is made at the
rate of . cents per three inches of decrease
below three feet four inches. This pro-
vision is so inadequate, however, that the
very best workman in the best low
coal cannot make $3.50 per day.
But in most, by far the most, of the
mines, deficiencies are not paid for beyond
the usual rates. The workman is simply
told that there is good coal on the other
side, and If he will work long enough and
hard enough he will reach it. To appre-
ciate the difficulty of working in "horse-
back" or even in standard hight coal,
just you try swinging pick horizontally
while your body is either prone or bent
into a semi-circle.
Extra pay for deficiencies is only one of
the particulars in which the miners con-
dition fifteen years ago was better than it
is now. The most notable difference is in
the difficulty with which the coal is
mined. The labor required to mine three
tons fifteen years ago would now not mine
more than two and one-quarter. And
not only this, but the increased difficulty
of getting out the coal has necessitated
the purchase by most of the miners of q
drilling machine and other tools which
range in price from So to S25. Each
workman is seen to have his keg OF
blasting powder handy. This he must
buy, we'll his drilling machine. A
miner in ordinary work will use about
two kegs a month, for each of which he
now pays 8. In the earlier times the
worker in a coal bank need only to supply
himself with picks and shovels. and with
sledge and wedge.
Altogether, after three or four hours in
one OF Watson d Titles mines, The SEN
rINEL representative was quite prepared
to listen to the parting injunction OF one
of the workers in the horseback: :"
think twice before you ever 90 into a
coal mine TO work" For, by this time
there was nothing in the appearance of
the reporter to disabuse the miner of the
impression that his questions were
prompted by desire for getting work in
the bank.
''Well, if you are so sure that n coal
mine is poor place TO earn a living, why
don't you get out and 60 at something
else ?"
"Oh, I don't know. Somehow it is
once a miner, always miner. We get so
used to working down here and seeing
nothing of the world outside that we
don't think we could go at anything else
Perhaps it is wrong notion, but we all
feel that way, and so drudge along living
and dying in a coal bank"

THE CLAY COUNTY MINERS.
OPERATORS, NoTMINERs, PROTECTED
Shaving For Dollar and Twelve Cents Per
Day-Robbed by the "Piuck-Mes"-
Operators, Transporter, Capital
lists, Merchandisers Combined.

When the Clay county miners visited
Gen. Harrison six weeks ago, he said to
them: ''These men who have toiled at
wages in other lands that barely sustained
life and opened no avenue OF promise TO
pthem or their children know the good
land of hope as well as the swallow knows
the land of summer What,
after all, is the best evidence of a nations
prosperity and the best guarantee OF social
order. if it is not an intelligent, thrifty,
} contented working class? Can we look
for contentment if the workman is only
able to supply his daily necessities by his
daily toll, but is not able in the ugor of
youth to lay up store against old age"
SENTINEL representatives recently visited
this land OF hope for the miners. 1t con-
tains larger area of block coal, and a
larger number of miners than any other
N.county in Indiana The workmen were
found to be generally intelligent and
thrifty, but contented rarely. They are
toiling in no part for the future, but alto
gether for the necessities of a burdened
present. If, as Gen. Harrison further
said, "a condition of things that compels
the laborer to contemplate want, as an
incident OF sickness or disability, is one
that tends to social disorder"-if, this is
true, then the tendency among these
miners should pre-eminently be toward
social disorder. This assertion that the
life OF the Clay county miner is, for the
most part, controlled by grinding neces-
sity and is not influenced by hope,is to be
substantiated. 1t is not given as an inn
proved generality, like the statements OF
one Edward Wilton, Clay county citizen,
to the effect that the miner ain the United
States gets double what he does in En-
gland" and 'can live almost, if not quite
as cheaply."
1t will be well to follow the miner, as
did THE SENTINEL representatives, from
the time he goes down into the bank in
the morning until he sleeps preparatory
TO going down again-to see how he wo rks,
what he gets, how he spends tin short,
how he lives.
