Though Incidence is characteristic of In
dian nature, they are as constant and ener-
getic in the employments that occupy their
minds and their hands and feet as most civ
ilized peoples. All the plains tribes delighted
in the chase during the times when large
herds of buffaloes and wild horses were
everywhere to be found upon the plains; but
of all these tribes the Comanches excelled.
They were the most successful of any in kill
ing game, and the most skillful horsemen in
the world Though energetic and skillful,
however, these tribes have been kept by their
absolute dependence for centuries upon the
buffalo for food and raiment from making
much progress. Their knowledge of the
mechanical and industrial arts was limited
to the preparation and preservation of meats
and skins, and the making of arms and
equipments necessary for war and the chase.
| Their symbols represent only the most
commonplace ideas, and even in these they
are so far from having any particular Oh
fixed system that the hieroglyphics of one In
dian cannot be read or understood by an
other, even of the same tribe, when they arr

ploits and achievements, though their knowl
edge of drawing and painting is primitiv
ond limited to very simple ideas.-JesSe Ed

II the trade in books was limited to those

the titles; some people buy standard works
because they think their library shelves
ought to contain them. Many people are in.
duced to buy books for the titles only They
read the opening chapters and lay then
