AMONG THE ZUNIs.
Adventures of a man who is Making a
 Study of a Queer Race.

a a
 Study of a Queer Race.
 ,- From the San Francisco Post.l
 The stories that are told of Cushing, who is now in New Mexico making 8 study of Zuni traditions, are quite romantic. met last night gentleman who has just returned from visit to Cushing. He says: ssYou know when Cushing went down to New Mexico first he attempted to make a study of the Zunis, but found out that he could make no progress with them unless he him. self turned an Indian. Gushing addressed himself to this task with his usual zeal and after short time the transmegriacation was complete. He tells me that the Zunis have hut in which they keep the scalps of their enemies, and as long as this hut has certain number of scalps the Zunis say that the god of war is satisfied, and that he does not want war. But unfortunately for the peace of the Zunis the hut, which was built on the banks of the river, was swept away by a sudden flood. The Zunis were desperate. There were no scalps, and the god of war demanded at least two to avert an outbreak. Gushing saw 8 chance to prevent this war. He tele- graphed for two scalps, which he knew to be in Washington, and which arrived in due time. The Zunis were still in great agitation when the two scalps arrived. Cushing for m81lY Dr666QG6Q Ll0m to the Cul0I pr1SSb, 8I0 the war was averted. When the chief priest and the other priests had recovered from their surprise they began to think that Cush- ing was man who could accomplish any wonder. They looked upon him as 8 god, and nothing being too good for hia, they immediately admitted him into the priest hood, and he is now one of their head priests. This securing of the sealps turned out more fortunate for Cushing than one would at first suppose For it saved him from matrimony. So pleased were the Zunis with Cushing that they had determined to find for him wife, A stout Zuni maiden was found for him, and Cushing wes told to prepare for his marriage Needless to say that Gushing did not relish this proposition, and he fought against the coming of the evil day. He would have surely been married had it not been for the opportune arrival of these scalps, and his being made priest excluded him from mar | riage. Cushing has not as yet made public ! eny reseaches, and it will probably be some | time before he does. The money that hrs ! been given him for this important work has been subscribed by a very enthusiastic lady, l who has set no limit upon his time. Cush- ' ing was lately on visit to this city, and he i said that he traced a relationship between | the Chinese signs and the Zuni signs; end in fact he said that the only part of \ San Francisco which interested him was l Chinatown, and he spent most of his time | there.

DOGS AT WORK,
How They Are Used in the Manufac-
 ture of Br0oms.

tufe or BrO0mss
 Dow Il on Liberty street is broom factory, says the Baltimore News. The top story is where they make brooms. The straw is sorted, tied into wisps, combined into bun- dies, attached to a stick, wound by an appa- ratus like turning lathe, sewed and there you have broom in the rough. It is still iuu of straw seed and must be cleansed. That is where dogs come in. First there is a small al 1m about two feet long and foot in diameter, fitted lengthwise with eight rows of blunt teeth 6 couple of inches long. This is connected by 8 belt to large wooden wheel perhaps six feet in diameter and two feet in thickness, which revolves upon a hor- izontal axis. The inner surface of the wheel is fitted with cleats at intervals of six inches or so and the sides of the wheel are inclosed by bars close enough together to keep the dogs from falling out. In this, when any brooms are to be cleaned, Rover and Nellie are hustled. They stand at the bottom of the wheel of course, with their nose pointing in the same direction, the wheel is started by
 the workmen in charge and away go the two dogs. 'fGit up, Rover!" "Go along, Nelliel"
 and they galloped up the inside of that wheel
 as though they were after big, fat dinner.
 Away goes the wheel and the belt and the
 drum, broom is laid across the drum, the steel teeth comb out the straw eeed in two
 seconds; another broom goes on; and so on
 until the pile of new brooms is exhausted
 "Whoa, there!" and the brutes slow down
 carefully, being carried half way around
 backward before the apparatus comes to 8
 standstill. Nellie is 8 stout Newfoundland
 and Rover a black hound. They were trained in a short time without bit of trouble, 1t is said, and they sesm to like the work about as well as professional pedestrians do theirs. It would be neat problem to calculate how many miles Rover and Nellie travel in six days.

A Word About Gatarrh.

Tt is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semiiuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages that Catarrh makes its stronghold, Once established it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but long drawn breath of misery and disease. dulling ths senss of hearing, trammellng the power of speech, destroying the faculty of sme tanting the breath and killing the refined pleasures of taste Insidiously, by creeping on from simple cold in the head. it assaults the membraneous lining and envelops the bones eating through the delicate coats and causing inflamma- ton. sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will health to the patient and all alleviatives simply procrastinated sufferings, leading to fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure by Inhalation and by Internal administration, has never failed; even when the disease has made frightfu nroads delicate constitutions hearing. smell and taste have been recovered and the disease thoroughly driven out"
 Sanfofdns Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent, and one Improved Inhaler, neatly wrapped in one package, with full directions; price $1.00.

The Negro Losing His Rirthmarks. From the Atlanta Copstitution1

The negro Is changing in appearance and losing some of the birthmsrks peculiar to the Aflican race. The new generation is showing the effects of higher culture. Es- pecially is this noticeable in the towns where contact with the whites shows it's effect. The hst-nosed, kinky headed negro is passing away and becoming an unknown race. All the colored children, no matter how dusky in hue, show the change. Among the fe- males long hair of that peculiar woolly ap- pearance hangs in long braids or curls down their backs. Aouiline noses and smaller mouths with thinner lips are the rule. For years, and in fact ever since their freedom, the negresses have endeavored to do away with the short kinky hair bestowed upon them by their ancestors. Much of their spare change is invested in various tonics and inVigorstors, and the long attention and care bestowed upon it is shown in their de- seendants. The south Georgia negro is an evidence of evolution, the survival of the Attest.
