There are today in the United States
less than 300, 900 Indians, inclnding all
the partially ci@iIized afisi the wild tribes.
n Central America and Mexico there ara
about $500, 900. In South America they
are estimated at 100000 The philolo-
gists, whose works in studying and clas-
styling native languages of the New
World are Of great value, have recog-
nized about 400 separate and distinct
tongues, Of which 43O belong 70 North
America and $50 to South America. The
languages represent as many separate
nations OF tribes which once existed here.
Many of the nations are extinct, par
ticularly those which inhabited the At
lantic states of the Union, but fragments
at least of their speech have been pre-
served by writers who were contemporary
with them. These langue ges were not
mere dialects of the same tongue, but are
complete each in itself and distinct the
one from the other, all conforming to de-
mands that enable the plilologists to clas-
sify them in their chronological as well as
linguistic relations. The testimony of
these languages seems to declare that the
teiupeAdUS regions OL NOTJD AlneTlCd were
the corresponding regions of the southern
continent, which once supported dense
population and still maintains many mill
ions OF the aboriginal races.
The Spanish conquerors had always
two great objects in view. One was to
secure gold, the other to propagate their
religion. They had no desire to destroy
the natives. They killed when it APP
peared necessary in order to carry out
their objects, but otherwise their policy
was to interfere as little as possible with
with them, and having conquered, to
protect and preserve the original inhab-
itants. Civilization penetrated those
countries by slow degrees and the simple
Indians were not much exposed to its
whitening touch. AS consequence there
are in South and Central America and
Mexico today more than 10000, 900 Of
the aboriginal races In the vast region
Of the United States where there were
people who constituted tribes or nations
enough to represent several hundred Ian
guages there are today about $50, 900

cient nhabitants.-New Orleans Plea

Apropos Of the season is the pretty
legend which tells of the invention of the
fan.
'"The Chinese annalists relate that
long, long and long ago, when the En-
peror Hoang-T reigned, his empress, the
beautiful Su-ling-shi, held grand court
festival one sultry summer day. The sun
just blazed down from an unclouded
sky; the air was SO still that even when
the empress and her ladies wandered into
the gardens, not zephyr moved to re-
fresh them by cooling breeze. If
could only make the air mover sighed
the despairing princess, and she dis
missed her attendants and took q bath
in secluded fountain. As she lay re-
clining in indolent languor beneath the
shade, a queer little old woman ap-
preached her, and bowling to the ground
placed in her hands the prettiest, tiniest
little tan, all ivory and silk and gold and
lacquer work, and said: % gracious
queenl consort of the Son of Heaven, be-
hold what will make the air cool when
the sun burns the earthp She then re-
tired as mysteriously as she came. The
heart of Su-ling-shi was filed with de-
light, and the next day she showed the
miniature fan to q cunning artisan and
babe him make her dozen such toys of
large size, which he accordingly did. So
tho Empress Su-ling-shi suffered no
more from the heat when the west winds
were still, and ever since fans have been
priced objects of comfort and elegance. p"

Seals for the Museums.

Capt. Thorold, of San Francisco,
shipped eleven seals captured at the Far
allones to various museums east. They
will make the trip in tanks of sea water.
Fourteen sea lions in all were captured
by the sailors under the captain, but two
escaped at the wharf by diving off the
schooner when released, and another
was killed in fight with fellow seal in
the hold. The animals were captured
by sailors, who creep up on them when
asleep, throw a sack over their head and
tie their flippers. Karl Hansen, one of
the men, attempted to capture an aged,
gray bearded brute, and failed to get the
sack securely over his head. The ami
mails shook him off, attacked him and
bit half of one of his hands off before
another sailor could come to the rescue.
The lion was shot in the neck, but man
aged to escape into the water. Chicago

Rind of Fruit IndiGestiblc.

That the rind or skin of all fruit is
more or less indigestibIe, is a fact that
should not be forgotten. We say all
fruit, and the statement must DO under
stood to include the pellicle of kernels
and nuts of all kinds. The edible part Of
fruit is peculiarly delicate, and liable to
rapid decomposition if exposed to the
atmosphere; it is, therefore, wise pro-
vision of nature toplace q strong and inn
pervious coating over it, as protection
against accident, and to prevent insect
enemies from the seed within. The skin
of plums is wonderfully strong compared
with its thickness, and resists the action
of water and many solvents in q remark
able manner. If not thoroughly masti-
Gated before taken into the stomach the
skin is rarely, if ever, dissolved by the
gastric juice. In some cases pieces of it
adhere to the coats of the stomach as wet
paper clings to bodies, causing more or
less disturbance or inconvenience.
Raisins and dried currants arc particu-
'arly troublesome in this way, and, if not
chopped up before cooking, should be
thoroughly chewed before swallowing.
If dried currant passes into the stom-
ach whole it is never digested at all. In
the feeding of domestic animals this fact
should be kept in mind. If grain and
leguminous seeds are not crushed or
ground, much of the food is often swal-
lowed whole and the husk or pellicle
resists the solvents of the stomach. caus-
ing considerable loss of nutriment.
Birds, being destitute Of teeth, are pro-
vided with special apparatus for grind
ing their seed, namely, the gizzard. The
indigestibility of certain nuts is partially
due to the brown skins. Blanched al
monds, on this account, are more digest
ible than those which have rot been so
treated. -Popular Science News.

Oysters for Chicago.

The pleasing intelligence is made public here that nearly all the oysters which Chicago epicures and others have been eating are sub jected to such vigorous hydropathic treat ment as to render them practically without flavor. It is explained that the 'shuckers' in the Baltimore packing houses in opening the oysters throw off all the liquid, as they are paid so much gallon for ''solid meats" " The oysters are then thrown into larger colander holding about a barrel, and as soon it is filed stream of cold water in the shape of spray is turned upon the oysters for a considerable length of time, for the purpose of bleaching them and bloat- ing them. The practical effect of this is completely to deprive them of their original flavor; but, as if this was not enough, large piece of ice is put in a barrel and the oysters are then poured into the barrel and the barrel headed up. In this condition they are shipped to Chicago. Over 1,2OO carloads of oysters were shipped to Chicago from Balti- more last year, and after being subjected to the cheering process of an ali Til ride to this city their condition is in no wise improved.

Singular Trio on Broadway.

In upper Broadway is frequently seen a singular trio Its most striking figure is a man servant, of the English pattern, who wears high hat with band of cloth around it and a dark blue coat, reaching to his shins, and doubtless covering more emphatic liv- cry. He is as stiff as though frozen by the blizzard, and his countenance is utterly ex- pressionless. He carries two umbrellas under one arm. The next person, taking them by size, is prim looking woman of 40, whose plainness of dress is very careful when you come to look at it critically. The third and important person is a girl of 10, jaunty in dress and air, and with distressing self consciousness considering her youth
 Her hand rests in a proprietary manner on the arm of the woman, while the man servant walks deferentially yet pompously behind them. The child is going to fash ionable dancing school for private lesson. The woman is her governess, who instructs her in most of the branches of education, and who is now escorting her to the dancing master. The lackey goes along ostensibly to protect the extra precious heiress, but really to give impressiveness to the procession as a sort of drum major.-New York Sun.

CHAPTER XXXV. A POPULAR LEADER.

Market hall was full of excited workmen when Curran pushed the door open and stepped ill. Some would be orator had been trying to voice the wrongs of the people, but when the whisper ran along the seats that Culran was at the deor every head was turned. Then, as if by common impulse, the whole audience rose to their feet, and the building seemed to tremble with the cheer that burst from the brawny throats. Here was an orator indeed, man who could set before them their sufferings and wiring their hearts with self pity; who could make each soul of them wonder at his own patience.
 He made his way slowly up the aisle with simple greetings for his friends, as they stretched out their grimy hands to him. But his smile was so sad and hopeless that every glad face sobered as he passed He mounted the platform and turned his face toward them. He seemed but the ghost of his cheered him again, and those in the rear leaped upon their seats in the eagerness to see their hero Then all held their breath to lis ten; even the girls in the gallery stopped their excited whispering while they waited for his grand ringing tones that had thrilled the faintest hearts so many times before. Would he never begin!
 ''What is this meeting for!"
 The orator his coming had interrupted, was only too glad to explain.
 ''We don't get our rights We get little, but that's all, and we mean to fetch the young boss to his milk tomorrow; don't we, ladsY7
 A shout of eager assent went up from the crowd. Then all was still again. Now would come the torrent of words of flame Yes, Curran had stepped forward to the very edge of the platform, in his old habit. But who was the fellow with bandaged head pushing his way so ru1ely up the main aisle, as if he bore tidings? It must be ill tidings to make him in such haste. But Curran had begun to speak.
 "You are making mistake. my frienus- great mistake. The young master has done well by you, and he will do better, if you will give him time to think. Such mighty ideas as have got into his mind can't be stopped They will not let him halt long; he must be swept forward. But you must wait for him. You have waited for your cruel and heartless masters thousands of years Will you only show yourselves impatient and insolent to the first one who shows himself kind toward youa Do you want to make his name an example and a warning for his classa l have heard their scoffs and taunts already-the air is full of them. Look, they say, at the way the people treat the man who tries to help them. Friends, you are making a terrible ulistakAn

Feminine Swells as Photographers.

The feminine swells of New York have gone into photography. So many glass roofed flower room in Fifth avenue and its neigh borhood is the resort of one or more fair photographers, and in several cases photo graphing parties are held by appointment once week. A practical man is hired to manipulate the plates, and so the results are reached at the time and place of meeting. The girls pose the human objects, aim the camera, and within half an hour see the pho- tographs completely mounted on cards The pictures range from artistic prettiness to clumsy comicality. Composite photographs, showing the amalgamated faces of a whole coterie, are favorite fancy. Again, the casual caller is liable to be invited by his young hostess into the conservatory, not for a sentimental chat among the flowers, but to sit before her lens. If she be a beautiful and bewitching creature, and she says, as she un- caps the lens, ''Look straight into my eyes," the pleasant expression" of the bewildered and fascinated fellow is apt to be a singular depletion of stiffness and embarrassment Perhaps that is part of the enjoyment which she obtains from the instrument.-New York Letter.
