sleep on any thing else. A chair. when
they have one, is rather q matter Of
ornament than use. The dress of q
squaw is, to begin with, single calico
garment, which after being put on is
never taken of. When q new garment
is received from the Government it is
put on over tho old one, and 80 on
with subsequent additions until the
inner cone drops of. Half q dozen
dresses are sometimes worn over each
other in this way, a squaw's wardrobe
and wealth being almost literally ION
her back" The dresses are lOose-fit-
ting, but drawn together at the waist
by fancy girdle. They have no
trunks.
The ears of both sexes are fairly
riddled with holes as large as pencil,
from which hang many ornaments
made of brass and bones. Both sexes
wear the hair long, plated and heavily
Ornamented-a full-dressed squaw
looks like an animated and moving
junk-shop, with all her rags, bones and
brass about her.
Polygamy prevails and whenever a
''brave'' is displeased with his squaw
he ''throws her away" The marriage
ceremony is mainly that of capture. ."
The brave covers himself with largo
blanket, hiding all but one eye, which
is painted beyond all recognition. He
selects his girl and envelops her in his
blanket. Being sure Of his audience,
he sings her love-song. If she sub
mits to this the courtship is over
and he takes her home. He regards
his mOther-in-law as his natural enemy
and never deigns to either speak to her
or look at her.
Many of the Indians, especially the
young ones, are handsome in figure and
sometimes in face. Their complexion
is about that of an Italian, hair and
eyes uniformly black, teeth sound and
white, even among the aged.
In school the children are bright in
their studies and close observers Of all
that goes on around them. All kinds
of deception are considered legitimate,
and the better the lie the smarter the
author. Among themselves all the
work is done by the women, the men
doing nothing until they are taught
and compelled by the inroads of civiliza-
ton. Alcoholic liquors in any form
are not allowed on any of the reserva-
tons. All demands upon the Govern
ment are made through the head
teacher of the school, who naturally
becomes the queen bee of the savage
hive. The teachers are under superin-
tendents, who report to their superiors
in the Department of the Interior.

cH,LonEM.s BRAINS.

Tho AA1f and Hall Training Reoo03,y In
tredsoed Into EnglisA Scheels.
The Wiseacres of society were . long
time in discovering that child's brain
Is capable Of only q limited and mod
crate amount of fixed attention daily.
They have, however, arrived at that
conclusion at last. Brain slavery has
been nearly abolished in schools
especially in public schools. To whom
principally. belongs the credit of first
establishing the fact that children may
be overtaught, we do not know; but he
deserves that a votive statue. sculp-
tured by childish hands, should be
erected in his honor in every great
city in Christendom.
1t is amazing that our great-grand-
fathers should not have reflected that
little heads had something else to do
than pore over books, viz: to grow.
Psychologists must have known, CEN
turtles ago. that a young brain. like q
young back, might be crippled, de-
formed, crushed, by the imposition of
burdens unsuited to its comparatively
feeble power of endurance. But the
doctors did not interfere with the
scho0lmasters. 1t was not in their
way" and so the examining system
flOurished unchecked until within the
last half century.
What is called half and half training
has recently been introduced into the
industrial schools Of England with
great success. The foreno0ns are de-
voted to book-learning, the afternoons
to active employments; and it is found
that pupils acquire twice as much
knowledge within given number Of
days under this system as they
acquired in the same time when they
studied" all day long.-M. Y. Ledger

that the surroundings, now given over
to shops and traffic, constituted, in the
latter part of the last century, the
garden of Father Antonio de Sedella,
a Spanish cura, whose simple, practical
piety, unbounded charity and unsullied,
unselfish character so endeared him to
the hearts of the people as to obtain
for him popular canOnization as a
saint. When he died the entire city
was plunged in grief, all bust
ness was suspended, courts adj
journed, theaters closed, and young
and old, including the clergy of
every sect and denomination, united
to pay final respect 70 the good man;
even the Masonic bodies of high and
low degree, in full regalia and badges
of mourning, walked in solemn process

in the history of the order where such
honors have been accorded the remains
