Literary Notes.

In opening the beautiful December Maya
azine of American History the eye rests first
upon the Rembrandt Peale portraits of Geo.
and Martha Washington, contributed by Miss
Stokes, gems in their way, superbly engraved
and of surprising interest now that II is so
unusual 10 discover unpublished portraits of
our first President. 1.-The Inauguration OF
Washington in 1889" by Mrs. Lamb, is a
timely as well as a notable paper, and con-
tains much fresh information on subject
soon to be holly canvassed by writers OF ev-
cry grade in connection with the approaching
celebration in New York City. 1t is uniquely
and appropriately illustrated. This magazine
while giving to the public charmingly read
able Washington number" has not over
looked Christmas. The second paper is by
DIR. Prosper Bender on the "Holidays Of the
French Canadian" and it is well worthy oil
critical attention. Following. Shirly Carter
Hughson writes of "Francis hiarion's Grave
and Prof Z. w. Gillian contributes spirited
article on "The French Colony in San Do
mingo," describing It's rise and fall. Then
comes an interesting colloquial paper on
81 he Declaration of independence, by M.
M. Baldwin; washington Portraits by Rem
brandt Peale," which is brief history by the
editor of the elegant frontispieces; Colonel
Stones "Trip from New York to Niagara in
1890" Part ILL.,, in which he visits and de-
scrbes the falls and the country Whereabouts
with its canal-packet accommodations; and
Moncure d. Conway has curious page on
the origin Of the epithet, 1.-The Father OF his
Country" Among the short contributions is
one from Katharine Armstrong, of London,
England, on THE Anglo-Awericans" an TN

IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
How the AbOrisines and Half Breeds Treat
Themselves When Sick.


Themselves When Sick.
! When one is sick or has suffered
| bodily injury, no matter how grave,
his first thought is to call in an Indian
medicine woman" or ''brujo," as she
is called. This woman will make a
solution of the pressed leaves of some
plant, and will anoint the patient with
this and some oil, and will then sit by
the sufferers couch, burn incense and
sing medicine songs, with all the rela-
tives and friends present to join in the
chorus. The sickness may be con-
sumption, a deadly fever, smallpox, a
broken limb or any thing else, and
such is the treatment. 1t may be a
complaint in which the sick man needs
quiet and rest, but that makes no diff
ference; the noise is still kept up, and
the Indians imagination must be a
powerful one to cause him TO believe
that he is convalescing when the
remedy is pushing him fast to the
grave.
Not only is this the custom among
the Indians but also among the
''ladinos," a mixed race of Spaniards
and Indians, occupying a better social
position than the mulatto, and who are
very proud of their white blood, and
would be insulted if called Indians. So
it may be regarded as certain that
when an Indian becomes actually i'll,
like the ostrich, he is sure to die. It
may be a surprise that the natives be-
lieve in the lamentations of these
medicine women when we know
that Central America was con-
quered by the Spaniards, that the
aboriginal worship was suppressed,
and that the Catholic religion
was propagated both by preaching and
fear of punishment. But though the
natives of to-day go to the churches
and claim to be Catholics, they are as
ignorant of any doctrine as they are
of the appearance of Broadway. Dur
ing the conquest, the country was over
run by priests, and the aborigines be-
came nominal Catholics; but the prop

making them actually so than they did
with the dogs and birds of the coun-
try. Even as late as 1865 Spanish
sseaking priests were in religious
charge of Indian towns. preaching to
people of whose tongue they had no
knowledge and in a language which
their hearers could not understand.
An English resident of many years in
the country told me that he once asked
a very prominent clergyman, now
Bishop in Central America, why the
Indian language was not taught to
young priests whose duty it was to do
the teaching OF the faith to the natives,
who did not understand Spanish. The
reply was ''that such knowledge of
the Indian tongue would, of course, be
an advantage, but on the whole he did
not think that the Indians needed any
teachin9."-N Y. Times,
