Passing from ornament to utility. yet not for
saking ornamental workmanship, the collection
contains specimens of Hupa hair pins, skewer
like, sharp at each end and ornamented, and
set Of head utensils that especially belong to
the civilization" represented in the collec-
ton hair brush shows some regard for the
toilet, but the yermin tools were probably
more useful to the Hupa's. These tools con-
sist Of a padde-shaped scraper and a crusher
The paddle Is to stir up the vermin with and
the crusher TO crush them when in reach. The
infested hair is passed between the crusher and
the paddle. The paddle in the museum collec-
ton is Of cedar, about Is inches long and made
smooth and polished at the end by long use
The crusher Is greatly discolored by long use.
II is a cylindrical section Of an elk's femur 81
inches long.
The hair brushes are like primitive white
wash brushes, with the brush made of vege-
table fiber. These toilet articles are used in
preparation for dance, and paints and imple-
ments for tattooing are included in the col
lection.

ton are represented the drum, the rattle and
the bone whistles. The drum is a rectangular
box covered with leather, and when pounded

The -four is soaked few hours In q large
hollow scooped in the sand. The water drain

cooked into a kind Of mush in baskets by means
OF hot stones, or baked into bread in an under
ground oven. II the harvest is Of seeds rather
than Of acorns, they must be winnowed. This
is done in shallow bowl tray Of the closest
twined basketry, which the good woman has
not failed to decorate with geometirc patterns,
following their natural artistic instinct

This -four Is made into mush or bread The
mush is cooked in basket shaped like dinner
pot, made OF the same material a. the hopper
baskets and similarly decorated. The cooking
Is done by putting hot boulders into the mixture
and stirring 1t with long mush stick or pad
die. They eat their mush with an immense
horn spoon, with short zigzag handle and
spoon-shaped grip. These are small for savage
spoons, and are greatly larger than those we use.
They are rather more like ladies than spoons.

PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS.
Methods Which Popular Girls In Society
VIII Do Well to Remember.

From the Globe-Democrat
There Ia much discussion at present as to how
flowers can be preserved to send to far-sway
people. When it 10 desirable to send floral
souvenirs there is much chagrin that the per-
fumed beauties arrive in mashed, dilapidated
and discolored condition at their objective
point. This can easily be rectiAed by q little
care and attention. The best way il to pack
the flowers in ice. This IL q sure preservative,
especially If little salt ID sprinkled over the
crystalline surface.
Another mode in which flowers are sent In
complete preservation, even (and it il frequently
done) to Europe, ID to pack them closely in tin
cans, covering the stems with moist cotton.
Over all . layer Of wet cotton ID placed. At the
end Of the sea voyage the buds and flowers viii
be found fresh and fragrant ~ st the begin
ming. To keep flowers brightly from day to
day-that il, cut fowers--it ID only necessary
to sprinkle with water. place the stems deep in
moisture, and, II necessary, put . light layer Of
cotton over them. Flowers can be made 10 last
. long time u carefully watched. but they re-
quire the delicate nurture Of IN experienced

Much more display and elaboration, but less
nicely OF taste is shown in the hat worn by the
Hupa dude when he appears at the dance to
celebrate his entrance into the council circle
at the age of twenty. These hats are made Of
q gaily- painted band of eel-skin about 7
inches wide and cut in the shape Of right
trapezoid, 10 inches at the top and % inches at
the bottom. The two edges are sewed together
very skillfully, so as not to show the stitches
from the outside, forming a crownless hat
tapering upward. The body of the hat is
painted red. -Four panels on cartouches are
traced in blue lines, from which extend in
wardly points and wavy lines of solid blue
onto field of clay white, the interior of the
panels being painted white with pipe-clay
Strings of calico rags tied under the chin hold
the hat on. The tall wing feather of a goose
Is stuck straight up from the front and a bunch
of owl feathers hangs behind.
Another head dress is a band of soft deer skin
combined with strips of various ornamental
material. The lower band, about an inch wide,
Is the deer skin with the hair left on. Above this
the hair of the deer is replaced by q band of
the breasts of blue jays, 81 inches wide, and
above that band of alternating points Of
black and white Of deer skin and feathers
Above all is a row Of pompons Of woodpecker
crests. The band is held rigid by splints and
down the back hang two flaps of buckskin. All
sorts Of ornaments are used for these hats
otter skins, wings, crests, neck and tail feath-
ers OF tlckers, woodpeckers, ducks and blue
jays, fox skins, dyed grasses, shells, and what
not.
A variety OF head and neck ornaments are
made Of feathers and colored grasses woven to-
gether. Necklaces are made of Shells nuts.

of their musical instruments. Some Of these are
made double by tying two together. Others are
used singly. The drum, the whistle, and the
rattle sounded together inspire the Hupas in
their dances.
An interesting and instructive feature of the
collection are the various implements used in
the collection. preparation and serving of food.
The Hupas fished or hunted or harvested ac-
cording to the season of the year and the
product of the month furnished the food
thereof. Their harvesting consisted in the
gathering of nuts and acorns, chiefly the lat
ter. The acorns were most important food
product. They were gathered in the fall and
stored for winter and spring. They were
ground into -four and made into mush and
bread. The outfit for the acorn industry
represented In the Ray collection is a carrying
basket. mill and stone pestle. The carrying
basket is used by the women in gathering the
acorns. 1t is an osier hamper about 16 inches
high and 20 inches in diameter, fashioned by
fastening the warp by means of twined cords
of osier. Around the top are six or seven
rows of close-twined weaving. with brown
rush and grass, the colors alternating. The
basket is carried by the women by means of a
band across their foreheads The forehead is
protected by a carrying pad, consisting of
disk of mat SKA inches. made of a coil of grass
rope sewed together with grass. From each
end of this pad rope extends above the ears
back to the basket.

There is in the Ray collection an obsidian
knife, wrapped around one end with
strip of otter skin. The blade is of mot
tied obsdian. black and brown, u inches
long. q inches wide and / 1-16 inches thick
The Indian who gave this knife to Lieut. Ray
informed him that this particular kind of stone
is held in great generation and is brought from
great distance.
The notified obsidian is not found in the
Hupa valley. The use of this form as a tails
man is paralleled by the veneration in which
stone implements are held all over the world
when their active normal use is lost.
Among the articles paraded or worn in the
ceremonial dance is flake or knife of obsdian
or jasper, some of which are Is inches or more
in length and about 21a inches wide in the widest
part. These are wrapped with skin or cloth
to prevent the rough edges from lacera-
ting the hand. But the smaller ones are
mounted on wooden handles and glued fast.
The Hupa boat is not especially graceful in
shape. 1t is made of red wood, the work being
done chiefly by fire. The logs are burned off
at suitable lengths. The Indians then spread

the ladies of fashion through all civilization.
The Ray collection from the Hupa reserva-
ton forms an Independent study at the National
museum The Klamath river tribes in Northern
California form little world of antiquity inlaid
into modern civilization. In former times SIX
distinct stocks of Indians dwelt in the northern
part of California west of the Coast Range, each
speaking a distinct language. OF these the
Hupas were the leading race-the Romans OF
craft and language. The diplomatic" language
was Hupa, and other races had to pay tribute to
the Hupas. Lieut.. p. II. Ray, U. s. army.
started out to make a collection of chronological
materiaFfrom these tribes in 1885, with the result
that the primitive life of these people is COM
pletely pictured to the observant visitor at the
National museum.
The Hupas, without being marvelously en-
hghtened race, paid great attention to their
heads 1t was the Uranium rather than the in
tellect they labored to adorn.
The women's hats represented III the collec-
ton might be mistaken for baskets of very
ornamental design They are dainty little
hemispherical bowls made of fiber, woven to-
gether with great nicely, and gaily embroid-
cred in yellow, brown and black. The colors
are artistically blended, and with a never-re-
curing variety of fillets, bands, triangles and
Parallelograms which please the eye by their
form and color
nber, showing on the inside and occasionally
on the outside in narrow bands figures and
diaper work. Most of the outer side is orna-
mented by OVERLAPPING each strand of the brown
with strip of tough grass, in natural color
dyed, or with a strip of the black stalk Of the
maiden-hair fern. In twining her welt, the
savage weaver managed to keep these colored
grass strips outward although she would for
variety occasionally hide the grass and reveal
the body brown.

In October the Indians beat the trees for
acorns, which they carry to their homes in the
deep conical carrying basket They are then
prepared by the women for grinding. The
plant OF the mill is very primitive The mill con-
slsts of a mortar stone, mat or tray, q hopper,
peste and broom made of grass roots The
whole plant is entirely portable, and the grind
ing Is done by muscle power. The basket tray
Is intended to receive the grist when the hop
per and stone are not glued together. The
bowl-shaped hopper baskets vary in size and
adornment. The specimen in the Ray collec-
ton is 10 inches wide at the top and has an
opening OF 81 inches in the bottom. 1t is
woven of osier and grass. The warp is of
osier radiated. Commencing at the lower edge
the welt is composed of two rows of plain
twined osier; four rows of three-ply twine,
commencing with two strands of osier and one
of brown bast, and ending with three of
brown The greater part of the body is made
of brown and black bast twined in two-ply, but
the white color is produced by OVERLAPPING
either of these two colors with a strip of grass
leaf which the weaver knows how to reveal or
conceal on the outer portion. The geometric
hgures that ornament 1t are In black, brown, and
grass color. The margin is very curiousy
wrought The end of the warp osiers are bent
downward and plated into an eight-ply braid
and the ends cut off on the inside. As the
braid passes each warp osier it is plated in and
one cut off. This braid forms a margin at an
angle of As degrees. Under the cut ends q
hoop OF willow Is bound.
In using this hopper large shallow basket
is placed on the ground and a fiat stone placed
in the basket. The hopper is held in place
upon the stone by the left hand, while with the
right, the acorns manZanIta or whatever is to be
made into grist is dumped into the hopper and
ground with the stone pestle, which is held in
the right hand. The basket forming part of
the outfit is woven in trefoil pattern in brown
and grass colors. The rude pestles are made
by knocking off the edges of a piece Of hard
rock, and sometimes they are ground smooth.
In this primitive mill the Hupas ground their
acorns. The squaws first removed the bulls
by holding the acorn on a stone and giving it a
slight tap with the pestle. The nuts are then
dried and put in the hopper, where they are
submitted to the grinding procesa descr ihed
