The Indians of Ecuador.

While the Indians are under the rule
of the priests, and have accepted the
Catho .ic religion, three hundred and
fifty years of submission has not en-
tire divorced them from the ancient
rites they practiced under the pre-his-
toric civilization. Several times q
year they have feasts or celebrations
in honor of some event in the Inca his
tory. They never laugh and seldom
smile; they have no songs and few
amusements; their only semblanco TO
music is a mournful chant which they
give in unison at the feasts which are
intended to keep alive the memories Of
the Incas. They cling to the tradi-
tions and the customs of their an
ccstors. They remember the ancient
glory of their race, and look to it's
restoration as tho Aztecs of Mexico
look for the coming Of Montezuma-
They have religious relics which they
guard with the most sacred care, and
there are two great secrets which no

Those are the art Of tempering copper

Mummified Human Heads.

There is a most interesting ethno-
logical specimen at the art museum,
recently presented by Mrs. F. Has
saurek. Il was brought from Ecuador
by the late Frederick Hassaurek. 1t
is q dried human head from the
Jivaros Indians on the Napo river,
Ecuador, South America There are
few of these heads now. The Ma
tional Museum at Washington
has one, 1 believe. The heads
thus treated are always trophies
taken from a slain enemy. An in
cision is made quite through the skin
around the neck, we'll down toward
tho shoulders. The skin is then
drawn off over the hend, just as one
would do in flaying an animal. cut
tings being made wherever muscular
adhesion made 1t necessary. The
features are thus left intact. The
skin is then soaked in an infusion of
some kind of herb The second step
consists in filling the skin with hot
pebbles and sand, over and over, until
it is quite rshrunken and dry. The
soaking. in the decoction and the
shrinking and drying arc alternately
practiccd until tho trophy is reduced
to the desired proportions. The
[ mouth Is then sewed up, q cord is
passed through the top OF the head,
end tho head ia hung up in the smoke.

Friday last the State Supreme
Court rendered decisions on five of
the Alpena cases, appealed from this
Circuit. The case of Catherine Raj
nowski VS. the Detroit, Bay City &
Alpena railway (for damage to house,
hold goods at the time her residence
was set on fire by the locomotive and
that of Arthur Wilkinson VS. Long
Rapids township, were affirmed. The
latter suit was for services rendered
the township by the doctor. The
township officials thought the doctors
bill for attending the scarlet fever
cases was too high, it being s142.5O
They offered s25. The Supreme
Judges said that the doctors bill
must be paid. The law expenses will
amount to a good deal more than the
bill. The judgment rendered in favor
of Mrs. Rajnowski was Sl92.35.
The second suit of Mrs. Rsjnowski,
against the railroad. was for the death
Of one of her children at the same
fire, but the Supreme Judges refused
to allow the claim. The other cases
reversed were: Geo. L. Doolittle VS.
Ellen Gavigan, and Geo. Robinson VS.
Albert Pack.

Fall of Atlanta.

The entertainment given at the
Opera House on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings, must have
reminded old residents of the many
pleasant entertainments given by citi-
zens during the winter seasons before
the railroad entered this city, when
the people here were shut out from
the rest of the world, and had to de-
pend upon themselves for amusements
to break the monotony Of the winter
season. In those days many a pleas
ant entertainment was given by the
citizens, which were well attended
and greatly enjoyed.
The entertainment given last week,
was war drama, the "Fall of At
lanta," and was rendered for the ben
eft of Lockwood Post. Mr.. Connel
was given 80 per cent. of the receipts
for his services and the use Of the
drama.
All the parts, except one, we're Ia
ken by citizens, and each member of
the company did good work. The
play contains many stirring scenes
and laughable situations, and was
well worth seeing. There were bat
ties, skirmishes, prison scenes, and
many beautiful tableaux, making al
together pleasant evenings amuse-
ment.
G. M. Connel, the proprietor of the
drama, furnished most Of the fun
with his capital representation of the
character of an Irishman. The lead
ing parts. taken by L. G. Dafoe, Miss
Flora Jones, Miss Hattie White, E.

upon the following points:
/. In grave case of hystero-epilep-

the onset, produced calm sleep, amel-

after two weeks treatment, brought
about cure, either permanent or at
least temporary.

which is the strongest-a rope being
