Strange Natives of Bolivla Who Have Nd
Use for Laundries.

Strange Natives of RolivIa Who Have No
Use for Laundries.
We have been much interested of late
in accounts OF the Yuracares, tribe of
wild Indians who inhabit the eastern
frontier OF. Bolivia. They wear but one
garment, o sort of shirt made from the
bark of tree, the bark being beaten
thin until it resembles cloth. They
paint these shirts in all kinds of gro
tesque figures, using bright colors ex-
tracted from various dye plants.
On state occasions the cacique also
wears pigtail made from the shells of
nuts, the backs of green beetles and
gay feathers from parrots and macaws;
besides which he and all bis people
further enhance their beauty by paint
ing black rings around their arms and
legs. One would think that nature had
made them dark enough, but they evil
IDENTIFY entertain different opinion, and
make use Of a kind of fruit which looks
like an apple, which, when rubbed on
the skin, turns it black as ink
Then they redden their cheeks with
the juice of a berry and paint scarlet
rings around the eyes and mouth. From
each ear a silver coin is suspended,
around the neck is string of beads and
berries, with birds wing or claw of
some wild animal for pendant.
AS proof that they are rather proud
of their appearance, each carries bag
| containing a few articles for use in
adjoining himself, a comb made from
thongs of che palm tree, quantity of
the berries and fruit for painting the
skin black and red, a pair of pincers
(which are nothing but two mussel
shells) for pulling out any superfiuous
hair that makes it's appearance, snuff
box made from a snail she'll and the
musical instrument of which he is most
fond-the polished bone from stork's
leg or that of monkey, which, being
round and hollow, answers very we'll
for flute or whistle, especially as it is
noise he desires and not tune.
Tho chief sustenance of these Indians
is chicha, made of the cassava root
yucca. boiled and then partly chewed
by the WON N, after which it is mashed
n between stones and left to ferment. On
the third day it becomes little sharp
in taste, which quality increases as the
fermentation proceeds. Its consistency
and appearance are much like mashed
potatoes, and to prepare it for drinking
lump the size of your fist is taken in a
dirty hand and kneaded in agourd of
water until we'll mixed.
Then all tho coarser iber which floats
on the surface is removed with the
fingers, and the beverage is considered
fit for the gods" Those who have SO
far overcome their natural prejudice
against the fangs and fingers of the
squaws as to taste it report that it is
both palatable and wholesome.-Cor N.

STILL DANCING.
The Great Army of Indians Around Pine
Ridge Are Anxious.

The Great Army OF Indians Around Pine
Ridge Are Anxious.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Nov. 25.-
The hostiles are still dancing on Medicine
Root and at the mouth of Wounded Knee
Creek, on White River. They say they
will come to the agency when they get
through dancing. It is fact, however,
that their chiefs are now here, but they
have had no conference with General
Brooke or Agent Roger, and it is not
likely that they will have. They are
liable to arrest.
No Water and Big Road sta1ked past
the soldiers in their paint and eagle
feathers. They refused to be interviewed,
and after surveying the ground rode back
to their people, whose village completely
surrounds old Red Clouds house. There
are reports that Little Wound is here, but
if he is he is keeping himself under
cover.
The situation is no better and no worse
than it was yesterday. Agent Roger
made this statement: ''The great army OF
Indians now here remain quiet and
anxious. Beyond on the hills are the
ghost dancers, left for the moment by
their leaders, as defiant as ever. Mean
time the military preparations for. some
big movement continues.

1t may not be generally known, even
to the man who thinks he hits the nail
on the head when he says, whats in

the title or part of the title of more

other. Take the plain Wayne first,
without any embellishments. There is

The Goth"nburg System.

From the statements of the various
speakers official and otherwise, at the
important International Temperance
Congress at Christian'a, it appears that
the famous Gothenburg system, now
mainly adopted throughout Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, constitutes prac-
ideally an effective check upon the evils
VI drink. Norway has reduced it's con-
sumption per head of intoxicants by
more than one-half. and thereby effected
= vast reduction in crime. Sweden,
cursed for about half a century
with 10000 domestic stills. has
suppressed household distillation
ind given such local option to
town and country municipalities as en-.
Ibles the Gothenburg town council to
AXE over the drink shops, suppress one
half Of them, enact Sunday-closing and
sarly weekday closing-7 or p. M, &C
sording to season. The trade is now
carried on through what is called 'sBo.
lay" which has to apply all surplus
profits to educational and like public
objects. In some places, it is admitted,
the proportion of drunkenness still
squalls that of English towns, but in a
uumber Of districts the councils have
exercised their local option to the full
md suppressed all drink shops.-Lon.

He Says God Help the Indian Who Fires

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Telegrams were re-
ceived all day from Western posts by
General Miles, who directed the troops
movements. A larger force than has been
mustered in the West since 1S76-77 is now
about Pine Ridge. The re-enforcements
are sent on account of the advices re-
ceived from General Brook, who is dis
posed to take a very serious view of the
situation. The troops at every fort or
army station in Missouri, Nebraska, Da-
kota, Minnesota, Montana, and Wyoming
will be drawn upon, and other detach-
ments of the army are under orders to
hold themselves in readiness. Instruc-
lions are to prevent trouble, if possible,
by persuading the Indians to return to
the agency.
Gen. Miles said to-day: 'Before say a
word as to the situation in the turbulent
Indian country in the Northwest. let me
say that have no boys play to deal
with. I have the situation within my
grasp. God help the first Indian who
fires the first shot. am in duty bound
to protect lives and property, and as long
as am the head of this military depart
ment 1 propose to do my duty. There

condense that message into about two

Gettysburg to Receive Its Growing Glory

Gettysburg to Receive Its Drowning Glory
in the Shape OF Monument.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, Nov. 25-There now
seems probability that the already
splendidly marked field of Gettysburg
win receive its browning glory in the
shape of splendid monument to Gen.
eral Meade and his corps commanders.
At the recent meeting of the Military
Order of the Loyal Legion, in Pittsburg,
the subject of erecting at Gettysburg a
monument to General Meade and his
corps commanders was discussed by
Governor Beaver, Colonel Nicholson, of
the State Commission on Gettysburg
monuments; General Caldwell and other
prominent members of the State Com
mandery, and plan which has been
under consideration for long time will
undoubtedly be brought before the
Legislatures of Pennsylvania and other
States.
OF late both the Loyal Legion and
Grand Army havea given the matter a
good deal of attention, and, in fact, at
the late meeting of the legion a commu.
nication was received from a Grand
Army post asking the cooperation of
the legion in pressing upon the next
Legislature the Importance of making
an appropriation for a Meade statue.
It is now proposed to erect to Meade
and his corps commanders, Reynolds
Hancock, Sickles, Sykes, Sedgwick, How.
ard. Slocum and Pleasanton, a joint
monument which will be such work OF
art as can be seen nowhere else in the
country. The only mounted figure will
be that of Meade, the commander of the
army. The corps commanders, on foot
will be grouped about the commander.
The plan has the hearty approval
among many others, Of Gov. Beaver and
Col Nicholson, the former of whom was
in Hancock's corps, and the latter O.
whom in later years was the particular
military confident of Gen. Hancock.

BY the death of the king of Holland

BY the death of the king of Holland,
Europe is confronted with one of those
petty principality questions that often
lead to great complications. The duke
dom of Luxembourg was personal
possession of the monarch now deceased,
which is not transmitted with his
Netherlandish sovereignty. A new
ruler for the duchy must now be chosen,
and the task is likely to be about as
troublesome as have been similar ones
regarding Danubian principalities.

PEELED to live under that modern despct-

condition of the czars subjects grows
dim in the light of the floggings, the

tyranny seems likely to reform the
abuses that make Russia a disgrace to

Cossacks and told to wait, no reason
being given. After an hour or two they
were asked to leave the shelter and were
taken to an open field in pouring rain.
Here they were again surrounded by
Cossacks and made to wait three hours.
