~a,sss:ssY simplicity We take
it out in sleeves.
They are hieh-so high! The silk or
stuff is gathered into epaulettes, puffed
down to the elbow, from there plain to the
wrist. They are pretty, but, oh, why
were they not a winter instead Of spring
fashion? In cold draughts and bitter
winds they would have been most accept
able, but in summer we shall find them
tiIesome. Fashion does not care for that.
We must use our own good taste and not
be led blindly. Know what suits you
and how to wear it, and you can never
look badly dressed. adopt a fashion of
your own, if the prevailing one does not
suit you, and never be led to order dress,
coat or bonnet because you have seen
Some one else look we'll in it.
Now we are returning to the fashion OF
twenty-five years ago-a low dress, with
the dear old laco ber, he. If we have
grandmothers, now is our time. 1he
berthe ere wore is what we nre going to
wear. The picture shows such corsage
as worn at the evening reception by a
wealthy and very dressy belle. The whole
affair is an evening dress of white lace,
caught up si2htly to the left side with
trails of cluster roses. The train and
long, tight fitting Venetian sleeves are of
rose-pink and white brocaded velvet.
The train is set on at the back in broad
Vatican pleat, is lined with white satin,
and bordered with ostrich-feather trim
ming. The whole of the front is one
iImy mass of delicate lace. But it is the
revival of the grandma berthe that makes
the dress notable, and TINT is the feature
which, think, has come into vogue to
stay for year or so.
What deal one might write about
sleeves. How capricious fashion has
twisted and turned, heightened and short

upon as ''great medicine" She soon after
went off secretly to a neighboring village,
where the child was born.
Great search was made for her
before she was found, as 1T was expected that
the child would also be "great medicine' or
mystery" and OF great Importance and wei
fare to the tribe. They were induced to this
belief from the very strange manner Of its
conception and birth, and were soon con-
tirmed in 1t from the wonderful things which
it did at an early age. They say that among
other miracles he performed, when they were
likely to starve, he gave them four buffalo
as much meat as there was before they had
eaten saying that these four bulls would sup
ply them forever. The Only Man was bent
on the destruction of the child, and, after
making many fruitless searches for 1t, found
il hidden in a dark place, and put it to death
by throwing it into the river. When the
Evil Spirit heard of the death of this child, he
sought for the Only Man intending to kill
him. He traced him long distance and
finally found him with the big medicine
pipe in his hand, the charm Of mystery Of
which protects him from all his enemies.
After making themselves friends through
the smoking of the pipe they 20 their separ-
ate ways.
BY such ''traditionsn as these is can be
easily seen how easily an Indian can be
counted crazy. The ceremonies are calcu-
lated to make such superstitious people any
thing but peacemakers; and by the foregoing
it will be seen that the Evil Spirit is made To
appear much better than the Old Man, who
should come with "peace and good will
toward men, So with their Messiah of
today-he comes as al avenger, which is Sc
far from civilizations Christ Ed A FRY.

THE INDIAN MESSIAH ORGIES.
A Chapter of Fable-History on Indian
Ghost Dances.
HOW THE WILD CRAZE ORIGINATED.
The Dance is Not New Nor Modern,
Only Modified to Suit the De-
mands of the Age and
Occasion

NIoBRARA, Neb., Nov. 90 Especial to THE
BEE The coming of the Indians Messiah
is no new thing among Indians. 1t has only
taken new shape. His whole religious idea
is based on the most ridiculous superstitons;
and while he has over this recent worship
become more than usually crazed, it is after
all little worse than the ceremonies of the
Sun dances as they were performed in the
early days.
Catlin, in his Eight Years Among the
Sioux" describes Nu-Mohk- Muck a-Nah
(he first or only NAM in the Mandan cere-
mony as folows:
"Groups of women and children were gath
cred on the tops of their earth-covered wig
vans, and all were screaming, and dogs were
bowling and all eyes dpected to the prairies
in the west, where was beheld, at a mile
distant, solitary individual descending IA
prairie bluff and making his way in direct
line toward the village
"rhe whole village joined in the general
expression OF great alarm. as If they were in
danger of instant destruction; their horses
were caught upon the prairie and run into
the village; warriors were blackening their
faces, and dogs were mpzzled, ana every pre-
paration made as if for instant combat.
During the deafeniDg din and confusion,
the figure discovered on the prairie continued
to approach with dignihed step and in a
right line toward the village All eyes were
upon him, and he at length made his appear
ance, without opposition. within the pickets,
and proceeded towards the center OF the vii
lage, where all the chiefs and braves stood
ready to receive him, which they did III a
cordial manner by shading hands with him,
recognizing him as an old acquaintance, and
pronouncing his name Monk Muck a.
Nah (he first or only NAM. The body of
this strange personage, which was almost
naked, was painted with white clay, so as to
resemble at little distance white man.
He wore robe of four white wolf skins fall
ing back over his shoulders. On his head he
had splendid head d-dress made of two ra-
vens skins ana In hislef hand he cautiously
carried large pipe which he seemed to watch
and guard as something OF great Importance"
Catlin then gives very explicit description
OF the four-tay's ceremony of torture and
fasting The "trst or only mani is the "big
medicine" OF tho occasion, and is the repre-
sentative of the original keeping up the SEM
blance of reality

period such a man as is described in the fore

claimed that he was at one time the only man

least thirty towns of the Rhine valley, which
spreads out like a fan beyond the Bingeu.
We then went to Wiesbaden, meeting many
Americans on the promenade grounds of the
Kurgarten, a very fine, elegant park, but
also the warruest place we had yet encoun-
tered in Germany. More than eight thou-
sand strangers make their stay for the sea-
son in this city every year. ..-.,,
Leaving Wiesbaden and Its beef tea
water we made for Heidelberg, Frankfurt
and kissngen to see Prince Bismarck He
had not yet arrived, but was daily expected.
On the eventful day he was met at the depot
by an enthusiastic, tremendous crowd which
seemed to be spellbound when they got their
first glimpse of his stern features as he
alighted from the train. There is certainly
no man today who can make deeper i'm
preston upon the stranger than this great
prince, the first of men. No other head is so
powerful, or any other face so earnest as his.
But especially at that time did his features
betray a chagrin which could only be swept
away for a few seconds by the many young
girls who shOwered flowers upon him on his
way to the carriage. The Germans were not
quick enough to find the right word at the
right time, but Joined in Justify when sud
denly an American raised and swung his hat,
cxclaimng: Our great Bismarck, the maker
of history, hip, hip, hurrahp
When Bismarck acknow lodged the cheers
by lifting his broad trimmed slouch hat, we
all endeavcred to see the three hairs on the
plateau of his bald head, but failed to dis
cover any. He was apparently in the best cf
health, his whole bearing and quick elastic
step proving it, 1t was rumored that Bis
marck, when Emperor William insisted upon
| his acceptance of the dukeship of Louenburg,
| had answered in angry tones: Your majesty
| cannot make me any greater than
| am After he had finally consented
| to this new title he is credited with having
| said that he intended to make use of it when
ever he wished to travel incognito. The
| same American who had electrified the Ger
| mans to cheer the ex-chancelior, approached
| Bismarck few days later on the promenade
| in the park in a rather obtrusive way, by
boldly walking up to him, stretching out his
hand, which the prince grasped reluctantly,
| whereupon our countryman bowed with
| thanks, saying to Bismarck that he felt very
| proud to go home to America and be able to
| say that he had shaken hands with the
greatest man of Europe"
