Reads Like = Fairy Tale.

From Stamford, Conn.,, comes the
tale Of an inheritance which reads like
the plot of an English sensational
novel. A crippled music teacher OF
that place had by strictest economy
saved, some thirty years since, about
81, 500, with which he intended to buy a
home for himself and his mother. He
always kept the money beside his bed.
and one night it was stolen. All search
was unavailing, ana the poor fellow
took up his work with heavy heart,
But the sequel of the tale is that not
long since the music teacher, still poor
and obscure, received letter from q
man in Australia whose name hc had
never even heard, saying that he was
on the point OF death, that he had stolen
the money and that so greatly had it
thriven in his hands that he had
amassed a large fortune, all of which
he had willed the musician. Not lohg
after the Australian was gathered to his
fathers, and his lawyer informed the
American that he had fallen heir to an
estate worth $40, 600, 900. The moral OF
the tale is whatever the reader pleases.

GARMENTS OF BARK.
Strange Natives Of Bolivia Who Have Ma
Use for Laundries,

Strange Natives Of Bolivia 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, sort of shirt made from the
bark of a 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
auts, tho backs of green beetles and
gay feathers from parrots and macaws;
besides which he and all his 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 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
sach ear silver coin is suspended,
sround the neck Is string of beads and
berries. with . birds wing or claw Of
some wild animal for pendant !
As a proof that they are rather proud
of their appearance, each carries bag
containing few articles for use in
adorning himself, comb made from
thongs of ihe palm tree, asqnantity of
the berries and fruit for painting the
skin black and red, q pair of pincers
(Which are nothing bus two mussel
shells) for pulling out any superfuous
hair that makes its appearance, q snuff
box made from snail she'll and the
musical instrument Of which he is most
fond the polished bone from stork' 8
leg or that of a monkey, which, being
round %nd hollow, answers very we'll
for flute or whistle, especially as It is
noise he desires and not q tune. :,
Tho ch4Sf sustenance of these Indians
is chicha, made of the cassava root
(yucca), boiled and then partly chewed
by the women, after which it is mashed
between stones and left to ferment. il, On
the third day 1t becomes little sharp
in taste, which quality increases as the
fermentation proceeds. It's consistency
and appearance are much like mashed
