wax becomes incorporated with the tur-

CALIFORNIA INDIANS.
They were Exceedingly Indolent, Slug
gish and Stupid.


At first this fact seems totally at vari-
ance with the fitness of things; for. if
California was not literally land flow
ing with milk and honey, it possessed
every attribute to be desired by bar
barous people. Its climate was mild
and equable; it's coast and inland waters
teemed with fish and mullusks; while
the land abounded with game and with
nuts, roots and seeds which were both
nutritious and easily procured. With
such advantages as these it might be
supposed that the natives would have
far outstripped the jewellers of less IA
vored sections. Human progress, now
ever, does not always follow the lines
of least resistance, and it is probab Bile
that in their struggle toward civiliza-
ton the races of the world owe less to
| their advantages than to their dis
advantages. To put this SEEM
| ing paradox in other words,
mans improvement has been largely
/ compulsory, and, when he is not too
i heavily handicapped, adverse sur
/ roundings stimulate instead of check
| ing his progress. Certain is it that the
! fine climate and abundant natural
! products of California had their full eff
| feet in developing, or rather in retard-
! ing the development, of the natives.
! Though not deficient physically. the
! Indians, especially of the warmer por-
| ton of the State, were exceedingly in
! dolent and stupid. AS rule they were
! not hunters but fishers, and hence their
| blood was not quickened and their
! muscles hardened by the excitement
and toll of the chase; nor were their
| wits sharpened to the same extent as
| those of the hunting tribes by the
manifold and varied necessities of their
calling, nor by the sterner duties of
war: for the hunting tribes are in
variabiy warlike. -H. w. Henshaw, in

tremendous Growth of the Adulteration
of Food by the Use of Rarytes.


of Food Dy the Use of Barytes.
A St Louis gentleman was met at
one Of the hotels yesterday who states
that in several counties of Missouri a
|. wholesale business in an adulterant
known as barytes is carried on to an ex-
tent which has become almost alarm
ing The name of the informant is in
possession of the News but for reasons
given by himself is not given at pres
emit In speaking of the unlawful traf-
fic he said; ''Barytes is cheap, viii to
mineral substance, which is found prin-
cipally in the counties of Jeffer-
son, Washington. Franklin, Cooper
and Usage, and is mined and shipped
broadcast all over the country at the
rate of thousands of tons a year. AL
though there are hundreds of mines in
operation the supply is always less
than the demand. Several large firms
in St Louis handle nothing else, and
have become immensely wealthy with
in the past few years. A strange feat
ure about the nefariouS business is that
very few of the miners know the real
use to which the mineral is put. 1t
passes through several hands before it
reaches the consumer. which is the peo-
Pile themselves. After being taken out
of the earth it is broken up and pull
verified into fine powder so as to re-
semble -four or white lead. 1t is mixed
with many articles of food, such as
graduated sugar. powdered sugar,
and is also extensively used in
adulterating white lead, which is the
basis of mineral paints. That is the
principal reason the paints turn yellow
much sooner nowadays than in former
years. 1t is shipped in barrels, and the
people where it is mined are told that
it is gypsum or is intended for use in
packing-houses for painting the canvas
with which cured meats are covered in
summer.
The miners receive only so or go
cents day, and many women are en-
ployed who receive % and so cents
day. The owners of the land are paid
a royalty of 20 cents a ton. 1t is found
within three or four feet of the surface,
and is sold in the market at S. ton.
The retailers receive about 6 cents
pound. / do not eXaggerate when | say
that hundreds of thousands of tons of
this mineral have been shipped out
of Missouri. and the industryis grow

of the leading men of the State are in
terested in the work, and have made
investments in lands and crushing ma
chinery. For many years Germany has
been sending barytes to this country as
ballast in the holds of ocean steamers,
and these Missouri men have become 50
bold in their operations as to ask that
duty of four dollars ton be placed on
the imported article. The mineral is
tasteless and actually dissolves on the
tongue, but the extent to which it is
used demands that the public should be
informed concerning its presence in the
market"
