mischief with native handiwork. DR.. Wolf
observed this fact far south of the Congo and
said that in some places the natives, who
have acquired foreign jack-knives and other
hardware, are liable to forget the art of IRON
working. Mr.. Hore, on Lake Tanganyika,
deprecates the importation of any merchant
disc that will ruin native Industries. There
seems to be tendency in some savage lands
to accept the white man as a valuable agent
fer the promotion of laziness.
Archbishop Nicann, of Odessa, has created
sensation in Russia, by sermon in which
he denounced the Incorporate habits of the
people. Here is specimen of his philippe
against the drink evil: What is it that
causes the widespread impoverishment of
the Russian peoples The sale of intoxica-
ting liquors all over the empire is supported
principally by Russians and by very few
foreigners. For the sake of drink, which
the orthodox Russian takes to with an avid
ity beyond all control, he sacrifices fortune,
character and morals. Foreigners are
ashamed of being intoxicated, foul mouthed,
and disorderly, but Russians never. The
consequence is that the Russian is every-
where the hired servant of the foreigner.
Honest work is no disgrace, but in our pres
ent social state the Russian willingly lends
himself out to the Jew and the German,
while the German would consider himself
lowered if he labored for a Russian, and the
Jews, if they work at all among Russians,
are nearly always in some capacity of super
intendence.

THE SMART INDIAN.

When the big pale faces who attend to In
dian affairs have discussion with the Indi-
ans they sometimes have as much as they
can do to hold their own. The Sioux chiefs
at Washington complained because the far
mers sent to them to show them how to farm
can't talk their language, and "only make
motions with their hands and 60 away" To
this complaint, voiced by Mad Bear, Com
missioner Morgan responded by asking
"Thsn why don't you learn the English lam
guage, SO you can understand theme" This
answer was delivered with the usual digni-
fed slowness of the Indian, ''If we had
got the schools on the reservation as prom
ised in 1868 we would now know English
but we did not get them"
This was what is known among the world
ly as ga corker." The Norwich Bulletin
put the case about right when it says: Be-
fore any white man begins to howl abou
the bad faith and treachery of the Indians
he ought to be given to read short bu
fairly complete history of the various lie
which have been told them by whites; of tn
various promises which have been forgotte,
or deliberately broken by whites; of the va
rious robberies and frauds which have beet
committed by whites; of the various trea
ties which have been violated by whites
He may not love the Indian any more afte
such perusal, but he will probably be to-
| ashamed Of his own color to continue hi
howl against them,

MOURNING IN THE ORIENT.
The Customs In Vogue Among the
Hindana aud ChfnNaa.


White is the morning garb throughout the
far East. The Hindoo son whose father dies
must not shave, wear shoes or shirts, or
anything except a piece of white cloth dur
ing the period of mourning. You see Chi
namen dressed in white, moving among the
gayly dressed throngs of every Chinese city.
And when Chinaman is in mourning he
braids white silk into his hair and has even
the soles of his shoes painted white. He
entirely discards for the time all things of
red color, and he takes the red coloring off
the furniture of his house. Red is the color
of prosperity in China. 1t means lucky, and
the ordinary Chinese visiting card is strip
of red paper as long as a government envel-
ope. While in mourning he prints his
name on white visiting cards, and he does
this for three years. At the end of that
time he puts on garments of a..modiied color
and writes on his visiting cards the word
bitter as before" "~ Chinese, and in fact all
nations of the Orient, are more rigid as to
their terms of mourning than we are. The
Chinaman who would not put on mourning
for his father would be arrested, and in
Corea a man is expected to clothe himself
in yellow sackcloth and trot around the
country under hat as big as a dislpan,
holding fan before his face for three years
after the death of any near relative. During
this time he can do no business, cannot en-
gage in marriage or attend any festivities.
Cinnamon do not go to theaters during
their mourning period, and the law to a GER
tain extent regulates the mourning customs
of Japan. During mourning the leading
officials of many Of the countries have the
right to resign, and not long ago Ii Hung
Chang. the great viceroy, asked to be excus-
ed from his duties as Premier of the Chinese
Empire in order that he might go off and
mourn for his mother.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

For some time before the two Dakotas
were made States they were industriously
and skillfully doomed in every way that
could be thought of. Now there is a very
different story. Thus it is announced that
the treasures of both States are empty and
that the receipts are falling so far behind the
expenses that some measures of relief must
be speedily taken. The governor of South
Dakota says that the State must close some
of her institutions at once if bankruptcy is
to be avoided; and the governor of North
Dakota makes a more specific suggestion
that certain of the public schools be closed
until the deficiency is in some way provided
for. This is, indeed, quite different from
the glowing stories we were hearing year
ago about the wonderful wealth and resources
of Dakota and its ability to maintain all the
agencies of healthy State life. Surely a
State that finds itself unable to support all
the schools that are needed can hardly be
considered to be proving itself worthy of the
privilege of self-ooyernmeut
