INDIAN WOMEN.
Beauty and Originality of Their Artistic
Work.

Beauty and Originality of Their Artistic
Work.
In the frequent wanderings of the
Indian it is the woman who finds the
fuel and carries it on her back to
kindle the fire and cook the food for
the mobile red man." she who pickets
the ponies, makes and breaks camp,
takes the tepees down and loads the
wagons, and performs all work which
we are accustomed TO see performed
by men. The man is merely orna-
mental with them, and it has been
their condition so long that there is
no thought of another state Of things
nor word of complaint.
On the reservations, where they are
at home, they now have for each
family a small log house, and the
women like them better than the
tepee, though we nearly always see a
tepees standing near the house. and
also summer house built OF poles
and green boughs, the same being
used as sleeping apartments during
warm weather, it being impossible
for them to abandon entirely their
free, outdoor life. There is strange
fascination in their free, wandering
life, and those who have, in any way,
been associated with them have been
impressed with the fact that 1t is
much easier to fall into their ways Of
living than to convert them to ours.
In the way OF work, it is wonderful
to see the beauty and originality Of
the designs of their artistic work,
which consist chiefly of bead-work or
buckskin, or covering bottles OF all
shapes with their many-colored beads.
. They tan the buckskin themselves,
and some are adopts in the art.
Among them we find excellent glove
makers. Under all circumstances,
we find them greatly opposed to
speaking the English language, not
even when tbeyseun understand At. per
fectly will they utter a word OF 1t.
The older women, OF course, are with
out education, except in a few in
stances where they have acquired, by
the aid of some educated younger
person, a knowledge of reading In the
Indian language.
Their amusements are few. They
have a great fondness for dancing
and bathing. In public they are
quiet and retiring in manners, but In
their homes use more freedom or
speech and action.

Aduiferaffon.
We read In the Washington Star
that there are many factories In the
United States, particularly In Con-
necticut, which are engaged i'm the
production OF adulterants for sale to
various trades, such as ground cocoa
nut shells for mixing with pepper. IL
Is estimated that there is hardly any
pepper on the market at present
which is not at least three fourths
something else. The manufacture OF
such articles intended for the express
purpose OF swindling customers, often
to the injury Of their health, is I'M
restrained by any legal enactment.
In fact, the sophistication OF foods
has come to be regarded as a part OF
legitimate business" Statements OF
that kind do harm rather than bene-
fit to the cause OF food purity. A half
truth Is usually more injurious than a
full falsehood. The anti-adulteration
effort has enough to contend against
without being further handicapped
by the necessity OF combating and
refuting exaggerated statements made
by its would-be supporters. That
ground cocoanut shells are often mix
Ell with pepper is an unfortunate fact,
but that three-fourths of the pepper
in our markets is counterfeit is equal
ly untrue, as likewise is the
statement that the manufacture of
swindling food frauds is winked at by
our law makers Every reader knows
the Righteousness of stories of this
sort, but only those actually engaged
in ferreting out the frauds referred to
can appreciate the harm done by such
misleading, reckless statements. But
a constant supervision is kept over
food products in this country, and
when, probably, in the near future,
wise congressional legislation is
brought to bear on it, the evil will be
largely mitigated. It's entire sup
preston will not be effected while
manufacturers and shopkeepers are
actuated by covetous greed-nor while
the careful housekeeper, solicitous on
behalf OF limited income, seeks cheap
ness in her household provision in
stead OF wholesome quality. We learn
from Washington that a report,
which our correspondent states will
be OF "a rather startling nature" is
about to be issued by the Department
Of Agriculture on the adulteration Of
coffee and tea. The former appears
now to be chiefly sophisticated by the
substitution for the real beans of ar
tiflcial ones nodded from compost
tions made of clay, condensed milk
and other materials. Secretary Rusk
will urge the importance of exclud-
ing these and other limitations from
importation to this country by the
passage of law shutting out articles
palpably intended for the Justification
OF food. The beans are manufactured
by wholesale in Germany and sold
here for ten cents pound. From
Utrecht, also, are now coming large
quantities of artificial almonds, made
from glucose paste. They are shaped
and colored by machines, being final

singular Instance Of Longevity.

A certain hous sbreaker was condemned
in the latter part of the last century in

made his appearance in his own nntive
provinced at the advanced age of one hum
dred and twenty, he being about twenty
years of age when the sentence which
cundemned him TO 81 dreadful punish
ment was passed. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive what the feelings must have been
with which he returned, as soon as en-
nncipated from the shackles which had
enthralled him for century, to breathe
once more the cherished air OF the scenes
Of his infancy. Bourg, in the depart
ment of Ain, was his native home; but
time had so much changed the aspect of
the whole place that he recognized it
only by the old church Of Brou, which
was the only thing that had undergone
no alteration. lie had triumphed over
laws, bondage, man, time, everything.
Not relation had he left, not a single
being could he hail as an acquaintance;

had forgotten everything connected with
