INDIAN WOMEN.
Beauty and Originality of Their Artistic
Morn.

BCautN ana originality Oh lhCtf AfuSIfS
Wora.
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
tepae, though we nearly always see Il
tepce standing near the house, and
also summer house built of poles
and green boughs, the same being
used rs sleeping apartments during
warm weather, it being impossible
for them TO abandon entirely their
free, outdoor life. There is Il 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 it is
much easier to fall into their ways of
living than to convert them to ours.
In the way of work, ii is wonderful
/ to see the beauty and originality of
the designs of their artistic work,
which consist chiefly of bead-worll or
4 huckskin, or covering bottles of all
shapes with their many-colored beads.
! They tan the buckSkin themselves,
and some are adopts in the art.
4 Among them we find excellent glove
1 makers. Under all circumstances,
we find them greatly opposed to
speaking the English language, not
even when they understand it per-
fectly will they utter word of it.
/ The older women, of course, are with
out education, except in few in
stances where they have acquired, by
the aid of some educated younger
person, knowledge of reading in the
4 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
3 their homes use more freedom of
speech and action.

ARTIFICIAL ALMONDS.
A New Field for the RascaIly Practice of
AduIteration.

n New Field for the Rascaly Pract1co Oh
Adulteration.
We read in the Washington Star
that there are many factories in the
United States, particularly in Con-
necticut, which are engaged in the
production Of adulterants for sale to
various trades, such as ground cocoa
nut Shells for mixing with pepper. 1t
is estimated that there is hardly any
pepper on the market at present
which is not at least thrce-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 benc-
fit to the cause Of food purity. A half
truth is usually more injurious than q
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
cd with pepper is an unfortunate fact,
but that three-fOurthS Of the pepper
in our markets is counterfeit is equal
" untrue, rs likewise Is the
statement that the manufacture Of
swindling food frauds is winkcd at by
our law makers. Every reader knows
the Righteousness Of stories Of this
sort, but only those actually engaged
in fcrrcting out the frauds referred to
can appreciate the harm done bySuch
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. Its entire sup
preston will not be effected while
manufacturers and shopkeepers are
actuatcd by cOvctOus greed--nor while
the careful hOusekecper, solicitouS on
behalf Of limited income, seeks cheap
ness in her household provision in
stead Of wholesome quality. We learn
from Washington that report,

quantities of artificial almonds, made

The Wny of 1t.

When most pretty girls reach 10,
they become engaged to some poor
young man, and, as he hasn't the
money to marry on, they wait until
he has saved it, The waiting pro-
cess is long and tireSome one.
While the young man is havinga good
time. spending 80 cents and saving 10
cents for his marriage, the girl is
growinga little older, a little palmer,
a little more carewOrn, and wasting
her youth in waiting for man who
in most cases finds some one more at
tractiye, and breaks the engagement.
If girls will look around at thesgreat
number of girls who have ''waited"
for some poor man to their sorrow,
they will probably hesitate before en-
tering into an engagement that
promises to be long and fruitless, and
that leaves them worn out, and With
no faith in human nature at the end.
Very often girl who is waiting for a
young man to become rich, throws
away the real opportunity of her life;
very often she is a slave to the caprice
Of man who finally deserts her.
Very often under such circumstances
a woman gets a wrong idea of life,
and accuses the world OF faults it. is
not guilty or. In a way men take
very good care Of themselves, for the
reason that they accept the lessons of
life, hard though they sometimes are,
but women make the mistake Of
trusting too much, and suffering need
lessly for it.-Atchison Globe.

The frst Of January has passed. The
day that was looked forward to with so
much apprehension by the business
world has come and gone, and without
the wreck and ruin that the bears in the
stock gambling world 50 confidently pre-
dicted. This is just what the newspapers
Of the country, unaffected by the New
York stock gambling shops, have all
along asserted. The country has been
prosperous trade mas been good, there
is scarcely a merchant who will not say
that his receipts have been greater this
year thsn for the corresponding period
last year, and labor has been generally
employed. Why, then, should there be q
financial panic? 1t is true, men are fail
ing in business constantly. But SO have
they ever since business between man
and man was first established, and so
they viii until the end Of time. Il must
not be overlooked, too, that the promi-
nent failures in our own State were not
business fsiIuTea They were failures
growing directly on. Of unfortunate spec
ulations. And the bank balances to-day
are larger than at any time in years. No
one distrusts the banks. now. Every
bank in Pennsylyanis that was forced to
suspend during the past three months
has resumed, save one, and that a small
one. The future. therefore, has bright
outlook for business, and the spring will
open with a coed trade. Confidence,
that is The very heart Of business, and
that seemed TO be sadly shaken a few
weeks ago, is again restored, and every
body is preparing FOR a business boom.
Let every one help ibe good work along
by cheerful and not gloomy auiicipa-
tions.-Har1isburg Telegraph.

SAYS the New York Mail and Express
The present Indian troubles in the North
west have called attention to the fact
that we have not less than 5000 Indians
in the State OF New York. Nearly 10000
acres are set apart for the various tribes,
who still retain their separate identity.
There are $50 Indians on the 0nadoga
reservation near Syracuse; 500 on the
Tonawanda reservation, and as many
more on the Tuscarora reservation near
Niagara Falls. The 0neislas are very
few in number now and are scattered,
while ON the Shinnecock reservation on
Long Island there are about l50 The
balance, some 5000, are scattered along
the Canadian and Pennsylvania borders,
including the Senecas and ST. Regis
tribes.

The murder Of young Matthews, tie
Republican postmaster at CArroliton,
Miss, having been q political one, the
ex-rebels in Mississippi are enrsged that
their villainy has been exposed. Espec-
tally is their hatred manifest toward a
reporter of the Chicago Tribune who was
sent South TO investigate the Matthews
murder. He wrote an account of it from
a purely disiRterested standpoint, and
his revelations so incensed the Missis-
sippi rebels that they have arrested him
on trumped-up charge, and it is feared
he will be lynched unless some action is
not soon taken to secure his release. This
is the same old Mississippi where the
man who dare call his life his own is
marked for death.

The stars and Stripes are the embiems
of peace as well as power. Various cities
have ordered the flag foated over their
school houses. Heretofore the United
States flag has floated from the wings of
the Capitol at Washington only when
the Senate and House were in session.
Hereafter it is proposed to float the flag
from the center of the Capitol and on
both sides, all the year round. Every
public building in the country should be
similarly designated. We can not have
Zoo much of the flag.
