The world has grown very liberal in the

shown largely in the discarding of the
old idea that religion means asceticism.
There is no good reason why preacher

A Squaw sC ..'ected of Being "a Witch
Cut to Pieces.

A correspondent of the Reno Journal
writes that the Flutes near Lovelocks
killed squaw known as Carson
Cbarley's wife last Thursday. They
first Knocked her on the head with
hatcht and cut her throat. Then they
cut the body in pieces, which they put in
barley sacks and carried off to the noun
tains. The Indians suspeced the woman
was witch, and they accused her of
causing sickness in the tribe. The rela-
tives Of the sick having decided that
Charley's wife had bewitched them,
butchered her as described, in accord
ance with the custom Of the tribe.
Several instances of this character are
known to have taken place in Nevada
since its settlement by the whites, but
the authorities rarely interfere. Perhaps
if the method adopted by the governor Of
Massachusetts, in Colonial days to pre-.
vent the hanging and burning of witches
was introduced among the Indians it
might have beneficial effect. 1t was tc
punish the accused and accuser exactly
alike. Make an Indian understand that
if he accuses another of being witch,
and the witch is Killed, he will suffer the
same penalty, and such butcheres as
that at Loyelocks will cease.

FOREIGN MINIS rERs.

Since the recall of Baron de Fava, the
Italian minister, from Washington, and
the fact has been demonstrated that the
country gets along just as well without
him, the Question OF Dispensing with
ministers at foreign courts is being dis
cussed. 1t was agitated years ago by
the leading New York papers, which
held that they are as useless as a fifth
, wheel would be to a wagon. What
benefit do the people OF the United
States derive from the expenditure OF
hundreds Of thousands of dollars an
nually for maintaining legations at for.

voy could be sent to the seat of govern
ment Of any civilized government in a
week or two. The custom was estab.
lished in the days when the news was
conveyed by couriers, and each despot
kept an agent at the capital OF every
other whom it feared. The United
States fears no other country, but the
custom established by mcnarchies is adj

make places for the benchmen OF who

Stanley writes in Scribner's Magazine
more fully than he has done elsewhere
about the wonderful pigmies he dis
covered in Central Africa. He says that
many questions have been asked him
concerning these strange little people.
among others whether they possessed
reasoning faculties and whether they
were real human beings. And when
ever ! hRar such nueStions.n writes the
explorer, Il mentally say, Truly I SEQ
no difference between the civilized man
and the pigmy."
Herodotus first wrote of the dwarf
people of Africa. No modern learned
persons believed him, however. They
were too wise for old Herodotus, and
put the story down az one of his super
stitions. Finally Schweinfurth and Pi-
aggia declared they really did exist, just
as the father of history had said. But
all doubt was positively cleared up
when, on his journey to rescue Emin
Pasha, Stanley actually met with, capt
ured and secured photographs of some
of the strange pigmies of the great for
est.
In height they range from 80 inches to
1 feet 4 inches. They are as wild as it
is possible for a human being TO be, not
practicing the art of agriculture in even
its rudest form. They hunt and live on
wild fruits and berries and the game
they catch. The little monsters shoot
their enemies with tiny poisoned arrows,
which cause blood poisoning and death,
attended with frightful suffering. To
their other admirable qualities they add
that of ca%nnibalism. Stanley describes
them thus:
The Zanzibar boys OF "a and IS years would
often range themselves alongside Of the dwarf
men to measure themselves, and would manifest
with loud laughter their pleasure at the discovery
that there were fathers Of families In existence
not so tail as they.
We had heard reports that the pigmy warriors
were distinguished for the length of their boards,
but / only saw one who could be said to have "a
beard Their bodies, however, were covered
with a brown fell long enough to be easily seized
with the fingers
Among the pigmies there ARE two distinct types.
differing widely from one another. One is a clear,
light bronze in color. the other Is much darker,
almost black. The former is distinguished by an
open look-the eyes are far apart, large, pro-
tuberant, and Of a brilliant, flashing, limpid black,
reminding one OF the eyes OF gazelles; the skin on
the face of youth has tGs sheen of old yellow
ivory, that on the body is OF a sober light brown.
The darker race are distinguished for great prog
nathy Of jaw, tapering at the chin almost to a
point; the eyes are deeply set and close together;
the nasal bridge greatly sunk. They have mar
row, rctreating foreheads, projecting lips, the
ssin u the body is rough, and the fell is very
mhrkeHt But both are specially distinguished for
their small delicate hands, taper fingers and mar
row, highly nraiird feet.

safety on nsiiroad rra,A..

Some time ago railroad men engaged
IN r discussion through the newspapers
about the safest position for a traveller
to assume when on a train. and it seemed
to be agreed finally that the person who
took a seat on the right hand side of the
middle car of the train, in a seat as neal
the middle as possible, would have a bet
ter chance of escaping injury in an acct
lent than one who sat somewhere else.
81 never was satisfied that there was
anything in that theory" says A. d.
Martin, a st. Louis travelling man, ''but
it is astonishing TO notice how many
people believe in it. You see the effects
OF the publication everywhere you go on
railway train. People crowd the mid.
die car Ola train, and get on the right
hand and as near the middle of the car
as they can, 1 have seen on the Iron
Mountain the seats on the right hand
side of the car crowded, although it was
sunny there, while the seats on the other
aide were nearly empty."-St. Louis
