pearl for buttons and ornamentation,
and some the gem. The latter is SIM

Don't go to Canada.

h 20" oOtS tFT.
The startling growth of the debt Of
Canada, which has increased from $751;
2o9, 742 in 1870 to $23s, 00O,O 1000 in 1890,
with q population about at q standstill
and q stagnant trade, is stirring that
country to its depth. Free comment is
made about these matters, and attention
is now drawn to the fact that while the
United States government has reduced
it's. debt from $50 to. $16.50 per head
in twenty years. Canada has run up hers
from $21 to e47, and the results or re.
turns do not compensate for the vast
ness of the new debt, with its oppressive
load Of interest. No. wonder young and
enterprising, Canadians CONE. to the
Northwest to make homes. Dakotans
who are possessed of the idea that they
can better their condition in Manitoba
or the Canadian northwestern territories
are invited to consider these facts before
going to . country that is being aban-
doned by ito own people and getting
deeper into debt every year.

WINNING A BRIDE.
What q Tribe of CnnnibaIs Decree "a the
Price,


Price.
On the lower Amazon dwell the
cannibai Butocudos, who distort their
features with the biggest ornaments
of a certain kind known. In baby
hood both men ana women have their
lower lips and the lobes of their ears
pierced with holes. in which are thrust
pieces Of wood. AS they grow older
these wooden adornments are made
bigger and bigger until an adult ordin-
arily has car lobes that hang down to
the shoulders and a lip that projects
six inches or more beyond the nose.
One must suffer to be beautiful, as the
French say. and such is the inexorable
fashion among those anthropophagi.
In that country a young man who de-
sires to take a wife must first submit
himself to a frlghtful ordeal. He
draws over each arm up to the
shoulder a loose armlet woven OF
palm leaves.
Then, under supervision by his
elders. he plunges both arms as far as
he can into a nest of fierce devouring
ants. The insects at once attack the
intruder, of course. and according to
the terms of the trial he must stand
without moving for an hour, submit
ting with absolute stoicism to the bites
of the enraged creatures. Ii he en-
durcs the test he is entitled to the
bride, otherwise he must wait for a
year and then undergo it again.
There are still tribes descended from
the ancient Incas which bandage the
heads of their children SO that they
assume a conical form. Funnily enough
the brain does not seem to suffer any
injury from this treatment. -Phila-

the heats were three in number and

Then Starr would let the whip fall, and
with a mighty burst. the Californian
would go under the wire winner of the

was phenomenal for q new track. though

SANTIAGO: Oct. 26.-The United
States government today through Min
lister Egan formerly demanded repara.
ton from the government of Chill for
the attack recently made in Valparaiso
upon a number of seamen of the United
States Cruiser Baltimore. The demand
made by the United States minister is
no informal suggestion thatthe govern
ment at Washington expects some kind
of satisfaction for the killing and
wounding of the Baltimore's sailors.
The notification is given according to
the directions received by the Estate de-
partment at Washington; that the
United States demands immediate ex-
PLANTATION of the whole affair and repair
alton for the injuries inflicted. Acting
upon instructions sent to him from
Washington, Minister Egan presented
Chilian junta with detailed statements
of the results of the Investigation made
by Captain Schley, of the Baltimore,
and by Egan himself. After giving a
few of the list of the Baltimore's crew
who were
INJURED BY THE MOB,
Egan's statement called attention to
the fact that thirty-6ve of the cruisers
crew were, on the day Of the riots. ar
rested, unnecessary violence being
used by the police, and that
they were taken into custody
without due course. After making
a brief but pointed summary of the
facts to which he had been in
structed to call attention, Minister
E8an informed the representatives OF
the junta that in the name of the
United States he demanded reparation
for the insults and injuries complained of.
Now the question is, what will be the
action of the Chilian government. It
appears nov that there seems to be no
doubt that the junta will soon make the
reparation demanded. The notoriety of
the action taken today by Minister
Egan is attracting the attention of for
eign ministers and foreigners generally
residing in this republic. The sympa-
thy of the American colony is entirely
with Captain Schley and his blue jack
cts, and they are one and all glad to re.
ceive the news published today, that
another United States War vessel, the
Boston, had actually sailed for these
waters. The Chilians try to smooth
over the assault on and imprisonment of
American sailors by olassing it rs aisim.

the junta has expressed no regret for
the attack madeo on the American sailors.

to be that the New Zealand authorities
entertain the idea of improvement Of

to the stipulations of the postal subsidy
