RELICS OF THE BUFFALO.

PraIrles Covered with Their Paths-Mak-
ing Commerce Of Their Bones.
After travellers on the Canadian Pa
cific are fairly launched upon the great
plains west Of Manitoba they see many
reminders of the buffalo. Stretching
over the plains as far as the eye can
reach, crossing one another in a perfect
network. are the innumerable paths in
which the buffaloes trod one behind an
other in almost countless numbers.
The little knobs, too, are thiclkly dotted
with buffalo wallows, where the ami
mails had dug up the earth with their
horns and then rolled in the dust, or,
what suited them better, visited the
wallows after q shower, and enjoyed
the luxury Of q mud bath. Here
and there, too, one sees the
skeletons of the noble animal But
not many of them are seen from the
railroad cars, for nearly all the skele-
tons within seven miles Of the track
have been gathered together and
brought to the railroad. where they are
piled up, ready for shipment. At many
of the stations, and in some places far
from the stations, these great piles Of
buffalo bones are heaped They are
laid up as regularly as SO much cord
wood. The piles are about eight feet
high, twelve feet wide, and anywhere
from fifteen to fifty feet long. The outer
layer Ii made by piling up the skulls
with the frontal portion outside, and
within this wall the bones are heaped
promiscuously.
It VIII give an idea of the enormous
quantity Of these skeletons when the
fact II mentioned that within q radius
Of two miles of station on the railroad
10 Prince Albert thirty-eight hundred
skeletons were picked up. Out Of sight
of the railroad track these skeletons
may still be found in countless num-
bers, and the industry of gathering
them win be continued until they have
all been removed from the prairies.
These animals were the victims very
largely Of the Indians. who killed the
stupid beasts frequently only TO get
their tongues, which were esteemed by
the Indians as . particularly delicate
morsel The bones are taken to Chica-,
go and other places where sugur Is re-
fined, are ground up, and play some
part In the work Of refining. A favor

Some Plain Words About BOstOn's FadS BY
Writer OF the Hub.
Boston culture has been SO generally
ridiculed that it is n question If many
intelligent people of other cities have
not almost reached the point of entirely
discrediting its existence. If Boston
culture is q sham it certainly deserves
all the ibuse thathas been heaped upon
It; but as it has I'M existence and Is real
~ powerful factor in the intellectual
development of the Nation, it can af-
ford to smile Mt the fat jokes which
many papers of other cities are so prone
TO publish at its expense. Every intel
hgent citizen of Boston knows that
there is a great deal of literary, scien-
tific and artistic culture, of which we
have q right to be proud, and that there
Is also here, as everywhere, q counter
felt culture which is both silly and con-
temptible.
Why should the man who reads moth
ing but the daily paper and the faces OF
the cards with which he whites away
his evenings at the club lay. claim to the
reverence of the outside world as be-
longing to intellectual boston? Why
should the woman of accidental wealth,
who has hardly education enough to
write n sentence of her native tongue
correctly indulge in Browning and lbsen
fads and fancy herself rs favored OF
Heaven in point Of literary attainmentsf
u Is this false assumption of superior
fly, this hollow pretense and insurer

HOW SAvAGES EAT.
Curious Customs Of semi-Civillzed and
Barbarous Peoples.
In all thoroughly civilized countries
the members of family and their
guests partake Of meals while collected
around central board, but this is not
SO with the majority or even fraction
of the semi-civilized and barbarous ma
tions. The Maldivian Islanders dine
alone, retiring to the most secret parts
of their huts for the purpose of eating
their food. This custom probably arose
among them in an early period in their
history, for fear, perhaps, that another
with equally as sharp an appetite and
more bodily strength would deprive the
feaster of his meal.
The coasters of the Fiji Islands will
not eat until they can sit fiat upon the
ground directly over a triangle made OF
three small fish bones; then they only
handle the food with the left hand.
The inhabitants of the interior Of the
same islands will not partake Of food
while cloud is in sight, especially if
the cloud lies in the west, fearing that
the "Great Air Whale" whose below
ing (thunder) is often heard in that
country, will pounce upon and utterly
snnihilate them for such irreverence.
Unlike the Maldivians, the natives of
We Philippines are sociable to an extra
ordinary degree. Whenever one Of
them finds himself without a companion
to partake of his meal he runs till he
meets with one; and am assured that
however keen his own appetite may be
he will not venture to satisfy it without
o companion.
The natives of Sakaria never partake
of food while on the ground, but sling
the meal into woven grass bag and
mount to the thick foliage at the top OF
some high tree, where the meal is eaten
in solitary silence.
The Otaheiteans, although great low
ers of society and very gentle in then
manners, feed separately from each
other, each particular member of the
family taking his or her basket and
turning with back to all others in the
room.
The Dyaks divide in pairs when the
hour arrives for taking food; the father
and mother ut one platter, two sisters
at one and still two brothers at an
other. When the family is not equally
divided as to sex brother and sister
may eat together, but this must always
be the youngest and Oldest Of the fam
ily.--St. Louis Republic
