In presenting to our lady readers this
series Of articles on first class dressmak-
: ing ms II ~ done abroad and by the best
modistes Of this country we believe we
are doing them a lasting favor and one
which will assist them in becoming ac-
complished dressmakers, so that, no matter
how remote from the seat Of fashion, no
lady need wear garments that bear the
unmistakable seal of country" about
them, and they may, II occasion requires,
earn respectable livelihood at home.
These directions and diagrams are sub
stantially the same rs those employed by
the great man dressmaker OF Paris, and
the fundamental principles are exactly the
same. The lady who reads this series OF
six articles Is advised TO cut them out and
paste them in book for reference, and she
will have something which would cost her
twenty dollars TO buy-the price Of the
systems" No mechanical system"
however, can approach this in simplicity

THEY WEAR DRIED HEADS.

The Napo Indians In South America and
Their Curious Taste.
"a remarka BILE tribe of Indians, said
Mr.. Childs, who was recently in South
America, ARE the Napos, who live in
the northern part OF. Chill. Instead of
wearing scalps at their belts as trophies,
like the American savages, the heads of
their enemies dangle at their girdles.
BY mysterious process known only to
themselves they remove all the facial
and Uranium bones without cutting the
skin or destroying the interior. The
head is then reduced, without manning
any of the features, to the size of a
mans fist =
Mr. Childs brought one of these heads
with him and he intends toput it in the
museum of the Carnegie library here.
In San Francisco he, showed it to the
County Medical society and the doctors
offered him 81 900 for it. He said no
sum of money would buy it. He
thinks there is one in THE Smithsonian
Institution, and outside of his own he
doesn't believe there is another in the
United States. The Indians discovered
they could sell the heads to the
whites at good price, and to pre-
vent them from Turing people into
the mountains and killing them or
numbering the agrd of their tribe and
preparing their heads. a law was passed
prohibiting their sale Through the
kindness of Gen. Caamano and Gen.
Sorsby the American consut-general to
Ecuador, Mr.. Childs secured the head.
He says Gen. Sorsby has eight orders
for heads from museums and colleges In
the United States, and he is afraid he
will not be able to get them.
The head and face that Mr.. Childs
has is not as large as a, baseball. BY
the secret process the homes were re
moved and the features reduced. All
the hair on the original head is still
there. 1t is long and black, and prob
ably reached to the shoulders. The
Indians put a string through the slir
for every enemy they. had slain. This
head has four strings in the lip, and the
mouth is drawn out of shape. The
microscope reveals the pores of the
skin, greatly crowded together.
The head was cut off even with the
shoulders, and there is a hole, in the
windpipe, directly under the chin
where the victim was. evidently stabbed
A number of people have looked at the
head, and all 4are puzzled how it was

THE M'kiMEY ACT.
Trying to Prove That High Prices Are .
Blessing In Disguise.

Trying to Prove That High Prices Are .
Blessing In Disguise.
One has only to admit the accuracy
of current republican claims to be con-
WINGED that the Mckinley act Should be
classified not with laws but with mir
acles.
It was passed originally ito sustain
prices" Fat was fried out of manufac-
turers on this theory, Maj Mckinley
gave all his energies in one campaign
to the task of proving that high prices
are blessing somewhat disguised, and
even President Harrison ventured, the
assertion that "a cheap coat made 1
cheap man.
Now Senator Aldrich labors earnest
ly to prove that the act did not increase
prices, from which we assume that the
cheap coat, cheap-man" idea has been
relegated to the party garnet.
Again the bin was designed ITO re-
duce imports" and there was much ado
about "home markets for home manu-
! facturcrs," America for Americans
and other expressions of patriotism
thought to be very effective.
Now the Maine convention that res
nominated Mr.. Reed pops up with the
jubilant assertion that ''our imports
have increased to a point never before
reached"
That miraculous is none too strong
an adjective for the Mckinley act we
think no longer admits of doubt.--N.

The republican claim that quite a.

ing the recent session of congress as
was indulged in by the much criticised
Fifty-first congress has been met by
certain democratic statements and
comparisons. Mr.. Holman. chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tious, shows that the amount appropri-
ated at the late session was actually
less by more than S33, 500, 600 than the
appropriations Of the preceding ses-
sion, when no river and harbor bill
was passed. Leaving out the river and
harbor appropriation, the comparison
shows over S54,eOo.OOO in favor of the

could have been eliminated the total

Hard life OF tho Fishermen on the Banks

The fisherman's life on the Banks and
the Georges in winter is a very hard one,
though they live we'll on board-better
than on shore. They have to, that they
may stand the excessive cold; and their
pay is like their lives, floating doubt.
The voyage is made on shares. From

fourth of one per, cent. for the widoWs'

stock rs it is called, goes to the
owners of the vessel, the other half to
the crew, from which is deducted each
mans share of the crews expenses; that
is, cooks wages, water, medicine chest,
etc. They sail away full of hope, and
with full larder. Arrived ON the
grounds they anchor in about forty or
fifty fathoms, and set their travis.
These are long lines, anchored on the
bottom and extending out from the
schooner many hundreds of yards. To
these, at intervals of a fathom 1.-THE
distance varies for different fish), are
attached shorter lines: These lines

haunts them; and then-death. Some
times they make land or are picked up

Desperate Resorts of the Doomed Re-

The advice of some republican organs
that President Harrison should re-
pudate and put aside the, force bill
issue in his expected letter of accept
ancc, shows the desperate straits in
which the doomed organization finds
itself. 1t is asking of Harrison some
thing beyond the power of his accomp-
,lishinent He is capable of accepting
or rejecting anything that promises adj
iitional strength to his candidacy, but
he cannot put aside. the Platform
adopted by the delegated authority as
sembled at Minneapolis. Even could
he compass this feat there would re-
main the aftterTy impossible one Of
turning down the dominant elementsin
his party. 1t, holds higher than any
other consideration the. possibility of
retaining power and making frmer its
grip upon the affairs Of the country,
1t IS unrcstraincd by the fact that the
entire country is now one and that
loyalty IS the common possession Of
our united citizenship. II has kept alive
the spirit of scctionalism and, for party
purposes, declined to recognize the
