Among these objects are mum Der Of

~ In southwest Minnesota, whence the
Indians Of North America have got the
material for their pipes since very an
cient days, long before Columbus landed
upon this continent From that time
down 70 the present the working OF this
same mineral deposit has been kept up
continuously, even the savage Sioux
travelling annually two hundred miles
70 spend month at the quarry. For
centuries the place was regarded as
sacred and all tribes met there, pre-
serving peace religiously while on the
spot, says the Washington Star.
For miles around the quarry the
plains are covered with the rings which
mark the sites where Indian lodges
were once established. and everywher
are scattered fragments of pipestone,
representing the waste OF manufacture.
This material seems 10 have been Sc
lected by the savages because of its
beauty and softness when fresh. The
latter quality renders 1t easy to carve,
while subsequently it becomes extreme
~ hard. Its color is an exquisite "In-
dian red"
Much Of the carving work done on the
pipes is of highly artistic quality. Some

quite precious substance, piece one

described Is about twelve inches in
thickness and seems to be evenly con-
tinuous for An indefinite distance
through the hill. However, only two
inches OF this thickness is of good quail

from grit
OF recent years the Indians have
learned how to inlay the pipes with
silver and other metals. performing this
kind OF work in a manner very artistic.
They do all the pipemalsing, the labor
involved being too great N pay the
white man for his time. White people
buy the pipestone and make many other
articles out of it for sale, from a COM
pictc house down to miniature pieces Of
furniture and trinkcts
The fact that this pipestone quarry
was regarded as sacred is indicated by
extensive photographs on the rocks in
the vicinity Of certain huge powders
found on the spot, representing aborigi-
nal gods and other things OF religious
Significance.

Discussing the Silver Question

Senator Stewart and r. G.. Horn
are debating in the columns OF the
New York Weekly Tribune the fol-
lowing questions:
Should the Government of the
United States at once pass law for
the free and ualimited coinage of
silver?
Should this law provide for the
unlimited coinage of silver dollars
containing 37li grains of pure silver,
or 4l2! grains of standard silver aud
provide that such dollars should be
legal tender for all debts, public and
private?
Should the law be so framed that
after its passage the dollar" of the
United States may legally consist
either OF silver coin containing 4l2l
grains of standard silver, or %. 8
grains of standard gold, aud that
each of these dollars should be treated
rs the standard of values in the
United States?

the fact that but few months have

tended by the United States govern

have resulted Ia an enthusiastic and
universal desire upon the part of the
people of that country to be adequately
repre- sented Mt Chicago. Minister
