rance with the Christian mode Of living,
but / believe that the following brief ac-
count of the life of a Wolpai woman will
not only be interesting, but it will prove
that, uncivilized as they and all the North
American Indians are supposed to be,
the women of this tribe are not measur-
ably far behind our American house
wives in either industry, domestic tact
and ability or in morals:
When the child is born, she is prayed
over, after the custom of the tribe, and
then strangely superstitious ceremony
is gone through-viz, the baby is rubbed
with wood ashes in order that her bones
may not become loose" Until she is 10
years old she lives life of perfect child
hood, romping. climbing, playing with
innumerable toys and doing everything
that q civilized child would like to do,
but dare not, AS result the little VOL
pal maiden Of 10 years old is well knit
and robust and has set up natural
foundation Of health with which to be-
gin her life of usefulness.
At this age she dresses like her elder
sisters and is at once led into the secrets
of the kitchen and instructed in the man.
ufacture of baskets, pottery and other
useful wares, and before she is Is she is
skilled in carding and dyeing wool and
in weaving blankets, petticoats and 9TH
or garments. DIR. Shufelst says that
Sin the number Of stews, ragouts and
broths" which Wolpai maiden can
make, ''or in the endless diversity of
hominy, mush. popcorn and pild bread,
she will hold her own with the most in
genious American housewife"
But the most peculiar thing about
these women is the fashion in which
they wear their hair. It is arranged on
both sides Oft head, like the horns of
q mountain sheep, in two enormous
whorls. This is accomplished by wind
ing the hair around some pliable switches
of willow and has most curious effect,
Considerable care is taken in the prepa-
ration of this part of the toilet, and it is
in strange contradistinction to the Gus
toms of the Apaches, Utes and Navajo
Indians, whose hair hangs in unkempt,
loose masses.
After marriage the Wolpai maidens
cease to wear their hair in whorls. It is
then parted in the middle and tied in
a kind of cue, after the same style as
the men. The girls of this tribe choose
their own husbands. In the household,
where everything is clean as new pin,
the wife reigns supreme, and daughters
inherit their mothers property.
The pottery, ornamental basket work
and woven material of this tribe are of
peculiar excellence and would no doubt
fetch high figures in competition with
many Of the commercial products of our
stores. But in the matter of buying and
selling the same custom that is observed
by the Lunis holds here--yiz, no purchase
can be made indoors unless by the con-
sent of the wife. w. F. ROBERTS.

OLIVE HARPER's LETTER.


She Describes Poem Of Bonnet and Re-
veals Toilet Secret.
Especial Correspondence.]
New YORK, May 18.-There are a few
women who like to be original in all they
do, have or wear. There are others who
would never dare TO put on garment
unless some one else had worn similar
one. They are afraid that other folks
would scorn them for iconoclasts. Not
that half of them know what that means,
but they do not want to lead for fear of
making a false step and putting bum
blebee on a bonnet where fashion calls
for dragon fly, or a rose when cabbages
are in style, as they sometimes are. For
tunately we have a few women who are
not too timid to be individual, and who
rather like to lead. Such women re-
deem fashion and dress from conven-
tional commonplace and somehow evolve
an idea with every gown, a fancy with
every wrap and poem with every bon
net.
For didn't see young woman yes
terday, decided looking though pretty
woman, who had wrought a poem with
her hat? 1t was Of rough green straw and
had no ribbon on it, but all over it lay
single violets, each with its green stem.
In some places there would be six or
seven of these lovely flowers, all lying
carelessly there. Some were fastened by
but a thread and hung over the edge Of
the brim as if ready to fall off. Some

Deafness Cannot he Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is only
one way to cure Deafness. and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
in1amed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh

I haven't got quite through with hats
yet, for / wish to mention hat worn by
a lady who does what so admire-gets
her clothes to look in some way like q
picture, or at least to make her look like
one. This hat is just like those worn by
that wicked king who didn't think mar
riage was failure and who didn't be-
ieve il divorce, But the lady wanted
her hat small. ais small hat becomes
her best, and SO it sits upon her golden
hair in its rich beauty, made Of green
velvet, with gold and jeweled buckle
holding pale pink plume.
hardly know whether to say that the
costume matched the hat or the hat the
costume, but the gown was of green vel
vet of the dark myrtle shade, cut prin-
cess and made plain. There was ber-
tina of fine lace ON the neck. The sleeves
were slashed with pale pink satin, and
the dainty little bag that hung by a gold
en- chain was pink also. The gloves were
light green. OLIVE HARPER.

times there would be one little crushed
blossom lying quite alone, and as ! looked
at it I heard the tale it told, and this
was it; ''There was cool, shady, green
place where lot Of purple wood violets
grew. A little child wandered there and
gathered its chubby hands full of the
tender blossoms that it only knew how
to love and not to preserve. It crushed
the sweet flowers in hot little palms and
kissed them to death and finally wan
dered away to find newer pleasures, let
ting the broken and bruised flowers fall
on the grass forgotten"
Rather long story for a hat to tell,
but why not have everything we wear
suggest something pleasant? When we
do not, we sink nearly to the level Of the
savages who wear their strip Of calico
the same the year around, all cut the
same length and shape for old and
young. If we believe, like Walt Whit
man, that we should treat our bodies
with respect. we ought to try to make
our clothes worthy, and can conceive
no worthier way than to make them
something more than mere coverings.
Other hats | have seen this week.
Some of them were SO pretty, but mono
SO poetic as the first mentioned. There
was hat for girl Of IL. all lace and
shirred lawn, with shirred and pinked
lining Of pale pink forentine silk. On
the top was a many looped bow Of rib
bon in avery tiny brocaded rosebud pat
tern. The hat was large and formed al
together by the reeds in the shirring.
Right here let me mention that lady
of my acquaintance, whose flesh was 50
firm and fair that every one longed to
discover her secret, always kept a pint
bottle, in which an ounce of alum was
dissolved in a pint of rainwater, on her
dressing table, and she used to moisten
part of her face every day and night
with it and also rub little under her
eyes. It is very simple to make and very
sure and quite harmless.
