reservation Indians, residing as wards
of the nation on 1919 different reserva-
tions, in twenty states and territories.
These reservati N Indians own S13,-
664, 518 worth of horses, mules, swine,
sheep and domestic fowls, which with
their other property, and the trust
funds owned by many of their tribes,
place them far beyond the reach of
want. The non-reservation Indians,
of which there are 10, III, are in an
even more enviable condition. All
are immensely rich as tribes, and the
degree of enlightenment and civilt-
zation they have attained is a revela-
ton.
A little remnant tribe of Delawares,
descendants of the old Leni-Lenape,
now residing among the Kiowas and
Comanches in Oklahoma, and mum ber-
ing only ninety five, havein the United
States treasury the sum of S874, 1856,
which is SO, 3O2 in cold cash for every
man, woman and pappoose of them,
besides eighty acres each of land and
horses, stock houses and other prop
erty. They are probably the richest
of all the Indians, their wealth in trust
funds and land alone being $l1, ,20z per
capita.
The inhabitants of the British ISL
ands have of pr capita wealth only
1896. The French have only S1,102.
Close after the French are the Hol-
landers, with a per capita wealth of
81 ,OSS, and the wealth of our own peo-
pie in the United Stat S is set down at
81, ,O29.
Next to the Della" ares are the

The five civilized tribes inha biting
the Indian territory the Choctaws,
Chiekasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and
SeminoIes constituting, as stated, a
population of co. souls, have more

chiefly held in common by each tribe,

The SQuaw Dance.

Harry l. Ireland, clever Philadel-
phian whose forte is advertisement
writing, returned last Monday from
a trip TO Alaska. In the course OF a
conversation the other day, talk
turned on stage dancing. Well, I've
seen every form of it, said Mr.. Ire

dancers SWISH, the buck dancers
wing, the ballet girls pirouette, the
eastern girls wriggle. and goodness
only knows what others But the
most original dance ] ever saw was
the squaw dance of the Alaskan In
diana. The braves range themselves
in a circle and beat on drums and dole
out a weird song, while the squsws,
perfectly nude, hop around and hit
each other with fresh salmon. The
dance keeps up for about two hours,
and when it is finished the squaws
present an odd sight, for the salmon's
scales have come of with each re-
sounding whack administered. and the
Indian ladies resemble duskY mer-
maids-scaled from head to foot -

complished wonders in a decorative

Another $1.2 paid for two long, fancy
brass screws and four brass handles
And white enamel paint was cheap.
On the back of the ta BILE she firmly
nailed two strong wooden bars, far
enough apart to allow her to screw
between them a mirror. Then she
painted the table and the sticks,
screwed in an old mirror with gay,
white wood frame, by means of her
brass screws, put brass handles on thu
drawers, and proudly stated that she

The other table was also treated to
. coat or two of white paint and was
placed against the wall just beneath
set of homemade white book
shelves. An obliging carpenter made
small set of pigeon-holes to 6t on
the back of the. table beneath the
books and this was also painted white.

Mrs. Henry Barroillhet She is the
widow of a San Francisco banker,
who gave up his entire fortune on the
failure of his bank At his death,
says the New York Sun, his wife set
to work to supply flowers to the San
Francisco markets, and she now owns
40 acres of find land, all under culti-
vation. Seven acres are in orchards,
and there is an immense violet bed,
twenty acres in extent. There are
seven acres of chrysanthemums; roses,
lilies and other flowers divide good
many more acres between them. Two
thousand eucalyptus trees and 5000
pines, sequoias, and other trees are
very: profitable, the branches and
leaves serving for decorations. Every
day during their respective seasons
5000 chrysanthemums, 1000 bunches
of violets, and 500 to 1000 DucheSse
de Brabant roses are shipped to the
city. Hundreds of other flowers, of
course, go with them in fragrant COM
pany, but the speciaIties are violets at
81 so per dozen punches, and chrys-
anthemums at from one to five cents
apiece. Last season there were 1s, 1000
chrysanthemugn plants in bloom, IN

ChIldren.s Hair.

The hair of children should never be
shingled, says an authority. referring
to the to-and-fro motion Of the shears
used by BARRIERS in cutting hair, ''as
that tears and hardens the hair. The
hair of children, whether they be boys
or girls, should be kept short until
the seventh or eighth year, as the
growing hair is drain upon the nu-
triton of the body, and at this time
of life all the nutritive forces should
be expended in the growth of muscle
and bone. The hair of q girl, after
she has reached her eighth year,
should be allowed to grow, rs the less
the hair is cut the softer and more
beautiful It In
