IROQUOIS VIGNAM.
The Six Nations Represent.
ed at the Fair in True
Aboriginal Sty1e-Iro-
quois of Today.

The Empire State did a great thing when
she added the Iroquois village to the ethno-
logical exhibit ct the Worlds fair and
charged herself with the maintenance Of
the representatives of the Six Nations whom
she sent hither to illustrate the manners
and customs of their fathers in the time of
Columbus. The village is down on the
shore of the south pond, near the Forestry
building, and its wigwams of Eastwood
bark rooted with elm, its council house and
its stockades are faithful reproductions of
the primitive structures of 100 years ago.
The Indians, too, of whom there are
about 20, are dressed as their ancestors
dressed-in buckskin garments, heavy with
fringes and sewn with sinews of the deer.
Each Of the famous Six Nations has sent
representatives. Senecas, Oneidas, Cayu-
gas, O~nondagas, Mohawks and Tuscaroras
meet for powwows in the council house, as
their ancestors did, though they do not
conduct their deliberations in the language
their ancestors used. A drcll effect of To-
eating the different nations on separate res
eryations is seen in the fact that they can
not communicate with each other in their
native dialects, but are compelled to use
English.
The Indians are most of them aristocrats
in their tribes and collectively represent
the best blue blood of the ~Iroquois. Red

LITE SAVING DRILL.

Skulls. scorpions, tarantulas, rattle
snakes, horned toads and ella monsters are
not usually considered humorous things,
but it is hard to avoid smiling at them
when they are seen among the curios of the
dead letter office in the postofice exhibit.
They are certainly the deadest kind of dead
mail matter, though not the only dead
things in the exhibit, which includes a team
Of stuffed dogs that used to haul mail in
upper Michigan in the winter. They are
harnessed tandem to q ~toboggan, and be-
side them is a wax figure of the Indian who
drove then arrayed in a heavy wooden COS
tune and snowshoes. There are many 9TH
er curious things in the postofice display,
which is altogether calculated to give one
an increased respect for q 2 cent stamp.
