Face Painting Among Indians.

There is remarkable paucity of
information on the subject of face
painting in the books that purport to
tell of the manners and customs of
Indians. While it's origin has been
lost in the mist of ages, there is not a
line or mark painted on an Indians
face but has meaning, full and
complete. Not only is this true, but
the marks are Interchangeable and con-
slant in the tribe from generation to
generation, and are laid on with ut
most exactness and greatest of care.
The markings are OF two kinds, tribal
and individual. All tribes have pc
culiar markings for war paint, or for
any ceremony that is to be perform
ed, and when an Indian has finished
the tribal decoration he places his
own private mark in conspicuous
place. This is his family totem or
it's representative.
When / was with the Sioux it was
my fortune to witness the ceremonies
attendant upon the application of
war paint. A band of Crows had
driven of number of horses of the
Sioux, and the Teton chief decided
that it called for retaliation. The
men who were to take part in the raid
assembled about the fire and sang
and danced until late in the night.
A large amount of red ochre had been
obtained from the ferruginous clay of
the bad lands, and after this was
mixed to q proper consistency the
chief dipped quantity with his left
hand and carefully smeared his face
with it from his eyes down, smooth
ing it evenly all over the lower part
of the face, leaving the forehead un-
touched. As he did this he bowed to
the fire and said: "As the fire has no
mercy, SO should we have none."
One by one the warriors stepped ND
and went through this ceremony, and
then the chief placed O small patch
of mud under each eye, saying: my
little grandfather is very dangerous
as he makes his attempts. Very
close do stand as / 60 to the at
tack" The little grandfather"
means young buffalo bull, which
the Tetons believe to have been the
original progenator of the tribe.
When the buffalo enters into fight
he cores the earth and gets mud on
his cheeks. Following the chief
again, the other members Of the party
put the patch of mud on their cheeks,
repeating the formula, and then each
man took from his private paint
pouch bit OF charcoal and painted
his individual totem sign on his face.
When this was done all were ready
for the battle.-[Globe- Democrat.

back into the house and 10 Aunt

letter.
Dear Aunt Jean. At the first sight
Of the handwriting she fell a-fainting
like an aspen leaf, and-well, when !

answer to that letter. ] don't know
what 1t was not much, ! know, only
q few words; but Walter took them
to the old gentleman, and
Aunt Caroline had to 60 to bed. 1t
was too much for her to take in all

blessed old DIR. Fairfax walk straight
into the sitting-room where Aunt
Jean was, and take her into his

No. And she didn't see the light in

and the sweetest blush in her pretty
soft cheeks. Yes; that was the
trouble-the letter that never came.
Two proud, loving hearts kept apart
