polyandry, it's opposite. They have
no honor nor shame, no ambition, no
envy, no particular object in living,
and no hope of a future life.
Before the Spaniards came they were
extremely healthful.
The Indian maiden makes her debut
by the roasting process. A hole in the
ground about three by six feet is filled
with stones, over which a fire is built.
When the stones are red hot the fire is
removed, and over them is spread a
bed of wet leaves. The debutantes
are placed upon this bed, by no means
one of roses, and another layer of green
boughs is spread over them. They re-
main in this inferno pit three or four
hours, occasionally peeking out for
fresh air, laughing and talking, per-
haps proud of this ordeal which is be-
lieved to aid their maturity.
Troops of old squaws, with their
bodies and faces painted in various de-
signs, encircle this barbecueing pit, and
accompany their chant with walk
around, hippetty-hop dance, which
would seem to aggravate the tortures
of the premature candidates for mat
rimony. This strange custom is prac-
ticed principally by the Indians of the
San Juan Capistrano valley.
Their marriage ceremony is informal

not blush, and frequently she gives
herself away. Every year is a leap
year, and the maiden proposes if the
young brave is too timid, but, like the
paleface squaw, she generally knows
that she has landed her game. If re-
fused, she is not scandalized. There
are no long engagements. The bride,
arrayed in her best skirt and orna-
ments of shells and beads, is brought
by her father to the brave bridegroom,
who sits in state in an improvised
arbor. He takes her by the hand and
she sits by his side. A circle is formed
and all dance excepting the happy
couple. The bride is stripped of her
ornaments by the squaws, who divide
them-a reversal of the paleface sys-
tenn of giving presents to the bridal
couple. This completes the ceremony.
If either becomes dissatisfied they
separate. The divorce is very informal

CALIFORNIA INDIANS.
A Degraded, Filthy Lot Of Super
stirious Creatures.
Even Cooper Could Have Found Nothing
Romantic About Them-POlygamy
Hardly Less Popular Than
Polyandry.
Especial Los Angeles CCall Letter.1

The California Indian differs from
the brave of any other tribe or species.
His nature is modified by the balmy
climate, and he only lives to dream or
sleep. He lives in state of nature.
In the spring and summer they camp
in the canyons or in the glens along
the pretty streams, living not in clo-
yer, but upon it, also upon such grass
es and herbage as the well watered
valleys and luxuriant plains produce.
In the fall season they desert their
summer resorts" for the foothills and
mountains, where nuts and berries are
abundant. When nature is bountiful,
they live high; when there is drought,
and q consequent scarcity of nuts,
acorns and game, they fast. They de-
pend upon what chance throws in their
way, and no matter how plentiful the
crop may be one season, they make no
provision for the next, and if the crop
is short there is a panic.
They are too lazy to be vicious-even
their amusements are of the kind that
demand little or no physical exertion.
They seek food only when hungry, and
cease when they have had their fill
They have no regular hours for meals,
but eat when hungly-if they have
food. If not, they go and dig" After
a full meal an Indian will sprawl upon
the ground, upon his face, and remain
for hours, sleeping, dreaming or in a
state of mental inactivity, waiting for
time to pass. The squaws prepare the
frugal meal by pounding acorns and
nuts on fiat rock, something like the
Mexican metate. The meal is knead cd
into dough, fashioned into thin cakes,
and cooked on rocks. A cruel is made
by putting the same meal into water
tight basket half filed with water, and
then putting in heated stones. Then
the water is turned out, the rocks
rolled away and the braves go for the
soup. Salt is not used, as they believe
it causes the bones of the body to de-
cay.
Some time ago mills were introduced
for the grinding of the meal-one mill
The Bossier banner., 1894-01-04

performing as much work as twenty
five squaws in the same space of time.
The priests at the mission discouraged
this innovation, "as they did all others,
leading the Indians to believe that the
cakes were sweeter when pounded out
on the fiat rock.
The conquering Spaniards found
them in state of tribal warfare. They
had no organized system of govern
ment.
Each tribe lived in a cluster of
brush huts called rancheria, having
it's separate ground for hunting and
fishing. When the crops of nuts, herbs
and grasses were scant, they burnt
their huts, took up their beds and
other effects, and walked to another
more nutritious field.
The characteristics of these bands
varied with the sections they inhab-
tied. In addition to his bow and arrow
each adult had a knife made of bone,
used in warfare, also to dig roots and
herbs for his daily meal. They had no
chiefs, not even being advanced that
far in system of government. They
combined only for the purpose of rob-
berry, and took their tribal name from
the valley they inhabited, or the river
upon whose banks they dwelt.
The conquering Spaniards gave to
the rivers, valleys and mountains diff
ferent names, from which the Indians
renamed, and that is how California
Indian tribes have Spanish names.
When an Indian was baptized in the
church, he was given another name,
and thus his individuality was totally
lost.
Their petty wars were waged over
such trif1ing matters as gathering
acorns upon the land of another, and
hunting rabbits upon the public domain
of another tribe was considered casus
belli. The opposing armies advanced
upon each other each making the
greatest noise possible to frighten the
other. The strongest warriors were in
the front, the elders next, and the
squaws and children served as rear
guard and ambulance corps, to haul
off the dead and wounded, also to
pick up the spent arrows of the enemy
and to serve them to their own war
riors. The squaws also serve as trans
portation wagons in carrying the pro-
visions in addition to their pappooses.
As the missions prospered the In
dians retrograded correspondingly.
They were subjected and held in such
a condition of vassalage that there
was not enough manhood left among
them for even a neighborhood quarrel
In stature the California Indians are
below the medium height, have large
bodies, but ill-developed limbs, are
but squat and ungainly, as a rule.
Their faces are wide, foreheads low,
eyes small, noses fat like that of the ne
gro, nostrils broad, large mouth, cheek
bones prominent, hair black, straight
and as coarse as a horses name. The
costume of the men is the breech-
elout around the loins, and the skin Of

NEEDLESS COUGHING.
Don't Irritate the BrOnchials, but Let
Nature Relieve Them.

Don't Irritate the BrOnchiaIs, but Let
Nature Relieve Them.
In all bronchial affections the parox-
ysms of the cough should be placed, as
far as possible, under control of the
will
The old idea that disagreeable sensa-
tions in the throat indicate the pres
ence there of something which ought
to come up" has been entirely displaced
by the more rational ew that the con-
tinued and prolonged efforts to expel
that something" are often productive
of more mischief than would result
from its being allowed to remain.
There is attendant upon every dis.
ease of the bronchial tubes a greater
or less amount of mucus, which eXudes
from the mem branous lining of the
tube. Of course there are the accom-
panying signs of infammation-heat,
pain, swelling and redness; but it is
the mucuS emulation which is for the
most part responsible for the disagree
able sensations which we instinctively
attempt to alleviate by coughing.
Now it is certain that, in a great ma
jority of instances, where the general
health of the patient is not attacked,
this emulation undergoes what is called
resolution; that is, it is reabsorbed
through the fine network of blood yes
sells about the tubes into the blood,
where it is taken care of, and complete
recovery is effected.
On the other hand, let us suppose
that we do not wait for resolution to
take place, but that, on the theory
that every particle of the emulation
should be expelled, as being of poi
sonous nature, we strain to exhaustion
every muscle of expiration and, in fact,
the whole system What follows?
We may have accomplished our inn
mediate object, or the seat Of the in
hammation may have been out of reach
In either event, if we could see the
point at which our efforts had been di-
rected, we should discover that they
had not been productive of the results
anticipated. Instead of the inf1amna-
ton being in any way allayed, we
should find that an effect had been
produced similar to that which follows
scratching an itching sore The irri-
tation has for the moment been re-
lieved, but it is only a question of time
when it will return with renewed en-
ergy.
The habit of endeavoring to expel
more of the exudation than will come
away with gentle and infrequent cough
ing is an exhausting and idle one,-V

Da,ntIes for the Sick.

things are seldom as tempting to the
sick as they would be if the person
were in health. Tart sweets, such as
crab-apple jelly or currant jelly, are
generally acceptable, but strawberry
preserves or jelly will sicken. They
belong to the cloying sweets. As a

BRooMs are bent out of shape by be-
ing allowed to rest on the floor instead

method of making them last twice as
long as they otherwise would.
THIS is said to be an effectual YER
min exterminator: Dissolve two pounds
of alum in three or four quarts of boil
ing water and apply, while hot, to
every joint or crevice where ants and
eockroaches congregate. 1t is useful
to pantry shelves and bedstcads, for

SHADES for the windows of house
should not be selected until the color
of the interior decorations and the sur
roundings have been fully considered.
Glaring colors like bright blues and
greens are apt to be as disagreeabIe in
side as on the outside. Plain white
awnings are found to look better after
the second year than faded striped ones.
PAINT, however old and dry it may
be, can be removed from carpets or
draperies by liberal use of chloro-
form. Saturatc the spot, keep it close
ly covered for half an hour, then brush
out. The liquid destroys the oil in
the paint, leaving only powder that
usually comes out with no stain, un-
less on very delicate fabrics. In OBJ
stinate cases, the application may need
to be repeated several times.
