MEDICINE BAGS.
Reliance in Their Virtue by Ancient
and Modern Barbarians.

The medicine bags of the Navajos.
Zunis and Apaches, all kindred tribes
i'll New Mexico and Arizona, contain a
curious powder, known as corn pol
len, or hoddentin. This powder, which
is the pollen of rush, and ais o of maize,
appears to be used as a medicine, be-
ing eaten by the sick man and put on
the head or other parts to ease pain,
but principally as sacred offering to
the sun and moon, and as a sanctifier of
everything. A pinch of it is thrown
toward the sun and then toward the
four winds for help in war or the
chase, is put on the trail of snake to
prevent harm from it, placed on the
tongue of a tired hunter as a restora
tive, hung in bags around the neck
of infants as preservative, and
sprinkled on the dead. In fact, every
action of these Indians is sanctified
by this powder, so that, as Capt. Burke
writes in the ninth volume of THE
Reports of the Bureau of Ethnology"
(Smithsonian): PLENTY of hoddentin
has come to mean that particular
performance or place is sacred"
Capt. Burke shows many analogies to
the use of the sacred powder, both in
the east and among the ancient Greeks
and Romans, and it is clear that sim
liar practices with regard to medicine"
that is, magie-haye prevailed every
where and in all ages, for superstition
seems to be the universal heritage of
man, so deeply ingrained in his very
nature that all the efforts of philoso-
pliers and "13 clubs" will not avail
to root it out. Medicine bags or
amulets will continue to be worn
openly or secretly, not only by the
wild Indian and the Kaffir, but by
many among ourselves who cling to
the beliefs handed down probably from
remote prehistoric ages.-Chambers'
Journal.

this manly young woman left the room.
The following Sunday we lounged
ABOUT, weak, listless and fretful from
the intense heat. The women were
wearing the lightest and coolest of lawn
morning gowns. The men were in fan
mel or linen, white and fresh from the
laundry. We were too indolent to talk
or TO read. The sun scorched where IL
touched, and fine veil of steamlike
vapor rose from the blue waters o. the
bay, dimming the opposite shores like
an autumnal haze. At half-past ten ex.
actly down came Mrs. Old, dressed in
gauzy black lace and looking cool and
fresh. Her dainty little bonnet and
prayer book made evident her destina-
ton. "By Jove!" exclaimed the neutral
young man, "she has pluck. Wish
was ready; I'd go, too"
"Pish!" came from Mrs. News ham
mock. And the neutral young man
went a shade grayer as she adjusted her
pillow and turned over new page of
"Papa's Own Girl"
AT dinner conversation was at dis
count, fans being the only active things
seen or heard. Mrs. Old and New sat
opposite each other, smilingly, seeming
on the best of terms. Our genial host,
with view of starting topic, turned
to the church-goer, asked for the text,
and if the sermon was a good one.
"The text" responded Mrs. Old, with
the air of one about to unfold n long
story, 'was from the Epistle to the
Ephesians: Wives, submit yourselves
unto your husbands. Husbands, love
your wives"

ed her yis-a-vis.

and division of the shelves has been
prepared, very much like a diagram Of
the seats of a theater. Each box of
books will go to a certain seat, so to
speak, and that seat will be crossed off
as box is sent out, properly marked.
In this way no confusion can result.
As the various classes of books in the
old library are widely scattered, it will
take some time to properly card and
number them. 1t is this work which is
10 be done first. The entire force of
the library, except the copyright clerks,
are now at work on this task. No adj
ditional help will be needed or en-
ployed, as only those who are familiar
with the classes of books, and their To-
cation, can be used to advantage.
This marking, or carding OF books
and material will take several weeks.
The carting will not occupy so long
time, but several more weeks must
pass before the books can be classified
and arranged on shelves built on diff
ferent plan, before the reading-roon,
can be opened and proper service
given.
The work will be pushed by Mr..
Young with all possible speed. With
good weather, and the best of fortune,
the new library will be opened by Dc
tober 1; but il is likely TO be later than
that, owing TO the mass of things to
be removed, and the care which must
be taken to prevent loss, damage and
confusion.

possible Inconvenience to those who
frequent it, were the two objects to be
aimed at. The number of readers grows
less as summer advances, and increases
again with its end and the coming fall.
There are over 100000 volumes to be re-
moved and arranged in the new build
ing. The accumulation of other ma
terial is enormous. 1t is in different
looms, alcoves and stories. Some is on
shelves, some in chaotic heaps, some
is classified, and much is unclassifed.
The question how to safely and ex-
peditiously' remove this matter from
these places, and retain its classified
ton, and put it all so that IT will be a
nnce available, was discussed at lengtn
by Mr.. Young, Mr.. Spoiford, Mr.. Hutch
enson and Superintendent Green, who
is charged by law with the work of
removal.
1t was considered as an engineering
problem. y system of carding the books
as they start, and numbering the new
stacks, was finally settled upon. Chutes
will be built to slide the books in boxes
down the front steps of the capitol. The
men will load the boxes in wagons, and

cupied year. The library was opened
within two months, but II was crippled
for four months; and removing the IL
brary OF congress is a much greater
task.
Until the books are moved, no APP
pOintments will be made by Mr.. Young.
There is a sufficient force now to do that
work, and although the applications
are still pouring in at the rate of over
so a day, nothing can be done with
them except to place them on file.
Afterthe library is arranged the list will
be taken up. Those persons who seem
20 be best fitted for library work will
be considered, and IL deemed desirable
will be sent for to be subjected to an
examination. The law is very specific
in its requirements that only those
adapted to the positions which they
seek shall be chosen. 1t will be strictly
Observed.
There are Jos places provided for on
the library staff. OF these, As are filled
by those of the old library staff, who
will be retained. They will, for the
most part, receive the higher salaries,
leaving only about 60 places with small
salaries to be filled.
The removal of the national library
from the capitol to the new library
build!ng will result in the charging of
the crypt under the great rotunda.
When the Toner collection was received
by the library about 16 years ago, brick
walls were built just back of the second
row of columns, in the crypt, thus con
verting the outer circumference into
apartments for the temporary occupan-
cy of the collection given by DIR. Toner.
The building of these apartments COW
cred up the windows of the crypt, and
yesterday they were uncovered to the
gaze of the public for the first time in
IL years.
Now that the books of this collection
have been removed to the new build
ing, Workmcn have begun to tear down
these obstructing walls, and the vault
ed chamber will be restored to its orig
iaal beautiful design. The crypt will

brary is about to be permanently

recent adjournment of congress, the
new librarian, Hon. John Russell Young,
closed the old library for the purpose
of transferring to the new library
building its books, its treasures, its Gu

volumes are seen again by the public
they will be in perfect order on the
commodious stacks and shelves in the
attractive halls of the most beautiful

REMOVING THE LIBRARY.
a Task Requiring Much Labor and
Yet More Skill
New Congressional Library building
Now Receiving the Treasures
So Long Housed In the
Capitol.
Especial Washington letter.

The rooms in the capitol building
which for years have accommodated tho
congressional library are closed TO the
public.
For more than ten years past the let
erary wealth of the library of con-
gress has been shamefully and dis
gracefully piled and scattered about,
cluttering up the floors and passage
ways, and bullying out from the over
crowded racks and shelves.
This disgracefuI scene will never be
witnessed again. The old library is
permanently closed, and the new Ii
