Head Decorations That Are as Grotesque

Head Decorations That Are as Grotesque
as They Are Ingenious.
Tho Zulu jinrikisha men are COM
PEELED by the English authorities to
wear a uniform-a white linen tunic
and loose white trousers cut off above
the knee. They were like children play
ing at horse in the nursery, and they
uttered continuous native gurglings,
partly like turtledoves and partly like
the halleluliah CALCULATIONS at M Of our
African Methodist camp meetings. They
all appeared very happy during this
performance, which continued SO long
that I calculated the amount of energy
expended to represent about ten miles
of unpaid travel. Though the body
dress was uniform, there was magniti-
cent diversity regarding head decora-
ton. One would wear a common straw
hat hung around the brim with tassels
suggestive of a.pagoda, and the chief
delight of the wearer was in shaking
his head for the pleasure of making the
tassels dance. Another had fastened a
pair Of COW horns on either side of his
head Immediately above the ears, and
he grinned ut me SO effusively that I
concluded he must have taken great
pains with the construction Of this
hideous headpiece. The kinky top Of q
third had been interlaced with an enor-
mous profusion of long strings Of wool,
to which small fluffy balls were at
tached at short intervals.
The head of a negro so decorated
looked like a huge black mop or one
of those Skye terrier dogs about whom
one is never safe in saying which is the
other end. In repose it is uncanny, but
when your jinrikisha Zulu springs
about in the shafts and throws his head
up and down like a colt impatient Of
the bit the effect upon the newly ar
rived is akin to what I once experienced
when a long black log of wood upon
which l proposed to rest myself turned
out to be a huge black snake resting
| from his gastronomic exercises. -Poult-

GIVE OPERATORS TINE.
No Haste in Securing Signatures to the

No Haste in Securing signatures to the
UniforIa.ty Agreement.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 12.-The committee
having in charge the matter Of securing
signatures to the proposed uniformity
agreement to govern coal production in
the Pittsburg district, has decided not
to urge the operators to sign the docu-
ment until they have had time to ex-
anime it and come to some conclusion
in their own mind. The committee
feel that so much time will elapse be-
fore the proposed agreement is to be-
come effective, nothing is t. be gained
by hurrying matters. Besides that
there is no one person specifically
charged with looking after the affair.
1t is proposed to appoint a secretary to
the committee who shall conduct the
correspondence of the body and to whom
the signed contracts may be sent.

OF the Malay Coast.

Sailing up the coast in a native craft,
you ma, almost fancy yourself one Of
the early explorers skirting the lovely
shores of some undiscovered country.
AS you sprawl on the bamboo decking
under the shadow Of the immense palm
leaf sail-which is SO ingeniously rig
ged that, if taken aback, the boat must
turn turtle, unless, by the blessing Of
the gods, the mast parts asundef-you
lock out through half closed eyelids at
a very beautiful coast. The ave
dance and glimmer and shine in the
sunlight, the long stretch Of sand is as
yellow as a buttercup, and the fringes
of graceful casuarina trees culver like
aspens in the breeze and simmer in
the heat haze. The wash Of the waves
against the boat s side and the ripple Of
the bow make music in your drowsy
ears, and as you glide through cluster
after cluster OF thickly wooded islands
you lie in that delightful comatose state
in which you have all the pleasure Of
existence, with none of the labor of
living.-"In Court and Kampong,"

How Special Agent Mcconnell Would
Enhance the Welfare of Red Men.
BROWNS VALLEY, Mimi, Aug. IA
Ex-Governor Mcconnell Of Idaho, the
special agent sent out by the govern
ment to investigate affairs at Sisseton
agency, upon his return to Washington
proposes to recommend to the Indian
department a plan whereby the surplus
lands belonging to the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indians may be rented
and placed under a state OF cult
walton in a way to be of benefit to
the redskins. He would permit the
lands to be rented for a term OF : or III
years, through the agent, or a specially
authorized attorney, for a reasonable
per CEN Of the crop grown thereon each
year. The renter would be required to
erect a fair sized house and barn on the
premises, a proportionate amount OF the
cost of the buildings to be deducted
from the Indians share of the crop each
year, so that at the expiration OF the
lease the buildings would be paid tor
and become the property Of the lndlan
who owns the land.

AS a Tribune representative was s~trolilng

This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed

talked of, when Mr.. Falkner. q clerk IN the

a firm believer in their efficacy Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
a visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in

During his residence in the United States

no STRIKE IN IOWA.
Convention of Miners at Ottumwa Votes
Not to Go Out in sympathy.

Convention of Miners at Ottumwa Votes
Not to Go Out in Sympathy.
OTTUMwA, Ia, Aug. 1O.-At a meet.
ing Of the Iowa miners here it was
voted not to strike in sympathy of the
Eastern miners. 1t was voted, how
ever, to assess every miner 20 cents per
week t aid the striking miners. The
agitators from Illinois worked hard to
get the men to declare a strike but the
men decided they could do no good in
ordering a strike with such a small
number, and passed a resolution order
ing notices to be sen out to all camps
in the state for another meeting at Os-
kaloosa Aug. -. If two-thirds Of the
mines in the state signify their inten.
ton Of sending delegates the meeting
will be held, if not it will be called of.
It is very probable that the meeting
will not occur, and that each camp will
settle its own scale and grievances with
the GENERATORS.

PROFIT SHARING.
Stated That the Matter l. Being Discussed
by De ArlMitt's Company.

stated 1N1C the NRaCtcr - being AJlSCuSScu
by De Armitt's Company.
P11TsBuRG, Aug. 12.-There is a story
being discussed about the mines and on
the street corners in Pittsburg that the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal com.
pany, has under consideration, a plan,
if it has not already adopted it, as ap.
piled to the coal miners. 1t is nothing
more than sharing the profits with the
miners. The plan will not be put into
effect, however, until after the strike.
The plan is modelled after those in eff
feet in Wannamaker's stores in Phil
adelphia and New York, and large rail-
road and other corporations. The div
ision will be made according to the
amount of work done, and the man dig
ging the most coal will get the
greater share. It is proposed to retain
the present form of contract binding
the diggers to work for 10 cents a ton
less. so as to enable the operators to
compete with other miners in the mar.
ket, and they being allowedto share the
profits is designed as an additional COM
pensation to their being given steady
w-rk and being paid in cash twice a
month. This plan, it is claimed, will
enable the operators to select their men
from the best miners in the district,
and to encourage the building Of houses
by the miners near their works. There
will be no change in the present system
Of working the..mine. The check weigh.
man will be retained, and the men will
still have their pit committees.
T. B. De .Armitt, when seen regard
ing newspaper stories, said he would
rather not talk about it as it was not
fully decided upon, and would not go
into effect until after the strike.
Appeals to the officials come from the
villages every day for aid for families Of
men who are at the various camps.
Operators think the strike will continue
as long as contributions are so liberal.
But the restitution which prevails in
the villages is relied upon to induce the
men to accept the offers which have
been made by operators until such time
as a settled rate will be established
AS high as - cents a ton, 10 cents more
than is demanded, has been offered by
some operators whose contracts call for
coal Of a certain grade, and which is OBJ
tainable at fancy figures.
