Indian Antipathy TO Fish.
From the Baltlmore sun.

At the meeting in Baltimore of the Amer
lean Folklore Society DR.. Washington
Matthews of Washington, d. c., read a
paper on "Icthyophobia." which he de
scribed as an antipathy to fish. This
aversion is especially strong in the Navajo
Apache, and other Indian tribes of the far
Southwest. who will not eat fish nor have
anything to do with articles made in the
shape of fish. This taboo" with the Ma
vajos extends to all things connected with
water A probable reason why no more
children of these tribes are sent East 10
be educated, DR. Matthews thought. was
a fear that they might be required to
oversome this cherished taboo" supersti-
ton, which is as firmly rooted as any re-
lgion.
A legend to account for this fish taboo"
was given. There was a time when food
was scarce and the mountain Indians had
a big powwow with the river Indians. The
result was that the river Indians agreed
to kill no deer, but live entirely on fish.
and the mountain Indians agreed TO eat
no fish, but live entirely upon deer. This
made food plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper II was
stated that the Zuna Indians will not eat
fish because savage tribes in desert lands
regard water as sacred because of it's
scarcity and this reverence extends to
animal life in water. Several members
thought, perhaps, this idea conveyed the
true reason for the fish taboo

HAND-PAINTED INCREASES.
Decorated With Dainty Scenes in
Delicate TInts.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Wineglasses of fine make now have little
fairy-like manipulated scenes on one side
These are intended for champagne and
like Celebrating beverages, and are cor
respondingly gay, though not gaudv in
tone. Whether fun or empty the colorin,
on the glass shows 10 advantage and the
little oval picture is framed about with a
delicate scrollwork of gilt. Thirty-six dol
lars will procure a dozen of these dainty
drinking cups that seem almost too fragile
and exquisite to be trusted to ordinary
handling.
1t is the Bohemian glass chiefly that is
enriched with this heudiwork The mnia-
ture scenes. depict goddesses, nymphs ana
cupids in various attitudes out of doors
and with only sketchy scarfs. Crane cus-
ters and garlands to enhance their
charms. A Venus with long blonde tresses
sits in careless Incidence on river bank
and toys with a white winged dove perch
ed on her extended hand. Another glass
of this set has little scene Of a Greek

a flutter of rainbow-hued scarfs being The
only drapery A busy little Cupid aiming
an arrow al maid who accepts the sit
uation in smiling mood Is another
scene This maiden is of modern DAYS

and cleaning arms breasting the waves

family group somewhat patriarchal i'm re-
gard to clothing and SURROUNDINGS anotb-
er. In each and all, the design is car
ried out with careful regard to detail. ana
the colorng, both the flesh tints and the
bloom of the flowers, as wen as the soft
tones of the background, is appropriate.
Although there are pinks and blues and
rainbow unts in the pictures, the effect
is light and delicate, as though the sun
was shining through a bubble-this no
hemian glass is 80 thin, fine and luni-
nous.

has arranged a conference with the
foreign admirals, presumably on the
subject of protection for the lives
of non-combatants.
The situation is growing unbeara-

rest and the work of the Spanish
troops on the line of defense is ter

desperation of resignation. They
have had no nomriShment and for
days have been reduced to eating wild
birds and shell fish. Still, with star
va'tiOn staring in the face, they hold
their posts and fight with the cour-
age of their race.
The population is in state of ter
