INDIAN ANTlpATHY TO FISH,
why some Tribes win Not Use Them
as Food.


AT q recent meeting in Baltimore by

which he described as an antipathy to-
fish. This aversion is especially strong

with articles made in the shape of fish,.
This taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated. DR.. Matthews thought, was
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish,
taboo was given. There was a time
when food was scarce and the mountains
Indians had big pow-wow 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 thetdiscussion of the paper it 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 ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought, perhaps, this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish

DENTISTRY AT SEA.
And Something Also About the Prac-

When a sailor on a deep-water ship.
has toothache he is likely to go to the.
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
in bis tooth. and if that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls il, says the New York
Sun. 1t is common thing for sailors.
TO pull their own teeth. Their method
IS TO put a string around tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; on some vessels
a fair outfit of them. a ship captain
OF long experience said that in the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door. built in the ship In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-la beled,
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; IL is
practically a well-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest a book explaining the uses
of the medicines. The captain Is like
ly to have some other book on medical
subjects which he has read and studied
and he is likely TO have had good deal
of experience before attaining the rank
of master of ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men. but. when occasion requires, the
oaptain prescribes; he is the physician
