1t Is fashionable To be picturesque in
smart London society, to affect quaint In

A PROPER WALK.
Every Woman Should Know How to
Move Gracefully.


Do you know how to walk? OF course
you can get along at any gait that suits
your fancy, but can you glide, or stalk
or float according to the laws of grace?
The chances are you have never stopped
to consider what a picture you make of
yourself with your long strides. your
quick. Jerky steps or your languid
dawdling when you are almost too lazy
or tired to move. Ii you take the advice
of writer in the New York Herald you
will straightway proceed to learn to
walk in the way you should go.
Study your walk, girls. Take dancing
lessons to begin with and then repeat
your lessons before your long toilet g ass.
A pretty walk is beauty in itself. and
every one who will can acquire this beau
ty. Do 1t. then, at once-now-without
losing another day.
Spanish women have a very pretty
walk, naturally, as also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to car
ry weights on their heads.
To exercise walking a weight on the
head Is very good lesson. You must not
be content, however, to walk straight
before you without letting the weight
fall from your head. You must turn
backward and forward, and from side to
side. as Italian country girls do when
they carry water jars from the Well and
can turn in all directions without a drop
of water being spilled from the jar on
their head. More marriages are made up
at the well in Italy than at any other
public place. Young rustic fellows stand
by the well to watch the girls fill their
lars and carry them away on their heads
with grace given only to them; and
the most graceful among them has the
most admirers from whom TO choose her
husband
The French are also very graceful
walkers

THE DAWES COMMISSION.
Enrolling the Colored Men in the
Creek and Cbickasnw Nations

tMUskegon Dispatch st. Louis Globe -DemCcrat-l
The members of the Dawes Commission
who have been busiIy engaged FOR the
past month in enrolling the freedmen of
the Creek Nation. have about completed
their labors and Will proceed in about a
week TO the Chichasaw Nation. where
they will make rolls OF the members and
freedmen of that tribe. The completion
of the roll of Creek freedmen will settle
forever the right of negro claimants
10 participate in the distribution
of the lands and moneys Of that nation.
as the roll which is now being completed
is intended 10 be the final roll of the
Creek freedmen. All negroes who claim
ed enrolment as Creek freedmen have
been required by the commission to show
that either the claimants or their ances-
tors were on the Dunn roll of 1851. which
was the first roll made of the Creek
freedmen and contained 1,7H names. The
present freedmen roll will contain be-
tween 1000 and 5000 names and viii mean
that about one-third of the lands and
moneys of the Creek Indians are to be
given TO those negroes who were either
slaves of Creek Indians, descendants of
such slaves or residents of the Creek Ma
ton at the close of the Civil War.
When the Civil War closed it became
necessary for the Indians of the five civil
lied tribes of tue Indian Territory to
make new treaties with the United
Safes because they had abrogated all
former treaties by joining the Confedera-
cy. and this Notwithstanding the fact
that many of the members of the five
tribes did gallant service in the Union
army. The new treaties were made in
1866 and each tribe was compelled TO give
to the former slaves of the members of
the tribes a share of the lands and mon
eyS of the tribe, and the Creeks were re-
quired to make additional concessions as
the second article of their treaty. made
in 1866. provides that. inasmuch as there
are among the Creeks many persons OF
African descent who have no interest in
the soil. it is stipulated that hereafter
those persons lawfully residing in said
Creek country under their laws and US
ages. OR who have been thus residing in

year from the ratification of the treaty

HAWAIIAN EECH,
VoweIs Run Riot. But ConsOnenfs
Are Few.
(From the New York SUM-

(From the New York SUM-
Along with territory and a few other
things at what has been called the cross
roads of the Pacific, the United States
have annexed a new language and a
somewhat considerable literature owned
by the 35 900 people left as the remnant of
their race. The Hawaiian is not "a diff
cult or Grabbed speech. 1t Is soft and
musical. most of the white people now
in Hawaii speak it more or less fully.
and IL offers no great difficulty to the
others who may be expected TO ill up
the new domain.
Its most prominent characteristic is the
great use of vowels Besides the five
vowelS ii needs only seven consonants to
make up the alphabet, and the one hard
and fast rule of the grammar is that two
consonants shall never come together and
that word syllable shall end with
other than a vowel On the other hand,
yowels may string along in Indefinite sue
| cession. The speech abounds with whole
words which have not a single conson-
ant to hold them together. Two voweis
stand side by side in a majority of words.
The opportunity to triplicate. the vowel
has not been neglected; a word has been
formed of every such combination. Thus
"aaa" means friendly. "eee'' is the verb
to rise up, iii is little. 900" means to
shrink. and ''uuu means to stammer.
Four vowels together form many words
as ''aaua,' a crone or hag with wrinkles
under the eyes. Some few words consist
of as many as five vowels one after the
other, such as ''iiaaO, which is the name
for poi when il is hard and musty, or
''Oiaio the word meaning true.
The language is highly developed in
grammar and rhetoric, developed by the
savage Hawaiians up to the limits of
their and he
of a still further development. The proof
of that may be found in the books which
have been translated into Hawaiian. The
Holy Scriptures in Hawaiian show this.
Despite the fact that the history and the
doctrine therein contained were absolute
ly beyond the line of island experience, il
has been found possible to express them
perfectly in the native tongue with only
a few more words adapted from foreign
sources; in fact, there are fewer than
per cent of naturalized words in the
Hawaiian.
1t has it's widespread linguistic affini-
ties. The Polynesian tongue of which it

thrown so much light upon the Judicial
error of 1894, and which have caused
such profound emotion and excitement

Bismarck's Epitaph

(From the Cleveland Plain DeaIer.)
The death of Prince Bismarck recalls what he
was quoted as saying at the time of his retire
ment from public life in 1890: Il have only
one ambition left; should like to have good
epitaph."
In response to an invitation of a London paper
at that time its readers tried their hands at writ
ing an epitaph for Germany's maste: fui premier.
Below will be found some of the more meri-
torious efforts in that direction:
Build me no bronze marble; will none,
