An order for a general hair cut has
iallen upon the Mescalero tribe OF
Apache Indians in New Mexico, says the
San Francisco Examiner. It has been
acted on, too, and every Indian on the
reservation has been deprived of his hair.
The order came from d white man and it
established this individuals record as
having scalped more Indians than n
Indian ever scalped white men.
Lieutenant Y. e. Stottler is the a
who has shorn the heads of the Messed
lero Apaehes. He did it to c~ivilize them.
Before Lieutenant Stottler got hold Of

anyhow, to associate masculine long hair

But, dead or not, it Is one of the most

Although there are signs which might

james Marshall, who came there in 1873.
He found many bones of the mammoth

us how he made the framework of his
tent with immense rib bones nine and ten
feet long, which he picked up and drove
into the earth. Marshall also found the
traces Of paths leading to the springs,
which were probably made by extinct
animals that sought them, attracted
thither By the sadness Of the water.

SAVAGE WEAPONS.
wherein the FiIipiros Are Strong In
Hama to Hand Fighting.

The campaign in the Philippines has
been a hand to hand combat, and one
reason of the difficulty which the Ameri-
can soldier has experienced in his strug-
gle with the Filipino has been his lack of
ability with the sword.
But this viii soon be remedied.
Swordsmanship is being constantly prac-
ticed, and the American soldier, always
quick to learn, viii soon become more ex-
pert with the saber, the bayonet, the
sword, the rapier and the machete than
the Filipino with his weapons.
The weapons used by savages in the
interior of Luzon, Mindanao and the
smaller Philippine islands are perhaps
more deadly thar those OF any other race.
The quaint and curious shapes of their
daggers aud creeses lend to them a dis
tinct pecuEarity not found in the wean-
ons of other races. Small in size, skill
fully carved and pointed, they can be
handled with great effect, and in most
instances a single thrust is sufficient to
do the work. Like the Indian arrow
heads, some of them are poisoned at the
point, which means sure death once a
wound is inflicted.
Perhaps the most deadly of all the
Philippine weapons are the daggers car

about 1S inches long. They are crooked
or waving in shape, with a rough, un-

a razor, the point almost ike that of u

representing the name of the chief and
tribe. These crooked daggers are car
ried exclusively BY the chiefs, the right
to possess them being considered a great
honor in the native country.
The creese, though, is the most impor-
tant OF all Filipino weapons. The more
savage tribes lasso the foe and cut off
his head with the creese, Others steal
up behind the foe and, aiming a little be-
low the base Of the brain, decapitate him
with a single blow.

says the Cincinnati ENQUIRER. It is
necessary to penetrate to very remote

tribes Of ayages however, NOW in a
semiciyiiized state who, not so many
years ago, were the worst kind Of canhj-

The story Of the fake revolt used by
ex-Iling Milan as an excuse for tortur-

told BY Sterling Heilig in the New York
Press. When all was ripe, Milan hired
some obscure tramp to fire a blank shot
at him. Captured, the assassin con-

the fellow mysteriously escaped. His
testimony remained, however, and on it
and some alleged police reports whole

heard Of a treason trial in Seryia, timed
to coincide with that of Eennes. Milan
calculated that the wider interest of the
Drcyfus scandal would absorb the inter-

deeds into the shadow.
But the verdict given on Sept. 25 e
