Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Ear
 .baHism Inhabit Great Areax
 The trip of the United States gun boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one Of the achievements of the closing cen tUry. The commercial object of the Wilmingtonss cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dwelt in the remote fastnesses Of the great forests whence it came During the gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to be apparently doei1e, but there was no mistaking their unciYil- ized state. Clothing, save a strip or two, worn by the women, are unknown The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-colored, of middle height, with well shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair Is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad eheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say, some- times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia The sole wea- rons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow The bows are of great length, and in the hands of 8 skilled native can be made formidable. In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved .o be mummified human heads. This was significant, inasmuch as 1t proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" a term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remoS1 ing the skull and treating it with cer. tain herbs until the head has been re- duced to about one-sixth of it's original size. The hair and features are pre- served intacta thus giving the head a very life-llke appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs. upon which are recorded the details of the battle.

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over TheiE
 Guns With Singular Unani,nisr.


 Georgia has stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a fine of $50 or being impris- oned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse. Gentlemen" said the judge when tho doors were closed, 'I have just seen a pistol on man in this room, ah1 cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such violation of this law pass unnoticed. I ought perhaps to go De. fore the grand jury and indict him. but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and fine of $1 down here I will let him off this time" The judge paused, and law yer sitting just before him got up, slipped his hand into a hip pocket. drew out neat ivory-nandled six shooter, and laid it with dollar down upOn lnG Sld40. u1o ID 0A1 9to1s5
 said the judge, "but you are not the man saw with the pistol" Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down a Colts revolver and a dollar bill be- fore the judge, who repeated his for mer observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with nineteen dollars by their side The judge laughed as he con- plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but add ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come =upa# and, glancing at the far side of the court. he continued: q will give him one minute to accept my proposition. &2d if he fails will hand him over to t1s9 sheriff :" Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and begak to move toward the judges stand. Once they stopped to look at escls other, and then. coming slowly fo9- ward, laid down their pistols and their dollars. AS they turned their backs the judge said: "This man with the black whiskers is the one that originally saw 7-zNew York Press.
