ishable, and it is alleged that, despite
tempting offers, they have persistently
refused to divulge the mystery of their
manufacture. A phenomenal feature. as
indicative of the ingenuity of their con-
ception, is that no designs are alike in
the makeup of their baskets. Diverse
patterns are embraced in each design, Yet
so unified in the complete composition as
to secure a high order of taste and talent.
These baskets are difficult to obtain The
larger ones made double, with exterior
woven as to hold water, are valued at
s20 and the smaller ones at $l5. They
are only made to order, and even then
coaXing and cajoleFy have to be used
to induce their acceptance of the COM
mission.
Z Being of frugal habits, they live cn the
most economical basis. their compara-
lively scanty subsistence being derived
from this basketwork and light labor.
Their wants are few; their dietie: regime
much restricted, and coffee is the only
article of which they appear to be inn
moderately fond, They live SO exclusive
from the whites on the plantations that
they are almost entirely ignored by them,
and nothing ever seems to develop to
break the almost supernatural quiet and
repose that hover over their homes.
Recognizing female equality the rem
nant of twenty-five or thirty Indians now
left are ruled by queen, the chief hav-
ing died, and in process of time the

matter of course by all observing per-
sons. 1t would be astonishing if it We're
otherwise. The great gain is in the low
er death rate among infants among
children under 8. The death rate among
this class is very much lower than it was
before, and by before | mean twenty
five years ago. The Improvement within
that period has been nothing short of
marvellous. Children under the age of
five are peculiarly susceptible to bad
sanitary Conditions, and it is along the
lines of sanitation. that we have made
the greatest Improvement in the period
L speak Of
Adults live longer now than they used
to because the conditions all about are
constantly improving. The surroundings
in every dwelling place are better than
they were, and, what is quite as impor-
tant, the opportunities for getting good
food are very mucf letter. There is
more money in circulation, people are
more prosperous, and they are putting
into their stomachs a higher grade of
food than was the case twenty-five years
ago. The question of diet has received
very close attention and on all sides new
and nourishing foods have been put on
the market at very low price.
We have learned many other lessons in
the past few Years that help us to pro-
long life by avoiding fatal diseases We
know that contagion is carried by in
seets. We have learned the danger of
promiscuous splitting, and everywhere
the health boards are having laws passed
against it. We have learned the value
of cleanliness. Among the masses ten
people battle regularly now where one
did dozen years ago. We have learned
the value of cleanliness in our food. We
realize the danger Ct keeping our sup
plies in dirty ice be xes, where food is
readily decomposed. We have learned to
guard carefully against impure ice.
A feature that has materially de-
creased the death rate is the moro ra-
tional system of amusement that has
come in within the last fifteen or twenty
years. People have learned the danger
of overworking and Inderplaging; they
go more to the theaser and other places
where they can relax their minds They
take vacations during some part of the
hot months; they live out of doors as
much as possible. Golfing, bicycling and
other out-of-door sports have come in.
to the great advantage both OF our
minds and bodies
Cities large and small, have learned to
keep their streets clean, and clean streets
have a direct bearing on the death rate.
ln~New York I have seen the death rate
go up and down, according to whether
the streets were weilzor poorly cleaned
Towns of any considerable size have
adopted fairly rational methods of sew
age dispesal.-Saturday Evening Post.

THE SLEEPING CAR TumBLER.

Have you ever entered the smoking room
OF palace sleeping ear.
Keeping tabs upon the water tank
AS you smoked your last cigar?
Have you observed the tunbler?
Has it occurred to you
The many different uses
That people put it to?
Here's the fellow with collie,
His face is pale and drawn.
Pours paregoric in it
And bids his pain begone.
Next comes bilious drummer,
Who at the tumbter halts,
And fills the vessel blithely
With q slug of epson salts
He's followed by person
With the customary wf1inl
That sedlitz powder nightly
Is just the thing for him;
And. on his heels, comes some one
Who fancieS something hot.
And takes a swig of Railway,
TO touch the chilly spot.
Cne takes a morphine tablet,
Which the tumbler has to drown;
And another drinks a bumper
To help blue pill down;
One mixes up gargie,
And one lemon squash;
Another gives his mouth a bath,
And then his teeth wash.
You may talk OF golden beakers;
You may boast of pewter mugs;
You may chortle over tankards.
And rave of silver jugs;
But there's not a drinking vessel
In restaurant or bar
That S in it with the furnbler
