up their hair, one can see that there
are married women, maidens ana
young girls. All alike are clothed In
ceremonial blankets, much coveted by
collectors, made of white cotton. win

that the dancers all feel they must

and finger rings of silver, and necklaces
of wampum, turquoise or silver they

who are to distribute certain presents
at the close of the ceremony. are being
prepared by the ''lakone TAXA" or
priest, who is the only man allowed to
take part in the Lalakonti. Followed
by the "lakone MANA" or maids, the
priest advances into the dance plaza.

Indian it is a serious, sacred and re-

the gods have required human beings
to dance in order that their anger may
be appeased, so every Indian engages
in the dance as one Of the most sacred
and serious things he can do.

Although the other companies which nave

scription of the results of their experience, the
data herewith sent mostly point one way IL
is clear that American manufacturers can DO
great business in Japan as the extension or tne
railway system of the country proceeds.
For the purpose of arriving at complete

country were addressed by The Tribune corre-
