Other Indians would make no terms with them, and the Tonkawas were an outlawed tribe among all their red brethren, with every mans hand against them. They retaliated by act ing as scouts and guides to the whites in their expeditions against the hostile tribes, a.t.5
 When the Texan missions were es- tablished, in the early part of the eigh- teen century, and the good Francis cans began the heavy task of trans- forming wandering savages into indus trious Christian subjects of the king, we find some bands of Tonkawas among the score of tribes gathered into San Antonio, San Jose, and the old his- toric Alamo. It is probable that only few We're thus brought under re- straint, for the love of the old free life was strong in their hearts, and long before the missions were abolished, in 1912, we find the Tonkawas again rov- ing over half of Texas.-James Mooney in the September Harper's.

THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.

2 THE PASSING OF THE HORSE
 The horse is not extinct, yet but
 persons in horse business report sthat he Is scare and costly. They say that In the neighborhood of New York $5 horses have been bringing $40 or $50 and $50 horses $l50 or s2Oo. The chief reason for the dearth given by a dealer quoted in one of the neighborhood papers is electric scare.' It may be remembered that 1t was given out two or three years ago that all the horse work was soon to be done by electricity. The farmers and breeders, 1t seems, took these assurances so much to heart that fewer colts were raised Then the Spanish War put the Government in the market for horses and mules; the Boer war has made a market for 50,000 more; the horse distemper early in the summer killed some; the ex- treme heat killed many more, and, horses arc scarce. Evident ly 1t is going to take time 10 wean hu- manity from horses. It can't be done in single generation, even though Edison's storage battery turns out to be all that is hoped.-E. S Martin, in Harper's Weekly.

orthodox syhagogues prayers must be offered morning and night. Further more, morning and night prayers must be said in every house of mourning for a week after the funeral.
 It is not always possible to get to- gether the full number of worshippers nsuch frequent ceremonies and at tached to every orthodox synagogue there is a number of regularly salaried men whose business it is to fill out the number. They are usually old men past active usefulness in other employ ments and, therefore, do not receive a very liberal sum, b ut 1t is enough to give them a means of livelihood.-San Francisco Chronicle.

HER BAROM METRICAL HAIR.
The Man Who Has Married a Weather
 Prophet.

| Prophet.
 1 Talk about your barometers, rheu-
 matism, gourds, goosebones, and corns
 as weather prognosticators," said the
 man who knows they are not in it when it comes to weather predictions | with the hair of my wife. would | rather have her promise as to the
 weather any time than that of Capt. Blythe or the best and luckiest weather bureau observer who ever engaged in
 the prediction or weather forecasting
 business.
 For years I have taken, her advice
 as to what the weather would be dur
 ing the day and for years I have dressed and prepared myself accord
 ingly. Long ago I found out that my
 wife spoke truthfully when she told me
 rain would fall, or that the day would
 be fine, and she never made mistake
 once in a hundred times I accused her
 of all sorts of things, such as having rheumatism, goosebone and almanacs, and advised her to go to chiropodlst,
 for I imagined it was by her feet that
 she was able to so truthfully foretell
 the weather. During all these years IldNe pGcA SuliCu+ py HSis oh0 NA'Nit she tells me in the morning that rain will fall, wear dark clothes and carry an umbrella, and ! find have use for it before I return home at night.
 "On her promise that the day would be fine I have invariably worn light clothes and left my umbrella at home, and I have never found that have use for it A shower may fall during the day, and that is the nearest my wife has ever missed truthfully forecasting the weather. But she would never rish her reputation by making pre- dictions for longer than that. And her predictions were always for the day only, and never for the night, and often when we went out at night we were caught unprepared by rain On these occasions I frequently twitted my wife with being a false prophet or rather bad one, but I could never get her to venture a prediction on the weather at night
 "All these years the matter had been a great mystery to me, and I was new CT able to fathom it, but few days ago she explained how she was able to so closely tell what the weather would be during the udy ana uel SAPldildl HUH VI the matter was so simple that | wondered why the solution of what l thought mystery, or the possession of second sight on my wife's part had never occurred to me before.
 Like many other women, my wife's hair Is only curly, and like many other women she puts it up,in curl papers, or kids, when she retfres at night and brushes it out in the morning. When her hair emerges from the curl papers, damp dank and sticky and heavy, she knows there will be showers or some rainfall, but not a real rainy day, and when she brushes out her hair and 1t is dry, light and fluffy, she knows to | certainty that the day will be a line one, and then she makes her pre- dictions with great assurance and earn estness, and I have seldom found her | wrong. suppose other mems wives can tell in advance the weather by | their hair, but my wifes hair is better for this purpose than any barometer l l have ever known "-New Oreleans Time Democrat.

| EARLY AMERICAN CANNIBALS.
A Glimpse of the Tonkawas, Who Were
 the Worst of the Lot

A Glimpse of the Tonkawas, Who Were
 the Worst of the Lot.
 | It may not be generally known that
 cannibalism was once prevalent over
 large areas of the American continent. Such was the case, however, and, in fact, the very word cannibal is but an-
 other form of Caniba or Cariba, the
 proper name of the Carib Indians, the l dreaded scourge of the Antilles three | centuries ago, among whom the Span | iards on first landing, found human | limbs hung up to dry in the sun for | food. Many of the tribes of South Am erica were cannibals, and some of the unconquered savages In the dark for ests of the upper Amazon still feast up- on human flesh. The practice existed also in Central America and Mexico, as readers of Prescott are well aware. but rather as a sacrifice to the god of war than from any depraved taste for such food. As war ceremony it was found also among nearly all the tribes of the eastern United States and Canada. The Miamis had a canniabl society, whose members were under obligation to eat any captives delivered to them for that purpose; and the Kiowas, with whom lived for some time, had only a. few years ago secret brotherhood, each member of which was pledged to eat the heart of the first enemy killed by him in battle. The old war chief in whose family I stayed was one of this society.
 All the tribes of the Texas coast and
 r+n1 IT., 1e- and with good reason. One of these was the Attakapa, from whom the Louisinana parish gets it's name, which signifies man-eaters" Another was the Karankawa tribe, on Matagorda Bay, with whom French captives from La Salle's expedition witnessed many a barbarous feast. In 1760 the priests of the old San Antonio mission drew up catachism for the use of their Indian converts, and among the questions to be asked in the confession the first one was Have you eaten human fesh?" But the worst cannibals of all were the Tonkawas, who lived about San Antonio, just back from the coast. To al the other tribes, even to the present day, they are known simply as "the Man-eaters." They were strong, ath letio men, brave fighters good hunters and inveterate rovers. Unlike other tribes of that region, they planted noth- ing, having tradition that their first ancestor was a wolf, and that they must always be like him, shifting about from place to place, and getting their living by hunting. They had a panto- mime dance in which the performers, diSguiSod aS WGly esp Scratchad a m a n l out from the ground. where he had l

I great effect. Sonic fishermen use them without bait, while others hang sacks of dough bait" and low grade cheese at the same end of the net. The net, as it's name implies is hung over hoops of different sizes, tapering from the front or open end to the closed or point ed end. The front of the net is sup- piled with a funnel shaped opening through which the fish can easily make on entrance, but which puzzles them considerably when it comes to getting out. These nets are placed on the riv- er's bottom with the opening down stream. They are weighted and held in place by guy lines. They are espe- cially successful in catching buffaloes, and it is not uncommon for met to become so filled with fish during the night that the net is broken and the fish escape when the fisherman att tempts to raise it the following morn ing.
 The peculiar habit of the buffalo makes it an easy victim for the hoop net, even when no bait is used. Buffa- loes, the old fishermen say, always feed with their heads upstream They are NCly anu GAPiuIG Hllo picious or unusual looking place. They are very sensitive about touching their fins and tail. When they once get into a net they swim upstream till they run their noses against the closed end This makes them back down stream till their tail touches the front end of the net, when they make lunge up- stream. Fishermen claim that not one buffalo in thousand ever gets out of a net when once fairly into it.
 With trot lines various kinds of bait are used. The most common is dough balls," a bait manufactured by the fish ermen of cornmeal and flour. The dough Is formed into little balls about the size of a marble and boiled to give them toughness, One advantage of this bait is that the turtles and garfish will not disturb it.
 Turtles and "gars," as they are called by the rivermen, are the natural ene- mics of the fishermen. They are abun- dant wherever fishing is good and not only steal the bait from the lines, but strip them of fish--Golden Penny.

RICE Vs. POTATOES.

v 'il kf
 The shortness of the potato crop at F the North and the unprecedentedly high prices for the tuber have drawn atten-
 tion to the comparative merit of other food notably corn and rice. It would be a wholesome thing for the North If this scaracity of a favorite article of diet induced them to add rice to their menMand benefit thens Oriental people have long known the value of rice, and the Southern people. as class especially in the Gulf and South Atlantic States, appreciate it so much, along with corn grits and corn bread, that no meal is considered com plete without it. It is excellent with butter or gravy and a superior addition to soup. It can be converted into most palatable and nutritious desserts Cornbread, corncake and corn grits are Southern dishes On hog and hominy the negro maintains his great muscle and the white man thrives in this sec- ton. As much depends upon cooking, attention must be paid to these mat ters. As a rule the Northern people know how to prepare potatoes for the table and Southern people do not The Northern cook makes the potatoes mealy and delectable. The ordinary Southern cook converts ihinto hard soggy, indigestible mass The North ern cook turns rice into glue and inn perils its palatability. The Southern cook brings it to a dry succulent condi- ton. We of the South should learn to cock potatoes properly and the North e-n foIk should learn how 10 manipu- late rico. The ladies who go about tcaching at cooking schoois might be- come patriotic as well as gastronomic missionaries if they at once began a campaign of education East and West. Augusta Chronicle.

SANDALS FOR FATHERS,

Julian Ralph writes as follows in the
 Brooklyn Eagle:
 Have all our young girls of the | sweet sixteen period got their sandals on and do. you see them everywhere, at seashore and in town, tramping about
 without stockings and with their ivory insteps and blushing little rosy toes to the sun and the air and the popular gaze? No? Well, this must be a sensation for next year, then, because it grows here apace and is considered quite the only way to save the beauty of the feet of the English misses. The sandals are genuine ones of the Roman pattern--a sole of leather and set of straps or bands. two crossing the top of the foot and one over, the instep. The purpose of the sandal is to prevent the cramping of the toes and to keep the pores of the feet open and the skin healthy. Stockings are discarded to avoid the damage done by every form of garter yet devised and for coolness and health. The new fashion applies to all girl children of the ages during which they are entirely under mater nal control-which is to say from baby hood to IS years of age. The dresses of some of the aristocratic young misses who go about in sandals are quite long -of that length which need but one more change to mark the stage of ma turity and of the so-called putting up of the hair which has heretofore been worn long and loose and free. The first sight of tall welldeveloped English girl in bare legs and bare feet is certainly very surprising, but one gets used to it, even as our fathers got used to crinoline and after one has seen hundreds of girls in this new dress 1t is even possible to find and admire beauty in the prettily made sandals and in the effect of the russet straps criss- crossed over the rosy feet. This fashion is as yet new enough to excite the hostility of the purely English. It has not been introduced upon the Con- tinent, but in all the Continental coun- tries mothers are now dressing both their boys and girls in low shoes and socks, leaving their legs bare. This was once an English custom and was destroyed by the doctors on the ground 1 that it was injurious to the children's health Of course this Is even more 1 true of the sandal fashfon-if it Is true at all"

The Secret Service has unearthed an. other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never suspect them of be-
 ing spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for i'm. i;ation, notably the celebrated Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters, which has many lmltators but no equals for indigestion. dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blcod and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get al the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of coun rfeiters when buying.
