LADY KNOCKED DOWN.
Bicycle Rider Injuries Pedestrian on
the Sidewalk.


About dusk last evening as Mrs.
Geo. Pass and three young ladies were
walking along the sidewalk in front of
the Security block on South Front
street, young man riding bicycle
came upon them from behind and
struck Mrs. Pass niece, Miss May
Vandersteeg of Orange City. Iowa,
knocking her fiat upon the sidewalk.
The rider stopped long enough to OBJ
serve that if little girl had not been
in the way the accident would not
have happened.
If the rider had been in the road
where he belonged, the accident would
not have happened. There have been
several complaints of people riding on
the sidewalks, and the police ought to
see that the ordinance is better en-
forced.

is another of the mysteries of drown
ing. If there are more ways of kill
ing a cat than one, so there are more
reasons than one why people drown.
Good swimmers, bad swimmers, and
those who can't swim at all go under
and stay from time to time. If people
will go into the water, people will
drown. We guard against accidents
to the best of our ability, but occa.
sionally some one goes down never to
come up alive. We guards sit here and
watch, go in and drag out all who ap.
pear in distress, but despite our vigil
ance suddenly some one will be missed,
going down without word, surround
ed by half a hundred persons, any one
of whom would possibly have been
able to extend helping hand.

is difficult of access, as they occupy a
deep ravine in the Sierra Madre del
Norte range, in the state of Jalisco.
They are hemmed in by huge mountain
walls 5000 to 10000 feet in height.
Here they have been able to defy all
invasion from the outside world and
have expelled the missionaries who
came to teach them. No churches or
priests are allowed in their country,
and they are living in the same grade
of culture as when Cortez first put foot
on Mexican soil.
Having preserved their ancient Gus.
toms and beliefs unaffected by white
contact, they are more than ordinarily
interesting to ethnologists. For the
first time their products have now
been brought to civilization and their
mythology reported on.
The Huichol number about 1000.
They dress in garments of their own
manufacture, decorated with elabor.
ate and artistic designs. The most in.
teresting industry of the people il
weaving. The women make belts,
sashes and pouches of cotton and wool.
The ribbons and sashes are ornament
ed with odd and beautiful figures, all
of which have a symbolic meaning.
DR.. Lumholtz' collections among this
tribe not only cover the whole range OF
their industries, but illustrate in a
most exhaustive manner the beliefs
and ceremonials of the people.
Their country is comparatively arid
and their food supply depends largely
upon the regularity of the rainfall.
For this reason most of their cere-
monies are intended to propitiate the
gods of rain, and all the objects they
use in their ceremonial worship are
covered with symbols Indicating rain.
Most of their gods have control over
clouds and rain. In each village there
is large temple around which stand
a number of small houses sacred to
various deities. In these are deposited
the offerings made by the people, says
the New York Herald.
Woven shields are sacrificed for good
luck. These bear designs of the sym.
bols of the deity to whom they are Of.
fered. On others are shown the ami
mails sacred to the deity and pictorial
of the object of the
prayer. A man who prays for the
health of his wife will make an offer
ing on which the figure of woman il
represented weaving or painting.
When he prays for the welfare of his
herds figures of cattle or sheep are
represented on his offering, while a
woman who prays for skill in any kind
of handiwork sacrifices sample of it.
A. symbol Of, prayer is attached to
an arrow. The arrow is frequentl,
stuck into the thatched roof of the
temple, and is supposed to take a
course toward the deity, carrying the
wishes of the supplicant. In the tenn
Piles are also found chairs in which
the god is supposed to sit. Symbols
of prayers are often attached to the
seats, where they will at once attract
the attention of the deity.

SAYING MEAN THINGS.
"A Disagreeable Habit Which IL Cvl.
ttvated Most Assiduously by Too
Many Women,

1t is unhappily true that many peo-
pie take great delight in saying dis
agreeable things to their friends,
but there are very few who have suf-
ficient courage or frankness to speak
openly or to risk being considered
rude or malicious. So they will use
q great deal of circumlocution to
convey the disagreeable truth or
criticism which they feel unable to
resist uttering. but for which they
do not wish to be held accountable.
AS everyone knows by unpleasant ex-
perience, remark that may wound
deeply may be yelled with conven-
tional politeness so thoroughly that
the malice of the speaker cannot be
detected, and, although you who lis
ten know, and the speaker knows you
know, that the cutting speech is
made with purpose, there is moth
ing to take exception to.
''Do you know how Mrs. Sharp
manages to say the most unpleasant
things to your face she can think
of?' said one of her victims. 'She

by exciting your curiosity. She has
heard something about you, she
gives you to understand in round

want to know what it is. But it
will vex you,' she purrs; then you
get wilder than ever and insist upon
being told. Finally, after much per-
suasion, she tells you of some re-
mark that has been made about you
that makes you feel uncomfortable
all over. OF course, nothing will in
duce her to tell you who has said it,
and you are left under the impress
sion that it is one of your friends
who has either maligned you or ex-
posed your faults. It took me a

Salt of the Earth.

Mrs. Brunot, the wife of the Indian
commissioner, was full of good works.
She did not despise dress, but she never
followed varying fashions. The result
was quaintness which singled her out
from the other women completely Is
did her sweetness and charity. One
day, at the Church of Missions house in
New York, young clergyman who was
at that time very little besides young,
came and introduced himself to de-
voted friend of Mrs. Brunot. Thai lady
happened to know Mrs. Brunot had been
kind to him, SO she began conversation
by asking: "You know Mrs. Felix Bru-
not, don't you?" "Oh, yes" said he,
''and doesn't she look as if she came out
of the ark?" "Young man" replied the
lady, sternly. "Mrs. Brunot is one of
the very few people know who would
have been worthy to go into the ark. :"

Hint. ON Baking Cakes.

Light cakes require a rather brisk
oven to raise and set them. Cakes
raised with baking powder also need
quick oven. Much sugar in cake
will cause it to burn quickly. There.
fore the oven must not be so hot fol
them. Large, rich cakes require long
and careful baking. Small sugar
cakes need slow oven. Ginger.
bread, too, should be gently baked.
The oven door should be kept closed
until the dough sets, and all the
time the cake is baking the door OF
the oven should be opened as little
as possible and the door very gently
closed, as slamming the door, ever
to shut it, will make a cake heavy.

assured had there been any signal
whatsoever.
"The impression that drowning
person comes to the surface three
times is q mistake. In fact, in most
cases he goes under once and stays
there unless some one goes after him.
Ordinarily, person overheard takes
enough water into the body on first
sinking to weight it SO that it will not
rise to the surface, but there seems
to be no rule of nature governing this.
81 suppose if one goes under with
the lungs full of air the body will come
to the surface, but usually the first
sinking is the last.

beach. Cases have been quite numer-

three or four of these necklaces, and
bracelet after bracelet on their dusky
arms. They are fond of fiery red in
their garments and the women are
much addicted to the wearing of cheap
lace. Little can be said of the house
keeping abilities of the coolie women.
1t is without order, system or cleanli-
ness. But as the coolie families are
hardly ever in their houses excepting
to sleep or in stormy weather, they
may feel that it is not worth while to
'bother' with the ordinary duties of
housekeeping. The coolies are lean
and 1.-THE, with far greater swiftness
of motion than the negroes of Jamai-
ca. They are also more Industrious
than the negro and. are in greater de-
mand on the plantations. There are
many thousands of coolies in the West
Indian islands. After their emancipa-
tion many of the negroes of the is
land, with the Unborn love of idleness
of their race, declined to do any more
manual labor than was absolutely nec-
essary to provide the scanty clothing
required in tropical climate and such
food as nature did not supply in the
abundant fruits of the island. When
a negro has earned shilling in the
West Indies his work for that day is
done, no matter if the sun has not yet
reached the meridian. Not so with
the coolie. He will work all day and
in most cases will do better work than
the negro. The laziness of the negro
after his emancipation made it neces-
sary to import more Industrious labor
ers, and thus it was that so many
coolies found their way to the West
Indies. Free Press.
