PAINT ON INDIAN FACES.
Nearly All of it Means Something to
Those Initiated,

nose initiated.
The fact of the matter is that every
paint mark on an Indians face is sign
with a definite meaning which other In
dams may read. When an Indian puts on
his full war paint, he decks himself not
only with his own individual honOrs and
distinctions won by mis- own bravery. but
also with the special honors of his family
or tribe. He may possess one mark Of
distinction only, or many; in fact, he may
be so well off in this respect that, like
some English noblemen, he is able 70
don a new distinction for every occasion.
Sometimes he will wear all his hOnors at
one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one desig-
mated by the symbol of the dogfish. paint
ed in red on the face. The various parts
of the fish are scattered heterogeneOusly
on the surface of the face; the peculiarly
long snout is painted on the forehead
the gills are represented by two curved
lines below the eyes, while the tail is
shown as cut in two, and hanging from
either nostril. When only one or two
HHparts of an animal are painted on a
mans face, it is an indication of inferi-
GRITTY; when the whole animal appears,
even though in many oddly-assorted
parts, the sign is one of great value, and
indicates a high rank.
Very peculiar are some of the honora-
BILE symbols painted on the Indians faces

kinds-logsalmon, devilfsh, starfsh,
