design the whole form of the animal, but
only its distinctive and typical parts, as,
for instance, its peculiar tail. which is
painted in criss-cross lines extending from
the chin to the nose, as though standing
upright. The chin itself does service as
the beavers body.
The arbitrary methods of the Indian art
list render it difficult, If not impossible, for
any but an expert 10 interpret the mean
ings of the pictorial representations. Thus,
an animals ears are invariably depicted
above the eyes on human subjects, the
ears OF the beaver being just above the
eyebrows. On the cheeks are painted the
paws In a position as though they were
raised to the mouth in the manner con-
ventional in Indian carvings.
The dogfsh painted in red upon the face
designates the members Of an entire tribe.
On the foreheads of the members Of this
tribe is painted the long. thin snout; the
gills are represented by two curved lines
below the eyes. while the tail is shown as
cut in two and hanging from each nostril.
Only one or two parts of the animal painted
on an Indians face indicate that he is of
an inferior position; the entire symbol, no
matter in what form presented. is sig

There is something about the business of
Paso. Tex, which inevitably drives the
herder crazy. No matter how strong the
man may be at the start, If he will follow
sheep long enough he will wind up a drivel-
ing idiot. No man has ever been able to
explain why this is, but ii is a fact, never
theless. / have known young, healthy Mexi-
cans and Americans to begin herding sheep,
and in less than five years their brains had
given way and they could not talk coher-
emily. Perhaps there is something in the
theory which is sometimes advanced that
constant association with the sheep re-
duces their intellectual capacity TO the level
OF their associates, or perhaps there is
something in the theory that the loneliness
and the solitude of the calling will wear
away the brain tissue OF any man. The best
~sheepherder in the world is the Basque, the
native Of the Pyreneean provinces of Spain.
Next to him is the Mexican. Both can stand
following the sheep for years, but both will
succumb In time. An American can hardly

very sure from the start that none are GO

motion. And another thing about sheep
which occurs to me right here: Sheep will
thrive and grow fat where cattle will die OF
starvation. A sheep can live where a steer
will die. The little nubbins of grass which
the steer cannot reach are fat picking for
sheep. There is a natural antipathy between
the sheep and cattle. Cattle Will not Craze
where a flock of sheep have been travelling.
They will not go after the trail Of the sheep
for months. They resent the presence Of
sheep. This. in a measure, accounts for the
enmity between the sheep men and the cow
men. When a flock OF sheep has gone
through a pasture. hat ends the COW mans

HERALDRY OF THE INDIANS.
Every Line of Paint Has Its Own
distinctive Meaning.
Washington Times.

WdSluSlOu 1lulSS.
People in general have been content to
look upon the Indians adornment of his
head with eagle feathers and his face with
paint as marks or personal decoration in
ferent only in degree from what is some
times witnessed among highly civilized peo-
pies. But the fact is that, in preference
10 the latter custom, for instance, every
paint mark on an Indians face has a sort
of heraldic meaning, implying not only the
honorS won by the brave in person, but
representing also the claims of his family
and race TO distinction. In other words,
what is shown among more cultured com
munitieS by coats of arms, orders and dec
o~rations is depicted by the Indian on his
face By means of pigments.
Scientists are now engaged, among other
novel Investigations concerning the North
American Indians, in compiling a record OF
the armorial, or rather facial, bearings Of
certain celebrated chiefs, and IL is said TO
be. fascinating work. One war
rior, for instance, viii have his lip painted
a copper red. This is found TO indicate that
his tribe was once in possession of huge
mines of copper. Another individual will
have his forehead adorned with a painting
or a certain nsh, thus implying that he or
his people are renowned for proweSs in
catching fish.
The same distinguished person sometimes
wears a disk OF pearl in addition 10 his
paint mask. This, by it's shimmering ra-
dance and its form, implies that he is de-
scended from the moon, in the sense that
the goddess Of night is one OF his ances-
tors.
The fact that the Indian has no concep-
ton OF perspective seriously handicaps the
success or his efforts at pictorial art. In

An erroneous report that an actress, well
