PAINT ON INDIAN FACES.
Nearly All of 1t Means Something ia
Those Initiated.

The fact of the matter Is that every
paint mark on an Indians face Is a
sign with a definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint, he
decks himself not only with his own
individual honors and distinctions won
by his own bravery, but also with the
special honOrs Of his family or tribe.
He may possess one mark Of distinc-
ton only or many. In fact, he may be
so well of In this respect that, like
some English noblemen, he Is able to
don a new distinction for every occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his
honorS at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one deslg-
mated by the symbol Of the dogfish.

Gus parts OF the fish are scattered

face; the peculiarly long Snout Is paint
ed on the forehead the gllls are repre-
scented by two curved lines below the
eyes, while the tail is shown as cut In
two and hanging from either nostrll.
When only one or two parts Of an ami

an indication Of inferiorty: when the
whole animal appears. even though In
many oddly assorted parts, the sign
Is one Of great value and indicates
high rank.
