LAST OF THE cARl5S
Two Thousand Perished In the Vol
cano Blast on ST. Vincent.

I
cano Blast on ST. Vincent.
Ethnologists are Interested in the
report that the eruption of Mount
Soufriere, ON st. Vincent, destroyed
virtually all of the Carib indians who
resided on that island, the largest
group of these aborigines to be found
in the West Indies. Two thousand OF
them, it is declared by the relief par
ties; persisted with the first blast from
the volcano. They we're worshipers OF
the fire god and In consequence OF
this faith huddled in their villages
around the base of the mountain
which had been inactive for about
ninety years. Now they have been de-
stroyed by their fetch and thus there
is a certain romance In their tragic
fate. There are now but few pure
speciments of the old Carib stock to
be found in the West Indies, probably
mere handful on the Islands of st.
Lucia and Dominica constituting the
sole remnant of that branch of the
human family.
The Caribs were the native inhabi-
tants of the islands discovered by
Columbus. They were peaceful peo-
pie. easily governed and until mixed
with the blacks from Africa and the
were decent in their lives. The ex-
tent to which they degenerated when
touched thus by both the higher and
relatively the lower races is shown
in the Island of San Domingo. where
the voodoo rites of the mixed race.
mainly black, are of most revolving
nature and shocking cruelties are prac-
ticed In the name Of religion.
The Caribs had many OF the traits
of the Indians of the continent and
none of the civilization of the Aztecs
They seem to have been more closely
related to the former. They have
gradually disappeared as a pure race
until now nature has almost complet-
ed the process of elimination by a
single convulsion, supplementing the
corrupting and destructive work of
the whites and the blacks The wor-
ship of the fire god which led to the
close association of the unfortunate
st. Vincent Caribs with Mount Sou
friere is a relic of the old pagan rites
which at one time evidently prevailed
throughout the tropical regions of the
Western Hemisphere. Suggestions of
the same faith are strong in the Ha-
waiian mythology, and indeed 1t would
seem that wherever nature has pro-
vided an earth-vent which man calls
volcano the uncivilized people within
its influence have accepted 1t as type
of the diety.
Investigators into the religions of
mankind have discovered that savages
and barbarians worship the element
which displays the greatest power TO
them. The sun and the storm are re-
garded by the Africans as gods to be
propitiated, ruling agents in their af-
fairs. The sea becomes a god to the
people who draw from 1t their means
Of sustenance when 1t is complacent
and which destroys them when 1t is
angry. Had there been VOLCANOES In
North America during The era marked
by the development of the Indians as
the first white settlers found them,
doubtless the mythology of this con-
tinent would have been strongly i'm
pregnated with the fire worship which
dominated the religion of the Caribs
and other denizens of the central and
southern sections of the western
land.

THE FILTER CRANK.
Knew All About Purifying Water, but
Ended by Making a Purchase.

The man of the house happened tC
be in the kitchen when the peddlel
called at the rear door.
Good morning, sir" said the ped
dler. IF you are interested in hav
ing clean water, as every citizen ought
to be, YOU might like to look at lit
tie instrument | am selling. It"
It's filter, | presume, interrupt
ed the man of the house. "Well, sir
it's no good
1--WE sold lot OF them in this
heighborhood. All you have to do
with it is to put it on your faucet,
and"
MY dear sir, l have experience
with all kinds of filters, and | tell you
they're no good We used one for
several years that we paid over s14
for. and took it off six months ago
and threw it away"
But this one"
1T can't be any better than the
best, can it? Look herel Don't you
know that the idea of purifying water
by fltering it Is all nonsense?"
TT takes the dirt out, doesn't it?"
Same as a sponge would. Say, do
you know that if you filter turpentine
the result is turpentine? Run a gal
Ion of whisky through filter and you
get a gallon of whisky snakes, and
all. Same way with vinegar Same
with corrosive sublimate. Same way
with cider, beer, or alcohol. 1t
doesn't make any essential change in
the liquid"
But"
Same way with water. If the wa.
ter is charged with ammonia you're
not going to get the ammonia out of
1t by filtering it, are you?"
But you can strain out the sand
and the insects, and the little four
legged things that look like aligators."
ooh, yes. and you can do that with
a rag Let me tell you, sir, the only
way to make the hydrant water ap-
solutely wholesome is to boil it. Boil
1t at least an hour. Then the am
moniacal gases in it are eliminated,
the organisms are rendered harmless,
and there isn't case of typhoid fever
in q million gallons of it. Do you
know why threw away my expensive
filter? Because | found. by my sense
of smell. that the water was the same,
to all intents and purposes, that 1t
was before L"
But"
And l found that 1t was different
after 1t had been boiled. You boil
your water the evening before, pour
it into big jar, and It will be cool
enough for drinking next morning or
you keep 1t in one of these water
coolers, with an ice chamber in the
middle"
q was only going to say. that l sell
these little filters for 25 cents apiece
and they're worth that to"

The Cooperative Nurse.

An employment for young women
that has not yet been exploited is that
of the visiting nurse. This novel idea
was the result of chance meeting of
several matrons in suburban town a
few days ago.
One of the number replied, when
reproached by her hostess for the
long intervals between her calls, that
she could not leave her little boy
alone with her one servant. THE
only time that | can get away Is .oc-
casionally on Friday afternoon" she
said.
This plant led to a comparison of
experiences in that direction. A sec
ond caller had three children and
only one servant, so that her case was
even less hopeful, and third said:
Il have had nurse girls and nurse
girls, and they never know enough to
relieve me of the responsibility of
my baby. They seem to take up this
work because they have an idea they
do not need to know anything in or
der to do It,"
A happy thought came to one wo-
man, as they thus compared griev-
ances. "Why can we not get nurse
on the cooperative plan?" she asked.
Il mean an educated young woman of
refined manners, so that she would
be a safe and desirable companion for
the children. II we could find such
a person who would come one day
every week, and, when needed, at
other times, 1t would relieve us of
many embarrassments.
"Of course, we should have to pay
her decent wages. We have to give
an ordinary scrub woman $1.25 a day,
so we could hardly expect such wo-
man as we want to come for less than
$3.50. For this she might come from
8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
IF we wished to have her services
in the evening, to permit us to go to
the theatre, she might come at
o'clock and stay as long as necessary,
perhaps for so cents. She could
easily find enough to engage her regu-
larly and SO make the work pay her
at least as well as sewing, or many
other occupations"
All present agreed that the sugges-
ton was an inspiration, and i'm
mediately a &c. N Club" was organ
lied, the initials meaning "Co-opera-
tive Nurse" They succeeded In find
ing young woman who had studied
kindergarten methods a little, but
had not been successful in starting a
school in the town. which already had
a popular one.
Thus far the plan is we'll estab-
lished, and the members of the club
are convinced that the problem of
Outings" for them is solved by the
visiting nurse.--New York Tribune.
