and many of them take advantage OF TINS

which they nave purchased themselves.
The Indian girls are initiated into the
mysteries of the laundry. Boys are also &C.
tailed for this work. particularly where the
laundry is run by machinery.
At Grande Ronde, Ore. the school laun-
dry is in charge of a full-blooded Indian.
Mrs. La Rose Quenel. whose assistants are
girls and boys, all performing their parts

In Idaho and Kansas an outing system

proved successful during the last summer.

of and a part in civilized life.
The girls are competent to do housework,
for which they receive wages, and thus. in
addition to the other advantages, gain the
experience of self-support.
AS Uncle Sam knows that all work and no
play makes Indians dull girls, he INDUCES
them in healthful games. the most popular
of which is basketball.
There is a belief at Carlisle, Pa, that this
years team can't be beaten. In the finely
equipped gymnasium of the school an in
structor drills classes daily. and the pres
ent team IS the pick of 1903.
All the inherited tendencies of the girls
their habitual swiftness. suppleness and en-
durance-particularly fit them to excel In
this sport.
In many of the schools there is a weekly
social evening. consisting of games and
dancing. Light refreshments are served.
the girls being permitted to prepare the
food on a small cooking stove in an adjoin-
ing room. A teacher is always present to
direct the games. but her chief occupation
is to teach them social etiquette.
That manner improve morals is part of
Uncle SANS creed. In some of the boarding
schools. notably in Oklahoma. the girls and
the boys are not separated at their meals,
but put together at the tables.
This arrangement improves the manners
Of both.
The embryo Indian housekeepers present

knock at Uncle Sans door-some in rags,
some in tags, but rarely one in a civilized
garment.
BY the 1udicious use of soap and water
and a change OF clothing a transformation
Is soon effected.
In some parts Of the Far West the old In
dams, "heads of families" do all in their
power to prevent their daughters from 60
ing to or remaining in the schools.
When their interference becomes too
troublesome the agent has to resort to ex-
treme measures and finds it effective to
shut OF their rations for an issue or two.
This usually brings them to terms.
In Utah the Indians show such opposition
to the schools that it is frequently neces-
sary to get the girls by force. The agents,
however, persist in their efforts and some
times succeed later in winning the heads

lowed to leave until she has become an ex-
pert baker.
This includes more than the making of
the bread. She is taught that only scrupu-
lously clean and washable dresses must be
worn in the bakery; that special attention
must be given to the cleanliness of the
hands and nails. The care of the bread
pans sacks. boards and boxes is important,
while the care Of the fire and oven is a
lesson in itself.
Then there are practical talks on white
bread is-the different grades of wheat, the
most important cereal; the difference be-
tween flour made from winter and from
spring wheat; making yeast, setting sponge,
mixing, molding and baking; why the starch
in -four should cook thoroughly, which can
only be done by molding the dough to
such a form that the heat will penetrate
to the center; how long to cool the loaves
before they are put away, and last. hut not

dainty slices and serving them on a rlate

t a day school in South Dakota Uncle
Sam provides the lunch rations, and the
girls. assisted by a teacher, prepare the
lunch there.
The meal usually consists of coffee, bread,
bacon. beans. dried fruit and syrup. Bean
soup is the most popular dish. and es the
allowance of beans is sometimes scanty the
soup is often merely lone bean and two

In Oklahoma. on the contrary, beans as

butter, eggs, as well as timed meats in
great variety.
Sewing circles and quilting bees are in
great vogue among the Indian girls and
women in the Rainy Mountain district of
Oklahoma. The idea was suggested by q
New England teacher who wanted to cult.
vate social instincts among the Indians with
whom she was associated.
Her suggestion to the girls that they as
semble weekly in the homes Of one another
to sew met with immediate response from
mothers and daughters, with the result that
an unusual amount of work was accom-.

At the end of the meeting his teacher
taught them how to make, serve and par.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDA REPUBLIC.
Choosing the bulls for the "Corrida'' in
Mexico is not as simple a matter as the
uninitiated imagine.
The method OF selecting them was wit
messed last March by A. L. Ludwig Of Ne.
614 Walnut street. who was travelling in
Mexico for pleasure, and at the same time
advertising the Worlds Fair.
t that time he had occasion to visit the
estates of Senior Don Nicholas del Moral,
San Jose Parangueo. Valley Of Santiago.
The senior has an immense herd of bulls,
raised especially for fighting purposes.
On this occasion Mr.. Ludwig viewed the
selection of four bulls 'or the 'Corrida' to
be held at Durango soon after.
He travelled to the scene in a carriage
with one of the famous toreadors of the
day, Senior Joaquin Lonar.
Lonar had been delegated to choose the
animals for the Durango AFFAIR.
The most skilled toreador is usually given
charge of this business.
The success Of the fight depends upon the
ferocity of the .'brayos." as bulls are called
by the Mexicans.
II anything will start a riot In q Mexican
crowd 1t Is a tame bull fight.
The management is expected to have the
most dangerous animals procurable for his
~toreadors to face.
II there is not enough excitement in the
ring to satiat the overwrought nerves Of
the spectators. they are liable to give vent
TO their wrath In an unpleasant manner.
So this bull-choosing is very important.
Mr.. Ludwig took his camera with him and
made snapshots while safely seated upon
the stone wall OF the corral.
In the middle Of one corral Is placed a
dummy figure, dressed in toreador style.
DUMMY PLACED IN
MIDDLE OF ENCLOSURE.
From another inclosure a bull is driven
into the corral that is to be the scene Of
selection.
He is about . years old and has in his
veins the blood Of the famous Spanish
'sbrayos."
His horns are long and sharp.
His eyes are bloodshot and glittering with
rage, IL he has been properly dieted.
He stands 8 moment. taking in the sit
uatton.
In the middle Of the inclosure stands tie

red "capa' in hand.
Then the 'tcapa' is waved like a sheet Of
blood and the bull begins to below.
He seems fascinated by the tantalizing
object. -
AL his energy is focused in the desire
to destroy the thing.

Uncle Sam Is trying to create.
The homes Of the Indians when Uncle
SANS agents first take a peep into them do
not lead them to believe the Indian ever
has heard that Cleanliness is next to god
lIness." So cleaning is the beginning OF
the housekeeping programme.
When the Indian girl of Oklahoma is
taught to clean house she calls 1t making

a way that would satisfy the most exact
ing New England housewife.
This Is started by instructing the girl to
move everything out of the house to sun
and dust it. As the possessions Of the In
dian are not many, this does not take long.

scrubbed with soap and hot waterfalls.

Simple curtains provided by Uncle Sam
are put up at the windows and a few pic

moved in and arranged in order. Is it any
wonder the Indian girls calls it making
the house new?
A knowledge of cooking being the most
essential OF the housekeeping arts. the
girls are taught it at the Indian schools In
all its practical branches.
How to make soups. prepare and cook
vegetables. make n bake bread. pies and
simple puddings are the chief things
taught. Many of the girls become excellent
bakerS.
At Phoenix, Ariz.. where there is one of
the best equipped of Uncle Sans schools,
there is q fine bakery. which not only sup
plies the school table with appetiz:ng.

how to make many kinds for family use.

and cause the bull to bleed at the mouth
or nose.
The weapon is inserted in the shoulder
and driven downward with a deterous turn
of the wrist, SO that the heart is pierced.
If one stood exactly behind the bull when
he is slain, it would appear that the mata-
dor threw himself sauarely between the
horns.
A less Skillful man would swerve a little
from the dreadful horns.
1t is seldom that these rules, which have
prevailed in Spain for centuries, are
changed.

During their growth they are fed on grass

Sage-fed bulls are the most ferocious.

not given a morsel to eat, or a drop to

BULL FIGHTING is AN EXPENSIVE
AMUSEMENT.
Four animals are used at an average cost

They are paid from 500 to $500. accord

Their duty Is to tire the bull out by jab-
