known only to these Indians, and when finished is as soft and pliant as the most expensive chamois skin. Then loving fingers skilifully embroider with uuills beautiful beadwork designs upon the delicately tinted deerskin. Kiowa cradles are more ornamental than those of other tribes, and Kiowa squaws excel in that marvellous Indian beadwork now the popular fad of their pa1eface sisters Some of this beadwork embroidery is not only very beautiful, but very alabo- rate The Sioux squaws, who alone rival their Kiowa sisters, ornament the cradles of their little ones with bands of deerskin, upon which are wrought. in colored beads, gorgeous patterns of men, horses, birds, fish and flowers. In- stead of wooden framework, they sub stitute a basketwork frame of reeds and sometimes they use seed and grasses instead of beads.
 The Cheyenne, Apache and Comanche Indians all use cocoon cradles, pat termed after the Kiowa cradles, but theirs are not ornamented as elaborate Iy as those of the Kiowas. Tn truth, the grim and warlike Comanche of the plains wastes very little time in deco rating the receptacle of his offspring A stout piece of deerskin, fastened to an equally stout wooden frame and laced up securely with rawhide thongs, suffices his simple need.

An exchange says that we are build ing warships, but our merchant ma rine service is on the decline. Editor Pulitzer, referring to this subject, says: we are building thirteen bat tleships to England's ten, Germany's seven and Frances six, and thirteen great armored cruisers, practically bat. tleships, to England's sixteen, Frances six and Germany's two. We are just finishing half dozen smaller cruisers. We have more first class battlesnips al, ready built than any other country in the world except England, and the English editor of Brasseys Naval An. nua1 says that in ten years at the present rate we shall displace Great Britain as the first naval power of the globe. Yet you keep prodding us on. lHow much do you want2 Fifty years ago our navy consisted of few wooden frigates, and our peaceful mer- chant fleets covered the seas. To-day we have over 6OOOO0 tons of steel bat tleships and cruisers, and our mer- chant marine in the foreign trade has shrunk until it is hardly larger than the navy that is supposed to project it.''

The general impression among the American people who regard the In dian as spendthrift and idler, and one who seeks only repose and com, fort, will undergo radical change if the doubters will pay visit to the Pueblo and Navajo camps at the In- dian school at the worlds fair. Super intendent s. M. McCowan is authority for the statement that they have proven themselves to be the most in- dustrious, careful and thrifty of all the Indian tribes. As further tri- bute MT McCowan states that expert ence and a close study of their habits justifies the assertion made by the United States Indian bureau that these tribes will and are rapidly devel- oping into the most intelligent of all the tribes, and are daily becoming less dependent upon the government.

INDIAN BABIES CRADLES.
Various Modes of Wrapping Up the Little Red Skins So That
 They Thrive

Fancy a tiny copper -colored pappoose buckled Up snugly in queer buckskin bag that resembles nothing In nature so much as the cozy cocoon cradle of a baby butterfly. and then draw upon your imagination still further, pictur- ing this odd receptacle swinging from the leafy canopy of an Indian wickiup or brush arbor, and you have before you an Indian baby and his wonderful cradle, says the Los Angeles Times.
 Gorgeous yellow butterflies and brown Kiowa babies are seldom linked together in song or story, yet in real life their wrappings., while in the chrysalis state, bear remarkable resemblance to each other.
 The cocoon cradle proper and it's va rious notifications as found among the different tribes of North American In dians are constructed from the skins of animals. And right here we may pause and trace the origin of another family nursery rhyme to the Indian cocoon cradle. For did not the father of Baby Bunting go a-hunting to get little rabbits skin to wrap that myth ical baby in? All full-blood Kiowa babies are born into the Philo-li-yo-ye, or Rabbit Circle, and are taught to dance in the mysterious Circle of Rab- bits as soon as they learn to toddle, belonging to the Rabbit Order of Kiowa soldiery.
 Hence a rabbit skin would be very appropriate wrapping for a Kiowa Baby Bunting, though neither large enough nor strong enough for his cradle. The red deer of the forest, quarry of the red-skinned hunter, gives of his beau tiful covering to make the cradle that is to swing from the treetop, literally treetops cut from the cottonwoods and elms that fringe the clear little streams rippling through the Kiowa reservation, and piled high on framework of poles. to serve as summer parlor" in front l of his fathers tepee.

The nomination of Judge Herrick
 by the democrats for their standard
 bearer in the race for governor of New
 York pleases Waterbury democrats,
 and they predict his election by big
 majority. They also claim that he will help the whole ticket not only i'll
 that state but in Connecticut, where
 New York influence cuts quite sWath
 in politics. The vexed money question
 has been eliminated from the cam
 paign by the nomination of Judge
 Parker for president and now tho only
 means by which the republicans hope to hold their grasp on the peoples throats is by appealing to party loyal-
 ty among themselves and advocating
 treachery in every other quarter. The
 working. people Of Waterbury. the
 thoughtful ones, will be likely to pause before casting their ballots for the re- tention in power of men who stand for a condition of things that makes it
 necessary for the grocer to charge
 them $7 for a barrel of four, and the
 butcher who would give you pound
 of nice pork chops a few years ago 1 for 9 or 10 cents cannot let you have
 them now less than 15 or 16 cents,
 and some dealers charge IS, although
 it is said that meat took a big drop 1 last week. The additional price does
 not remain in Waterbury. It goes to
 a few wholesale houses in another part of the country, and because the small
 minority of people who are reaping big
 harvests out of the scheme of pooling their stocks and can afford to help pay able speakers to talk unsuspect- i ing victims into the belief that politics
 have nothing to do with such things, l too many take them seriously and in,

 ment they follow the counsel of the campaign orators with the result that
 the common laborer is losing ground at every turn of the road. The manu- l facturers are not worried over the
 coming national election. They know
 their interests will not be jeopardized, no matter which way it goes, but the | office holders feel the situation keenly
 and no effort is being spared on their part to convert everybody to their way of thinking. If every voter looks at the question from a selfish motive, considering only what effect the re- suit will have upon him and his fam 1 fly and the country at large, it will be an uphill job with the eloquent oras tors and plausible newspaper writers to keep people in line for the republl, can partY this fall.
