Dress Of south African Tribes.

Fashions among the native tribes of
South Africa are thus described by a
recent writer: During one season the
people are all wearing safety pins as
earrings; the next season no n will
look at them. for pins are out and
buttons are .in.' In one tribe blue
spotted cotton handkerchiefs are all
the rage, but fifty miles away no II
will look at such things-they want
cotton shirts. The only universal orna-
ment, perhaps, consists in beadwork.
Some tribes. such as the Fingoes and
Hulus. take to beadwork more than
others: the. n thing they are all con-
4sistent insis a strangely good taste for
color combination. They never indulge

thus bearing out Ruskin's statement
that bad taste IN color does not arise in
people whos are left to themselves and
nature" Hakdressing is a p~rodigious
business among them. The process is
assisted by a liberal use of red clay,

LESS THAN HALE CAPACITY.


The ground actually covered by
the capitol building at Pierre is 40
per cent greater in are than the
ground actually covered by the city
hall building at Mitchell.
The total floor space in the capitol
building at Pierre is more than 100
per cent greater than the total floor
space available for capitol purposes,
remaining in the city hall building
at Mitchell after devoting the base
ment to city Offices and the storage
Of state records nov deposited in
the basement of the capitol at Pierre
Therefore, if the capitol should
be removed to Mitchell, the state
would inevitably be compelled to
provide itself a new building, by
direct appropriation and before
funds could be secured by sale Of
capital lands, because the city hall,
about which Mitchell boasts SO
much, is ~holly inadequate for two
reasons:
First, II is not half large enough
To accommodate the Offices and their

IdIt ol the MITCHELL building IS
is two stories above the basement.
and part of it is only one, the audi
forum, go by 90 feet, extending
from the first floor to the roof.
Apportioning the basement Of the
Mitchell building to the city officers,
and to storage of old territorial
documents now stored in the base
ment Of the capitol at Pierre (25 by
go feet, o. 1900 square feet, would
leave only the upper stories of this
Mitchell building available for cap.
itol purposes, as against the upper
stories Of the capitol building at
Pierre.
The first story Of the Mitchell
building, without making any allow
ance for the walls, has a floor space
of $3.50 square feet--the same as
the buildings ground area. The
second story includes only 1850
square feet of floor space, after TAX
ing out the upper portion Of the
double story auditorium, which is
go by 80 feet.
So this first story of $3.50 square
feet, plus this second story of 1850
square feet makes a total of 1890
square feet as the entire capacity of
the Mitchell building available for
capitol purposes, after providing
quarters TOR the city government,
as must be done under the law, and
quarters for storage of old territorial
documents which absolutely must be
supplied.
On the other hand, all Of the
Pierre building is two full stories
above the basement-l3,5 500 feet on
the first floor and 1920 feet on the
second foor-making a total Of
27,040 square feet of floor space
available for capitol purposes in the
Pierre building, as against 1890
square feet of available floor space
in the Mitchell building.
This makes the portion Of avail
able floor space in the Pierre build
ing, for current capital purposes,
more than 100 per cent greater
more than double the available floor
space in the Mitchell building.
The capitol at Pierre was built
expressly for state house purposes,
with both senate and house chambers,
while the Mitchell building has only
one auditorium, extending up
through two stories. If another
chamber shall be provided in this
city hall building, it must be done
by taking two rooms and combining
them, thus reducing the supply of
Offices or Legislative committee
rooms, which already are far and
away below the requirements.
The capitol at Pierre give to each
officer an independent commodious
vault for records, and the Mitchell
building would not.
So, therefore even il the city Of
Mitchell had the power to grant the
use of its city hall building for CAPT
tol purposes (which it has not, as
any lawyer will say, nevertheless, in
case Of removal, the state would at
once be compelled to build itself a
capitol because it would have at
Mitchell less than one-half the room
it now has at Pierre.
And even these restricted Mitchell
accommodations were designed for
state house purposes and therefore
there would be such ssri6ps inter-
ference with public less as
could not be endured, ann e state
would be compelled to bui CAPT
tol for itself, paying for it direct
appropriations from the neral
funds. Pierre Board Of Trad
