The Sumatra Malay.

The house / found myself in, and
which may answer as a type, was built
of bamboo raised about eight feet above
the ground, square, and reached by a lad
der, pulled up at night. The floor of the
single room was made of rattan strung
from side to side, LEAKING open spaces,
through which domestic refuse was
thrown, and housekeeping thus made
easy. In one corner sat Il woman making
baskets, of which in n few simple pat
terms they are industrious weayers; in an
other corner was kind Of box, upon
which the cooking was done in brass pot
of most artistic shape. Around the room
hung the simple and few belongings of
the family, with completed baskets and
the ever smelling fish swinging from the
rafters overhead. In appearance the SUI
matra Malays differ but very little from
those of the Malay peninsula; what diff
ference there is il in their favor Some
OF them affect a trOuser sarong of pro-
nounced peg-top variety, and others wear
rmless hats that advertise religious pill
grlmages, but for the greater part the
natives of the mainland and island are
similar in habit, dress and looks. The
food of the Sumatra Malay is rice. half or
fully rotted fish, and tapioca, which with
gutta percha and rattan constitute the
native industries and articles OF export
though the business of it is practically in
the hands of the Chinese traders. AS
habitual among uneivilized people, the
women do all the work. The men fish,
using traps almost entirely, and hunt
small game with strategy and desultori-
ness; chiefly they smoke cigarettes of ma
tive tobacco rolled in leaf. The men also
chew tobacco and have the unprepossess-
ing habit of pushing the large cud under
the upper lip, where it hangs partially ex-
posed as they talk. Both sexes of all
ages chew the betel nut and few stain
their teeth, although the custom is not
prevalent as in Siam, where black teeth
are the rule, not to say the fashion. An
other trait these people share in common
is their lack of hospitality TO the wayfar-
ing tranger-Outing.

ANCIENT MOHAWK POTTERY.
Interesting Old Jar Found in the Foot
hills of the Adirondacks.

stalking deer during the last hunting sea-
son at the Little Falls of the upper wa
tiers of the Saeondago, near Lake Piseco.
caught in a heavy downpour of rain, was
obliged to seek shelter from the storm
under the lodges of the Little Falls.
While sitting there his attention was at
tracted to what seemed to be q round,
brown boulder partly covered with moss.
Carelessly striking it, it gave forth a hol-
low sound. His curiosity being excited,
he dug away the earth with his hunting
knife and soon laid bare a symmeirically
formed earthen jar.
The jar stands ten inches high. At it's
largest circumference it measures thirty
inches, and at its smallest twenty inches.
The circumference of the top, or mouth,
of the jar measures twenty-four inches
The vessel on the inside bears signs of
use, but the outside shows no trace of
fire, as is usual in Indian Jars. The bot
tom is rounded. The ornamentation
around the top is of the usual style of
the Mohawk pottery,-that is, series of
straight and diagonal lines The lar still
bears the moss that had gathered on the
rounded bottom that was exposed above
the earth.
The jar is a well preserved specimen of
Mohawk pottery, and is rare on account
Of the shape of the top, which is cut in
three curves, forming three points, which
give it triangular appearance
1t Is singular fact that the three
largest specimens of Indian pottery now
in the valley were found in the lake
region of the foothills of the Idirondacks
the Richmond jar, the Hanson jar and
the Horracks jar
The Horracks jar is in the possession of
W. Max Reid for the present and is an
interesting study. 1t is not as large as
the Hanson jar, hut to those interested
ilt the life and affairs of the Original
Americans is of equal value.-Amster-
