oNAs ARE A GIANT TRIBE.

rferra del FuegO Indians Are Speci-
mems of Perfect Physical Frames.
The Onas, a tribe of Indians inhabit-
ing the mainland of the TERRA del Fue-
80 island, are physical giants. Their
average height Is over feet-a few
are 715 feet, a few fall below feet.
The women are more corpulent and not
so tall. There Is no race In the world
with a more perfect physical develop
ment than the Ona Indians. This Is
partly due to the topography Of the
country and the distribution Of game,
which makes long marches across the
country necessity.
In mentality they fall far below
their physical attachments. In the past
their supply Of game has been plenti-
full and this may account for the lack
Of inventive genius among them. This
lack of progressive skill Is portrayed In
their home life, clothing and homes.
Their children suffer from 1t. For, con-
trary to the practice common among
most Indians of feeding, dressing and
training the children well, the Onas'
little ones are mostly naked, poorly fed
and altogether neglected. They have
abundant material for supplying them
selves with clothing and homes and
yet they throw a few branches togeth-
er, put skins over the windward side
and then SILVER under the miserable
shelter.
Scientists who have made study Of
the subject say the language Of the
Onas is the strangest ever listened to.
Many Of the words are not difficult to
pronounce, nor Is the construction Of
the sentences difficult, but every few
words are interrupted by a sound which
1t is impossible to produce. The speak
er hacks coughs and grunts, distorting
his face in the most inhuman manner,
and then passes on to the next STUN
bling block. The Onas live principally
upon meat which in former years was
obtained from the guanaco.

Peril in Diamond Cutting.

Many people are unaware that con-
siderable danger menaces the cutters
of diamonds In the form of that dread
&c malady, lead-poisoning. In the cut
ting of diamonds the gem to be oper-
ated upon Is fixed In a dope, con-
sisting of hemlspherical brass pan at
the end Of rod of thick copper wire.
The stone can then be set in any de-
sired position relatively to the cutting
wheel by bending the copper wire.
The cutting wheel or disk, which re-
wolves extremely rapidly, is fed by a
polishing medium, consisting of pulver-
lied diamond and olive oil. AS the
work proceeds the diamond is constant
of this medium and ascertain how far
the cutting process has progressed. The
diamond Is set In the dope by means OF
q solder which is az alloy CT lead and
tin. This Is heated until it is knead-
able, when it is pressed into the dope
and smoothed by means of the fingers
around the projecting diamond, which
is thus held firmly in place.
One setter handles about 200 dOpeS
every day. and both he and the dia-
mond polisher get numerous particles
of lead alloy into their fingers and the
palms of their hands, and sooner or
later lead-poisoning is apt to result.
The government Of the Netherlands has
offered prize of 5000 fiorins for a me-
dunn which shall replace the lead al
10y for fixing the diamond in the dope.
The medium must be sufficiently cheap
to be adopted by the diamond settlers
and 1t must fulfill the various cOndi-
tons Of the work. The present alloy,
being good conductor, allows the heat
of polishing to be drawn away by the
copper rod, whereas an ordinary c.
ment would itself become melted

IDA NJ. TARBELL.
One of Americas Most Wonderful
Women

Women.
One of Americas most wonderful
women is Miss Ida M. Tarben who is
now the guest Of Col. Henry Waiter
son, in Louisville, and before she re-
turns to her editorial desk in New
York there is good reason to believe
that some new policy in the marvel
lousy successful fight she has made
on the Standard Oil Company will be
decided upon.
What influence the late Charles A.
Dana had upon the character and ca
reer of Miss Tarbell belongs to that
category Of things that are pleasant
but proftless to speculate upon. She
was for several years that great ed
itor's private secretary and soon aft
er she quit his service she began to
write the history of the Standard
Oil.
One popular fiction concerning her
er is that she became the Nemesis
of the Standard because of an injus-
tice done to her rather years ago by
John D. Rockefeller and assc ciates.
AS a matter Of fact, Mis-, Tarbell's
father was one of the original sue
cessful operators in the Pennsylva-
MIA oil field, and died only few years
ago at Titusville, very we'll eff. He
suffered no more from the Standards
methods than did scores Of his neigh
bors.
Miss Tarbell's brother, W. W. Tar.
bell, is the manager of the Standards
chief competitor in the United States,
the Pure Oil Company, with head
quarters at Philadelphia and from
her brother she learned much Of the
Standards history and practices.
BY the way, although she has writ
ten the best biography extant Of John
D. Rockefeller, she never saw him
but once and has never spoken a
word with him. When asked some
time ago why she did not become per-
sonally acquainted with Rockefeller
before writing his biography, she re-
Piled that she had written good his
tories of Lincoln and Napoleon with
out ever having seen either Of them.

Prayers and Politics.

When the Methodist conference
met in Columbia the other day Gov
ernor-elect AnseI sent his greetings
by one of his ministerial friends and
asked the prayers Of the conference
10 the end that he might have sue
cesseul administration. The request
seems to have been appreciated, for
the conference sent Mr.. Ansel its
love and assured him that he would
be remembered as he had requested.
r.. t.,.s was vo.y sweet and pleasant,
and most ..eeaus,ful to sehold. May
the Methc aists Of South Carolina and
the governor always dwell together
in unity!
But the Baptist convention was in
session at Spartanburg at the same
time the Methodists were gathering
in Columbia. There has been no rec
ord of Mr.. Ansel asking prayers of
the Baptists. Was this an oversight,
or did the governor-elect take it for
granted that the Baptists would pray
Tor him anyhow
Mr.. Ansel is a Presbyterian, if we
mistake not, and yet when the Pres
byterien synod met in Lauren5 a few
weeks ago he did not ask that emil
inently respectable and prayeful
body to pray for him. But perhaps
he considered himself one Of the
predestined and foreordained-one of
the elect, so to speak-and that such
a request would be unnecessary.
There are other religious denomi-
nations that have held their annual
conventions this year. and Mr.. Ansel
has not made the request Of any OF
them that he made of the Method
ists
We are not speaking in any flip
pant or irreverent manner. We do
not want tc be understood when
we say we hope there will be no
heart-burnings or Jealousy over this
matter. We do not believe Mr.. An
sci meant to slight any Of the relig-
ious bodies, or to convey the impress
sion that he thought the prayers Of
the Methodists would be more eff
cacious than those of any other peo-
pie.
But if the Baptists and Presbyte-
rians and his friends and supporters
of other denominations are super
sensitive they may take serious Of
fense, and in that event Mr.. Ansel
may find that his petition for prayers
by the Methodists was the poorest
sort of politics.-Anderson Mail.

WATSON BRoKE NO Law.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Says State Official May Solicit I'm
migrants.


Washington, Dec. 1S.-An import
ant decision has been rendered by
Secretary Straus of the department
Of commerce and labor as to the right
Of a State to induce immigration to
that State. The decision holds, in
brief, that in the circumstances there
rs no violation of the immigration
laws or of the law to prohibit the
importation of alien contract labor
ers in the action Of the State of South
Carolina, in this particular ca e, in
encouraging immigration to that State
or in paying the necessary expenses
of the immigrants in coming to the
State.
The case on which the decision is
based originated in South Carolina.
For some time past the agricultural
and manufacturing industries of
South Carolina have been retarded
and were in danger of material injury
on account Of; the lack of labor. In
order to relieve this condition of af-
fairs the legislature of South Carroll
ma passed an act creating a State
department Of agriculture, commerce
and immigration, e. J. Watson was
appointed commissioner of the de-
partment. He was empowered by
the act to make such arr3rc ccements
with steamship companies and the
immigration agencies in this country
and abroad as would serve best the
interests Of successful immigration,
the necessary expenditures being
made from an approp priation provided
for the purpose. The act authorized
the commissioner to accept contribu-
tions from such citizens of the State
as might wish to assist in bringing
desirable immigrants to South Caro-
lima.
