Indians. At Chiloooo there are 800 students
OF both sexes. representing forty different
tribes. The young men and m chosen
for the parts entered into their work with
great zest. They were drilled by their
teachers. The ext used was adapted
from Longfellow's poem by Chilocoo
teachers.
About forty young Indian men and
women were in the cast. Their costumes
were historically correct. Hiavdtha wore
portions Of the historic n sacred wampum
belts Of the Wyandotte tribe. which de-
soended to him as heirlooms. Il Is asserted
that these shell beads were made as early
az tho fourteenth century.
The performance was given out OF doors.
In a little valley near the school buildings
is a lagoon about three hundred yards
in width and a quarter OF o mile In length
Here O large platform or stage probably
eighty feet wide and forty feet deep was
built on piling. about . hundred and fifty
feet from the west shore. on which tiers Of
seats were erected for the spectators.
With much labor the Indian students
transformed this platform into a forest.
At each side on the edge Of the forest
stood q white tepee. and at tho door Of one
blazed q Ere. From the shore to zach
end Of the stage wero strung cables Of In
candesoens Lights. while electric refectors
flooded tho stage with light when the in
candesoents ware darkened.

arriving from tho country and nearby
towns. In carriages, wagons and on horse

speakers could be heard as distinctly across
the water - II they were only q few feet
distant.
The effectiveness Of the performance was
heightened by its fidelity to Indian customs.
The drumbeating had the oldtime sound
familiar to persons who have visited re-
mote Indian reservations, and the dances
were stepped to the queer music Of the In
dian. The young men and women spoke
their lines easily. with much expression
and without embarrassment.
Landing at the island, the warriors beard
the voice OF Gltohis Mantle admonishing
them to desist from their wars with one
another. The pipe Of peace was passed
round the circle, some accepting and others
rejecting II.
Again 1t was passed and all the warriors
smoked. Laying aside their weapons, they
knelt in a long line by the riverside and
washed the paint from their faces. The
forest island hung glowing in the darkness,
washed by q celestial river.
Perhaps the prettiest scene was the
wedding feast Of Hiavdtha and Minnehaha.
The Indian maidens sat winnowing grain,
pouring It into wooden bowls as they re-
moved the husks. Thu young warriors,
home from the chase, played at native
games, TESTING with one another and telling
stories.
The wrestling Of Hidpathd and Mondamin
was highly impressive. Alone they
struggled with ZACH other. Hiapathd faint

seemed futile. Monddmin sank to the

grave to bless forever the people Of VIC

OF CORN HUSKS AND CARPET.
Two Grinding Wheels Used for Polishing
tho Teeth OF the Combs.

the Teeth OF the Combs.
There are many kinds OF grinding wheels,
but perhaps as curious as any is the corn
husk wheel which is used for grinding
combs.
The teeth OF some sorts OF combs. after
they have been cut. still need to be
rounded on the edges and smoothed and
finished all around. which could not be
lone on a solid. fat faced wheel. For this
there is required a wheel Of some material
that will work around the edges OF the teeth
and also in between them. The cornhusk
wheel serves this purpose well.
For the making Of such a wheel dried
corn husks are used. They are laid together
and tied in little bundles Of a dozen or so,
III butts all at one end and the points at
the other.
THE cornhusk grinding wheel is 20 inches
in diameter. made up Of such little bundles
of cornhusks placed with their butts against
n secured to the spindle on which the
wheel Is to turn. the husks radiating from it
all around. When a sufficient number of
bundles OF husks TO form the wheel have
thus been placed againstl the spindle the
wheel Ia compressed. to make IL not solid
but compact, n give It the width OF face
required,
The wheel built up in this way Of corn
husks is mounted. and run by power. The
WorkHnan using water ana powdered pumiCe
stone In the grinding. stands with a tray OF
combs TO be ground on a table at hand, and
one after another holds the combs against
the wheel. The life OF a cornhusk grinding
wheel is only four or five days.
Another interesting wheel to be seen in
the shop where they finish combs is a polish
ing wheel OF carpet covered with muslin.
This wheel has n smooth. and when in use
fiat. rim. which. however. will yield any
where under pressure, and so when a comb
Is held agaisnt it this wheel adapts itself
readily to all the combs rounded or
moulded surfaces. and thus can be made 10
polish it perfectly everywhere.

INVISIBLE SNAKES.

Ordinary Passer's Eye.

The fact that snakes are rarely seen
even when they are abundant was i'm
pressed upon the mind of the. writer
one day while waiting for a train at
small station in New Jersey. A nearby
culvert. where small stream flowed
under the junction of the railway and
a we'll travelled public road, seemed
favorable place for them. The stone
wall laid up without mortar, which
supported the approach to the bridge
had q southern exposure. The chinks
afforded ample hiding place, and the
reedy borders of the stream promised
good hunting for the species whfchsliye
upon small fish, frogs, toads and earth
worms.
The fiagman, who for several years
had passed ten hours day at his lei-
surely occupation there, denied that
there were snakes in the vicinity. mo
more than there be in Ireland, an it's
not me as would be tendin' this cross
in if there was he asserted. But a
few minutes search in the cutters and
grass revealed four specimens which
had been Under his very eyes-a gar
ter, a worm, a De Kay and newly
Matched milk snake. A new f1agman
was installed there the following day,
