HOW INDIANS PREPARE MEAT,
Reduced to Powder One Pound Of
which Equals Five Of Solids.


Most tribes OF plains indians dry
their meat by cutting II into thin
fakes and spreading II on racks and
poles in the sun. Pemmican is
manufactured In the following man
ner.
The choicest cuts OF meat are Sc
llected and cut into fakes and dried.
Then all the marrow is collected and
the best of the tallow, and both tai
low and marrow are dissolved to-
gether over a slow fire. Many tribes
use berries In their pemmican.
Mountaineers always do unless they
have sugar.
The meat is now pulverized to the
consistency OF mincemeat, the squaws
generally doing this on fiat rock,
using pestle. A layer OF meat is
spread, about two inches thick, the
sQuaws using q wooden dipper, q
buffalo horn or claw for this work
On this meat Is spread certain
amount OF the melted marrow and
tallow, the proportion depending on
the taste. This same process is re-
peated until the desired amount is
secured. One pound of pemmican IL
equal In nourishment to Ave pounds
of fresh meat.
Another important article Of food,
the equal OF which is not 10 be had
except from the buffalo, is "depuy-
err depouille. II Is fat substance
that lies along the backbone next
TO the hide, running from the shoul-
der blade TO the last rib, and about
as thick as ones hand or finger. II
will weigh from Ave TO eleven pounds
according 10 the size or condition of
the animal. II will keep indefinitely,
and Is used as q substitute for bread,
but Is superior TO any bread that was
ever eaten.
When going on tho warpath the
Indians would take some dried meat
and some "depuyer" to live on, and
nothing else, not even n they we're to
be gone for months.

Then in 1871 she met the tenor, Er-

the whole current of the diva's life
Signor Nicolini was a singer OF no
very remarkable ability. The great
songstress loathed the man, who per
sisted in following her all over Eu-

But Nicolini was persistence itself
He was a friend of the Marquis de

his new wife devotedly. He was the
lover-like husband always.
And Patti loved him, too. When
