 THE PIPE OF PEACE.
Etiquette of the Calumet Observed by
 the American Indian.

When you read an account of the conclusion of a treaty with the In- dians you are pretty sure to find that the calumet was brought out and hand cd around The calumet is a pipe of peculiar construction. The bowl is of red sandstone, and the stem is of reed, about two and half feet long. The stem is decorated with womens hair and feathers, which hang from it like a fringe.
 This pipe is the famous "pipe of pcace," used by the American Indian. After treaty has been concluded tho pipe is produced and filled with to- bacco. It is then handed to the repre- sentativcs of the party with whom the treaty has been made, and they must take at least one whiff of it. It is afterWard passed around among the Indians present, who also take whiff of it, and that ceremonial ratifies and makes sacred the compact that has just been entered into. The passing around of the calumet is an act of hospitality, and a refusal to take it is considered dire offense. - Chicago News.
