ARE MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE
Primitive Race of People Who Are
Without Any Form of
Religion.

London.-A people without any
form of religion, without superstition,
devoid of any thought of the future
state, has been found in the interior
forests of Sumatra, according to DR..
Wilhelm Valez, the g%eologist Of the
University of Breslau, who has made
extensive journeys through the island.
There he found the Kubus, as he
named them, who are scarcely to be
distinguished from the small manlike
ape of the Indo-Malayan countries.
They are wanderers through the for
est seeking food; they have no proper
ty. They are not hunters, but sim
ply collectors. They seek merely suf-
icient nuts, fruits and other edible
growths to keep them alive.
The Kubus wage very little warfare
upon the small amount of animal life
In their silent and somber land. The
only notion that Professor Valez could
get from them of a difference between
a live and a dead person was that the
dead do not breathe. He infers that
they are im~measurably inferior to the
paleolithic man of Europe, who fash
Toned tools and hunted big game with
his flint tipped arrow and knife. In
tellectual atrophy is the result of the
Kubus' environment. The words they
know are almost as few as the ideas
they try to express.

The practical note is emphasized
here" said Mr.. Shelton. That is done
because it is the practical that is go
Ing to be Of most benefit to the Indian.
All the old p~rejudices of the Indians
against the white mans education are
being wiped out. Old Indians bring
their children across the desert for
many miles. and beg me to put them
in school. Sometimes the children
themselves, who have heard from 9TH
er children about the life here, will
run away and show up here at the
agency with the request that put
them in school.
1T is surprising the talent that is
being developed among these Indian
boys and girls. l have an Indian boy
who acts as interpreter and works on
the greenhouse. He has a positive
genius for Horticulture. The school
girls have woven Navajo rugs that
have taken prizes at our annual Nava-
10 fair in competition with rugs from
the looms of the oldest and most ex-
perienced weavers on the reservation.
The children without exception love
the outdoor work in the garden and or
chard. We raise more fresh vegeta-
bles here than we can consume, and
the girls preserve the surplus"

Innocent Answer of Quiet Little Wife
Got Him Started on Train

The husband and wife were on their

began kicking because his wife took
such a long time dressing.
What delayed you this time?" he
growled.
Seeing the children TO bed" she re-
sponded, quietly.
Whats the nurse for?" snapped
the man.
The nurse is for our convenience
yours and mine, especially nine" she
answered. But the boy certainly takes
after you. He asked the same kind OF
a fool question Just as I was kissing
him good night"
Fool question, Ell? Well, what was
it?"
81 asked him II he had said his pray
ers. And he said no. And l asked
him If he didn't want God to take care
of him during the night. He answer
ed: What's the nurse for?'"
For the remainder of the way the

note has been emphasized in the edu-

suits have been so hopeful that those
who were beginning to despair of the
Indians future are taking a new view
of the situation.
1t used to be that when the subject
of Indian education was brought up,
people were told to investigate the
work being carried on at the Carlisle
and other no~n-reservation Indian
schools. But now there are many res
ervation schools which afford an in
teresting study in practical accom-.
plishment.
The Indian school that is generally
accepted as a model for the entire In
dian service is conducted by Superin-
tendent w. T. Shelton at Shiprock, N.
NJ, on the Navajo Indian reservation.
The agency and school were estab-
lished by Mr.. Shelton about eight
years ago. Surrounding the school
and agency buildings are several hun
dred acres of beautifully cultivated
farm land. There is a fine herd of
dairy COWS in the %barnyard and the
boys take turns at the milking in the
model dairy house.
About the agency one finds children
engaged in many useful tasks. A
trained seamstress is teaching a class
of girls the intricacies of needlework.
Other girls, who are under the watch

the building, sweeping, making beds or

Rash ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ITCHED so HE COULD
NOT SLEEP

"On July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
"The trouble started in the form of
a rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have had no
further trouble with baby's skin. Moth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment" (Signed) Mrs.
Margaret Gum, 30 Burrell St., Rox-
bury, Boston, Mass, March u, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be

Misunderstood Gator.

The winter afternoon was like June,
ard, taking tea under a palm on the
lawn of the Royal Poinciana at Palm
Beach, a sportsman said:
This morning 1 photographed an
alligator. My boy, to get him, stripped
and waded into the water up to his
chin. The boy felt about with his
feet in the mud till he found a big
gator. Then he ducked down, grabbed
the gator by the nose and dragged
him slowly ashore to the waiting
lens"
But" said a girl in white, wasn't
It d~angerous?"
Not a bit"
"But l thought alligators ate you!'
mo, no." said the sportsman. You
are confusing the alligator with the
crocodile. The Indian crocodile eats
men and women, but the Florida ALI
gator is as harmless, literally as
harmless, as a cow"

Remarkable Bible Verses.

the t~wenty-first verse of the sew

verse reads as follows: "And l, even

of the God Of heaven, shall require
of you. 1t be done speedily."-Youth's

wall itself is several times wider than
the alleyways along which pedestrians
and rickshas make their devious and
difficult way in that part of the city.
The space acquired by the removal of
the wall should therefore, if used to
best advantage, be Of considerable
value.
1t appears to have been suddenly
discovered that the wall is useless as
a means of defense and that it is an
ugly impeachment to the development
and Improvement of the native quar-
tiers. The work was put in hand i'm
mediately the order went forth from
the town hall works department that
1t was to be executed without fail.
The owners and inhabitants of
shanties IN the wall have been or
dered to remove these, and any
fences, material, etc, which would
impede the progress of the work. An
cutlery might have been expected,
since the scheme had been strongly op-
posed, but the order has been quietly
accepted. In fact very little interest
seems to have been aroused by the
work. ven though it inaugurates a
striking change.
Two of the principal gates in the
city wall of Hangchow have been
removed. At Canton the republican
government has ordered an investiga-
tor as to the population and the num-
Der of houses along the wall inside
and outside the city. The officials
deputed to the work are to report
in a month, submitting a list of the
houses and residents, together with a
scheme for the demolition Of the en-
tire city wall.
