Hopi Indian RIfes.

Even among the Hopi Indians of the American southwest, where many an- cient ceremonials survived there is a tepdency among the younger Indians to relinquish the long cherished forms. But the Hopis, more than any other tribes, have persisted in the tradition al pagan rites. Here in the isolation of the gleaming desert and mesa coun- try one may witness still the corn dance, the snake dance and other pic turesque ceremonials which the in- fiuences of the white man have as yet little changed. Among all of the Pueblo peoples there has been pre- served much of the old Indian culture. Here more than anywhere else the h. dian has been allowed to have his own life.
 This is easily understood when one considers the character of the Pueblos. Dwelling in ancestral villages cen tury after century. avoiding war when pos sible, and in their remote mesa hoToe. resisting even the disintegrating in- f1uence of the white men, these inter- esting tribes have preserved some sig nificant art, poetry and religious sen- timents which are now in danger of extinction, just as the white student of Indian life is beginning to appreci- ate their value. It seems that in time these characteristic rites will go the way of the tribal cults which the no. madic Indians have largely lost.-De. troit News.

 S-4 to 1 1-4c and oats, 1-2 to 5-s. The outcome in provisions was un,.hanged to

 Bulls in the wheat market made many converts to an assumption that from this

 market during the last part of the ses- sion.
 Corn and oats reflected the wheat bulge and were also influenced b~ export business in corn and by predictions oj | continued unreasonable weather. Provisions were inclined to weakness owing to sympathy with downturns which ] at times took place in the hog market.

Indian cache. This was a pile of buried copper, which was worth a for tune in itself. But it also led to the examination of the rock beneath. in which veins of the metal were found.
 The Indians used copper before the days of Columbus, principally for making ornaments. Ancient Indian skeletons have been found wearing copper masks. The aborigines, how ever. had difficulty in working the metal through the lack of tools. In Michigan they built fires against the rocks containing copper. This some- times produced huge nuggets, or mass copper" which the Indians could nsi- ther divide nor carry away.-Kansas City Journal
