AN ANCIENT TRIBE.

Twelve Survivors Discovered of a Curious Indian Race. A remnant of a once powerful and numerous Indian tribe has just been discovered by Franz Boaz near the head of Portland canal, in British Columbia. Dr. Boaz has devoted his life to the study of the Indian race in America. In the interest of the Berlin Museum and the British Association, he went west to British Columbia from Chicago a few months ago, having heard during the World's Fair that one of the British Columbia’s Indian tribes possessed many of the distinct characteristics—physical, religious, social and mental—of the ancient Egyptians, from which their legends would indicate that they had descended. On arrival the investigator learned that the tribe he sought, now almost extinct, had a home somewhere in the Naas River country, whither he hurried. He found that the tribe had once ranged the great extent of country from Behm’s canal In Alaska to Cape Fox, and extending down to the Naas river, but that unable, by reason of their more peaceful disposition and pursuits, to oppose the inroads of Indians from the coast and from the Rockies, the tribe had grown smaller and gradually smaller, until now but twelve souls remained of what was once a great people. They have even lost their name, the present tribal name, Tsotsout, being taken from the Naas river language, in which it is synonymous for slaves. These Indians differ in appearance, measurements, history and customs from any other Indians of America, and are apparently a distinctive family. Dr, Boaz does not, however, agree with those who have pronounced them ancient Egyptians. Their sociology possesses much in common with that of the Pharaohs and their legends also are all of the ‘‘great river.” But the expert floes not consider this sufficient to establish anything in view of physical dissimilarities. He has taken careful and voluminous notes, however, which he will study and compare on his return to London and Berlin. The language of the Tsotsouts is, he says, remarkable in its likeness to the Egyptian.

"Don'ts” for Women.

Don’t wear a veil with a hole In ft. It gives a woman a squalid look of poverty that there is no excuse for. Veils cost little, and at the worst she can go without one. Don’t lift up your skirt, high on one side and allow it to trail on the other. Every woman should practice holding up her skirts before a pier glass. They can be so caught altogether in the back as to lift them effectively and modestly. Don’t wear a hat too young unless you wish to look old. A sailor hat can be confidently recommended as calculated to make any mature wonlan look like a grandmother. Don’t wear a bang bigger than the moment’s fashion justifies if you don’t wish to look hopelessly vulgar. It is a general law that you can always do a simpler thing than the fashion with safety, but to be fussier than the fashion is to be lost to good taste and dead In vulgarity and commonness. Don’t wear your clothes tight if you are too fat. Don’t cut yourself in two uear the knees with a coat that strikes you about there if you are a short woman. Nothing detracts more from an appearance of height. Don’t forget in arranging your headgear that the effect of the} modern variations of the Alsatian bow depends altogether on fine shades of placing it You can have horns growing horizontally out of your temples and feel fashionable, but you will look crazy and ugly. These bows can be set well back on the head or they can be put forward if they seem to come from near the top of the head, but they must not grow out of the temples. Don’t forget that pointed openings of the dress at the throat are becoming only to slender women.

The Empty Chair.

Those who have lately attended the concerts of the Chicago Orchestra, under the direction of Theodore Thomas, have observed a vacant chair at the left center of the stage (as you face it). In front of the chair is a music rack, with music on it, but no one comes to site in the chair and the music is not turned except when some member of the orchestra seated near by puts new music on the rack during the intermission. The vacant chair was formerly occupied by Vigo Anderson, principal flute player of the orchestra. He committed suicide a few weeks ago under the most dramatic circumstances. When the orchestra was first called together after his death his chair and the music rack, with the music for the first flute, were there watting for him. They have been left in the old place ever since to quietly signify that the artist is not forgotten.—Chicago Record.

Philanthropic Miss Cooper.

Miss Julie Cooper, a niece of Peter Cooper, is the one of the family on whom the great philanthropist's mantle has fallen, though the public knows but little of her wide charities. She is a handsome woman of the world, who conceals as far as possible her constant good works. She supports a kindergarten entirely at a cost of S3OO a month, and that is only one Item in a long list.

Health and Pearls.

The physical condition of persons wearing pearls is said to have a decided influence on the stones. The acids with which the blood of people afflicted with certain forms of disease is charged seems to have an injurious effect upon the emblem of purity as does also the perspiration of those who are impregnated with certain medicines containing mercury.

RENSSELAER JASEPR COUNT/. INDIANA FRIDAY. MAY 3, 1895

The Philadelphia Record says that the honest western farmers who sold their herds of sheep for a song last fall, on the advice of the tariff panic mongers, must be particularly grateful to their advisers in view of the present prices of mutton, as well as of wool. Marsha] Field, the head of the big Chicago dry goods firm said, after a tour in the south, that busiuess uas improving all along the line. “A very marked improvement in our trade has set in,” said Mr. Tield, “and we have reason to believe that it will continue to improve. The new tanff is all right. Business is better because there is an increased demand for goods reduced in values by the new tariff schedules. The manufacturers will not suffer, They have suffis cient protection under the new law.”

A corretpondent from Colorado writes The Argus that the Puebla mills are shipping bar i±on and bar steel to the English market. Think of that you believers in the necessity for “a high tariff for protection against the ft auper labor of England.” American steel and iron makers running their mills to produce material for shipment two thousand miles across the tontinent and three thousand miles across the ocean, and then sehing it at a profit in free trade, pauper labor Englund! This is all the evidence necessary to prove that tnis country can make steel, and iron cheaper than any other country in the world, and the demand for protection is only a demand for the privilege of robbing the American people —LaPorte Argus.

Free Lumber.

A dispatch from Detroit tells of some of the benefits the country is getting from free lumber: Placing lumber on die free list brought a tremendous boom to American sawmills. Millions of feet of Canadian logs are being rafted to this side of the line, and die voice of the merry buzz sawis heard throughout the land. Alger, Smith &. Co. will raft 50,000,000 feet of logs to Detroit and Ecoilrse From Black river and will also send 20,000,000 fed from Georgian Bay o Cheboygan, to be manufactured there. Brownlee &Co will raft 3,000,000 feet from Cheboygan to hei ’ mills at Kiver Bogue. 'fhe Delta Lumbei C i. hag puichased the Moffatt mdl and will raft 4,000,000 feet from Georgian Bay and vicinity and 12,000,000 feet from Manistique. These are sam« pies ot work that have’ heretofore been impossible to do economically in the United States. If the mills boom American labor must get the benefit, and if lumber is plentiful and cneap more building will be done. This in turn will give more work for mechanics and better homeland more comforts for the people. Then, too, our already scanty forests will be preserved longer, which will be of immense benefit to agriculture. The Democratic tariff is talking for itself.

Attack On the Salary Law.

The l&dianapolis Sentinel says the county officers will test the new law: “The County officers’ association is taking steps to attack the fee and salary law of 1895. The auditors and treasurers are the ones directly interested, as the law only gives

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

A Railroad Man Cured. Mr. Tom E. Kline, an engineer, forty years of age, residing at 640 East Ohio street, Indianapolis, Ind., who has run an engine for two years on the Wabash road, and thirteen years on the Monon road, much of that time having been the en gineer on the fast newspaper train has, f° r ? ast tea y ears > sneered from iudigestion in its worst form. He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain. This indigestion caused chronic diarrhoea and sleeplessness. He had to very carefui as t° coum only eat as simple a food as potatoes sparingly. He took four boxes of LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS, and now he can eat anything. His digestion is perfect; he can sleep well, and he gives it as his opinion that the medicine does everything that is claimed for it He heartily recommends it to all persons suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder.

them compensation equal to the fees collected in th°ir offices, which would not pav for stationery used. A circular issued by the auditors announces that the law firm of Gilchrist <fc Deßruler. of Evansville, has been retained to fight the case through the Supreme Court for them for the sum of SI,OOO. The treasurers will also bring another suit “Tne suit will place AttorneyGeneral Ketcham in an embarrassing position, as he may be called upon to defend the law for the state Should he win it would ta’kp. SB,OOO per year out of his pock it and should he lose it he will be enriched by the same amount. It is thought that he wifi ask the governor to name special counsel to defend the interests of the state. ’

“Kid” Landis, of the Delphi Journal, in the last campaign was emphatic and positive in bis assertion that the foreign jobber paid the f ariff tax on goods bro’t to this country, and that the consumer heie did not pay it. A change seems to have come over his dreams. Wo quote from an article copied and indorsed by the Rensselear Republican. He says: “Listen a minute: The present tariff law cuts down the rate paid by importers bringing goods into the country. We thus have increased importations and decreased revenues.” The revenues for the first six months under the present tariff amounted|to $79,686,450 T’nder the last six months of the McKinley monstrosity,the amount was 04,786,541 Increase of customs receipts under present law $14,899,915 In the same article tl e ‘kid’ says “At the same time these imported goods take the place of goods formerly manufactured in this country and thus keep tens of thousands of men in idleness.”

Under the present law a great many articles in the class of “raw material"’ are admitted free, and the result is thus announced by a foreign correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, the leading organ cf the “kid’s” party: Meantime, American boots aie walking into the English market-, andtheEnglsh maksrs are undersold. The machinery against which the English bootmakers struck is the secret. If their strike had succeeded, high wages and slower production might have crippled the English boot trade and left both men and employers stranded. It is not certain now that they oan hold 1 heir own in their own country against Am< rican competition. What the correspondent says concerning the boot industy is true iii the case oi many others. The present law has furnished an outlet for the over production of this country, and instead of keeping tens of thousands of men in idleness, those thrown out of employment through the onerations of the McKinley bill are fast being reinstated and if the ‘kid’ can't see this he either ‘ hasn’tsens enough to grease a gimlet and deserves to go hungry and barefooted” or is engaged in a brazen attempt at deception, and deserves to have his trains s’olen oh every occasion that he may be a candidate for congressional nomination.

Pop-corn pops because the essential oil in the corn is converted ! nto gas by heat, and thus an ex plosion occurs which tears the k?rnal open and causes a singular inversion of its contents.

Who Are the Debtors?

It is stated also that theinteres o f debtors demand the fr ee and un limited coinage of silver. Who arthe principal debtors 1 ourcoune try? First, and largest of all, the United States; then the States, the municipalities, the banks, the railroads,the iusurancecompanies, the savings banks and other great corporations. These at e the principal debtors, and they owe millions of money. If free coinage is needed by debtors, we see who, the princi - pal beneficiaries will be. They originally received sound money; are they to be allowed to pay in depreciated money ? Should their debts be debts of dishonor? or should they be required to pay as they borrowed, in full honest dollars, and thus preserve ciedit and

honor? Wherever there is a debtor there is a creditor, and the people are generally the creditors.— The men who work by the day or month earn honest dollars, and they should be paid for their, toil in sound money. Tho creditors of savings banks ind building associations are those who, week after week and month after month, have deposited their hard earnings, and sound money was deposited by them as the result of their and labor. If we have fr 'e and ur limited coinage of silver, and the results are the same as tliQy have been in other countries und<r similar circumstances, these depositors would not get back money oi the sam value as that vhich they putin. Those who have insured their property or their Jives m the great insurance companies of the country have year by year paid good money and sound currency to keep alive their policies; when nay day comes should not the insurance companies bo compelled to pay policy-holders in sound, hon est dollars ? Should not the farmer who toils in sunshine and storm, through many w.-ary davs to make his crop, be paid m money as good as gold for that which (lie sells ns the result of hig toil?

It is known to .11 that our silver dollars do not pass for 100 cents upon their merits, but are uphold by the law a. d the faith of the people that the government will keep them 11 par with gold, regardless of value. If our mints are opened to the free coinage of silver then the same amount of bullion will be just as valuable as the silver dollars into which it is coined, and the effect will be that the value of the silver dollar, under these conditions, will be drag ged down to the market value of the bullion.—Jas. B. McCreary in Courier-, Journal.

Recovery is General.

Speaking of the improved condition of trade and the restoration of the government’s credit the St. Louis Globe-Democrat say h: “The country has met the peril face to face and has overcome it.— We know the worst now that was in store for us, and that worst has passed. It may be a little slow in disappearing altogether,but whether it moves slowly or quickly, we know that it can not come back.— The monthly deficits have reached their greatest figure; the gold fund has touched its lowest level. Every change in conditions that comes will be a change for the better.” “Herein is the reason why treasury deficits are no longer poitentous. Even at the worst their days can no now be long in the la v >d. The general tendency of things everywhere in the financial and business w< rid is toward im 3 rovement. This is true of Europe as well as of the United States. Whatever may have been <he ii. mediate and contributory cause of the recent business sta r - nation the ultimate causes must have been universal, for the r ef* sects were world-wide. The re. covery which ha* set in is equally general aid pervasive. The treasury may not be prompt in res fleeting the improved conditions, but even there the change will soon be apparent.” ♦ ■" ■ A Boston daily paper has just printed a long article in piaise of beer—“the aromatic, sparkling, amber fluid, which, it says, is fast becoming our national drink. It I raises beer as a food, and ns an ai 1 to digestion, and altogethe is as enthusiastic over its virtues and good qualities as if the writer were a brewer with beer to sell, On the other hand, Professor Morse, at‘a recent meeting of the Alumni Association of the Medico-Chirurgin cal College in Philadelphia, made these significant statements; “We are rapidly becoming a nation of beer drinkers, and the insidious hold gained by that incurable kid-. ney affection known as Brigfct’s disease, threatens in time to largely decimate the ranks of the beerdrinkers.” He adds that “it has been conclusively proven that beer and lead poisoning (are the principal factors in producing Bright’s

disease,” and says that “beer shon not be drunk at all, but, if uljtii should never be drawn throng* V lead pipe.” . ,- - L - - -..3 An interesting fact nag'c6mb* cas ' in connection with the Jaff* •salem railway.

A correspondent writes us that: “Contractor Hack is hard at work on the famous Burk bridge crossing the Iroquois river 4j miles north of Rensselaer. A bridge has besn very difficult to maintain at this point on account of the nature of the soil—not being able to make a fill across the fiat adjacent. Au attempt was made to bridge the fiat also, but proving a failun the filling process was resorted to. It is said they dumped in a log school house, rumerous ricks of hay,all the brush and timber from a 20-acre forest, and sand on top of this, which hac partially served the purpose for a few years. A contractor with the nerve and patience to undertake to build a pile bridge has now been at work for two weeks or more and has succeeded in finding good foundation at from 35 to 50 feet below the surface. He occasionally has trouble in driving piles thr jugh tho old school house. The bridge is to be about 300 ft long, with bents about every 16 ft; each bent is composed of four oak piles from 35 to 50 feet in length. Upon these will bo placed sills on which to attach the flooring. Mr. Hack is sparing do pains to make a good bridge here, and I feel assured that in the near future there will be no trouble in crossing the river at this point and the people from the n rth will not have to draw their heavy loads of produce so far around to market through lack of this facility.
