In the proposed new (Jtrir.rin customs tariff the distinction U'twfvn C'.i.rc and fine shoes, as drawn at pres. :it, -will not bo applied, according to Consul (J.ntral IIuKhv.. at Coburg, Gorma. y, in a r port to the State Department d.it. .1 I. c. tf. Mr. Hughes ays that experle:;ee taught th-; German officials that the ai rar.s; merit does not guaranty a sure classification of pood., and that line shoes occasionally would be entered as the low and cheap or.e3 at the hi.h rates of duty. The consul ire r.eral rays that the importation of leather shoes into Germany increases year by year, and if foreign competition does not yet mean danger for the home trade, the Germans think that, in tae abser.co of suMicient protection. It is by no m.ans impossible that their market may be Hooded with fortign sho--s. In fact, he says they note that a start in that direction already has been made, especially from the United States. IsMe the growth of foreign competition, Mr. Hushes continues, the intended increase of Import duty on most kinds of fortan top leather for thots calls for the advance of rates on shoes, accord!:: to German ideaj. The State Department has received from United States Consul Monohan, at Chemnitz, Gt rmany, und r date of Nov. 13, a report giving roir.e interesting figures taken from the last quarterly number of the statistics of the German empire in regard to th" maehiae trade- of the leading counti j. Ac cor. g ti the table, Kngland, the United Statt s and Germany are the most important exporting countries. Id France und Anstria-l iunirary there J3 an unusual demand for machinery, a fact of which, t.iid the consul, our manufacturers should not lose sijrht. . . . ."'. Tiie Stat- Department has received from United States Consular Agent Harris, at i:ivnstock, an interesting report on the euject of Grrman colonial enterprises, !utd Nov. 2-. Mr. Harris quotes from a speeeh Mivcrcd by Dr. Vosli. rg-Uekow, director of the German bureau for the preparation of commercial treaties, before the merchants of Leipzig, as follows: "It is evident that we can never give up our present policy relative to foreign affairs, er the strenuous efforts being made to bee pe a great .sea power. We must inire in colonial polities on a large scale. W must strive to expand our spheres of interest and instill in our people the conM'iousutss of the necessity of an aggressive policy. . It Is only by the annexation of territory beyond the states, the development of our colonies, the organization and direction of emigration to the same that we may ever hope to be In a position to supply those natural products which we are r.ot able to produce within the borders 'of the home country." Mr. Harris points out that while the territory comprised in all of the German colonies abroad amounts to 2,ÖG7,iX square miles, with xt white population of v,,w$ (only a little more than half being German), not a single one of these colonies is pelf-supporting. The total income of the colonies for 1 ' from tariff dues and the like amounted to $.irs,47'.while the deficit, it is state. h reached $',,'j n ,'f-J. The ideal relations between a colony and tlie trot her country, says Mr. Harris, are those which permit the colony to produce the raw material which the mother country receives and pays back in manufactured state, but In accordance with an irresistible law of economics, a colony with great material resources will emancipate itself gradually from the mothtr country. It is doubtful, however," continues Mr. Harris. ,,shetlur this will shortly bo true of any oC the present colonies of Germany.' In almost every part of the world it is stated, where Germany's acquisitions are situated, there is in the immediateneighborhood a colony of Great IJritain or of some other country which Is better able to produce colonial products. "Great Ilrltain." ?ays Mr. Harris, "either directly or through the medium of her colonies has a monopoly of almost half the commerce of the German dependencies." The commercial development of German Southwest Africa. Mr. Harris states, will probably be retarded by the competition and aggressiveness of Cape Colony. Tables are submitted showing that Germany's share in the exports of her own colonies is only M per cent., while of all the products required by Ii r dependencies, the mother country supplies only about GO per cent. .

WAR DANCE OF INDIANS

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HONORED IIV C03IANCHCS AND KIOWAS. Series of Barbaric Festivals That ReKn n on TIiuiiUnrI vIiik Day nnd Will End on Christmas. St. Louis Republic. Kiowa and Comanche Indians commenced on Thanksgiving day to hold a series of dances in honor of President Roosevelt. These dances lasted until Christmas, ending on that day of good cheer with a war dance of magnitude and importance, inasmuch as it will be the last of their wild exhibitions. A decree has gone forth and been approved that in the future no reservation Indian in Oklahoma shall be allowed to participate in any of the strange festivals which draw him back to the time when he was on the warpath hunting for the scalp of the paleface, eating dog meat and practicing many other wild habits. These dances arc held once every week, lasting for one day and two nights. They are held on the reservation In Oklahoma not far from the new town of Hobart. The Wichita mountains in the background and the clear waters of the Washita in the fore present a striking picture. On the bare, undulating plain between axe pitched a hundred or more tepees. Barelegged redskins flit frcm one tent to another during the resting periods: squaws carry water to and from the river to the tepee of their liege lords, cooking ill-smelling meats and making vari-colored paints in large kettles. During the dancing period all is given over to the strange hopping and singing, feasting and praying. Even the imlolent, corpulent bucks may be seen running here and there, carried away by the general excitement. John Lone Wolf, a descendant of the famous Kiowa chief, who came into general notice last summer on account of his strenuous opposition to the Oklahoma opening, was the originator of the idea to hold a series of dances in honor of the Rough Rider President. Wolf is a quarter-blood and very little resembles an Indian except for his high cheek bones and rough manners. He claims to stand next to the President cn Indian matters because of the fact that he was on the range with Mr. Roosevelt in early days. Indians, however, are likely to lay claims to many things which have not come to pass. Wolf, however, shows letters from President Roosevelt couched in friendly terms. Upon these he has built up a power among his fellows. Tall Bear, a young comanche, Is acting as chief lieutenant to Lone Wolf in the dances. He is a meelicine man of some reputation. With his father, Bear Claws, he has for man years held the Comanches in subjection to the medicine elances. While Indian agents followed one another in quick succession in their attempt to reform the once noted warriors of the Southwest plains, father and son, seated in the center of their wigwam, ruled with a high hand. The dancing Is the best and most realistic that has been seen in the Southwest for many a day. Tho Indians throw their whole spirit into It, knowing that it has to bo the last. Lone Wolf nets the part of President Roosevelt, the Indians considering him as such at all times during the period of dancing and rest. He goes about clad in gay trappings, his flesh like burnished copper, his eyes radiant as the morning sun. BREWING THE SNAKE ROOT. Bear Claws, chief of the medicine clan, who claimed he could pluck out the inmost thoughts of the white man, who has passed through many battles untouched and who has many times sent his young men against the paleface, sat in his tent, making medicine for the dances. With Tall Bear, his son, he kindled a fire under a huga black kettle and stirred a decoction called snake root, which was supposed to give strength to the braves going through the tests. As the sun climbed over the mountain tops and cast its rays upon the silvery Washita, the Indians began a restless pattering of their feet in a double stamp upon the dry grass. Their bodies swayed restlessly to the quick throbs of a tomtom beaten by a young man. This was kept up for half an hour. Indians moved about, humming snatches of war cries, plunging and galloping at times, and whenever seized with an inspiration they would paw the air wildly and give the war cry, shrill and blood-curdling. Their screams could be heard for miles across the unbroken prairie. The sun beat down hotly, but the medicine men did not cas;t aside their blankets, although some of the warriors did. Their bare, polished limbs, seemingly as flexible as rubber, glistened in the morning light. Meanwhile out of the confusion of scattered dancers a long- line was formed. White Antelope, who was picked out to do th" sun-dance test, looked every inch a leader, as ho danced about giving deepvoiced commands. Iiis long sinewy arms swung out dramatically. On his bare back was painted a crow; otherwise his brown skin was tleek from careful rubMng. Beneath the skin one could see a powerful play of muscles. Suddenly tho Indians broke into a wild, unrestrained song. The notes hung in the hot air. Then they fell again until scarcely audible. A moment later the notes pitched hih, and sounded across the valley as though from a thousand voice.?, when only a hundred had joined in the singing The Father will descend, he will descend; lie has looked upon us with favor; he likes our ways. Tho White Father is our brother. Stretch out our hands We will all rise again. As in tho ghost dance, all stretched out their hands toward the west. Then, facing the medicine kettle in the center of the smooth dancing-ground, they joined hands and circled from left to right, moving their feet hih at each side step. The dance went on in regular order for some time. Then the eyes of some of the squaws and not a few of the bucks grew glassy, and their bodies fell heavily in the dust. Here and there a dancer would leap from the ranks and yell: "I see the Father!" Then he would fall, seemingly unconscious. The high-strung nerves of White Antelope seemed more than ever steady. His thick, round face was drawn, his mouth stood open, the jaws set hard. His body quivered with religious frenzy as he threw off his sacred white blanket and stepped alone from the circle. "Brothers, the White Father, who is our brother, has looked with favor upon us. He is our good friend in the lodge of wide Ftreets, and he will look after us better than any other White Father. lie is of our breed and our country. He will treat us right. But he wishes to know if we are yet brave and can fight. I am a young man. I will do the sun dance tert and show our Father, our brother, how brave and powerful we are. I am done. My name is White Antelope." APPROACH OF MEDICINE MAN. Two medicine men now came toward the speaker. One grasped each strong arm ar d commenced rubbing hard a small spot on either breast. Like skillful masseurs they kept up this work until a place the size of a man's hand was benumbed on each breast. The soft chanting of the medicine man while doing this caused a sympathetic murmur to pass around the grounds. White Antelope stood with head thrown back, lettering an invocation to the sun. Directly they drew their scalpels and made a deep incision on each benumbed spot The sinews were drawn out and a stout cord was passed behind them. Thi3 cord was tied to a pole set deep in the ground. The reds crowded close about, and the white visitors were warned to keep their distance. Then the Indian started to move around in a circle, chanting to himself. His free was impassive, but the pupils of his black eyes seemed to contract with pain. Every few minutes he would Mow loudlv upon his whittle held tightly between the teeth, lune backward, trying meanwhile to break loose from the pole. He would be drawn back like a gust of wind, the cords s:iapp!ncr against the lacerated flesh causing terrible pain. For fully fifteen minutes this dancing was kept up and all was still gave tho stamping of the dancer and the low beating of tht drum. Suddanly the cords rnapped. White Antelope feL backward. The test was won according to the Comanche doctrine. They were f t to receive the blessing of President Itooaevelt. That was In the beginning cf the series cf the festival. When the Indians were called together a week later Lona Wolf took his place in ti;a

"My people, I am one of you. I want you to hold this dance and 1 will bless you with many good acts. 1 will keep the paleface from oppressing you. Your herds t-hall graze upon your lands unmolested. Your children shall bo educated and make brave men and good women. You must learn to farm. You must quit dancing and drinkins You must work and I will bleas you. I will see that you are treated fairly." This and many other speeches of a similar nature were delivered, all of which seemed to meet with great favor. The Indians are In the notion now to po to work and farm the allotments which were given to them in August. The words of Lone Wolf have done much good, coming, as the reds firmly believe, from the "White Father, whom they all know by reputation as a ranchman and friend of the Indian. The war dances are now being rehearsed, and on Christmas day the festivals of wild fellowship will end with a dance at which no less than l.OoO braves are expected, liijr fires "will be built around the circle, all o the old warriors will have stations of honor and for two whole nights and one day between the dancing will be kept up without a stop. The old men will recite some of their deeds of valor while on the warpath, the young men will go through Imaginary battles and the thing will enel in a final feast and praise of the White Father, who at all times was the guest of honor. STEREOSCOPE VISIO DY X-ItAV. An IiKenloui Apparat 11 Which Steadies the SlKht. Eoston Transcript. Eugene W. Caldwell has recentlj' per fected. In the Edward N. Gibbs X-ray i Laboratory of the University and Relievue Hospital Medical College, an apparatus designed to give stereoscopic vision by Xrays. The new apparatus Is described for the first time in the Electrical Review recently. The principle upon which it operates is very beautiful and tlepends upon tho fact that vision persists for a brief interval and a succession of images falling upoii the eye with great rapidity gives the impression of a continuous illustration. In the ordinary X-ray outfit, consisting of a tube giving out X-rays and a fluoroscope, all that Is. seen is the shadow cast by tho object under examination upon the sensitive screen. A bullet In a man's arm, for example, shows its shadow, but while it may be seen to be at a certain distance away from a bone, for example, to one side or the other, it is not possible to tedl whether it is in front or behind the bone. In the same way the radiograph of a man'? chest under ordinary conditions would show his coat buttons, but would give no idea whether they were worn In front or behind. To accomplish stereoscopic vision that is, to use both eyes and to see objects in their proper space relation to one ) another was Mr. Caldwell s purpose in designing his beautifully Ingenious apparatus. He used an X-ray tube having two antleathodes and so driven by an alternating current taken from the street mains and stepped up to high voltage by means of an induction coil that the two anti-cathodes Rive off X-rays alternately about sixty times a second. Each of these throws thirty shadows per second of the objects examined upon a screen and these shadows are. of course, slightly displaced from one another. Ry using a shutter turned by a motor driven by the same alternating current the vision of each eye is cut oft from the impulses coming from one of these rntl-cathodes. Tho result of the blended impressions is the same as when two photographs taken from slightly different points of view are examined in the stereoscope, and the fiat shadows suddenly leap cut into space apparently standing clear of the fiuoroscope screen and showing the objects examined in their true relations with one another. The instrument is expected to be of the greatest importance in surgical diagnosis. The dizziness and faintness from which women suffer may be due to one of several causes. But the most common cause is disease of the delicate womanly organism. The story of Mrs. Brown told in her letter below, gives a fair example of the conditions under which ' so many women work: I had a sick headache nearly all (he time, was so weak around my waist could hardly dear any, thintr to touch mt. c '- would work a little while and then lie down a while. v Failing to obtain more than temporary relief from her doctor's treatment, Mrs. Brown began the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, with the usual result a complete cure. ur.
