INDIAN DANCES.
Barbaric Ceremonies Forbidden
. Upon the Reservations.
The OmaM""is'-tlie only dance
now practiced among the Sioux
says the Southern "Workman; .the
war dance died with -the accession
of peace; the sun dance has long
been frowned upon by the Great
Father and the ghost dance has
been peremptorily forbidden ever
since the trouble springing from it
in that unhappy fight at "Wounded
Knee in the early winter of 1891.
But the Omaha danced frequently
upon the reservation has not been
actually forbidden although the
Indian agents in general disapprove
of it and so far as is possible dis-.
countenance its perpetration. It is
primarily a social function with

A PRESERVED MA3DIOTIL
A .touching bit f Alpine history
tells tff a guide wIk) fell into a crack
an a 'glncier and whose perfectly
preserved body emerged so long af-
terward that it was recognized only
by an old woman who had been his
youthful sweetheart. Even more
striking .was the recent discovery of
Hera in Eastern Siberia. It was the
perfect body of a mammoth which
while quietly feeding some 2000
years ago. had fallen down a decli
vity and been instantly killed. Its
mouth still held the last tuft of
grass: its .thick red-brown hair was
still unchanged.

lead the red man. Every-time the
Omaha is danced the dancers are
drawn more closely to the old lives
and the old ways; a reverence f(r
the customs of their ancestors is
enkindled within them and what-
ever refining influences of civiliza-
tion may have hitherto impressed
them are for the time utterly for-
gotten and eventually much weak-
ened. It is the;great social reflection
of barbarism and its influence can-
not be for good.
MESQUITE BEANS.
The second crop of mesquif e beans
is about matured. This year the
second crop came just as the first
crop was almost exhausted. Cattle
are not so fond of mesouite beans
as are horses. The latter can often
be seen in the suburbs of Alice eat-
ing beans from mesquite trees or
eating those that have fully matur-
ed and fallen to the ground Both
the first and second crop of mes-
quite beans this year have been
abundant which is Always the case
during a drouth thus down in this
neck of God's vineyard nature fully
provides for all emergencies. "When
we have ' a short grass crop our
bean harvest is long. "Necessity"
claims that mesquite beans make a
very good article of food for man
when properly prepared and cook-
ed with eggs. Alice Echo.
