The present situation in this state would not exist if the sena torial question had been aubmitted to the people last June.

A seastorial question.

Who evei heard of paintinp: in sand I The Mold Indians ujaderstand that species of art Two paintings of this tana, copied accurately from the -originals, have been newly placed on exhibition at the National museum. Perhaps they might better be called mosaics, being done in sand of fdx different colors on a flat, horizontal surface. The colors are yellow, green, white, black and a rxilxture. Such pictures are made by Mold priests and priestesses on the floors of their rmbteraiean chambers. The six colors stand for the cardinal points. Yellow is the north, green ia the west, red is the south, white ia the east, black is the region above, and all colors signify the region be low. One of the two Band paintings is a copy of the kind of picture made for the annual ceremonial of the Mold women's festival to the germ god, which takes place ln September. The work of art is executed during the progress of the secret rites. It rep resents two figures in an elaborate frame or difrerent colors. On the left is a likeness of Lsv-kone-mena, the patroness of the affair. She is clad in a white blanket On the right Is a portrait of one of the twin gods of war, who carries a zigzag of light ning in bis n&nds. The other picture is a faoaimfle of the one made by the chief of the Fra ternity of Antelopes at the festival of the snalte Oanoa W ashington Star. A Talaakto Old Cos. People often select curious places m wmcn to mae tneir noai-ds, but it remained for an unfortunate Welsh woman to choose one more singular perhaps than usual. The good Lady lived in a cottage with her husband, ana tne otner aay, while she was ab sent from home, a tramp called and asked for alms. The old man had none to bestow upon him, but he gave turn an old, dilapidated coat, which he had long since cast aside. On the wife's return she missed the coat and was horror struck to learn what had become of it, for it turned out that the foolish woman had for years been hoarding up money and tuaing it away in this same old coat The tramp was partioularly for tunate, lor ne bad netted exactly es dj wis cruuitaDie transaction. We regret to add that be was not honest enough to return the money. and diligent as the search has been to discover his whereabouts he has not been found. Thus the savings of a lifetime have been lost by combination of kindness and folly. ixmaon --it-nits. 1807 SEED CATALOG ' FULLY ILLUSTRATED Free on Application. Send for It.
