The opening of Un > German Ueichstag ts
nbont the moil disappointing spectacle I
ever witnessed. Even the Berliner , who is
about us fond of a fiooshow as the average
Ameilean , hns ceased to patroni/u It , and ,
Judging from the few appearing on the Hoer
when President von Lovet/ow called the
assembly together with u cow bell , the members -
bors hu\o followed suit.
Of course , things would have been n little
different H the llrst session had marked the
begintiinir of n now Kclchstag. Then there
would hnvo been a gieat display
of impel ml splendor , a speech from the
thionuniid other attractions ; but oven if
congress had done as the Helcnstag did ,
taken onh a short recess , there uould have
been a bundled times moie bustlo.excltemont
and speculation than ono c oiild sco or hear
hero But It strikes mo that the expression
is a little incorrect in a mathematical .sense ,
for nought multiplied by nnj Iliruio remains
nought , and there is always a great deal of
Interest shown in Washington , o\eii at the
beginning of a second session , whllo hero
there uas absolutely none.
Uvcrvuody can find the capltol without
asking a question , and if anybody should bo
Btupid enough not to understand the mean
ing ol that splendid dome towering high to
the heavens beneath the statue of liberty , ho
proonhly still would have sense enough to
follow the crowd on the first day of the scs-
bion and got there all the same. *
But huie , is takes a map and a guide to
find the building , and when your cat ) stops
In front of the door , you will bo suto that
there must bo some mistaito. They nro
erecting a very line Uoichstnc building , but
nt picsont the sessions nro still held In along ,
low building , \vho40 outside appearance maybe
bo Judged host from the fact that It was
built for manufactuilng purposes , ovcry Her
liner calling It still "the old porcelain fac
tory. "
1 promenaded for about half an hour in
front of tins Uw fjictory\\iutine for a fneiid ,
but no indication of thu announced opening
could bo observed. Now and then a cab
uould stop , a gentleman would alight and
slowly disappear through the middle en
trance , the door sluittini : behind him ultli a
bang and a nap that seemed to mo a fair
winning to all would-bo intuulers. But ,
tiled of wuitinir , my American cheek ? ot the
best of mo. I messed the button I had seen
the members pi-ess , and waited for the lost.
The door opened , and , stumbling up a few
step ? , 1 found myself facing n formidable
personage in a gteat , big , long , blue coat
with very led collar and cuffs , witn
n great , bic , thrce-corneml hat ,
tttunnedith a piofuslon of colored
brnld , and along drum major's stick , with a
great big golden glolio on lop and gold tas
sels and cords all over it , in his white-gloved
band. 1 took oft my nnt very politely to
this imposing appearance , whereupon the
centlonuin flourished his big stici ; with ono
hand and his Dig hat uith the other in a
most bewilderine manner , nnd asked me in a
mixed tone of official giuffnosH and private
good nntuio , "What docs the gentleman
wish I'1 1 loplled to him that I was u corro-
Boondoiit for Amei lean papora ; that the ed
itor of the Nation , Horr. fir. Barth ,
n member of the Kolchstair , had
promised mo n tlck'it ot admission
and that I , beinc tired of waiting out in the
cold , had ventured to enter. Then the
great , and I must say now , and good man
stretched out his right arm and his creat
BUCK with an inviting motion , and bowing
low , nut dignillcd , asked mo to como In and
take a seat , condescending at the same time
to express a hope that I would not have to
wait long.
I found myself in a dark and cold ante
room , furnished only with a few clians and
closed against what appeared the lobby by a
glass door.guarded by another such imposing
ofllcial as the first. It being d.irtt
nnd nothing to see , there was plentv
opportunity to think. Hero I
had been spending the host part of three
days trying to get an admission to the galler
ies of the Hoichstag. With all the influence
I could wisli for to bnck me , I had been told
that It would be impossible to got a chair or
even standing room in the pressgallery.and I
'
know that while I wasiitlcastinsldcof'thosa-
cred building the coriespoudcnts of such pa
pers as the London Times and the Now Vork
tlcialdoio still kicking their heels against
the curbstones of the Leippigcr strasse. Of
coiuso such an airangomont as wo have in
Washington , whnro admittance to the press
galli'iy is logulatcd by a committee of cor
respondents , is not'to bo ( bought of hero ,
wheie the ruler of the galleries is
n clerk with a title as or
namental as the outfit of the door banger I
had Just passed , and the tosult is an over
crowding with all sorts of peoplo. The so-
called public galleries are as hermetically
closed as the press gallery. Admission is by
caul only , and applications for cards have to
bo made in wilting the day before the session
you \vish to attend. To open the galloues
to the people , to lot everybody go and como
us he pleases. Is considered ontiiely out of the
question. The members have a gallerv 10-
sorted for their families and friends , but
they are not allowed to write out season tick
ets us they do In Washington , but are obliged
to apply to the buioau for each pass
they issue and this ticket is good for only
one day and must bo icturncd to the door
keeper wnen j ou lca\ vour seat. No wonder
that under such regulations the Unichstag
has nuiiagcd prottj well to keep the people
away from Its sessions.
At last Ur. Barlh appeared and Invited
mo to the lobby , and this is the only place
in the Hcichstug ftoor and easier thnn any
thing similar in Conciossor any stale legis
lature. As all laws originate in" the Bundos-
rath , and the iteiehstag 1ms only the light to
suggest nnd amend legislation , and piivato
bills never appear on tlio calendar ,
the lobbyist is unknown , and consequently
quently the lobby has not to bo
closed as in Washington , but is open
to correspondents and friends of the mem
bers Thu rooms cannot bo computed with
the elegant but somewhat cold and ovor-
fiorncous.imirblo hnlls our representatives
nnd scnatois lounge In. Thov are furnished
llko a de-cent lunch room. A dark gicen car
pet covers the Hoer and slmplo tables anil
chairs of the \\oll known Vienna bent v > oed
restaurant pattern aio the only fmulture.
No swelling divans and sofas and arm chairs ,
nor gilded milrors or Turkish carpets , and
there In thocorner Is something showing that
this llrst Impression of the lunch
loom is not an illusion For there
is a vciltuhlo bar , whole bottles
with golden necks peep invitingly over the
rim of silver coolers , and the long , slim
Chiuntl alongside of thu stout and shoit
Bencdluttnn shows that the members of the
Hclchstng , though they draw no salary , no
travolliiK expenses and not even tha $ TJO for
atattanerv , llko thu members of Congress ,
live and live well. And a little to the loft of
the bar , another stilt moro astonishing sight
a buffet and behind it three \oung and
protu ladles inhlto aprons , cutting nice
and neat slices of ham and cold roasts and
preparing tempting dishes of salads and
other delicatessen. Why , It's abso
lutely shociilng ! Think of It , if our
good ladles of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union , who banished
the restaurants into the dark and damp to-
cesses of the basement In the capital , and
treated the fiction of "cold tea" for whisky
and snrmipanlla for ucer.should find ono day
In the very marble hall of the senate a bar ,
with English barmaids behind it ! And for
ouie these ladles would have nine-tenths of
the American people with them la their pro
tests. Not that these young hulloi , making
nn honest living by cutting touguo sand

Illllng the galleries and corridors of the capl
tel ; but well , what ts the use of philoso
phizing about matters lit which wo are all of
the sumo opinion I
It was about live minutes to 2 , the hour of
convening , when I succostcd that it would
bo atiout tlmo to adjourn to the gallery. I
was told there was plenty of time ; but anx
ious not to lose anything I climbed the
narrow wooden stairs leading to the gallery
An attendant In faultless evening dross took

wcro about fifty people In the palU-rlos and n
do/on or so , mostly attendants , on the lloor.
The clock opposite the president's chair
showed 18 , but there was no sign
of any dlsposltlr/ / hurry things , nnd I had
plenty of tlmo to look around. The ball of
the Uelchst-ii-is about one-third stmiilortban

tint row desks not fit to write upon It has

lanzer number of members Thu last row of
seals almost touches the tear wall and there
fore no space Is loft for loungers and
sn.okers and talkers OR In the house. The
decorations nro a study In brown. Brown
walls touched up hero and there by a bit of
ornamentation in n lighter lint ,
a brown carpet , chairs and desks
covered with light-brown leather , a
small aud entirely insufficient sky-light
give to tills meeting room nn air of
somborncss and sleepiness , contrasting very
much with the light and brightness of our
house of representatives. Tlu arrange

the house. Tlio president has an elevated
scat In thu middle of ono of the long sldo < of
the hall below a Hag of the German empire.
Just as the speaker presides undi r the Hag of

desks for two secretarie"s , members of the
Koiolistni ; olccled to this honorary ofllco , nnd
at piosont sadly deficient In that quantity
nnd quality of vclcu demanded of our rending
clerks. A little lower und In front Is a desk
for the spankers , very often used on account
of the bad acoustics of the hall , which makes
speaking from the place nn til most useless
taskand below that the desk for the stenogra
phers. The onlv striking difference aio the
seats for the loprosentativos of the Bundos-
tath , or the united governments to the right
und loft of the president's chair , it bolng the
rule that these gentlemen may participate in
the discussion and answer questions , just M
our secretaries and their representatives do
In the committc-o rooms. The festive and
and sometimes uproarious page Is absent , u
few attendants in evening die s and \ \ caring
ing a knot of black , white and red braid on
the left shoulder attending to the wants of
the mombei t.
It wns twenty minutes past 2 when Presi
dent \on i..ovctrow took the chair , gave the
cow boll In front of him a grand
shako and waited for lesult-t. All
over the house ono could hoar the
vigorous tinging of electric bells , but it was
evident that members wcro not very n.uch
inclined to give up the ease and comfort of
tlio lobby for the stltfbackcd opera chairs in
the hall. The provident waited pitiontly for
a few minutes longer , then shook his boll
attain nnd had again the signal sounded
through the lobbies. This brought In about
fifty members , nnd having nt least some people
ple to talk to the question of a quorum never

other formality. Jumped right into business

Onu ol the features of the last regular
session of the Otnuhit Hoard of ( 'duration
omphosl/ed the point Tin , IKI ! ; trloil to make
clear Inst Sunday. It la that pinna atiouhl bo
dollnitoly decided upon and absolutely tin-
dorstoj I before any work is done on the now
bulldliiirs. School buildings cannot ba con
structcd as sonio soiiul storlo.ianfrom week
to vvook , the currant instalment having no
oipouir.l bearing upon \vtint the no\t i ) to be ,
fuithur than that they are all to bo p-irts of
a inoro or loss hoterogonoou * wholo. It Is
imporatlvo that the Idea of the designer shall
bo thoroughly Understood by the builder , and
that thov shall bo perfectly in harmony and
calculated to seuuio the boat results. The
incident of the school board mooting loforred
to fconccrns the now building at Clifton Hill.
When the site was secured there it was de
termined to build at once. Some suggested
waiting till the bonds were available , but the
unroii cy of the case prevailed and it was do-
elded to erect a temporary four-room struct
ure. Work was commenced under the diroo
lion of the superintendent of buildings , but
ere It had proceeded far a change In plans
was adopted , and six rooms instead of four
wore decided upon. At this time It was esti
mated that the cost would be : M,000 , exclu
sive of heating apparatus. Slnco then modi
fications and additions to the plans have
been made , until the cost , of the build
ing , exclusive of heating apparatus , will
reach $ ii,000 at least. But this was not the
le.ifet of the mistakes mailo In connection
with this building. After it had assumed the
form of comparative permanency , instead of
its temporary character , then cnmo up the
question 01 how to heat the building. After
a meat dual of discussion , partaking of moro
or less rancor , It was finally decided to put in
a Sinead plant , i'hls was to cost Jl.'OO. It
was contracted for at that price. Then cnmo
\\hut Is termed a "mlsundorstundliii , ' " of the
plans by the superintendent of butldingsnnd
the result is tha't thn $ li00 ! plant will cost
$ . ' .100. This is not the fault of the Smoad
svstcm. Itis merely the losult of not having
n'cloar understanding of what was to bedono
at the outsot.
Not an Uncommon C.iso.
This is In brief the history of the majority
of the public buildings of Omaha. In the
eagerness to commence the work immatuio
plans aio adopted and work is begun
on the development of a half digested
idea. As wor.c progiossoa contingencies
arise which must bo met by alterations in the
plans , and not infiequontly befoic the roof is
on the original plans and M > ecilleatlons aio
sivallowcd up completely in the alterations
and lovislons , releasing both nichitcct ana
builder from all except moral responsibility
and increasing the eos > t anywhi'ie up to
double the original estimate. It may bo re
marked light hero that moral responsibility
doesn't weigh very hoavilv when it is not
' 'so nominated in the bond. " It is voiy diffi
cult almost impossible to fix the responsi
bility In these matters , but it is certain the
city is a heavy lo or as the legitimate out
come of this carelessness.
If any member of the Board of Education ,
or for that , matter , any of ou > - public ollicials ,
were to eiect for hiinsolt a build
ing of any sort , ho would have
a distinct unuorstauding at the very
outbot Just what sort of structure it should
be , how much it would cost when complete. ) ,
and in what manner and tirno and of what
material it would bo constructed. Ho would
see to it that "mistakes" which entailed a
complete change of pluns or enhanced the
estimated cost greatly did not occur. It is
reasonable to expent of the oillceib of the
people the same cnro in the conduct of public
affaus as they would bestow uinn a piivate
enterprise , and for this very reason such af
fairs as that of the school at Clifton Hill
should be condemned severely. In this instance
'
stance the blame clearly resis'with the Board
of Education , as it had no well defined idea
of w hat was intended when work was com
menced.
As to the permanency of the bullding.whilc
'that is another story , " itts icadlly conceded
that the building will bo needed as soon as it
is completed , and thai never again
can it be'dispensod with , except when a moro
commodious school building is erected thoro.
The fact that the Clifton Hill school is now
built so that its extension by additions is impracticable -
practicable renders the situation still raoie un
fortunate.
Kiolil Tor Investigators.
It was not the intention at this time to en
large upon this one building , but it furnishes
a veiy pat example of what Tim Bir : is on-
dca\orng ! to point out and induce the Board
of Education to avoid.
HecurrinK to the subject of heating and
ventilation , Dr. Hood , whom THE BKI : quoted
last week , In giving his Idoatof requirements
in the way of warm , pure air , frankly ad
mitted that it was set above any that he had
encountered in his very careful inquiry into
the necessities and results in heating and ven
tilation. It remains for some ono , \et to
devise moans by which to attain this ideal
THE BIK does not wish to be understood as
endorsing any sintjlo .system in profoionco to
another. Investigators nave generally de
termined upon ono system as tlio best now
known , though they nil admit that is not per
fection
In heating and ventilating a room ono of
two moans must ue adopted to secuto the de
sired effect. In the ono natural laws are de
pended UQOn. Warm air will rise and in a
measuio will diffuse Its heat throughout the
room. But the atmosphoio oftcrs such plight
resistance that the transmission of heat by
invention Is impossible ; and unless there is
sufllclent circulation of the air , the power
of radiation is nullified to such an
extent as to almost destroy it. Hero
is ono demand for circulation of air greater
than can bo established by the moro up and
down currants occasioned oy the application
of heat iiPtir the lloor. Another demand , and
the most imporatlvo , is for a current of air
which shall carry olt the atmosphere polluted
by lospiratlon and the almost imuoicoptiulo
exhalations of the human body. Some means
of exit must bo had for this. Being of u
denser naluio , the vitiated air seeks the
lower level of tne room the lloor and there
is the whole thing. An opening near the floor
affords a passage through which the foul air
is leadilv exhausted , and thus a circulation
is established. On the ono sldo an opening
through which fiosh air is supplied , on
the other an opening through which
the impure air Is exhausted , and near
the first fiomo moans for applying heat
to the fresh air , aim you have the A B C of
hoattng and ventilation.
In this imtura Is depended upon sololv
Heat expands the air , renders it lighter than ,
its surroundings , and it rises. Other air-
takes its place , it cools off and is replaced by
the warm air ; It absorbs the carbonlo itas
from the bicathlng , becomes heavy , sinks to
the Moor , and finds ogress through the ox-
hnust register ; and through the supply reg
ister comes the fresh air to take Its place.
Nature can bu assisted In tills operation.
Fans may bo adopted to force In a supply of
air , and also to exhaust it , thus aiding the
Incoming and outgoing , placing the circula
tion independent of gravity , and making it
absolute ,
Uovoloplnj : the Idea.
Having determined these natural laws , the
question of how to most ofllelontly apply
them confronts the Investigator. Many
plans have been proposed , adopted and aban
doned. In the investigation carried on by
Dr Heed , from whoso report Tun BIK :
quoted last week , ho observed those methods
of heating and ventilating rooms :
1. School rooms warmed by common stoves
Alth and without any inov jslotis for vtmtlla-
tlon other than windows , doors and transoms.
' . ' . School rooms narmcd liy small filmicon

lop of the room.
II. Hchiiol rooms warmed by ati air warmer
which supplies the wann air at the lloor , and
removes thu foui ulr at the lloor without thu
aid of open doors , w unions or transoms.
This enumeration Is given to show the
various forms which thn heating and ven
tilation idea assumes In ptactlcal application.
It will also give iotno undorstnudintt of the
difficulty encountered in the selection of the
best. But this Investigation resulted In the
classification of an imposing nrrav of llguies ,
showing by the weight of ntrgrogato dotor-
mlnaiions that the system of heating and
ventilation embodying the conditions
spccllled In paniginph 11 would bo
associated with the bust results. It appears
reasombie that the admission of froth , warm
air nt the door , which will rise , dllluso
throughout the room and be removed again ,
after becoming Impure , nt the lloor , would
neatest fulfill the natural law.
ConilltloiiH Precedent.
But in this it will t.ot do to bo dogmatical ,
for this very investigation of Dr. Heed's put
an entirely now pn so upon the question.
Not a great while since It was accented as
axiomatic that the foul air would accumulate
at the top ot the room Just why is not clear ,
but probably because the exhalation from
the lungs was warmer than the cir
cumambient air and naturally roie.
Later wiiters argued , and with hotter
reason , that the foul air , being denser , would
bo lound at the lloor. This is good reasoning ,
carbon dioxide ( carbonic acid gas ) having a
specific cravity of 1.6'J.I , or moro than half
again as heavy as air. But Ur. Heed deter
mined positively that the carbon dioxldo
occurred in all parts of the air of a room in
almost equal quantities , that the theory of
its accumulation in any particular part of a
room where tl.o air is In moderate circula
tion is fallacious. In ono room at Mansfield ,
O. , where there was no particular system
employed , foul air ducts , window" , doors and
transoms hoing depandod upon , ho found
caibon dioxide in the following proportion
per 10,00 , ) patts of air : Airof the city , -I..is ;
air ot school room , at lloor , ! . ! . ' . " ) ; same , nt
mouth , 1-1 ll0 ! ; same , at celling , 151.11 ; a
dlffuronco ot 1.1-0 between top and
bottom of the room in the distribu
tion of this poisonous agent. In
his report Dr. Heed sajs : "It seems to mo
that this investigation ought to settle with
out a question the problem of the location of
carbon dioxide in tlio school rooms of today ,
and especially these which are artificially
heated , and to prove beyond a shadow of
doubt that caibon dioxide Is au omnipresent
factor In practically the same relative pro
portions at all levels of a school loom ,
whether ventilated at the top , sides or bottom
tom , or at all. "
Humidity Is another feature to bo conrld
ercd. If the air bo warm and too div it will
prove irritating to the respiratory apparatus ,
and will carry dust. If it bu too moist it becomes -
comes sultry nnd oppressive , and renders the
pupil peculiarly liaulo to take cold on leaving
the toom.
' 1 his is what is required : Air heited to a
moderate temperature , 70 = on an average :
containing moisture to the decree ot relative
humidity of 10 to fit ) ; und carrying
from ton to thirteen parts of carbon dioxide
to 10,000 parts of air.
Mow Will 1C DC Obtained ?
In the fulfillment of this ideal all projectors
have fallen shoit. Omaha investigators
have agreed that the Smoad is the best sys
tem of hot air heating and ventilation. It
takes the fresh air from outside the building ,
cirrics it through n passage , over a warmer ,
up to the rooms , where it enters near the
lloor , is diffused , and extended throuch a
foul air duct that carries it down to a cham
ber commui.icnting with n passage under the
closet leading to 'the ' ventilating shaft ,
whence it is discharged above the roof ot
the building. The exhaust action is partly
natural nud partlv mechanical , slnco the
heit used in consuming thn contents of the
drv closets creates n draught la the ventilat
ing suaft.which can only bo supplied through
the foul air chamber.
Direct and indirect steam heat , with fan
ventilation , which ono of the advocates of the
Smoad sjatcm claims is the only perfect
system , is operated purely mechanically.
Direct steam boat is when the radiators aie
exposed in the room ; indirect is when the
radiator or coil is contained in a recess be-
ncuth the floor or in the wall , nnd the
warmed air is admitted to the room tin ouch
a register. In the application of the fs.n
ventilation the air is admitted to a room
containing a steam coil of sufficient siyo to
impart the desired heat. Fiom hero U is
foi cod into the rooms bv a supply fan. On
the other end of the circuit Is the exhaust
tan , which draws from the rooms the air ,
after It has diffused its heat and become
vitiated by breathing , and forcluly expels n.
Inthis-system the location of the registers for
the exhaust ducts is not arbitrary , though
experience places them near the lloor.
The difloienco in cost of construction be
tween the Hmead system and the steam sys
tem is about ! ! 0 per cent in favor of the
former Tin ; Biu : disclaims any advocacy
of either system. It has described briefly
the modus operand ! of these because they
ate accented as tne best Known today.

Ono of the pleasures anticipated by the so
who visit nmoiirf the Sioux U the witnessing
of their dauco-i , o'px'iallv the \vldcly known
Omaha. ThN dance originated with tha pea-
plo whoui n inn It IO.UM in 11 > of grjit lop-
ulailty with many tribes. Learning thatono
was to tiiko pla.M U ; > DI the evening of tlio
"big Issiu" at the I'lno Hulw Agency an
ofTor of escort was aejopled with enthus
iasm , writes the I'ino Kidgo correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune.
The night was mo3t baautlful , brilliant
with moonlight , crisp and snow. While pro
ceeding to the adjoining Loifor's Camp , In
which the Oaiiha house Is situated , nuinar-
ous darit shapes wcro saon upon ttu hills all
hurrying In the same direction. A brisk walk
of half an hour brought us In sight of n low
octagonal building , through the ojwn robf of
which sparks and smoke were ascending.
The inciting boat of a great drum accom
panying a strange wailing chant hoard with
increasing distinctness as wo approached
had roused our factilMoi to ucuto attention ,
The music ceased before wo toadied the
spot and pushed our way through the
groups of women standing about the doors
and surrounding the structure , peering with
curious eyo\ through evety chink and nper-
turo which afforded n glimpse of the scene
within. These wcro the only accommoda
tions prepared for the fairer SOY. Its mem
bers seem here as ilgidly o\eluded from the
dance * of the men as are their paler sisters
from rerlnin banquets and reunions of polit
ical or Masonic mystery. Itvas pleasing
after our entrance to see UNO or three shrink
ing forms desert tlio crowd without nnd slip
into seats behind us. When ono woman has
courage to become an Inserting wedge little
fear but theto will bo enough to follow after.
Hut truly it did require a bit of temerity to
face the ciowd within A grand lire of the
pitch pine common to this country burned in
the center of the room , lighting It brightly.
But enough of the volume of smoke rolling
up through the opening above rem lined with
in to lead the charms of olnourity nnd io in-
ous odor to the scene. Through this revolv
ing hn/e figures were scon lining the walls in
rows live or six deep. These \\eio squatting
upon their heels or sitting on folded legs , and
almost all wcro so mapped in sheets or
blankets as to disclose nouiiug of the person
savu the shining oics. Tne onlv uncovered
faces , excepting a few old men's , wcro these
of the dan.-ors and drummers. The latter sat
in a spate by themselves , encircling a largo
raised drum upon Which they beat with long
sticks ot padded leather.
\\"e took seats in the midstof the silontand
motionla.'s assembly , and waiteJ. The wait
ing proved so long as to aiousosuspicion that
our piesonco was unwelcome , and that the
dance \\ould not pieced wnile wo remained.
But at last , when the stillness and the mes-
inctioga/oof the intent , unraovinc oytss had
become oppressive , ono ot the old men aioso
and spoke. Ho appitcntly told thimto"on
with the dance , " for as he reseated himself a
breath of sound seemed to nwako in some
quailor ot the building and sweep across the
crowd. Gradually this increased in strength
and velocity , developing into u heavy , mo
notonous wall , fiom which it burst into
sharply accentuated rythm , sustained by the
ttiuds of the duim and the deep voices of the
slngois until caught up bv another sot of
voices and ended in a shrill falsetto shuok.
The effect was eleUiio. The whole was given
with the precision of a well trained chorus.
At the DOgimiing of the chant u man arose
and appioachcd the tire A buffalo-skin tunic ,
ornamented with many coloied pendants ,
garlois and anklets of bolls confining gaudy
leggings , and a huco bonnet of ciglo feathers
composed his costume. A face and form of
statuesque beauty appealed moot incongru
ous in this wild setting. After passing sev-
cial times around the file , executing the stop
peculiar to the Omaha , this poison placed
u heap of feather garments bo-iUo a large
kettle wh"rein was the dog , whosj presence
in the soup was a necessary adjunct to the
festivity. Having done this ho ictlrod and
sat down , the music ceased and silence
reigned unbroltcn save by the ciacklo and
sputter of the lire.
During this interval an old man gravely
licntoda long-stoni'iied stone pipe , which
was passed from h ind to hand and .smoked
in \yiiilothisccromonywnsin piogivss
I noted details which before had escaped mo ,
especially tl.o heads of the women shown in
silhouette against the stars thiough the nar-
low openings which servo as windows , a
most reposeful background to the weird pic-
tuie.
tuie.Hut soon the music began as before , and at
its fh-at sound two scanliii-apnircled women
stopped forward and donned the tiappmps
prepared for them , consisting ot uaj-colored
feather trains and headgear. They then pro
ceeded to mount imaginary ponies and follow \
with cxpiossivo pantomime the trail of some
Illusive game , while moving nhvajs in the
measure of the danco. It would bo dilllcult
for the most stoical to tostrain a fooling of
excitement as tlio wild pursuit continued ,
glowing constantly moro nnd moro fierce and
earnest until its object was captured , slain ,
and with shouts of triumph bWno away.
Never had 1 witnessed such vividly real
istic pintomimo. It certainly supported the
criticism which places mimicry on tlio lowest
piano of Insiiionic art. It. is not piobablu
that onn of these men could have given form
to an ideal conceived in the still depths of
consciousness and shaped by slow process of
thought and study. They only showed wl.nt
thny nad seen. Hut they did this with n
power of delineation ooth of gcstuteandox
inossion which I have seen equaled by but
few actors upon our modern stage. Indeed ,
the Omitm was ot particular Interest to mo
In that it scommt to combine the usa.'os and
arts which pleasure seelrors ot all conditions
und times have called to their aid in fighting
the dull monotony of life , and which oven thu
austuro are beginning to acknowledge as
manifestations of natural and ennobling in
stincts. Hero were the fuctuliy mooting
about a common fireside , the dance , the sons ; ,
the storv told by actors' lopiesontation , while
the spirit of conviviality which has made the
banquet the most honored of social entertain
ments was exhibited In tlio feast uith which
the oven ing ondod.
It was while ttio Inevitable dog soupwhich
had ull this tlmo occn qtilotlv simmeringwas
bulng dispensed by the ruler of tlio foust to
the tin cups of the seated assembly that the
voice of the tempter made iuelf audible to
the mentality of one of our party. Isow ,
although this person docs not as a rule , sub
scribe to the sentiment of the man who said.

with the assistance of an Interpietor ro3o to

they were a bravo people and would feel no

For she said she was about to cause it light
llko unto the sun at noonday and lightning
In the night , so da/zling as In all probability
to blind them , but she wlshod It understood
tlut night would return. The fancy that at
this the warriors grow a trifle palo beneath
their paint , was perhaps not unnatural , but
thov grunted for her to go on , and 'mid
respectful silence aho did so. A kodak
reposed beneath her arm , wltnln her
pocket a box of Hashing powder.
The fooling had long smoldered that i lack
of sympathy existed between that flashlight
