l'LATTSMOUTH WKEk ji ,tfifth,i, in 1 JULY 20, 1SS3. I1AIII OF SAVAGES. HOW IT 13 KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS BY THE PROPRIETORS. Coiffures of the American Indians Kthl oplaus and their Kinky Locks Th Asiatic Head Dressing of the South Sea Islander-Ktw Zealanders. Why should savages care for their halrl The question is not easily answered, for sav ages, apparently, care for so little according to our notions in the way of personal ap pearance that regard for their locks would seera to be the last mutter to which they would give attention. Hut, nevertheless, there is reason to believe that savages have much more concern for their locks than we are apt to believe; and, indeed, no pages of travelers books are more interesting than those which give accounts of the manners and dross of the barbarous races; for, by means of the hints imparted by travelers' notes, we are able to gather that vanity is as prevalent among Ravages as among the civil ized, and fashion as imperious in her man dates. Among the American Indians great atten tion has always bocn paid to the hair, and well it deserves it, for although coarse. harsh and straight, tho hair of tho American Indian is of a deep lustrous black, and when properly arranged, is capable or making a Tery beautiful coiffure. Tho works on Amer ican antiquities give a great number of styles of hair dressing in vogue among the Indians. Among the Shawnecs the favorite style was to closely clip the sides of the head in front, above and behind the ears, and allow a straight ridge of hair to grow from the forehead to tho nape of the neck, adorning this with feathers, and sometimes plaiting the top into a long cue behind. The Indians of the North Atlantic coast had a habit of clipping the entlro head, with the exception of a scalp lock just at the top, though not infrequently the savage beau, instead of dipping, would permanently destroy the growth of hair on all portions of the head, except the apex of the cranium, by pulling out the hairs by the roots and rubbing ashes or 6ome other strong alkali on the skin to destroy the growth. The Indians of the l'aciflo coast frequently clip off or pull out the hair on the top and buck of the head, leaving a lock over each ear, while in the south it was a practice among tho Indians to extirpate the hair on all portions of the head save the back, and leave that for a scalp lock. In all coses, wherever the lock or locks were left, they were always adorned in the highest style of Indian art, sometimes with feathers, occasionally witn wampum or tieads, and not infrequently their size was increased and their length extended by the use of horso hair. ETHIOPIANS AXD ASIATICS. The Ethiopians have no hair, properly speaking, but what answers them for hair is really different from the hair of the white races. If a hair from the head of a Caucasian be examined turougn a microscope, it is found to be hollow and composed of sections or joints somewhat resembling those of a cane, or in some cases like a ladder with its rounds. The hair of an African is entirely different in this respect, being solid and round, this constituting the difference be tween wool and hair; but nevertheless, the fact that his wool is solid appears only to en dear it to the African, who gives it all the more attention, perhaps because he has so little of it, and divides his scalp into patches, gathering up the hair trom each into a cir cular knot and tying it with a string as care fully as though it were a treasure. In the interior of the Dark Continent the wool of the negroes is frequently long, though never straight, but so difficult is the task of disen tangling their locks that not much attempt at ornateness is made in the African head dresses. Livingstone says that when an African chief makes his toilet, the most he ever attempts in the way of arranging a bead dress is to comb his wool up into a pyramidal shape, stick a few feathers in it, and hang one or more strings of beads along the facade, so to speak, of this unique edifice. The Asiatics have always been famous for decorating their heads. The Mohammedans of old shaved their heads, except a single knot of hair at the exact top of the head, which was left for a practical purpose, the Mohammedan doctrine being that at the res urrection of the dead the Angel Gabriel was specially detailed to attend to the Mohamme dans, and he raised them by the top knot. Accordingly, the top knot was left full and strong, in order that the hold might not break, a hole being left in the top of the cof fin in order to facilitate the angel's work. The Chinese method of hair dressing is too sfKtnown to need description, whilo in India he styles are both numerous and di versifledV nany of the tribes of the Punjaub being distinguished from each other by their.' methods of dressing their hair. THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS. According to Lubbock, Darwin and other authorities, the head dressing of the South Sea Islanders is ornate in the last degree, while not Infrequently their styles of dress ing their hair are so ingeniously grotesque as to create the impression that the arrange ment was solely for the purpose of exciting laughter. Sometimes most of the hair on the head is clipped away, leaving a number of short, round tufts, as though the scalp were planted with short paint brushes. Oc casionally the hair is cut away from the forehead and temples, leaving it at the top and back of the bead; sometimes the back oi the head is shaved, leaving the hair on the top and sides; but generally the entire growth of hair is left upon the head, and as the capil lary adornments cf the New Zealanders are very long and bushy, the coiffure of a chief generally assumes enormous proportions. One traveler mentions the fact of seeing a chief in New Zealand whose head dress was over three feet in diameter and arranged in long cones, the surface ot the scalp being di vided into a great number of small circles, and the hair growing in each twisted up and so curled as to form inverted cones, the point being towards the scalp. But not content with these extraordinary appendages, tho South Sea Islanders have a practice of dyeing their hair and in the most extraordinary colors. The natural color of their hair is a jetty black, but they have a number of pigments, the use of which is well known to them, by which they color their locks red, green, blue, yellow and white, and every variety of color may be seen in the course of a day's walk. But the New Zealand dandy is frequently not satisfied with having bis hair of one color, and so will dye it in several, making bantLj or stripes across his cranium. A recent traveler records having eeen a New Zealander with an enormous shock of busby hair. In front the hair wiu left its natural color. Next, from one ear across the top of the head to the other, came a 6 tripe of white hair, then a band of red, then a streak of green, then a blue stripe, and this parti-colored savage, who resemblec ..nothing so mutch as an extraordinarily hab ited clown in the circus, was not only the ad miration cf himself, but of the entire villag. i which b lived, so that in New Zealand, a: well as in more civilized countries, tho adage variety is the spice of life," is perfectly tru.. - t3c Louis uioDe-wemocrat. ,. A'CHORU3 OF 8TEER3. Vexas Cattle Trained to Bellow "nail Columbia" A Unique Concert. It was now about 6 o'clock and the sun was rapidly approaching the horizon. The bovine orchestra was to perform as usual at 6, or about sunset, Just before feeding time. Mr. Ilemlnway lod the way to the home corral, a heavily timbered stockade just over the crest of hill and about a quarter of mile from 4he house. The cowboy band which had ridden out to meet him accom panied the party on horseback. It was t cool but calm April evening, the air balmy with the fresh prairie air and the faint per fumes of wild flowers. As they approached the stockade melodious bellowings sounded over the pale. Within were Just twenty of the most intelligent boasts in the whole herd of 60,000. Brawny, big boned, long horned and muly some of them smooth limbs, sleek coats and bright eyes marking them as crack cattle. They moved forward In leisurely, solf contained way and stood look ing at the cowboys. Six of the latter dis mounted, came inside with their trombone. cornet, French horn, big horns and cymbals. Each cowboy took up a position by a partic ular ox. Six of the cattle were now separated from their fellows and Jed by the horns to skeleton stalls of light poles, constructed so the beasts faced In towards tho center of the inclosure and were ranged on tho soft grass side by side, near enough to touch the tips of each other's horns. The cowboy with the cornet stood immediately in front of a light brindled heifer that had an exceedingly vivacious aspect and was very quick on its feet. The trombone confronted an almost jet black steer that proved to have a high voice of great reverberatorj power. The cymbals flanked a red bull, while the other horns were pointed at bright eyed cows that re garded the whole strange scene with an ex periencod air and anticipatory delight. The Ileminway party stood slightly to one side, the unofQciating cowboys, to the num ber of forty or more, In a group near them. Just as the sinking sun reached the horizon and 6eemed to liagcr for a moment before saying good night, Mr. Ilemlnway gave the signal. Tho cowboys at once struck up "Ilail Columbia," playing that fine old air with much spirit and tolerable correctness. With the first note from each instrument the ani mal in its front raised its neck, opened its mouth to the widest capacity, and throwing its head back gave prolonged and musical utterance to sonorous sounds which, if they were not singing lu the human sense, consti tuted, something remarkably like it. The accord between the instruments and the vocal accompaniment of the bovine chorus was perfect. Thure was oue harmoni ous volume of sound, that echoed far and wide with singular power and sweetness, car rying through the charmed air strains of the western patriots' favorite song and mellow ing in the distance to a grand choral odo. But the most interesting part of the unique performance was yet to coma When the strains of the horns died away the cowboy performers withdrew and Joined the other cowboys. The bovine chorus was left to itself. Mr. Ileminway drew a revolver from his pocket, and tired a shot. As the smoke curled up in the fading sunlight, the steers opeued their mouths, throw their heads back and in perfect harmony went again through the air they had just finished. The ring and volume ana sweetness or their voices were now distinctly apparent They chanted ab solutely correctly and lacked only articula tion to be the champion sextet of the vocal world. John Paul Bocock in New York World. The Game of "Fingerhackeln. M A tourist in Tyrol watched two hot headed youths, who, having got into some dispute over money matters, hod agreed to settle it by a resort to what in that country is called "Fingerhackeln." This game, or rather struggle, is a simple trial of strength of arm and biceps. The table is cleared, and the two competitors seated opposite each other, with the table be tween them, stretch out their right hands sc as to let them meet in the center. Each, bending the middle finger into the shape of a hook, entwines it with that of bis rivaL At a given signal each begins to pull, the object being to drag the antagonist across the board. Both were strapping young fellows, each eager to show off his prowess, and the fact that they were well known adepts at it ren dered the struggle doubly Interesting. Vio tory swayed hither and thither; the most pro digious efforts were made to wrest the slight est advantage from the foe, the subtlest ruses coming into play, the most impossible con tortions of the body undergone; and yet the issue seemed as far from decision as at the very outset With set teeth, rigid features and heaving breasts, the two young fellows tug and pull, and neither will give in. Their hands are of an angry red, the veins swollen to double their usual size, while drops of perspiration on their foreheads tell of their almost super human exertions. Watching the face of one, the observer all at once saw a look of agonizing pain shoot across it His hand dropped; the struggle was at an end. Poor fellow! his finger is maimed for life; for the principal muscle has been rent in the fierce struggle. His antago nist, by a sudden jerk one of the numerous tratagems of fingerhackeln has succeeded in unbending his adversary's finger. One very frequently sees In Tyrol a man with a finger bent nearly double on the right hand. If you ask the cause, you will invari ably be told that it happened while "finger hackeln."

RISKS RUN BY WOMEN IN TRYING TO BE PRETTY. Many Devices Itesortea to oj the I'alr Sex lileachlna; the Hair to Give It a Fashionable Shado Making; Up Terri ble Consequences. "Can I get my hair bleached bereP I asked on entering a well known Chicago hair dresser's establishment "Certainly," said the smiling attendant "What color do you wishP "1 am rather undecided between a blonde and the new auburn shade," 1 replied un blushingly. "You bad better decide in favor of the red. That is the shade just now, and your hair would take it splendidly. I wouldn't have to touch the ends at all. Just here next the scalp, where it's so dark." "Don't you consider it dangerous?" "Well, I've had my hair reddened for six years now, and it hasn't hurt me," she said, smilingly. "There's not so much risk with the red dye as with the extreme blonde." "Can dark hair be bleached whitef' "Not on tho head at least not in this country. I have heard it could be done in Paris, and a lady buyer for oue of our largo dry goods firms is going to try and discover the secret for me when next she goes abroad." I said I would think it over ana would "call again. QUITS BCSC7ES3 LIKK.! While I sat in another fashionable hair dresser's shop, waiting for my hair to dry, 1 idly watched a little woman through a glass partition as she made up her face. She rubbed her entire face with some fine white powder until she looked like a clown at the pan to mine; then she took a chamois skin and carefully rubbed and smoothed it until only the suspicion of the powder was visible. Next she took a small hare foot brush and, dipping it daintily into a box of rouge, proceeded to redden her cheeks. This was then carefully toned down with another dash of white. Then the eyes. She penciled her brows and drew black lines close up to the under lash. Then daintily wetting her finger she drew it over her eye brows, the moisture emphasizing as it were the blackening process. Then she took a hand glass and regarded herself from all points of the compass. The result evidently was satisfactory, for she came out with a gratified smile. She had gone in the little room a dark skinned, rather tallow faced person; she emerged with the pink and white complexion that should belong to a radiant blondo. This process had been gone through with in plain view of the rest of the people in tho room, and with a serious and business like air that was quite astonishing. "Do you make up many society ladies?" I asked. "Yes, indeed, though not here. We are sent for and go to their houses to dress their hair and then make up their faces for them afterward. Ob, yes, we have a great many regular customers in the make up line." "I suppose you have actresses, too?" "Well, not so many. You see, they know how to do their own make up. That's a part of their business just as much as fine dress ing; but ladies generally make a botch of it either get too much or too little, so they save themselves the bother and fuss by having it done for them just as much as hair dressing or manicuring. There, your hair's done now better let me touch your face up a little you've no idea how nice you'd look. No! Well good day." My Turkish bath attendant tells mo that she has seen the frightful ravage which cos metics and dyes have produced. "I wish ladies would see the results of such follies as I have," she said, "they would not try every vile cosmetic and hair wash In the market" Hair dressers say that the yellow bleach is not much in demand now. The lemon haired blondes are not in vogue. The red haired girl is the rage. The hair that looks brown in the dark and turns red in the sun is also very desirable. POISOXOUS COSMETICS. I know a lady who had such hair, or, at least, her back hair was that color. Her bangs were much darker than her back hair, and the contrast was not pretty. Her hair dresser suggested doctoring them a bit "I dont dare," she said. "I have stuff which will do it positively harmless," he urged. "Drink some of it and IH believe you," she said, and he complied. She argued that if it couldnt hurt his stomach it ought not her head, and allowed transformation to take place. Nor has she ever experienced any ill results. But it is generally very unsafe to tamper with one's hair. Blindness and in sanity are often brought about by this folly. This has been told women again and again, but they pay no heed and rush madly in where angels would fear to tread. There is no risk a woman will not run, no pain she will not suffer, if she thinks thereby she can be made more beautiful I know a woman who has used cosmetics all her life, and those, too, of the rankest and most poisonous kinds. Now she is paying for it Her skin is something terrible to see. Physicians tell her it's her stomach, but those who have seen her daubing on lotions, pastiles and powders know better. She was a hand some woman, too she had no need of these accessories. Her friends often remonstrated with her, but to no avail. Now she is reap ing the whirlwind. I know of another lovely woman who was sensitive about her freckles. She took some powerful cosmetic and removed them. She never seemed strong after that, and died be fore she was SO. I knew another who would take infinitesimal dose3 of arsenic. She died with some unknown stomach disease. But the saddest case I know of was one of a most beautiful, dashing society woman. I remember seeing her one night in her sump tuous, glowing beauty, the queen of an ice carnival, surrounded by flatterers and ad mirers. I did not see her again until three years afterward, and then she was being led along the street by an attendant totally blind from the excessive use of cosmetics and, worse than that, continually subject to terrible epileptic fits. These are "awful examples," but true ones. and still in the face of these and kindred warnings women will insist upon painting and powdering and dyeing themselves.

The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of the hroat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without excep tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the sj'stem and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs produc ing Consumption and to the head, caus ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to continue will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loose you your life.
