THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS. SUPERIORITY OF THE HUPA TRIBE. Their Primitive Life as Pictured in the National Museum. HE Hupa Indians are extravagant in hats. ~ In the savage world they are a fashionable people. The value set “upon a Hupa dandy’s hat is from @30 to $60, and the love of gay bonnets draws a bond of sympathy between the savage maiden of Northern California and the ladies of fashion through all civilization. The Ray collection from the Hupa reserva- tion forms an independent study at the National museum. The Klamath river tribes in Northern California form a little world of antiquity inlaid into modern civilization. In former times six distinct stocks of Indians dwelt in the northern part of California west of the Coast Range, each aking a distinct language. Of these the “Hupas were the leading race—the Romans of & prehistoric civilization—superior in skill, state- craft and language. The “diplomatic” language was Hupa, and other races had to pay tribute to the Hupas. Lieut. P. H. Ray, U. S. army, started out to make a collection of ethnological materia?from these tribes in 1885,with the result that the primitive lifeof these people is com- letely pictured to the observant visitor at the National museum. The Hupas, without being a marvelously en- lightened race, paid great attention to their heads. It was the cranium rather than the in- telleet they labored to adorn. The women’s hats represented in, the collec- tion might be mistaken for baskets of very ornamental design. They are dainty little hemispherical bowls made of fiber, woven to- gether with great nicety, and gaily embroid- ered in yellow, brown and black. The colors ate artistically blended, and with a never-re- curring variety of fillets, bands, triangles and pacallelograms which please the eye by their orm and color, The body weaving is done with the brown fiber, showing on the inside and occasionally On the outside in narrow bands, figures and diaper work. Most of the outer side is orna- mented by overlaying each strand of the brown With a strip of tough grass, in natural color or dyed, or with a strip of the black stalk of the maiden-hair fern. In twining her weft, the Savage weaver managed to keep these colored grass strips outward, although she would for Variety occasionally hide the grass aud reveal the body brown, Much more display and elaboration, but less nicety of taste is shown in the hat worn by the Hupe dude when he appears at the dance to celebrate his entrance into the council circle at the age of twenty. These Hats are made of ® gaily-painted band of eel-skin about 7 inches le and cutin the shape of a right trapezoid, 19 inches at the top and 22 inches at the bottom. The two edges are sewed together yery skillfully, so as not toshow the stitches from the outside, forming a crownless hat tapering upward. The body of the hat is painted Four panels on cartouches are traced in blue lines, from which extend in- wardly points and wavy lines of solid blue onto a field of clay white, the interior of the panels being painted white with pipe-clay. ‘trings of calico rags tied under the chin hold the hat on. The tall wing feather of a goose is stuck straight up from the front anda bunch of owl feathers hangs behind. Another head dress is a band of soft deer skin combined with strips of various ornamental material. The lower band, about an inch wide, is the deer skin with the hair left on. Above this the hair of the deer is replaced by 2 band of the breasts of blue jays, 344 inches wide, and above that a band of alternating points of black and white of deer skin and feathers. Above all is a row of pompons of woodpecker crests. The band is held rigid by splints and down the back hang two flaps of buckskin. All sorts of ornaments are used for these hats— otter skins, wings, crests, neck and tail feath- ers of flickers, woodpeckers, dacks and blue jays, fox skins, dyed grasses, shells, and what- not. A variety of head and neck ornaments are made of feathers and colored grasses woven to- — Necklaces are made of shells, nuts, ads, grasses, feathers and strips of leather. A much admired necklace is made of grasses and yellow, black and red yarn woven into a sort of crescent shape. Plumes are made of and grasses woven together.

Others are used singly, The drum, the whistle, and the rattle sounded together inspire the Hupas in their dances. An interesting and instructive feature of the collection are the various implements used in the collection, preparation and serving of food. The Hupas fished or hunted or harvested ac- cording to the season of the year and the product of the month furnished the food thereof. Their harvesting consisted in the gathering of nuts and acorns, chiefly the lat- ter. The acorns were a most important food product. They were gathered in the fall and stored for winter and spring. They were ground into flour and made into mush and bread. The outfit for the acorn industry represented in the Ray collection is a carrying basket, a mill and a stone pestle. The carrying basket is used by the women in gathering the acorns, It is an osier hamper about 16 inches | high and 20 inches in diameter, fashioned by fastening the warp by means of twined cords of osier. Around the top are six or seven rows of close-twined weaving, with brown rush and grass, the colors alternating. The basket is carried by the women by means of a band across their foreheads. The forehead is —— by a catrying pad, consisting of a isk of mat 5x4 inches. made of a coil of grass | rope sewed together with grass, From each end of this pad a rope extends above the ears back to the basket. STONE. PESTLE In October the Indi s beat the trees for acorns, which they carry to their homes in the deep conical carrying basket. They are then prepared by the women for grinding. The plant of the millis very primitive. The mill con- sists of a mortar stone, mat or tray, a hopper, a pestle and a broom made of grass roots, The whole plant is entirely portable, and the grind- ing is done by muscle power. The basket tray is intended to receive the grist when the hop- r and stone are not glued together. The owl-shaped hopper baskets vary in size and adornment, The specimen in the Ray collec- tion is 10 inches wide at the top and has an opening of 3!¢ inches in the bottom. It is woven of osier and grass. The warp is of osier radiated. Commencing at the lower edge the weft is composed of two rows of plain twined osier; four rows of three-ply twine, commencing with two strands of osier and one of brown bast, and ending with three of brown. The greater part of the body is made ordinary rattle and is mounted | suckers of stic! hy oS been slipped and the wood put through a pro- bso whi feathers the back bows are mented yards an: The fis! to a lon mented the skin KN There knife, strij tied long. 134 of a great di Among ceremoni or jasper, part. to preve! ting the mounted shape.

The geometric figures that ornament it are in black,brown, and | grass color. The margin is very curiously | wrought. The end of the warp osiers are bent downward and plaited into an eight-ply braid and the ends cut off on the inside. “As the braid passes ech warp osier it is plaited in and one cut off. This braid forms a margirat an angle of 45 degrees. Under the cut ends a hoop of willow is bound. In using this hopper a large shallow basket is placed on the ground and a flat stone placed in the basket. The hopper is held in place upon the stone by the left hand, while with the right, the acorns, manzanita or whatever is to be made into grist is dumped into the hopper and ground with the stone pestle, which is held in the right hand. The basket forming part of the outfit is woven in atrefoil pattern in brown and grass colors. The rude pestles are made by knocking off the edges of a piece of hard rock, and sometimes they are ground smooth. In this primitive mill the Hupas ground their acorns. The squaws first removed the bulls by holding the acorn on a stone and giving it a slight tap with the pestle. The nuts are then dried and put in the hopper, where they are submitted to the grinding process as described, q > Ak“ > FED aan VER Too.

The Government's Biennial Blue Book and How It Is Made. THE FIRST OFFICIAL REGISTER AS COMPARED WITH THE LAST—REMARKABLE GROWTH OF THE Goy- ERNMENT AS EXHIBITED IN A FILE OF THE BLUE BOOKS—A PERIOD OF SEVENTY-THREE YEARS. Once every two years the government has a private census. It is confined to its own household and only those who are in the official ranks are counted, It is not exactly a taking account of stock, as this phrase is understood in business hou but it is an attempt to col- lect the names of “‘all the hands,” as a late democratic official called the employes of a division over which he was called to preside, Everybody who was in the service of the gov- ernment on the Ist day of July, 1889, is sup- posed to be counted. The enumeration begins with the President of the -United States bos goes down through the rank = file to the scrubbers and char woman, who, as they get the smallest pay, naturally stand at the bottom of the list. The census- takers do not confine their labors to the depart- ments in this city, but they go through this vast country and wherever they find a customs official or an internal revenue agent or a post- master or a postmaster’s clerk, they put down the names and include them all in the roster which is made up of those who serve Uncle Sam. When the names are all collected and | classified under the proper departmental divisions, then the lists are sent to the Interior ; department. where a force of clerks are set to | work to prepare them for the public printer. After a while two great bulky books are issucd | from the government printing office, and then it is announced that the new ‘Blue Book” is out. The name is derived from the color. of the cover, and is very English because that is the name given to the books issued by the British government containing the proceedings of parliament. ‘The covers of the British documents were originally of blue paper, but the American Blue Book has substantial board covers. The dark blue hue has been the characteristic feature of these books for a number of years past, and while the color has given it the popular name ; the official title remains unchanged. It is the Official Register, and it is so known and de- scribed by those who aim to be strictly official in their walk and conversation, THE FIRST BLUE BOOK. The Blue Book has worn such a sleek and prosperous appearance for so many years that some people no doubt imagine that it has al- ways been portly. A set of them arranged on a shelf reminds one, as the eye runs them down, of a large family of children where the oldest is about thirteen years old, and there are some eight or nine younger brothers and sisters, The fact is, that the baby Blue Book is pretty hard to distinguish at any distance. It is so thin and small, and if it was pat between volume 1 and volume 2, of the year 1887, it would be quite lost. It is old enough to be bigger, but Blue Books reverse the natural law, and the youngest are always the biggest. The first Blue Book was printed in the year 1792. It appeared in the form of a congressional docu- ment, and it shows that the employes in the executive departments, then located at Phila- delphia, numbered 134, exclusive of the heads ofthe departments, The Navy department was not then in existence, and the General Post Office, with Timothy Pickering as Postmaster bolecosiy is put down as having made no re- urls, THE NEXT BLUE BOOK was sent to Congress by President Jefferson on February 12, 1802, and the number of depart- ment employés was stated to be 126. The total amount paid in salaries to officials residing at the capital and connected with the executive branch of the government was in 1790 $41,868, In the year 1795 the salary account had in- creased to $71,997, and when the transfer of the government to this city was made the pay- roll amounted to $125,881. The salary of the President, which was then #25,000, is not in- cluded in these amounts. The Secretaries of State and of the Treasury in the year 1800 re- ceived $5,000 a year each, and the Secretaries of War and of the Navy 4,500 each. ‘The nal- of the clerks reached the highest point annual amount of about $1,350, while many were not paid more than $700. In 1792 the average salary paid to clerks was $500 per annum, but about the time of the re- moval to Washington there was an in- crease in the scale of i 80 that while the number of the clerical employes at the seat of government was about the same in the year 1800 as in 1792, the total amount paid for clerical service had increased some $80,000. The employes for the first year in the new city were Hf seagate among the departments as follows: State Department, 8 clerks; Treasury Department, 76 clerks, divided as follows: Secretary's office, 6 clerks; con- troller, 13; auditor, 13; treasurer, 4; commis- sioner of revenue, 5; régister, 18; superinten- dent of ae: 10; Fewoarmenray| v4 partment, 17; Navy De ent, 16, an master General, 10, Total 126, WHO SENT THEM TO CONGRESS. The first Blue Book was transmitted to the Senate by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the Senate. The second Blue Book was sent to the house by President Jefferson, as he said in accordance with the suggestions made by him in his last an- nual message. Some fourteen years apsed be- = cece Book was sapere then in year gress passed a law requiring the Secretary of State tocompile and print once in every two years ‘‘a register of all officers and ita, civil, milit and naval, in the service of the United States.” This was practically the first register of the present series, and the register has been issued every two oe since iod of seventy-t years far De- Post- that date. ‘The period covered by these publications, has been one of almost constant growth in the executive branches of the government.’ Every biennial iter contains more names than the pre- one, and the new one to be issued next winter it is predicted will not de- ween 15,000 and 20,000 persons in this city alone in the employ of the government. The complete roster will probably contain over 170,000 names of Ge This latter number includes the post office and customs employes and the great army of men in all parts of the country who are n to assist in keeping in motion the machi of the government.

Of all the studies known to mankind that of human nature furnishes the largest field. The student of this can always find material in abundance, and the study in itself is a never- ending one, It treats of the ludicrous as well as the pathetic and is highly interesting. One of the best places to study characters is in the parks of the city, Here the extremes of life meet, This is also the case elsewhere, but it is not so observable inthe hurrying throng on the streets or in crowded assemblies. In the parks there is a prospective, with nothing to distract the attention, and the mind is gener- ally free from other thoughts and more opened to impressions. Taken all im all it is the best of places to study certain phases of the city's life, and some queer, interesting aad amusing characters may be met with on the benches or sauntering about the smooth asphalt walks. It is here student of human nature will find pew material. Those who are interested in the more serious sides of life will come upon @ multiplicity of contrasts, andthe artist who delights in the picturesque can ‘find nowhere sucha large and productive field. Many a leisure hour can be well spent in watching the Pictures the parks furnish. It is a panorama, a never-ending, many-sided procession of pho- tographs, varied as any one might wish. The rave, the gay, the prosperous and the pover- ty-stricken, wretchedness in rags, and happi- ness in fine linen pass before the observer. THE TRAMP’S PARADISE. Truly it may be said, the park is the paradise ‘of the tramp. Here he luxuriates in all his lazi- ness, monopolizing the best seats and content- edly dozing or dreamily watching the passers- by with half-closed eyes. Who can tell the thoughts that flit through his mind as he sits on the hard wooden bench, his nose — in the sunlight? Is it with envious, regretfu. or bitter eyes that he sees the prosperous pa- rade? Do the little children, whose merry voices are wafted to him as they play on the soft green turf, carry him back to the days of his own childhood and the old home? Do the fresh, beautiful young girls in the light, gauzy fabrics remind him of a s¥eetheart he had in the long ago, or is it a wife he thinks of? ‘The elderly lady coming slowly down the path, per- haps, takes him back to his own home, where he was ‘happy in the possession of a mother to shield him from all harm. Where does he sleep? Everywhere, the world is his home. The student of civilization will try and find out the reasons of these things and the chitlren will cease in their merry romping to stare at this strange individual. THE NURSE MAIDS. There is another subject for the student—the | murse maids. You fiud them here, black and white, any fine day, wheeling baby carriages about the walks or sitting on the changing bits of gossip, sometimes varying the monotony at nearly every opportunity by a little flirtation. The Smithsonian grounds is a popular meeting place of the dusky belles and eaus of the city. The groups that gather every morning around the buildings form some of the most characteristic pictures of park life in Washington. People from the south are fa- miliar enough with it, but to the northerner it possesses the delightful charm of entire nov- elty, There are awkward salutations, clumsy compliments, laughable attempts at gallantry and unconscious flashes of humor. All the while the little toddlers play hide and seek among the bushes, while the big policemen smile leniently and the babies sleep. All day the parks are given up to the children, the nurse maids, visitors, tramps and occasional loungers who want to get away from the hot streets, IN THE EARLY MORNING. The parks are pleasantest, however, before any one comes, It may be said that Washing- ton gets up late. The people lose the best part of the day in bed. In the early morning walk- ing is a pleasure and not a pain, as it is during the heated part of the day. The hours between 5 and 8 in the morning are the most de- lightful of the day during the heated term. As the morning breaks all nature seems to re- sec in the birth of another day and the quiet eauty all about sppeals to the best that is in Down by the lakes to the north of the monument the frogs croak, and the fish in the propagating ponds are darting hither and thither in quest of breakfast. Over beyond the great white shaft the river flows and the first rays of the rising sun rest upon its restless bosom and upon the green of the Virginia hills, making a picture complete in its loveliness, The stroll the whole length of the mail is a de- lightful one. At every step new vistas of beauty charm the eye, and by the time the Botanical gardens are reached the saunterer is in a re- gretful mood that he has missed so much by not getting up early before. BIRDS AND TABBIES, They are just beginning work within the grounds, and the gates are open even though it is before the usual time. Here we see a sight that few strollers have noticed. The gardens are the great hunting grounds for the cats of Washington. They gather here from aJl parts of the city, attracted by the advantages it offers in the way of sport. The piace is a favorite one for birds to make their homes here, and more nests can be found among the trees and shrubs than in any other reservation of Washing. ton. The reason of this is doubtless because it is so quiet; few people visit the more retired nooks, confining themselves for the most to the green-houses. Then, again, food is plentiful. The seeds of the numerous plants and flowers are good food, and many a oy bit can be picked up among the various insects that prey upon all kinds of vegetable life. In their turn they are preyed upon by the cats, which lie in wait for them under the thick clus- tering shrubbery. As a result of this there is many a murder in the —— and every day finds a homeless family in the tree tops. IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS the parks have quite a different character from those of the morning. All day the people of leisure have been in possession, and now comes the turn of the workers, and they do not ne- lect their chance. Men and women who for ours have bent over desk and counter ei from hot homes and boarding houses and the glaring lights of streets and, in couples of twos and threes, stroll about under the beautiful trees or sit on the benches enjoying the cool air of the evening. Lovers, arm in arm, talk- ing in low whispers, are most noticeable i Eres Friends, too, come here for that privacy that they cannot have elsewhere, and the tired slaves of the government have full sway. The bicyclists are out in force also. The yunds about the ultural de, ent is e favorite haunt of the wheelmen, and, sit- ting in the picturesque little that fronts the red and brown building, Star reporter counted “eek an wy _ the hours of Tand 8 o'clock glidi: y like as many spec- ters, The thousand lights of the city shine out in the distance. A quiet calm seems to envelop everything, now and then broken by the strange, ead notes of the whip-poor-will from the Smithsonian re Night is at hand; the parks will soon be de- serted. The weary traveler turns homeward and the day is done. a PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS. Methods Which Popular Girls in Society ‘Will Do Well to Remember.
