It is the most horrible sight I ever saw-—several hun- dred of these dried heads, tied by the tongue, hanging to the beams amid the gay plumage of the most gorgeous feath- ers you ever saw. When they go out to work they take out these heads, and, stuck on lances, plant them around the scene of their labors; andwhen they have war-dances or feasts, these trophies are trotted out, and there is the horrid evi- dence of the warriors’ prowess, whichthe father can point out to his son,and which nobody can defy.” ‘‘Are these Indians known by the pe- culiar mark or painting process?’ “No; they do not paint much, but their mode of tattooing i 8 something un- ique.

Wkhen the boy wants to become a man a pair of gloves is prepared for him, which consist of two pieces of palm-tree bark, the pitch beng all seraped, though left at one end. These gloves ure then filled with red and black ants, who bite and sting most vie: iously. When the gloves are well filled the candidate for manly honors pulls them on, and dare not show the white feather. If he does, no maiden will ever look upon him, nor will he be allowed to g0 to battle, but is an outcast and des- pised man, He boldly pulls them on, and, d the music of fifes and drums, he must dance before every hut in the village. Then the ants put in their work, they bite and _sting like mad; over and ever again they insert their tiny and poisonous fangs into his soft flesh, and in this dreadful agony he keeps on until he has danced before every deor. His eyes become bloodshot, his face pale, his veins swell, cold perspiration volls off his body and out of every pore. hausted he sinks, and then comes time for congratulation, The gloves are torn off—he has gone through the fiery erdeal and is justly entitled to the applause of the fair.

It is made from a kind of podlike plant called niopo. They pick these pods when ripe, and, cutting them into small pieces, fling them into a pot of water until they are macerated and the pods turn black. They are then picked out and pounded fine,then rolled into lit- tlo caker and mixed with juice of the abuta, some manioc flour, and lime made from a burnt shell. The cakes are then dried over a slow fire. The operation of taking the snuff is as strange as the man- ufacture of it. When the Mandrucan foels like taking apinch of snufthe scrapes off a spoonful from his cake and spreads it all over a saucer with the bristles of the great ant-eater. He gooes deliberate- ly to work, hurrying about nothing. When he has got the powder soft enough he brings outa couple of quills of the harpy eagle or the shank bones of a hird like tho plover, which are tied together, and, inhaling in each nostril, gets a good sniff. The etfect is like a shock from a galvanic battery; his body is all of a tremble, his eye-balls starts out as if they would burst from their sockets, his knees sink outward, and he falls to the ground asif ina fit of intoxication. It lasts, however, only for a moment, then he feels tip-top, and jumps about and cavorts like a madman. He is brave and wants to fight, and is full of exhilerating feel- ings and savage joy.” “Do thcf' work any, or have they any commercial importance?” ‘“‘Very little, Their country, however, abounds in the finest sarsaparilla root that is known, It is known to commerce as the Brazilian or Lisbon sarsaparilla, and ix much stronger and more pu igent than the sort you have in_this country. Tt grows out of the ground for fifteen or twenty feet and embraces the trees in all directions, The main root sends out long tendrils, which are covered with a brownish bark. During the rainy season the Mandrucans collect these roots, and, tying them up in Hundles of about twen- ty five pounds each, sell them to the Portugese traders. Most of this work falls upon the women and children, but he man always take the money or goods given in exchange, The sarsaparilla is a great South American remedy, and is a splendid blood purifier bt o CAUSE OF FAILURE, W ant of confidence accounts for half of the business failures of to-day.

In the mountain sections thousands of trees can be found ten feet through above the swell of the stump, and three hundred feet high. Some, of this height, have been found fifteen feot in diameter. Trees of twelve feet through are com- mon in several of the mountain sec- tions. One mill company sent an expert upon a square mile of its property to make an estimate of the amount standing. He de- cided that it would runabove twenty mil. lions of feet, and might reach forty mil- ions. The Governor of the Territory regards fifteen million feet as a fair average for the whole timber area of twelve million acres. A Government surveyor, who has made himeelf familiar with large sections of this timber belt, names four townships on the wpper and castern shore of the sound where he asserts that the trees will average seven feet in diameter and 325 feet high. He says they stood o thick that it will be difficult to remove them. At Seattle a log had been brought in to exhibit, which was 104 feet long, and would square for that length thirty-six by forty inches.

The secret of its color was found, on following it up, to bo that it ran di- rectly from the great glacier of the mountain. This ico river of Tacoma is » in summer, and its flow grinds up and soil, and sends it down in such quantities as to mase the river turbid to its mouth. When winter stops the move- ment of the glacier, the river becomes clear and beautiful, like all its fellows of this region. H. V. B. | —— Your health depenas on the purity of gour blood.

An exciting whale hunt took place at West Voe, Dunrossness, on Thursday, Sept. 20, resulting in the capture of a shoal of twenty-eight whales. Early in the morning a number of six-oared boats wero proceeding to the fishing, when they observed the shoal disporting them- selves close to Sumburgh Head. They immodiately gave chase,jand succeeded in driving them all ashore. An oye witness describes the scene of slaughter as wild in the extreme. Along the head of the Voe were spread the whales, lashing the water into foam in their death struggles, while in the midst of the blood and foam the men, wading waist deep in water, were seen going from fish to tish and plunging lances into the true of larch, and it attains a height equal to any.

One handles logs one hundred and twen- ty feet long, and cuts 400,000,000 an- nually. But asyet only the margin of the forest has been cut into. There are immense tracts which as yet are prac- tically unexplored. While this unrivaled body of timber seems inoxhaustible, it sorely needs pro- tection. Fire annually destroys millions of feet, possibly as much as the mills now cut. Hunters are careless and cause many widespread conflagrations.
