A SINGULAR PEOPLE.
ODD SPECIMENS OF HUMANITY ARE
RAMAPO MOUNTAINEERS.
AKMBOA of the Milkiest Haired and Pink
est Eyed Variety Arc Common Among
Them —They Are the Rest Hunters and
Flahermeu In the Land.
People who have nover been up in
the Barnapo mountains can hnvo little
idea of bow strange a race of people
live back in those high and rocky hills,
miles from any village, and with not a
rod of road by whioh their huts may be
reached by wagons. In other words, it
is not generally known that within 80
miles of the heart of New York city
ehere is a community as curious almost
as can be found in the remote mountain
recesses of Tennessee or North Caroli
na. It is a sort of lost tribe, or, rather,
an amalgamation of two lost tribes.
If ono can imagine whut sort of beings
would result from more than a century
intermarrying of American Indians and
Guinea negroes, with an occasional dash
of whito blood added to the mixture, ho
may form a notion of the people that
live back in the rugged hills that rise
about Suffern, Kamapo, Sloatsburg,
Woodbourno, Tuxedo and other places
in tho Kamapo valley. But it would
rake a protty brisk imagination to pic
ture some of the queer specimens of hu
manity that have resulted from this
mixture.
Albincs of tho milkiest bnired and
pinkest eyed variety are common, and
the dime museums recruit their curio
halls in that line from among these
mountaineers, as did tho great and only
Barnum before them.
Back in tho last century and during
the first quarter of the present century
slaves wero common in that part of
New York state and the adjacent region
of New Jersey. These slaves were treat
ed no better by their old Dutch masters
than were their fellow bondsmen in the
south. Tbey were worked long and
hard, and the lash was not spared. Con
sequently runaway slaves were many.
These runaways invariably sought the
fastnesses of the surrounding mountains.
It is a very difficult thing to make
one's way up and among the Kamapo
mountains even at this day, and it was
almost an impossibility in the slavery
days. As a result, when a negro once
succeeded in hiding there he was as safe
from recapture as if ho had gone to
Canada, although he might be within
sight and sound of his master's home.
Scores of runaways in time peopled tho
inaccessible hills, and in tho spots
where they throw up their first shelter
ing 'huts of bark or fallen trees or found
refuge in caves their descendants dwell
today.
The woods bad their Indian dwellers
already, and tho two races mingled.
These are tho strango people who aro
seen now and then in the little villages
along the Erie railway in Kockland and
the adjoining towns of Bergen and
Orungo counties, and whose homes are
far back in the hills. A characteristic
of these people is that tho names of the
old Dutch families iu which the orig
inal blacks were slaves have been re
tained by them, generation after gener
ation. The most numerous family of
the race goes by tho name of De Groat,
but there are Do Freoses, Vau Hoevens
and many other Des and Vans.
In the summer time you might climb
and clumber and stumble up the steep
udes and over the rocky summits of tho
Kamapo mountains all day and not see
* solitary sign of a habitation, although
there woul" be mauy on all sides of
yon. They are so deftly tucked in
among the rocks and hidden by the trees
- ~ '~jl foliage that only ono acquainted
*' "■ .vitk the ways of tho mountaineers could
and them. In the fall, when the trcos
ire hare, the huts stand revealed to any
who may pass that way, and such are
j few, for although there is no better
ruffed grouse shooting anywhere than
in these mountain fastnesses tho weary
.•limbing necessary to get to tho haunts
of these birds is more than tho average
sportsman cares to undergo.
Thoro is no ground that might grow
anything about any of these huts; not a
chicken or a fowl of any kind; not
even a pig. But there are dogs without
limit —mongrel, wolfish looking dogs,
snoh as might hang about Indian camps
—and always from ono to half a dozen
half naked, eerie, elfish looking chil
dren, who, at sight or sonnd of a stran
ger, Boamper to cover in the hut, in the
brush or amcug tho rooks, disappearing
as completely as a startled brood of
young qnail.
How do tbeso people subsist? They
are the best hunters and fishermen in
the land, and game and trout are abun
dant all about them. They huut and
snare grouse and rubbits and catch trout
for the market during the season. The
women and children pick berries. For
the products of tbo forest, streams and
byry patches these peoplo obtain store
goods at the villages, both tho luxuries
and tho necessaries—the latter being
. chiefly whisky and tobacco, tho former
I floor, meal and cheap dress goods. For
a their own home providing tho possnin
" and the ooon are plentiful at their very
doors, and the obickeii coops of tbo out
lying farms and villages are not entire
ly inaccessible. Now and then a De
Groat or Van Somebody-or-other will
hire out to do work by the day, but he
is looked upon by his fellow mountain
ters as a degenerate. Some of tho female
children grow to be extremely handsome
and shapely young womou, but it is
rare that there are any marriages among
these people outside of their owu race.

EALSE TEETH TRADE.
A REGULAR BUSINESS IN BUYING AND
SELLING THEM.
Sometime! tho Discarded Sets Are Cleans
ed, Urlghtencd Up and Resold, and
Sometimes They Are Broken Up For the
Old Gold In Them.
"Old False Teeth Bought."
This is the sign whioh attracts the
attention of visitors to the office of a
certain dealer in dental and optical sup
plies who does business in Chicago.
"It's queer how people aro attracted
by that sign," said tho owner of tho
establishment. "I never intended it to
be prominent, brcause there aro other
lines in my business I am more interest
ed in pushing, but it seems to fairly
force itself into tho minds of everybody
who oomes here, no muttor what his
mission may be, and 'old false teeth
bought' is the only thing they can think
or talk about.
"There's nothing audaoious in deal
ing in secondhand false tooth, although
I will admit tho sign is an unusual oue.
It is a legitimate branch of onr trade.
With ordinary usago fulso teeth don't
wear out aud are just as good at the end
of a few yoars as they wero when new.
The teeth themselves are valuable, and
tho gold work used in binding oven tho
commonplace kind together is costly.
People are forever getting new idens
about their teeth and keep the dentists
bnsy changing or building over their
artificial molars. Then, you remember
that a whole lot of people who wear
false teeth aro dying every day.
"Ten years ago there was no way of
utilizing this old material. It was all
dead waste, so to speak. But now it is
different, and people aro moro econom
ical. False teeth, especially if heavily
set with gold plates, are worth too much
money to bo cast aside when new ones
are ordered or to be buried in a grave.
Tlins it comes that a trado of consider
able proportions has sprung up in this
line, and old false teeth are a staple in
this market."
"Who brings them hero to soil and
what class of customers buy them?"
"Small dentists who are hard up
financially and lack the inclination or
facilities to clean up and bnild over tho
discarded sets, which they are sharp
enough to retain from their patrons, aro
tho main source of supply. Sometimes
they make their patrons a little allow
ance for the old sets of teeth, but they
get out of this whenever possiblo on tho
plea that they aro worthless. Then we
have poor folk who cannot afford to
wear false teeth any longer como in
hero occasionally and offer them for
salo. Undertakers? Well, that is a fea
ture of tho trade I don't caro to talk
about. I might be misunderstood, and
some people are so squeamish, you
know.
"Why, one woman came in here yes
terday to bny an opera glass. Sho look
ed like a good customer and was inspect
ing some high priced glasses when I
stopped to wait upon a man who fre
quently brings in some fine teeth. She
saw mo take a set from him and pay
for them, and then, noticing probably
his somber clothes and an end of black
crape sticking out of one of his side
pockets, she flounced away in a fury
without a word of explanation. It is
hard to please everybody, and as times
are hard I have to be very careful."
"But what about your sales? Who
takes theße old grinders and incisors
from you?"
"Principally a class of mon who
make a business of working over the
sets. When the outfit is in reasonably
good shape, it is given a thorough
cleansing, brightened up, and thou re
sold to dentists who havo a cheap pat
ronage. A little tinkering will make
them fit after a fashion in tho mouths
of people who want to mako a show of
false te'oth at small cost. Where the sets
aro not good enough to be used
they ore broken up, the gold either
meltod down or saved to bo remodeled,
and tho teeth themselves remounted as
they aro needed for patients. It's a good
thing for poor peoplAfor mauy of them
nro thus enabled to *ot passably fair
false teeth at a nominal price, when
otherwise they would have to go with
out, owing to the great expense. Excuse
me while I wait upon this woman."
When Tho Inter Ocean man loft the
establishment, the merohant was dick
ering with an amplo proportioned Af
rican "aunty" for u double set of teeth
with heavy gold plates, which she said
she had found in a hotel where she
worked as chambormaid.
"Der geumau' don' go to 'at 'ors
pital," said aunty. "E's waz so sick
when dey tak' 'im way ho don' clar

A MODEL WIFE.
She Dons Black In Memory of Her IJn*
mourned Predecessor.
He had asked her to be "hls'n, •• and
she had made up her mind that she had
"worked out" long enough anyway. So
alio accepted him. She waH perfeotly
satisfied with her place, but she wanted
to have a house of her own. So they
were married.
It wusn't long afterward that she
came back to see her former mistress
about something, and the latter noticed
that she was wearing monrning. Of
course she was sorry for her and was
rather surprised that she made no men
tion of her beronvement. It is, indeed,
a gricvons thing when a honeymoon is
cut short.
Finally the former mistress brought
np the subject herself.
"You are in mourning, Maggie," Bhe
suggested. -
"Yes," replied Maggie complaoent
ly, and with no show of feeling at all.
"I Fought it was the least I could do
for 'im."
"It is showing no more than proper
respect of course. I am very sorry. It
must have been a great shock."
"Great shock!" exclaimed Maggie in
surprise. Then as she grasped the idea
she went ou, "Oh, he ain't dead," with
the accent on "ho."
"You haven't lost your husband?"
Maggie shook her head.
"Then why are you in such deep
mourning?"
"Just to please the poor lad," an
swered Maggie. "You see, it's this
way, "she went ou when sho had de
cided to tell the story. "After we was
married ho comes to me on ho says,
'Maggie,' ho says, 'the poor woman uiv
er had anybody to put ou mournin fer
her, 1111 I duuuo that she's been treated
right,' ho says. 'Who?'says I. 'Me first
wife,' says he. 'She was all alone in
the world, exceptin fer mo,' ho says.
'She had no winimen folks to wear
mournin for her.' And so I says to him,
'l'll do it' fer the poor woman,' I says.
An here I am."
AUG the best of it is that the story is
absolutely truo.—Chicago Post.
DREW PAY, BUT DID NO WORK
And When Discharged Wanted a Certifi
cate For Ability and Honesty.
1 "Fancy a fellow picking your pocket
and asking for a'character,' " said a
businessman tko other day. "That's
beou my experience. I hired a young
man about a month ago to solicit orders
for me on commission, with S2O a week
guarantee. As he turned nothing in
after a fortnight I began to suspect that
: he was working for another iirm and
doing nothing to earn the S2O, so I told
him that if no order materialized by
the end of the week he must not expect
; to continue in my employ,
j "I made inquiries which convinced
me that ho was doing what I suspected,
but I got no legal proof that he was tak
ing my money on false pretenses. So
when the week was up I was forced to
j pay him a third S2O, making S6O in all,
1 which, I felt sure, ho had done little or
: nothing to earn. Before doing so I told
\ him of my suspicions, which was fool
-1 isb, as I met only with denials which I
i couldn't disprove, although in answer
to the qnestions of the cross examina
! tion I pnt him through he made state
! meats which I knew to bo lies,
j "In spite of my accusations he eeem
! Ed to think that my paying him the
| final S2O was acknowledgment that I be
lieved his denials, and after recoiving
' the money ho asked if I would give a
certificate as to his ability and honesty
in case he found it necessary to call up
on mo for one. I answered that I would
; at least sign nothing against him, for
after paying him to no purpose money
I could ill afford I didn't want to make
an enemy of him, but advised him not

; GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE.
SOSIICH Worn by Army Surgeon* aud Their
History.
j A great many people do not know
I why army surgeons wear green sashes.
It is not so much an insignia of rank as
! it is a protection to tho wearer. Aecord-
I ing to the code of war, surgeons are
: never shot or taken prisoners. Todelib
| cratoly shoot a surgeon while he is
i wearing his sash is considered a viola
j tion of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons of
i ouo urmy never refuse to look after the
j wounded of the other army if it is possi
> ble for them to do so. During tha civil
! war it was often the case that after a
| battle tho field hospitals would contain
I almost an equal number of men dressed
j in blue and gray. Tho Federal army
i had the best surgeons and the best
| stores, and a wounded Confederate con
i sidered himself in great luck if he was
j romoved to a Fodoral hospital to be
1 carod for by Federal surgeons aud phy-
I sicinns.
| But in the heat of battle a green sash
! is not much protection, and surgeons
I were often wounded or killed. But this
: did not keep the surgeons at the rear
| until the battle was over. Thoy were
often fonnd in the thick of the fray,
I dressing wonnds and sending the wound
i ed to the rear. Theirs was a perilous as
j woll as a noble duty, and thoy perform
ed it well.—Omaha World-Herald.
A Popular Choice.
Lady Castlerosso heads tho list of tha

i Her election, it is said, has aroused tho
' greatest interest among Ireland's poor,
| who hope that if members of the aris
tooracy take up suob duties lurger ineas

i If you would be well spoken of, learn

A Man Who Is Tired
All the time, owing to impoverished
blood, should take Hood's Sarsapa
rilla to purify and enrich his blood
and give him vitality and vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack
of energy is a natural consequence
of the coming of warmer weather,
which finds the system debilitated
and the blood impure.
A good spring medicine is a necessity
with almost everyone. Hood's Sar
saparilla is what the millions take
in the spring. Its great power to
purify and enrich the blood and
build up health is one of the facts
of common experience.
Storms and Signs.
Prof Coles in his Storms and Signs
for Mjay gives the following forecast:
Our predictions last month that April
would be like both December and
May; that tidal waves and earth
quakes would do great damage, and
that strange appearing circles would
be seen around the moon, etc., all
came as predicted. This month the
sun's rays will not be thrown out of
their regular channels—as the gaseous
matter has passed off" the sun entirely
—and we have reasons to believe that
the month of May, in the main, will
be a lovely month, like the May months
of long years ago, when sunshine and
showers caused all nature to leap for
•joy, This will be the first time in
seven years for the sun's rays to strike
the earth direct without being inter
cepted by some foreign matter. There
may be quite a disturbance among
the elements on or about the 20th
inst.
Just notice the increase of crimes
this month.

THE ODBAN FLAG.
The flag of Cuba is a "single star
banner." It is composed of five
stripes —three'blue and two white.
On the left side there is a red tri
angle with a five pointed star in the
center. The origin of the flag dates
backs to the year ISSI, when the
first Cuban insurrection, under the
leadership of Gen. Narciso Lopez,
took place. The stripes of the flag
were an emblem of liberty, and the
five pointed star indicated the five
provinces which participated in the
uprising.
