Some nulli ties say that the number could ' have exceeded a million, others i-.'serl that It would not have been m ue than oiiO.OOO, and still others contend that there were never more than S'.'iJ.OOO. At the present time there are about 284,000 members of tiie red race In the United States, and statistlcans say they are on tie lr.crease at the present time. Nearly all the tribes are west of the Mis-slt-sippi, In fact most of thum are beyond the Missouri. There are 150 reservations in all. In the north--fst"rn part of New York there aro about 5. Oii dependents of the great narrior tribes living on eii?ht irser vations. Today there are 159.0n0 Indians who wear citizens' dress in whole or In part, and 30,000 who can read and siak English.

He Is now working among the 'pi- of his race in Oklahoma and Van Territory. harles Curtis, the new United . . i:os senator from Kansas Is the ' representative of the American lian in that body. Mr. Curtis is n:t of pure Indian Unease, but his mother belonged to the Kaw tribe. He and his five children have received allotments of Shawnee county land In settlement of what Uncle Sam tlinks he owes to the race. Mr. Cur es has already served fourteen years la the House. The foremost Indian In public life today is Quonah Parker, chief of the Comanches, and a political power in the new State of Oklahoma. Chief Parker Is a Democrat, and there art many who say he will come to the Senate from the nowly admitted Com monwealth. He was opposed to the union of Indian Territory with Okla homa and was the leading spirit in the convention which met to frame a constitution for the proposed State of Sequoyah. Chref Parker's mother was a white woman, Cllndy Parker, who was captured by the Indians when a girl, and later became the wife of Quonah, a Ccmarch warrior. The main effort of Indian Educa" today la to make hhn competent to warn a white man's wages. The ag ent on the Pine Ridge Agency In South Dakota advertises to supply Indian laborers for work on railroads and Irrigation ditches. Employers of labor who are using them for ditch ing or grading say they are reliable and steady. Many Indians are making their mark as business men. Col. Sol llcLlek, a rich Chickasaw, and a number of his wealthy tribesmen, have stabllshed a banking and real estate trm in Oklahoma nenr the Chickasaw boundary In order to handle the aff airs of their people.

In Greek Idotes began by meaning a private individual, as op posed to the stato or to a state offi cial; then it meant a non-expfcrt or layman, and, finally, an Ignorant man er an awkward fellow. It was loft f ir English to carry the meaning fur ther to mental deficiency. In "Piera Plowman." an "Idiot" is an ignorant person, and as lute as 1C92 It could iwan a person who knew only one language. Wycllff and Jeremy Tay lor used it in the sense of "layman" P.rA the latter also in that of "private .t r And a professional "fool" v.ter was at one time lin "Idiot." A WONDERFUL GOWN. Richest and Most Expensive Dress In the World. The most expensive dress in thj world cost 50,000, and has been cm eiurred the most wonderful creation cf tl.e Parisian dressmaker's art. It was made for the famous Empress Josephine, who, In the height of her l i inarl'y, was perhaps the mor-t beau tiful woman In the world. The gown wr'-hs 75 pounds and has a train 15 i-. t lonir. It Is made of tfie heaviest nr;l richest velvet of the choicest manufacture , and Is lordered with ermine that coft a small fortune. The Fkirt, bodice and train are studded with hand-worked golden lees, sym lw)!ic of the Napoleonic dynasty. Tastefully worked into the gowu are many co3tly Jewels. Exchange. Stylish Linen Suit. Linen Jacket sulU are the favored pn 1 they are made In all colors. Pink Is the color pcheme carried out In this iVsIrh, and there are no decorations but small bullet pearl buttons. An all-over embroidered blouse is worn tinder the jacket, and the hat Is white Neapolitan 'trimmed with large pink rosea. A Woman of Weight.

Fhrenology, as a science, has been familiar to Uie Chinese for many cen turies past, and it is worth ninaing that the earliest notice of it lu Chin ese literature by a famous philoso pher known as Hslln Tzu, of the third century B. C. Is a denunciation of Its principles and practice as char latanism and humbug. This attack was directed especially ugalnst t?;osJ quacks who begun to stretch the func tion of phrenology beyond the out ward expression of emotions and In tellectual faculties on the surface of the head, to prophecy and directions for guidance In regard to the futuro of each Individual. How far he suc ceeded may be guaged from the fact that In any town In China at the present day may bo found professors of phrenology who, for a small fee, will examine your heard and advise you on marriage or other Investments. In regard to the head, Chinese In vestigators, especially in recent times, writes Prof. H. A. Giles of Cambridge university, have always shown a marked preference for the face, and three-fifths, perhaps of what has Iwen written by them would come rather under the head of physlogomy. The skull Is eonsldred most per fect when rovnd, with a tendency to wards a conical rising at the top, the latter feature Indicating great In-tv-Iloctual powers. A hatchet face, with a broad flat top to the head, means vacillation and Indecision. The most Important parts of the skull are the forehead and the occi put, tho latter of which Is callwd the pl'.lowbone. G"nerally speaking, a high and broad forehead gives good hope of long life. Bumps and depressions on the oc ciput play an important part. Taking a diagram of the occiput as an exam ple, we find two connected bumps, low down at the back of the head, to dvnote a martial temperament; a bump nearer the top. shaped like an fpg lying on its side, to denote truth fulness and firmness; two similar egg- shaped bumps, but standing on na, one on rich side of the head, to de note a fiery tf niperament and great nt-lf confidence; two crescent shnpotr bumps between these last two, to denote longevity; three small bumps nbnve a ridge to denotvj Intelligence, and so on. In conclusion, It may be said that the Chinese believe the outer con figuration of the skull to b depend ent upon the shape of tho brflJn within and that they connect certain moral qualifications with certain bumps and depressions found on tho skull. In conformity with the Confucian dogma thf.t was born good, and becomes evil only by his environment, so thvy further believe that bumps and de pressions are developed on the surface of the skull by influence from wlihln, which Influences, in their turn have b(Kn Inspired from without. RATTLE OF THE PORCUPINE. Animal a Noisy Neighbor When Disturbed at Night. The Superintendent of the London Zoological Gardens, Mr. Pocock, has been giving the members of the Socie ty some Interesting notes on the rat tle of the porcupine. This animal. It Is well known makes a loud rustling noise when It mores, especially when Irritated or alarmed. In the Gardens It Is described as very noisy at nights, and sounding Its rattle whenever any. one approaches Its pen. The noise Is produced by the agitation of certain modified tall spines. Some of tneue are formed of a slender basal part ending in a long spatule, others are quill like with open tops. A gradual passage from the normal quills to these modified forms can he traced. At the end of the eighteenth centu ry' Thunberg drew attention to these curious spinet In the tall ot the Cey lon porcupine, but dows not seem to have had any Idea of their use. Ho states that he was told they were for the purpose of carrying water for their young. The porcupine was sup posed to have the power of bending over these hollow quills Into the wat er supply, where they filled, presumab ly by suction. The liquid was sup posed to be thus carried home. The porcupines form a remarkable division of the rodent order, and are chiefly notable for their very effi cient armor of spines. These spines being modified hairs, point backwards as the hairs of other animals. And If put on the defensive, as when piiT'-ued by a d''g. they use them very ff'ictlvely by charging backwards. True porcuplm s are confined to the Old World. They ure all tvrretrlal animals and In them tho quills are not mingled v. lth ordinary hulrs. Their New World repr.-'-entat.ives aro, with one exception, arboreal In their hab its, and have ipillls mingled with ordi nary hair, and in some cases conceal ed by It. The flesh of the true por cupine Is said to lie not bad eating, and sometimes between pork and veal In flavor. Crown of King Charles. King Charles of Ron mania wears a remarkable crown. It was fashioned, In accordance with his wish, of steel from a Turkish gun captured at Plevna as a remembrance U all time of the achievements on the battle fields of Bulgaria and of the fact that the now kingdom was not hampered by traditions. At his coronation, when he took the crown In his hands he said: "I assume with pride this crown, wrought from a cannon sprink led with blood of our heroes and con secrated by the Church. I accept it as a symbol of the Independence and power of noumanla," NEW YORK MARKETS. Wholesale Prices of Farm IPolnce (Quoted for the Week.

Hunter hr." ordered the public road survey in I, y turning county, as well as in all counties of the state, to cease indefinite!'. This was in the nature of a surprise to the many surveyors in all parts of Pennsylvania, and also somewhat of a disappointment ns the work was expected to keep many men at work for a period of two years. There is ro intimation from St.ite Commissioner Hunter when the work will he resumed. He is anxi ous to have it completed, but ives as the reason for the abandonment of the work a lack of funds. The recent session of the state Legisla ture passed a very liberal appro priation for public road improve ments throughout the state, and this will be applied, prorata among the counties of the state in straight stone road improvement, but there is no cash to spare for extra enter prises. The commissioner is now engaged in making up a schedule for the new road improvements and it is supposed that Northumber land county will shortly learn what its share is and how it will be ap portioned. The Ordy Survivor of the Hayes Arctic Expedition, Mr. S. J. McCormick, now U. S. Deputy Mineral Surveyor, Bliss Station, Idaho, says: "For years I have suffered from severe pains in the hip joint and back bone, de priving me of all power.
