AN ISOLATED TRIBE.
Self-Governing Community of In
dians in Vera Cruz.
Only People In the Republic of Mex
ico Who Have Maintained the
Individuality of Their
Rare.
Buried in the heart of a civilized,
powerful and progressive foreign peo
ple a little handful of Indians have
lived for 300 years, and have contrived
to keep during all that time their na
tional characteristics, their traditions
and their individuality. If you seek
them you will find them in Amatlan
de los Reyes, a village in the state oi
Vera Cruz, Mexico. They are known
as the Amateeas. A visit to Amatian
will well repay anyone who has any
interest whatever in seeing curious.
people with individual habits, customs ’
and civilization, says Modern Mexico.
It is no uncommon thing in Mexico
to find a tribe of Indians that has made
a determined effort to maintain its
individuality against the encroach
ments of a higher civilization. But
the Amateeas are perhaps the only
people in the republic who have suc
ceeded in retaining for themselves
what is practically, self-government.
It must not be understood that they
make any pretentions of being inde
pendent of the control of the federal
authorities in the City of Mexico.
They long ago gave up as hopeless any
struggle against the power of the
Spaniard, and later on the Mexican
nation, and this submission is responsi
ble for the fact that they have been
able to retain their ancient customs,
habits and modes of government.
When the Spaniards, under the con
queror Hernan Cortez, landed in Mex
ico, near Vera Cruz, and began the
march to the Aztec capital, the em
peror, Montezuma, sent several
messengers and spies to bring him
news of the mysterious strangers.
Among others sent was Ocelotl. or
the Tiger Prince, as he is known in
history and legend. Ocelotl was one
of the best Aztec artists, and the em
peror commissioned him to make
sketches of the invaders, so that he
might judge of them by their appear
ance. He was also to bring back a
detailed report of the strength of the
forces of the Spaniards, who were be
lieved to be the warriors of the Fair
God, who had come from the Land of
fhe Sun, as they were to do, according
1o an old and universally believed tra
dition.
Ocelotl brought back a complete re
port to the emperor, and gave it as
his opinion, from what he had seen
of the strangers, that it would require
ail the strength and cunning of the
Aztec empire to contend against them.
Montezuma was so angry at this un
favorable report that he ordered
Ocelotl to be publicly burned as a cow
ard who wished to frighten with child
ish tales the courage of his warriors,
who had until then been ever success
ful. Ocelotl. however, had many
friends at the court of the emperor,
and through their aid he succeeded in
escaping from prison and in getting to
the land of Tlaxcala, which was the
hereditary enemy of the Aztec em
pire.
Now there is a curious legend still
fold by the Amateeas to the effect
that Ocelotl stopped at Amatlan, on
his way back from Vera Cruz, and
that the people flocked about him
to hear what he hgd to say. Ocelotl
lold them of the fair faces of the
strangers, their garments, which
shone as bright as the sun itself; the
great beasts they rode, and how they
c-ame armed with the weapon of the
god of thundtr and lightning. The
people of Amatlan held a meeting in
the public square, and when the
chiefs had heard the story of Ocelotl
they decided that the newcomers
were indeed the warriors of the Em
peror of the Sun, and that there was,
therefore, no use whatever in, oppos
ing them. So they sent a message to
Cortez saying that they had decided
to become his friend.
There is another legend among the
Aztecs to the effect that the people
of Tlaxcala did not treat Ocelotl, the
tiger prince, well and that he soon
left their city and wandered south
until he came to Amatlan, where he
was warmly welcomed by the people.
He remained with them many years i
and became their chief, not their
king, for Amatlan had always been,
in its form of government, republic
an, and is still so to-day.
The people of Amatlan practically
govern themselves to-day without
any interference on the part of the
Mexican government. They pay their
federal taxes promptly, as they have
done for the past 300 years, under
one name or another, but there their
duties stop. They may be said to
constitute a little Aztec nation in the
heart of the Mexican republic. They
have their own hereditary chiefs
their own aristocracy in direct line
reaching back beyond the Spanish
conquest. They retain their own cus
toms. habits, manners of dress, ant
inodes of thought. They are nom
inally Catholics, but the ancient Az
tec mythology is largely mixed with
their x-eligious beliefs. They have
hundreds of charms which are sup
posed to be effective against certain
diseases, dangers, or accidents. And
there is a spirit of some kind con
nected with almost every charm
This spirit was, not so many years
ago, an Aztec god or demi-god. The
Amateca is therefore a most curious
combination of Christian and pagan,
civilized citizen and savage. He has
his own schools, but his teachers are
all Amateca Indians; he has his own
churches, but his priests are aisc
Amateeas.

A PEANUT FROLIC.
An Intereatlnie and AnmxliiK Game
for a Family Parly- on a
Winter’s Evening-.
When the invitations came, bidding
us to a peanut frolic, under the aus
pices of the “Round Robin Club,” we
wondered what there could possibly
be in plain, ordinary, everyday pea
nuts to keep a crowd of young folks
busy for one whole evening. But the
Round Robin club never gave any par
ty' that did not prove exceedingly
good fun, and we accepted as a mat
ter of course, by next mail, says a
contributor of the Cleveland Leader.
The affair proved to be one of the
joliiest of the season. The room was
kept in a constant state of excite
ment from the arrival to the de
parture of the company —-and it was
founded, every' bit of it, on peanuts.
First of all, as each guest entered
the room, he was shown a huge punch
bowl full of “goobers,” and asked
. to see how many of these he could
’ gather up in the right hand at one
j time without the assistance of the
i left. The nuts in each handful were
counted, and two prizes awarded. One
; to the lady' making the biggest catch, '
and a similar award to the gentleman
whose handful was largest among
those of the men. The prizes, little sil- j
ver articles for the desk, were pre
sented in yellow paper bags marked
) “Peanuts. Five Cents.”
To test the calculating powers of
the play'ers all nuts were then put back
I in the bowl. Pencils and paper were
distributed, and we were asked to
guess how many goobers the dish con
■ tained. When all had guessed the nuts
were counted by the floor manager.
The player who came nearest to the
correct number received a box of pea
, nut brittle.
Next on the programme came pea
nut dropping, n ynine which required
a deal of calculation and steady hands,
A tali vase having the neek just large
enough to admit a peanut was placed
in the center of the parlor carpet.
Each one present received three nuts.
These he endeavored to drop into the
vase. The rules of the game required
that the arm in dropping be held out
- straight from the shoulder, the player
regulating his position accordingly,
The player who was successful in land
ing most drops was given the vase into
which he had dropped them.
If such a thing is possible, the suc
ceeding feature wasyet more thrilling.
For this five peanuts were bestowed
' upon each of us, and at the word “go”
we commenced to shell them. The ob
ject was to shell the entire five be
fore any other player accomplished the
feat. The prize in this case was a
pretty silk bag suitable for carrying
i either tobacco or fancy work, accord
ing as fate awarded it to a man or a
woman. It came to the prize winner
- filled with peanuts. This contest was
governed by several rules. One of
these regulations decreed that every
person shelling a peanut must remove
the inner as well as the outer husk.
Also, that any' nut broken in shelling
into more pieces than nature arranged
for it did not disqualify the sheller
for the prize. He was obliged, how
. ever, to ask fOT another sound nut to
be shelled in place of the broken one.
Another good trick was played in
this way: A member of the entertain
ment committee arranged a chair at
each end of the room and placed upon
it five peanuts. Each member of the
company in turn was then required to
fake the peanuts one by one and lay
them upon the chair at the opposite
end of the apartment, bringing them
back in the same way. The player who
accomplished this in the shortest time
non a prize. We were allowed to
. throw the peanuts instead of carrying
them. But as any peanut thrown to a
chair and rolling off it robbed the
, player of his chance, few eared to try
this more rapid hut venturesome meth
, od. The carrier who proved best in
this contest received a paper cutter
. surmounted by the figure of a hare in
. silver, in appreciation of his celerity.
Peanut pin was another good game,
whose acquaintance we made for the
, first time that evening. A big pin was
placed, for this, upright in the parlor
carpet, and each of us received five pea
nuts. The nuts were pitched, one by
one. the particular nut which lodged
nearest to the pin carried off the
trophy, which proved to be a pretty
silver brooch.
For peanut tread, another jolly idea,
the little nuts were strewn over the
' j carpet and each player in turn crossed
the carpet, endeavoring to avoid step
ping upon any of the shells. A prize
was awarded to the person who accom
plished the crossing in shortest time.
This took the form of a well-written
book giving the history of various “re
markable feats.”
Tn the last game, and a very laugh
able one it was, we drew lots, and the
player to whom the blank fell took up
his position at one end of the room.
Here he was obliged to stand with open
mouth while each of us tried to throw
Into the facial aperture a shelled pea
nut. The player who failed to lodge
his nut was promptly made target.
The sport continued, recruited in this
way, for ten or fifteen minutes.
Cnpid’x Effective Darts.
Once upon a time Cupid called on
Vulcan.
“Friend Vulcan,” he said, “things
have been a little slow with me of late
and I have been missing lots of marks.
I want you to make me a new lot of
darts and tips each one of them with
gold.”
Several days afterward Mercury ap
peared in a great hurry before Vul
;an with this note from Cupid:
“Dear Vulcan—Those last darts
didn’t miss once. Make me 10,000 gross I
more gold-tipped ones at once. I am i
doing the greatest work of my life.”

WHY PEOPLE SNORE.
A Solentiilc Explanation and a Simple
Remedy Given by a Phy
sician.
The snore of the heavy sleeper ap
pears at last to be receiving the con
sideration from wakeful sufferers that
the heinousness of the offense merits.
It may not be popularly known that
snoring is merely the vibration of the
velum pendulum palati, but it is no
less a matter of interest to a great
many people who either snore them
selves or are annoyed by snorers, says
the New York Sun.
A well-known physician was asked
the other day why people snore.
“Because they don’t shut their
mouths,” he said.
“What is snoring?”
“Well, it’s common enough.” said he;
and in an off-hand fashion he explained
that snoring is a noise made in the pos
terior part of the mouth and nasal
fossae during the moments of inspira
tion.
It is due to a relaxatian of the leva
tor palati moilis and the circumflexus
paiati in sleep, by which the velum pen
dulum palati is left free to vibrate or
jflap in the two currents of air which
i enter at the same time through the
nostrils and the mouth.
Besides the vibration of the velum
| pendulum palati, or soft palate, there
is also a vibration of the column of air
: Iteself. Thus is produced the rasping,
I snrvting noise so well known and so
unpleasant to everyone within earshot,
of the placid snorer.
The doctor was asked what enused
snoring.
“When a man is fatigued.” he said,
“and his self-control is unusually re
laxed in sleep, he is apt to let his lower
jaw drop down. No man was ever seen
or heard to snore with his mouth shut.
The moral is obvious.
“The soft palate flaps like a sheet
is the wind, and the near neighbors of
The snorting sleeper are correspond
ingly disturbed. Now, the Indians
never snore. They think it disgrace.
“An Indian believes that if he snores
when he Is young he w|l) grow up to
bo even less handsome at maturity
than nature originally Intended. Ills
vanity, therefore, is enough to make
a savage sleep in a proper position.”
Another well-known physician up
town. whose practice has been largely
in cases of affections of the respira
tory system, was asked whether snor
ing Is a disease,
“Not so much a disease as a bad hab
it.” he said; “but I am frequently
called upon to prescribe for its cure.”
“Can it be cured?”
"Easily.”
“Why do elderly or corpulent peo
ple commonly snore?”
“Because their systems are gener
ally more relaxed in sleep, and their
months then fall open. Anyope will bp
likely to snore if he sleeps with his
mouth open, and nq pne will if he
shuts it.”
“How can the habit be cured?”
“First, you must give a person a
chance to breathe through the nose,
and then make him do so. If there is
rnv obstruction in the nasal passage
that must be removed by treatment.
Then if the snorer can't keep his
mouth shut, by force of will, his jaw
must be tied up.
“A harness for the lower jaw Is
aometimes employed in bad eases of
snoring. A skull cap worn upon the
head serves to hold a system of straps
under the chin and keep the mouth
shut until the patient can form a habit
of sleeping on his side, or with his
head sufficiently elevated to hold his
jaw.”-
“Ts it an easy matter to hold one's
jaw when asleep?”
“Hardly more difficult than when
awake.”
“Wh.V is snoring, then, so common if
it Is so easily cured?"
“Because catarrhal troubles nre no
common, which prevents free inspira
tion through the nostrils. In sleeping
enrs and in hotels one frequently hears
the rpsonant snore, because people In
those places usually go to sleep tired
out. An old doctor used to advocate
sleeping on the face to guard against,
the possibility of snoring.”
After all, snorers are more to be
pitied than censured. They mean no ;
harm to any waking mortal.

Warning Against Small-Pox.
The Maryland State Board of
Health has issued the followirg
circular letter, addressed to local
health officers, concerning precau
tions against the dreaded disease:
The danger of extensive invasion
of Maryland by smallpox is in
creasing. Advices from all direc
tions show that the disease gen
erally is epidemic in the United
States. Onr exemption up to the
present time is very g'atifying,
and we think may fairly be ascrib
ed to vigilance and prompt action
along the line.
Now success in controlling small
pox depends upon thorough prep
aration before its advent, and
speedy handling of the initial cases.
Byway of preparation nothing is
so effective as thorough vaccination
and re-vaccination. We believe
that in this respect most of the
local jurisdictions are in a state of
good defense. Every local health
ollicer should make as sure as pos
sible that his community is well
advised and repeatedly warned that
exposure to smallpox is a very
delinite danger which all the citi
zeus may anticipate, particularly
those who live along the railroad
lines and at the borders of the
State.
For the speed and effectiveness
of your operations in case small
pox should appear in your juris
diction, you must depend primarily
upon a wideawake medical profes
sion. It may be a good plan to
advise the medical men of your
vicinity that in the United States
there are noiv about four times as
many cases of smallpox as there
were a year ago. The Maryland
physician on the Eastern Shore is
about eight times as likely to see
smallpox this year as last year,
along the northern boundary he
has about live chances for one last
year, along the western boundary
about the same chance, and from
the southward our exposure is
probably less than last year.
We wish very much that the
great epidemic year, 1902, may
pass with as little or less injury
than we have sustained in the past
three years, and if we all pull to
gether we can get that result. It
will mean keeping eyes and ears
open all the time for the next
eight mouths.
