Tlm territory over which the trlho roams Is lictwcen the Itlo (iraiide ami Colorado rivers, nnd along the valleys of the (Ilia ami Titnl In weitcrn New Mexico and Arl .(ilia. 'I'lie Navajos lend 11 nnmndlo life, I, ill at periods stop to how and cultivate cropsofnialc, Is-ans, pumpkins, etc. When I hi harvest Is over they inovo 011 to neck new scenes, Many are rich, and have Hocks ami herds that would grnco the ranches of while cat tle and sheep liarons, while the thousands of handsome horses owned hy the nils' are the admliatlou of every visitor. To pur chase an animal, however, necessitates close bargaining, for the Navajos will al low no one to cheat them If sharp dealing can prevent It. They differ widely In appearance from the typical savage of the prairie. They are lull, well formed, erect, nml have clear nihil complexions. Tliclr hearing Is easy and graceful, and they dress with comfort A party of them visited hy the writer had apparel that was actually handsome. The women wort skirts that came below the knees, while the men had long frocks made of some bright material, buckskin knee breeches and woolen stockings. In the woolen goods the mosi brilliant colors wero used, and I lie effect was most strik ing. The women have all their white sis- lets' love for llncry, and feathers dipped In strong dyes manufactured hy them orna mented their heads and scarfs. The men had helmet shaped lulls similarly adorned, and pre cuted the appearance of veritable stage warriors. The ohl Ahrahamle form of government exists among the Navajos, The wealthi est men arc chiefs, and have retainers, re sembling the servitors of the feudal lords. I'liu chiefs confer at times ami decide what shall he done with the tribe's possessions, Thn Navajos will no more touch or eat a hog than will 11 .lew. It Is estimated that they have now 011 their ranges il,lKN),UH) sheep and tSl.OUO hordes, U'shlcs largo herds of cattle. As there are less Hum KI.IHHI of the raci! the wealth Is quite tvpoetnhlo. They add to It constantly hy the sale of the famous Navajo blankets, which all tlm skill of tin white man has not Wen able to duplicate. They art! so lluely woven that water can he carried In them without leaking, and the d)cs am of such a permit uetit and brilliant iuallty that they sut pass all others known, Tim dyes am made and the blankets woven hy t lie women of the tribe on peculiar looms of their own devising, These show great mechanical skill. They consist of three or four horizon tal poles tied to saplings or upright stand arils, while straight, slender strips of wood or lent hern thongs reach to the ground. The weaver squats before the loom and titles her shuttle to and fro, around and between the strips, forming the warp and woof of the blanket. The d cs are made, from certain plants and earth deposits known only to the trllie. The Navajos are, however, true Indians as reganls treatment of their enemies. They have 110 friendship with any other trlls, and wnr upon the ahorli:iue.H of tho southwest constantly. Once, when they were fighting the Pueblos, they called a peace council, and having gathered all the I'ueblo chiefs In a canyon, fell upon them .mil attempted to massacre the whole party. The nlmblcncss of tho Intended victims, who scaled the sides of the canyon and escaped, f rust rated the design. The Navajos are not experts with bow, arrow or rille, their favorite weapon lelng tho spear, which they throw with great force and skill. They are line horsemen, and the young men are fond of athletic sports. Like tho old Greeks, they have C Tfc.V. a tv.M fun -i fir. srmiT la:i. innuat com sts in wrestling, running, etc Those am held every spring at tho full moon, uml the participators gather from all sift Ions of tho country over which thn tribe roams. No prizes are given, it lieing considered that the namo of Ising tho winner Is reward enough. All manner of odd superstitions run rifo In their untutored minds. Tliclr prophets pretend to receive from an old woman In the skies communications which am given to tho people with great ceremony, head 'todies are their especial abhorrence, and every article of apparel which a departed one possessed is destroyed If possible. Re cently, in company with some army offi cers, tho writer saw ono of their funerals. It was an event to lie rcmcmlR'rcd. Following a guide wo went across a piece of valley woodland, and reached a pleasant opening just as tho cortege entered It on the other sido. Tho body was wrapped In costly blankets, and rested nu poles also covered with blankets. Depositing their burden on tho cut branches of trees the men took turns at digging 11 grave. When it was done the body, blankets and all, was lowered, and the mourners set up 1 quarter hour's howling and walling. Next they placed In tho grave the unities It was f AFT J I MH m'iiwi n.i. m-i Indian wouhinocdi.. MH ,,w. minim,; gnmnus, inciuiiiug 11 spear, part of 11 loom, some dyes, his hel met and moccasins, alter which tlm grave was llllcil up. Then a pure while pony was brought out of tho woods. Huns and arrows were pointed at his heart, and tho next Instant he lay dead across the new made mound, where he was left for the future useof the departed chief. Finally one of tho leading Indians made a division of the dead man's propel ty. Woman holds an exalted place among tlm Ninajos, They Ih'IIcvo that a woman places the sun In the heavens each morn lug, while the stars are sprlukhd upon the great blanket of the sky hy a woman's hand. In strange variance with this Idea Is tho out! that the moon Is carried on thn hack of a burro, or mule, tlm long ears of which the uicdliin men pretend to I hi nhle to descry. Their ceremonies are most Interesting, That of moving Is mm religiously ol served. The medicine mail takes from the chief camp lire a burning brand, which Is carried ahead nf tho travelers until a halt Is called. .Should the brand Ini extlu gulshcd they return to the original camp, wheie they remain until Hie following day. When a long Journey Is to be made the imillclui! men hide wicks saturated with oil In the brands, ami so present' tho lire. I In marriage the woman Is, so to speak, ! the best man. The, acceptance of a pony I tied outside tlm squaw's wigwam Is a be trothal, and at, the wedding (he bride and I groom sll 011 opposite sides of a waterproof basket llllcil with food, of which they par-1 take In the presence or the assemhlcii re lations. Ilythls act they am made man and wife. Tim marriage relation is not very strictly observed, though only one legal husband or wife can he had. Conversations with travelers who hnve inadii a study of tlm Navajos' traditions lean 10 inn niiiuiusiiiii wim iney urn II nrancn 01 ine vpacui! lamiiy, nut. am mom clvilied through having held the inter mountain plains for so many centuries. Old Mvxicau and Spanish nuthorltlcf cll them tho Navajo Apaches, and them Is' certainly u slight similarity in the Ian guage. It Is, however, dllllcult to account! for tliclr skill In mnniifm Hiring ami love' of pastoral pursuits. They themselves 1m lleve that they sprang from tho water which lies 11 long distance north of their1 present homo, and that at death they will return there. Their worship is different from that of any tribe In the west. It consists of In cantations and solemn addresses to the sun and moon, while tho high mountains have an nwo Inspiring power. Above the snow lino they do not go, as there Is to them something mysterious In tho whiteness that exists even when the plains below am burning with lieat. The mirage, which In the hot and dry air of Ari.ouaisso com mon, Is to them a vision of the future lands of bliss. The lakes anil green trees wllh which the wonderful refractions always A I'tlOPOSAI. OP MAItlllAUK. -i abound are taken as promises of what the ('rent Spirit will give them in tho tradi tionary northern paradise when their la bors am over. They am a most warlike people, and have in the past given tho United State government much trouble. They are too sli rewd to Indulge In ghost dance nonsense, but their frequent raids on New Mexican hcttlers have made their name a terror. In 1870 Uncle Sam had to send some troops to punish them for tho murder of a number of people near Fort Dcllaucc. Six or eight expeditious have been sent out at other times to Arizona, and have succeeded In dentroy lug thousands of sheep and cattle, as well us crops, reducing portions of the trilsi to the verge of starvation. Ketalia t Ion has iieeu made by the nomads upon tlio settlers when the troops were with drawn; but one thing is to bu said In their favor they never Hcalp their dead foes. Of latu years 11 treaty has Ih'oii in forc which has proved valuable, as the Nava Jos are careful to keep their promises Hut tho territory over which they roam ii considered too largo for their numbers, hence tho government Is endeavoring to ro strict them still further. ClIAItLKS MoilKAU HAltOKIL Wants thft Ohl O Ulcers llxtlred. The recommendation of Secretary Trncj that provision Imj made for retiring naval o libers when they reach a certain ago Is at tracting general attention, Tlio secretary points out that under tho present rules thu day Is not far distant when the whole grade of lieutenants will bo composed ot men between tho ages of thlrty-soven nnd fifty-four. They, of course, will have only subordinate responsibility, although in the prime of physical and intellectual vigor, while their superiors will bo persons far advanced toward old ago.

How 11 Sliouler for n Side .Show Aimiseil llliiMcir In the I'l.nliilllce. 1 In a Id' irlous mood a tall man with a1 theatric makeup entered the poHtolllco. ! It was inrly morning nml the corridors I wcru almost, deserted. As hu slowly passed, th-ougli the building 011 Hie ground lloor lie gave evidence that ho was or had lieen n shunter for tlm side show of a circus. There was mischief In his eye as ho glanced toward a window behind which a ' clerk sat. ' "In this cage," ho exclaimed In deep, 1 sonorous tones, as If addressing an audience of curious and expectant people, I "you will Hud that melancholy licast thu laughing h) ena. This animal roams about , the prairies In the night, and there ho! laughs and laughs and laughs, but what on earth ho Is laughing at iioboilylms Is-cn able to Hud out. "Pass along, lutsHnlong, but do not press against tho ropes, You have ample time to view all the curiosities before the great show begins." Scores of clerks, attracted by the un usual noise, hurried to the little windows and poked out their heads. This pleas.-d thn tall man Immensely and ho laughed Immoderately. "In the next cage," resumed tho orator I ns) liu proceeded on Ids way, "Is tlm farl famed Rocky .Mountain goat, which leaps from peak to peak ami skips from crag to crag, ever and anon uttering that plaintive cry, Mlaat haul'" Vlien another heail wits thrust out of an opening, andthutall man, with aswcepliiB wave of the hand said, "Thank you, sir, that will do." "In tho next cage," continued tho mirth ful man, "you will perceive the gigantic rocodlldo, who, when ho eats, e.its seven teen tlllTcrcut kinds of food, always con eluding his repast hy devouring a Imlo of my Thank you, thank v 011, sir; you am be having nicely, nicely. "Pass along, p-issalong, ladles and gents; but hear In mind and remember you h-ivo aniple, ampin tlino to seo all tho curiosities U'fore tlio show In tho great pavilion opens." Gradually tho tall humorist made his way around tho corridors, Ids voice losing none of Its voliimoor strength. .Meanwhile the commotion In the postolllcoilemrtment I was Increasing, l-.very winnow was occu-1 pled by 0110 or mom clerks, with bulging eyes and necks craned to catch a glimpse . of tho daring, practical Joker. Everybody! had 11 chaiicutosco him, for Ik? did uotdeuy 1 lilmself to anylssly. This is what one j groun heard as ho cutun Into view: "In thu next cage am the mighty boa constrictors, whoso hi to Is worse than death uml whose strength is crushing.

Twice a year these snakes shed their skins, Thoy feed llxn birds, frogs and guinea pigs." Hy that time tho loungers in tho build , lug wero enjoying tho sport highly, but how tho clerks felt Is not known. As tho stranger iieiircd tho last door at , the upper end of tlio Hroadway side ho turned towanl another "cage" and ex claimed: "In the next cage you will sue Old Tom feeding the Polar hear his dally meal of broken Ice. Tills Ico Is expressly Imported by us from thu arctic regions at enormous expense and" At that moment tho watchman made, his presencu known, and the Joker was forced to cease Joking; but us he wont out of tho door he 1 1 red this shot, which wasev: lently intended to hit t lie watchman: "Little Jocko will now ascend thu ladder, turning n complete somersault at each and every round." Then tho swinging doors closed buhl ml htm -slid ho was lost to view Now York Herali. Wliut to Do.
