Mow a Famous Railway Station In tho Mouth went Ixok A Place Where a Qneer Mixture of Humanity May He Dally Seen A Passing Glance. One of the famous eating houses of the Atchison road is situated at Wallace, where the train going south storm late in the afternoon. As the cars draw up at j the station the long platform ia thronged with the people of thecountry. of diverse races. Rough miners in flannel and heavy hoots stand watching the train; cowboys, set off by sombreros and spurs, swagger about the platform, and Spanish-Americana, with swarthy faces and gleaming black eyes, lounge against the railings, looking impassively on the scene. Most picturesque of all there gathered are the descendants of the tribes akin to the Toltecs and Aztecs, those migrating people, whose first home ' was in the northwest before they went south to colonize the valleys of the Mex ican plateau the Pueblo Indiana from Santo Domingo and San Filipe. They are quaintly clad in their charac teristic garb of leggins and tunic, with a blanket dress for the women, and some times for the men a gaudy blanket wrap ped about the body. Some are awaiting the train on the station plaftorm, and others, belated, are seen running toward the cars, bearing on their heads and backs the things they have to trade. They exhibit a great variety of pottery. in the shape of vessels of divers sizes form and patterns of decoration, and many earthen idols of infinite ugliness. They offer for sale pieces of what the New Mexican curiosity dealers call smoky topaz, which in reality ia obsidian or volcanic glass, the material used by tne ancieni Aztecs tor cutting purposes, trom swords down to razors. MANY NATIONALITIES. About the train is a characteristic col lection of passengers. There are tour ists, Euroiean and American commer ciai travelers, young men from the east going to the southwest to try their fort unes, and perhaps in the rear cars some families of emigrants. Representing the territory are merchants, miners and cat tlemen of American and Spanish-Ameri can descent, while opposite the blonde eastern lady, in her daintv traveling , . habit, may sit a dark eyed olive tinted beauty with the blood of Aragon or Cas tile in her veins, and perhaps a darker and not unbecoming tinge from Indian .. . ..a. rr t it i aucesiry. i raveling tneamcal com panies, army officers and private soldiers on leave or on duty, and Indian delega lions going on or returning trom a visit to the great father at Washington, are current tj-pes in a southwest passenger train. Almost without exception the passen gers are aftable and disposed to conver sa tion. Stiffness and reserve among f el low passengers by stage or by rail vanish west of the hundredth meridian There is an excellent dinner, plentiful and well served, at the pleasant and roomy railroad restaurant, with so much tune allowed for the stay that the tr.-iveler, after his ample and leisurely meal, is able to walk about in this bar barously brilliant scene and make bar gains with the brovfti and worldly wise sons and daughters of the country for siich of their wares as he fancies. The Pueblo Indians hasten toward any one whose eye they inay catch, hold up their goods, and address him in a language mainly aboriginal, with perhaps a few pamsn ana American words inter mingled, but the only part of the dis course really understood on either side is the extemporized sign language 1 hey ask several prices, expecting to be beaten down to a fair rate, and they seldom will let the possible customer get away without consummating a trade. Demure, swarthv Pueblo children look on the transactions of their elders with great interest, the larger girls helping their mothers by carrying the very young children in a couch made by slinging a shawl about their necks. INDIAN POTTERY. 1 lie Indian pottery is the ware most purchased by the passengers. It is quaint of pattern, and in its way much of it is really beautiful. The material of which it is made is a white or graj-ish tinted clay, which the men bring to the women, who are the pottery makers. The Indians guard jealously the secret of the places where are found the earth that makes the choicest kinds. The hunter, prospector or railroad explorer coming suddenly ujKn these natives en gaged in digging clay for the purpose is likely to remember the terror and con sternation which they exhibit. The molded pottery is buried in dry sheep's dung, which is fired, and thus it is baked. The material used in making the striped designs is a decoction from a certain green root which the Indians call wake. It is painted upon the ves sel.'', and in the baking it turns black. The best pottery is made by the Acoiiw, Zuni and Cochiti Indians.

Housekeeper's Weekly. Artite it Good !-lor. When the health is fairly good, and there is no spt.-cial strain to be put upon the system, the normal appetite may be trusted to indicate the kind and quantity of fxxl necessary to maintain that (5on- onion. aiuraiiy tne appetite varies with the changing seasons, and unless it indicates an unreasonable extreme of in dulgence or abstinence no attention need i.e paid to any other nio.-iii.or. Much harm is done by injudicious or meddlesome friends suggesting that a person is too stout or too thin, too pal? vr too ruddy, and serious disturbance if the system often follow the mischiev ous advice to take some bitters or pills, or refrain from fattening food or drink. Paying attention to any of these fads is like playing with fire. If you are ill enough to seeui to warrant any radical change of diet or any application o! me liciue, consult your physician at or.ee. Above all, avoid quack medicines. To use the opinion of a successful dealer in them, whose bank balance is more liberal th.m his conscience, they are "made to sell." Harper's Bazar. Claewiug. "On which side of your mouth do you chewy 'What a question!" Well, there is much difference be tween the masticating methods of teo ple. It is quite an interesting study too. To me. in the restaurant business, I have a host of subjects before me every day. I think that a long and close experience with men will support the conclusion th;:t most people in.-isticate with the teeth on the left side of the jaw. A few peo ple chew on the right side; most, how i ver, on the left. How do I explain it? Oli. it is partly habit, partly the result of necessity, broken or defective teeth, -te. Next time you sit down to table vi.halarge party just notice the vari ous and distinct ways in which the peo ple present chew. It will surprise you. N t only do some chew out loud, but well, judge for yourself." Interview in Detroit Free Press. Btea Catok Always ea Time. 'Ono of the things to which I did not at once become accustomed in my man cooks," said a housekeeper who has lately attached a chef to her establishment, "is his forehandednesa.

I could see at once that my presence was deemed an imTtinenee. but I forgot to resent this in my horror at the condition of af fairs. The dinner was set for 8 o'clock. and it w:vs then Ix-tween 5 and C: as far as 1 could see. however, it might have been sent to the table at that moment. A saddle of Canada mutton was the piece de resistance, and this Pierre was draw ing from the oven for what appeared to tne a final basting. 'Vegetables that took twenty minutes, .is 1 supposed, to cook were gayly bub liiing on the range, an entree was ready To be put together, and the cook was ap parently about to jerforin that act: ices were made and standing in the L.'.in-iuarie: the fish kettle was on, and 1 ".isp -rii-d it contained the fish appar ently the dinner was ready and spoiled. '1 ventured a remark. "You under-it-sn 1. Pierre.' I said, 'we dine at 8.' 'Oa. yes, madaine. he answered. Then, as if he were willing to tolerate thi-i o.ie interference: 'Madame need have no fear. Everything will Ihj ready at the instant. '1 thought it might lx and withdrew, fairly sic!; with anxiety over what seemed to me a hoeles3 failure. That .U:iner, hovever, was perfection, every di--.li apparently served at tho moment of its prime. And since then I have trusted Pierre and haven't gone downstairs to be distressed by his promptness." ller Point of View m New York Times.

Tell me not of your doubts and dis couragements." said Goethe; "I have plenty of my own. But talk to me of your hope and faith." The tone of com plaint is one which we are all too ready to accept, and which is not only in jurious to ourselves but hurtful to all who come in contact with us. In speak in of a young woman who hail filled several good positions, but with no de gree of success, an elder woman said: She could have kept either position and earned a good income if she had not been so dissatisfied. She was continu ally finding fault, and never felt that she was appreciated." It may be safely said that this attitude of inind is one that almost predetermines failure in any line of work. Patience under adverse circumstances will often bring about favorable results, while complaint only accentuates and fixes the cause of complaint. Avoid mention of the disagreeable things that may come into your life. If you cannot be patient you can at least be silent. The secret of success lies not so much in knowing what to say as in what to avoid saying Boston Traveller. Caetocia is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted.

A father was seeing his son off on the cars for some distant point. There was a moment of quiet conversation between the two. perhaps a few words of such ad vice as a father should give a son, and then the train came thundering into tlu station. As the latter, a tail fellow, well along in his "teens," stepped on the platform, he extended his hand and his lips to his father. There was a gentle kiss of fare well, and the two separated. There was no gush, no nonsense, no affectation; just the expression of fatherly tenderness that had followed that sou since he lay in the cradle. s there any danger of that boy stray ing from the path affectionately pointed out by his father? Or is there any danger of that father ever having to excuse that son because he is "sowing wild oats?" We think not The gentle power of a mother's kiss has been sung by poets, but is there not also a wealth of tenderness and a lasting memory for good in the kiss of a fatheri Hartford Post.

The conductor's cry rings out, "All aboard!" and the laggards enter fie cars: but even as the train moves slowly off the passengers are still making last bargains from the car platforms and through the windows with the aborig ines, who at the fast approaching dis appearance of their possible customers are disposed at the last moment to close bargains at almost any price. The train gathers headway, the last Indian vender is passed audoon the platform with its eemi-barbaric, party colored assemblage is left behind, and the passengers Lave turned from the strange and striking scene to gaze at the panorama of the river and the Indian villages against a mountain background on the right, as the. train speeds southward down tho sandy valley of the Rio Grande toward Albuquerque.

Of all her cunoua customs London cannot boast of a mora singular ono than that formerly so strictly adhered to at Holland house, one of the most historic old mansions in the British capital. The bust of the Lords Holland shot himself during a fit of despondency; everything pointed to a clear case of self murder yet tho Holland family could never be dissuaded from the notion that the old man had beeu murdered by some tin known assassin. Accordingly, every night for years it was the custom for one of the f.imilyto go to the rear of the house punctually at 11 o'clock and fire n gun, for the purpose, it is said, of -scaring the conscience" of the murderer This curious practice is a relic of meui ajval days in continental Europe, and the case to point is probablv te oIv instance wheiv it has been noticed since the days of the Crusades.
