RELICS OF ANTIQUITY.
A St. Paul Archaeologist's Collection .at
Carious Specimen. Gathered Dnli a
Tear's Tour In the Northwest aad South
west.
Mr. T. H. Lewis, a St. Paul archaeol
ogist, has lately returned from a tour
of exploration of almost a year, and
he brings with him some rare and valu
able specimens obtained from the an
cient mounds that are scattered about
in almost every1 section of the South
west and Northwest Undoubtedly he
has now the largest and most valu
able private archaeological collection
in the Northwest, and the reports of
his season's . work are regarded as
most valuable contributions to scien
tific -records and history. Mr. Lewis
has surveyed 1,250 mounds during the
past year 125 of which were effigies
and eight or nine fortified points and
forts. His travels embraced explora
tions in Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa, Wis
consin, Illinois and Arkansas. He
brings .back with him, as the result
df histour, a large collection of draw
ings of effigias and curious relics of
the days of the mound builders. In
the line "of effigies he discovered' a
mound in Southeastern Minnesota, the
outlines representing the form of a fish.
The few fish effigies that have been de
scribed by explorers heretofore have
never shown the fins; but Mr. Lewis'
discovery has the fins very accurately
marked, being the first ever noted by
archaeologists. vIts extreme length is
109 1-2 feet, the greatest width 36 feet,
from end to end of iins. Mr. Lewis
considers this one of the most interest
ing and valuable effigies ever discov
ered. Another one represents a frog
the only perfect specimen ever de
scribed. It is 98 feet in length, 94 feet
in width between the tips of the fore
legs and 95 feet between th6 tips of the
hind legs. The body of the largest bird
effigy is 28 feet from beak to the end of
the tail, and 121 feet from tip to tip of
the wings. Another of a bird is the
most symmetrical of any surveyed, the
length from the tail to the tips of the
wings being exactly thejsame. A draw?
ingof a rattlesnake effigy, foundonLake
St. Croix, in Minnesota, shows a length
of 448 feet, the section of the mound
representing the head swelling out to a
width ot fifty-three feet. Three mounds
at the rear eud denoto that number of
rattles. The effigy w very well de
veloped to show the natural propor
tions of a snake. Another interesting
and striking effigv was found a short
distance west of St. Paul. It is a group
of five mounds, bearing the appear
ance of large birds in motion in the air,
with wings extended and necks
stretched forward. Three of them are
directly in line as geese fly one a
little to the left, and the other a little
in advance, bearing off to the right.
Mr. Lewis saj's that it is one of the
best and most natural effigies he has
ever discovered or seen described. The
shape of the mounds is different from
any that have ever before been dis
covered in the way of bird effigies. The
Highest point is near the upper portion
of the wing, the slope of the wings
being proportioned so as to show which
way the long feathers run. These de
'scribed aro only the more striking ones
of the 125 effigies surveyed. -
In the matter of aiclueological relics
dug from the mounds mostly "by Mr.
Lewis himseif there is a collection
that to enumerate each object would
require a column of space. The curi
ous specimens embrace a wide variety
of drinking vessels, bowls, dishes,
plates, dippers, agricultural imple
ments, pipes, shell beads, axes, arrow
heads and chisels, made of different
materials, clay, mu-sol shell, stone and
copper having been principally used.
The Minnesota collection was secured
principally in the southeastern part of
tbe State. There is a large drinking
vessel, basket-shaped, the handle set
ting off from the vessel four or five
inches. The only opening is a small
aperture on the top of the handle.
Another drinkingyessel is painted a
deep, glossy red, the color being well
preserved, except on the handle, where
it cwas evidentrv worn off by usage.
This is polished very nicely, and evi
dently belonged to a nabob's outfit. It
'stands upright, the handle being much
smaller than the bowl. Another vessel,
similarly constructed, is painted intwo
colors, red and yellow, there being ten
stripes of each color on the bowl and
four of each ou the neck. Irregular,
wavy lines of color ornament another.
Still another drinking vessel has ten
double circles panted on the bowl,
with crosses in the center, and three
double circles, with crosses in the center,-
on the upright neck. Evidently
these were intended as evidences of ex
traordinary artistic talent A round,
open-topped vessel has handles mod
eled to represent a woman's face and
head; inside the hollow head are sub
stances of some character which rattle
when the vessel is shaken. There i3 a
large circular dish, with a grooved top,
fashioned something after our modern
models; several forms of plates, also of
modern design; several oval-shaped,
open top cooking vessels in which to
heat water, the handles being repre
sentations of beaver, duck and owl
heads. One co.kn; ve-sel has three
short legs attached to its bottom; a
dipper has a hardle modeled after a
beaver's tail; another a long, strong,
thick handle; there are no two
dippers that arc similar in de
sign, showing a raga for something
new and novel amjng the people of
that time. One water vessel and a cup
suow eviuuncus oi luuuurn construction
the former having a perforated base
and the latter having a regular chimb
around the bottom. A .hood-top drink
ing vessel the neck running up and
being fashioned after the head of a
hooded woman is a curiosity. The
only opening is under the front of the
hood, where the face should be. All
these described are made from clay and
pulverized mussel shells. There aro
also specimens of agricultural imple
ments hoes, spades, etc. boine made
of chert (a spee'es of llint), others of
the shoulder blade of the buffalo; the
latter are highly pol.shed. There are
also a number of discoida stones (round
stones, having the form of a disk), celts
(shaped like small tomahawks, and
supposed to have been used for skinning
animals); clay pots, n'ccly ornamented
with lines and dots; copper axes (one
weighing one and a half pounds), arrow
anu spear heads, stone axes, lead ore i
nd shell beads. . stone paddle, four
teen inches long, Mr. Lewis says is the
largest ever found in tho" United,
States, the greatest length heretofore:
noted being six and a half inches. Mr.
Lewis also has four two-handled clay j
pots, there having been 011I3 one more
found in Minnesota of which a record
is known. Copper chisels, ceremonial
pipes, pestles, stono hammers and doz
ens of other rolici go to complete tho;
collection. One htrjre two-handled'
cooking pot made of clay and mussel'
shells deserves special mention, it,
was found in Northeastern Iowa, which
is considered pretty far north for such
a ' specimen. Its symmetry is perfect
the sides being fluted and ornamented
with diagonal lines. The diameter
across the top is 13 1-2 inches; across,
the center, 18 inches; depth, IS iachas.
This was probably used as' a wash tub'
4r punch bowl or likely both. Mr.
Lewis stirts out again in a short time
for another southern tour. If Minne
sota should ever construct a suitable
Are-proot building, it is the intention of
ttke gentleman to present the State witk
' magnificent archaeological collection.

-A clerk in Indianapolis was arrested
IN THE JURY BOX

UarlttMfJaran.
Perhaps there is no time in the life of
an active business man when he is mora
tempted to rave at his clerks, stamp
witk rage, and utter corses load and
deep, than at the moment he mas vp
against a little piece of paper properly
signed and countersigned and endorsed
"Jury summons." The unfortunate re
cipient of this unwelcome insignia of
citisemshn grasps his kaf7 rushes wildljT
from ms omce, mases ou way rsptuijr
over to the Court House and stalks de-
jectedlyinto the court room where the
summons in peremptory terms an
nounces -kis presence as being "re
quired." He is somewhat consoled
when he espies his friend, and his busi
ness competitor C. both of whom, as
he rightly condudes,3rejfor the ofJce
kis brothers in misfortune. " "
Scattered about the court room are
perhaps fifty men of' various nationali
ties and ages. They are all jurors in
embryo, and are waiting for the Judge
to open the court When His Honor
appears and takes his seat on the bench
thirty-five out of the fifty men get in a
row, filing Indian fashion up to and
from the judicial bench, whisper all
sorts of excuses and touching stories of
domestic affliction and financial peril
into the sympathizing judicial right ear.
1 It is plain to be seen that -each one of
the thirty-five is arefully considering
kow he can best attain the object which
they all seek viz., immunity from the
jury box. .Many of the excuses are
frivolous, some are legitimate and not a
few are palpably '.'trumped up."
Sometimes a juror is excused upon nis
mere statement of fact but as a rule
they are sworn to answer such questions
as shall be put to thorn by the judge
touching their rightrto be excused. The
judicial examiner probes the anxious
applicant sternly. .
Once bound down to the jury box the
juror becomes the type of a class. He
is no longer a broker, a merchant a
bank president or a saloon keeper. His
natural identity is lost and he is part
and parcel of tbe machinery of justice.
To be sure, he eats and sleeps like other
men, but then he thinks and acts only
like a juror. His status is not- firmly
established, however, until ho begins to
develop a peculiarity. This done, he
becomes an object of interest especially
to the lawyers.
The characteristics of jurors are dis
tinctly marked. If frequently happens
that the same persons sit as jurors from
term to term. Whether because they
like it have nothing else to do or sit for
pay, or whether it so happens that they
are "drawn" with malice aforethought
it is hard to tell. But somehow or other
lawyers are getting to know the jurors.
They aro able to lean over to their
clients in the court room
and describe the peculiarities of each
one of them. The foreman is recog
nized as a auodel juror for a good case,
but too sound for a poor one. The
second juror is the proverbially obsti
nate specimen who invariably insists that
he is right and tho other eleven are pig
headed fools. He is a first rate man to
have in the box if a disagreement is
wanted. The third is marked down as
always having a leaning toward the
plaintiff's side of the case, while the
fourth is known as an easy-going,
"happy go lucky" sort of an individ
ual, ready to go with whichever one the
"other fellows" favor. Number five is
the inquisitive juror. Ho is always
asking questions of the witness about
matters which the lawyers have kept
carefully in tho background. His
brethren in the box respect him, but
the lawyers regard him as an irritating
thorn. Number six is much given to
argument and contention. He is al
ways ready for a fight in the jury room.
and, being somewhat "gun," is gen
erally able to hold his own.
Seven is an unknown quantity. He is
possessed of a great veneration for ju
dicial learning and discernment and
goes with the judge, if the judge inad
vertently exhibits a bias. Eight is re
markable for nothing except it be a
fondness for the newspapers. He will
peruse his. favorite paper regardless
alike of the most startling testimony
and the flowery eloquence of counsel.
Number nine is attentive, conscientious
and analytical. He weighs the evidence
on both sides, scrawls all day in his
note-book and votes according to his
convictions. He is looked'upon with
suspicion, and is frequently challenged.
Ten is the silent juror. He watches the
proceedings'with expressionless counte
nance, is unfathomable, and therefore
dangerous. Eleven, on the contrary, is
as open as the sky. He sides with his
favorite lawyer, and is always ready to
laugh when that legal luminary make3
a good hit He can lxs counted upon
as prejudicial for one side or the other
long before the trial is finished.
Number twelve is the last man in the
box, and he is likewise the last man to
make up his mind what he ought to do.
He is pleased with the appearance and
bearing of the plaintiff, but on the
other haud, he is thoroughly impressed
with the justice of the defendant s case.
In this dilemma he awaits tho first vote
and then chimes in with the majority.
After the jurors have listened! a
great mass of conflicting testimony,
been talked to and pleaded with by the
lawyers and gravely instructed by the
Court they aro IcU away by the court
officer, who carries a portcntious look
ing kev in his hand, and are marched
into a little ten-by-tcn jury room. The
key grates in the lock, tho officer re
treats down the stairway and the twelve
men "good and Into" arc left to the
joint contemplation of bare walls and
tho caso under consideration. The bare
walls look so cold and gloomy that the
unhappy jurymen at onco devote them
selves exclusively to the case. Granted
that all the elements constituting a well
ordered jury exist quick justice is
meted out. and it oftentimes happens
that a loud pounding on the door
announces to the officer who has just
left that the jury arc ready with their
verdict. At other times boUterons lan
guage and voices raided high in angry
contention show too plainly that the ob
stinate juror has got himself hopelessly
'entangled with the conscientious juror.
Then the judge goes away, instructing
them to hand in a sealed verdict in the
morning.
When tho morning arrives the judge
finds tho .jury in their seats, looking
haggard and worn. The obstinate juror
Is sulloa and defiant while tbe fore
man tells the judge that they have not
been able to agree. The lawyers look
disappointed, the litigants despairing.
Th jurors, if they are discharged, file
sheepishly out of court collect in squads
In the corridors and vow vengeance
agawst tho obstinate one, who trips
jauntily away, happy in the knowledge
of a duty well performed. N. Y. Eer-

VENICE,
urn n falls e Hfe'Exserieaees In
Best Waters Tow ta Xarope.
We arrived in Venice last evening;
latitude 45 deg. 25 min, N., .longitude,
IS deg. 19 min. E.
Venice is the home of the Venetian,
and also where the gondola has its
best and rears its young- It is also the
headquarters for the' paint -known as
Venetian red. They use it in
painting the. town on'iestive occasions.
This is the town where the Merchant of
Venice used to do business, and the
home of 'Shylock, a broker, who
sheared the Venetian lamb at the cor
ner of the Bialto and the Grand Canal.
He is now no more. I couldn't even
find an old neighbor near the Rialto
who remembered Shylock. From what
I can learn of him. however, I am led
to believe that he was pretty close in
his deals, and liked to catch a man in a
tight place and then make him squirm.
Shylock, during the great panto in Ven
ice manyjears ago, it is said, had a
chattel mortgage on more lives than
J-ou could shake a stick at He would
oan a small amount to a merchant at
three per cent a month, and secure it
on a pound of merchant's liver, or by
a cut-throat mortgage on his respire
tory apparatus. Then, when the paper
matured he would go up to the house
with a pair of scales and a pie knife
and demand a foreclosure.
Venice is one of the best watered
towns in Europe. You can hardly walk
a block without getting your feet wet
Unless you ride in a gondola.
The gondola is a long, slim hack
without wheels and is .worked around
through the damp streets by a bru
nette man whose Dreath should be a sad
warning to us all. He is called the gon
dolier. Sometimes he sings in a low
tone of voice and. in a foreign tongue.
I do not know where I have met so
many foreigners as I have here in Europe-
Wherever I go I hear a foreign
tongue. I do not know whether these
people talk in the Italian language just
to show it off or not Perhaps they pre
fer it London is the only place I have
visited, where the' Boston dialect is used.
London was originally settled by ad
venturers from Boston. The blood of
some of the royal families -of Massa
chusetts may be found in the veins of
London people.
Wealthy young ladies in Venice do
not run away with the coachmen.
There are no coaches, no coachmen and
no horses in Venice. There are only
four horses in Venice, and they are
made of copper and exhibited at St
Mark's as curiosit.es.
The Accademia delle Belle Arti of
Venice is a large picture store where I
went yesterday to buy a few pictures
for Christmas presents. A painting by
Titian, .the Italian Prang, pleased me
very much, but I couldtvnt beat down
the price to where it would be any ob
ject for me to buy it Besides, it would
be a nuisance to carry such a pioture
around with meall over the Alps, up
the Bhide and through St Lawrence
County. I finally decided to leavo it
and secure something less awkward to
carry and pay for.
The Italians are quite proud of their
smoky old paintings. I have often
thought that if Ven'ce would run less
to art and more to soap, she would be
more apt to win my respect Art is all
right to a certain extent, but it can be
run in the ground. It breaks my heart
to know how lavish nature has been
with water here, and yet how the Ve
netians scorn to investigate its benefits.
When a gondolier gets a drop of water
on him, he swoons. Then he lies in a
kind of coma till another gondolier
comes along to breathe in his face and

EDUCATED TO DEATH.
The
KtIU ef Over-Craamaalag la Pablle
Schools IUustrated.
Ten million children are educated in
the public schools of the United States
at an annual expense of nearly one
hundred million dollars.
In every respect these figures are as
tonishing. They show how liberally
the "palladium of our liberties," as the
Fourth of July orator always calls the
school system, is supported, and also
that it includes nearly one-fifth of our
total population.-
These figures may well attract atten
tion, and especially that of parents. It
is the most natural thing in the world
that in such a vast system there should
be constant emulation and rivalry not
only between scholars, but scholars
ana teachers, to surpass every other
school. -j
'In this lies a great danger, that of ed
ucating the children to death. The re-,
cent exposition by the York (Pa.) Daily
of theamount crammed by rote into the
children in that town is one instance
out of thousands, and no one can doubt
that the dry facts given to the York
scholars would produce mental indi
gestion in grammar-school children
and tax their abilities too far. In the
daily papers of this very week in which
the York story is printed appears an
account of a bright young girl of
Brooklyn, who was ambitious to be the
hed of her school. Encouraged by
fond but silly parents, she worked con
stantly, gained her aim and has just
become an intellectual and physical
wreck. The other case is that of a boy
who succeeded in all of his studies but
one Latin; for failing in which both
his teachers and father reproved him.
To save further humiliations to him
self, and any repetition of his father's
action, he was accustomed to steal out
of bed in the dead of night and apply
himself to his Latin until the gray
streaks of dawn warned him of the
danger of being discovered in his un
dertaking. As a consequence the lad's
nervous system gave way under the
strain, ana though he succeeded in his
object it is a serious question with his
doctors whether he wXl ever be re
stored to even tolerable health.
Are not these instances enough to il
lustrate the evil of over cramming in
the public schools; or if they are not
enough can they not be supplemented
in the experience of any reader?
Fathers who think first of their
money-making and mothers who think
first of social duties too often neglect
the first of all duties that to the chil
dren and in this neglect comes the
strain of the schools. Every father
and mother should see that their chil
dren are not forced to study too hard.
Above all they should use their influ
ence to do away with the pernicious
habit of study at" home. Overwork is
the great' complaint of Americans.
When it -comes to having over-worked
children the prospect is terrible for the
future. We have too many "diseases
incidental to modern life," and of these
many are traceable directly to the pub
lic school. The educate the chil
dren to death, and instead of demand
ing more studies or more time for study
every man and woman who has a child
at school should try to see that the sys
tem can be so modified that the., poor
children shall only need to study not
much more than half the time they do
now, and that will be almost too much
for the little ones. Philadelphia News.

THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.
A Pathetic Romance Told by a Passeac
ob a Western Trala.
She was poorly clad, and shivered as
she sat down near the stove and wrung
her blue, rough fingers to warm them.
The passengers all felt sorry for her,
for she had a kind, benevolent face, and
seemed to be grieving about something.
"I wonder I wonder I wonder if I
will get there in time," she mumbled
over and over again. "Poor boy! He
was always so good to me, and I wonder
if I will be with him when itpomes?"
Tickets?" said the conductor.
The old -woman opened her basket
and was a long time looking over it
although. she searched diligently, and
when she got through she looked very
white and sad, and softly said to the
conductor:
"Stop the train and nut me off. 1
bought my ticket yesterday and put it
in my purse, but I .have forgotten my
purse and left it at home. O! sir, I am so
sorry, but I was going to St Louis to
see my poor boy who worked in a
foundry until yesterday, when a great
wheel fell over on him and crushed him
so badly they say he will die; but I have
forgotten my pocketbook, and now 1
will never see my poor boy again in
this world. Put me off, but I don't know
how I will get back home or go on,"
and the pleasant ridges on her face
were drawn up into corded lines, and
the blue veins stood out in great knotsi
and she clenched her bony fingers in
agony, as the tears started from her
eyes. The passengers were all looking
on, and when the conductor passed on
as if he had lost his mother, nis great
hand grasping his punch tremblingly
and his eyes brimful, a quiet big
hearted passenger whispered to him and
then went through the coach ahead of
him, asking for half-dollar subscrip
tions, but the passengers would not
give, and as the train slowed up at the
next station the conductor walked up
to her and gently put his hand on her
shoulder.
"Never mind," she said, swallowing
a big lump that kept coming up in her
throat "Pll get on peaceably," and her
frame , was convulsed with a shudder,
and as' the brakeman opened the door
to call the name of the station, the
snow-burdened air came in and blew off
her bonnet and she uttered a sharp cry
as the conductor pressed her back into
her scat and said:
"Don't get off, mother. Your fare is
paid clear through to" He stopped
and said, in deep agony of mind:
"My God!" and as the passengers
gathered around, he completed his
sentence. "Her fare is paid clear
through to Heaven," and as the pas
sengers looked on her glazing eyes, her
acnonized features resumed their wonted
pfeasantness, for she was traveling on a
pass written in letters of living light
and had reached the end of her journey
and met her son, who had died an hour
before. The conductor and brakeman
tenderly lifted the vacant tenement of
her soul and complied with the request
to put her off at the next station. A
pretty girl that bad been flirting began
to cry and a woman and baby took it
up and joined the pretty girl, and one
by one the rest of us united our tears
with theirs, and the fat woman bugged
the brakeman of our coach, and so wo
went on our way, all feeling better for

Biding out from Chattanooga towards
Bridgeport on horseback I came across
a native who had a seat on a rock quite
apiece above the road. If he hadn't
rattled a stone down just as I came
opposite he might have escaped unde
tected. He had a gun across his knees,
and I called to him:
"Pretty good hunting around here?"
"May be," he answered.
"What do you find?"
"Nuthin' yit"
He seemed so cranky that I was about
to ride on, when he rose up and de
scended to the road. He didn't look a
bit good-natured, and he held his shot
gun in a very careless manner as ha
said:
"Stranger, you mought have coma
from Chattanooga!"
"Yes."
"You mought have had company part

"Yes. A man on a mule rode with
me as far as the forks, half a mile back."

"That's him."
"And, hang him, he turned off, did

Nothing New Under the Sun.
That there is nothing new'uader the
sun must surely have been the reflection
of those who read the strange story of
robbery at Portsmouth, which is de
scribed in this morning's papers. Some
thousands of years ago King Barneses
of Egypt as described by Herodotus
got a builder to build him a secret
treasure-house to which the King alono
could find an entrance; but tho astute
builder left a loose stone and helped him
self at the treasury when he liked.
About ten years age, it appears, a gen
tleman named Milligan, residing near
Portsmouth, being of primitive ideas,
thought that a "secret drawer" would
be safer than a bank, and instructed a
workman to make him a receptacle of
this nature. Into this drawer, when
constructed, Mr. Milligan poured some
hundred sovereigns, and never after
ward inspected the store until last year.
In tho early part of this year Mr. Milli
gan put two hundred more sovereigns
into the drawer. The builder of the
drawer seems, however, to have been
struck with the same idea as the Egyp
tian architect of the treasure house, and
went and helped himself as he liked,
and to such an extent that he
has during the year purchased
some houses in the neighborhood. Un
fortunately the tales end differently;
for, when the son of the Egyptian
builder eventually secured the princess
and half the kingdom, the English
builder has merely found his way into
the hands of the police. SL James

THE EARTHQUAKES IN SPAIN.
The Horror of That Christmas Xlght De
scribed by One of the Batterers.
The clearest idea of the horror on
that Christmas night when the first two
shocks in quick succession occasioned
nearly all the distress, was given me by
a Lieutenant Colonel of the Ninth
Cuirassiers, whom I met at the King's
headquarters at the Alhama baths.
This officer said he had permission to
spend the Christmas holidays with his
family at AJhama, and had a few
friends to dinner. After dinner the
friends left and he sat talking with his
wife and children, five in number, when
suddenly one end of the room rose up
three feet The shock threw the whole
family to the floor, with the lamps and
other articles on the tables and shelves.
They remained in total darkness, dazed
aud wondering what had happened.
Presently he supposed it was an earth
quake, and called to his wife and
children to come into the street Ha
reached tho street door and the street
was in total darkness. The air was
filled with the dust of the crumbling
buildings. Afraid to go out he stood
shivering and undecided, when a second
shock came and the kitchen fell in,
killing two servants. A piece of wood
fell upon his wife, breaking her leg. He
then carried his wife out over piles of
ruins. Tho narrow, dark streets were
so changed by the debris that it was
hard to recognize them. He reached
the open fields, where he found that
many had preceded him. He left his
wife with friends and returned for his
children. Ho brought three the next
trip and then the other two. All the
way. while crawling over piles of ruin.
he heard the cries of those who had
been caught and could not extricate
themselves. Every voice was familiar.
He met neighbors telling each other of
the loss of relatives and friends. The
horror of such an experience was un
paralleled. The night was spent in the open
fields, shivering on the ground, enter
taining fears and suffering grief, terror
and a horrid uncertainty, for not even
at daylight did they learn the full ex
tent of the loss sustained throughout
the city.
As Ifollowed my guide I was regaled
with recitals as, "Here two bodies were
dug out" "Ainan and wife over there,"
"Four children on this side;" "One man
was caught in the doorway and could
not get out he died shortly after being
removed" until the tale became too
harrowing to listen to. Arrived at the
outskirts of one part of the town, where
the houses are built ou the edge of a
cliff, almost perpendicular and forty
five feet to the first plateau, the officer
Eointed to the one of which the gable end
ad disappeared. "There," said he.
"two girls were in the kitchen when it
was shaken down. Both rolled with the
debris to the bottom of the cliff. Where
yon see thatpile one was killed; the
other, thank God, escaped without in
jury," and taking off his hat he piously
crossed himself. "This girl has since
become a heroine, and all visitors te
the ruined city are constantly impor
tuned to allow themselves to be intro
duced." Passing around under the edge of tke
mountains he showed me where a nnm
ber of houses had been built under the
shadow of the overhanging cliffs, now
buried- with all their mate. Many
bodies are still remaining under tke
ponderous rocks. The odor is per
vading and sickening to tbe passer-by.

SACRED BREAD STONES.
Uoir the ZbbU Prepare the Wafers Which
ater lata Their Kellgtouk ObMrr
aaces. For no art or industry within the
range of the domestic duties of Zuni,
is so much care and instruction be
stowed by the old women on the yoaug,
as for every process in the making of
the he-we or wafer breads. Year in
and year out too, wh'-le theso lessons
are being plied, it is told howthefamed
and beloved "Goddess of the White
Shells" taught not a few of her graces
and some secrets in connection with
the daily occupation which forms their
theme. Of the secrets, a chosen few
old women of the tribe are keepers.
With many a mysterious rite and severe
penance, they quarry and manufacture
the enormous baking-stones on which
the' flaky tc )thsome he-we is made.
Garrulous enough, mercy knows! are
these old crones on most other subjects;
but they guard with a sphinx-like jeal
ousy such of their methods and ob
servances as add prestige to experience
in their occasional calling. The usual
number of old women making up a
party of "stone finishers" is lour or
eight rarely more. Four days previ
ously to the tempering of the stones
they retire to an estufa or lone room,
there to fast and ojigage in Certa.n
ceremonials, in which croning tradi
tional chants and repeat. ng ritual
play an important part. During the e
four days they never come forthvun!ess
at rare intervals aud for a very short
time (and then under the protecting in
fluence of warning head-pfuuics) that
they may not be touched by the unin
itiated. Yet, dur ng the intermiss:ons
of their religious observances, they
prepare great cakes of pinion gum,
carefully wrapping them in strips of
cedar bark. ani in other ways make
ready for the work at hand. On the
morning of the day succeeding the last
night of their vigil, they repair in sin
gle file, headed by a particular clan
priest usually a "Bauger," who on no
account touches one of them to the
quarry. Before lifting the stones, be
fore even quarrying any of them, they
recite long, propitiatory prayers, cast
ing abundant medicine-meal to the
"Flesh of the roL-k." With other but
shorter prayers the fire is kindled by
the old priest who uses as his match a
stick of hanj wood with which he drills
vigorously into a piece of dry. soft
root until the friction ignites the dust
of its own mak: tg. and to the flames
thus creucratcd. ilYorings of dry food
are made. The jtones are then brought
and when warm enough, placed over
the tires, being cor.-tantfy anointed
with p tch and cactus juice, which they
greed ly absorb, so that they at- least
seem m1 d masses of carbonized sub
stance rather than gritty rock. From
the beginning to tho end of this tem
pering process never a word is spoken
aloud nor he lea.-t excitement or
sprightly aetion indulged in. Sounds
uttered 'would penetrate tke grain of
the rock and, expelled by heat or con
flicting wth the new "being" (func
tion) of the stone, split scale or shiver
it with a loud noise. So also, the evil
infliunue of undue passion or hasty ac
tion would al'-ke be communicated to it
