The Navajo Indians,

ufacture of fine blankets by the Navajo
women US he saw it during visit to
their country IN New Mexico. The wool
was all spun with the fingers and without
the aid of a wheel, the process being very
slow and requiring great skill. The COL
ors were all vegetable. As two women
spun the warp two others stretched the
yarn upon pegs driven into the ground,
each thread being as long as the blanket
was to be. When the warp was made and
arranged, the wool or filling was spun in
the same way, and each thread woven in
by hand and with the greatest care. In
this manner four women would make
four fine blankets in about three months.
The Navajos have not lost the art of
weaving blankets, says recent letter
from Santa Fe. While the men hunt
and herd cattle and sheep, the women
spin and weave blankets for their own
use and for sale. Seine of those which
have seen here are coarse and can be pur-
chased for from three to six dollars, but
others are so fine and so tightly woven
that they will hold water like . rubber
poncho, and sell tor from TWENTY-FIVE to
seventy-fve dollars each.

A Sailors Christmas Dinner.

"What do you do on Christmas. Day
on board OF ship at seas" said World
reporter to an old salt, yesterday.
"What do we do2" said the mariner
"why We don't do anythin' and that
where the day is different from other
days. It's all the same as Sunday, you
see, aud arter we gifts washed down in
the mornin' we just lays off and does
nothin,' 'cept make aud take in sail.
Then We has plum-dutf for dinner, and
If the old man is all night we gifts our
grog on Christmas night, that's about
all. l mind one Christmas, though,
when I got feed that I'll never forgit
if live a thousand years. The way of
it were: I was comm home in the ship
Mount Vernon, with Capt. Bill Absams,
and we'd got about to the latitude of
forty degrees, or thereabouts, when one
night We hauled the jib down, asd some
of the hands wont out for to stow it.
It's a mighty nasty sail to stow in c
breeze of wind, unless you keep her off,
which they never would do in that ship,
aud one of the chaps by some means lost
his hold and went overheard. The helm
was put down at once, and when her head
got to the BASTARD We got boat down,
and me and three other chaps got into
her and pulled of, lookin' for cur ship
mate. We didut find him, and that
wernt all we lost the ship; and arter
pullin' about for an hour or two we give
1t up and let her lay till daylight. When
that come, there we was in an open boat
in the middle of the ocean, and not sail
in sight anywhere. 1t amt no use tryin'
for to tell you of our sufferin's for the
next week, cause l cant do it. One of
us died on the sixth day, and on the
seventh another chap in the course Of the
night got crazy and jumped overheard,
and on the eight day me and Bill Murray,
was left alone in the boat. Me and him
had been chawin' away on our sea boots
for the past few days, but both of lis felt
that we must have somethin' more
nourishin', or we'd croak, sartin. Some
how or other got kind of scared at Bill,
and he were the same Of me, and we each
took end Of the boot, and KEEP our
knives in our hand.
"rom,' says he at last, these are
hard lines
You're right says l, they are.'
"'1f it's got to be done,' says lie, 'let 3
do it fair, and draw tor it,
"'Good enough says l, and with that
he unlays the end of the boats painter
and cuts off two yarns Of different lengths
