THE FAMOUS NAVAJO BLANKETs

Have achieved reputation for dura-
bility, second to none in the world. A
brief description of the process which pro-
duces these indestructable blankets may
prove interesting.
The Navajo tribe Of Indians own i'm
mense Aocks Of well-bred sheep and the
wool clip averages l 500, 900 pounds annu-
ally. A part of this finds its way into the
regular market through the traders, but
the greater portion Is carefully selected
for the manufacture of blankets. After
being cleaned, carded and dyed by pro-
cess known only to themselves, the wool is
ready for the loom. The weavers are i'm
portant personages and will only perform
the labor of making the blanket, there
contains the loom devolves upon the
sqnaws. The hogan is made by planting
six rough hewn poles about eight feet
high in the earth at regular intervals
forming a small square On top OF these
boughs of trees are placed to form a ROO
and shade from the burning rays of thf
sun. The center poles form the sides o.
the room and about foot from the tor
and bottom cross poles, with holes bored
through them for the warp, are securely
fastened with rawhide thongs.
The warp Is made from the fibers of the
yucca tree 1t Is treated in manner
known only to those who prepare it and
the secret will MT be divulged to white
man, therefore their blankets can only b,
duplicated IN quality and texture by them
selves. Formerly these blankets wer,
made solely Tor their own use, but sine,
they were conquered by the government
and thrown almost entirely upon theii
own resources for livrli oo6 the value o
their blankets was impressed upon theii
minds by traders and has become the lead
ing industry Gallup Cleaner.

DISCOVERY OF THE PEoOs COUNTRY.
From the FIeld ana Farm.

From the Field and Farm.
The lower Pecos valley in the eastern
part Of New Mexico, to which 50 many in
coming agricultural pilgrims are now
turning their attention, has a history as
old as any other portion Of the United
States The FIRST white man that ever set
foot upon the soil Of the Pecos valley was
Cabeza de Vaca, who passed up the Rio
Grande river towards New Mexico about
1885. In relating the adventures Of this
woderful trip. he says in his diary: "The
party now arrived at great river coming
from the north (tbe Pccos) aud after pro-
ceeding thirty leagues over level section,
met nnmb o. persons who had come
out Of their town to receive them, and
who welcomed them most hospatitably to
their houses. They guided them on their
way more than Sly leagues, over rough
mountain devoid of water or any kind Of
food, where the part, suffered much with
hunger; but having accomplished that DIS
tauce eyes were gladdened by the sight Of
large river, the water Of which was
breast high.
Here at plain at the foot Of the noun
tains Cabeza de Vaca found considerable
population who loaded him with presents,
but who tried to dissuade him from going
farther west a. he wanted to do. They
said there was nothing but great deserts
in that direction, and finally prevailed on
him to go north into New Mexico, follow.

The Ungallant st. Cuthbert.

st. Cuthbert, that out and out
woman hater, would have no female
creature about his place in Lindisfarne,
not suffering even a cow, saying,
Where there was a COW there must be
a woman, and where there was q
woman there must be mischief" In
the cathedral at Durham, dedicated to
him, a black cross in the pavement
marked the spot beyond which no
woman was allowed to pass. In 1893
Edward III. and his queen went to the
priory at Durham, where thew lodged
together. In the middle of the night
a monk broke rudely into their room,
saying to the queen that st. Cuthbert
loved not her sex, and that she must
up and go. The queen tumbled out of
bed, undressed as she was, and spent
the rest of the night in the church,
praying for pardon to the patron saint
whom she had offended. In 1417 two
servant girls dressed themselves as
men and @impiously approached the
saints shrine, to be severely handled
by the authorities Fortsightly Re-

HappY Homes.


Here's health to the wives and the mothe
Who sit in our households to-day;
Who are glad when they brighten for other:
The hours that so drifting away.
May their eyes keep the light of the gladness.
Their hearts hold the fullness of bliss
That banishes shadows and sadness,
And what need we ask more than this!
But-how can this happiness be kept?
What shall protect those we love,-thoee who
make q Heaven of the Home,-from the
ravages of disease that is often worse than
dealt, that is, in fact, lingering death?
The question is easily answered.: Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription-the standard remedy
for all of those peculiar diseases to which
women are SUBJECTS what must be relied
upon to preserve the health of wives and
mothers. It prerents those diseases, and it
cures them. 1t is blessing to women and
therefore a national blessing, because it
gives health to those about whom the happi-
ness of home centers, and the strength of q
nation is in its happy homes.
