Governor l.. Bradford Prince, of New
Mexico, to party of friends at the Mid
land. 81 have 800 idols, all of them rare
and beautiful and some of them show
ing the work of the skilled artist and
sculptor. That is, dare say, the 'larg-
est collection of images owned by any
individual in the world. The collection
is unique and unlike anything to be
found in the possession of the govern.
ment, the Smithsonian institution, or
any museum in the world. l am deeply
interested in the study and the collec-
ton, for the idols are the work of the
Pueblo Indians Not the moderns who
live in adobe houses, but their ancestors,
who dwelt in stone houses three or four
stories in height. These Indians were
very devout and spent a considerable
portion of their time in the worship of
their household gods, which seem to
have represented the sun, moon and
heavenly bodies. Kansas City Times.

CUTTER.


The establishment of a Cutting School
in Lehighton has been instrumental In
more fully arousing public sentiment upon
one vital question than has eyer before
been aroused namely:
"THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing to your most candid judg
lneut. parents, have lou educated lOul
daughters in such a manner that they can
earn good, honest living by their own ef
forts, If snch a thing should become neces-
sary, for little do any OF us know what is
in store for Hs2 II is a refined accOmp
!ishment for any lady TO be able to look AT
ter her own clothing and see that it is made
correctly and in becoming style, and there
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to knowing how To construct her own
clothing properly,
II Is only the second consideration con.
cerning this life's goods The first is pre-
pairing our food properly and next is our
clothing, and this is of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much To
some of our readers. 1t isan attested faci
that the Cutting School is harbinger of
good wherever established and the price
of the thorough course of instructions civ
'en is merely nominal compared with its
f. great value which is clearly demonstrated
by The best Judgment of some that have
already been doing good work with il, and
we cordially welcome any one to our In
stInction Rooms to see and Investigate for
themselves.
Space only permits us TO give the names
of few who take pleasure in speaking of
its worth.
