A hundred miles north of the Petrifed
forest and we'll into the edge of the Ari-
zona desert are the seven strange and
seldom visited Pueblo cities of Moqui.
They all have wildly unpronounceable
names, like Hualpi, A-hua-tu and Mish-
ongop-avi, and all are built on the sum-
mits of almost inaccessible mesas-
islands Of solid rock, whose generally
perpendicular cliff walls rise high from
the surrounding plain. They are very
remarkable towns in appearance, set
upon dizzy sites, with quaint terraced
houses Of adobe, and queer little corrals
for the animals in hooks and angles Of
the cliff, and giving far outlook across
the browns and yellows and the spectral
peaks of that weird plain. But they
look not half SO remarkable as they are.
The most remote from civilization of
all the Pueblos, the least affected by the
Spanish influence which SO wonderfully
ruled over the enormous area of the
southwest, and practically untouched by
the later Saxon influence, the Indians Of
the MOqui towns retain almost entirely
their wonderful customs of before the
conquest. Their languages are different
from those Of any other Of the Pueblos;
and their mode Of life-though to a hasty
glance the same-is in many ways un-
like that of their brethren in New Mex

Civilization and Wilderness.

Upon the 1000 miles Of the shore of
Lake Superior there are living now less
than 900 persons, and these are
mainly in busting cities like Duluth,
Superior and Marquette, in industrial
colonies like Calumet and Red Jacket.
or in struggling little ports like Fort
William and Port Arthur. Even there
the wilderness and primeval conditions
are face to face with the robust civiliza-
ton which is shouldering its way as cap
ital is accustomed to DO rather than as
natural growth usually asserts itself
Not that it is not wholly natural growth
which we find at all points On the lake
shore, for it is all in response to the mex
orablc laws Of supply and demand. Yet
the communities there have sprung into
being far apart from we'll settled regions
in answer to these laws.
Thus it happens that today one may
ride in an electric street car to the start
ing point for a short walk to trout
stream, or one may take the steam rail
road and in an hour alight at forest
station, breakfasting there, but enjoy
ing for luncheon a cut of the deer or a
dish of the trout or the partridge which
he has killed for the purpose. 1t is, so
to say, a region wherein the wholesale
fisherman with his steamboat disturbs
the red man who is spearing fish for
supper, where the wolf blinks in the
glare of the electric lamp, and where the
patent stump puller and the beaver work
side by side.-Julian Ralph in Harper's.

Telling the Bees.

The curious custom Of "telling the
bees'' is observed in some parts of nearly
every country in the world. Those who
observe the custom always go to the bee
hives and tap gently on each one, then
stoop and whisper under the cap or lid
that Mary, Jane, Thomas or William is
dead. This is done to keep the little
honeymakers from forsaking their place
of abode should they have to wait and
find out the news of the calamity them
selves. The custom is alluded to in
Whittier's poem, Telling the Bees."-

We all used to say that the old man

But in spite of his outward air of gruf-

for years past been dying by inches. It
was that oldest son Of his who broke the
old mans heart
How could the boy be saved?
For years the old man had studied the

and fast. He was always waiting for
some one to come and offer the advice
that was, to let the boy begin anew.

You know the old man never drank any

Sandy Mcbride opened the icebox and
proceeded to unroll the rubber blanket
that was wrapped around the old man
Mcbride poured out a stiff glass and
offered it to the corpse.
Just then there was a loud noise in
the hall. The son reeled into the room.
Oh, my God, it all came to him,
drunk as he was, in a moment. He had
come to see his father die, but he had
never dreamed of more. The weird
sight made hiln instantly as sober as a

been slumbering suddenly leaped like ..
