In a Zuni Kitchen.

Four Zuni women. with neatly dressed
black hair, are engaged in the prepare
ton OF food. Before one, who is crushing
the kernels with a long fiat stone lies a
heap of corn cobs, a second is grinding
the meal to finer powder, a third is
parchins corn in a vessel over a fire. and a
fourth is baking corn cakes on a fiat stone

The stuffed menagerie of Mr.. True's de-

the Corwin is the bulkiest animal now in

The American Reindeer.

Probably the cases most attractive to the
eye are those containing the Caribou groups
the reindeer of North America. One case
presents three of the woodland variety
distinguished by heavier antlers than the
barren ground specimens possess which
attract attention to the other case Col.
Clay of this city secured three of the skins.
Just now the government is engaged in the
Importation Of reindeer from Asia to pro-
vide a means of subsistence for the ma
tiVeS OF Alaska reduced to suffering by the
diminution OF the number of marine NAM
mails from which they had heretofore de-
rived their support. Since the ASiatic and
North American reindeer are the same ii
is interesting to note the success of the
siberian savage in the domestication of the
animal in comparison with no such at
tainment on the part of the American
cborIginal. The case may perhaps be COM
pared with that of the domesticatad dog
and the wild coyote. though 1t would seem
that the practical difference would be less
IN the case of the RENDERS.
A great sacred bull and a queer looking
domestic COW from India attract the at

Tack Of Time"

Women, far moro than even the busiest
men, are given to complaining of lack Of
time 1t Is true that women do have more
TO do than men. Their occupations are
more varied and absorbing and uncnding.
But this is not why they have "no time. "
The truth, strange rs ID mny seem, is that
the busiest people are tho ones who man
age to- crowd In che most extras. and OF
those who habitunlly proclaim want OF
time an indefinite continuance Of their
plight may be safely predicted.
The principal reasons that women leave
undone the hundred and one things they
wish 10 do are, first, a lack Of system
which Is considered indispensable In a
business career, and the fact that women
are subject TO incessant trivial interrup-
tions which men would not tolerate for
moment, but from which women lack the
force and the courage to free themselves.
A man who has a casual caller during his
business hours does not hesitate to look at
his watch and excuse himself, but for
nothing short Of desperate Illness or hnv.
ing to catch train does a woman consider
herself justdne In what she and her caller
would both consider rudeness. Yet the
woman's time may be as valuable TO her
as the mans to him. She may have had
her days occupation planned, and long
sequence OF performance may be broken
MP trretrievably. And her Interruptions
are inn umerable, though mostly of a so
cial nature, none the less serious on that
account.
In consequence OF these breaks in her
day her duties overlap one another, be-
come confused and tangled, and much Of
her effort IL rendered Intellectual. .--Phila.
