French Ghost Hunters,

Members of our own Society of
Psychical Research, which, by the
way, has not been much in evidence of
late, should be interested in the fate
which has befallen' the French body
with identical aims known as La So
ciete DIES Sciences Psychiques. The
latter has just been reduced to state of
hopeless disruption by the conduct of a
section of it's adherents who, presum-
ably weary of combining their psychical
researches to the chasing of elusive
"spooks, have gone astray after such
livelier branches of occult science as
the preparation of talismans, the con.
cocting of love philters and the telling
of fortunes
The earnest ghost hunters, disguised
by this descent to the methods of the
common or commercial charlatan, have
resigned in body and formed a new
society Of their own. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that those who remain
have not proved themselves wiser in
their generation than the seceders, for,
while ghosts are Enthusiastically "off''
in these days, the interest in other forms
Of mystical quackery seems to be az
strong and widespread as ever.-Londor

OLD MESA LIFE.
The Pueblo Woman Was Always the Head
Of the Household.

Inc fueDio w oman was Always the Head
of the Household.
When the men went down to the
fields, the pueblo was really in control
OF its rightful owners, the women. In
these old communities the woman was
the important partner in the household.
She was the owner of the house and all
1T contained. She built it and furnished
1t with its utensils of daily use. The
children traced descent through the
mother and took her clan name. The
mans position, other than mere pro-
wider, was that of an honored guest,
and If he presumed disagreeably on his
position more likely than not he was
sent back to his own home. Far from
being the general slave and pack animal
that Is her sister of the plains tribes,
the Pueblo woman's duties We're purely
domestic, and if she ever worked in the
field it was for the common good, to
save the scanty harvest in time of need.
The grinding of the many colored
corn for bread, the weaving and the
making Of pottery were her principal
occupations, and are to this day. The
Pueblo Indians are par excellence the
potters Of the southwest, and it will be
confessed that they come fairly by the
title, as an examination of some of the
old time ware will prove, although in
this case, as in some others, the evolu-
ton has not been for the better.
In the small house cell or in the white
sunlight the potter sat, and, with
scarcely any tools at all, fashioned such
specimens of the potter's art as to chal.
lenge admiration from US with all our
appliances. The use of the potter wheel
was unknown, and the throwing" Of
shape by this means out of the ques-
ton; but with a hollow bit of basket

bowl up to the largest and most elabo-
rate water jars We're built up by coil on
coil of clay, smoothed or modelled in
pattern as the vessel grew, and when
one examines some of the ancient pieces,
notably those excavated by DR.. Fewkes
of the Smithsonian institution, one can
but marvel
Then came the decorating, and in ev-
cry case, from the simplest to the most
elaborate and intricate symbolic design,
one must confess that the Indian uses
the truest inceptive and fundamental
art principles. There never is any waste
of energy in "effect" The design al
ways means n concrete thing, which
appeals to the understanding Of the In
dams for whose use the utensils are
Through these same pottery forms and
their decoration runs one of the stron-
gest chains binding the old to the new.
Near me are two tinajas, or water jars
One is many generations, perhaps cen.
turtles, old, the other perhaps five years,
and yet in shape and general decoration
they are much alike, and if the newer
one was properly toned" they would
pass as of the same period. -Fernand
Lungren in Century.

Deeds OF American Bravery.

The present war with Spain has not
lasted long, but it has been sufficient
to demonstrate already to the world
that for acts of daring and heroism,
the promptings of undaunting, uncon-
querable patriotism, the American
has no equal on the face of the globe.
Full as is the history of the nations of
thrilling deeds, the brief struggle
that has so far progressed has devel-
oped still further startling achieve
ments of American val0. From
Commodore Dewey's dash and con-
quest of Manila bay to Lieut.. Hob
sons gallant conduct in Santiago
harbor, the world cannot produce a
chapter of events that will approach
in brilliancy of conception, execution
and accomplishment that which has
Illuminated the pages of Columbia S
history in that time.
Life or personal safety do not enter
into the thoughts of the American
hero With him it is much like
And how can man die better

Spanish settlement on the island of

name of Villa de Santisimo Nombre

came the present city of Cebu. In

made the capital. He finally settled
the name of Archipelago by calling it

Roman Catholic orders were given
large grants and great powers, and in
return played great part in explor-

cumstances, was attended by far less
bloodshed and oppression than that
which marked the conquest of the
West Indies, Mexico and Peru.
The government of the islands has
gradually changed from an autOcratic
rule by the governor general to a
modified autocracy. The governor

bishop of Manila, the commander of

are about > cents per day, which
makes this tax very oppressive, and

largest of the Philippines Magellan
took possession Of the island, and any
