OLD MESA life.
The Pueblo Woman Was Always the Head
~ of the Household.

The Pueblo Woman Was Always the Head
- of the Household.
s. 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
it contained She built it and furnished
it with it's utensils of daily use.s 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 were 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 hollow bit of basket
ware or piece Of broken pot for a sup
port all the forms from simple food
bowl up to the largest and most elabo-
rate water jars were 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 'seffect. - The design al
ways means a concrete thing, which
appeals to the understanding Of the In
d1ans 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, peshaps 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. -->.s>-:

Aglow with heavenly fire.

Awakens sleeping Joy, deep toned and full

Press Comment.
Vermont and the Philippines.

Both branches OF the Vermont Leg
islature passed a joint resolu-
ton on Friday last approving Presi-
dent McKinley's demand for the re-
tention of the Philippines. Vermont
is small state in area, but it is one
of the biggest states in brains, pat
riotism, and intelligent thinking. Its
people are steady, serious and
thoughtful. They have clear and
just perceptions OF what is right.
They are not afH cted with heresies,
crankery, and tads. There is less, for
instance, of the 16 to free silver
nonsense in Vermont than in any
other state. Now it appears that they
are also sound on the great question OF
national expansion. They demand
the retention of the Philippines. And
why should they not? Vermont is
the home of Admiral George Dewey.
who captured them. And all the
Vermonters in the union share the
opinion OF the Vermonters at home.

In an editorial article bearing the

Those disciples of Carl Schurtz
who are opposing the administra-
ton policy with regard to the Phil.
ippines profess to find good deal Of
comfort in the utterances of certain
Vermonters like Mr.. Edmunds and
Mr.. Phelps and Congressman Pow

sion that Vermont is against the re-
tention of the Philippine archipelago
and against national expansion gen

There has been great increase lately
in Germany in the number of convictions
for lese majesty, and some Of them are
outrageous. A respectable girl OF 10,

Breslau to two months imprisonment in
jail for merely criticising picture OF the
emperor which was exposed in store
window, and girl II years of age, at
Cologne, has been sentenced to six
months in Jail because, in the presence Of
another girl, she tore down portrait of

December Magazines.

S. E. Casino OF Boston, at one
time resident of St. Johnsbury, is
making a deserved success of his
magazine Little Folks. The first
number Of this monthly, which is in

der the joint editorship of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pratt it has steadily improved.
One of the features of the year is a
series of twelve "Roggie and Reggie
Stories" about twins not quite three
years old. These are written by
Miss Gertrude Smith and the many
illustrations are arranged in a novel
manner. The magazine is published

The Christmas number of Harper's
Magazine appears in bright green
and gold cover which is a refreshing
change from the old-time traditional
cover of this standard monthly.
Perhaps one of its most interesting
articles is the study of the jewish
colony in New York under the strik-
ing title of How the other Hall
Laughs" The writer shows that
the love Of amusement is as strong,
if not stronger, among the poor
than among the richer classes, that
in proportion to their means the
people Of the slums pay more for the
theatre and the opera than their
brethren uptown, and on the whole
get more fun out of them. Such re.
suits are interesting in themselves
and important as sociological data

That the great bicycle firms have
been making money at the expense OF
the great army of riders is now con.
clusively proven, il indeed anybody
doubted it before. The price for the
standard bicycles in 1899 will be
$50, while at least two of the big
firms will sell their best wheels for
$40. Even the chainless which was
sold at the outrageous price of $125
will be sold for SIS and this will
also be the price OF tandems. 1t is
believed that the sale of wheels in
1899 at these prices will surpass all
previous years.

The Dewey Idea.

1t has been Admiral Dewev's idea
from the start that the United States
ought to retain all the Philippines
and that is just where we will find
ourselves after all the peace negotia-
tions are concluded. No man in the
world knows more about the situa-
ton than the hero of Manila bay
and everybody admits that the Yer
mont admiral is level-headed and in
tensely American. Under date of
Oct. 3, Admiral Dewey has written
President Brown of Norwich Uni
versity as follows, II trust the en-
tire archipelago will be retained by
the United States. Any other ar
rangement will lead to no end of
trouble"
Greater America has no warmer
friend than this noble Vermonter
and as everyone knows President
Mckinley and large body of Am
erican citizens share these senti-
ments. While the Vermont congress
sional delegation in congress is di.
vided on the question, it is matter
of local pride that our own congress
man, W. w. Grout. and Senator
Proctor, one OF the leaders in thu
Senate, are both in favor of keeping
the Philippines and increasing ou'
national prestige and commerce
throughout the wide world.

go grimly about their work showing

it when you leave them, for their ex-
