IDOLS OF ANCIENT PUEBLOS.
Unique Collection of stone Images
Being PhOtOg raphed for the
Government.

G. w. Hodge and exploration party
of the bureau of ethnology at Washing
ton, d. c., have been engaged for four
days at Santa Fe,, N. NJ, taking photo
graphs of the unique collection Of stone
idols belonging to ex-Gov. L. b. Prince.
1t consists of over 1000 stone idols col
lected in all parts of New Mexico by ex-
Gov. Prince in the last II years and is
the only complete collection in exist
ence. The idols were all recovered by
excavations made upon the sites of an
cient Pueblo villages. Many of them
are SO brittle that they have been
broken, despite the most careful hand
ling. The appearance of the idols is
curious, and, besides representing hu
man beings with faces expressing ell
sorts of emotions and having their
hands folded in peculiar way across
their chests, there, are representations
of all sorts of animals, which have pc
culiar decorations or Inscriptions.
The idols are sculptured out of sand
stone, pumice, lava and other material.
Some are light enough to float in wa
ter. Some of them are almost six feet
high. 1t is difficult to tell the age of
the idols and it is only known that
they were used by the ancestors of the
present Pueblo Indians before the Span
ish conquest. The collection of ex-
Gov. Prince has been seen by compare
lively few persons thus far, but for
seven years the bureau of ethnology has
been anxious to obtain photographs of
them. Gov. Prince will probably send
them to the Smithsonian institution.
Gov. Prince also possesses pottery and
charred corn taken out of the excava-
tions in which the stone idols were
found and has in preparation an ex-
haustive treatise upon the aborigines
Of New Mexico.

CUBAN ADJUSTMENTS.
Those OF the Women Especially
Would Seem Very Tame and Mild
to the American Girl.

The amusements of the Cubans, and
especially of the Cuban ladies, would
seem very tame and mild to American
girls. The climate, of course, largely
accounts for this, as it is not advisabl
to take much exercise in the sun in
Cuba--at all events more than can be
avoided.
Tennis is practically unknown; BIZ
cycling for girls is ont of the question,
except in the case of very small chill
dren; dances are certainly very popu-
lar, but concerts are more favorite
pastime, though entertaining in private
houses, where singing and music are
the chief features, seems the main form
of amusement. In the way of refresh
ments, except in very few houses,
none are served.
Sunday afternoon and Sunday night
seem to be exceptions to any other time,
for on Sunday afternoon everybody
that has carriage is driven around
the Prado, the Bois de Boulogne Of Ha-
vana, and even those who have not got
carriages, but are able to hire a hack,
join in the procession, where all the
latest fashions in millinery and jewelry
and fans are displayed.
From the Prado they go back to the ir
houses and two hours later appear ut
the band concert in Central park, which
is generally crowded from eight till
ten. There are hundreds of we'll
dressed little girls with their nurses
there then. These children play
sort of game very much like "kiss in the
ring" and occupy large portion Of the
park, with a considerable number of
onlookers at each game.

WORK AS DOMESTICS.
Cousins of Sir Thomas Upton, Owner
of the Sham rock, Are Employed
In New York City.

Sir Thomas Upton, owner of the
Shamrock, has two cousins in New York
city who are employed as domestics by
the Misses Ward of East Forty-fifth
street. One, Annie Adams, is kitchen
maid, and the other, her sister, Maggie,
is laundress. They are the daughters
of the sister of Sir Thomas Lipton's
father. Their parents died in Killa-
coona, County Monaghan, years ago.
Annie and Maggie had to face the world
alone. They came to America and be-
came servants. "Cousin Tom" as they
call their distinguished relative, has
not forgotten them, and his checks
have helped them over hard places.
Annie, the younger, who is 81 years,
said:
Fifteen years have passed since we
came to America and we have always
worked below stairs. Every time Cousin
Tom comes to America he writes to us
and sends us money. It's big heart
Cousin Tom has. When he first came
to see us, when boy, he was full of the
old Scotch notions of being good.
Sure, when he grew older he lost his
firm ways and became broth of boy,
flirting and joking and dancing with
the girls of Killacoona."

An Indians Remantic story.

A chief of the Omaha Indians died re-
Gently in whose career was wound up a
romantic and wonderful story. He
traced his lineage ON his fathers side
to the naughty Bourbons who once
ruled over France. His grandfather
was Francois, Marquis de Fontenelle,
who, when Napoleon was rising into
power, left France and settled in New
Orleans. His father ran away from
New Orleans, became a trapper, and
eventually was adopted into the Omaha
tribe of Indians and married the daugh-
ter of the great chief of the nation.
Stranger still, this half-breed Indian
was good classical scholar. AS a
trader with other Indian tribes he
amassed fortune Chicago Chronicle.

THE BOY AND THE TOY.

One day before q window
There stood q little. boy.
Who gazed with earnest longing
Upon a pretty toy
Who thought with It's possession
Would come earth's greatest Joy.
Day after day he saw it
He sighed day after day
And trembled lest some other
Might carry 1t away;
Day after day new splendors
Were centered where IL lay.
He gazed into the future
Life's story was begun
He stored his little earnings,
And when the days we're done
His sleep was full Of visions
OF treasures to be won.
There came day Of triumph,
He carried of the prize,
And, lol at once its splendor
Died out before his eyesi-
The little boy was foolish;
But, then, are men 30 wise?

Chicago Claims over 2,OOO,OOO Popu-
IatIOn.

Chicago has just completed police cen
sus and claims a population of loss, 043.
The work of compiling the census was
done by police precincts and the returns
were made by patrolmen. Sergt. A. T.
De Long, who has charge of the Police
Bureau of Records, admits that his figures
are largely based upon estimates and may
be 100000 or 200, 900 out of the way, but
counting the entire 200 square miles of
territory, extending from the Indiana
State line, half way to the Wisconsin
boundary, he thinks Chicago has fully
100000 inhabitants. The census gives
no details as to Chicago's agricultural in
dustries, the farmers being too busy with
their crops to present them with accustom-
ed accuracy. 1t is said, however, that
the frog breeders in the Calumet Swamp
district and the cabbage tillers of Austin
and Cicero are satisfied with the count.
Corn and oats in jefferson, Worth, Nor
wood Park, Lyons, and South Evanston, all
in the city limits, it is said, will yield large
crops. The police count included the lodg-
ing houses conducted by Bathhouse John
and Hinky Dink.- New York Sun.

The Forests Denuded.

r,,..t Tent Caterpillar Eating Every
variety Of Deciduous Trees Near st.
Johusburv'
The condition of forest, shade and fruit
AGO.. I'M 81 Johnsbury and it's vicinity has
',a,a to he one of the most serious prob
,,,s that has confronted the people for
n,any years. The tent caterpillar appeared
~ C,lejonia county just as the trees were
aofn., out. At first its ravages were
shell, confined to naples and fruit trees,
sn, now nearly every variety of the decid-
,ons trees has suffered.
When one enters a wood lot he hears
instant sound like the falling of rain.
rhs trunks of the trees are alive with cat
.rnillars and great numbers of them are
.ainging upon threads on their way to the
ground. ,
Many of the forest-crowned hilltops of
Caledonia county, especially those covered
uitb NAPLES, are as leafless and brown as in
late autumn.
Every possible method has been tried to
rrotect the shrubs and trees in st. Johns
bnrv. The authorities have employed a
fire. engine to spray the trees bordering the
streets with a poisonous solution, but the
results have been only partially successful.
Lawns and shaded walks have lost their
psual charms on account of these pests,
which attach themselves to the clothing.
1t is estimated that the ravages of the
csterpillars will cost the state hundreds of
thousands of dollars if they remain another
season. for large numbers of trees are sure
To be killed The more delicate shade and
fruit trees, scientists say, will hardly sur
viye beyond the present season, whether a
repetition of this years scourge occurs or
not This will mean serious decrease in
the value of real estate; number of poor
farmers, in fact, intimate that if the pre-
dicted results follow they shall abandon
their farms.
The state entomologist, G. H. Perkins of
Darlington, has Just issued and caused to
be posted in every town and village in the
state warning to the effect that during
the next two weeks the forest tent cater
pillars will build their cocoons upon the
foundations and clapboards of houses or
fences. walls and bushes, and every one
killed now will mean 200 less next year, as
they will soon change to moths and lay
eggs.
Two hundred times the present number
would certainly indicate the likelihood of
an appalling condition of things next year.
A parasite is said to be working havoc
among them, and may eventually extermi-
nate the pest.
