The Umbrella Bird.

The umbrella bird, which has some
resemblance to a crow both in size and
plumage, is so called from a wide crest
which spreads out above its head like
a parasol. This crest is composed of
long slender feathers, rising from a
contractile skin on the top Of the head.
The shafts are white, and the plume
glossy blue, hair-like, and curved out
ward at the tip. When the crest is laid
back the shafts from compact white
mass sloping up from the top of the
head and surmounted by the dense
hairy plumes, but when fully spread
the top forms a perfect, slightly elon-
gated dome, OF beautiful shining blue
color. The length of this dome from
front to back is about five inches. the
breadth four to four and half inches
This bird Is a native of the islands of
the South American rivers, being SCI
dom If ever seen on the mainland.

A Republican Hat.

The story below, taken from the New
York Tribune, proves that when poetry
is in, wit is not necessarily out:
Michael Joseph Barry, the poet, was
appointed a police magistrate in Dub
lin. An Irish-American was brought
before him, charged with suspicious
conduct, and the constable, among other
things, swore that he was wearing a
Republican hat"
Does your honor know what that
means?" inquired the prisoners law
yer of the court.
II presume" said Barry, that II
means a hat without a CROWN

NAvAJOS WEAVE BLANKETS.
%omen Design Them and Use PRINT.
tive Methods in Their Work.


The wonderful artistic blankets
woven by the Navajo Indian women ex-
cite the greatest admiration wherever
they are seen. They are the product
of infinite labor. 1t takes the Navajo
Indian woman six months to make one
of these blankets that the civilized
dame finds SO delightful as a couch
cover, so quaint as wall hanging.
Her loom is the simplest thing imagina-
ble-two upright poles, across the top
of which third pole is fastened, with
a fourth as a crossbeam at the bot
tom. Then another beam Is fastened
to the upper crossbeam with rawhide.
and two final poles-one top and one

of the warp are tied.
Before this primitive loom the weaver

AS soon as thread is placed it is forced
into firm, close position with a bat
ten stick" SO that at the end the blan-
ket is capable OF shedding the heaviest
rains.t For while the Navajo woman
Is now quite happy to make her blan-
kets for the adornment of the civilized
homes. the first and chief reason for
their existence was to keep the Indians
warm and dry in their wild rides over
the Western plains.
The main beauty of these blankets is
the coloring. The Indian woman likes
bright colors, and she has learned to
blend them with truly artistic feeling.
Nor does she ever turn out two blankets
alike. Each has a design Of its own.
thought out in her brain. and worked
out by memory on the fabric she is
fashioning.
Some of the blankets are made from
wool raised and dyed by the Indians
themselves. They are as beautiful in
coloring, although not so closely woven.
as the blankets made from the Ger
mantown yarn, Of which these primi-
tive workers use hundreds of pounds
every year. Some of them. called the
common Navajo bed blankets. are
woven in stripes of red, white and
black. They are sold, rather curiously,
for so much pound. there being about
twenty pounds to blanket Navajo

Exceedingly pretty are the fancy

and are of real value for decorative ef-
fects. Blankets of this kind sell for

made from Germantown wool that the
Indian woman expends much thought,
and they really are marvellous combina-
tons of coloring. Conventional repre-
senta tions of the various phases Of ma
ture and NEUROLOGICAL symbols often
enter into the designs. But what strikes
one most curiously is the homely OBJ
jeets that the weaver introduces into
her work. A weaving fork, bow and
arrow. perhaps a simple cooking uten-
sill. is sure to be pictured there And
that simple bit Of everyday life is
