THE MOQUI INDIANS
INCIDENTS OF A VISIT TO IN.
 TEREsTING NATIVES.
Village of the Aborigines in Western
 Arizona Which Had Not Been '~ Visited by White Man
 for Over" Year.

Late in the fall of 1872, little party of government officials, including an army officer, an Indian agent, and an in- terpreter, set out from Fort Wingate. New Mexico, for the MoQui Pueblo In- dian villages in western Arizona. A number of attendants closely followed the party, having in charge pack train conveying goods for distribution to tho Indians. For more than week the journey lay through the Navajo Indian country along the southern border of the picturesque Painted Desert" region, and beyond to the bank of the Little Col orado. Once across that tortuous adu- ent of the Grand Colorado, the trial led westward for more than a fortnight, traversing broad, barren plateau that ended finally at the base Of great, de tached, fat-topped mountain on which Hualpi, the most eastern Pueblo of the Moqui group had been built.
 The people of the town were greatly surprised to see their visitors. Nearly year, they said, had elapsed since any white men had found their way to the Pueblo, and they had begun to accept as true the revelations made in dream to Hultupi, medicine man, that a wide spread cataclysm had destroyed all hu- man beings except themselves.
 Ordinarily strangers visiting the Pue- bio were taken for shelter to subter- ranean room, known as the "estufa ' a cavernous place sunk in the sandstone rock on which the village stood, for use as a council chamber and 8 general lounging place Thither the party would have gone had not the "Governador" in- sisted that 1t should take up its abode in an empty building In the town where it would be more accessible by the peo- pie.
 The building was found to be accepta- ble and as soon as the agency goods brought by the train, could be opened and arranged, the distribution of an nuities and presents beganA
 When the ceremony was well under way the agent turned aside for mo- ment to take dose of quinfne for some ailment from which he suffered. He quickly discovered that the drug haG escaped from the packages in which he

BEAUTIFUL MIR. TOAD.

beetles, carrion beetles, snails and angle worms.
 When you remember that most of these creatures are injurious to crops, and that during large part of the year the toad fills his stomach about four times day with them, you will admit that he does pretty good seasons s work for the farmer.
 It is in the spring and during the breeding season that toads have the most to say for themselves. At this sea- son hundreds of these little creatures gather in quiet ponds, which are soon awakened into life by the love-song of the males; a musical, rippling song which William Hamilton Gibson de- scribes as the sweetest sound in na- ture" Here the females deposit their eggs, very small and black, and set at short intervals in long strings of trans parent jelly. Thousands of these eggs may be found lying upon the mud at the bottom of the ponds or twined about the water plants which grow there. In about two weeks, the period of incubation de- pending somewhat on the temperature of the water, the eggs are matched, and the polywogS wriggle out and begin to feed on the strings of jelly which lately encompassed them. They grow rapidly, and in the course of few weeks more the legs are developed, the tail is re- sorbed, and the tiny toads leave the water for life on dry land They are very sensitive to the suns rays, and during the day they hide away under all sorts of objects which afford them shade, until evening or until shower of rain tempts them out into the cool, moist air. In some cases, after rain, they come out in great numbers, and the country newspapers report that they came down in the shower itself While thus small, they are picked up and eaten by many species of birds, and even after they are full grown they are regarded as regular prey by hawks, owls, snakes, and probably skunks and many other nocturnal creatures. The fact that they usually spend their days under cover, doubtless saves them from many creat- ures which would otherwise prey upon them Their only means of defense seems to be an acrid secretion of the skin, which is very distasteful to dogs and some other animals, but which quite fails to discourage the birds of prey.
 Some time ago saw toad shed his old skin. First the skin split in a straight line down the middle of the back, and the toad with his hind legs pulled it down and off as one might pull off coat. Then, rolling up the skin into sort of bali. he promptly swallow ed it. showing his disinclination to waste anything-even his cast-off clothes. ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs.

PEOPLE MORBID THE CIRCUS.

Everything, was smooth sailing for us, writes James A. Bailey in Sue cess Gin relating the experiences of the Barnum and Bailey circus in E,l rope9 except i'll the south of France In one of the first cities at which we gave q performance after striking south from Paris, we pitched our tents q little>Way outside the city linn it's under the brow of hill At one o'clock in the afternoon We had made up our minds that we were going to have one of the slimmest audiences in our experience. Things had very dead look. But at half-past one the people began to swarm over the hiil- top. 1t seems that at noon h half hol- iday had been proclaimed and the cit izens had been finishing the work of the day, preparatory to the afternoon at the circus. The whole population was coming to see the show. In twen- ty minutes all our seats were sold. and yet the people kept swarming in upon us. We shouted to them that there was no more room inside, but this made little impression. They were there to see the show and didn't propose to be disappointed. They be, gan to get excited. What had been merely peaceable throng of merry makers was taking on the appearance of mob. Our best interpreter made a speech to them, in which he asked them to name one of their leading men. Full of curiosity they named several. Finally one came forward, and he was requested to select a conl- mittee of four. who were to go inside to ascertain for themselves and re- | +o P1in uxyhn nf the tent was completely filled.
 The committee was appointed and was escorted inside. The men came out in few minutes and one of them | mounted ticket sellers stand and an nounced that it was as we had said. A howl of disappointment went up. A woman with a baby in her arms called out something and rushed past the ticket sellers. This was in the Joan of Arc country, you know, and this woman seemed to possess the spirit of the Maid of Orleans. In stantly the mob was surging in be- hind her. Many began to cut the guy ropes and crawl beneath the canvas | The circus was being raided, and we were very fearful that there might be a panic and great loss of life But meanwhile one of our men had gal
 loped to the town, and just when things, were looking most ominous
 and we began to be sure that they would pull the tent down upon theil heads, half regiment of cavalry came racing over the hill. With drawn sa
 bers they cleared out the people who were not seated, and then they sur rounded the tents. Finally, after q long delay, we were able to give tho performance. That was the most ex l citing time ever experienced in the show business To make sure that there might be no repetition of it we had detail of 400 soldiers around oul tents at all subsequent performances in the south of France.
