This Is a thing to wonder at 1t COM
mences with a soup plate full Of boiled
rice, which Is handed round In large
bowls and served with wooden ladle.
From ten to twenty dishes, all put on
the table ut once, are then handed
round and some OF each put into the
rice or on a small plate beside the soup
plate. These dishes include fish, fowl,
meats OF various kinds, curried eggs,
fried bananas, shrimp fritters, omelet
and curry, finishing up with chutneys Of
all sorts served in large round dish di.

by beefsteak, almost raw. and fried po-

A PUEBLO LEGEND.
ne story of the Great Floed and the
Monster Turtle.

Mhs story of the Great F1oed and the
Monster Turtle.
The children OF the Pueblo Indians
have a Noah's ark Of their own, aud
some OF the animals II contains are
very curious indeed such animalR In
fact. as civilized young people are not
acquainted with. Among them are
mountain goats, queer creatures OF the
cat tribe and prong horned antelopes.
All Of these animals are made out OF
clay and baked like pottery, after
which they are painted In quite an
artistic and lifeliks fashion.
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo
Indians have tradition OF great
food. The catastrophe occurred long
ago when they lived In the ancient
land Of their forefathers. One day the
earth began to shake and strange
rumbllngs grew louder and louder un-
III at length an opening yawned In
the middle Of the central square Of
the town. Out Of the opening gushed
q mighty stream of water, overwhelm.
ing the houses and flooding the val.
ley, 90 that the inhabitants ned with
their live stock to nsighboring noun
tains.
Presently there rose out Of the hole
h the earth the bead Of Q gigantic
turtle. which lowered to the very roof
Il the sky. Everybody was terror
stricken. but the chief man Of the
tewn. whose name ought to have been
noah plucked up the courage to ask
he great reptiIs what II wanted. The
turtle replied that II was hungry and
tAat its appstite could be appeased

hg to do but to obey. and % q hand
some youth and q beautiful GIRL were
asliversd up 10 the turtle, which took
them In It's mouth and sank with them
through the hole. Immediately all Of
he water flowed away. and In ths
place where the reptile had appeared
there rose up large black rock. which,
according to the myth. may be seen to
this day. testifying to the truth Of the
story.
Unfortunately. the deluge left things
In such q damp and uncomfortable
condition. after destroying all Of the
houses aud most Of the portable prop
srty, that the people thought II wisest
to go away. So they started on a
Journey northward, the whole tribe Of
them. and the crane. which is sacred

route. At length they came to the re-

on SELECTION OF WALL PAPERS

She is a very careless housekeeper
who does not take great interest in her
house at this asOn, With rooms
frightened with new paint and paper
and freshly Numbered curtains, n
charm Of novelty exists for some weeks
to come. There is a pleasurable ex-
element in selecting the decorations
Of rooms, and this year the wall papers
are especially beautiful. A pattern
favored for a room not broken by many
windows and doors represent vines or
shrubbery running toward the top Of
the room, where the design ends in a
mass Of bloom. A rose paper with
branches OF green leaves tipped with
crimson or pink roses is q cheerful
selection and suggests a delightful
scheme Of carrying out the same idea
in furnishings, l would suggest. how
ever, that instead Of trying to match
the paper with cretonne, the crimson
and green be used as touches Of color
instead Of being brought again into
great prominence In the cushions and
draperles.
This style Of wall paper is used large.
ly in bed rooms, and Of course the ef-
feet is not improved by being broken
up with little passee partout pictures
or in fact by anything hung on the
walls. The same paper can be used on
cottage dining rooms where the furni-
ture used is not heavy. 1t might, how
ever, be carried to the plate rail in
more imposing rooms and the space
above be treated with a plain paper as
background for the plates, stein, etc.,
used as a decoration, But by all means
avoid the effect Of framed pictures or
OF china suspended amid vines and
trees
The value Of tile or washable papers
is also recognized for bath rooms and
nurseries, but they are equally good for
back stairs and narrow halls whero
the walls are liable to be defaced by
hands resting against them.-Man.

II the wishes Of the American peo-
pie had prevailed, Fltzhugh Lee would

SPIDER THREADS THE BEST,
For Use in Telescopes Nothing Has
Been Found SO Good.

The astronomer after the experience
OF many years has found that the
spider furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used In carrying
on his work, writes Ambrose Swazey,
in the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are
from one-hfth to one-seventh Of a
thousandth Of an inch in diameter
and, in addition to their strength and
elasticity, they have the peculiar
property Of withstanding great
changes of temperature; and often
when measuring the sun spots, al.
though the heat Is so intense as to
crack the lenses Of the micrometer,
eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
in the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al.
though Of great value as a CONNER.
cial product, are SO coarse and rough
compared with the silk of the spider
that they cannot be used In such in.
struments.
Spider lines, although but a frac.
ton Of a thousandth Of an inch in
diameter are made up Of several
thousands of microscopic streams of
fluid, which unite and form a single
line, and it is because Of this that
they remain true and round under the
highest magnifying power.
An instance of the durability Of the
spider lines is found at the Allegheny
observatory, where the same set of
lines in the micrometer Of the tran.
sit instrument has been in use since
1859.

NEEDLE USED BY MEN.

The masculine equivalent Of the word
needlewoman probably is not found in
any grammar or dictionary. Yet the
use of the needle by men is not at all
uncommon. Sewing is a masculine
occupation in India, and without going
so far aield ''needlemen" may easily
be found, In Europe the art Of needle
craft has some illustious male devo-
tees. The Grand Duke Of Hesse is
devoted to embroidery, and among the
treasured possessions Of Queen Alex
audra is n magnificent shawl crocheted
Ny the Crown Prince Of Denmark. ].
Cathcart Wason, the representative Of
Orkney and Shetland Islands in the
British House Of Commons, knits his
own stockings, and only the chatting
Of fellow members has deferred him,
it is said, from plying the knitting
needles in the smoking room of the
House Of Commons. Gerald Balfour,
nephew of the British Premier, is also
fond of knitting, while Victor Bowrlng-
Hanbury seeks mental relaxation in
fine embroidery.
