SACRED BIRDS OF PUEBLos
Eagles. Kept in Cages to Supply Feathers for Ceremonial
 Occasions.

Eagle feathers are much used in the ceremonials of the Pueblo Indians, and in order to make sure of sup. ply the Zuni keep the birds in cages, plucking few feathers whenever they happen to want them. On the othey hand, the Moki have eagles nests b. cated at various spots within 30 or 40 miles of their towns, which are considered the property of different clans among them. The eagle lays it's eggs in the same nest year after year, and the clans inherit rights to certain nests from generation to gen eration.
 The eagles are not killed, but the new-fedged young ones gre taken from the nest-that IS to say, all but one or two, which must be left. To remind the eagle god to encourage the laying of more eggs by the birds an egg carved out of wood Is placed where the divinity will be sure to see it. Also, afts- being plucked the eaglets are carefEay buried in a certain cleft in the rocks, which is the eagle ceme. tery. Here the eagles have been in tered for centuries and the place is very sacred.
 The Pueblo Indians have tradition of the fioed, ard they say that the turkey is marked in commemoration of that event, its tail being black at the end, where it was dragged through the mud after the waters had subsided. The duck is another sacred bird, be- ing associated with water From the Pueblo point of view anything that is related to the all precious water in any way Is an object of worship. Their religion is made up to a great extent of aquatic divinities and might be called species of water worship.

NEW USE FOR SEAWEED.
As a Mulching Material and Road Covering It Has Been Found
 Very Effective.

Each summer the mulching of sea. weed along the hedge took place in July, until the roots had so reached up after moisture that during one icy winter the privet suffered badly, says Outing. This brought to my attention the necessity of raking of the dry seaweed in the autumn and replacing with stable manure. Since this was done they have become more luxuri- ant than ever. Incidentally this dry seaweed has covered the roads where the brush, which had heretofore been our only relief, had worn of, and has brought to my attention final and in. valuable use for seaweed.
 Up to this time the most practicable road that has been found for these hills Is a thick covering of the bay and huckleberry bushes which abound, cutting them green and allowing them to dry upon the road. This. however, in time would render the surrounding country unsightly, as 1t must be re- newed every year, and an acre of brush scarcely sufices to cover 200 feet of roadway. Therefore in the au. tumn of the year we cover the roads deep in seaweed. This.istops the wash from the winter rains, snows and thaws and encourages slight growth of turf toward spring. when a light covering of brush can be put on to give that cleanliness and the russet color which is charming between the green hedges.

Indian Prisoners.

Of the IS longterm Indian prison. CTS now incarcerated in the United States penitentiary at McNIel's is- land, in Puget sound. 12 who have been there for less than three years are in the last stages of consumption. and none can live more than another year. All are under sentence from ten to twenty years. Warden O. P. Haligan. in discussing the situation. says: From my experience with the Alaskan Indians and Eskimos doing terms in this institution. am of the opinion that the majority of both races have hereditary tuberculosis and that the confinement develops it~

GoTHAM'S UPTOWN TREND.
Pressure on New York's Central Re- zion Is Greater Than in
 London.

Below Fifty-ninth street Manhattan is rapidly ceasing to be a residence borough. Some of the most crowded tenement blocks are now in Harlem and the Bronx, says the New York World, while on the lower east and west sides factories and loft buildings are occupying tenement areas, as in the central portion railway stations, hotels, theaters and shops elbow out the private houses.
 The World has referred to the start ling fact that Brooklyn, with it's miles of vacant lots and its potato fields not yet cut up by city streets, already bears a larger average population per acre than the old city of London. Lon don proper contains St. Paul's church, the Bank of England and other ia. nous but uninhabited buildings, and thin dribble of less than 10000 peo. pie find homes in 1t where once was a swarming civic life; even London bridge was in the old days dwelt upon by hundreds of people. Manhattan as a whole is almost five times as popu. lous per acre as old London, but 1t would be possible to outline a region along Broadway as an axis which is much less so.
 For geographical reasons the pres sure on this central region is greater in New York than in London. The highest price ever paid for land in London figures out about s7,24O,0O0 per acre. The Silliman drug store at Wall street and Broadway brought more than $25,5O0.000 an acre, and a very small freak" plot has been sold in New York at a rate nearer s2S.. 900, ,0O0 an acre.

PASSING OF RAIL FENCE.
Hardwood Timber Is Too Valuable for Such Use, So Wire Takes
 Its Place.

] The country youths of to-day have no rail-splitting records to boast of. Railmaking is an industry to boast of, says the New York Sun. There are a few remote localities in Indiana, Il. linois. Kentucky. Missouri and Arkan. sas where occasional new sketches of worm fence may still be seen. but these new rails are so rare a sight as to evoke comment.
 The passing of the old worm fence is due to the scarcity of timber. Wire fences are replacing the zigzag row of rails in the region where timbe was formerly abundant. When a rail fence becomes so dilapidated as to be no longer serviceable 1t is taken down and the rails which are in a good state of preservation are used to repair other stretches of fence and wire fence is put up in its place. Another ad. vantage of the wire fence is that 1t economies space. The land that was formerly taken up by the fence cor. ners is reclaimed
 The fate of the rail fence was de- clared less than 20 years ago, when the value of walnut, oak and poplar timber increased to such a figure as to make wire fences cheaper. In the worm fences still in existence there are thousands of walnut and popular rails in an almost perfect state of preservation. The walnut ones are valuable. An enterprising Chicago concern recently made that discovery and it's representatives have purchased many carloads of the rails.
 Walnut rails have a remarkably long life. Many are still in use vhicn were split more than 80 years ago.

WEBER ALL STAR COMPANY.


 Tomorrow evening Polls will have a festival of fun. Then will be given the first opportunity for Waterbury theater-goers to see, hear and enjoy performances of Joe Weber's all star company, direct from Joe Weber's Music hall, Broadway and Twenty ninth street, New York. Those pro- life originators of funny musical farce and catchy burlesque, Edgar Smith and Maurice Levi, reached the high mark of their endeavors when they turned out "Higgledy Piggledy" and "The College Widower.' In this ex- ceptionally entertaining double bill they not only provided Marie Dressler, Charles A. Bigelow, Trixie Friganza, and Joe Weber with the best roles they have ever played. but they wrote lines, music and situations for dozen lesser players which are so clean cut and at- tractive that they are better than most so-called "star" parts in the average theatrical attraction. Then, when it is called to mind that those roles are in keeping of such clever players as Sam Collins, Marion Carson, Edward J. Connolly, Erminie Earle, Ernest Lambart, Edythe Mover, Sam Marion, Iva Barbour, Kitty Wheaton and ". Douglas Stevenson. 1t Is readily under stood why Joe Weber's all star com pany has such tremendous drawing power in and out of New York city, That is the principal ,reasor why, MT. Weber and his splendidly balanced or ganization can make a brief tour to the largest cities of the country once year and break records at even the most commodious theaters. An idea of the fun that will be on tap at Polls theater can be gained by noticing the casts of the principals in "Higgledy Piggledy" and "The College Widow" Prices are $2, S150, $1, 75 and 90 cents. No free list.

LAWRENCE D'ORsAY.

In ''The Embassy Ball,' AugustuE Thomas's newest play, which was writ ten for Lawrence D'Orsay, and ill which Daniel Frohman will present that entertaining comedian at Polls tonight, the author has furnished an entanglement even more amusing than that which he supplied for ''The Earl of Pawtucket," another piece written for Mir D'Orsay, and which brought him excellent fame. In The Embassy BalP' the actor will be seen as Cap tain Hawarden-K Kessie, military at tache to the British legation at Wash ington. Ill Paris the captain, who was not an adept ill the French language, went to the assistance of a beautiful American girl who had undergone ar rest for riding a bicycle without a per init, and he had so succeeded in yer bally mixing up matters with the po- liceman that the latter, wholly lais- understanding the case. had taken the gentleman and the lady to an office where they unknowingfy signed mar riage license, after which they went their different ways. As the young girl was heavily yelled the Captain did not see her face. Later on he met her in Washington, without, of course, recognizing her, fell madly in love with her and at most inopportune time, for he happened to be at the moment engaged to another woman. Mi Thomas may be expected to solve this complication in very happy way. ''The Embassy Ball' promises de- lightful entertainment. The support ing company is splendid one and in- cludes besides Miss Charlotte Walker, last seasons leading woman with James K. Haekett, Harry Haywood, Adele Holliwood, Stanley Dark, W. E. Hitchcock, Harold Heaton and E. w. Morrison. The complete cast covers sixteen people. Prices are $1.50, $1, 75, 50 and 9 cents. No free list. j'
