zuNI FAMILY LIFE.

The little half civilized children Of
Zuni so aroused our curiosity that We
drove through forty miles of sand and
sagebrush. from the railroad at Fort
Wingate. to pay them a visit. AS the
Indians do not provide for travellers
we took our hotel with us-tents
beds and food-and camped just out
side their village. The village looks
like huge beehive made of clay
and stuck fast to the top of a sandy
knoll The hive is filed with mass
Of cells-300 single rooms. placed
side by side and piled in rows one on
top Of another
In each OF these rooms ives Iuni
family. There are no inside stair
ways leading from story to story, but
II the boys and girls living in one row
wish TO pay visit to house above
them they must go outdoors and
climb a ladder On the slope between
the village and the Zuni river are
number of small vegetable gardens,
each one enclosed by mud wall.
ZunI has no inns, no shops, no sa-
looms. not even proper streets, but
only narrow alleys that thread their
way through the strange town. AS we
walked through the village all the
world came out to see us. Girls and
boys clustered on the roofs or sat on
the ovens--queer little cones OF mud
which seem to grow up out OF the
housetnps--while fathers, mothers
and babies peered out from dark door
ways to stare at the visitors, When
we had finished our tour OF the roofs
and alleys we were Hospitality invit-
ed indoors. Even there the children
followed us. and as we glanced up at
a hole in the ceiling which served as
a window a girls laughing face filled
the opening. We must have looked
strange in our hats and gloves and
long skirts.--Marie Brace Kimball in

GRACE OF EASTERN WOMEN.


Passing us occasionally, going to
Jerusalem with butter and eggs and
little Jars of leben that showed their

count on boarj-guage connection

tip the waiter in first-class restaur-
