unearthed In Pompeii. 1t is an inter.
esting experience to view the Neapoli-
tans under the stress OF excitement,
such as is witnessed when az. eruption
of Vesuvius Is apprehended.
All night the streets are thronged
with people who watch With supersti-
tious awe the column of fire that rises
fully 1000 feet in height and the great
masses Of molten lava that Ieap, up in
the air and fall heavily to earth again,
fact which excites the people most,
however, Is that the mountain Is

of an Italian scientist-that Ia, opening

vineyards, where is grown that famous
wine of ashes, the Lacrima Christi. And
Just above are hardened lava streams,

From Naples, by brief drive, Pom
peii, city of the dead, is reached. So
| deeply was this place covered 10y Vesu-
vius, that during the middle ages the
site became a historic mystery. 1t Is
sombre, lonely spot. The various
houses shown to tourists have been
given names In accordance with the
treasures discovered In them when they
were disentombed.
There is the "House of the Wounded
Adonis," 'the House Of the Labyrinth"
so called because a MOSAIC OF Theseus
and the Mlnotaur was found In It.;
there are the "House OF the Little
Fountain" 'The Hose Of the Faun,"
THE House of the Tragic Poet" There
are temples, too, the theatcr upon the
hill, and the famous forum. never fin

views from Pompeii Of the mighty

PEMMICAN AND "DEPUYER."
IN~~~N~~~~~

Equipped with nothing but their skill
and endurance, few ponies, gun or
two, and provision enough to last them
for the day, the early mountaineers
Of the West set out to make their way
through vast wilderness that held all
the terrors of the unknown. William
Il. Hamilton, type Of these self-reliant
men, spent his whole life on the plains,
and in "Sixty Years on the Plains" he
tells, among other things, Of the foods
In use by the Cheyennes, with whom
the plainsmen often came In contact.
The Cheyennes were and are to-day
a proud and brave people. Meat Is
their principal food, although berries
of different kinds are collected In sea-
son, as we'll as various roots. The
kettle Is on the tripod night and day.
Most tribes of plain Indians dry
their meat by cutting 1t into thin flakes
and spreading it on racks and poles In
the sun. Pemmican Is manufactured in
the following manner:
The choicest cuts Of meat are select
ed and cut into flakes and dried. Then
all the marrow is collected and the
best Of the tallow, and both tallow and
marrow are dissolved together over
slow fire. Many tribes use berries In
their pemmican. Mountaineers always
do unless they have sugar.
The meat is now pulverlzed to the
consistency of mince-meat, the squaws
generally doing this on a fiat rock,
using a pestle. A layer Of meat Is
spread, about two inches thick, the
squaws using wooden dipper, buff
falo horn or a claw for this work. On
this meat Is spread certain amount
of the melted marrow and tallow, the
proportion depending on the taste.
This same process is repeated until the
desired amount Is secured. One pound
of pemmican Is equal In nourishment
to five pounds Of fresh meat
Another important article Of food,
the equal of which Is not to be had
except from the buffalo, is "depuyer,"
depouille. 1t is fat substance that
lies along the backbone next to the
hide, running from the shoulder-blade
to the last rib, and about az thick as

From Algiers the tourist sails for
Palermo, with Its beautiful gulf, "The
Golden She'll" encrcled by lofty noun
tains. The city lies in a blossoming
plain, was fought for, like all Sicilian
cities, by Greeks, Carthaginians, Ro-
mans, Saracens and Normans, and. al
though still fairy-lke of environment,
retains few traces of its origin. When
the last Of the winter SHOWS has melted
away, the orange and judas trees
bloom marvelously, and every land
breeze brings the city springtime
freight Of the rarest fragrance. Nature
offers man an Eden here, but. he, poor
mortal that he Is, hungers and thirsts
pitifully, starving physically in this
paradise Of beauty.
Poverty Is general in Palermo, yet 1t
has Its treasured sights-the university,
the public Libraries, the many famous
churches, clubs and palaces, and courts
Of justice. In some OF these edifices
are mosaics which are like old tapes
tries, silken in appearance, but more
enduring than tapestry handiwork
being made Of cubes of agate, of jasper,
lapis lazuli, and other rare and brill
liant stones.
The people are given to many church
feast days, but the poorer workers are
