INDIANS CALLED MoQUIs.
How the Hopi People Came to Be
Designated by Objection
able Name.

To those few in the outer world who
ever heard of them at all they arc
mostly known as Moquis-this
through the publicity gained by theil
annual Snake Dance, says the Crafts
man. But Moqui or Moki is a mis-
homer. Hopi is how they would have
us know them-because it is right
and because it means something to
them and is justly symbolic of their
racial characteristics. Peaceful-gen.
tie is its significance-and the worst
word they know to apply to an of.
fender is ka-hopi-the negative of
Hoji-or pas-ka-hopi, the superlative
Of this; and anyone as bad as this
is hopeless. Moki in their language
means dead, and the accepted theory
of its first application to them as a
tribal name is that the Navajo, their
longtime enemy in a spirit of deri.
sion SO called them on account of
their distaste for warfare, and love
of Quiet-stay-at-home life. Accord
ing to the Navajo code they were
dead ones" From the Navajo, whose
country entirely surrounds the Hopi.
the early traders and settlers acquired
the word Moki before ever seeing the
Hopi; and from the trader it. easily
passed without question to the govern.
ment representatives, so it now stands
as the Official appellation in the Indian
department. But ask a Hopi IL he
is MoQui-his quick resentment viii

The career Of the woman nihilist in Russia
nowadays Is very brief so far as the world
ts concerned. She has but one short mo-
ment in the light Of publicity. In dashee
out OF her place OF waiting to shoot at the
General or the Governor, and whatever the
success of her daring may be her own fate Is
always the same. She may kill herself and
In nine cases out of ten it will never be
made known to the world just who she was.
II she DO apprehended by the police they
will make short work Of her, and it rarely
happens that they take the trouble to ascer-
tain much about her history.
She is known, Of course, to her group OF
nihilists. for among them she has nourished
her political convictions. She ia soon
known 10 the rest Of her belief over the
world after the event, and they make a
martyr Of her, hang her picture in their
bookshops and o even put it on post
cards. Yet the greater number OF them
have very little idea who she was.
The women Of the earlier days OF nihilism
had more distinguished careers so far as
their deeds might be supposed to constitute
a career. One of them is just now the hero
Inc of the nihilistic East Side. II always
has a hero. There is always a picture to
hang in the windows Of the book shops
on East Broadway or to sell from the carts
in the streets. Last summer it was the
bearded Michael Trigony who had spent

The Natives Demand Certain Comforts,
but No GewSaws.
The French desire in hotels the essentials
Of a high civilization and not the gewgaws.
Dislike Of Ostsntation Is a. strong in the
common people as in the educated.
Every one IL satisfied with a hotel that
can offer airy rooms, clean beds, with i'm
mensely long upper sheets that double
nearly the whole way over the quilts yspringy
mattresses and chimneys free from return
smoke.
The sitting room furniture may be ex-
tremely plain. Objection will not be made
in country or seaside quarters to chairs,
fauteuils and even sofas in cane.
Each meal may be served onatable covered
with a dark oilcloth. The white damask
table cloth il reserved generally for dinner.
The veriest lout requires a napkin at all his
meals.
French children are on a different footing
from English children, says London Truth.
There is no nursery in France, except in
houses wher there is snobbish Anglomania.
Nor is there a -children's dinner" either at
home or at hotels. Having company is not
a reason TO exclude the child or the one or
two children from the table Of the grown up
persons.
The disadvantage Ia that food unsuitable
to extreme youth may be sometimes taken;
but with a little management a milk soup
and a sweet entrennet may serve TO blunt the
appetite for heating dishes. The advan-
tages are that the child unconsciously imi-
tates the Manners Of the adults with whom
he dimes, and learns to express himself in a
natural manner with neat elegance.

of children. In a French family. A whole

side or country quarters in the holidays.

Mime. Kovalevskaya was n Of the most
remarkable women Of nihilism and the
wife OF a teacher in a military school. Her
propaganda had been ~peaoeable until she
was once found by chance In a house In
which the police had an experience with
aoma armed revolutionists b resisted
them. From that time on she spent her
DAYS in Russian prisons until h poisoned
herself.
Sophia Bogomoletz was h wife OF q
phvsician who had left her husband TO
preach the doctrines Of nihilism. She was
constantly under police surveillance. She
belonged to the party that believed in the
most unremitting hostility and opposition
to all government officials; nd continued
this even while in prison. Every rule was
broken and ev en- the physicians were treated

They kept him, however, and but for the
victory Of the Japanese the veteran nihilist
might still be in his Eastern prison.
This fall there is a new heroine. 1t Is
the famous Vera Figner, who has just come
out OF the prison Of SchluesseIburg. whittier
she went in 1888 to spend the rest Of her
days. She was sentenced to death, and Of
the Eve who at that time were betrayed
by a nihilist who informed on his asso-
ciates and all Of whom received the same

has come out into the world again and Is
said to be in Switzerland and is regarded
as the great woman martyr to their cause

She belongs to a German family which
had settled In Russia, become naturalixed
and taken q high place In Official circles.
She lived In q provincial town in her youth.
and as her natural benz was toward phil
anthropy she became interested In the con-
dition Of the lower Glasses. Her progress
10 socialism and then to the most advanced
nihilism was rapid. She was a OF the
few that escaped imprisonment after the
assassination Of Alexander II. and de-
terminedtto continue the propaganda when
the police were meeting with such success
in their efforts to root out the party. She
was arrested for maintaining In st. Peters
burg a secret laboratory for the manufacture
Of bombs. She went to Siberia for twenty
years, along with the most noted group OF
women nihilists hat ever figured In the
movement.
Her most intimate friend was Sophie
Won Herzfeld. also Of a German family
living in Russia. She was the daughter
OF a General and moved in court circles.
Her history was similar to most OF the
others. She had begun by trying to
