and was such as to hold him for trial.
 The supposition is that Con-gin- ey was in a religious frenzy brought on by the wild ceremonies of the medicine men, and that he believed that his death was near and that he wanted to take his wife with him into the beyond, and that he did in reality have what is called brain storm.
 This is the second murder in this vicinity within the past few months, that has resulted from superstitlons held by Indians regarding devils and witches. It will be remember ed that not long ago a murder took place to the south of here wherein a so called witch was killed by a member of his tribe. Although the Navajos live near the ciyilation of the white men. and the civilizing influence schools. missionaries and constant traffic with white people are brought to bear on them they cling with great devotion to their superstitious beliefs and all teach ings and arguments to the contrary fail to shake their belief in the superhuman powers of their medi- cine men and the existance of d evils and spirits that work them harm.

The sick tragedian lay on his couch, staring with widely opened eyes into vacancy. The doctor who had been summoned first had just arrived, and while he was removing his gloves the second doctor came into the room.
 "He mutters," said the first. "IIis mind wanders."
 "N-no, l think not" replied the attendant, bending over the pa- tient. "He spoke quite slowly and distinctly"
 "What did he say?" inquired the second.

Themistocles.

Themistocles, the hero of Sala- mis, was sent into punishment by the practice of ostracism. This was a purely Athenian device to pre- vent any citizen becoming too great. When any man acquired such prom thence as to be unsafe to the state, a number of citizens demanded a vote, which was taken by writing on shells the name of the too promi- nent citizen. If d majority voted against him, he was sent into exile not because he had done anything, but for fear he might do something. He stayed away from five to ten years, then returned and resumed his standing as citizen without loss of property or reputation. Themis- tocles was ostracized and went into exile, where he was soon accused of reasonable correspondence with the Persians. He was about to be arrested, but fled to Persia. He gained great influence at the Per sian court and projected an invasion of Greece, but died, it is supposed by poison, before his plans could be realized.

Michael Angelo.

Michael Angelo was equally great as painter, sculptor and architect. In order to paint figures properly he devoted twelve years to the study of anatomy alone. His monument to Pope Julius II. was on so grand a scale that the church of St. Peter in Rome was altered with a view to affording suitable place for it's re- ception. The tomb was afterward modified in plan and placed in an other church. His Last Judg- ment" required seven years to ex- ecute and was finished when the artist was nearly sixty-eight. A few weeks before his death the aged art ist was met one day in the street walking through the snow with great difficulty. When asked where he was going, he replied, "ro school to try and learn something"

Mr. McKinIey's Flower.

Mr. Mckinley was interested for many years in a girls school in Ohio. When he was congressman and governor of Ohio political meet ings often took him near the school, and he visited it when he could. On one of his visits he was made an honorary member of the class of '94. He was a loyal member and wore the class flower, a red carna- ton. The message of his nomina- tion for president reached the class during reunion. The girls rang the college bell and sent a telegram of reorganization and box of car nations. Another box of the class flowers was sent on the day of Mir. McKinley's inauguration. It may be that this association accounts for Mr. McKinley's fondness for the red carnation, which has come to be the 'McKinley flower" - Youths Companion.

Changing the Topaz.

Pink topazes and white sapphires are initiated to perfection and pass ed off successfully as the genuine stones. The amounts paid for some of them are considerable, varying according to size and quality. These stones are initiated by the aid of heat and require very careful ma nipulation. The pink topaz is made by heating a yellow topaz, which is not of great value, to certain tenn perature, when it gradually turns to very pleasing pink or delicate rose color. The Saxon topaz and q very pale sapphire can be made per fectly white, so as to resemble dia- monds, but are more often passed off as a white sapphire, which is also of much value. A Brazilian to- paz by the same method can be made to initiate very fine ruby.

Navajo Superstition

A few days ago a Navajo, Cho- ign-ey. who lived not far from Fort Defiance killed his wife Chah -yazz- bi-tsi. committing deliberate murder Issac Earth, the district attorney of Apache county held the examination before Justice Day at St. Michaels and the Indian was held for murder and was brought to Gallup on his way to St. Johns for trial last Mon day.
 The story of this murder is sad one. and resulted from the old super stition of the Navajos. The murder CT was a fairly we'll to do Indian and was very fond of his wife.
 He had no cause for murder and his defense is sure that he had brain storm. Up to the time of the kill ing he was perfectly sane. and with in five minutes after the crime he was in his right mind. but accord ing to his story he was insane for brief interval and during that time he killed the wife he had always shown great affection for.
 The Indian, Cho-gin-ey was, ac cording to the Navajo belief, posess- ed of devils. He had been told so by woman of the tribe. who said that devils had entered into him and that they were there and that they should be cast out. The Indian believed her. and medicine men were called to go through their ceremonies to cast out these devils.
 The weired ceremonies were held by the medicine men. the man pos sessed of devils was blackened, and the highly emotional performances were nearly completed and the devils, according to Navajo lore, were about to desert the human be- ing in whom they had taken their abode. For some reason the patient wanted to die and had asked that he be killed, but no one would kill him he then became possessed of the idea that he woulud die very soon without human agency. He left his hogan and his wife accompanied him, screams were heard and upon investigation by other Indians it was found that Con-ign-ey had kill ed his wife. The waepon used was a rock, of about IA pound weight. He had beaten her brains out, the head being almost pulp.
 His arrest soon followed and the investigation held. Indian Con- missioner Leupp was at Fort De- fiance at the time and he appointed a young man by the name of Loni- gan, law graduate, to represent the defence. The territory's evi- dence in the case was given by the mother and brother of the defendent

Criticisms of the Navy.

The American people are not now nor
are they likely to become greatly excited
over the criticisms that have been pub
lished from time to time of structural de-
tails Of the battleships of the navy For
one thing they recognize that the sub
ject is too technical for the lay judgment
to pass upon. and they have, moreover
pretty firmly rooted confidence in the
officers of the navy-staff and line. AS TO
the latter, It is perhaps just as we'll that
this happy optimism should prevail. The
navigating qualities of the battleship Meet
are now undergoing a test the results OF
which will be conclusive as to one aspect
of the question of the fitness of the yes
sells. AS to the fighting abilities of the
ships, they can only be determined in &C
tual warfare-a test which no patriotic
American is anxious to see made. No
matter what may be said by the self
qualified and self-appointed critics of the
designers and builders of our warships,
the vessels have a potential force that
cannot be questioned. and if that force.
operating morally and psychologically
shall be effective in maintaining the peace
and UNFOLDING the prestige of the country
in the waters to which they shall be sent,
that is all that the country can at present
reasonably expect.
