EXPECT DEITY TO COME BACK
Why Pueblo Indians Place Great Inn
portance on the PsrpetuaHon
OF tho Holy Fire

Among many Of the religious forms
Of the Pueblo Indians, perhaps the
most interesting was the perpetuation
Of the holy fire, by the side Of which
the Aztecs kept a continual watch for
the return to earth Of Quetza1coatl-
the god Of Air-who, according to
their tradition, visited the earth and
Instructed the Inhabitants In agricul-
ture and other useful arts. During
his sojourn he caused the earth to
yield ten-fold productions, without the
necessity of human labor. Every
where corn, fruit and flowers delight
ed the eye; the cotton-plant pro-
duced Its wool already dyed by ma
ture with various hues, aromatic doors
pervaded the air, and on all sides
.resounded the melodious notes Of
singing birds.
Quetzalcoatl embarked In his boat
of rattle skins, on the Gulf Of Mex
leo, and as he was seen to steer to
the eastward, his arrival was conse-
quently looked for from that quar-
ter. When the Spaniards arrived
from the east, as they resembled the
god In the color Of their skin, they
were at first generally supposed to
be the messengers from, or descend
ants of, the god of the air.

Short Story Of the Almond.

Almonds come from Morocco and
the Mediterranean countries general
ly, although Spain makes a considera-
BILE contribution. They r gathered
at various minor points through the
African country and brought by camel
to Mogardo, which Is the export CEN
Ter. Here they are weighed and q rec
ord made Of the quantity and quality
for reference when the settlement Is
made. They are tested for the per
centage Of bitter almonds by an In
spector who bites the end off and
elects the piece. for the bitter almond
contains a certain amount Of poison.
The next operation Is sitting. which
is done by a native squatting beside a
pile of the nuts and performing the
operation by hand, at which he be-
comes very deft, great speed being &C
CURED by practice. The sacks de-
for export are blessed" by the
natives with a sort Of q chant.

Believe Spot Center Of Earth.

Near the town of Zuni, in New Mex
leo, there is a stone shrine, erected
on the plain, which in the Zuni con-
ception, marks the center Of the world,

naturally enough, that the earth Is fiat.
