MANY NATIONALITIES.
About the train is a characteristic col
lection of passengers. There are torn-
ists, European and American commer
cial travelers, young men from the east
going to the southwest to try their fort
nnes. and perhaps in tho reur cars some
families of emigrants. Representing the
territory are juercliants, millets and cat
tlemen of American and Spanish-Ameri
can descent, while opposite the blonde
eastern lady, in her dainty traveling
habit, may sit a dark eyed olive tinted
beauty with tho blood of Aragon or Caa-
tilo in her veins, and perhaps a darker
and not unbecoming tinge from Indian
ancestry. Traveling theatrical com
panies, army officers and private soldiers
On leave or on ilnty, and Indian delega
tions going on or returning from a visit
to tho great father at Washington, are
current types in a southwest passenger
train.
Almost without exception the passen
gers ore affable und disposed to conver
sation. Stiffness and reserve among fel
low passengers by stage or by rail vapisb
west of the hundredth meridian.
There Is an excellent dinner, plentiful
and well served, at the pleasant and
roomy railroad restaurant, with no much
time allowed for tho stay that the
traveler, after liis ample und leisurely
meal, is able to walk about iu this bar
barously brilliant scene and make lnr-
gains with the brown snd worldly wise
sons aud daughters of the country for
such of their wares as he fancies. Tho
Pneblo Indians hasten toward any one
whose eye they may catch, hold up their
goods, and address him in u language
mainly aboriginal, with perhaps u few
8pantsh and American words iuter-
iningled. bnt tlic only part of the dis
course really understood on either side is
the extemporized sign language.
They ask several prices, expecting to
be beaten down to a fair rate, and they
' seldom will let the possible customer get
away without consummating a trade.
Demure, swarthy Pueblo children look
on the transactions of their elders with
great interest, tho lurger girls helping
their mothers by carrying the very
jronng children in a conch made by
slinging a shawl aboat their necks.
INDIAN rOTTKBY.
The Indian pottery U the ware moat
purchased by the passengers. It is
quaint of pattern, and iu its way much
of it is really beautiful. The material
of which it is made is a white nr grayish
tinted clay, which the men bring to the
women, who are the pottery makers.
The Indian* guard jealously tho secret
of the places where are found the earth
that makes the choicest kinds. The
hunter, prospector or railroad explorer
coming suddenly upon these natives eu
gaged In digging clay for tho purpose is
likely to remember the terror and cun-
sternalion which they exhibit.
Tho molded pottery is Irarieil In dry
sheeps dung, which is fired,-anil thus it
is baked. The material used iu making
the strii*.d design* is a decoction from a
certain greeu root which the Indiana
call wake. It is painted upon the ves
sels, snd in the baking it tarns black.
The best pottery is made bf the Acoma,
Znni and Cocbiti Indians.
A gong clanks at the station, and
those passengers who have not already
returned to the cars discontinue their
promenade or hastily conclude their
bargains. The conductor's cry rings out,
"All aboard!” and the laggards enter the
cars; but even as the train moves slowly
off the passenger* are still making last
bargains from the car platforms and
through the windows with the aborig
ines, who at the fast approaching dis
appearance ot their possible customers
are diapoaofl at the last 'moment to close
bargain^ at almost any price. The train

ideas ou serious questions. Formerly a
member of Sorosis, Mrs*. Waketnan re
signed some years ago. finding her
household duties and family cares re
quired her exclusive attention, but now
that her children arc grown she has re
sumed her interest iu various public
questions, and besides being president
of the Society for Political Study she is
a memlRT of the Woman’s Suffrage
league and the Ladies* Heulth Protective
association, and. with other energetic
philauthropu^women, !i; trying to
form a bureau of justice for the purjjose
of having women present at the trial of
women in court.
T’.e bureau when fully organized will
hire resfH*etable women to be present on
these occasion?*, so that no woman will
l>o tried alone without one sympathizing
woman bv her side. Mrs. Wakeman is
a member of the old Lmlluin family that
has lived on the same land at Oyster
Day, L. !.. for about SJOO years. Since
her marriage she has lived in this city,
part of the time in Harlem, but she now
lives in a cozy, homelike house in West
Nineteenth street. She has three chil
dren—a married son and two daughters,
one of whom is a clever artist. Mr. T.
B. Waketnan is a brilliant lawyer, and
takes an active interest iu the scientific
temperance question, and is a member
of the Nineteenth Century club.
Mrs. Wakeman 1ms a sweet, bright
face, with deep earnest eyes and dark
hair that is just beginning to turn gray.
She is an earnest advocate of clubs for
women, and says that she wishes every
woman might belong to at least one.

The .Mythological Fates

Lovers of classic paintings aro familiar
with that famous group, called the
“Three Fates.” Fate seems cruel when
it deprives women and girls of health.
But in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
they find a cure of untold value for
nervous prostration, sick headache, bear
ing-down pains, bloating, weak stomach,
anteversion, retroversion, and all those
excruciating complaints that make their
lives miserable. All who use It praise it.
It contains no hurtful ingredients, and is
guaranteed to give satisfaction in every
case, or its price($1.00)will be refunded.
The Troy Press seems to have a grudge
against Joan of Arc, and insist that she

view is that the electric maid was tho

(ilofn end Veil*.
Will gloves go back to the Renaissance
for styles, as the cloak baa done? Yon
know they wore these gloves all covered
with embroideries and precious stones;
the enff, widening as it reached the arm,
was an incrustation of gold and silver
and precions setting* It was a heavy
gauntlet, not a glove. It is not likely
that these will take, as we say in fashion
parlance. Women will have the good
taste to ding to the plain kid glove,
which shows the perfect shape of the
hand. The bnttoned glove is now in as
tnnch favor as the mnsqnetaire. It is
owing to the very long sleeves worn with
every gown, except with full dress.
The tan colors are worn less and the
light shades more. Did you not often
wonder where tho kid skins come from
to make all the kid gloves in the world?
When I see the mountains of gloves sold
at the Lonvre and the Ron Marche in
the bargain season I wonder if there
isn’t a way of manufacturing skins, or
If there are not kids which, like sheep
who are sheared every year, can la-
skinned and have a skin grew on again
for next year's flaying.
Veils are no longer worn down to the
tip of the nose, bnt all over the face.
The kinds of tnlles und nets sold for veil
ing are innumerable. The beauty sjiot
veiling is the most becoming; not the
spots, bnt tho netting itself. Everybody
wears it here. Tlten there is faucy net
ting, studded with steel, gold and silver
beading and espanglcs. Homo of them
are as thick as the old fushioned Chan
tilly veil which car grandmothers wore.
French women have never taken kindly
to tho white veil. They are one of the
indications by which we single ont a
foreign woman. Nor do they incase the
front hair with an illusion to keep it
down or to keep tho ringlets from un
curling. That, I think, is on American
fashion.—Paris Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.
Columbia College Certificate, for Wontn.
Under the dir£tion of the school of
arts ot Columbia college examinations
will bo held at Barnard college from
June 1 to 6. These examinations will
bear the same relatiun to Columbia and
Barnard colleges which tho Harvard
university examinations for women bear
to Harvard college and the “Harvard
annex.” They will ho identical with tho
examinations for admission to the fresh-
wwi classes of Columbia and Barnard
colleges, and will be held at the same
time and place and on tho same terms of
notification.
The certificates granted wjll be of two
kinds. Ti> a candidate who passes satis
factory examinations in at least three
subjects a certificate will be given,
signed by the dean of tlio school of arts.
To a candidate who passes satisfactorily
the whole examination a certificate will
be given, signed by the president of Co
lumbia college.
It is believed that these examinations
will be of great valuu and nssistauce to
the schools for girls in New York and its
neighborhood, as a means of proving the
thorough work done in them by both the
teachers and pupils. That the faculty
of Columbia college hat e decided to offer
them has been due chiefly to the effort*
and expressed wishes of tha teachers in
several of the larger schools for girls iu
New York city.—New York Commercial
Advertiser.
