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.

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. They give woman something to think about besides mere material necessities, enlarging their minds and making them more companionable to their husbands and brothers.—New York World. a “lady journalist*' at the Court theatre, London. The .Mythological Fates ••Noroewhere upon the uuknown shore, \Vh*r«* iho streams of ll'e their waters pour, There sit th-ee sinter*, evermore * Weaving h s Ikon ?hr«ad." 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.

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.
