Most pictureaqoe of all there gathered are the descendants of the tribes akin to the Tollecs and Aztec, those migrating people, whose first home was in the northwest before they went south to ouiowze the alleys of the Mexican plateau the Pueblo Indians from Santo Domingo and San FUipe. They are quaintly dad in their characteristic garb of leggiai and tunic, with a blanket drees for the women, and sometimes for the men a gaudy blanket wrapped about the body. Some are awaiting the train on the station pUftorm, and others, belated, are seen running toward the cars, bearing on their beads and backs the things they hare to trade. They exhibit a great variety of pottery, in the shape of vessels of divers sixes, form and patterns of decoration, and many earthen idols of infinite ugliness. They offer for sale pieces of what the New Mexican curiosity dealers call smoky topaz, which in reality is obsidian or volcanic glass, the material used by the ancieni Aztecs for cutting purposes, from swords down to razors. tht- - '' wui rvd itatutodu Wail. tnu guu Uumiuj M a t natmn About the train is a characteristio many col- lection of passengers. There are tourists, European and American commercial travelers, young men from the east going to the southwest to try their fort-nneand perhaps in the rear cars some families of emigrants. Representing the territory are merchants, miners and catn tlemen of American and descent, while opposite the blonde eastern lady, in her dainty traveling habit, may sit a dark eyed olive tinted beauty with the blood of Aragon or Castile in her veins, and perhaps a darker and not unbecoming tinge from Indian ancestry. Traveling theatrical companies, army officers and private soldiers on leave or on duty, and Indian delegations going on or returning from a visit to the great father at Washington, are current types in a southwest passenger train. Almost without exception the passengers are affable and disposed to conversation. Stiffness and reserve among fellow passengers by stage or by rail vanish west of the hundredth meridian. There is an excellent dinner, plentiful and well served, at the pleasant and roomy railroad restaurant, with so much time allowed for the stay that the traveler, after his ample and leisurely meal, is able to walk about in this barbarously brilliant scene and make bargains with the brown and worldly wise sons and daughters of the country for such of their wares as he fancies. The Pueblo Indians hasten toward any one whose eye they may catch, hold up their goods, and address him iu a language mainly aboriginal, with perhaps a few Spanish and American words intermingled, but the only part of the discourse 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, the larger girls helping their mothers by carrying the very young children in a couch made by slinging a shawl about their necks. a, of -- Dralaags. How few pf ople realize the results of extensive drainage, such as a highly civilized country presents. No inconsiderable changes are wrought by artificial drainage. Much of surface water, instead of being left to form marshes, saturate the soil or be taken up by evaporation, is carried away underground through drain pipes. Consequently the air is not so moist as formerly, and the soil, instead of being constantly chilled by evaporation, is rendered warm and genial This result has been particularly noticed in England and Scotland, where very extensive areas have been artificially drained. Holland has been, one might say, re claimed from the sea. The water has been dyked out, and many parts of the country that were the bottom of the sea are now dry land, and though below sea level form the homes of happy and industrious communities. Years ago there were along the lower banks of the Mis sissippi "drowned, lads, subject to over flow and uninhabitable, covering an area larger than the state of New York. Many of these lands have been reclaimed by means of levees. Thus, by man's ingenuity, are the surface, climate and general physical condition of the earth being changed.

The game of cards was first played in the east, and seems to have had a military origin. Cards were introduced from Asia into Europe at the time of the Crusades, and were first used by necromancers to foretell fortunes. They soon became a popular amusement in the south of Europe, where the Saracens and Moors taught the people how to use them, and card playing spread to all parts of the continent.

He mixed the clay for her, and watched with interest the unpracticed fingers doing the work that the accomplished artist had so lately finished and taken so much pride in. An hour passed with most gratifying results; the arm was restored and was perfect; the attendant was happy. Another hour the leg approached completion, when lo, the artist appeared on the scene. He took in the situation at a glance, and unnoticed by the occupants of the room watohed the work. Finished, explanations are in order and given. The artist is charmed, declares the work of restoration has added new charms to the piece, and having heard from the girl the great ambition of her life, went with her to her home and insisted that her parents should allow her an opportunity to learn the art for which she evidently bad so much inherent talent.

Oaa stokers refused to handle coal, and at length Melbourne itself was left almost for two nights. Then capital rose in indignation and took things into its own hands. Employers banded themselves together with oaths as strong as those in vogue among the workingmen's unions.

Perhaps that will be the fate of a scientific writer of our own time who has published lately bis reasons why electricity can never be used as the motive power for long distance railroads. It will be well adapted to street railways, because here it will be cheaper than horse power. The power stations and dynamos necessary to utilize it can be near enough together to make it an St'HNE(iEISBF.RG A OTCAAVOHTOS, easy matter to keep the electrical cars The Western Carriage Works. running.

These must be Heatet in the Market, of such a character as to develop many hundred times the power required to operate street railways. They would therefore be vastly more expensive than the steam locomotive engines at present in use. The railroad companies of the present day are not flinging millions abroad in dividends, as is well known, and the matter of the added expense would offer an insuperable objection. There is another equally great.' It is well known that electric currents are "kittle cattle to drive." No method has as yet been invented to make even an electric light burn steadily five consecu tive minutes at a time. If the electric mode of propulsion were adopted there would be frequent "stoppages of the entire traffic for periods varying from five minutes to several hours."

Finally the writer in question reminds his readers of a universal mistake in the popular mind in regard to electricity. It is not, as is supposed, a source of un limited power in and of itself. It is merely a manifestation of energy, a con. veniont way of applying power previous ly prod need. The radiant energy of the son stored up in coal ia transformed into power through the steam engine.
