The Spanish word for "village" rs "pue(tlo;' and so these Indians have leome to be called the Pueblos, or vil- lage Indians, There ane about ten thou- sand of thrsn in all. Juan lived wn'h leis mother and father end Jos little sister, Resits, In a house et the end of the •pueblo. In the centre of the pueblo was n. Large square, called plaza, and one long, narrow build- ing ran clear around all! four sides of the plaza, except for little places here and there to get in and out of the pue solo. The long block was partitioned off into little flats of Lira rooms each, and to each flat lived one family. On top of the first story was another row ire houses, and en some parts of the pueblo there was still a third story. rl'he people who lived in the upper lhaus's went up and down by ladders outside. The houses were made out of .adobe clay, which wets just the dirt from the plain round -about, mixed with water, shaped into bricks anel dried in the sung Juan's mother used to sprinkle Lee floor every day to keep it dump, because dl it got too dry it turned into dust. Thera was a nice little three -cornered fireplace in the front room at Juan's ho -use, and here they used to burn little Oaten logs. The pinion to almost the only tree *hat grows on the dry hills of New Mexico. 11 Its a low, spreading, ever- green tree, full of resin, which makes the wood burse with a very clear, beau- tiful light. Juan used to go out on the Its i11 and gather the dry hitt of phtlon and bring them home for the fireplace. in the long winter evenings the only Tight in the house would be from the dancing flames. A bit of wall was built nut on one side of the fireplace, so that dt cut off all cold draughts from the door, , and made a waren cosy corner by the fire. A soft old bearskin lay in front, and on this would sit a circle of men and women, Rays and girls, chatting and laughing, and telling stor- ies. They were a very gay, lighthearted 'appy people, and the old people told innumerable stories of the old days, when the animals talked and acted lake ,human beings, and when there were witches and demons and goblins of all lands about. Juan always remembered 'those stories told in front of the fire in the winter evenings. But Che greatest excitement in the ,pueblo would came when there was to be a dance.

In January they always had a buffalo dance in Juan's pueblo. This used to be a prayer for good luck when they started on their annual but - Imo leant. There are no buffalo now, but they still dance the oat dance, There are many peculiar figures in the buffak dance of which no while plan understands the exact meaning. Two little boys lake a prominent part In it, and one year Juan was highly excited when he was chosen for one of them. Long before he had learned the In- dian dance steps, has father taking him Into a quiet corner behind the hawses and teach'n,g him with great care. For the first Line now he was taken with the men into the secret roonis where they practiced for the dances. And .n the great day, when the long lines of dancing men swept down into the plaza, who so proud es Juan? Indians had come from all lee pue- blos In that ;pert of the State, and there were crowds df Mox'cans bes'd_s. Tho playa was full of people, and the roof's, first, second and third, were alt packed.

Do nut make the ntistaice of thinking that these are diseases in thennselves and be satisfied with relied for the time being. This is the way that the nerves give warning that they are breaking down.

THE PLOUGHING SEASON OBSERVANCE OF THE OPENING IN DIFFERENT REGIONS. The Romans Regarded the Seasons With Reverence—Certain Days to Plough in India. The first farmers deemed it necessary to propitiate certain powers before they ploughed and planted and to this end hestiluled elaborate agricultural festivals and ceremonials. The formal inaugura- tion of the ploughing season is very ancient and still is observed in some parts of the world. Among the Romans, teethe institution of various religious festivals connected. with agriculture, the seasons came to be regarded with a sort of sacred. reven- ence . Before the old Roman put the plough into the ground he went to• the temple of the goddess of earth, Teilus, cote of whose ,priests performed certain propitiatory rites. Vergil in his "Geor- gies° .advises the Rerun husbandman to observe the signs in heaven accord- ing to the crop he desires to produce. The time to plough for fine, barley and llle sacred poppy was when "Ballance has equalized the hours of day and steep and halves the world exactly be- tween light and shade. When Tamers ushers in the year with his gilded horns and Sirius sits facing the threatening bull is time for beans; for wheat and spelt the Plalads should hide themselves from your eyes with he dawn, Many have begun before Maria sets, but the desired crop has battled them with empty ears," But first of all the poet admonishes the farmer to "honor the gods and offer sacrifices to Ceres," CUSTOMS OF INDIA. In India there are certain days when it is unlawful to plough. Mother Earth is supposed to sleep six days In every month, and on such days she refuses to be disturbed In he slumber. In northwest India the cultivator em- ploys a puhdlt to select en auspicious time for the commencement of .plough - Ing. Great secrecy is observed. in some plums the eine selected is in the reghl, in others daybreak Le the mate - limey time.

Caution must be exercised lest the charm be broken and prospective fortune imperilled, The farmer must remain secluded during the following clay, no salt Hurst be eaten, no money, grain or are given away, Among the Karnes, before ploughing, the farmer makes a burnt offering of butter and molasses in his own field and again at 'l'iIE VILLAGE SI-IRINE. The Chinese begin ploughing 00 the first day of their solar year, Anciently the riles which were celebrated by the Chinese at ploughing lime were elabor- ate but rationalistic sovereigns eliminate ed one expensive religious rite after an- other until nettling was left except the imperial act of homage to heaven and etlrth and agriculture in the ceremon- ial ploughing.. The Siamese observe a rite called Roakua about the nllddle of May, which is preliminary to the ploughing season, end is not proper for any one le plough mobil the ceremony is over, The court *astrologers determine the time for it. 00 the day axed by them the Minister of Agriculture, who is always a prince or nobleman of high rank, goes with a procession to a .piece of ground some bPsbonce frons the capital. Where the festivities aro to lake place a new plough to which a pair at buffaloes are ycked is in readiness, decorated with flowers and leaves. The minister guides the plough over the field ebosely watched by the spee- tators, who are especially interested in the length and folds of the silk of his lower garments, because the prosperity of the season and its characteristics, wet or dry, are to be predicted from these as he follows the plough. if the robe rises above his knee there will be dis- astrous rains, If it falls below the ankles there will be a drought, If the folds reach midway between knee and ankle Um season will be prosperous. After a proper number of furrows have been turned old women strew grain of different kinds in them, and the bulls are released from the yoke and allowed to feed upon the seeds. The grain which the animals eat most free - le will be scarce next harvest and that which they refuse to take WILL BE ABUNDANT, The Germans anciently had a before ploughing ceremonial. Sods were cut Irom the four corners of the Ilekl. Up- cn these wase laid oil, honey and •barn,, mills branches of every kind of tree ex- cept oats and beech and of all name known as herbs save burrs. The whole wore sprinkled then with holy water. The four turfs were then carried to the church and placed green side toward the altar. Four masses were said ever them and they were returned to their places before sunset.. Then spells were spoken and unknown seed, bought of beggarmcn, placed on the plough. The first furrow was .ploughed whit a "flail Earth, Mother of Men, &c." From meal of every kind a large loaf was kneaded with milk and baleenand laid under the first furrow. The following curious custom Is re- corded by J, Owen Dorsey in his mono- graph 0n the sociology of the Omaha Indians: "In the spring when the grass conies tip there is a Menet] or tribal assembly held 10 which a feast is given by the head of the Range gene.
