. To the mind of the general reader
the term Aztec conveys the idea of a
more or less misty, extinct greatness,
the Idea of a great body of aboriginal
Americans of mysterious origin who
at the time of the advent of the Span
ish had reached the acme of power and
native civilization and then nnexplaln

These problems namely, the origin
or derivation, the physical type and
physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear
.which history alone proves insufficient
have been and remain prominently
the subjects of anthropological Investi
gation, and through these Investiga
tions, in which the anthropological de
partment of the American Museum of
Natural History, New York, is taking
nn important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope that
In not a tery far future but a little
concerning the Aztecs will be left In
obscurity. One result of these Investi
gations is the knowledge that the Az
tecs of the time of the conquest are
till' represented by numerous pure
blood survivors. '-
They are scattered, but still clearly
recognizable by a student of the people,
In the suburbs of the city and in prac
tically all the sm aller towns in the val
ley of Mexico. From the valley they
can be traced southward. They are nu
merous In the districts of Amecameca,

largely mixed with the Nahuan branch
of Tlahniteca, entire villages pear and
In the mountainous country between
Cuautla and Cucrnavaca, in the state
of Morelos. In this last named region
tlJcre are In particular two large vil
lages. Tetelcingo and Cuautepcc, In
which the Aztec-Nahnan descendants
pot only speak the pure Aztec language
and know but little Spanish, but they
also preserve their 'ancient drees and
ancient way of building their dwell

tives 'are almost ' free from mixture

. To estimate the number of pure

in existence Is very difficult The Aztec

WASHINGTON LETTER
tSpadal Correapoadeso.
- Desertions from the army have
multiplied so aa to cans great anx
iety. These desertions have been so
numerous in some localities as to sug
gest the necessity of some means of
preventing this pre mature withdrawal
from the military service.
Most officers who submit reports on
the subject give reasons for the de
sertions, but no explanation appears
quite convincing. . It is certain there is
a dissatisfaction with th service. Of
course, in the case of recruits the rea
son for desertion may be attributed to
tb rea Uaatla& of th mistakes they
hav mads in enlisting, bnt losses in
the artillery, for Instance, on the Pa
cific coast cannot be explained tn that
manner. On this point General B. P.
Hughes says:
"They certainly lndlcats a lower or
der of men than those enlisted prior to
1808. It would appear to be a wise
policy to try to select recruits with
greater car now that the number re
quired has been so greatly reduced, and
with Judicious activity of recruiting of
ficers it seems possible to raise the
standard of accepted recruits by look
ing more carefully into their character
and previous course ofllfe."

The first place among American cities

in that state being $2.76, 49 cents be

1HE HANDGLASS
One day a party of English tourists
passed through Jowcuaki. In China,
and stayed long enough for one of the
ladies to lose a handglass in the Jin-
rlklaha In which she had ridden.
When Kikl Tsum, the owner of the
vehicle, saw his find, he looked It ever
Intently, snd with the most astonished
face in the world. -
"As I live," he cried, "this Is the por
trait of my dear father, dead these four
yearsr
Going home, he hid the glass in an old
pot of earthenware and said nothing
about It to his young wife.
During the next few days Kikl Tsum
labored tinder great excitement Day
and night he thought about the portrait
he had found, and frequently he left
his bed or his work to go and see If his
treasure waa still in his possesaton.
LIU Tsee, his wife, became suspicious.
"Why should he appear with an anx
ious face and leave with one steeped
in Importance?" she mused. Still later
ahe discovered that Kikl Tsum before
going out made It a point always to
remain In the little back room for a
minute or two. The key to his secret
behavior must be somewhere In that
room. LU1 Tsee made it her business
to investigate, and there was not a
piece of furniture or decoration in the
room she did not turn inside oat, but
her jrork was all In vain. Finally ahe
tnoosetrapped her husband at the mo
ment he was hiding the pot in which
She kept her rose leaves. Kikl Tsum,
like all guilty men, quickly Invented
an excuse or explanation of his carry'
ings on. He lied. The pot had stood
Pa one end only, and be had been
obliged to correct the negligence of oth
era,-
"Ah, yes, poor man!" said LIU, kiss
ing the deceiver goodby, but he had
scarcely got across the street when she
clambered upon a chair and discovered
-Whatt A mysterious something. She
lifted it with care and brought it up to
her face to examine It. Oh, cruel truth,
the portrait of a woman, and LIU bad
considered Kikl Tsum a model hus
band! The poor girl sat down upon
the floor and cried bitterly. That, then,
was the reason why be came borne so
often. The feeling of Injury gave way
to that of indignation, of wrath. Again
ahe looked for the portrait and now
wondered that Kikl Tsum could love a
woman with such a face eyes swollen,
cheeks pale and dirty and now the
eyes 'expressed rage and contempt
Lill Tsee became frightened. No; ahe
would never look at the thing again.
Then she grew despondent Life in
deed was not worth living, and as to
cooking dinner, she could not think of
it When Kikl Tsum arrived home in
the evening, he was astonished to find
neither meal nor wife awaiting him.
Searching for both, he made his way
to the back room.
"Stf that Is the way you treat your
wife after only a few months of mar
riage? Where is your fidelity, you who
are always talking about your manli
ness r
"The woman is crazy," said Kikl
Tsum to himself, and then he added
toud: "What ails you, Lill Tsee? Tell
w , . ...
we me uivauuix ui iuib uvubcuitc.
"Nonsenser! cried Lill Tsee. "Ton
hide the portrait of your paramour In
my rose pot and dare dispute its sinful
purport? Take it Watch over it car.
rv it on your heart. I don't want to
see it The monster the ugly face!"
"But I don't understand!" gasped
the husband.
"You don't don't you?" cried the lit
tle woman. "Ah, but I understand it
alL Ton love that woman in the frame."
Now it became Kikl Tsum's turn to
crow angry. "That picture," he said,
"represents my late father. I found It
some time ago fn my carriage, thinking
the gods had sent it to me. To save it
and keep it secure I placed it in the
rose pot"
"You must think me an Idiot," cried
the wife. "Have I not known your fa
tier, and am I unable to distinguish
between the face of a man and that of
a woman?" ;
: The two continued their wordy bat
tle, .which became ' more fierce every
minute, until the neighbors were
aroused. . They sent for the village
priest to restore order. The bonze
came. "My children," he said, "what
are you quarreling for? Tell me at
once, so I may try to decide who rs the
guilty party."
"Father,", exclaimed Lill Tsee, "my
husband secreted the picture of a wo
man In my rose pot. That caused all
this trouble," " V
"I swear I never possessed another
portrait but that of my sainted sire.1
And the husband raised his hands to
heaven. :vfl"y:5-'i- -,
"Children, children," said the holy
father, with much dignity, "before
decide your quarrel let me see the por
trait" :.;-.
It was handed to him, and the bonze
looked into the handglass steadily for a
minute or longer. '.Then he shook his
white head and decided in a Voice ring-
ins: with authority: "You are both in
the -wrong. ' This picture represents
venerable and holy man. It Is a won
der to me yon did not recognize the
saint in it I win take it with me and
place it among the holy relics of our
church," , " ,'"
" Then the bonze blessed the young
couple after' Kikl Tsum and LIU Tsee
had made-up and kissed and went
away praising the gods for the great
discovery he had been permitted to
make. .

Mme. Brassard, a Frenchwoman who
keeps a small corner shop at Lyons,
lays claim to. being the most noted
Alpinist of the fair sex in Europe.
This poor woman, who gains ber liv
ing by following the Kraich All tie'
troops during their maneuvers in tbe '
Alps In order to sell ber cocoa, has ac
complished during these marches some
remarkable Alpine feat a
This year she Joined the Ninety-ninth
battalion and marched with it Into
Savoy, after which she exchanged to
the Ninety -seventh, which she followed
In all Its marches. In a space of a
few days this extraordinary woman
climbed the Mont Jovct (2,000 meters),
crossed the Col de la Vanolse, which
was covered with two feet of snow at
the time, ascended Mont Frold (2,800
meters), one of the most dangerous
mountains in the French Alps; accom
panied the soldiers to the summit of
Mont Cents (2,200 meters), and finally
reached the top of the Frejua (2,700
meters), where she quitted the Ninety
seventh regiment to Join tbe grand
maneuvers In Savoy. During ber trav
els Mme. Brassard constantly carried
n basket containing nearly thirty
pounds of cocoa and her provisions,
wore ordinary shoes without nails and
was armed with an ordinary walking
etick. Many soldiers "fell out" with
fatigue during these difficult marches.
Not so Mme. Brassard, who finished up
by walking among the soldiers another
hour or two In order to sell her cocoa.
A paltry 150 francs represented the
profit at the end of the maneuvers.

The Memory of a Bee.
Associative memory, says Professor
E. G. Conklln of the University of
Pennsylvania, Is the fused impressions
of processes which occur together, so
that when one is recalled the other
comes with it. Then be adds: "There
Is no question whatever that a bee
leaving Its hive and flying for half a
mile finds its way back by associative
memory It must travel by land
marks; it cannot travel by any scent of
Itself in the atmosphere. That Is ont
of the question." Among other crea
tures giving evidence of the possession
ef associative memory, which Is the
first stage in the development of psy
chic life, Professor Conklln mentions
ants snd wasps, as well as cuttlefish,
squids and tbe higher mollusks. Birds
and many mammals show a high de
gree of associative memory.
The Joka. Flaerar Tavera.
A fire at Weston, Mass., recently de
stroyed tbe famous John Flagg tavern,
which antedated the Revolution many
years. It was here that President
Washington passed a night on his way
to Cambridge and Boston in 1780, and
in 1708 President John Adams occupied
the chamber previously that of Wash
ington. On the following day he re
ceived an address from the townspeo
ple, and his reply is still preserved in
the Weston town library. What renders
the burning of this memorable tavern
the more to be regretted la the loss by
this fire of the old colonial flag of thir
teen stars which for many years float
ed over this tavern from the date of
Washington's Visit
Leftover Wise Ear Condiment.
What becomes of the wine left in
glasses and bottles at such a function
aa the banquet of the chamber of com
merce or other great feasts? Many
persons are under the impression that
the waiters get It.' They do nothing of
the kind, because they do not get the
chance. Before the last guest had left
the Waldorf-Astoria, after a recent
feast, Oscar chef and incidentally su
perintendent of tbe wine cellars, caused
