What is a Creole?

Mr.. Cables long promised historical
sketches ON old New Orleans are be-
gun in the January Century with an
Illustrated answer to the query,
Who are the Creoles ?" in part as fol-
lows;
Even in Louisiana the question would
be ~variously answered. The title did
not here first belong to the descendants
Of spanish, but of French settlers. But
such II meaning implied a certain ex-
c~ellence of origin, and so came early to
include any native, Of French or Span
ISL descent by either parent, whose nom
alliance with the slave race entitled
him to social rank. Later, the term
was adopted by-not conceded to--the
native Of mixed blood, and is still used
among themselves. At length the
spirit of commerce saw the money
value of so honored IA title, and broad
ened its meaning to take IN any Great
ure or thing Of variety OF manufacture
peculiar to louisiana that might be-
come an Object of sale, as creole ponies,
chickens, cows, shoes, eggs, wagons,
baskets, cabbages. negroes, etc.
Yet the creOles proper, will not share
their distinct, 81 with the worthy "Aca-
dram" He is a creole only by courtesy,
and in the second person singular. Be-
sides French and Spanish, there are
even, for convenience Of speech, "color-
ed creoles; hut there are no I~taliar,
or Sicilian, or any English, Scotch, Irish
or "Yankee" %creoles, unless of parent
age married into, and themselves thor
cuglIly ~pr0selyted in creole society.
Neither Spanish nor American domi-
nation has taken from creoles their
French %vernacular. This, also, is part
of their title; and in fine, there seems
to be more serviceable definition of the
ereoIes OF Louisiana than this: that
they are the, Frehchspeaking, native,
ruling class. Abjl44I ~
There is no need to distinguish be-

Mines of New Mexico.

The mines of New Mexico are under
going the process of development, and
The era of production is at hand. 1t
must be remembered that the territory
has until recently been so circumstance
ed that but comparatively little work
bias been possiblein most of its sections.
There are, of course, many good pro-
ducing mines in New Mexico now, but
few of them however are a year old,
and the number is not Il fourth as
large as it will he one year from now.
That New Mexico has plenty of good
mineral territory is beyond question.
Lake Valley and Kingston have as
tonished the world; the Black Range
is coming toithe front with some mag
niicent mines; the M%agdalenas are
rich in extensive silver leades; Lin
coin county, while perhaps as little
prospected as any section, has alreidy
some good mines with numerous prom
ising prospects; Carbonateville, Ger

to produce largely, and many other Sec

best results. New Mexieo's production

There are now fringes of feathers with

Feeding Fowls i'm Winter.

There is no end to the advice as TO the
proper food for fowls in the winter sea-
son with a view to the production of
eggs. Nearly every experienced raiser
has method of his own, and no doubt
they all possess more or less merit.
That some animal food is necessary in
cold weather is an old idea. and is fol-
lowed by all who desire a good crop of
eggs; and this fact is established from
tie fondness of chickens for insects
when they are in season. That corn is
staple food for fowls in all it's forms
well known and is adopted by every
experienced raiser. Some make the
meal into mush; some soak the whole
grains and place it where the fowls can
obtain it at all times; and some again
burn or char the corn on the cobs and
throw it into the poultry house for the
fowls to help themselves whenever their
health may need it. In cold weather it
is common practice with chicken rails
ers to give the fowls in the morning a
soft, warm feed, say of corn-meal mush,
accompanied with an onion chopped up
as preventive of disease. Grease, in
the way of drippings. mixed with the
mush is excellent and causes the hens
to lay and at the same time keeps them
well in flesh. In fact, if one expects
profit from hens in winter, when eggs
generally sell at two prices, they must
provide good, comfortable houses, ex-
pc ed to the southwest, good laying
boxes, plenty of rOosting poles, sand, or
soft soil to scratch in, access to Jumps
of pounded bones, salt. fresh water
twice day that freezing up may not
interfere injurously against supply of
water whenever needed. Corn being
the food most relied on. there should at
all times be trough of it of the whole
grain in order that the fowls may help
themselves whenever in want.-Ger-

Prices or Pearls.

Although pearl weighing one
grain is wor h only about one-cighth of
the price of diamond of the same
weight said a jcweler, lit is very easy
TO spend a large amount of money for
pearl iewclrv. There is now in this city
n, pearl necklace worth 100000. |
have seen another worth S23,0OO, and
one was recently sold for $4,000.
These large prices are caused by the
difficulty of obtaining particular sizes
and colors that may be wanted. The
most expensive collection of pearls on
record is that owned by the Countess of
Dudley in England, VIII ch is far more
valuable than the celebrated pears be-
longing to the Queen. The tountess
has coronet of pearls. The top is
composed of pcar-shaped pearls. There
is n very large one in the center, and
the others are graduated in size down
10 the smallest. In order to get these
pear-shaped pearls in the requisite sizes
and colors the jewellers were OBLIGED to
buy such an enormous quantity of
pearls that when the famous necklace
was completed with earrings, brace
let's, brooch and finger rings to match,
the jewellers had $50, 900 worth of odd
pearls left! A pair of matched pear
shaped pearls weighing 10 grains was
recently sold in San Francisco for SO 900.
/ sold one pair of off-color craggy and
gibbous pearls for $3.50, and have one
pair worth S1,S0O.
"When the Princess ROYAL of England
married Frederick William of Prussia
she received a necklace of thirty-two
pearls costing 500, 600. In 1889 the
French Government possessed pearls
valued at S200, 1000. One that weighed
los cara'S was valued at : 5000. Two
that were pe0r-Shaped were valued at
500, 800.
"The black pearls bring very high
prices az present. but genuine pearls
may be bought that are white. pink, or
gray. The peculiar co'or which is called
pearl is a sort of transparent drab.
There is at present greater demand
for pearls, as there is in fact for all
kinds of iewelry. than has been known
for long time. Tho plentifulness OF
limitations does not appear to de,troy
the val e of the genuine article. Some
idea OF the increased alue of pearls may
be Gathered from two est mates made

made in l15l by David Jefrics, of Lon
