1t is certainly easier to breed par

a particular variety of children. Pigeons
run in more simple grooves of hcredity;
they do not put forth so many variations
as human beings do; it is easier. there

results. In man. complex organic be-
ing as he is, the law of inheritance of
like qualities is largely modified by law
of variation. The son is not the image
Of his father, or of his mother, nor is he
a simple inheritance-thati is, of like be-
getting its like. 1t is not possible to
predict what will be the sext, mental
qualities and bodily features of the
child of two persons whose characters
are known very well. nor so much as
to tell what its sex will be. Solomon,

resembles one parent in bodily features
may not resemble it in mental character.
Nor have the halves of double monsters

Why Ice-Water is Bad.

And now a few words as to the bey-
erages to be taken. Americans are a
dyspeptic people: they drink muck iced
water at meals, ergo, iced drinks at
meal times are bad! They may be
when carried to excess; this is not de-
MED. But iced drinks are not the
cause OF the widespread dyspepsia in
the United States. There are other po-
tent factors in action. Iced drinks are
very grateful 10 the thirsty. but too
much indulgence therein produces u
torturing thirst; as the person who in
dulges in eating snow in the Arctic re-
gions discovers quickly. just as snow
balling causes the hands first to feel
cold and then to glow with heat if con-
tinued; SO the constant application of
an iced fluid to the fauces, at first grate-
full, becomes a source of intense dis
comfort; for the blood vessels are first
contracted and ultimately paralyzed,
and then the fauces glow with. warm
blood, like the skin of the snowhaller's $
hands.
Iced fluids are not desirable for dys-
pepsia, to say the least of it. Ordina-
rily at dinner, the ice-pudding is fol-
lowed by glass OF liquor-'to correct
it.. A certain temperature is requisite
for digestion, and too much cold is un.
desirable. DIR. FothergiN on 1,,diges-

First spaniards in New Mexico

1t was to certain survivors of the i'll
fated expedition of Narvaz to Florida
that the world was indebted for its
first information as to New Mexico
Narvaz, with Il few hundred Spanish
followers, landed at Tampa bay, Florida,
in 1923. His experience with the coun-
try and the natives did not encourage
him to make protracted stay in that
region; indeed, it became question
with him soon how to escape from 1t as
best he might with those of his follow
ers who had survived fighting, hunger,
and disease. With infinite difficulty the
Spaniards constructed rude boats and
attempted to coast along the gulf until
they should reach the Spanish settle
ments of Mexico. One of these boats
was commanded by Spanish cavalier
of renown, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Va
ca, who became the first explorer of
New Mexico. His boat was cast ashore
with one other on low island off the
coast of Louisiana. OF the Spaniards
thus shipwrecked a few only survived
the exposure and hunger which ensued.

four Others gained the mainland. and,

emerged into Mexico and reached the
town of Culiacan in 1887, about eight
years after his shipwreck. Vaca lived
familiarly with more than one of the
native tribes of New Mexico, and his
account Of them and the climate and
productions of the country leaves no
doubt as to his having been within the
present boundaries of the territory for
several years, and there are those in
the territory now who bear his name

An Indian Weddinp

A tourist in Dakota recently attended
an Indian wedding, and describes it in
letter to The Boston TrnueAer. He
says that there was large tent, with
the front opened. and row of stakes
covered with canvas, making fence
upon each side leading to it. Outside
was quite small tent, trimmed with
all kinds of pretty feathers, and over
the door wildcats skin trimmed with
beads and porcupine quilts. In the
large tent, back in the center. against
very gay curtain, sat a young girl, a
half-breed. not moro than Is years old,
dressed in skirt and jacket with bright
buttons and boar's teeth, her hair long
and black and falling in front, while a
wreath of feathers on her head COM
pleted her wedding outfit All around
were ornaments, and yards of pink.
red, and yellow calico as drapery. and
on a little green trunk near the bride
sat the old chief wrapped in buffalo
robe, looking like great bear.
Along on one side of the tent sat the
women and girls, and upon the other
side the men-young and old. The,
were all painted frightfully and wore
dreadful ornaments, bright blankets
and feathers. and most of the men had
on but little clothing. Near the middle
of this group were piled the provisions
of the feast-meat, bread and boiled
corn.
The ceremonies began with the old
chief drumming upon drum and max
ing shout and noise like an animal
He then rose and walked around the
girl several times, got on his knees,
and again walked around her, knocked
her from side to side, then smoothed
her hair, gave her something that he
called medicine, then took dish ano
placed it before her, knelt down and
took p sip OF what was in it, as she did
also. He then stood up, went through
with some mumblings over her head
and then began to pass the feast, first
to the women and then to the men.
The girl took off her gay outside robe.
and it was given to her mother. I'm
derneath she had n short blue dress
which was taken off, and when the eat
ing was concluded the poor little cir
skipped ont of the tent in little plai,
pink calico dress, and, with bare feel
and legs, looking frightened and cold,
went to her own tent all alone. Thel

The Italian MOSQUITO.

1t is a curious fact that the American
mosquito seems to be almost the only
one known to entomologists. What
loads of abuse have been piled on tho
backs of those that sing and sting
along the Mississippi. Ohio. and Sacra-
mento rivers. Yet these pests are
found about the Mediterranean and
Adriatic in numbers that would shame
the slender hordes in American cities.
Stone walls cannot exclude them. and
their bite is as vcnomous as that of a
3rattlesnake. Pasteur should turn his
attention to the subject and by intro
ducing a mild form of poison into the
blood by inoculation counteract the
bite and so make himself name that

Shaker Hollow.

Notwithstanding the labors of Rev.
Moses Crawford. for which, bye the
bye, he is paid $50 Il year, the morals
of Shaker Hollow are not exactly those
of the early church. Some of the most
frightful murders ever gloated over by
the readers of the sensational weeklies
have taken place in this ncighborhood.
Suicides in the most hideous form-one
old man discmbowled himself while
hanging from beam-are not uncom-
mon. There are very few households
that do not contain child or two con-
| corning whose parentage there are
very queer doubts. Snuff-taking is
practiced even by young girls, while
the language that daily greets ones
ears is unequaled in profanity by any
thing employed by drunken cowboys.
| 1t is not so much that the expressions
used are so horrifying as that the ex-
| pletives are SO constant and abomin-
ably useless. Some of the more decent
EXPLANATIONS are, it is believed, unique.
Such, for instance, are "Dod bur ii, !"
by Godfrey" s'help me John Rog-
ers, ''By mighty" Sol to gracious,
and others equally senseless and ele-
giant. The ordinary conversation of
the people is study. 1t is something
more than coloquialistic, and as much
requires glossary as one of SCOTS

you are not accustomed are tedyus;
''dreen" is to drain; "yen" is yonder;
a ''fraycass' is q disturbance; wen

nreak1ng . Cols,to Che ualter.

If the colt endeayors to pull away af
ter the halter is on, you have to circum-
vent him by little strategy. Take
common clothes-linc rope and make a
Aafge slip-lcop knot around the body,
drawing it moderately tight and pass
the end up between the front legs
through the halter. The reason for do
ing this is very apparent. He cannot
understand how anything can pull the
hind part of his body and his head at
the same time; and on feeling the strain
behind he will go forward. and thus
you will accomplish your object with.
out being compelled to use force. TAX
ing this rope in the right hand and
standing directly in front of the colt,
say, in q decided manner, Come here!"
and at the same time pull the rope
sharply. The colt will invariably move
forward, and when he does so, caress
him. Repeat this two or three times,
until he will quickly move forward
then say, Come here!'
Next, with the rope hitch him to the
manger or to u post, and, standing in
front of him, open and shut umbrellas,
shake buffalo robes and beat tin pans
in fact, make rs much noise as possible
without touching him. OF course he
cannot think of two things at once,
and the rope tied around him behind
catches him by surprise, and he will
end by giving up trying to get away
when he finds that he is freer from pair
when he is quiet and still than wher
jerking his head. For very nervous

possible around the body. This treat.
ment can be applied until he is thor
