are like those of other horses and not
growing to the knees as are represent
ed in some books. The eye, probably
from being constantly on the watch,
is larger than the eye of the domestic
horse, and even when tanned, the eye
remains a distinct mark Of the horses
origin. Wild horses when captured
or tanned are superior to other horses
of the same size. Many of them are
used by the cowboys, and others are
broken to harness and driven as car
riage horses, being entirely trust
worthy.

The Way they Caught him

"What struck you most during
your travels last SUMMER" asked the
pastor.
"Well," the deacon replied, in a
musing way, :" he couldn't just exactly
say. He rather thought the sleeping
car porter struck him the oftenest, but
the waiter struck him for the biggest
stakes"
And the poor, bewildered pastor
only sighed and said, Ah," inquir-
ingly, and wished that he had more
intellectual companionship in his yoke

Opening Letters.

The art of opening letters addressed
to other people and refastening them
SO that no one will know, is profes-
sion in Spain. In the postofice they
have a dark chamber, where experts
inquire into things, and these have
long since given up the use of steam
for opening gummed communications.
Even red-hot platinum wire for letters
sealed with wax is out of date. The
favorite means is with knife sharper
than razor, which is run along the
bottom of the envelope. The letter
having been extracted and then re-
placed after the officials of the post
Office have learned what is going on,
fine line of liquid cement is drawn
along the opening, the slightest pres
sure conceivable is applied, and the
letter is as whole as ever.

The swift little needle flies;
For always between her and idleness

At tasks that never are finished;
For mending is never done.

And skillfully knits in the heel, a4l
And smooths the seams with tender touch
That he may no roughness feel;
And her thoughts to her merry girlhood
And her early wifehood. go, ~
And she smiles at the first pair OF stockings
She knit so long ago.
Then she speaks to a little maiden
Learning to knit at her side,
And tells her about those stockings

And after awhile you'll learn to knit

She takes up little white apron,
And thinks of the woeful face
OF her darling when she came crying:
"Oh, mamma, I've torn my Lace"
So she mended the child's pet apron;
Then took up tiny shoe,
And fastened stitch that was broken,
And tied the ribbon of blue.
The maiden was wearied of working
And gone away to her play;
The sun in the west is sinking
At the close OF the quiet day.
Now the mothers hands are resting
Still holding stocking of red.
And her thoughts in the twilight shadow
To the far off future have fed.
"Oh, where will the little feet wander
before they have time to rest?
Where will the bright heads be pillowed
When the mothers loving breast
Is under the springs blue violets,
And under the summer grass,
When over her fall the autumn leaves,
And tho storms of winter pass
And q prayer from her heart she utters
"God bless them, my dear ones all
Oh, may it be many, many years
Ere sorrow to them befalli"

She turns with heart at rest;
For she knows that to husband and child

She is always the first and the best.

Thoughtlessly the maiden sung,

From her girlish, gIeeful tongue;
Sang rs little children sing
Sang as sing the birds IN june;
Fell the words like bright leaves oo""
On the current of the tune
Rock of Ages, cleft tor me.
Let me hide myselfin Thee"
"Let me hide myself in Thee"
Felt her soul no need to hfde;
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from her lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that each might be
on some other lips prayer:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,'-
Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did knows
Rose the song rs storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable q prayer.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages. cleft for me-"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown o'm
"Let me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling through the voice, and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully.
Like river In its 1low,
Sung as only they can-sing
Who lffe's stonny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock of Ages clefffor me.
Let me hide myself iR Thee"
Rock OF Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung abovefa coffin-lid;
Underneath all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, o storm tossed souli
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore, from billow'sro

Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye. still the words would be,

LIFE IN TEXAS.

A STATE so COSMOPOLITAN THAT THE
GOVERNORS MESSAGE IS PRINTED IN
-FOUR LANGUAGES.
This State differs so materially from
her sisters that everything concerning
her must be interesting. Vivid con-
trasts meet you on every side, arising
from the varied elements of the pop
ulation. Of course the English or
Anglo-American race is predominant.
The Germans are numerically second,
the Spanish or Mexicans third, and
the Bohemians fourth. So well repre-
sented are the three nationalities last
named that the Governors message
and State laws are printed in four
languages, in about this ration: 80,
900 copies in English, 10000 copies in
German, 5000 each in Spanish and
Bohemian. Hence four tongues are
legally recognized, and there are four
distinct styles Of living to be studied
on the soil. Add to these the Dagoes,
an entirely seperate nationality. They
are Italians and Minorcans, who are
almost exclusively engaged in fishing
and in the oyster and fruit trade.
They make strange jargon out OF
our vernacular, totally dissimilar, but
quite as queer as the pigeon English
of the Chinese. These last, sparsely
represented, confne themselves to the
occupation of oflaundering, with the ex.
ception of a few laborers on the rail-
roads. Yet in spite of their small
number, SO rapidly does vice gain
ground, their presence has worked evil,
for in every large city of Texas the
police have had to raid upon opium
dens.
The Mexicans scattered throughout
the towns are thrifty and industrious.
and generally quiet and d>well behaved.
They can live on mere pittance, and
are contented as long as they can
have their cigarettes and coffee.
Many of them earn their living by
making and selling "Tamales" and
"Chile con carne," two modes of pre-.
pairing meat which are appetiziug in
the extreme. They manufacture, too,
delicious candy-''nueces Dulces"-
out of pecans and sugar, which they
sell upon the streets and from door to
door. Their homes and habits are
rich in the picturesque, and would
present some rare subjects for the
painters art. The old Dutch masters
would hove loved to perpetuate this
scene: A low-roofed wooden shanty,
bare pine table, and long bench, on
which set three noted politicians, tax
ing an evening lunch and concocting
plans for the dear peoples benefit
One is fair skinned and ruddy-haired
showing his Irish blood one typical
American, the third a French Cana.
dian. Each has steaming platter ol
'Chile con carne." Behind him
stands the Mexican host-tall, dark
dignifed, and grave, yet watchful
They are four perfectly contrasting
types. Over them flicker the dim
rays cast by an oil lamp, deepening
the shadows, throwing half lights into
the obscurity Of the corners. A tiny
hairless Mexican dog sits motionless
on the door step, while the sign, writ.
ten in both English and Spanish,
swings creakingly above his head
Outside the darkness is pierced by
long shafts of colored light that stream
through the stained windows Of the
Jewish temple and by the pale glim-
mer of lamp in the street car waiting
at switch.
