Beautiful Women Who Dance and Dream
Their Lives Away.
Paraguay is almost fairyland o.
romance. The native portion OF the
population is q remnant of the tribe Of
Guarani Indians, one Of the Hottest in
the grade of civilization of all the
American race. But nothing astonishes
the visitor to Paraguay as much as the
vast preponderance of the female over
the male population. The proportion
is something like nine to one.
A long fierce war in which the natives
followed and supported cruel and ambi.
tious ruler through indescribable hard.
ships and sufferings,. reduced the whole
population to about one-sixth of what il
was twenty years ago. leaving only
women and boys. These women are as
beautiful and fair to look upon as can
be found in any part of the world.
They are of medium height, rather
slim and 1.-the. with finely nodded
limbs, small pretty hands and feet and
figures of matchless grace and beauty
that would serve for models of the sculp.
tors art. Their carriage is so easy
and natural as to be almost the poetry
of motion, for the freedom from high.
heeled boots and tight-clothing has left
their step light, supple and strong.
The dress is of the simplest form-a
short tunic Or robe, not unlike skirt,
falling to below, the knees, and a shout.
der covering, not unlike a shawl, both
of pure white, and adorned with pretty
native lace
They are gracefully worn and be-
witchingly serve to half reveal and hal
conceal the form beneath. In the mid
day siesta they are fond of lying Ian.
guidly in their hammocks, slipping thei,
mate and singing in their low, swee
voices. Possessed of languid, voluptu
Gus natures, that are fostered by the
climate, what else should they do save
love and dance and sing? Dancing i!
their only pastime, and into that they
throw the whole spirit of their joyou:

GIRLS ON HORSEBACK.
How the Knack of Riding Is Taught to a

The base for all riding lessons for
beginners is the safety and careful
training OF the horses. Only horse

and disciplined nerves can bear with

block, and rider has only to sit doyu
with little spring to be in her place.
but there are something like one hum

little spring and take it exactly wrong
before she is in the saddle. Then it
takes an artistic arrange a girls skirt
and two grooms to hold the horse
while it is done. When she doesn' t
forget to unlock the little loop that
holds her dress in the back she sits
down squarely on the fullness that
should go over the pommel, or gets SO
helplessly wound up in the skirts that
no one but the tifteen-puzzle man can
ever get her out alive. Her saddle is
never exactly right, her stirrup either
too long or too short. and she fidgeta
and fuses and nestles and giggles and
gets pink in her cheeks and lot OF
imprecation and profanity in the heart
OF the groom before she is finally sat-
istied and rides into the ring, only to
come back again in nine cases out OF
ten for. another horse or saddle or
something.
Mounting from the ground is a vet

few trials end in disaster. One hand

waist. her foot in his hand and then
count one, two, three, and she springs
only to land where she least expects,
while the horse quivers and shivers in
patient submission and bears it.
The favorite mode of riding is after
the English style, and the master rides
round and round with the pupil, cor.
recting, criticising her position, and
suggesting such ideas as she may find
beneficial. Suddenly, without warn

away they go, :his~hand@ underneath

LEARNED PROFESSIONS.


Why Young Men, Unless Specially Gifted,

We Americans are free and equalists

sands of American fathers educate
their sons to become lawyers and doc
tors because they consider the profess
sions of law and physic more '.genteel''
than any mechanical trade. Hence
there is always a glut of physicians
and "counselors'' in the market, more
than half of whom live in a state of
genteel perjury, with small prospect of
leaving behind them when they die
assets enough to cover their debts and
funeral expenses.

these days, a man must have extraor-
binary talent, Or else be unusually
fortunate in his business connections.
Many good lawyers, well read, shrewd
and persevering, fail to acquire COM
petence: For young men of mediocre
abilities, who have no controlling bust
ness connections, there is barely a
chance to earn a hand-to-mouth. liveli-
hood in the legitimate walks. of the
profession, and there are hundreds of
attorneys, of low mental and moral
caliber, who, to save themselves from
being starved out of the profession,
resort to system of "sharp practice, :"
which is only one degree less rascally
than pocket-book dropping and patent
safe swindling.
1t is the same in the healing art A
few eminent physicians and surgeons
great pathologists and bold and sue
cessful operators command enormous
fees and accumulate wealth rapidly.
A large number support their families
comfortably by their practice, laying
up little or nothing, however, for a
rainy day; while a still larger proper
ton either hover on the s7verge of
pauperism, or resort to qu&ckery, or
worse than quackery, for q living. Yet
multitudes OF young men, very moder-
ately supplied with brains,s and with
their small modicums ofsintellect by no
means overstocked with knowledge,
are continually shouldering their way
into the temple of Galen, regardless of
the fact that there is scarcely standing
room for the present occupants.
The clerical calling, too. has it's full
share of mediocrity and the grade be-
low. Men who have not the gift to
teach any thing well. though they as
sumo to teach their fellows the way to
Heaven, are by no means rare among
the clergy.
All the liberal professions are over
stocked. We have a broad country,
and fruitful soil, which, as a general
thing, pays better for cultivation than

FIRST DISCOVERIES.

| Historical Facts About the Hawaiian
| Islands Not Generally known.
1t is not generally known that the
Sandwich group is Identical with a
cluster of islands discovered by the
Spanish navigator, Gaetan, in 1912,
and by him named The Kings
Islands. y These the Spaniards placed
IN the tenth, although the Sandwich
Islands are near the twentieth degree
OF north latitude, which La Perouse, a
celebrated author, concludes unhesi-
tatingly to be a mere clerical error.
The difference in ongitude-sixteen
or seventeen degrees-he ascribed to
the imperfect means of determination
possessed by the early navigators, and
to their ignorance OF the currents of
the Pacific.
Allowing for the mistake in latitude,
the Kings Islands are evidently the
same as those found on some charts.
about the nineteenth and twentieth de-
grees of north latitude, under. the
names of La Mesa, Los Magos and La
Diograciada, which Captain Dixon, as
we'll as La Perouse, sought for in vain
in the longitude assigned to them.
They appear to have been introduced
into the English and French charts
from that, found in the galleon taken
by Commodore Arson, and of which
a copy is given in the account of his
voyage.
Cook, or Lieutenant Roberts, the
compiler of the charts to his third
voyage, retained them; and La Pc
rouse was the first to erase them from
the map.
There can, indeed. be little doubt of
their identity with the Sandwich ISL
ands. But although Cook was not act
ually the first European who had WIS.,
tied these islands, TO him rightly be-
longs all the glory of their discovery.
Forgotten by the Spaniards, mis-
placed on the chart a thousand miles
too far to the eastward, and unap-
preached for 240 years, their existence
utterly unknown and unsupported,
Cook was, to all intents and purposes,
their real discoverer. Golden DAYS.

Ordinarily, the very sin about
which men are most sensitive is the
very one which demands attention and
exposure. The place in the body that

demands most clearly the surgeons art

Moderate work, alternating with
moderate rest, gives a brain which,
taking the whole life through. will ac-
kcomplish the most and the best work
of which a human being iss capable.
The brains are to be improved and
developed by reasonable exercise and
reasonable rest. The one is as essen
tial as the other.
Beauty hath it's charms, but the
charms of gracious manners far out
weigh them. The manners that ex-
press a kindly, sympathetic heart,
open to the influence Of another per-
sonality as the flower to the sun, and
as unconsciously giving back it's own
fragrance, are a gift that far outshines
physical graces.
The greatest moral effects are like
those OF music-not wrought out by
sharp-sided intellectual propositions,
DIT melted in by a divine fusion, by
words that ;,ave mysterious Indefinite
ness, fullness of meaning, made living
by sweet voices, which seem to be the
out-throbbing of angelic hearts.
To be vain is rather mark of HUI
mility than pride. Vain men delight
in telling what honors have done them,
what great company they have kept,
and the like; by which they plainly
confess that these honors were more
than their due and such as their friends
would not believe if they had not been
told; whereas a man truly proud thinks
the honor below his merit, and scorns
to boast.
What makes saintliness, in my
view, as distinguished from ordinary
goodness, is certain quality of mag
namity and greatness of soul that
brings life within the circle of the he
roic. To be really great in little things,
to be truly noble and heroic in the in
sipid details of everyday life, is vir-
tue so rare as to be worthy of canoni-

information.
Ha says: mo part Of Montana is being
developed "a rapidly as Great Falls and
vicinity. Fne output OF coal at Sand Cou.
lee is 1000 tons per day. Within two
months it will be 1.aOO tons daily. The
Bell Mountain railway will be completed
next spring and as a result Great Falls will
get an immense ore and merchandise traf.
fic. The extension also OF the Maplt 9ba
railroad westward from Great Falls will
add much to the confidence
Of investors in this place, as
it will be the most prominent point
on the main line. The western shops Of
the Manitoba railway are soon to be To-
Gated here, and this alone will add 5000
people to Great Falls. Our town is already
doing very large trade over rich country
125 miles to the east and ae many miles to
the northwest. The truth is, no other
town IN Montana has as large and as good
tributary country, and it will soon become
one Of the most important distributing
centers west OF st. Paul. Do you expect
there will soon be located at Great Fals
other enterprises that will give steudy en-
ployment to laboring men, he was
asked. Yes" he replied. I'VE expect
that the Boston 4 Montana company will
manufacture sheet copper and copper wire.
There will also be built at Black Eagle
falls large and we'll equipped -four mill.
A wooden mill and foundry and machine
