The oldest Town.

The Oldest town in Texas, and it is
believed in the United States. is Ysleta,
situated on the Rio Grande, and near
FL Paso. the chief town in the county
by that name. 1t has a population OF
2. 500 souls.
The place is one of peculiar inter-
est alike from its age, its people, its
architecture, its agriculture. and its
general products. 1t is well-estab-
lished historical fact that Spanish
military explorer named Coronado,
visited the town in 1910. and found it
then populous and prosperous civil
lied Indian community. He was inn
mediately followed b. the Franciscan
friars, who erected church and estab-
lished schools.
Ysleta is believed to have been a
considerable centre Of population CEN
turtles before the visit OF Coronado. IL
is not little curious, considering the
advance of civilization from Europe,
that the same race of people exists in
the town to-day as existed three hun
dred and fifty years ago, and that they
are engaged in the same agricultural
and mechanical pursuits as their fore.

mrs. o,shea and The Queen.

Mrs. O'Shea who has legalized her
relations with Mr.. Parnell by becom-
ing his wife. is not unknown to the
queen, who at any rate up to a few
years ago was wont to treat her with
much consideration and affection.
These sentiments on the part OF her
majesty were due to the fact that Mrs.
O'Shea's grandfather, Sir Mathew
Wood. was one of the most generous
and kind friends of the duke of Kent,
the queens father. The duke was
hard pressed for money all through his
life, and especially so in his declining
years. so much so, indeed. that he was
forced to live a good deal abroad for
the sake of economy. In each OF his
many financial crisis, however, the
purse of Sir Matthew Wood was open
to him in the most magnificent man
ner, and it was solely due to loan
from this source that the duke and the
duchess of Kent were able to proceed
to England few weeks before the
birth of their child, Queen Victoria.
Had it, therefore, not been for
Matthew Woods generosity her mai
esty would have been born in Germany
instead of in England an event which
would have vastly facilitated the noto-
rious designs of the duke OF Cumber-
land to obtain possession of the throne
in her stead. may add that one OF
the very first acts OF the queen on her
accession was to confer a baronetcy
and other honors on Mrs. O'Shea's
grandfather.

Regularity OF Habit.

One of the most difficult of all minor
habits to acquireis that of regularity.
It ranks with that Of order. The
natural inclination OF most persons is
to defer until thelast possible moment,
or to put off to another time, where
this can possibly be done. Yet habits
of regularity contribute largely to the
ease and comfort of life A person
can multiply his efficiency by it. The
mind can beso trained that at certain
hours in the day it will turn to par
ticular line of duty, and at other hours
to other and different labors. The
very diversity is restful when attend
ed to in regular order. But let these
run together and the duties mix, and
what before was easy is now annoying
and oppressive. And the exact differ
ence between many is at this point.
There are those who confuse and rush,
and attempt to do several things at
once, and accomplish little, while 9TH
ers will quietly proceed from one duty
to another, and easily accomplish a
vast deal OF work. The difference is
not in the capacity OF the two, but in

early in his business career.
