One of the most interesting curiosities
in New Mexico is the famous Navajo
Church" few miles from Wingate, at
the foot of a large butte, 9 rock much
resembling cathedral, with tall spires
and Gothic buttresses. It is an object
of great reverence to the Navajo tribe.

Some Remarkable Beliefs,

There are naturaists in this day and
age who believe that horse hairs will
turn to living snakes; that toads will
live for thousands of years in the cavity
of a rock without food or water: that
the barnacle goose was developed from
the shellfish of that name, and that tn s..
bird called sora is a species of winged
frog. st. Louis Republic.

Mexican Flowers.

The most striking characteristic of
the Mexican flowers is their deep, rich
color. The prevailing hues are always
glowing and intense. The tropical for
ests of the country afford rich field for
the botanists, for in their shades bloom
the most exquisitely tinted flowers and
orchids. -Philadelphia Ledger.

1t is asserted that the efforts to abolish
infectious diseases, such as scarlet fever
and diphtheria, are frustrated by the
burial of infected bodies, for though the
microbes themselves may die their
spores, or seeds, have very great vitality
Pasteur's researches have proved that
earthworms bring up to the surface
microbes from the bodies of infected
animals buried several feet deep. OAR
win showed in one case that in fifteen
years they had accumulated worm mold
over three inches in depth, and in an
other case during eighty years had &C.
cumulated an average depth Of more
than foot.
In a field in the Jura, where diseased
cow had been buried at depth Of nearly
seven feet, Pasteur found that the mold
which he collected two years later con-
tanned germs which on being inoculated
into guinea pig produced death from
the same disorder of which the COW died.
Ina Yorkshire village part of disused
graveyard was taken into the rectory gar.
den adjoining. On the earth being dug
over scarlet fever broke out in tKe rec.
tory nursery and thence spread over the
village. 1t proved to be of the same
type as that from which, thirty years
before, the victims died who were buried
in that particular part of the churchyard.

There is no more important factor in
social life than the visiting card. Ac-
cording to the stern DEGREES of fashion,
this bit of pasteboard plays a tyrant's
part, and one might as well be dead as
out of the fashion in visiting cards, to
say nothing of other less important
things. -
This season the visiting card will be
nearly square in shape, slightly smaller
than those of last year; pure white, of a
highly polished but not glazed surface;
the name engraved in script through
the middle of the card; the address in
the lower right hand corner, and the
day of receiving in the lower left hand
corner.
The card should spell out the hus-
bands given name in full and not give
initials, and never include q title or
profession. A daughter the first year
of her going into society must have her
name added on her mothers card.
After that, If the eldest, she may have
her own card, with Miss Jones or Miss
De Puyster, as the case may be.-New

quadruped has been taught to talk any

hail stones Of extremely large size, the
