SINCE the decision in the man
damus case the Headlight went
ures predictions and has "sneak-
ing predictions" The Headlight
prophet was wrong, as usual, in
his prediction as to the outcome
of the mandamus case but he is
not observing enough to see that
his paper is the laughing stock of
the Territory. He has been waging
a war on the County commission
ers for months but has not carried
a single point SO far and will not
carry one.

CONGRESS ought to be given to
understand that the people of
New Mexico are in favor of state
hood and the best way to make
hat fact known is.to have a rous-
ing statehood convention at Albu-
querque next week. Delegates
have already been appointed from
this place to go to the convention
and other towns in the Territory
ought not to be behind in this
matter.

STUDENTS Take Up Farewell Salutation
and Embarrass Bride.
Passengers on the steamer Puritan
en- route for New York were the
audience at Newport lately of bit of
college burlesquing which may per-
haps be characterized as somewhat
rude, but which was certainly very
funny, says the Mail and Ex-
press. There was goodly
crowd Of university men upon
the deck and another crowd was
waiting on the dock. When the two
crowds recognized one another there
was much chatting, cheering and
giving OF the college yells. Things
were getting on very nicely, how
ever, when, just as the big steamer
was about to swim of, the dock was
invaded by a bridal party. The boys
watched with much curiosity the
alighting from the carriages, the
congratulations, the huggings, the
kissings, the heartrending fare
wells. They behaved pretty we'll
until Just as the embarrassed and
blushing bride was going up the
gangway on the arm OF the beaming
groom an enthusiastic female friend
rushed up after them and casting
handful Of rice in their wake cried in
a fresh, joyous voice, "Good-by,
Bessiem
This was too much. "Good-by,
Bessie!" yelled half a hundred boy
ish voices. "Good-by, Bessie!" and
amid pandemonium OF good wishes
the young couple disappeared be-
tween decks. But the interest in the
affair did not end there.
whats the matter with Bessie?"
yelled one young rascal upon the
boat to the crowd on the dock.
"NOthing's the matter with Bes-
sic. She's all rightm came the
prompt answer, given with an evil
dent relish from those below.
whats the name of the groom?"
came the question.
1--WE don't know" was the answer,
and then, after slight pause, was
added with the same old gusto and
evident conviction, "But he's all
rightm
And so on for half an hour ques-
tions concerning Bessie were asked
and answered by her new-made
friends, and, though very little in
formation was ELECTED. the universal
opinion was that she and everything
about her from the groom down was
satisfactory and entirely "all right.
The young couple were left in
peace, but in the morning the gilded
cage was empty, the birds had flown,
and Bessie is now probably carrying
her own hand bag and pretending to
be very old married woman

Women In Church ChoIrs.

The bishop Of New Jersey has for
hidden the women Of his church
choirs to wear vestments. The vest
ments are worn by several women
choirs in New York city, notably st.
Bartholomew and St Georges. The
long black cossacks and white cot
ters are rather impressive, while the
wearing Of the little cap is, Of course,
in accordance with the ancient tradi-
tion that women must not appear
with uncovered heads in the
churches The strictly correct COW
ering, however, is the band about the
forehead, to which is fastened long
black veil to be thrown back over the
head.

THE LILY AND THE LOTUS.

There grew flower in Babylon
Whose perfumes make young lovers weep!
On 1t Assyrian moonlight shone,
Euphrates murmured 1t TO sleep.
It brings back old, forgotten dreams,
Its petals breathe dead loves kiss:
Astarte bathed it in her beams
In the gardens Of Semiramis.
But Egypt has a sweeter bloom
The lotus of fOrgetful breath:
Svathed and em5almed in spiced gloom.
The sad Nile sobbed its dreams to death.
1t soothes remembered loves to rest
As quiet as deaths waxen lid;
They laid ii on NitOcris' breast
Beneath her slender pyramid.

A Mystery Explained.

Why does not a man weigh n pound
moro Immediately after eating a
pound weight of food2 A little re-
toction will readily explain this ap-
parent mystery. During the process
of mastication, deglutition, etc., GER
tain muscles are brought into active
play, and the exercise Of any muscle
necessitates a temporary waste of it's
tissues, and a certain amount of car
bon is eliminated and passes off dur
ing the course Of the meal. This loss,
however, is trlfing, as compared with
that due to respiration and perspir-
alton, both Of which are increased
during the various operations of max.
ing a meal. The length Of time one
may take to consume a pound of food
makes but little difference TO these
losses, for if it is eaten leisurely there
is but slight increase Of respiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both
are a~bnormally accelerated. Hence.
by the time the pound is eaten, the
consumer has lost ~appreciably in
moisture and carbcnic acid.-Ex,

Frank Martin, the Battle Mount

T.. Insomania is fesrfully on the in

that multitudes Of people are de-
priyed Of good and sufficient sleep,
with ruinous consequences to the
nerves. Remember, Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla makes the weak strong.
The money outlook continues bad
in New York, Europe, Australia,
everywhere. OF course the bankers
will not give up that the cause of the
trouble dates with the demonetiza-
tion Of silver, but the governments
themselves, the statesmen Of the
world, ought to begin to see the way
things are tending and what the final
wind-upis going to be unless a return
shall bs made to first principles, and
the wfong Of twenty years ago shall
be righted.
