Ancient Mexico.

Everywhere about the valleys of
New Mexico, invariably upon emf
nences, and usually upon high fiat
topped mesas or table hills, are the
ruins of houses of the ancient semi
civilized Indian population that lived
here and titled the soil before the
coming of the Spaniards-four CEN
turies ago.
The numbers of this old population
can be only vaguely inferred by the
numerous cobblestone foundations of
their houses, still well defined above
the surface of the ground, and by the
debris of the fallen walls which con-
stltute hillocks, grassgrown and in.
termixed with occasional old stone
utensils and countless fragments OF
pottery.
This pottery when turned up by
the spade is found to be handsome
and varied in color and as fresh oi
tint as it could have been when the
village was destroyed or abandoned
aud every tradition of its existence
lost in prehistoric past.-Philao lphif

A young married couple up town
adopted pretty little Maltese kitten
which strayed into the house one
evening, and the innocent little feline
caused quite sensation the first
night of his stay. The head of the
small household was awakened by a
succession of strange, inharmonious
sounds late that evening, and after
alarming his better half armed him.
self and slowly made his way to the
source of the disturbance.
Reaching the parlor, he suddenly
struck match and peered fearfully
to find an intruder. He found one,
but twas only the new four footed
inmate of the home walking up and
down the piano keys, to which she
had taken strange fancy, and she
performs the same feat whenever she
can get access to the instrument

How NIonarchs Speak.

With the single exception of the
emperor and empress of Austria,
there is no European monarch who
does not speak with a foreign accent
the language of the people over
which he or she reigns. Even the
Count de Paris speech indicates the
fact that he was brought up by a
German mother, while the comtesse's
accent is Spanish. That of the Eng
lish royal family is German, and the
same must be said of the house of
Romanoff, of Denmark, Of Queen
Marguerite of Italy and of the reign
ing houses of Holland and Belgium.
The reigning family of Sweden speak
Swedish, with French accent, while
that of the present king of Portugal
is distinctly Italian.-New York Tel

Foreign Grammars Iu Schools.

A little pamphlet entitled, "The
Caricature of German In English
Schools, published by certain Herr
Curt Abel Musgrave, deals with six
German grammars compiled by Eng
ish pedagogues, and now in use in
leading public schools, and in every
one of these the German critic finds
abundant food for mirth and ridicule
just as we should, no doubt, in Eng
ish grammars written in France by
Frenchmen or Germans. l wonder
whether we should hear similar criti-
cism if we could obtain the opinion
of an ancient Greek or Roman on
British Greek and Latin grammars.-

While in the zenith of his superb
powers and at the very height of his
fame Edwin Forrest, the greatest
actor of his day, once played on a
Christmas night one of his most sue
cessful characters to an audience of
but one person.
The play was Julius Cesar" the

John w. Forney. What manager of
today or of any other day would not
be proud to produce Shakespearean
drama with such combination of
players - Dougherty, the silver

statesman; Conner, the veteran of
the stage. and Forrest, the towering
giant of the dramatic professionl Is

1t was only few years before
FORESTS death that on this Christ

The Press office to have a chat with
his old friend Forney. A few mo-
ments later Dougherty came and
was soon followed by Conner, who
was frequent visitor to the editor
The meeting was purely accidental,
but they We're all close friends, and
the surprise was a pleasurable one
Dougherty, as is well known, had in
his early days prediction for the
drama and narrowly escaped being
an actor himself. Indeed he was a
good deal of an actor i'll his famous
lectures, especially in that celebrated
discourse on THE Stage" Forney,
too, was an ardent admirer of the
players art and once had a strong
desire to figure behind the footlights
1t was not strange, then, that the
talk of this noted quartet soon shifted
toward plays and players, and this
was soon followed by recitations.

A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known. far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An tad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard a man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us confi- lads" out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,-well, we are not slow to take hint, if 1t is a blind one. 1t would be perfectly aw- ful If we should really get 1t this softenlng disease, we mean ] and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew it, or before we had time to yaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up onr advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go Into the coffers of these "graspfng newspaper monopolies, eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, 1. @. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with tn newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate. be just, be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.
