pearance of band of Pueblo Indians,
who performed various feats of
strength and gave exhibitions of their
peculiar games .h
At night occurred the great feature
of La Fiesta, the grand illuminated
parade. Nothing so elaborate has ever
been attempted here before. By THE
use of electric lights the streets were
transformed Until THE, whole seemed
like fairyland Thelparade was under
the command of GRAND Marshal OW-
ems. The first division was composed
of mounted fies.a lancers and the
Spanish caIba,leros. The second di-
vi4lon contained pictures, floats rep
resenting Persia, Egypt, Assyria, India,
Judea and Siam. Ipdthe tlhird division
were floats representing Greece, AT
RIGA, Spain, Florida and Cuba The
fourth division was composed of THE
Jonathan club and Commercial Travel
ers club in costume, southern Cali
fornia, f1,uit grain and floats represent
ing the various towns of southern Gail
ifornia comprised 1fshe fifth division.
The whole was formed to represent an
aMegorical picture EN- titled, 'The Land
of ithe Sun" The streets along THE
line of march were a mass of humanity
lit was THE largest and most enthusiasts

The Popularity of tho ar"

A little feature to be seen in some
writings perhaps only to be dis
tinguished as separate gesture by the
aid of magnifying glass-is the tiny
stroke which is separately placed above
the small r, in order to show that it is
an r, and to thus distinguish it from
another letter, or part of letter,
which resent les the when the latter
is made without this little top stroke.
At the first glance, how insignificant
does this detail appear! But is it really
without meaning as human action?
think not.
A man who habitually takes the
trouble to make clearer the meaning
of one of his symbols, at the cost of a
little separate action, is a man who
takes pains with his work and who de-
sires to do his work we'll This action,
trivial as it appears, could scarcely be
done by a slovenly or careless person;
it is gesture of minute care and at
tention-qualities that in one way Or
another have been of vast service to
individuals and to mankind. Thomas
Carlyle, for example, showed his
minute carefulness by an attention to
punctuation that l have never seen ex-
celled, and which has rarely been
equaled.-Nineteenth Century.

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
No Report Will Be Made Until De-
cember.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The re-
port that he Venezuelan question had
again reached a critical stage owing to
Inactivity, has developed two facts,
namely: The United States govern
ment has not offered or suggested the
withdrawal of the present Venezuelan
commission and negotiations toward
general arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain are proceed
ing satisfactorily, although there has
been little progress as yet toward hav-
ing the Venezuelan dispute included
i'm the general scope OF arbitration
Aside from these two material points
the general statue of the subject, 1t is
stated, has not changed of Gate, and
there is no uneasiness felt that the
negotiations will lapse or fail. 1t is
the general understanding that the
Venezuelan commission Will not re-
port until December.

the universe has had one more exempli-

Dyspepsia

The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and

Nerves are weak, many people say,
and vet they do not seem to know
that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood cam
not give proper sustenance that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which it makes, will soon feed the
nerves the elements Of true strength
they require; they will cease their agi-
tation and will resume their proper
place - being under the control in
stead of controlling the brain and
body. Read Miss Bartley's letter:

GIRL GRADUATES ESSAYS.
A Welcome Innovation in School Com
mencement Exercises.


mencement Exercises.
Writing Of "Girls and Literary
Calisthenics," in May Ladies'
Home journal, Edward w. Box
directs serious attention to the lit
erary features Of girls schools
commencement exercises, especi-
ally the subjects for esseys chosen
for or by graduating atudents,
which he holds, in very many in
stances, are entirely inappropriate.
Mr.. Box writes that "When the
parents and friends OF the gradu-
ates assemble to see tho honors OF
the school year coming to their
girls it is only natural that they
should wish to get some assurance
that the money devoted and the
time given to their education shall
not have been for naught. But l
do not think that these parents
take the slightest pleasure in see-
ing their daughters wrestle with
the topics given them for their
essays-topics that are nearly al
ways far beyond the ken or con-
ception of girlhood. 1 took the
pains last June to carefully follow
the reports of commencement in
different parts OF our country, and
the mistaken topics discussed in
graduating essays were something
remarkable"
Among the topics referred to he
cites "a History of Civilization"
Republic versus Monarchy"
Grades Unions aud Monopoly
for Labor" "The Negro and His
Right to Vote" and others quite
as inappropriate for girls to write
upon. Mr.. Box contends that
"there are plenty Of topics to be
found in the realms of history, art,
astronomy, literature or music,
which, if commencement essays
are deemed necesssry-and, to my
mind, they are not-can be far
more wisely or acceptably dis
cussed than those referred to.
But why have commencement
essays at all? For the most part
they bore the audience rather than
interest it-and bore the girls who
read them, too, l fancy. In sever
al of the colleges, whose COM
mencement programs for last year
lie before me, / notice that the
traditional essays are omitted, and
simply general exercises were fol-
lowed; or an address by promi-
nent educator was given. The
change is welcome one, and the
principals Of colleges throughout
the country will be wise If they
initiate the examples of these lead
ers."
