She is Mary Phillips, the Famous Dia-

Not a penny's worth have l

a woman thief toward her own

From the Sunday Spectator.
The need of a suitable hall for
the colored people in this city is
daily growing more evident. The
need is especially evident when
our city is visited by artists from
other places, who have to resort
to churches in which to hold their
entertainments, the San Antonio
Park and Hall association seems 10
be at a standstill, and it doubtless
will be some time before the pres
ent trouble in the courts will he
settled, regarding the property
bought by the association.
Churches are all right in their
places for entertaintainments,
but there are many affairs which
are as much out OF place in
church as worship would be in a
dance hall.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
ENGINEERING COMMISSIONS RE-
PORT INCOMPLETE.
Directors of the Company viii Therefore
Contest 1t and Show Our Govern
ment the Reasons Therefor.

NEW YORK, March 5.--The Her.
aid this morning says: The Mica
raguan Canal company met yes
terdsy, but the proceedings of the
directors were not made public.
Yet the object of the meeting and
the subjects discussed had a very
important bearing on the report of
the commission of engineers who
were sent to Panama to give their
opinion whether or not the United
States would be justified in be-
| coming the guarantor of the I'M
dertaking. The company has de-
cided to contest the report, which
was unfavorable to the work of
the engineers of the company. The
directors declare that the govern
ment engineers, before they start
| ed on their trip to Greytown, spent
nearly two weeks in this city care
fully inspecting the maps Of the
country. The directors declare
the expenses of the engineers could
not have been kept within the
limit placed by congress so the
company provided the commits
sioners with guides and natives to
cut paths for them on their tour Of
inspection. Seventy or eighty men
were thus employed by the COM
pany in behalf of the commission.
Chief Engineer Monocal, of the
Nicaragua canal company, accom-
panied the engineers on their tour
from the site of the Pacific en-
trance of the canal to the harbor of
Greytown.
The directors say that instead of
the government engineers making
a thorough study of the whole
route of the canal, as the report to
| the government would seem to as
sumo, they decided that they
would not go over the ground COW
| cred by the great lock, at which
the chief engineer turned and pro-
ceeded on the other side.
The contest of the report will be
made on this omission, for the gov
eminent engineers declare that the
estimate OF the company's engin-
GERS are far too low. The directors
say Chief Engineer Monocal kept
diary OF the incidents OF this trip
of inspection and he will be in
position to prove to the govern
ment that not only did this neglect
OF duty occur, but there were
other incidents which would de.
stroy the value Of the engineers
report. The company will present
the evidence at the public hearing
OF the com missioners' report.

THE CLUBS PLEASURE.

About the dreariest pursuit in this
world is the pursuit of pleasure. 1t very
soon becomes tiresome and monotonous.
1t has to be paid for in spot cash of dis
satisfaction and discomfort. All around
and in Chicago expensive pleasure fact
cries have been established as social
"clubs." These clubs are breaking up
home life, and teaching young people
that home is place to be avoided, ex-
cept for eating and sleeping purposes.
This breaks in upon home influences,
and upon education, because it takes
the attention of the young from their
school work and from good parental in
huence. 1t breaks in upon religion be-
cause it saps church attendance, devo-
ton and Christian work and giving. 1t
incites people, and especially young
men. not only to seek pleasure as the
chief good, but to pay more for it than
they can afford to. Two dollars per
week is minimum figure OF the cost
from that to ten dollars. We notice that

PRIMITIVE MOUNDS IN TEXAS.

A writer in the Galveston News re-
marks that many are not aware of the
existence of group of mounds in Texas
which are we'll worthy of study by the
Archaeological. They are in the suburbs
of the town of Nacogdoches. in the east
ern part of the State. Four of these
mounds are standing 10 apparently much
the same condition as when left by their
unknown builders. A line drawn from
the largest, which is furthest southwark,
passing through each in turn, to the last
which is furthest northward, would des-
cribe an irregular arc of probably 100 or
100 degrees, and each mound, from
south to north, diminishes in size and
height. That furthest to the south may
be compared to cone, probably 400 feet
in circumference at the base, with a fiat,
table-like summit, the sides showing
that at one time they had been abrupt
and regular, and, in fact, were sufficient
ly steep in 1859 to afford coasting place
for the boys of the town, with their sleds,
after snow which occurred in that
year. The next two mounds have
rounded tops, and the slope Of their sides
is more gentle. The last mound, which
is about 300 yards north of the largest of
the group, is small but steep, being less
than 100 feet in circumference, and, &C.
cording to my recollection, does not ex-
o. f1of ..ah a.r
About 200 yards east of the largest
mound is large excavation, or rather,
two excavations close together, from
which, it would seem. the earth was
taken with which the mounds were con-
structed. / remember to have found
near these mounds when boy. flint ar
rowheads and peculiar kind of imple-
ment made of an exceeding large black
stone, containing specks of white, which
from the shape, might have been used
as Ratchet or chisel, one end being
sharpened to an edge, the other blunt.
An old road used to run by the base
of the second mound, and the rains
washed debris from it into small gully
near by. In that gully have frequent
ly found bits of baked clay, evidently
the fragments of prehistoric domestic
utensils, each piece plainly showing
concave and convex side. indicating that
it was part of some vessel Of rounded
shape. The most noticeable popularity
o: these pieces of ancient pottery was
that the outer or convex side was invar-
iably red, while the inner or concave
side was black, and harder than the out
side, indicating plainly that the vessels
had been subjected to the action of fire
in their manufacture, and that the fire
had been placed inside each one. Evil
IDENTIFY the art of baking pottery in kilns
was not in vogue at that time.

STOCK.

The hair from the name and tail of the
horse is made into hair cloth. and that
which is shorter is used in stuffing
cushions and collars. From the hoofs oil
is extracted, and the horny substance is
sold to comb manufacturers. Knife
handles are made from the leg bones.
The ribs and head are burned to make
bone black. after the glue is extracted.
Common sense teaches us many
things, and for instruction we need not
go elsewhere. We are told over and
over how to shelter our stock, but every
one knows that what is needed is tight
building, facing the sunny side, located
80 that the stock can easily be given
liberty on pleasant days in winter. Our
most common mistake is in not keeping
them clean, sweet and we'll ventilated.
While the American stock raiser has
about concluded it to be time to go to
breeding beef cattle again, the scarcity
has driven Armour to put in a large
packing house in South America. The
farmer went into grain more extensively
and now that does not pay. Sometimes
we are too easily frightened; now we can
not have good stock to sell until we raise
it.
The world must be fed, and the
American farmers must feed it chiefly.
We can raise better cattle than does
Argentine, though they are now import
ing the best English bulls. Every day
the demand for prime beef at top prices
greater than the supply.
Whether one owns a hand machine or
a larger one in common with company
OF bis neighbors. grinding the feed for
the stock will soon save more than will
pay for the extra labor and expense.
Do not err on the other extreme, and
grind too finely. for the finer food enters
the stomach in a mass, and forms
dough impenetrable by the juices.
The only way to maintain the quality
of our live stock is to constantly aim to
improve it. Good beef never lacks de-
mand, either at home or abroad. The
Briton likes his American roast, and our
export trade has reached enormous prop
ortions; but we must be ready for com.
petition. and give heed to the healthi-
ness and quality of our product.
1t is not SO much the number as the
quality of the stock produced which
tells. The feeder who has a bunch Of
good, young, small boned, early matur-
ing steers in his lot, and has his bins
full of corn, has no need to fear that he
will come out of the little end of the
horn when his stock goes to market.
Early maturity can only be obtained
from pure bred sires of the improved
beef breeds. Do not worry over feeding

POULTRY.

American hens can produce eggs as
cheaply as any foreign hen which roosts,
and there is no really good reason why
she should not do business for our Eng
lish cousins. 1t is not a question of low
nor high wages. This trade has been
small only because we did not have
enough to supply the home demand.
OF the twenty million dollars worth
consumed by England the United States
supplies less than one per cent.
II situated near good markets, often
more profit can be found in raising young
ducks than with spring chickens. The
Rouen duck is one of the best for this
purpose, as it is a strong and rapid
grower. often attaining weight of 10 or
twelve pounds at the age of 10 weeks.
The hen house should be made con-
venient for the hen and for the owner.
Neglect often comes from inaccessibility.
The fowls get lousy, thirsty and hungry,
and fall an easy prey to various forms of
disease. They lay few eggs, and come
out in bad condition in the spring. Let
the house be light, comfortable, warm
and roomy.
Young turkey hens will lay early, pro.
vided they were early enough last year
to get good growth. They lay more
than will those two or three years old,
and as with all birds, the earliest eggs
produce the strongest and the best
chicks. They have more constitution
than turkey chicks Matched in hot
weather.
The stock is greatly improved if the
male turkey is two years old. and both
the males and females are of large size.
Turkeys must have good range to be
profitable at all; they are good foragers
and insect destroyers, but they must
have plenty of room over which to ram
BILE.
Where poultry and bees constitute the
minor industries of the farm, field of
buckwheat might be sown for their
special use. II sown in July the bloom
comes at a season when there is little
else for the bees to forage upon, and
prolongs the season Of honey making.
The grain makes a most serviceable food
for laying hens, valuable for fattening
purposes.
