MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
LINE is MARKED BY MONU-
MENTS OF IRON.
Incidents of the International Survey
Recently Com p1eted-Dif Difficulties Elk
perienced by the Boundary Conn
mission.
Line Fixed at Last.

The official geographical boundary
between the United States Of Amerl-
ca and the Republic of Mexico has been
established, and after many years of
hard and dangerous work by Colonel j.
W. Barlow, engineer-in-chief Of the In
ternational Boundary Survey, and his
men, the line has been marked by Sc
RES Of boundary monuments, built OF
iron. Colonel Barlow's report has been
sent to the Department of State at
washington, but will not be published
for a year. Numerous fine illustra-
tions are to be made to accompany the
report, and when completed it will be
lone Of the most interesting and attrac-
tive documents ever issued by the Gov
eminent.
The war with Mexico, which closed
with the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
entered. into at the village of that name
in 194S, resulted in the cession to the
United States Of the States Of New
Mexico and California, as then consti-
tuted. The southern boundary Of this
territory was not clearly defined, and
"a commissioner was appointed to mark
the line, but managed to spend all of
the appropriation before he commenced
the work. w. III. Emory was then ap-
pointed, who, with commissioner
from Mexico went about the work in
a business-like manner, commencing
at the Pacific coast. When the gold
excitement Of California reached the
men at work on the line they abandon
ed the work and went to the mines, Sc
riously retarding its progress. Later
the commission succeeded in filling the
places Of the workmen and proceeded
with the survey, which was finished to
the first natural mark, the junction of
the ella and Colorado Rivers. How
ever before this work was complete
the Gadsden treaty Of 1858 made it nee
essary to move that part Of the line
east Of the Colorado farther south to
where it yet remains. This new line
was to begin at a point on the Rio
Grande commencing at parallel 31.47
and to run west along said parallel
100 miles, thence south thirty miles

Pi9mY Races.

There are several pigmy races vary
ing very little in size, and ranging from
three and half feet to four and a half
feet in height. Among others are the
1tas Of the Philippines, the Andaman
islanders, and the Akkas of Central
Africa. Of the African dwarf races
Emin Pasha states that the tribes near
Lake Akkas average four feet one inch
DR.. Parke, who in 1886 discovered the
Batwa, gives their average height MS
four feet three inches, but places them
Intellectually above the Nubian no.
groes. These races are regarded nv
some anthropologists as survivors Of .
race that may have once occupied a
much wider region, extending. it is s,s-
gested, over India, North Africa tho
Pyrenees, Switzerland and Central
America.

ferces when Roscoe Conkling and 9TH
ers tried to force third term for
Grant ON the party.
In 1886 he ran against Abram S.
Hewitt for Mayor Of New York and
was badly beaten, but not discouraged.
When Gen. Harrison became President,
he appointed Mr.. Roosevelt member
Of the United States Civil Service Com
mission, and In that capacity he served
for six years. He only resigned his
post to become president of the police
board of New York City, and in that
office he directed with characteristic
boldness such shake up as no munich
pal department ever had in that mis-
governed city since the time of the
Tweed exposure.
In private life he has found time to
thoroughly enjoy himself in his own
peculiar style. He runs ranch in
Dakota, and when he is not hunting
for official corruption he is shooting
grizzlies, roping steers or taking part
IN cowboy frolics

The art of listening is often spoiled
by the mental attitude Of prejudging.
When we begin to listen, we quickly
take sides for Or against, as critic or ad-
vocate, and from that moment we cease
to be good listeners-certainly we are
no longer impartial Or fair ones. We
welcome that which agrees with our
notions and exaggerate it's relative
value, while that which is opposed to
them we ignore and forget. We are
not great enough to listen for the sake
Of truth, and try to discover it what
ever it may be; we listen with avidity to
that which we like and turn deaf ear
to the opposite. AS, when we look
through colored glass, the whole land
scape assumes that color, so, when we
listen through the medium Of private
prejudice, we hear only it's echo,

John Bright once said Of Gladstone:
"He is an honest man; he believes what
he says. The worst Of it is that he too
readily believes what he wishes to be-
lieve." To a question whether that was
not something like self-deceit, Mr..
Bright replied: 'No; Mr.. Gladstone
sees an object which he thinks Of vital
Importance, and he turns in all direc-
tons for arguments in support Of it.
He find them, and he becomes uncon-
scious Of anything outside of them.
That is not self-deceit." To the objec-
ton that 1t was dangerous quality In
a statesman to be able to see only that
side Of a question which he wished to
see, Mr.. Bright replied that every man
who had done anything great in the
world had been Of that constitution.
''You cannot do great thing" he con-
Guided, eff you have doubts Of your po-
sition and reasons"
