The undersigned this day retires from
the editorial management of the New
MEXICAN, the stockholders of the COM
pany having sold their interests to Max
Frost, Republican.
In thus severing his connection with
the paper, with which he has been identi-
fed for nearly fifteen years, first as news
reporter and later--since 1s94-as man
aging editor under Democratic control,
the subscriber feels that he is but doing
his duty to offer his sincere thanks to the
public generally for its loyal support and
patronage.
clean, earnest and honest newspaper
has been given the people. There are no
apologies to be made to anybody; every
thing the editor has written is hereby re-

make the most of it.
No man will dare say that under the
editorial management now about to re-
tire the New MEXICAN has not labored in
season and out of season for the best in
terests and the general advancement of
New Mexico, and thsf editor sewers his
connection ~ewith the paper feeling
that his6ourse has been approved by the
ssmasses, and that the paper while under his
care will long be referred to as the livest
and best public journal New Mexico has
ever had. GEO. Fl. Cross.

COST OF A TRAIN.
The Expense and Profits of Travel on
English Railway Lines.

The Expense and Profits of Travel on
English Railway Lines.
How many people who travel in trains
1t will probably surprise most people
who have travelled from London to Ed
inburgh to know that every mile Of the
journey costs the railway company over
half a crown. The cost Of the whole
Journey from the English to the Scotch
capital is $50.
The average cost Of running train
in England is 2s. I'd. per mile, so that,
the fare being reckoned at Id. per mile,
q train with less than 81 passengers for
each mile is run at a loss. There are
few trains, however, that do not carry
more than this number of passengers,
and many of them carry the number
doubled many times over. 1t is neces-
sary frequently to run trains that do not
pay-usually in thinly inhabited coun-
try districts-but for every train run at
loss probably 100 are run at an enor-
nous profit.
Take, for instance, the journey from
London to Edinburgh, which costs the
railway company ESQ. The average
number Of through" passengers in
these trains is probably 60, in which
case the total fares would be nearly
e1O0-a clear gain of nearly ESQ. When
it is remembered that these trains run
several times a day, and every day in
the year, it will be understood what an
enormous revenue a single line yields in
the course of IL months. Surprising the
average number of passengers to be 60,
the midnight train from London to Ed
inburgh yields over ego, 900 for diyi-
dend in year!
The longest railway journey in the
United Kingdom would probably be
from Penzance, in Cornwall. to Thurso,
in the north of Scotland, distance Of
over 1000 miles A train running be-
tween these two places would exhaust
an ordinary clerks salary for whole
year, the cost being no less than e13S

At Grenoble, France, an Association Serves
Good Food ut Cost.
Housewives who think the co-opera-
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
it would be absurd to look forward to
it for relief from daily drudgery will be
interested to hear that kitchen with
the same end in view as the cooperative
has been in successful operation for
nearly so years. The Association Ali
mentaire of Grenoble, France, is pure
~ municipal affair. The city owns it
and supplies meals at cost in its own
restaurant or delivers them at private
homes.
Everything at the Association Ali
mentaire is as good as money can buy.
The cooks are as clever as any in France,
which is saying great deal. The pro-
visions are bought in the best markets
and are carefully selected. The service
several grades, according to the furnish
ings and the attendance, SO that all
tastes may be accommodated. One may
dine there for 8 cents ON bread and
soup and be satisfied or one may pay -
cents and have full course dinner. In
the best rooms, which are marble fioored
and decorated with much elegance, there
are walters who look for tips as natu-
rally as though they were in the SWEETEST
Of Partisan cafes.
Pure wines, which have been proper
ly aged, are served at about 8 cents a
liter.
There is no financial profit to the city
in running this huge restaurant, which
serves some $1,000 meals day. The
charges are based ON the cost of the
materials used, the employment of help
and the amount spent in keeping the
utensils, machinery and building in re-
pair. York Press.

GENERAL Horace Porter tells the fol-
lowing anecdote in his Campaigning
With Grant" in The Century: During
the ten days of battle through which
we had just passed very little relief,
physical OF mental, had been obtained
but there was one staff officer, Colonel
B., who often came as bearer of
messages to our headquarters, who al
ways managed to console himself with.
novel reading, and his popularity in
this respect became a standing joke
among those who knew him. He went
about with his saddle bags stuffed full
of thrilling rolnances, and was seen sew
eral times sitting on his horse, under a
brisk fire, porting over the last pages of
an absorbing volume to reach the de-
nouement of the plot and evincing a
greater curiosity to find how the hero
and the heroine were going to be extri-
Gated from the entangled dilemma into
which they had been plunged by the
unsympathetic author than to learn the
result OF the surrounding battle.
One Of his peculiarities was that he
took it for granted that all the people
he met were perfectly familiar with his
line Of literature, and he talked about
nothing but the merits of the latest
novel. For the last week he had been
devouring Victor Hugo's Lies Miser-
ables." It was an English translation,
for the officer had no knowledge Of
French. AS he was passing house in
rear Of the "angle" he saw a young la
dy seated on the porch, and, stopping
his horse, bowed to her with all the
grace of Chesterfield and endeavored
to engage her in conversation. Before
he had gone far he took occasion to re-
mark, "By the way, have you seen
Lees Miserables?' anglicizing the
pronunciation. Her black eyes snapped
with indignation as she tartly replied:
Don't you talk to me that way They
are a good deal better than Grants mis-
CRADLES anyhow" This was retold SO
often by those who heard it that, for
some time after, its repetition seriously
endangered the colonel's peace Of mind.

To Grow Teeth.

A Moscow dentist has solved the
problem of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones. DR..
Zamenszy has performed several sue
cessful operations on dogs as we'll as
human beings. The teeth are made Of
gutta percha, porcelain or metal, as the
case may be.
At the root of the false tooth holes
are made. Holes are also made upward
into the jaw. The tooth is then placed
in the cavity. In a short time soft,
granulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in the
tooth. This growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.
1t is stated that it does not matter
whether the cavity in which the tooth
is to be placed is one from which q nat
ural tooth has been recently drawn or
whether it has been healed for some
years. Moscow Letter.

UNCLE SANS AUCTION SALE.
Annual Disposal of the Accommodations of
the Dead Letter Office.


One Of the queerest institutions"
of the national capital is the annual
clearance sale Of the dead letter office,
in which a vast accumulation of articles
gone astray in the mails is sold to the
highest bidders. The auction house
where it is held is continually crowded
with excited men, women and children,
and beside it the bargain counters dur
ing the holidays are as Ravens Of rest,
for when Uncle Sam goes into the junk
shop business great things are expect
ed. AS in the church fair rattle, you
pay a small amount of money and trust
to luck to get back more than it's value.
The articles, previously listed in a
wholesale sort of way, are tied up in
bundles of from three to half dozen
and 'auctioned" for what they will
bring, the average bids ranging between
10 cents and dollar.
Nobody is permitted to examine the
goods before purchasing and no money
is refunded to the dissatisfied. Every
body hopes to pull a genuine plum from
the pie in the shape of diamond ring,
and although comparative blanks are
the rule, there is always the possibility
of a prize. For example, the auctioneer
holds up one Of these odd shaped bun
dies, listed pictures, underwear, mu-
sic, cigars" OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

In the dead letter office proper-that
charnel house which swallows nearly
half million missives every month-it

to stuff dozen mattresses, grandmOth-
ers' silver locks and babies golden "''-'',

ents--gone to Uncle Sans rich purse,
not because the United States wants it,
but because the senders' writing or Or
biography was beyond mortal ken. 1t is
hard to realize that in this land of
schools, at the close of the nineteenth
century, there are SO many people so
ignorant or so careless as to send several
millions of letters year without stamps
OF addresses or with addresses which no
man can make out. People seem to be
so intent on what goes into the letters
that they forget all about the superscrip-
ton. 1t is estimated that 81, 500, 900 in
drafts and $50, 900, 900 in cash is receiv-
ed every year through dead letters. In

That Banshee,s Wall.

There is considerable discussion in
the English papers about the wall of
the banshee which was said to have
been heard in East Kerry before the IA
tai bog moved. A correspondent writes
that the late Archdeacon Whately, the
celebrated archbishop's son, told him of
. certain instance of the banshee's cry.
The archdeacon said that he distinctly
heard the vail while in an Irish coun-
try parish administering the holy COM
nunion to dying man.

BrickA of 1912.

The first bricks made in this country
for building purposes were manufactur-
ed by colonists in Virginia in 1912.
They were used in the construction of a
church edifice at Jamestown and the
residence of the governor of the state.
A part Of the Jamestown church is still
standing, and the bricks are in good
state of preservation, showing that the
colonists believed in making articles to
resist wear by exposure to all kinds of
weather. -Boston Budget.

OLD TIME DOCTORS,
The Students Helped Their Teachers In
Practical Work.

Practical Work.
During the last century in America
the medical education of young stu
dent was generally what he picked up
by serving as an apprentice to some
noted practitioner, which combined the
duties of student with many mental
affairs.
He ground the powders, mixed the
pills, rode with the doctor on his rounds,
held the basin when the patient was
bled, helped to adjust the plasters, sew
the wounds and run with walls of medi-
cine from one end of town to the other.
1t was white day when such young
man enjoyed the rare good fortune of
dissecting half putrid arm. So great
indeed was the difficulty of obtaining
anatomical subjects that the medical
school Of Harvard college made single
body do duty for whole year.
Under such circumstances the doc
tors knowledge was practical, and de-
rived from personal experience rather
than from books. The advantages of
study We're sparingly enjoyed. Few
physicians boosted Of library of 80
volumes.
His apprenticeship ended, the student
returned to his native town to assume
the practice of medicine. At that period,
with the exception of the minister and
the judge, the doctor was the most i'm
portant parsonage in has community
His genial face, his engaging manners
the sincerity with which he inquired
after the carpenters daughter and the
interest which he took in the family of
the poorest laborer made him the IA
vorite for miles around. He knew the
names and personal history of the occu-
pants of every house he passed. The
farmers lads pulled off their hats to
him and the girls dropped courtesies as
he passed. Sunshine and rain, daylight
and darkness, were alike to him. He
would ride ten miles in the darkest
night over the worst of roads in a pelt-
ing storm to administer a dose Of calo-
mel to an old woman OF attend child
in O fit.
The drugs were slowed away on the
shelves Of the village store, among
heaps Of shoes, Rohan hats, packages Of
seeds and fiitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to COM
pound his own drugs, make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip-
lions. His saddlebag was the only drug
store within 40 miles. Each spring the
blood must be purified, the kidneys ex-
cited and the damsel who tainted pro-
fusely bled. Large doses of SIENNA and
mama and rhubarb and molasses were
taken daily. 1t was safe to say that
more medicine was taken every year by
the we'll than is now taken by the sick
in the same time.
Water was denied the patient tor
mented with fever. In it's stead was
given a small quantity of clam juice.
Mercury was taken until the lips turned
blue and the gums fell away from the
teeth.
The writer has vivid recollection,
when about years old, in raging fe-
yer, pleading for water. The nurse hand
ed the pitcher, and the child satisfied
her burning thirst. Her brother, over
hearing what was going on, rushed into
the room. exclaiming, "You will kill
her." but it was too late.
