Bear always in mind that we should
not live to eat and drink, but eat and
drink to live. God has given both meat

lesser or greater degree.
Remember it is the life of a Christian
to live soberly, justly and piously, not

MINING development in New Mexico
would be greatly accelerated if the in.
telligent miners OF the different camps
were to take the trouble to notify
%neighboring newspapers of local occur
rences OF interest. Some discrimination
should be used, as the newspapers do
not rare for mere items of personal
gossip, and such items are of no benefit
to the camp. But if practical miners
of intelligence, in the various camps of
the Territory, will give to the papers,
real mining news, including conserva
tive statements as to recent discovery
and development, etc, the aid to min
ing interests in the Territory will
speedily be shown.

THE BARroLoME BAoA GRANT,

THE BARTOLOME BACA GRANT,
The rejection of the Bartolome Baca
grant by the U. s.. supreme court was q
great surprise to the average grant
claimant h%ereabouts. This claim, tbs
location of which is in Valencia county,
is seventy five miles south OF Santa Fe.
and Its area is ~variously estimated al
from 500, 900 to 100000 acres. A. M.

were also largely interested.
It will be remembered that Mr..
'Bergere married Eloisa L Otero, the
widow of Manuel B. Otero, who in
1882, was shot and killed by James G..
Whitney, Of Boston, in a quarrel over
this land, Whitney alleging that the
-Estancia Springs grant in which he was
interested covered the Bartolome Baca
grant to the extent OF about 400, 900
acres In that fracas also Whitney
shot eight times, his brother-in-
law. Hernandez was killed, and DR..
i. G. Henriques, of Las Vegas, was
severely wounded. Thus the case has
somewhat of a tragic history.
The rejection of the claim is said to
be pretty severe on Mr.. Bergere, who
had long pending, an offer to sell it
for 5000, 900, contingent upon its con
The tract covers a valuable
class Of land, and the chances are it
will be greedily homesteaded as soon as
the formal order is made making it a

MONKEYS.
Outlook.

Monkeys are so much like human
beings in the care they give their little
ores. that it seems as if they must. in
some way, be connected with the human
family.
A little scene, which my children and
| witnessed a short time since in Cen
tral Park Menagerie, made US feel this
very strongly.
We had reluctantly left the monkey
house, after spending over an hour
watching its fascinating inmates, to
visit the other animals, and had hurried
back for last look at the little fellows.

On reaching the monkey house door.
we saw that something unusual WAS
happening. for every body in the room

THE COST OF A DINNER.

Recently a gentleman who is fond of
would find out how much simple din
ner really cost. This gentleman asked
how much simple dinner that he was
eating cost, and he was told seventy five
cents. He contradicted this, and then
made the following statement about the
cost OF the dinner The pepper, he said.
came from 10000 miles away. 1t grew
on a little bush about eight feet high,
which must have had growth of at
least five years. The pepper was picked
green; it had to be dried in the sun, and
this meant employ ing women. 1t took
one ship and a thousand miles of rail-
road to bring the pepper to the United
from China, and the coffee from South
America. The Goldfish had to be brought
from Maine. Men had to be employed
to catch the fish; other men and women
were employed in drying, packing, and
boxing il; and it, too, had to make
long railroad journey. The flour of
which the bread was made was from
wheat grown in Dakota; some one
owned the land, and that meant the in
vesting of capital; and then he had also
to pay wages to workingmen. The
wheat had been ground, and the build
ing of the mill and the plant, or ma
chinery, meant more money invested.
Ths millers had to be paid; coopers had
to be paid for making the barrels; and,
Of course. the wood of which the barrels
were made had to be cut, and sawed
and shaped, and this meant the employ
ing of more men. Then the -four had to
be shipped o er the railroad and handled
again by cartmen before it came into
the house. The salt came from the
Indian reservation in the northwestern
part of New York state. The canned
peaches came from California. and they
too, represented the employment Of
capital and labor. The spices in the
cake came from the Spice Islands in the
Indian Archipelago. After the gentle.

such rafting as to make the poor

We delayed going until the excite

had succeeded in diverting the monkeys

apples and carrots; but he to told us the
next time we visited the monkeys that

afternoon, at every unusual noise, they
