As l said in last weeks letter, her
colonies have always been regarded as
| fair prey to be stripped Of everything
valuable that was compact and trans
portable. The fierce greed Of Cortez
| and Pizarro is apparently unchanged
Whatever positions of power were open
for filling have seemed to be regarded
as the rightful heritage of the Spanish
nobility without any regard as to fit-
ness, or the benefit of the country they
ruled over. Indirect gain from the de-
velcpment of a colony has never been
regarded with such favor as the direct
results by squeezing out taxes and
farming out productive positions. This
| is simply another evidence of the mad
spirit of self destruction that has pos
| sessed Spain. The inevitable result has
been the loss one by one since the end
of last cntury of the very jewels of her
dfadem of empire.
Agricultural lUnprogressiveness About
the beginning of the sixteenth century
SPAIN possessed of a religious fury
very adroitly mingled with greed, ex-
PEELED the Jews and the Moors and con-
fiscated their property. BY so do
ing 1t inflicted as severe a ma
tlonaI injury to itself as France
did when it drove out the Huge
nots, stripping itself of it's best farmers
and mechanics, tradesmen and mer-
chants. In 1909, if my memory serves
me rlsht, Spain gave a further fatal
blow to itself by expelling all the Chris
tanned Moors. AS a result up to the
present agriculture, the necessary basis
OF national prosperity, is very undevel-
oped The most primitive instruments
are still in use and great regions that
the Moors had made productive have
fallen back to wildness Similar short
sightedness characterized her abroad
When Pizarro landed in Peru the strip
OF land fifty and more miles wide
stretching from the ocean front to the
lCot Mills of the Andes supported a
prosperous population of about 700, 600
The patient Peruvians had made this
sandy desert blossom like the rose by
vast irrigation works. In some cases
they had constructed aqueducts hun
dreds of miles long and even pierced
mountains in order that this particular
region might be watered. Now the des-
ert is again triumphant. The conquer
ors, seeking those things alone that
could be gained by the sword neglected
the real essentials of prosperity, until
now only few thousand exist where
hundreds of thousands We're once prog
porous. The same lamentable neglect
was shown in Mexico. The strange
creatures whom Montezuma ruled were
exceedingly progressive in their way.
But their works and plans and agricul-
tuTal gains were scattered to the winds
by their blood-thirsty conquerors. Now
the spirftless peon seems sunken be-
yOnd all hope of revival

TO LOVELY WOMAN.

Oh! not the cycle. lady fair!
Those slender hands and dainty feet
W ere made for mans delight despair
And not for whirling down the street
On iron wheel.
Oh! not the cycle-fOr / swear
That dainty form was never made
To brave the bold and eye-glass'd stare
In bloomer costume undismay'd
Upon bare steel.
ON! not the cycle, whirling mad,
The rude, rough rush of spinning frame
The manlfke swagger, senseless, sad,
That sits uneasy on each dame
Who wheeling goes.
Oh, not the cycle, for I love
To dream you still my queen divine.
So insecure you loom above
l feel your fall-perhaps on spine,
Perchance on nose.
Oh! not the cycle! In this age,
Invention mad and lost to grace,
Oh. still preserve your skin from scrage,
Preserve untouched your lovely face
And perfect form.

A Cure for Insomnia.

1t has been found in most cases that
insomnia is caused by disordered stom-
ach, says an authority. Between the
stomach and the brain there Is a close
communion, and when one Is out of
order the other is not only apt but sure
to be. Worry will unsettle the stomach,
as indigestion will initiate the blood ves-
sells of the brain. Recognizing this, med
ical men are now ordering the use of hot
water internally and externally. Before
going to bed the persons SO afflicted
should battle the feet in hot water, as
hot as possible. This Is for the purpose
of drawing the blood from the head, for
when the blood vessels are inflated they
press against the skull, and fears, ap-
prehensions and dread of going to sleep
result. But with the hot water applica-
ton the blood is circulated, and the
pressure relieved.-New York Ledger.

While in London an unfortunate love
affair so depressed the young mans
spirits that he had to recourse to a
stimulant to enable him to pursue his
work with concentrated effort He chose
cocaine, and finished his course with
distinguished success, sailing for home
shortly afterward, a slave in body and
soul to the deadly habit. The talents and

of his family give an unusual interest
to this instance, though there il not a

Since the beginning of time mankind

Since the beginning of the present GEN.

caine, an alkoloid of cocoa leaves, was

In minute doses, whether taken inter-
nally, or used as a spray on mucous
surfaces, its effect is wonderfully ex-
hilarating, producing for time the
fresh and buoyant sensations of youth
and perfect health, that have apparent
ly no unpleasant reaction; and therein
lies the explanation of the subtle and
irresistible power it quickly acquires
over it's victims, carrying them to the
very brink of destruction before they
have dreamed of danger. Being a cumu-

cloaks, short fancy jackets in every pos
sible guise, enveloping redingotes prin-
cesse robes with wide fur collars or
shoulder capes, edged with fur, with
often charming little toque and a
large Empire muff to match, and while
black, brown and green are declared to

A frequent case of sogginess in pud
dings and dumplings is boiling them in
too much water. The mold should not be
covered by the water, though there
should be enough to generate good
volume of steam. If the kettle is kept
covered, the pudding cooks more evenly.
The disposition to utilize all unusual
and foreign products is illustrated in
the chairs seen in some shops. They
are made of the plated Malay mats
mounted, to form sweeping back,
upon an American frame. They suitably
contribute to the odd and artistic furni-
ture which abounds in these days.
Lovely medallions of Coalport and
Doulton china, exquisitely handpainted,
and about the size of a silver dollar, are
sold, singly for use in confining the
lace of corsage of throat band.
Some extra large spinning wheels
have been seen in some brio brac
shops recently. They almost indicate
reproduction with additional size, but
in each case they were vouched for as
genuine antiques.
Nickel bedsteadS are seen at places
where a large assortment of metal bed
frames are kept. They are not SO fur
nislling as the brass ones, having a
cold and unfinished appearance.
