MUSICAL MEXICO


 one does not have to travel far or stay long in Mexico to discover that it IS quite as much musical country as any other in the world. Even the stay-at-home Americans, a dozen or so years ago, fancied that they had made this discovery, when Mexican military bands and typical orchestras began to tour' the United States, astonishing as well as delighting the crowds they attracted everywhere. But the truth IS that the American stay-at-homes, With all their admiration for the music the Mexicans brought to them, gained scarcely any idea of how far the Mexi- cans were to be classed as musical people. They supposed. very naturally. that the famous --th regiment band and the Typical orchestra comprised all, or about all, that Mexico had to send abroad; that they fully represent cd the music of their country, and that they were probably considered prodigies in the land whence they came. Such impressions are quickly dispelled in Mexico. The sefni-weekly concerts in the Zocalo, the Alameda and the Paseo, ln the capital, do not suffer in the least when the Mexican war department grants one of the military bands, even the best of them, leave of absence for a tour i'll the United States. And as for the other cities of the republic, even such comparatively isolated towns as Jalapa, Puebla, Oaxaca, Toluca, Chi huahua, Morelia and Guadalatara. each has at least one military band that would be likely to carry off the honors in any competition with the military bands of America.-Arthur Howard Noll, in Lippincott's.

LONG AND SHORT BURROWS


the sowing of field. 1t is strange that
more attention is not given to the ar
rangement of fields with reference to
long burrows and to similarity of soil.
A square acre plowed with 10 inch
furrow requires "a rounds and $3.50 turns,
while the same area in the form of a
parallelogram, . rods by 80, requires
only 13 rounds and so turns. 1t is safe
to say that in the one form it will take
twice the time to pillow that it does in
the other, to say nothing of the serious
trampling which the square piece will
be subject to. These figures were origi-
nally given in The Country Gentleman
by writer who said:
There are two farms in my own town
on which fences between the fields have
been removed, yet cultivation is con-
tinued as formerly, each field by itself,
although in one case the burrows might
be tripled in length by blowing clear
across the farm. On another farm, four
five acre fields have been thrown into
one, making a field 80 by 82 rods in size.
This field is plowed as often the short
way as the long one and when moved
is generally cut in plats Of four or five
acres across the field. To NOW this field
with four foot swath, it would require
1872 rounds and 528 turns. To NOV it
in five separate pieces would require
412K rounds and 1, $50 turns By refer
ring to the first illustration the reader
will see at once how much more eco
nomically 90 acre tract of land can be
plowed in one piece than it can be in
FIVE
The second cut shows a farm origi-
nally divided into six fields by fences
and still plowed in the same fields A B
is the highway; @ D E are house, barn
and orchard, while G HIJ is the
pillow land The dotted lines show the
original fence rows, while the entire
lines show better way of dividing in

Several years ago in Wisconsin, before
the Indian had retired from the neigh
borhood Of the white man, mother
and her little girl were alone in their
cottage on the edge of great forest.
Everything seemed peaceful, and there
was no thought of danger. The mother
sat inside the door sewing. while the
child was in the bright sunshine play
ing. Their large black dog Cuff was the
only other member of the family. Sud
denly half dozen Indians fresh from a
recent raid on whisky stood in the door
way and demanded more whisky. The
lady had no whisky, but offered them
food and drink. The Indians, however,
were drunk, and before the mother
could interfere the toughest seized the
little girl and was making off with her
when the dog, which had wandered
away short distance, came bounding
back. In an instant he had the savage
by the throat and threw him to the
ground. The others, having no firearms,
beat a hasty retreat The dog kept a
tight grip on the Indian until they had
all gone, then released him, and he also
departed. Dumb Animals

An Opinion of ConkIing.

The Rev. H. S. Haweis expresses this
uncomplimentary opinion of the late
Roscoe Conkling in his book of travels,
lately published: "At Bigelow House
in New York / dined with Conkling,
the crack lawyer, talker and, should
say, characteristic windbag of the peri
cd. Conkling seemed to me an
insufferably vulgar, loud, clever person
utterly oonceited and self conferred.
Conkling talked through you
and over you and all around you and
quoted poetry whether you wanted to
hear it or not and answered his own
riddles and asked questions which he
never meant you to answer, being of
the nature Of Cicero's rhetorical inquir-
les in the Verrine and Cataline orations.
/ can recollect nothing that Conkling
said-only the abiding flavor Of his ar
rogance and oonceit .

The Passing of the Cayuse.

Fossil collections gathered in old lake
beds of eastern Oregon demonstrate that
the broad plains between the Rocky and
Cascade mountains were the original
habitat of the prehistoric horse, feet
little animal no larger than fox which
in the long ago scampered over the
lonely land. After the lapse of ages the
modern horse is now to degenerate upon
the stamping ground of his ancestors
The cayuse has become so valueless by
the invasion Of the electric car and the
bicycle and the disappearance of the
stagecoach and the wagon train that
the halter has been taken from his neck
and he has been turned loose to struggle
with nature for his own subsistence.
Over this section many thousand head
of wild horses now roam as untram-
meled as in prehistoric days, and during
the past winter these persisted in large
numbers.
1t is case of the survival of the fit-
test. The cayuse, like the red man, may
read his doom in the setting sun, but
the well bred horse can still look civil
lization in the face and demand shelter
and oats in abundance = Spokane

MY LADY's SECRET.


My lady always smiled-not much to do,
But when the hours and days increase in
care,
And dreariness and WEAKNESS pursue,
When youth and love grow dim in backward
view,
And life is but to bear and still forbear,
All, then, her gentle sweetness, undefled
By years Of bitterness, shone forth. She smiled
Ny lady always smiled, in life and DEATH
Some envied her a life that seemed all smiles
And some cried out or caught sobbing breath,
Self plying, and God and man reviled,
But some, to sorrows burden reconoilsd,
We're glad the gladness of her face to see
Through toll and care and heartless apathy.
But when they laid my lady with the flowers
To Sleep where wake Thousand smiling
springs,
A solitary father, praying hours
Beneath grand arch and grave cathedral
towers,
Thanked, for my lady's rest, the King Of
kings
He knew her soul had yearned weary while
To sleep and rest the burden of a smilei
