LOST MINES AND SPRINGS.

There is q tradition in New Mexico
that many mines once freely worked
have been lost. There is another tradi-
ton that many springs have also been
lost, and it is understood that the
losses of both mines and springs were
brought about by the Indians. New
Mexico is supposed once to have been
much more attractive than it is now.
The public Indians arose in revolt Of
the first full moon in August, 1880.
When they had driven the Spaniard
down into Old Mexico they set to work
to change conditions so that there
should be little temptation to reconquer
New-Mexico
This idea inspired the filling of mines
which had been opened and worked
during the former Spanish occupation.
The Indians, with great care, destroyed
all traces of many mines, it is said.
This is not so surprising as what they
did to the springs. 1t is tradition, and
the statement is commonly accepted as
historic truth, that In their labors to
render the country as uninviting as
possible these Indians suppressed
numerous springs. Such results were
accomplished in an ingenious manner.
The Indians dug down and cleared
away the dirt until they found the
crevices of the rock through which the

To ride your bicycle upon

All, surely harm will come to all
Who do such wicked things;

MUD, BUT ENERGETIC.

Mild in tone, but energetic, is the lat
est description of Spain's note to the
United States. 1t is now said that the
note declares that Spain has done all
in her power to end the war in Cuba,
proof of which is given in the great
sacrifices she has made, the number of
troops sent to the island, and now the
granting of wide reforms, which are
Iully described. 1t declares that the
government cannot admit the preten-
sion of any foreign nation to interfere
in Spanish affairs, and complains of
the number of filibustering expeditions
to Cuba from the United States, which,
1t declares, are the chief cause of the
continuation of the war. 1t then pro-
ceeds to express the hope that respect
for international rights in America
will be better enforced in the future.
This is mild and energetic from
Spain's standpoint, and will form the
basis for "heap talk" in this country.
OF course the right of this nation to in
terfere in Spanish affairs or any other
affairs will be stoutly upheld by some
of the takers, and it will be argued
that everything possible to head off fill
busters has been done. Certainly much
money has been spent for that purpose.
We have several thousand miles Of
coast to guard, and warships and rev.
enue cutters have been employed and
with much success. Every now and
then filibuster has sailed successful
ly, but during the civil war, when we
blockaded southern ports and bent
every energy to maintain that blockade,
the blockade runners passed the lines
only too frequently.
War with Spain is perhaps as distant
as ever, but it is evident from her note
that she means to stand up for what
she thinks are her rights. AS we have
not sent even our first "ultimatum''
there is still time for talk and compro-
mise.

water came. They took the fibrous bark
Of a species of fir tree and tamped 1T
into the crevices. AS the material be-
came water-s soaked it swelled until it
plugged, Nothing remained but to
throw back the dirt to give to the sur
face the general arid appearance of the
surrounding country. This was not q
temporary expedient. 1t is resulted, ac-
cording to the present theory, in the
permanent destruction of many sources
of water.
To this day the appearance of slight
moisture often stimulates q search for
one of the missing springs, Occasionally
those searches are successful. the
earth is removed, the crevices are
found, the bark is picked out, and the
water after more than two centuries
of being turned back, resumes Its

Whitsltts offending Is in the declara-
ton of his opinion that the English
Anabaptists first adopted immersion
for baptism in or about the year 164l.
This, the friends OF the president say,
has stirred up an unwarranted amount
of discussion. 1t was a simple express
sion of opinion about a matter of his
tory. It's truth or falsity will soon be
brought to light, If it be possible to get
at the real facts; but, in any event,
these friends say, 1t has nothing what
ever to do with DR.. whistles ortho-
doxy. He is avowedly in hearty ac-
cord with his Baptist brethren in every
distinctive principle which they hold"
To attack him for his opinion on q
matter of history, therefore, is to
surrender the time-honored Baptist
principle of the Bible" and also ito
violate another honored Baptist prin-
ciple-freedom of speech For these
reasons the brethren throughout the
South are besought to prayerfully
unite in support of the seminary and
to abandon their warfare on it's presi-
dent. The result of the appeal will be
seen at the Southern Baptist conven-
ton, which is to meet soon.

matter, but we are against the good

PROGRESS IN THE VEST.

We do not know that the Consolidat-
ed railroad company conducts a school
for the training Of brakemen in elocu-
ton, but we do know that the brake
men on the passenger trains of that
company have during the last few
years made such progress in that pleas
ing art that one who remembers how
they used to make their little speeches
might naturally think when he hears
them now that they have had the bene-
fit of careful and special training. For
merly when they opened the car doors
at stations they hoarsely shouted a
mixture of Choctaw and Battle Axe
plug. Now mellifuous tenors smooth
baritones and sonorous bassos pleas
ingly and plainly chant the names of
the stations and give ample and clear
notice what the next station will be.
There is no stumbling, no hesitation
and no middle. 'Mamaroneck" comes
out as clearly as "Rye," and "Sauga-
tuck and Westport" as Milford" 1t is
decidedly pleasant when one is riding
on an accommodation train to hear the
frequent and helpful calling, and to
notice how well the language is used.
One Of the great railroad companies
of the West-the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul-has come to the conclu-
sion that it will make a reform that
the Consolidated railroad company long
ago made. An order has been issued
that brakemen shall speak grammatic-
ally and distinctly. An officer of the
road says. 1--WE wish our men to use
good language. 1t makes great diff
ference with us whether a man uses
good grammar or speaks as though he
In order that there may be no confu-
sion, we have ordered conductors to
tell brakemen to say, The next station
is Chicago Our brakemen do not make
many mistakes in grammar, but we
cannot help it if a man is a foreigner
and makes a mistake in pronunciation.
The trainmen understand that their
services are appreciated more when
they know how to announce stations
properly
Some of the brakemen Of the st. Paul
may feel at first as the old-time Con-
solidated road brakeman did when he
was asked to speak more clearly and
correctly. He said: you can't ex-
pect tenors for forty-five dollars a
month" But as the chanters on the
Consolidated now do so will soon do
the chanters on the St. Paul. And it
will be g. good thing for them and the
patrons Of the road, who really ought
to be plainly warned when they are
near the great and wicked city of Chi
cago,

so quaint and simple and as a result
not for many year has she looked so
adorable as she does now, with her
simple frock, white stockings, little
ankle-tied low slippers, her sash and
her loose locks.
AS to the hair, it is but little while
since youngsters had their hair bobbed
off in a straight bang over the fore
head. Then they all looked alike, and
half of them didn't look nearly as pref
ty as they should have looked, but all
that is changed now. The little maids
hair must be as beautifully cared for
as her mammals; it must be brushed,
rubbed and even oiled if need be, and
1t must not present straight bang.
So many bangs are just growing out
that the pretty fashion of butterfly
bow at each temple, holding back from
the part the locks that insist on hang
ing down, is a practical one, In the
accompanying picture this method is
varied prettily by drawing all the saucy
down. hanging locks to one side and
holding them there under a pretty bow
above the temple, while at the other
temple a few short curls escape. 1t is
no longer thought pretty to divide the
hair into separate cylindrical curls; the
hair is made to seem as thick as posi-

the ends being slightly separated into
rounded locks. The little maids hair

Simple frocks are voted daintiest for
maids of seven years or whereabouts,
and If the pretty neck is all dimples and
the arms are like pink pin cushions,
take advantage of the old time cut and
made the sleeves short with tiny puff
at the shoulders. India silks, muslins,
cashmeres and challies, as well as
heavier woods, are made up after the
dainty pattern pictured herewith,
though 1t especially suits the India silk

added. Have no trimming at all unless
