Z The great Finisterre beacon, which

from the circumstance that it is paid

MUSICAL MEXICO.
a Land That Has Many Good Mill
tafy Bands.

t0fy B0udSs
One does not have to travel far or
stay long In Mexico to discover that 1t
is quite as much musical country az
any other in the world, says Lippin-
colts. Even the stay-at-home- Ameri-
cans dozen or SO years ago fancied
that they had made this discovery,
when Mexican military bands and typi-
cal orchestras began to "tour" the
United States, astonishing as well as
delighting the crowds they attracted
everywhere. But the truth is, 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 Mexicans were to be
classed as musical people. They sup
posed. very naturally, that the famous
.-th regiment band and the&ypissl or
schestra comprised all. or ab6ut ali, that
Mexico had to send abroad: that they
fully represented 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 semi-weekly concerts In the 20
calo, the Alameda and the Paseo, In 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 q
tour in 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 Guadalajara, each
has at least one military band that
would be likely to carry off the honora
In any competition with the military
bands of America.

DIAMONDS IN A GRAVE.
The Long Search for the Hoard Left
by jacques Dupont.

by jacques Dupont.
Everybody who has worked In the
Maine logging camps has heard the
story of Jacques Dupont and the great
bag of glittering diamonds which he
hid away in his daughters grave some
where along the headwaters OF the
Aroostook river. It is creepy tale OF
cunning and covetousness, such as the
residents of Maine and Canada liked to
tell hundred years ago. Itwas related
SO often that everybody believed II, and
it was handed down from generation to
generation until it retains all its youth
full vigor to-day. Though few people Of
the present generation take much stock
in the narrative, at least one diamond
Of the hoard has been found within 90
years. It was taken to Boston jewe1er,
who offered $500 for the gem, but Jerry
Harper, the man who found Il ssasa--
carried It until he had taken few more
glasses of liquor and then left 1t In q,
fremont street barroom as security for
the drinks. When he called later to re-
cover his property the bartender had
gone, and taken the diamond with him.
According to all accounts-and they!
agree remarkably well-Jacques Du-i
pont was gem merchant OF Paris, who.
went to Quebec about 1850 to sell
diamonds and other precious stones to.
the French army officers OF the garri-.
son. He sold large number Of
diamonds, taking his pay in gold and
beaver skins, which were just as good.
Later his daughter Lucy came across
bringing more gems and beautful
face, which latter set all the officers half
wild with admiration. It is claimed
that Gen. Wolfe would never have
climbed to the plains Of Abraham in the
darkness of a September morning In
1889 If the officer Of the guard had not
been asleep with an overdose OF wine,
taken at party given In Lucy's honor
the night before.
After the fall of Quebec Dupont took
his daughter and his diamonds and
! struck south through the wilderness,
hoping to reach the Acadian settle
ments at Grand Falls and dispose OF the
balance of his stock. Though the woods
were full of painted and warlike Indi-
| ans at the time, IHey were dl 114SAo1J
TO the French, so the party Travelled the
whole way under an escortof adniring
savages. All went well until they
reached Edmundston, where Mile,
Lucy was taken with smallpox. There
upon every reHskin turned upon the old
man and daughter and drove them out
of the settlement, forcing them into the
| unexplored woods along the Aroostooh
river. Six months later Dupont came
out to Grand Falls alone, saying that
Lucy had died from exposure, and that
/ he had buried her in stone tomb near
! waterfall and had covered her body
with gold coins, diamonds, and beaver
4 skins. Soon affarzffis he .nefiirned tt

In teaching physiology, would II not

For years people here have viewed
with something akin to alarm the ap-.
parent advent of highly educated pro-
ietarianism, due to the increasing ex-
cess Of the supply over the demand for
scholars. Indeed, the extent to which
university education is availed OF here
10 giving rise TO serious anxiety. At the
prussian universities alone the number
Of students has increased as follows:
IN daYo-71 there were 6,664; In 1sTs-79,
9.5os; In 1sss-so, 1906; in 1s95-9e, a.
742. In 2s years, therefore, there has
been an increase of 100 per cent. The

desirous of maintaining university OF
it's own, but has deslsted from carrying
