American Geography.
(From the Mexican HeraId)


Now the young Spaniards can study
United States geography. There is a lot
of geography in the United States and
some people are living on top of it. Our
only regret. in case Of war; is that the
daring dOns cannot sail their "Pelayos''
and ''NizCdyas' up to Milwaukee and
take the Bay of Naples cOnceit out of the
citizens and then drop down OFF Chicago
and give the big lard and grain specula-
tors an idea Of what war is at close quar-
ters. On the school aliases Of Spain. the
United States is depicted to be about as
brig as Asturias or AndeIucia. but that is
a frequent error in European map-mak-
ing. Uncle Sam has 7.0000oo children ac-
cOrding TO the latest Treasury estimate
(Which is always right and they can hold
down their geography as if it were nail
ed and rivetted.

The Feminine Age of Fascination.

When thirty years of age woman is
most fascinating. All the women IA
nous for power over the hearts of men,
from Cleopatra to Helen down, were
nearer forty than twenty when at the
zenith of their power.
At literary salon in Paris Baizac was
once asked by a pretty little miss OF
seventeen why it was he liked women she
would call passe. why, monsieur. even
when they are as old as forty you seem
to enjoy their society," Balzac looked at
her earnestly for a second ana then
laughed heartily He bent over 10 eX-
pIain matters and remarked in serious
voice as though weighing every WORD ne
said: Perhaps the secret lies in the sim
ME fact that the woman of twenty must
be pelased. while the woman of forty
tries TO please. and the older woman's
mower consists not as has been so often
said. in understanding and making the
most of her own charms, but in compre-
hending and with happy fact calling out
and making the most of the good qudh-
ties of the man whose favor she seeks.
There is no doubt that a man always
admires a clever woman. yet enjoys HIM
self better with a woman who makes
him feel that he is clever. OF course all
the men like being entertained for awhile
by well-informed woman, but man is
essentially vain, and he enjoys much
better the happy tact which makes him
believe that he is entertaining the we'll
informed woman.
The woman man likes best is not
always the smartest or most brilliant
No indeed. A pair of brown, sympa-
thetic ewes, a sweet voice, will do away
with all the logic and philosophy
mans brain has ever entertained. OF
course the woman must have the happy
knack of discovering what subject the
man talks about best. Then she must
listen quietly and in an interesting man
ner. Perhaps it would be good suSges-
ton for her to draw him out with happy
queries until he is astonished at his own
brilliancy.

farmers have had to keep guard on

some cases they have killed as many as
