1t will be interesting to come of our
readers to know that Will Thompson,
formerly Of Judy, this county, and
we'll known in this city, where he has
many relatives and friends, is actively
engaged against Aguinaldo and his
braves In the far-off Philippines. He
is a member of the First Tennessee
Volunteer Infantry. A friend of this
city is in receipt of letter from him,
in which he states that he has not
heard word from home since his de-
parture from San Francisco several
months ago. He is pining for his old
Kentucky home.

MARIA TERESA UREA.
Remarkable Mexican Girl Who is Nov
with the Ynnui Indiana.

The young Mexican girl, Maria Teresa
Urea, who is d~evoutly believed by the Mexi-
can Catholics to be endowed with divine
power, is now somewhere among the Yaqui
Indians in Sonora. Mexico, and, although
they are the ~fercest tribe in that republic
and irreconcilable in their hostility to the
whites, they revere her as a priestess and
obey her as If she were their queen. There
is something strange about Santa Teresa
as they call her, relates the Chicago Record.
She is a modest. u~nassuming Mexican girl,
the daughter of a small farmer in Sonora,
with very little education. but at an early
age she developed remarkable hypnotic or
mesmeric powers, which caused the ignorant
peasants to look upon her as more than
human. A touch Of her hand is believed to
be a cure for every mortal evil and one Of
her prayers OF intercession a passport to
Paradise. She does not claim divine power,
but confesses that she does not understand
the source of her influence. Her family
were Catholics, but she has never been strict
in her observance OF her religious duties, At
the same time she recognizes that there is
| something within her that gives her the
unusual influence that she enjoys.
In 1895 / saw her at FL Paso, a plain
looking girl of 81 or 20 years, in a ~speckled
calico dress and coarse shoes, with a black
shawl thrown over her head. Her hair fell
n two braids to her waist and she looked
much younger than she really was. She was
! then living under the care OF a gentleman
named Aguirre, the editor of the Mexican
paper Ell Paso. having been compelled to
leave Mexico by the authorities, who &C
cused her of trying to incite a revolution. A
band OF fanatics somehow got a notion that
she was to be the mother OF Montezuma, the
long-looked- for Messiah who Is to liberate
the poems from servitude and restore the
splendor of the empire that Cortez plundered
and overthrow. Restless and dissatisfied pol
witicians took advantage of the mania, and, in
the name OF Saint Teresa, organized a revo-
luton in Sonora and attacked the custom
house and barracks at Nogales,
! Mr.. Aguirre may have given the movement

some encouragement, for he is an exile and
is wanted" by the Mexican police. But l
was assured that Teresa was not involved in
any way. Trustworthy people told me that
she was just an ordinary sort of girl, without
any special force OF character or intellect,
but possessed of a mysterious power like that
OF the magnetic girl who came out of Georgia
a few years ago and seemed to have the
strength OF a locomotive in her slender ln-
gers. Santa Teresa has some such physical
popularity, which gives her a mesmeric
influence over people to when it may be
applied, and she has cured hundreds OF sick
and lame and blind. The Mexicans hang
her portrait over their little shrines beside
that of the Virgin Mary, but when we talked
with her she laughed at the suggestion of
her divinity and Indignantly denied that she
was to be the mother of the redeemer Of the
Aztec race. She is now living among the
Yaqui Indians in an obscure mountain viii
lage in Sonora. which is constantly visited
by pilgrims and sick people in search of her
healing power.

HOW TO MAKE 4 HOME.
some Ideas Suggested by Fifty Pros
pective HOusekeepers.

The attempt recently made by.an eastern
magazine to get up a symposium on house
hold suggestions resulted in responses from
fifty young women, These future house
keepers sent in their individual ideas as to
how the domestic economy OF a family could
be best managed, and one young woman
suggested that each member OF the family
be encouraged to offer suggestions on any
matter about the house which he thought
needed reforming. These ideas were TO be
entered in a book, like the complaint book
in some clubs, and at the family meals the
pros and cons of the various offerings were
TO be considered by the entire assembly.
The idea may work well enough on this
side of the Atlantic, but one despairs Of see
ing a choleric British p~aterfamilias and his
spouse sitting down meekly to hear '~'sugges-
tions" from their offspring on the manage
ment of the house. Imagine one OF Miss

they are but slight variations Of the styles
in vogue at the time Moses piloted the chill

The rings worn in early times were not
purely ornamental, but had their significance
as signet rings. A kings messenger deliv-

signet as authority was obeyed implicitly.
The Romans had a marriage ring of iron
with a jewel of adamant, signifying eternity
and constancy. History mentions a magic

the Jews and Mohammedans have abundant

She Rebels Against D~iscomforts in
Her Up-to-Dnte Clothing.
The first few days Of her visit at a country
house this summer girl went about with
trailing skirts, skin-tight sleeves, a sylphine
waist and her neck properly choked by high
stocks, banded ribbons and yards Of fluff.
She looked very swell, she felt-well, every
woman who has had to tag around with
company clothes and company manners as a
summer bondage knows how this girl felt
while she waved her fan, hitched her swirl
ing draperies from under foot and plucked
viciously at her binding collars when no
body was looking.
The weather kept growing hotter and the
clothes more burdensome. One morning the
fashionable sufferer drove into the village
with a dress suit case and two big bundles
In tow. When she came back the case and
bundles we're not with her and she looked
mysterious, but satisfied, IL qulzzed regard
ing her mission.
A few days afterward the explanation
came when she whisked into the breakfast
room looking anything but la mode and yet
so comfortable that all the women stopped
tanning and stared.

as convenient and not too narrow at the
top.
For the best color in globes yellow or
white gives the best results. Green is not
so desirable, and, although much affected
by students and others who burn the mid
night oil, it is easy to be seen that the
area of illumination is contracted, while in
the daytime no lamp can show to advantage
when hooded in the dark shroud Of the
green glass.
There are about eighty-fve styles OF
burners on the market and the great trouble
is with the wioks. This is a crucial test
Of patience to the housewife or the maid
who has the care of the lamps, and truly
it is one which would try Job himself. Re-
wicking, which Is necessary so often; the
care OF the wicks, rubbing the wick each
morning; the charred portion, which in
sists on falling on the burner with the in
telligence of original sin; the gummy sub
stance which forms on the tubing around
the wick-all these are exasperating trials.
All these may easily be overcome by a
few simple rules, so that almost any lamp
will give satisfaction.
First, be careful to see that the wick
space, or tube, Is perfectly straight and
even, 80 that the wick will not bind any
where. Next see that the draught supply
10 perfect anu duequdte 10 support a large
flame. Also do not neglect to have the
reservoir at least two-thirds full of oil.
Lamps are many times blamed for giving a
poor light when the whole fault lies with the
maid who did not feed the lamp enough
food to support its life. Last, and we'll
nigh most important OF all, see that you
have the proper wick. 1t should not fit
the space too tightly, should not be woven
too compactly and should be made of a
material as nearly noncombustible as is
practicable.
Lamps from a sanitary viewpoint are
not nearly so Objectionable as is supposed,
and are, as a matter Of fact, not so in
furious as gas. The latter is detrimental
to plant life, whereas lamps are not. Flor
lists know this we'll and gas is not found
in the hothouses and greenhouses whence
come the floral beauties Of New York's
market; they use kerosene lamps altogether.
Lastly, the housewife who really under
stands the care of her lamps will give
the reservoir a thorough cleaning once a
month, and If the wick has become clogged
with the waste matter 1t has drawn up
she will replace 1t with a new one.

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS.
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
Thnn Arc Single Women.

Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
Than Are Single
1t appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken in their notion that there
is an enormous surplus Of unmarried women
in this country. The truth is that no such
excess of spinsters exists, reports the Gin
cinnati Enquirer; in fact, it Is quite the
other way, the bachelors ~outnumbering the
maidens. At the present moment there are
in the United States 1900, 900 more unat-
tached males than females similarly stu
ated, the exact figures being 5,427, 767 bache-
Tors against 1924, 494 spinsters of ages from
90 years up. Thus it is obvious that IL girls
do not find husbands it is not for lack Of
a plentiful supply Of the article. What is
required, seemingly, is a general migration
of spinsters from the north and east to the
great and growing west, in parts of which
there are ten available mates for ever maid.
From the last remark, however, 1t must
not be inferred that there is actually an eX-
cess OF unmarried women in the northern
and eastern states. Even in those parts of
the country there are more bachelors than
spinsters 20 years old and upward, not
withstanding the theory to the contrary SO
widely accepted. No state in the union has
as many maidens as bachelors-not even
Massachusetts,, where the figures are 219 ,255
spinsters, against 226, 0S5 bachelors. Mas
sachusetts is the banner state for spinsters,
the bachelors outnumbering them by only
two-tenths Of 1 per cent. Next comes
Rhode Island, where the excess of bachelors
is 2 per cent. The excess Of bachelors in
the District OF Columbia is s per cent, in
North Carolina 8 per cent, in New Hamp-
shire 9 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent,
in Maine 81 per cent and in Vermont "a per
cent. In Maryland the bachelor surplus Is
10 per cent, in New Jersey 1t is % per cent,
in New York it is 26 per cent and in Vir-
ginia it is % per cent. All Of these are low
percentages so far as the superiority of
bachelors in point of numbers is concerned.

WISE VIRGINS AND THEIR LAMPS.

Care Needed i'm Order TO Make the

That lamps have of late steadily grown
in popularity, says Harper's Bazaar, is a sign
of our growing national instinct for beauty.
The flicker of gas and the hard, uncom-
promising glare OF the electric light have
alike proved trying to many whose sense of
tone values in light is too fine to be salts
fed with crudities. The warm, subdued
tone Of the shaded lamp easily places it in
advance of all rivals. while even in day
time a handsome lamp is as distinctly an
ornament to a room as any article of bric-
a-brac.
The great bugbears about lamps are the
chimneys and the wicks; on these and on
the kerosene odor depend the objections.
All of these may be readily overcome. A
