THE RUINS OF militia.
One of the sights In Mexico Which
Make Tourists wonder.

Raised on artificial platforms of earth,
faced with stone TO II height Of five OF six
feet above the bedrock or it's scant over
soil, stands a series or buildings SO re-
markable that we can little wonder at
the unstudious admiration which has
dubbed them palaces" The buildings
are low (the earthquake is no new iuven-
ton in the state of Oaxaca. nor is the
plotting against it,, quadranguar and APP
parently of solid stone. Their proper
tons are. despite the lack OF height. adj
mirable and impressive, and their Orna-
mcutation is as clever stonework as was
ever done by man, savage or civilized.
If it does not stand for such force of
numbers or such magnificent chiseling as
the stupendous carved monoliths of Tia
huanaco bolivia and the Sncsahuaman
G'crul or the sculpture Of Chichcu-Itza
Nucu'nm or Nineveh and Babylon, it
marks at least as much patience and in
gcnuity and is unique Nowhere else in
the world outside of America do we find
this architectural device. That in itself
is enough to give prime interest to Militia,
the nose perfect type of this invention.
The walls of Militia are in reality
though the tourist never dreams it-bullt
OF adobe, faced inside and out with
amygdaloidal stone. The outer face is
the so called 'mosaic"-the checkering or
teSsclation, in one color, but in relieve,
which forms one of the most effective
and admirable facades ever built by the
hands of man. The design, which is as
tOnshingly fertile and varied, was made
by facing the adobe wall apparently
made while it was yet wet with tens Of
thousands of small slabs broken careful
~ from favoring quarry and dressed"
by rubbing them on other stones These
slabs are in size and shape something like
the old Spanish floor tile that is, proper
tionately not more than half as thick as
our ordinary bricks, which they surpass
in regularity. Chicago News.

The scissors wero brought, but as the joint

Didn't Know His own Song.

A writer in Bird Lore says; Several
years ago, when in western town, |
was taken to neighbours to see his
birds. ISour cages swung in the shelter
of a commodious porch. One contained
red winged hlackbird that had been taken
from its nest when very young and
brought up by hand. His associates
were canary, n bluejay aud an oriole.
The canary had been purchased at bird
store and had there learned its song. The
bluciay and oriolc had been taken from
neighboring nests and had no doubt pick
ed up the characteristic notes Of their
species from the many other members Of
their kind that inhabited the vicinity, but
it was many miles to the nearest swamp
or lowand whore one might find red
winged blackhird. This red wing had
learned perfectly the notes of his Gagged
companions and had picked up some
notes of other birds in the neighborhood,
but not one note of the red winged black
bird did he know

A EiRhlnnd Deer EOrcsf.

A highland deer forest is not, of course,
n vast, densely wooded park. AS high

dered that trees were wanting there,
whoever heard of forest with trees
There may happen to be trees in the for
est; natural birch woods may cling 20 tho
sides Of n glen, or the lower slopes Of tho
hills around the lodge may be clothed
with modern plantations of fir and larch,
but these arc merely ornamental fringes
of the forest. The forest itself Is great
waste of mountainous moorlAnd, treeless,
brown with heather or gray with coarse
grass-e wilderness sacred to the red deer,
from which human dwellings are ban
ishcd
The many hundreds Of square miles OF
bleak, high lying moors now devoted to
deer forests never could have maintained
a large population, There have been farms
and crofts in the green patches in ~
glens, and in the old times the cattle were
driven in the summer to the sheilings high
I'D among the hills. Now the only people
who live in tho forest throughout the year
ARE the forester and his family at the
lodge, with perhaps an underkeeper there

The Little Japanese and Her Hair.

The Japanese Women's hair is twisted
and coled into elaborate snd fantastic
patterns which few eastern hairdrcssers
could initiate or equal.
The hairpins used are not so much
for combining the locks in their places as
for actual adornment and are very fash
ionabe. They are of enormous size, sew
en- or eight inches in length and half an
inch wide and are made of various sub
stances, tortoise shell, carved wood and
ivory, many of Them being composed of
carved figures adroitly piyotcd so as to
appear TO dance at every breath drawn
by the wearer.
Others are made of glass and are hol-
low and nearly filled with some bright
colored liquid, so that at every move
ment of the head an air bubble runs
from one end of the pin to the other,
producing a most curious effect in a
strong light.
Sometimes an extra fashionable wo-
man will wear n dozen or more of these
pins in her hair, so that at Il little dis
lance her head looks as if a bundle Of
firewood had been closely stuck into it.

WASHINGTON As A SENTINEL.

THE PRESERVING SEASON..

OF Ceylon's spicy breezes
We many times have sung,
Aud we have heard about them
Since days when we were youn.s
But now to sniff such fragrance
We do not need to roam,
For spicy are the broezes
That float around the home.
rs now the time when women
Forget about their nerves
And spend their days and evenings
In putting up preserves
They're pccring into kettles,
They're closely watching pans,
And at the proper moment
They're filling jars and cans.
They're making jams and jellies
And sweetest marlnaladc,
And fruit fresh from the orchards
Is into butter made.
They're pairing. seeding, slicing,
A work in which they're skilled
And when a kettles cmptied
Again it's promptly filled.
And sweet ia the aroma
That permcstcs the air,
The fragrance Of the spices
Dropped in with greatest care.
And az afar it's waited
To Ceylon we then show
That there are other places
Where spicy brcezes blow.
Thc women burn their fingers,
And pretty faces. too,
But patiently they're working
Until the task is through,
And. though the bubbles grumble
When women thus prepare,
Sust watch them in the winter,
Ard see them grab their share.
