The Temple of Tepoxteco, in Mex

about eighteen hundred feet. Holes
for the hands and feet were cut long
ago.
The ascent up the gorge OF Tepox-
tlan is toilsome to the last degree.
though it is narrow, yet il would
have been feasible to have made a
winding trail like the one in the
Yosemite which leads to Eagle Cliff.
But this was not done. On the con-
trary, the ascent was made as difficult
as possible by makinga a rude stairway

Cheops.
The Temple is o building of two
terraces, upon the model of the so.
called pyramid Of Cholula, which has
four terraces, and OF the Tower OF
Babel. which has eight. There was
an inclosure with an arched or vaulted
roof, supported by four pillars built
up OF masonry, which was covered
with this stucco. so that from below
to Tepoxtlan it is exceedingly con-
soicuous.
NUpon the second terrace are the re.
mains of the four pillars that sup
ported the roof and the three walls Of
the temple. These are intact up to
the spring Of the vaulting. II there
had been any openings for the pur.
pose of giving light there would have
been traces of them; but therei is none,
from which we must draw the con-
clusion that lamps were used during
the ceremonies. Had torches been
employed, the walls would havo been
blackened. The Temple was oil the
darker because it was subdivided into
two by breast.high walls that Joined

side walls of the structure. All along
these walls there was broad seat
about twenty inches high, and the
front Of this was covered with sculp.
tured slabs nearly square. These

have been substituted.

Leading n blind RAT.

Gone day not long ago." said a
brick manufacturer, zone OF my work
men saw three rats carrying long
straw across the brickyard. 1t seemed
such an unusual sort of proceeding
that he stopped his work to watch
them. Two of the rats held the straw
at opposite ends, while the third sup
ported the centre. They were max
ing straight for the river which
flowed by one side of the yard. When
they arrived at tile bank they laid
down the straw and took long drink
Then they proceeded to take up the
straw again in the same manner as be-
fore, and returned by the same way
they had come.
"This so interested the workman
that he determined to watch if they
woald come again. And sure enough,
at about the same time the next day
they appeared, carrying the straw ex-
actly as before. Having provided
himself with gun, he shot all three,
to see il possibly he might thereby
solve the mystery. He discovered
that the rat in tho centre was blind,
and therefore concluded that this was
the animals kind method OF leading
their afflicted comrade TO the water to
drink. ."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

ventional designs. The coat Is one
OF the shortest, and short even as re-
CARDS the elongated front, which can
be called long only because the back
is 80 far from that. The way III
which the braid is applied seems
more in keeping with the idea of
the tailor-made gown than does the
wandering floral pattern that is often
used. Mink fur lines the high collar,
and mink plays an important part on
the hat, where it forms the crown.
The charms of black and white are
to be seen in an extremely plain but
very fetching gown. The skirt Of
black cloth is unrelieved with the ex-
ception of row of white stitching
The dainty little bolero is bordered
by row of the white stitching, too,
and is fastened with buttons of black
and white. On the revers and collar
another note is brought to bear, for
they are faced not with white, but with
a delicate corn-colored material. The

Three of tho Seasons Trlumphs.


On many models lace motives are
mingled and form part of the appliqued
garniture. The arrangement requires
taste, but when properly treated the
effect is absolutely charming. To look
its best tho shade chosen for this style
of trimming must not correspond ex-
actly with that of the dress, but iu
preference be a shade or two lighter
when the lace which accompanies it is
white, and darker in the case of black
lace being chosen. One of the most
striking costumes OF the season is
shown in the large engraving 1t is a
piece-dyed robe with scarf draperies
of fancy material, and is from the Dry
Goods Economist. The costume on
the left of the large engraving repre-
sents a tailor-made princess robe of
Dresden blue satin de laine, trimmed
with scroll design iu steel beads. A
similar adornment conoeals the back
seam on the skirt and oorsage.
The central figure shows q
rich silk visiting dress of "roseau"
green, with side panels of handsome
cream-oolored renaissance lace, framed
on either side by three folds of dark

bulges slightly in front, but without
fullness, has bretelles and epaulettes
of the same lace, which terminate at
the shoulder seam. Cuffs of the same

II is time for our people 10 wake
up and insist that Congress shall do
something effective to stop the adult
eration of food and medicines. The
only thing, however, that Congress
can do is to control the interstate
commerce in adulterated articles and
regulate their sale in the District Of
Columbia and the Territories. That
we have not hitherto found IL practi-
cable to pass national pure food Law
to this limited extent seems scandalous
since we are behind every other civil
lied nation on earth. But we must
understand the meaning of the term
"adulteration. No one c0ntemplates
prohibiting the substitution of an ar
tifcial for natural article. No one
will be prevented from putting chic
cory in the place of coffee. or from
making animal fats look and taste
like butter. Manufactured honey
may be just as healthy and palatable
as the product of the boes. What 10
intended is to prevent the swindling
connected with such practices. Our
trade morals are fearfully defective.
and it is the function of Congress to
do all it can to improve them. Hence
the object of the law should be to
make the manufacturers by true labels
tell the truth about the contents of
their packages and bottles. The
public should know what it is buying.

account of voyage to the Polar re.

nected with those who were for long
time absent from their ships that the
hair ON their faces was bleached quite
white. The loss of color was gradual,
and, though noticed, was never alluded
to, each one imagining that his COM

time that it had faded to white"

Legend of Lace-MakIng.

A very interesting story is told Of
the origin of the famous guipure lace
in the Home Needlework Magazine.
1t is that of sailor lad from the In
dian seas, who, returning to his home
in Venice, brought to his betrothed, q
worker in needlepoint, bunch of the
delicate, pretty coraline, telling her it
was lace that the mermaids made IN
tho coral caverns under the waters of
the Indian seas. pretty as it is"
said the needleworker, II will make
something with my needle far prettier.
My bridal veil shall he of the mer-
maids lace" The sailor lad sailed
away and was gone for months. Day
by day the young girl worked with her
needle, forming white knots and tiny
stars and uniting them all by delicate
"brides" until an exquisite long scarf
OF guipure was produced, so marvel
ously beautiful that when she wore it
as her bridal veil all Venice went wild
with admiration, and many noble
ladies, princesses and queens became
the patrons of the young laceworker.

Black velvet is seen in some form
on nearly all light gowns. Bands
across the front, in many cases, ap-
pear to fasten the skirt. Others, again,
have wide black velvet band from
the centre of high stock, secured in
front by buckle. The favorite way,
however, is to thread white lace with
narrow velvet and use the lace as
trimming. Entire gowns are made Of
this velvet, threaded with insertion,
sewed deftly together.

The cooking school was formerly o
standing joke because it was a sort
of society" affair, merely diversion
of fashionable young ladies who
thought it great fun to play at cook
ing, just as children enjoy making
mud pies. But now we have cooking
taught in a practical and scientific
way. Whether woman be the
daughter or wife of poor man or the
child of fortune, whether she live in
cottage or n palace it is great ad-
vantage to her and to those about her
for her to know how to cook. Much
of the misery of life and, we have no
doubt, a considerable proportion Of
crime is attributable to bad cooking.
1t involves waste of food and an in

happiness and i'll health upon many

the final account will probably be
found to play larger part in shaping
its destiny than either its statesmen,
its soldiers. its philosophers, its
poets or its historians. Therefore let
us have good cooks.

The young man who would succeed
in life must have great confidence In
his own ability to achieve success,
This is foundation stone, and with
out it his building will either never
go up. or will topple. The men who
have achieved results in life have
been men who believed in themselves;
men of large hope and of optimistic
views. Despair never yet won a VIC
tory. Confidence must always pre-
cede action, A young man can never
accomplish anything in the world till
he is thoroughly convinced that he
can. Pessimists have never done any
thing except to put stumbling-blocks
i'll others way. 1t is the cheerful.
hopeful man, the man who believes
that the world is growing brighter
and better, that is of value to the
world, not the man who fears failure.
talks failure, thinks his work will be
n failure. The very attitude or hab-
itual condition OF ones mind has q
great deal to do with his success. A
stream cannot rise higher than its
fountain, and to achieve great success
man must continually dwell in the
atmosphere of high ideals. He must
think upward, work upward, or he
can never reach q high goal.

BIR bait BuAiness,

Charley Schuler had the finest dis
play OF minnows the other day that
has been seen in st. Louis for years.
His reservoirs contained about 18. 900.
Most of these beautiful chubs were
just the right size for big bass bait.
The cool weather makes it an easy
matter to keep the minnows alive. 1t
is no easy task to get together $4,000
to 10000 minnows a week, which
Schuler requires to supply the anglers.
He manages to get them, however. 1t
requires several men and wagons to
haul the clubs when they are caught.
Some Of the minnows come in by
train rrom remote points, but Mr..
Schuler gets nearly all his supply from
ponds he stocked year and q
half ago. He says that minnows grow
very fast, and multiply at most as
tonishing rate. He put 10. 900 in one
poad year last pring, and has taken
