the end of the route is SO miles, and it
requires a good deal of stouthearted-
ness, liberal supply of self-confdence
one to make the trip.
Miss Burks' mail route leads through
as wild and desolate a region as one can
well imagine. Rocky, barren, noun
tainors, bleak and blasted are weak adj
jectives for description. What tiny
streams there are are poisoned with al
kali. Navajo Indians, and occasionally
an Apache, who has left the reservation,
are somewhat plentiful in that region,
but white men very seldom go there,
and then only to get the gold, silver and
copper which have been literally strewn
throughout this blighting, fierce re-
gion. Nothing in the way of vegetation
can grow there.
Along the western border of this
desolate, uncanny wilderness Sarah
Burks rides twice a week. Generally
she is alone, and if she has a companion
he is either a miner, commercial trav-
eler or territorial lawyer who has
rented horse from Miss Burks' father,
and she is to collect payment for the
same and see to its care. She says she is
fatalist, and no matter how much
danger may environ, she will not come
to her death until the appointed hour.
She is always armed, and when mere
child she was the crack shot of the
mining camp at Harqua Hala. She
rode the route first in 1898, when her ia

north of Manila he fell into regular

His companions left him on the ground

the number of apparent wounds, to say
nothing of those that were not APP

The action too place in the morning
and it was not until nine o'clock at
night that he was taken to the hos

received in honorable battle, is 8 fu-
ture that is not appalling to him.

Beauty is more than tskin deep, y

How Boys Can Make the Sport Pictur-

time, but have you ever done SO at
night2 Many very pretty and very
weird effects can be obtained by this
night kite flying. For instance, you
can take an ordinary kite, and upon
it, with brush dipped in phosphorus,
trace a face. When the kite is high
up in air, there grinning down upon
you, will be face of fire. Or you can
trace circle upon the paper, cover it
with the phosphorus, and then you
will have far up in the air pale yell
low globe bearing very strong re-
semblance to another moon. Many
very striking effects which your in
genuity will suggest to you can be
obtained in this way.
In using the phosphorus, however,
be very careful, as it is chemical. If
you fly the new box kites very pref
ty effect can be obtained by hanging
little Chinese lantern to each corner
and also along the string with which
you hold it. AS the box kite is very
steady, there is comparatively little
danger of your lanterns being blown
out, and the appearance of these many
twinkling colored lights high up in
the air is very beautifully. Y.

Licking Postage Stamps.

In connection with the practice of
stamp-licking, a medical contempo-
rary says: What layman would sus-
pect that the unassuming postage
stamp could become an active vehicle
for the spread of deadly ailments?
Yet so it is, and the name of stamp
hckers' tongue" has recently been
brought to our notice by two dstin-
guished medical men. 1t is known to
the few that the common postage
stamp owes its adhesiveness to the
serum of the horse. 1t follows that
the film drawn from such a source
may, or even must, at times be
charged with microbes Of a more or
less hurtful nature. If a man licked
a large number Of stamps daily over
a sufficiently long period of time the
chances are he would set up cancer of
that much-abused member. The dam
ger has long ago been recognized by
the postal authorities of this country,
who have placed hampers on the
counters Of the post office.

Want to Sit III q Comfortable Seat and
Hear Tunes.

There are multitudes of them in
London. They go about uttering the
passionate cry; ~Gsge us tunnel"
| Their desire for tune might well
move diminished seventh to tears
or cause the stottest-augmented
fourth to quail and respect the triad,
says the London World. Itisno man
ner of use telling them that there are
tunes in the operas of Wagner, that
the '1Aleistersmger" streams with
tunes, that Tristan" is full of melo-
dy, that the woodbird music in ssDie
Walkure" is magically tuneful, that
the overture to "Tannhauser" and
the third act of NLohengrin" con-
tain airs that turn us into mandarins.
They reply that they want tunes that
are tunes. Never argue with them.
1t is useless and leads to dscords, and
they prefer discords, though very
often they could not tell you the diff
ference between one and the other.
These partially musical people, who
swarm like bees in the busy streets of
London, like something tripping.
When violinist suddenly plays piz-
zicato they suddenly think him an ex-
traordinary violinist. When player

sound like something that it is not
for instance, when violinist pro-
duces tone like harp by playing
natural harmonic note pizzicato, or
bassoon player produces sound like
an alderman asleep after a city hall
dinner by means that need not be de-
scribed-they are enthusiastically de-
lighted, and hastily acknowledge mu-
sic to be the greatest of the arts. They
dread fugue more than pestilence,
piece of strict counterpoint more than
famine. Talk not to them of subject
and countersubject, of sequences and
modulations, of exposition-which
they connect with Paris and the next
century-and of inversion. They
cannot dissect music, nor do they de-
sire to. They decline to use their in
tellect in connection with gay art
las they consider it. What they want
is to sit in comfortable seat and hear
tunes. Yet they are partially mu-
steal and they have every right to be
considered. Also, they can be gently
educated, if you don't let them know
it, Just as children can swallow pills
if they don't know they are swallow
ing pills, but are totally unable to get
them down if they do.
