The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic
and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would
not be an error to trace the custom Of
feminizing ships back to the Greeks,
who called them by feminine names,
probably out of Difference to Athene,
goddess of the sea. But the English
speaking sailor assigns no such rea-
sons. The ship to him is always lady,
even though she be a man-O-war. She
possesses a waist. collars, stays, laces.
bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches
and dozens of other distinctly feminine
attributes.-Collier's Weekly.

LIGHTS FOR BIRDS NESTS
Some Curious Habits Practiced In
the World of SOnGdom.

the "OF
Many birds suspend their nests from
the branches of trees, one of the most
curious nests of that kind being that
of the baya bird of India. 1t is hung
from the branch. with its opening at
the bottom, and hangs like an inverted
bottle. secure from the approach of
tree snakes and other reptiles. The
most curious thing about the baya
bird is that it is said to light up its
nest by sticking fireiies on its sides
with clay or soft mud. There seems to
be little doubt of the fact
DR.. Buchanan says: AT night each
of the habitations is lighted up by 4
FREELY stuck in the top with piece OF
clay. The nest consists of two rooms.
Sometimes there are three or four fire
flies, and their blaze in the little cells
dazzles the eyes of the bats, which Of
ten destroy the young of these birds"
Perhaps other animals are scared off
by the baya birds electric light. since
a writer in Nature records this curl
Gus observation: Il have been informed
on safe authority that the Indian bot
tie bird protects his nest at night by
sticking several of these glow beetles
around the entrance 10y means of clay,
and only Il few days back an intimate
friend of my own was watching three
rats on roof rafter of his bungalow.
When Il glow fly lodged very close to
them. the rats Immediately scampered
off."-Our Dumb Animals. n

UP HEAD ON A BLUNOER.
Erroneous Answer Wins Comm enda-
ton From n Latin Teacher


tion From n Latin Teacher
THE class in Latin will now recite, =
said the Latin teacher at one of the
city high schools the other day.
The members OF the class in Latin.
consisting of 80 or more bright looking
girls. with three or four boys. came
forward and took their places. All
moved along smoothly until the dec
lination of the noun ''donum" was in
order. and there was trouble. 1t was
the ablative that caused the trouble.
For the benefit Of those not acquainted
with the mysteries of Latin il may be
mentioned right here that TIE ablative
is ''dono." and the pronunciation is the
same as if one should say don't
know" slurrinS the two words, rs is so
frequently done. TO don know"
Miss JONES' said the teacher to
the head of the class, what is the
ablative of 'donum?'"
Miss Jones gave her version and
was told TO sit down. The question in
turn went down the entire length of
the class, all failing. until il reached
the last. n boy who had a reputation
for baseball and football. but none for
scholarship.
"Well, Percy. the ablative of do
NUM-" asked the teacher.
Percy scratched his head and despair
ingly looked at his grinning class
mates.
Don know" he finally blurted out.
Right" said the teacher; go up
head
And then the class broke out into 4
laugh that cost each member ten
marks, but none peached on Percy.
and the teacher to this day cannot I'M
derstand what there is so comical in
the ablative of "donum."-Chicago In

A new REMEDY,
Physicians Say That Raw Meat Is Good for
CONSERVATIVES,

The juice of raw meat is the newest
cure for consumption. Zomotherapy is
the scientific name for the new treat
ment, which has been formally approx
ed by the French Academy of Sciences.
It's inventors are DR.. Hericourt and DR..
Richet, two learned men who have de-
voted fifteen years to the study of tu-
berculosis alone, according to the New
York World.
AS in France there are more deaths
yearly from tuberculosis than from all
other ills combined, war fatalities in
cluded, a lively interest is shown in the
new discovery, which has so far been
brilliantly successful.
Tuberculosis, reasoned Drs. Hericourt
and Richet some years ago, is a wasting
of the tissues that mean life. In such
conditions drugs Or any ordinary meth
DDS of treatment are useless. The i'm
perative thing is to repair these tissues.
But rapidly disappearing animal tissues
cannot be repaired with vegetable mat
ter.
More animal tissues are needed and
they should be supplied to the patient
as quickly and in as large quantities as
possible. Raw beef taken as food SEEM
ed the most feasible way of introducing
the needed healthy organic life into the
body as a substitute for the organisms
being consumed by disease. AS cooking
would weaken If not destroy this or
ganic life, it seemed necessary that the
meat should be eaten raw
The theory was tested on animals suf-
fering from tuberculosis, who were CIV
Ell raw meat to the exclusion of every
other form of nourishment. 1t worked
marvelously. The patients recovered
applying the same methods to human
patients, who, in the weakened state in
duced by consumption, are seldom able
to digest anything so difficult as raw
meat.
The doctors next tried separating the
juice from the muscular portion of the
meat, on the theory hat it was the
juice -alone-in other words, the ami
mails blood-which was beneficial. To
one set of animal patients was given
the muscular substances from which
the juice had been squeezed, to another
set was given the juice alone. The first
set showed no improvement, succumbed
to the disease and died. The second set
recovered as If by magic,

ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECT.
A Railroad From Mexico to Northern New
Mexico,

Silver City is rather pleased that an
other railroad is projected which in
tends to make it one of it's stations. New
York capitalists are planning the line,
and are said to have $25, 900, 900 cash for
the purpose of making a start On the
project. DR.. J. M. Ford, of Phoenix, is
the promoter. A concession has been
secured from the government Of Maxi
CO to build a narrow gauge railroad to
tidewater on the gulf of California at
some point close to the Ures river, in
the state Of Sonora. The railroad is to
be 800 miles long, and is to pass along
the ella river valley to Phoenix, thence
to Globe. From Globe it is to pass to
the upper Gila valley, via Fort Thomas,
Pima, Stafford, .Solomonville, and to
Guthrie, where it will intersect the Mo-
renci Southern and the Arizona & New
Mexico narrow gauge railroads. 1t Is
to enter New Mexico at Carlisle and
proceed to Silver City. Through New
Mexico the route will be pushed north
to a connection with the Denver & Rio
Grande. The road will take in as many
mining camps in New Mexico as posi-
BILE. and proposes to build a number Of
branch lines. 1t will pass through the
Black Range. The company has been
incorporated under the laws of Arizona.

Locomotives Run with Oil.

One of the largest railroads on the
Pacific Coast has decided to substitute
oil in place of coal as fuel on its engines.
But whether the experiment will prove
a success remains to be seen. In this
respect it differs from the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which has
made a decided success in its fifty years
of cures of stomach ills such as dyspepsia,
indigestion and biliousness. Do not ex-

this safe and reliable medicine can be
had Of any druggist. Try a bottle and
be convinced. 1t will build up your
debilitated system, strengthen your
weak stomach and make it capable of

MINING AFFAIRS.
An Unusual Activity In the Camps of New
Mexico.
Denver Republican,

Denver Republican,
The unparalleled activity in mining
affairs throughout New Mexico, recent
ly begun and increasing daily in al
most every camp in the territory,
makes it a certainty in the minds of
every one interested in or dependent
upon this industry that an era of pros
perity has opened for u mining Sec
lions that from day to day will grow in
Importance and beneficial results. Now,
New Mexico has evidently been overta-
ken by that tide in the affairs of men,
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune" and it rests with us to i'm
prove the opportunity, grasp the advan-
tageous circumstances daily accumu-
lating for our benefit and reap i har-
vest of rich rewards. Fortune is knock
ing at our door; the attention of min
ing investors throughout the country is
turned toward New Mexico as never
before in her history; interest is awak-
ened in our numerous mineral bonan-
zas, and we have only to feed the flame
of inquiry for facts pertaining to il
mines, which is spreading all ver the
east, to see it burst into glorious illu-
mination.
