i FRIENDSHIPS LIMIT.

From the Detroit Free Press: This
young man is not SO confding as he
was. and his ideas of friendship are
not so exalted. Yet he takes it. philo-
sophically and is willing to place a
heavy credit in favor of experience. 81

PICTURES In THE HOME.

6 When we enter a home, among the
first things to attract our attention are
the pictures, and from them we can
read the taste-or lack of it-of the
lady of the house, for they give us the
keynote to her character" If we find
gaudy chromos, and cheap oil paint
ings made by lightning artists we
know at once that refinement is lack
ing in that home. Pictures should be
selected always with an eye to the
surroundings in which they will be
placed, says the Woman's Home Com
spanion. If the house is very large and
handsome, and money of no considera-
ton, then, of course, oil paintings by
the best artists are preferable. People
OF moderate incomes who wish taste
full homes should choose water colors,
.engravings Or etchings if they can be
afforded. Artists signed proofs are
most desirable, but no better than
good copies. with the exception Of the
signature, which is supposed to add
value. L.. f*z'l = ~Js.l-.r ="

TO REFORM MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
~ The Mexican government has just
begun a task Of tremendous proper
tons and of ans exceedingly: delicate
nature, that of suppressing the prac-
tlce of polygamy and of promoting
marriages. IN many parts of the Re
public there is little or no observance
g of the laws relating to plural mar
riages and in some districts there is
practically no such thing as the mari
tai tie. For some time the auth critics
have been Investigating domestic re-
lations in the smaller pueblos and
settlements and they have discovered
a state Of affairs that is appalling.
The recent taking of the census in
particular served to bring to light
many instances where the natives in
the mountainous regions lived more
like animals than human beings. In
some of the pueblos there has not
been a marriage in years. In the min
ing camps of southern Chihuahua, not
more than 200 miles from the city Of
chihuahua, hamlet was found
where, in the twelve families compos-
ing the population, there had been no
marriage from the Oldest generation
z to the youngest. Neither had kinship
been regarded and families had inter-
married until the people showed
marked signs of degeneration. This
settlement, known as San Felixo,sais
reputed to be the most 1awless in the
State of Chihuahua and nearly all the
traced to this pueblo. The efforts Of
the Catholic priests toward correcting
this condition Of affairs in San Felixo
and in many other places have been
unavailing. So isolated are many Of
the settlements that communication
with the outer world is difficult and
infrequent. President Diaz is person
ally interested in the reform move
ment and it is at his earnest request
that the strictest measures are to be
taken to check the evil practices Not
alone in Mexico do these evils exist.
Across the line in the Mexican colo
MES in southern Arizona similar CON
ditions are to be found and the au-;
thorities Of this territory are just
awakening to the fact. Territorial Of
dcials are making wholesale arrests
and forced marriages. One of the
largest colonies, where marriage is not
generally practiced. is near the town
of Tempe, only a few miles from
7 Phoenix. Last week officers raided the
villages and since then fifty marriages
have taken place among the inhabi-
tants Of the village. s,.ga iii

Some Curious Bird Lore.

BIRDS without wings, Or fightIess
birds, are found in New Zealand and
Australia. Kiwi is the name of one
species. Beautiful mats are made of
the feathers Of the white variety, but
it takes ten years and more to collect
enough feathers to make even a small
+ mat, which would sell for about s15o,
Birds without song belong to Hawaii.
In Honolulu one sees bird about the
size OF our robin, an Independent sort
OF fellow that walks about like
chicken, instead of hopping like well
trained bird of the United States, and
1t has no song. A bird that walks and
sWims, but does not fly, is the penguin.
He sWims as a duck does; when ON
land he walks along in a dignified
fashion, being nearly three feet high,
or he sits in peculiar upright posi-
ton, with his queer little apologies for
wings tucked close to his side, No
nests are made by penguins, but the
one egg laid at time by the mother is
carried about under her absurd little
wing, or under her leg. In this style
she takes good care of it until the
baby penguin appears, when both
parents go out and fish for it's dinner;
fish swallowed whole is the penguins'
daily diet. They are very noisy birds,
making harsh, braying sound. The
largest of flight birds is the California
vulture Or condor, measuring from tip
to tip nine and half to ten feet, and
exceeding considerably in size the true
condor of South America The bird
lays but one egg each season, large,
oval, ashy green in color, and deeply
pltted, so distinctive in appearance that
it cannot be confounded with any 9th
er. Glossy black plumage is the birds
usual costume, with few white plumes
IN his wings; he has google eyes and
the talons are as long as a mans
hand. The California condor is rapidly
approaching extinction and museums
all over the world are eager to secure
living specimens. It is believed that
there is only one in captivity An
other large bird is the rhinoceros bird,
which is about the size of a turkey.
One recently, shot on the island of Java
had in its crop a rim from small tele-
scope, and three brass buttons evident
ly belonging to a British soldiers uni
form.-San Francisco Call.

Legend of the Goldenrod.

According to legendary lore, the
goldenrod was once snow-White. It is
said that great fields of these white
flowers nodded gracefully to and fro
as the winds swept over them, and
were quite happy until the wild flow
ers Of brilliant hues began to ridicule
them. 49, n ~ ' w.
What tame, pale, embarrassing
creatures!" said the tiger lilies.
Truly they are,' said the scarlet
sage; they are not worth looking
at'''s's. - = 90. '@h 81:
Other wild flower neighbors made
like remarks, and cast 'scornful glances
at5the white blossoms, until the latter
bowed their heads and wept. ~.-.-
t'$ eve are poor, co1orless beggars,'
they walled, while all of our neigh
bors are clothed in gorgeous ap-
parcel" AtN& sazG =, ~:
e The Autumn Wind knew why, the
white flowers were grief stricken, and
he. resolved to help them. Calling to
him the many-hued fairies that live
in the rainbow, he told them how the
white flowers. had been ridiculed by
their neighbors
Leave it all to u.s. said the fairies,
"and soon the ill-treated cnes shall
have cause to rejoice
81 Away sped the fairies to the end of
the rainbow, where, as you have heard,
there is a great pot of magic gold-dust.
Together the fairies lifted the gold
dust, fastened back to the fields and
meadows, and sprinkled it lavishly
over the dropping, heart-sick flowers,
now, sunk in sound slumber.
When morning came, the sun looked
down upon a gorgeously arrayed army
Of golden rods, and so great was the
surprise of their wild-f1oWer neighbors
that some of them Withered and died
from sheer envy 81 Ii
But, rejoicing in their good fortune,
the goldenrods proudly held up their
heads, and faithfully kept guard until
the icy winter wind, in hoarse voice,
bade them go to sleep.-D. v. f. in
