La Fiesta.

At N0gales, Sonora, is now entering upon it's second week, and the crowds iu attendance are constantly increas- ing. The tents and booths are pitched in the wide thoroughfare known as Arizpe street, and big open space opening of from the street, adjacent to the big building of the Sonora Con- mercial Co.,, and here are to be nightly seen all the rare and interesting sights and performances for which fiestas are noted. Entering the ground the first tent Is the big pavilion of the concessionaires, Messrs Mark X Louis Lulley. Here are the pig games, where are nightly gathered large throngs of devotees of the Goddess Of Chance, bent upon trying their luck at roulette. faro, monte, rouge-et. noir, and other allurements of the fair yet tickle Dame Fortune. A fine orchestra nightly entertains the as- sembled multitude with strains of ravishing music, aud from we'll stocked buffet refreshments of all kinds are served the thirsty public.
 Beyond are the many booths, can tinas, restaurants, games, etc, that go to make up the atJractiyeness of the scene. In the side space is another large pavilion, with open sides, where the rawhide band holds forth to the delectation of the multitude. At stated hours there are native dances and other sports and amusements there.
 But not the least interesting to the observer are the great throDgs of people nightly cOngregating there, promenading back and forth, iu and out or the pavilions, booths etc [, beautiful dark eyed sefiOritas, laugh ing and chatting with gay cavaliers, staid matTODs, and grave and reverend gentlemen, with hosts Of little folks, all natiOnalities and races. A good place surely for one to study ones own kind
 Everything is conducted with the utmost dec0rum and order. The concessionaires- Lulley Brothers lever alert to the wants and needs Of the public, constantly here, there and everywhere, seeing that everything goes right and that all points con- tribute their share to the grand sue cess of the whole which they are surely accomplishing.

HOW TO KEEP THE HOUSE COOL.


Many things can be done 10 make even
the small house a comfortable. restful place
in hot weather" writes Maria Parloa. in
the Ladies' Home Journal for August. 'Of
course the windows must be properly
shaded with blinds or awnings. and also
well screened. All the heavy hangings
should he removed, and when possible the
carpets should be taken up or covered with
linen. Cool colOrs. such as white. grey.
light greens and blues. should take the
place of the warmer colOrs. Thin white
muslin curtains soften the light. The house
should be well aired and summed at least
once a day. The early morning is best for
this. open all the widows and blinds and
let the sun and air pour through the house.
About 9 o'clock close the blinds and all the
windows except one or two downstairs and
two or three upstairs. In the open windows
place wet grass screens. or cover the regu-
lar screens with wet flannel. When the
sun goes down open all the windows and
blinds. y skylight or window should be
kept open night and day il the attic. ex-
cept. OF course. when IT rains. The cellar
windows should be open only at night. IL
they are not closed during the heat OF the

metals. etc. and In a few days will make IL

a much greater depth OF panels, a trench"

but weak in tension. Thus in constructing

Topic for July %; Missions; True
wi, Ito.

Our topic implies that there is a false philan-
thropy, and there is. The same deeds may be
prompted by ostentation as by b~rotherly love.
The obstinate purpose to propagate some peculiar
tenet may lead 10 missionary effort quite as ex-
tensive as the longing. for the worlds sake. 10
spread abroad Christs truth. Rivalry win
some other man may lead to emulation of his
good deeds.
We need to scan our benefactions with care.
therefore, to learn whether they are real benevo-
lences-whether the will goes with the deed and
WHITES it. OF course, great gifts may 90 great
good in spite OF an unworthy motive. yet. so far
as the giver is concerned. better a dollar given
in the spirit OF love than a million dollars given
without it.
How can we get this love for men. this philan-
thropy? In the first place, we must know men.
Without the knowledge OF mems needs il is as
impossible to help them as it is for a disciple Of
Spencer TO pray TO his god, whose name Is un-
thinkabIe. If Christ is the cornerstone of mis-
sions, rms is the first foundation course.
II every church member read his missionary
magazine every month. and added thereto each
month a missionary biography, not only would
the general intelligence OF the church be decid-
eddy raised, but it would for the first time ade-
quately set itself about its great task of winning
the world.
In the second place, true philanthropy is i'm
possible without actual contact with men. Mis-
sions require boards for their proper management
societies, committees. secretaries, treasurers.
But unless the church members in some way get
into personal touch with some one missionary
and some one sin-burdened soul. mission treas
uries will run dry and mission boards will be
unsupported. There must be love OF one soul
before there can be love OF souls.
And in the third place. true philanthropy is
impossible without self-denial. No man can
serve two masters. No man can at the same
time serve self and some other man. Martin, the
soldier, was setting forth gayly from Amiens.
when a beggar, the cold wintry air chilling him
through his rags, asked an aims. Martin had
no money. but with a happy smile he drew his
sword, cut In two his handsome cloak and gave
the beggar half. That night the soldier dreamed
he saw Christ in heaven wearing that parted
garment. who gave thee thy CLOAK? ?" he heard
the angels ask. and to his rapture the Lord re-
Piled: My brother gave il to me- So II was
that the soldier became st. Martin, the beloved
Bishop Of Tours.
That is the text of our brother-love: What ara

and hand and purse? No one is a complete man
