The hour consumed in makeup and

He feels certain that he has forgotten

In the MEXICAN Housebold.

The arrangement of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is a very common sight to
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
a row of straight backed chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically un-
known in Mexican houses either at en-
frances or between interior rooms. All
doors open in the middle and are fasten-
ed with bolts top and bottom. Exte-
rior doors are always fitted with glass
panels, for they also serve as windows.
All such doors opening on the street or
open court are fitted with solid shut.

flavor and the coffee its stimulating
powers. He finds himself repeating
the words of his part, mechanically
striking attitudes and moving about the
room to assume the positions decreed
by stage business.
Ten to one he discovers that he can
not remember the dialogue of his most
important scene and he hurries to use
the manuscript. This brings him to

MICHAEL 6. MULHALL,
FAMOUS IRISH STATTSTCIAN'

Michael G. Mulhall, whose death was
recently announced, was perhaps the
best known statistician of the present
day. Mulhall was born at Killiney
near Dublin. slxty-four years ago, and
his career was full Of adventure. He
was educated In Rome at the Irish Col
lege, and he was the pioneer of the En-
glish newspaper press In South Ameri-
ca, the first paper printed there, In our
language, having been the Standard,
produced by Mulhall at Buenos Ayres
In 1853. In 1878 he returned to En-
gland, and proceeded to make his name
as the author of "The Progress of the
World" The History Of Prices" and
the invaluable Dictionary Of Statis-
tics" which finds place in every ref
erence library. Mulhall was married
TO lady whose book, Between the
Amazon and the Andes" placed her
among the ranks of ladies who travel
well and write well of their travels.

Long.Lived Birds.

1t used to be believed that the ravens
lived longer than any other species Of
birds, and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded century. Recent
studies of the subject indicate that no
authentic instance Of raven surpass-
ing seventy years of age is on record,
But parrots have been known to live
one hundred years. One lost its mem
ory at so and Its sight at 80. There is
a record of a golden eagle which died
at the age of 11S years. Another gold
en- eagle was kept in the Tower of Lon
don for ninety years. A third died at
Vienna aged 104 years Geese and
swans are tenacious of life, and ex-
traordnary accounts exist of the great
age that they have attained. Button
and other authorities have credited
them with so and 100 years Of life.

Wind that sings OF the dreamy South
When the pale first blossoms WOO the

Wind that filings from a golden mouth
Tender spray OF the summer sea,
Wind that keeps for us light and bloom
That cradles the bird in the tree-top

Wind that sleeps in the lilac's plume,

best.
Over the springing wheat-felds pass,
And over the small home gardens fare,
Evermore bringing to grain and grass
And the flowers thy breath of blessing
rare.
