TAMALEs AND BUzzARDs.
How, According to Belief, One Pro-
 seots the Mexican from the E- Ofher.


 Down in my section of the United States there is much to interest an observing man," said Alfred J. Smith! of Nogales, Ariz., to Washington Star man, but there are two things which you don't have here which play an important part in the everyday life of portion of the inhabitants, and for the sake of brief description will designate them as buzzards and tamales.
 "The Mexicans are inordinately fond of red peppers. They grow to enormous size, compared to those you see here, and in the houses and to the caves of the porches of every Mex ican habitation, be it ever so humble, in Mexico, Arizona and California, one will observe strings of this brilliant red continent hanging with the ends of the staIK twisted into braids.
 ''The Mexican mixes the red pep pers with his food with a lavishness Indicating his extreme fondness for its hot, burning flavor, and in man. yner that is unacceptable to the Amer ican palate. It enters into the com position of all his dishes.
 "Now for the buzzards. These just Iy named scavengers of the air are very numerous in the section have named. The association between Mexicans and buzzards lies in this: The formers flesh is so saturated with red peppers that when he is overtaken by death on the plains or desert buzzards will not eat the body. At least, this is the common under standing in the section l hail from"

THE MASQUER-
 ADE BALL.

The Masquerade ball given on the 14th inst was a complete success, both in regards to num- bers present and sociability.
 This ball like many others was heartily enjoyed by the many , who were present.
 The music for the occasion was furnished by August Mineer and Candelario Apodaca. The floor was we'll looked after by the manager H. c. Overson.
 There were many costumes dis played. Among the many was MT. William Stratton dressed to represent a clown which repre- sentation was alright.
 Lula Patterson was dressed to represent an Indian squaw and she did justice to the represent tation, she was so we'll disguised that no one knew her.
 Miss Pearl Udall represented a shepherd and was equal to the occasion.
 The two little girls in blue were represented by Sylvia Peter son and Edith Waite and could not have been beaten.
 Miss Maud Noble dressed to represent Queen of Hearts, and we will venture to say that many were the hearts that had a pecul- ia rfeeling when looking at her.
 Mrs. Lydia Jensen represented Red-Riding Hood and looked as cute as a wax-doll.
 Miss Hattie Platt was dress to represent Bo-peep and looked just lovely,
 There was Uncle Sam present during the beginning of the BALL, and also a Chinaman let them be masculine or feminine they dis appeared before unmasking.
 There were many others such as: Sailorboy, Lady Clown, Waiter, Nuns, Indians, Clowns, Negroes, Soldiers, Old Men, Fireman, Red Cross, and many others which we will have to omit on account of lack of memory. Take 1t all in all it was a grand success.

FRENCH AFFAIRS

There were 197 wolves killed in France last year, and the bounties equaled 13,- 075 francs, of $2,615.
 The French government pays the Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph company $soO,Ooo a year.
 It is asserted that the wine cellars of France contain champagne enough to supply the worlds demand for three years-nearly 15O,OOO,OOO bottles.
 As the storage of bicycles in Paris during the winter months is expensive, a great many Parisians pawn their ma chimes in the Mont-de-Piete, or state pawnshop. The interest paid on the advance of money is very small, and IS great saving on what would be paid for storage. Besides as the pawnshops cannot say for certain that the bicycles will be reclaimed, they have to keep them in good order, so that they will fetch a satisfactory price should they be placed on the market.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS WIVES.
They Must Wait Long, Weary WeekB
 for Letters from Their s Loved ones. .@al

Yet, terrible as war is, with It's weary marches, battles, sickness, wounds, slaughter, death, and know ing that the soldier must endure it all, yet, I repeat, my heart sheds not its keenest blood of sympathy for him, writes Mrs. U. s. Grant, in liar per's Bazar. No, it is for the woman he leaves behind-the woman whose province it is to wait, and who, in that waiting, must endure the tor lures of a lost soul-to whom my keenest sympathy cries out. There are no braver women in the world to- day than the wives of our army off, eers, and those of our private soldiers as we'll, for the heart under the rough woolen jacket can ache as piercingly as that under the silken robe. To their honor, be it said, that in the path of duty no sacrifice is too great for them, no loved one too dear to yield.
 Six seemingly interminable weeks must elapse before a letter from the Philippines can reach the eastern part of the United States, and every sol dier's wife knows when she reads the letter that in the intervening weeks since it was written the loved hand that penned the words may have fallen palsied by Mauser bullet.
 What, too, of the women who have no more to wait for, who sit no longer at the window of hope, they from whom wars cruel avarice has robbed all that life held dearest-the widowed wives, the bereft mothers and the sor- rowing sisters. .,

A man told us the other day that we didn't publish all that happens, says an exchange. We should say we didn't, and will give few reasons for not pulp fishing everything we happen to know. Tn the first place, we have others depending on us for a living. If we were to publish everything we know and hear we would soon be with the angels. See? It would hardly do. In order to please; people we must print only nice thing about them and leave the rest for the gossips. Yes, it's fact, we don't publish all the news. If we did, would mt it make spicy reading? But it would be for one week, only. The next week you would read our obituary.

ST. PATRIcK's GRAVE.
The Saints Resting Place Said to Have Been Discovered at
 LaAf.

After ages of neglect, says the Lon- don Daily Graphic, the traditional resting place of the remains of Ire lands patron saint in the cathedral grave yard at Downpatrick have been covered with a memorial stone. The stone is a rough, weather beaten bowl der of granite, weighing about seven tons, from the mountain side of Sieve na-Largie, where it rested at a height of 600 feet. Upon the upper surface of the powder is incised an Irish cross, faithfully reproduced from one cut on an equally rough, unhewn stone found on the island of Inisclothran, one of the islands of Lough Rec, where St. Diar- mid founded his famous ecclesiastical settlement in the middle of the sixth century. Under the cross the name "Patric" is cut in Irish characters copied from the earliest known Celtic manuscripts. The simple treatment is considered to be the nearest approach to the form of monument which would have been constructed about the year 46s, the supposed date of the saints death.
 The movement was initiated by F. J. Bigger, of Belfast, who was warmly supported by all classes and creeds. The supervision of the work was intrusted to ". J. Fennell, architect of Belfast.

 We shall!also favor the sheep and cattle industries, and every interest which will increase the wealth and prosperity of the County.
