ILLUMINATING OF THE TWELFTH
CENTURY.
How Skilled Artisans Became the
World Famous Artists and Formed
Historical Guilds.

There is now on exhibition in the north
west gallery and pavilion of the Library of
Congress a most interesting collection of
cuttings from missals, chorals, hour books
and other ancient manuscripts, which has
been loaned by Mrs. Thomas f. Richardson
of this city. These cuttings consist of
miniatures initial letters. borders and
pages of illuminated text which show the
style and character as we'll the develop
ment and decadence of the kindred arts of
minia ture painting and Illuminating. For
the convenience of the public the mina-
lures have been arranged in open cases in
the gallery, where they can be viewed col
lectively al well as Individually and the IL
luminations and printed pages have been
placed in a folding frame. in the adjoining
pavilion, in which they can more readily
be studied.

into the drinking water furnished by the
railways? Is 1t pure? Are the tanks and
coolers kept properly clean? Is the water

New York the Apple State.

New York is the leading apple produc-
ing State of the Union, with Ohio second
and Pennsylvania third. Missouri may
have more acreage set to apples than any
other State, but when it comes to filling
barrels with the fruit, New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio can beat her three and
four times over.
Missouri is credited with having no less
than 20,040,399 apple trees. but she stands
sixth in the matter of production. New
York has 1904 So trees, but her proddc-
tive capacity is barely equaled by the COM
bined capacity of the States of Missouri,
Kansas. Illinois and Arkansas.
Every tree in New York State gives an
average crop of three and one half bushes,
giving total productive CAPACITY of 3d.
40. 700 bushels. and putting the Empire
State in the first rank with more than TO-
G00.G00 bushels to spare over 3G.Sl6.5OO
bushels produced in Ohio, and an addition
al million bushels il. Pennsylvania. There
are II States in the United States which
have more than 100000 apple trees with
in their borders, showing that the apple is
Il popular crop.
One fourth of the States apple crop is
raised in the Counties of Orleans, Erie,
Wayne. Monroe and Niagara. Niagara is
the garden County of the State.
Ii is estimated that the - States which
lead in apple producing. gave 1I2.329,1S1
bushels OF appies last year rs compared
with 1S419S.1S0 bushels in 1901, and
800. S91 800 bushels in $500.

aye, even her promised future husband,
to attempt to kiss her. Hence
Mexican courtship is generally short, as
it is void of those blissful hours so dear
to our sweet American girls.
There is never any lnck of mothers,
married sisters, grandmothers, aunts or
other female relatives who will kindly
offer, or, rather, intrude their company,
when you take your Mexican sweetheart
to a ball. circus, a picnic, a ride-out, or
a bull fight. They are, like the poor, al
ways with u.s." This, in our eyes, singu-
lar custom has two good reasons: In the
first place, girl who would be allowed
to enjoy any of the enumerated pleasures,
though in perfectly innocent manner,
without the escort of an elderly female
relative, or who would hold a secret in-
terview with her lover, would, upon these
facts becoming known. from that moment
lose caste, because she would offend a
lons-established custom which is frequent
" more forceful than written law. In
the next place, it must be remembered
that a wOman's chastity is not protected,
as with us. The laws, indeed, exist for
the purpose. very similar TO ours, but i'll
this particular they are almost dead let
ter. Hence an injured girl, who, perhaps
by reason of her constant chaperonage
and ceaseless surveillance, was too inno-
cent of the threatening danger, would be
the easy, unprotected victim of the first
INSCRIPTIONS man with evil intentions.
Therefore, the frequent saying in Mexico:
South of the line boundary we must
look out for our girls, north of the line
for our boys meaning by the latter part
of this sentence that their youngsters
must be very careful how they infringe

The Mississippi 8 Windings.
(Scribner's.)

To begin with, its crookedness is some
thing appalling. Approaching Cairo from
the north by boat. the stranger. seeing the
city's elevators and cEurch-spires within a
stones throw, is pretty certain TO rush into
the cabin to assemble his belongings when
he has still before him tOrtuous ride of
two hours. Yet this phenomenon is not
wholly without advantages. The citizen
of mentioned Tiptonville who
misses the up-bound boat at breakfast
time does not worry over the accident. He
calmly spends the morning at home. then,
after dinner. trudges four of five miles
across country to Slough Landing. arriv-
ing there i'll plenty of time-likely with an
hour or two to spare--tO catch his boat,
which, in the interval between leaving
Tiptonville. has been wandering through
some 80 miles of bends. Down in the
Great Bends country, below Memphis, the
south going steamer at the end of half
days travel may be farther from the Gulf
of Mexico as the crow flies than she was
at the beginning. One may go from Mem
phis to Orleans by raii-the distance is
400 miles-in single night. BY steam
boat it is, at best. four days run; the
Mississippi dilly-dallies through exactly
800 miles of twists and turns between the
two cities.

Kiss. ssippi River Roustabouts.
(Scrihner's.)

1t seems a far cry from the RACES OF the
Miss ssippi to the black stcan.boat ronSt-
about. but the latter demands attention; he
is as much part and parcel of the river as
is the water, and quite as necessary.
There is an impression that the roustab bout
is much-abused Individual an lnciina
ton to class him along w tn the s!ave-hke
circus hand. This is wholly wrong. The
roustabout is traveller, nomad. autocrat,
man of leisure. He is little seen on the
upper river, but in st. Louis, Memphis
ard Orleans there are enough OF MIN 10
man five times as many boats as tonch
Mt those ports. Yet lower river packets
have trouble in Shipping full crews of the
blacks-they are COM eiled to snip Tor
each trip separately, because 1T does NOT
please the rouster to take more than one
trip in n month; the balance of the time he
plays gentleman of affuence. On the
Memphis levee / listened to n group of the
brawny fellows as they lolled within the
shade of freight pile. Not one was
there who had not visited at some time
ever point in the Mississippi Valley at
which the steamboat calls. They were
equally at home in Pittsburg or Orleans,
Little Rock or Chattanooga.
In Summer the rousters are fairly Will
ing to work. though they exercise file dis
elimination in the matter of boats. Hut
in the Fall, when steamers are plentiful
and labor scarce. they become exceedingly
COY. They do not gather around the h'r-
ing mate then--he has ID come to them.
They regard coldly the average monthly
wage. Si0-they ask for 500, and even for
500 and they get it. If they hold n
grudge against the Mate of a boat they
demand his discharge. and get that. too.
But the moment. Summer or Winter.

lndiana's Monument.
By Emma Winchester Roth.

Beyond all record Of the years,
Ages before the mind Of man
Had tried to grasp with human fears
The subtle laws OF natures plan.
That being. God. who reigns supreme
And stills the tumults Of all time.
Had planned the current Of llfes stream
Deep, wide, strong, restless and sublime.
The growth OF substance and Of life,
And principles. that know no pause,
That shine eternal over strife;
That right should govern human hearts
Where'er the sous Of man are found,
RendiEg the clouds with lightning darts
To shed the light of peace around.
As on and on the ages sped,
These forces silently kept pace;
Unerringy their records spread
Tn parchment. stone and pictured face.
And ever where higher plane
or life Is reached by struggling men,
We praise their deeds in music's strain
And tablets raise to right again.
And so we here today are met
To pay a debt of bygone years,
And on the page Of time to set
A golden record wet with tears.
Here We place the wreaths and chaplets
Patriots owe the fallen brave,
Indiana's silent victors,''
Who died their country's flag to save.
Whether on the rolling pillows
Or victorious march by land,
Or writing in barbaric prisons,
They met their death at cruel hands;
Raise we here this stone to heaven,
An emblem Of triumphant right
First principle that man was given
oh, keep II ever in our sight.
And let us hope with Jone accord
IT'S written on the book Of fate,
No more shall brothers draw the sword,
No more their hearts be. filed with hate;
That peace may cover all the land,
Its mantle shining with the light
The Father sheds with lavish hand
Der lives and nations ruled by right.
And may the page illumined be
With letters shining bright as gold,
Peace Oh the earth, good will to men,"
The song the angels sang of old.
When future generations rise
And proudly view this column bright,
May this thought greet their eager eyes,
God crowns the cause sustained by right
