 If your heart inc1ines toward dainty needlework the platform at Agnas Calienties will appear to be small Paradise. for here is the home of the Mexican drawn work The vendors swarm about the train; under the win dows they will camp if you so much as notice them Most beautiful most fne-so very cheap!"
 Every stopping place has its eager tradesmen and more eager beggars; but such beggars as they are, tiny, satin-brown, half-clad or underclad creatures; great brown eyes under masses of tangled black hair. The youngsters of the family are the recog- nized beggars-the younger the better and more effective. 'sDemi un cen tavo,1 over and over, in long drawn out whine. Out of the novels along the road, popping out of the ground at every slackening of the train, over the roar of the wheels, in the brightest noon or dead of night, you will hear the one English phrase known to every Mexican beggar, Gimme one cent ," Or running an accompaniment to the winds and the birds, the soft, nronot- onous sing-song, ttDemi un cen-ta-vo" ]"

The safe return of the relief ship Morning to New Zealand gave to the world the news that Capt Scott, of the Antarctic exploration expedition, had penetrated to the most southern point ever before reached by man, but it did not give the details of the journey, or the hardships endured Torread in the newspaper that an expedition has reached POT miles nearer the South pole than any other expedition had ever been able to do, is cold, bare, unfeeiing fact, but to follow in the fuller details the men who have had the nerve and the endW- ance to cover those POT miles, to witness

A common mistake in jelly making is the adding of too much water with the fruit, with the idea that more jelly win be the result The more water is put in the more time 1t win take to cook trout before the jelly will begin to form.
 Another mistake is trying to be eco nomicai with sugar. There should be measure for measure of fruit juice and sugar, and any thing less will not re- suit in as good jelly and sometimes in no jelly whatever.

 the snow became softer, and the.strain told quickly upon the dogs, which broke down and ultimately died. The party then had to do relay journeys taking three sledges on for couple of miles and then returning for the other three and in this manner progress was some times reduced to two miles day To add to their hardships thick fogssenvel- oped them, and for five days the party had to steer course in the dark At last, after travelling altogether 800 miles. the party reached the Discovery, and found, to their delight, that the relief ship Morning had arrived, after dis covering the record of the Discovery's voyage, which had been deposited at Cape Crozier nearly a year before Be- fore the arrival of the Morning great prtvatfons had been experienced, part of the supplies having gone bad The Discovery was revictuaIled and the ex- plorers are now able to spend com. fortable winter and to continue their work for another year.

 That Capt Scott 'has already achieved more than any of his predecessors since Sir James Ross is made evident by the later information given out But not satisfied with that which he has already been able to accomplish. he sent the re- lief ship back, choosing to stay another year and try for still greater laurels' The utmost harmony has prevailed amongst the members of the expedition
 Lieut.. Shackleton, who was too III to stand another winter oh board thesDis- covery, returned to New Zealand with eight other.of the men who were inca- pacitated.
 It was during the great siedging jour ney to the south that Lieut. Schackleton burst blood vessel in one of his lungs, while still 200 miles from the ship, and nearly died from exposure. It was 8 most remarkable journey which Capt Scott, the lieutenant and Dr. Wilson made, while the Discoyerer was lying in winter quarters in McMrdo Bay, Vic toria Land. The party penetrated to a latitude of 82 degrees, IT minutes. south. which,. as we have already said, is POT miles further south than ever before reached by man. And in gaining this point Capt Scott and his companions travelled over 800 miles. The expedition was made under the.most trying condI tions. As they journeyed southward.

 wULY 10 to IS was a week of bat
 tie for the mastery of Fort Wag- ner, one of the grim guardians
 of Charleston harbor. Wagner became one of two models long in use at the West Point academy. The other was SevastopoL. Captain Langdon Cheves of the Confederate States engi- neers planned and constructed Wagner and gave his life in its defense the first day of attack. The Confederate out posts were driven in the morning of July 10 by a sudden dash of Federals almost out of the sea waves, and when the guns of Wagner opened upon the intruders Cheves started from his quar- ters to report for duty on the walls. He was struck by the first shell that entered the fort and instantly killed.
 The surprise of the Confederate out posts had been effected by General George c. Strong's brigade of 2,O00 men, who had landed from boats on the southern end of the island. Every man in the garrison remained on post the night of the 10th, believing that the af- fair on the beach was to be the fore runner of an assault on the fort Near daylight on the 11th the sentinehs heard the advance of stealthy footsteps and made out ghostly forms of armed men climbing the sand ridges on the beach in front of the sea wall. Georgians and South CaroHnians stood at their places, holding their fire until their own pick cts came m-
 At the heels of the retiring Confed- crate pickets the advance of the Fed eral stormers, led by Colonel Rodman, Seventh Connecticut, mounted the walls. One of them climbed to the crest in front of 32 pounder, beside which stood Lieutenant Gilchrist, com mander of the Gist guard artillery. Gilchrist challenged the intruder, re- eeiving for an answer shot from a rife held so close that the powder blinded his eyes The bullet clipped 8, lock of his hair and passed on. Sud

Practical Methods Practfced There Have~rnusht. {. LeAsen to the Entire CSxmtry-Hnrd Work . Fea-
 ture of the Scksol.

The increasing demand in this coun- try for men trained in forestry has led to the establishment, in various parts of study of forestry There is the New York State college of forestry at Ithaca, a school at Cornell university, estab- 1ished in 1898; the Yale forest school at New Haven, established in 1900; the BiltmoFe forest school conducted on the great estate in North Carolina be- longing to MT. George w. Vanderbilt; and many of the state agricultural col- leges now offer general courses in for estry- The Biltmore estate was prob ably the first private estate to put into careful practice the principles of for estry.
 This estate, which contains ftO,0o0 acres, situated in tho beautiful region about Asheville, North Carolina, is cer- tally a broad and interesting field for the pursuit of thesstidy of forestry, and it is no wonder enthusiastic students seek the advantages offered there The student at Biltmore is expected to re- main for twelve consecutive months, and to finish the work in,thattime The course, not being so long as-at Cornell or Yale, does not lead toa degree. Some of the Biftmore students have had in cauded in their year work three months of travel and study in Europe that they might become acquainted with forestry methods and results abroad Dr. c. A. Schenk, the head of the Bfitmoreschool, is a forester of German training. It is advised for all those that desire to be- come skilled foresters. to make person al study of the work as carried on in Europe.
 It was in 1891 that systematic experi- ments in practical forestry were begun upon the Bi1tmore estate. The forests had suffered from fire, grazipsand ex- cessive numbering the three arch en- emies of forest life, and when the experi- ment was started the best trees had al ready been cut But under the manage
