A Modern Methuselah.

All the stories relating to very aged
people stories very familiar in the
United States. have been discounted
By a tale that comes from the Moscow,
Russia, correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. This correspondent says
that a man who is more than 200 years
old already in the third century of his
life, is said to be nj a hospital in
TOmsk, the capital IN the far-away
province of that name in western ST.
IBERIA. He is a small peasant farmer
bedridden, but still sound in his mind.
He remembers seeing Peter the Great
and the GATHERINGS. Among the doc
uments given as proof of his extreme
age is a passport bearing the date of
1868, in which he is described as a
man 60 years of age. He has been a
widower 1913 years. The certificate of
his wife's death shows that she died
in 1880, after forty-seven years of mar
ried life. His son, who died in 1924
was said to be 80 years old.
Think of it! A man old enough to
have been George Washington's faith
CT, and who was almost q young men
when Louis XIV of France died, and
living yet.

An interesting Sketch.

Capt. Pedro Sanches, the venerable
representative in the house from Taos
county, has finished the writing of a
Biographical and Historical Sketch
of Father Antonio Jose Martinez"
Father Martinez was a conspicuous
figure in northern New Mexico for SO
years. In 1862 he established in Taos
the first college in what is now New
Mexico. In 1863 he commenced the
publication of the first newspaper In
all this section. 1t was printed in
Taos on the first printing press ever
brought to this section of the United
States. and was purchased by him
from Ramon Abreu, one of the Abreu
brothers assa~ssinated in the Pueblo
Instruction in 1886. The paper was
called "Crepuscolo." Father Martinez
was born in 1898 in Abiquin, an tdied
in Taos in 1866. The Hlxe.ch written
by Captain Sanchez will be printed in
the Spanish and English languages
and will make a volume of about 12O
| pages. 1t will be found of great lit
| erary and historical merit and value
| and an important contribution to the
| history Of New Mexico. The book will
be printed by the New Mexican
Printing company.

DR.. Curry had probably a wider ac-
q%uaintance and a greater personal in
fluence than any other man througout
the entire South. He bad rare gifts
OF eloquence..a broad love of humanity,
country. and a patriotism as fervent
a sane man could possibly possess.
He rose above all sectional feelings and
never ceased to do all in his power
to promote good understanding be-
tween the north and soulful He appre-
ciated thoroughly the difficulties in
volved in the southern race problems,
but never ceased to work to make
those difficulties less and to promote
| the truest interest in both races.
| Having enjoyed peculiarly agreeable
| relations with the government and
| reigning dynasty of Spain when min
| lister at Madrid, he was the best ut
| ted to be sem to represent the United
| States at the coronation of the young
| Spanish king. The Mission was a deli
cate one. in view of the fact that
so short a time had elapsed since we
had destroyed the Spanish fleets and
stripped Spain of all that was left OF
her island empire in two h~emispheres.
President Roosevelt, who appreciated
the greatness of DR.. Curry's public
services, expressed the keenest pleas
ure in having the privilege of appoint
ing him as our ambassador on occa'
sion of the brilliant functions at Mad
rid, and the selection was well justi-
fed. DIR. Curry was treated with great
err Difference and kindness than any
other Of the ENJOYS who represented
the s~overeigns, courts and govern
ments of the nations; and thus his
brief ceremonial mission to Madrid
was of appreciate value in helping

Sierra County Mines.
From the Lordsburg Liberal.

From the Lordsburg Liberal.
Steeplerock, which has been idle SO
long, has a PROSPECT for some bust
ness this summer. The Steeplerock
Development company. which owns so
many good mines in that district. and
which has not worked any of them for
years, has concluded TO lease them.
Jas. T. and Andrew Long have taken
a lease on the Summit mine, and viii
work it. Jas. T. Long has shipped
thousands of dollars worth of ore
from the Steeplerock district and is
probably better acquainted with its
possibilities than any other man, and
he undoubtedly knew what he was
about when he made this lease. Some
Los Angeles parties are negotiating
for a lease on the Jim Grow, and some
Tucson people are negotiating for the
failing pile, which contains thousands
of tons, and which carries good values.
1t may be that the success of these
leasers will induce the company to go
to work again.

LANDS.

Ii Is reported that the Territorial
Board of Irrigation on the question
whether the irrigable territorial lands
shall be sold or leased are equally d.
vided.
The members of the board
should stand firmly for the preserva-
ton of the irrigated lands. They are
more and more valuable.
They constitute a solid basis for a
future school revenue. which will be
of lasting benefit in our educational
system. The sale of the lands dissi-
pates all possibility of a permanent
school fund for years to come. What
New Mexico needs is a permanent
school fund. gradually increasing, the
interest of which may be used. but the
principle never. Such a fund many
of The states have. In Indiana all fines
and forfeitures have for forty years
past gone into the permanent school
fund. 1t has steadily grown from
year to year., the interest only being
used for current school purposes.
The interest now in this fund Is
so large that the school system OF
that state is equal to the best.
New Mexico now has a splendid
patrimony in these lands.
ii they are sold the principle will
soon be used.
To do this is like the sale OF the
farm ~bequeathed by the father to the
son, and the dissipation of the pro
ceeds. Lei us hold on to these lands.

Samuel F. B. Morse during his

diary. The Electric Review OF New

number of interesting extracts from
this diary: Under date of August 10,
1843. Mr.. Morse describes certain
tests he had made and makes the fol

HOW 70 READ FACES.
a Practical Lesson in P~hysioanomy
by a Student Of the Science.

The following article on Faces
and How to Read Them" was writ

more or less ability in reading cnar-
acfers from faces. but there are q
number OF essentials in the science
and it is with this end In view that
the article is published.
The subject of phycOgnomy or Ia
cial character reading is one which
has interested every human being
more or less from the remotest perl
ode of ancient history to modern
times, and few people, indeed there
there are who nave not at some time
or other tried to analyze the charac-
ter OF contain people with whom they
came in contact.
In order to truly delineate human
character from the face one must
bear in mind that all features are
equally important. To the student OF
this interesting and fascinating sci
ence the nose Isl not less important
than the eyes, the chin not less than
the ears, the cheeks not less than the
forehead and vice versa.
Shakespeare has truly said: There
is a language in her eye, her cheek,
her lip tc. The first thing to be done
