MEXICAN SENORITAS.
Are An Their Prime from II 10 20 ~
to Facial Beauty, After That
Begin 10 Fade.

Much has been written OF the beauty
Of the senoritas Of Mexico. Many Q
tourist goes to the southern republic
with exalted ideas Of the charms OF
the high caste young women with
raven hair, soft olive compilations and
bewitching eyes. Evidently the charms
Of its matchlessly balmy climate and
the wonderful picturesqueness OF
scenes everywhere have blurred the
critical vision of many of the writers
when they came TO dwell ypon the
beauty Of the senorltas in general.
A large part of the Mexican young wo-
men have prominent, heavy noses.
This Characteristic is more noticeable
among the people in the rural pueblos
in the valleys. says a writer in the
Chicago Chronicle.
From Ia to 20 most senoritas are in
their prime so far as facial beauty is
concerned. From 20 to 80 the dark
pigment in their complexion develops
rapidly and nine out of ten of them
ruin the softness OF their compilations
By inordinate use of the cosmetics and
face washes. which comprise a sur
prisingly large proportion of the ma
tional imports from Europe and the
United States.
There is no denying that the eyes
of the average Mexican girl. except In
the lowest classes. have peculiar
mildness. The long, heavy eyelashes
over the dark eyes give an expression
of seriousness and pathos that one
never forgets. The hair of the senorita
il seldom fine and fiossy. All the wo-
men in the peon class dock their coarse
hair squarely across the forehead,
while the young women OF the upper
class deck their foreheads with an in
finite lot OF frizzes and intricate mazes
Of finely spun curls.
A curious fact is that some Of the
old families in Mexico have followed q
fashion in hair arrangement charac-
teristic of the particular family for
several generations. For instance.
there is the rich and powerful Yorba
family OF Chihuahua. Every women
In the family for more than 100 years
has frizzed. curled and plastered her
hair after the style Grandma Yorba "a
famous belle in her day and an &C
quantance of old Queen Mercedes)
adopted in the last days of Spanish
dominion over Mexico
The exquisite black lace mantilla
shading the eyes, the high comb and
the coral and pearl jewelry become a
senorita more than they would any
other woman in the world. Perhaps 1t
Is the oddness Of these graceful charms
that has won the general praise of so
many visitors to old Mexico. The
senorita at the opera with her coquet-
fish fan, her berosed hat and her gorge
ously colored silken gowns looks very
attractive, but at close range only q
few of the women have the freshness.
the vigor and the clear-cut. refined ex-
pressions Of American young women Of
like station.

TO APPOINT NEW BOARD
WILL NAME MEM
 BERS FOR THIS COUNTY.
Law Provides for Change in Board of Revenue on April 4, But No Applications Have
 Been Received.

Governor Jelks will on or before April 4 appoint five members of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County. The appointments will be under the provisions of the law which recently passed both houses of tho Legislature and received the approval of the Governor.
 The new appointees will succeed the members at present serving upon the Board. They will be appointed from the five revenue districts created by the law. The new law declares that the Clerk of the Board shall not be a member. The Clerk will be selected by the five mem- bers of the Board. He Is to keep the books and records of the Board and his salary is fixed at s, 300 annually. the law providing that he shall not receive any other compensation.
 As yet no direct application for ap- pointment on the Board has been received in the Executive Department. The Gov ernor has, however, received some letters from prominent citizens of Montgomery County suggesting the appointment of men who in the opinion of the writers, would render valuable and efficient ser vice to the County. The Governor has not, however, taken up the matter of ap- pointing the Montgomery Board of Rev. enue.

fouths Companion.
 From an anecdote told by William Ele- roy Curtis in his Yankees of the East 1t may be inferred that the attitude of the small boy toward fence is the same in Japan as in other countries
 MT Gobel, the missionary, built himself '"The Bluff," south of Yokohama and surrounded his grounds with the first fence that was ever built in that part of the world. It was made of bamboo pail ings, and the boys of the neighborhood used to annoy the good missionary greatly by rattling sticks against 1t as they ran along the street.
 The British admiral lived just above him. and had a very natty Tommy Att kins for an orderly. He wore a little round cap on the northeast corner of his head, and always carried a little cane of rattan in his hand. One morning. having been sent with a message, he appeared before the admiral with his face bruised and his uniform battered and torn and covered with dust.

A Ship on Shore.

Youths Companion.
 Mensa, a native African, who accom- panied Mr. R. A. Freeman on his jour ney through Ashanti and Japan, seemed to regard all the hardships and discom- forts the party encountered as joke. He had once been laborer on a steamer and was very fond of personating ship, to the amusement of the other carriers. MT. Freeman describes this joyous Afri- car as follows:
 As he sat on the ground devouring a plantain he would inform the assembled company that he was taking in cargo; then he would sit for a while and get up steam, and when the bugle sounded the advance he would rise and take up his load and start himself with a great ringing of imaginary bells an loudly spoken orders to go full speed ahead. and finally trudge off with his machinery clanking and his propeller humping an imaginary sea.
 When he waded across the streams he usually took soundings with his feet, and announced the depth by shouting in gen. uine nautical style: And a half-five." |" or whatever he considered the depth to be; and once, when he slipped over head and ears into swamp, he emerged drip ping and grinning, bawling. No sound ings"

Queer Farming Methods There.

Philadelphia Record.
 Strange are some of the farming meth ods of California" said Benjamin Mann. who recently returned from a visit to the Pacific coast. One day in the vine country, heard a tremendous bang, bang. banging and started from my seat, thinking that a dreadful explosion had occurred. But my host told me. with a laugh, that L!s men were merely blowing with dynamite. Then he went on to ex- plain that when 1t was desired to losen up the soil to a depth of three feet or so dynamite cartridges were set in the earth and fired off. They broke up the ground beautifully. They did the work much better, and much more cheaper, than any machine or any manual labor could do. And, In addition to this, they destroyed the parasite called the phylloxera, the bane of the vine-grower. No vineyard whose soil had been dynamited, my host said. ever suffered from the phylloxera afterward."
