The inter-tribal fighting in Algeria
respecting palm trees involves prop

in the GASES about a million and q
half palm trees, OF which abou,
three-fourths belong to the Mzabites
or aboriginal inhabitants, and the
other one-fourth to the Arabs, who
have taken to the sword with q view
to short methods OF inverting the

s..... ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
This sign was put up because it was
found that the bears had become al
together too impudent, owing to the
bad habits into which they had fall
len as result of being pampered,
says the New York Sun.
Thus it happened many times la
year that big bears frightened new
visitors almost into commissions by
ambling cheerfully into their camps.
Sometimes they would follow strang-
ers for miles and the poor strangers
would race away, yelling, thinking
all the time that they were saving
their lives from wild beasts, while
the wild beasts Hoped along behind
them intent on getting nothing more
bloody than biscuit or . piece OF
sugar.
1t was not long before the folk
in the National park realized that
the bears were a great deal better
off while they remained In a perfect
ly wild state.
And then it was found that the
human beings in the park would be
be better off still; for big black and
brown bears. and now and then a
grizzly, having acquired taste for
white mans food, began TO break
into the camps aIH even the hotels
at night to steal hams, bread, cake
and anything else that was particu-
larly tempting.
The very animals that became the
most friendly were the ones that did
the most harm. There were three
especially-two black bears and one
brown bear--that became so familiar
and loving that they acted as If they
were paying board at one Of the
hotels.
They would hang around the kit
chen and the rear veranda and run
after the guests, begging for some
thing nice to eat till they had made
| nuisances of themselves. At last,
after they had smashed into a hotel
pantry and frightened women and
children almost to death, the officials
were forced to shoot them.
Now the superintendent Of the
park has issued a warning. He an
nounces that any one who feeds OF
pets the wild bears will be punished
He says that they are perfectly harm
less as long as they are kept In a
perfectly wild state and left alone
| but when persons trihe with them
| they lose all fear Of human beings
and proceed to do much damage to
property.
And every now and then they hurt
somebody who thinks that, because
they have become familiar, they are
| not dangerous any more.

THE BEAUTY OF ALL WOMEN
some Particular Point Possessed ~
EverE One, Says This
Authority.

Every woman that exists has some
point of beauty, possibly lying dor
mant, which she can develop; it may
be cultivated intellect, an inspired
soul, sweet nature, fine presence, love
ly form or beautiful face, and some
where on this great round globe some
body has recognized that fact, or will.
SO it behooves ali wopankind to look
well into themselves, and endeavor TO
improve the good points, to ameliorate
the unfortunate ones, and entirely for
get that they have any bad ones. There
is nothing SO far-reaching as self-for-
getfulness, either where beauty exists
or does not exist, says the Pilgrim.
A famous statesman, on being asked
what he considered the greatest type
of beauty in woman. replied: "The
woman who Is beautiful and does not
know 1t, and the homely woman who,
by her intelligence and graceful bear
ing, makes you forget It," Life is too
short to be constantly regretting the
lack Of some type of form or face we
do not possess. The signing for gray
eyes when we have blue, and longing
for black tresses when ours are golden
will only bring wrinkles and discon-
tent, thereby making others unhappy.
But there are ways and means pro-
yided both by nature, exercise and dis
cipline, whereby we can wonderfully
improve, eradicate and change many Of
the unhappy conditions of life.

VOLUME XIV
Anew Facts About New Mexico

Tho following extracts, taken from an
article on New Mexico by DR., AlE
Wiuship, one Of our leading educators
who is in position tO know, sizes up
the situation pretty accurately,
Dr.. Wlnship says: whether state
hood for New Mexico comes now, or
,afte: the hext presidential election, or
ten years hence, is of slight concern,
except to oflceholders and o ficeseekers,
but it will come before the people of the
United States haYe an intelligent ap'
probation OF their new sister, even If
the campaign Of enlightenment should
begin today.
For nearly third Of a thousand
years New Mexico WAS under Mexican
xule; for Fifty ears it has been under the
political rule OF the United States; for
ten years il has been under Intelligent
Territorial rule, and while the most
ardent local champion OF statehood will
not assert that the Territory from end
to end has been trained to statehood,
the most bitter local opponent OF stale
hood will not deny that it viii require
but short time at the pace Of the past
decade to prepare the Territory to JON
the sisterhoOd,
BY inheritance and language, the
majority of the residents are animated
with Mexico rather than the United
States.

schools, there was no taintest trace OF
An American school in the territory

In rememberance of the ten years that

eleven years enrolment Of 26l,eSb pu
,pila and the employment OF o59 teach
.ers to whom. total of 81, ,645 ha
been paid in salaries.
Greater yet in the remembrance OF th
names given to some OF the schools II
