New Mexico's Population.

Three-ffths Of New Mexico's popula-
ton is made Up Of real Americans
from the East and their descendants;
the remaining two-fifths are native
born American citizens Of Spanish de-
scent. Onehalf Of the latter and quite
a percentage Of the older American"
settlers speak Spanish as well as Eng
lish. A good three-fourths Of the en-
tire population speak English. About
one-fourth do not understand the Eng
lish language very well. Nearly every
person in the Territory Of Spanish de-
scent speaks some English. 1t could
not we'll be otherwise, when they have
been for fifty-seven years under the
American flag, and every person born
there under that age Is born Ameri-
can citizen. The people Of New Mex
leo have a smaller percentage Of for
eign-born people among them than any
Jurisdiction in the nation, save some
Of the Southern States. English is
overwhelmingly the official language
and the general language Of the Ter
ritory.

HOW to Cut Sandwiches.

''AIen who cut sandwiches for big
picnic must have just as much knack
and experience In the business as men
who open oysters on the river boats,
said a man who recently supplied TO-
900 sandwiches In two days notice
for a political picnic to the wives ana
children of the voters Of New YORK
district leader. 1T took seven men
to do that Job In the time allowed,
he said, land they hadn't any time TO
spare at that. l paid them by the
hundred, the man who did the most
work getting the most pay. When
they were all through there were not
enough scraps OF bread and meat to I'LL
a tin pail. That is the secret OF cut
ting sandwiches avoid waste. Inere
is such competition in the business
that we are obliged to work on 10"

RODE FOR HER LIFE
Thrilling Experience OF a Montana
Girl with Wild DOGS

Thrilling Experience OF a Montana
Girl with Wild Dogs.
Chased for more than q mile by
pack Of wild dogs, apparently a cross
between the common dog and the
wolf, Miss Gertie Sullivan, daughter
of sheepman living on Birch creek,
nineteen miles from Havre, Mont, es-
capped only by spending the night in
an old corral and picking of the ami
mails now and then with rifle bullets.
Miss Sullivan was riding her pony
across the prairie when she saw some
distance away, perhaps twenty ami
mails, which at first glance she took
to be coyotes, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
AS they came nearer, evidently in
pursuit of her, the girl saw they were
not coyotes, but wild dogs, Of which
there are several small packs In north
ern Montana and just over the Cana
dian line
With the brutes hot on her trail, 1t
became ride for life with Miss Sulli-
van. She had with her a small rifle,
but the animals seemed so savage she
dared not stop and give them battle
AS she began to despair Of saving
her life she sighted the old sheep cor
raj, and toward this she ran her horse
reaching 1t only when the pack was a
short distance away, swapping and
yelling with rage.
To enter with the pony and quickly
close the gate behind her was the
work Of moment. AS the gate swung
into place the leaders Of the pack
threw themselves against 1t.
Swapping and snarling with anger
the dogs tore at the poles forming
the stockade, but were unable to gain
an entrance into the place Of refuge.
After recovering her composure and
finding that she was safe, the girl be-
gan shooting at the animals, which re-
treated when she fired and returned to
the attack when the rifle was silent
Miss Sullivan was found by her
father and her brother, who had been
seeking her. The dog pack disappeared
when the men approached. The girl
had killed several of the animals.

Eskimo Mythology.

Among the Eskimos the sun is a
maiden, and the moon is her brother
who is overcome by a wicked passion
for her. Once as this girl was at a
dancing party in a friends hut some
one came up and took hold of her by
the shoulders and shook her, which is,
according to the legend, the Eskimo
manner of declaring ones love. She
could not tell who it was in the dark,
and SO she slipped her hand in some
SCOT and smeared one of his cheeks
with it. When a light was struck In
the hut, she saw to her dismay that II
was her brother, and without waiting
to learn any more she took to her
heels. He started In hot pursuit. And
so they ran until they got to the end of
the world, the jumping off place, when
they both jumped into the sky. There
the moon still chases his sister. the
sun, and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek to the earth, when he
becomes so dark that you cannot see
him.

How MusseIs Move.

The general impression is that mus

selves to certain objects or they lie In

water, and there they pass their exist.
ence. In proof of this the fact is ad-
duced that mussels are at times buried
under the sandy deposit when a rush
of water carries lot of soil with 1t. A
naturalist who has devoted much time
TO the study of these creatures says
that mussels do move slowly, and the
movement is accomplished in the fol-
lowing manner:
The mussel opens its shell and pro-
jects its body to a certain extent from
its projecting case. Then 1t eXerts some
force whereby 1t keeps the shell above
the soil and uses its body to propel IT.
self along the bottom just in the same
way as land snake gets over the
ground. If the sand is examined after
the mussel has taken one of these
strolls, it will be easy to see two paral-
lei lines caused by the edges of the
shell touching the ground.

Wonderful Minute Shells.

There is a sand bank at Connemara.
on the west coast of Ireland, that is the
Mecca of every curiosity seeker who is
fortunate enough to know of its exist
ence. AS general thing sand banks
are not great attraction, but In this
particular case the attractive power Is
not In the sand itself, but in the mil
lions of extinct miniature shells which
are almost as numerous as the grains
of sand with which they are intermin-
gled. The largest of these little won
ders is smaller than the smallest pin
head and some of them SO minute that
they can easily be put through the eye
OF common sewing needle, yet each is
as perfect as the pearly nautilus, the
spider shell, the sea urchin or any other
marine oddity.
They are of all shapes and forms i'm.
aginable. One will have the perfect
outlines of miniature basket, another
will look like fairy's tobacco box,
while third needs no effort of the i'm
agination to give it the form of a bot
tie. The flash shells of Ceylon and Aus
tralia are the only living representa-
dves of these genealogical wonders.
Naturalists who have examined the
Ceylonese flash shells say that each is
filed with tiny bit of jellylike sub
stance, which of course is the animal
Itself, but which is so infinitesimal that
no distinction can be observed between
head and heart, mouth and stomach.
