1t needs very little argument to prove
that New Mexico is not fitted for state
hood nor it's people for citizenship in
state, but it is not an impressive ar
gument to oppose them on the ground
that new names must first be given
them, since Il neighboring republic
bears the name of Mexico. This was
the contention made by senator in
Washington this week. 1t would be
pretty much the same to say that New
England and the New Englanders are
out of place in the Union.

Saint Valentines Day.

If good Saint Valentine could come
back to earth again, he would doubtless
be amazed at many things, but nothing
would so amaze him as to find day
bearing his name dedicated to love and
LOVERS and things athatory in general.
1t isn't on record that he ever had a
love affair of his own, though there is
little reason to suppose that youth was
any different then than it is now. How
ever. he is known as the celibate mar
tyr, and it was for his devotion to
Christianity that he, along with many
other good people, was first cruelty
beaten and then beheaded in the year
go. when Claudius II. was emperor in
Rome. How absurd and Illogical then,
we say. that Saint Valentine has been
for centuries extolled and venerated az
the great high priest of love9and court.
ship and marriage. Stfll, it is rot diff
ficult to explain how this has come
about. In life he was the victim or
pagan persecution, and in death he has
been the victim of circumstances and
the traditional alteration in his case
has many parallel instances.
The pagan Romans were accustomed
10 celebrate the Lupercala during the
month of February, which We're feasts
in honor of Lupercus, the god of fes-
tivity, as well as in honor of Pan and
Juno, the latter deity being frequently
named Februata, Februalis and Feb
rulla. Christian pastors, in their anx-
iety to eradicate heathern supersti-
lions, and also to conciliate Christian
lied pagans, whose recent conversion
had not destroyed their fondness for
the old festivities. naturally permitted
or authorized the same feasts with &
new dedication. and Christian saints
instead of pagan gods were honored.
The pagan gods We're swept away by
the new and deyine religion, but the
times and seasons remained. and were
celebrated with a holy and deeper sig
nificance. Saint Valentine martyrdom
occurred on the 14th of February, and
the old feast. dedicated to Lupercus
and Pan and Juno, which marked the
birth of spring--its beauty and Joyous
ness-fell to the lot of the martyr who
had died for his faith in that month
of the earth's reawakening.
The pagans, with variety of ceremo-
ny and festivity, had made this season
the occasion or opportunity for lovers,
not unlike that of the present day.
Names of young women were put into
q box. and were drawn by men, with |
the same merriment, and perhaps as
much fidelity of intention, as valentines
are exchanged today, and Saint VAL |
entine has come into the possession of |
the heritage which Pan and Juno have
lost. The same custom of drawing |
names was quite common in England |
and more so in Scotland three centuries |
ago, and a gossipping old chronicler re-
ates that as botm the youths and maid
Ems drew from the boxesof names. there
wasnaturallya complicationi thequ
lion of possession and the men gener-
ally preferred to adhere to the names
which they had drawn, rather than to

Our northern imagination can hardly
picture such a catastrophy as that tidal
wave which blotted out many lives on
the Society islands in the tropic Pa
leific. Life was sunny and peaceful on
those reefs and had been for genera
tions, but the great waters over
whelmed them almost without warn
ing. Such a frightful thing as that
and such thing as the poisonous
blast which withered Martinique are
quite beyond us. We often rebel
against the climatic rigors of these
higher ATTITUDES, but our immunity
from such destroyers are compensa-
lions worth thinking of.
