Give me a glass of undertaker's de- , light, throw in grain of cyanide to give it some body, grate in q chunk of asafoetida to lend it a flavor, hold my < breath while I climb outside the decoc- ton, and I shall endeavor to tell you all about it. There, thanks, I think that will stick.
 So fair and frail was she, that she could walk a spider web across Tombstone canon with a fairies wand I for q balance pole, and never break a
 thread. Her eyes were my windows to heaven, and her voice as she warbled La Golondrina," would put a siren out of commission, or tempt the an gels from their flight on the holiest of missions, yes would burn Patti to a , crisp in the furnace Of envy. The flut~ ter of her garments was like the rustic of the wings of birds of paradise as
 they float through Elysian realms in rhythme motion to the music Of the spheres. My imagination electrified by the thought of her, until I could wallow among the clouds, wing my way to dim distant orbs and pillow my head upon the fieecy bosom of the milky way. I even adored that dimin- utive aggregation of India rubber and diStemper, that hairless dog, which, along with me, shared the heavenly privilege of tagging after her (by the way, the hairless dog. enjoys one "cinch," his hide is not an available rendezvous for fleas). Yes l loved Felicita Calderon, Vinegaron or what ever her name was with a devotion that would set Romeo ablaZe with jealousy. I loved her in chunks bigger than box car, I loved as a hired man loves his landlady, but say, I did not relish the idea of making "madre politioo" of that old accumulation of raw hide and jerky, that venerable collection of warts and wrinkles she addressed as "Madre"-mother.
 Now the average Mexican female is radiant at 15, wiIted at 20, hideous at SC and still hanging around the shack at no. She passes successively through every stage from the angelic to the demonic, from a fair, frail, fragrant blossom of humanity, to a hideous witch, by the side of which the hags of Macbeth would shine like a ten of radi- um.

consisting of four goats, II dogs, two ollas and a cne-eyed burro, and how she would dump all of this property affectionately in to the lap of her American son-in-law, in consideration of eternal support, for she never would have the manners to roll over and die, and l concluded that I did not want to be at the dumping. Then l reflected how, upon the arrival of my first bern, the Padre would sprinkle the wrig- gling youngster at ten 'dobes per sprink, and how awkward it would be to take my folks back to the land of yellow ecrn and red apples and intro duce them to the friends of my youth who expected me to raise congressman instead of coyotes. And l thought how easy she was to get and how hard to get rid Of, and that I was not exactly adapted 10 the task of punching a bur TO twenty miles a day with nothing be- tween me and starvation but q tortilla in my hat, while my Felicita sat upon the cold cold ground with underpin- ings akimbo, chattering imbecile slush and rolling the omnipresent cigarette, so l made up my mind that she could not shoo the chickens off my back porch for the rest of my days, and hung my heart on a palo verde bush and came away, and I came away quick.
 My heart is not buried with any one in particular, for Felicita will be roll ing "cigs" for the next @ years. She will cutlive me and all my grand chil- dren, live to pat a stack of tortillas as high as Pike's Peak, live to manufac- ture a thousand hairless gods into luciOus tamales. live to make enough of minu1o to float the Oregon, and enough of enchiladas to break down a freight train, to paralyze enough of red chili to burn Chicago and to roll enough of cigarettes to demoralize all subsequent generations.
 And all this time my heart is a piece of inanimate jerkey dangling from the boughs of that leafiess evergreen, in the town of RonquiIIO. in the suburbs Of Cananea, in the state of Sonora and republic Of Mexico, and there let'r daHgle.

The Web Summing Ant.

One of the most interesting observa'
tons made in ant life, says Andrew
Wilson, the scientist, was that which
showed that certain red ant has
evolved the habit of web spinning. The
ways Of this species We're noted in the
botanic gardens at Peradeniya, Ceylon,
by Il. G. Green. The extraordinary
part of the story is that these ants
used larvae as their spinning machines,
the larvae employing their silk threads,
used to make the cocoons, as their sew
ing machines. Mr.. Green took some
leaves which had been sewed together
by the ants and unfastened the stitch
es. The separated edges were drawn
together by the ants, and then, an hour
afterward, the larvae or grubs, held
In the mouths of the ants, were seen
to be passed backward and forward
across the gaps made in the leaves
The movements of the grubs were du-
ly directed by the ants, and the silk
threads spun by the mouths Of the lar
vac soon repaired the defects in the
leaves

JcfYrcy.s Tnttercd books.

The famous reviewer jeffrey treated
with disdain the bookbinder's delicate
art. Books were merely, meant to be
read, he commended, and he was quite
satisfied so long as the words were
visible. Lord Cockburn laments the
fact that Jeffrey's library was, "for o
lover of books and for one who had
picked up q few, most wretched and
so i'll cared for that the want even Of
& few volumes never disturbed him."
Carlyle in his "Reminiscences" de
scribcs the study Of his brilliant coun.
tryman as "a roomy, not overneat
apartment on the ground floor, with o
big baize covered table loaded With
book rows and paper bundles. On one
or perhaps two of the tables were book.
shelves, likewise well filed, but with
books in tattery, i'll bound or unbound

NAMES OF NUMBERS.
why Twelve Is Called n Dozen and
Twenty u Score.

why Twelve Is Called a Dozen and
Twenty u Score.
"Dozen" is from the French dou-
zaine, a collection of articles generally
numbered together. 1t is used in the
Herefordshire poems, 1890, and shows
French for the first time encroaching
upon English numerals. This enshrines
a great historical fact, for from 1920 to
1880 it was the custom to look to
France as leader Of all Europe in art,
chivalry, fashion, war and learning.
"Score" for twenty came into the Ian
guage nearly at the same time, but
was not exclusively French. 1t comes
from the Anglo-Saxon scor, the root of
shear, shire, scar, and means to cut.
Our ancestors, to avoid the difficulty
of large numbers, used to keep ac-
counts by cutting notches in stick,
called a tally, and after twenty such
notches they cut off the tally, which
thus became a "score." These were
used in England for keeping the eX-
chequer accounts, even to the begin
ming Of the nineteenth century. A
cricket score was once spoken of as so
many notches, and the rind of pork is
scored: The word is first used in
poem called 1.-THE Bestiary" and in
Cursor Mundi London Answers.
