the urns have the teeth filed, both in the rep

AS interpreted by Professor Saville the funer

not uncommon. They are, as o rule, hollow at
the back and in the form of a cylinder. Some
times the arms are folded again the hands

on the knees The head is surmounted by an
elaborate headdress, the front of which almost
invariably bears a symbol, such the hero
glyph for water, tigers face or a bat. Fre-
quently the face is covered by a mask with
prominent teeth and tongue which resembles
the conVentionalized serpent, common feature
of Zapotecan and Maya sculpture There are
many urns which have fiat base, which serve
as covers for boxes chests Some of these
boxes have symbolic faces or corners or front

WELCOME IN CANADA.
Americans and American Methods Are
Well Received.

According to Vice Consul General Hill.
at Halifax, in a report to the State De-
partment, the business and social relations
between Canada and the United States are
growing closer than ever before. The Amer
lean invasion" of the dominion, he says,
is an established fact. and the provinces
are rapidly becoming Americanized.
"A large number of the leading American
CORPORATIONS" says Mr.. Hill, have estab-
ltshed plants In the dominion. near the
border. to supply their Canadian trade, and
there is scarcely a week that some Ameri-
can firm is not granted license to build
a factory and engage in business in Canada.
American capital is welcome, as are Ameri-
cans In every part of the dominion. and the
thousands of tourists who spend their sum-
mer vacations in Canada, practically all
from the United States. are everywhere
greeted by the American flag, that is almost
as familiar throughout the dominion as
the union jack.
1.-The intercourse between the citizens of
the United States and of Canada is almost
as free as between the people of the sew
eral states, especially that between resi-
dents of the maritime provinces and the
New England states. The last census show
ed that 100000 Canadian citizens were
residents of the United States. These nat
urally encouraged friends and relatives to
follow their example. and they have mar

center OF the back. the embroidery and aps
plique run part way up the skirt like q
vine. Between these two gradually narrow
ing patterns there Is a fan pleating OF
mousseline, which is confined in a very
small space at the belt and then spreads to
form the train. II is charming, graceful
and novel method of gaining the fullness
necessary for long sweeping train.
From under the lace trimming which
curves over the shoulders there is a wide
fiounee of silver-embroidered mousseine,
and this, in turn, falls over a somewhat
narrower frill of point applique. The tea
gown touch is impaired to the costume by
low-cut point of the neck and falls in Sc
ries of ripples to within short distance of
the bottom of the skirt.
The silver embroidery stands out well on
the rose-colored background, which Is con-
siderably strengthened by the deep shade of
the taffeta lining. There is oniy touch
here and there of the silver except the belt,
which is fashioned entirely of the bullion,
made expressly for trimming. The rose
pattern is artistic and shadowy, but won-
derfully effective in its color scheme.
A dainty blue and silver gown divides in-
terest with the above model. The materiai
is China crepe, gathered in very full at the
waist and bordered around the bottom with
an incrusted pattern of guipure, and above
this another similar band of narrower
design of lace. The waist, which Is semi"
loose, is intersected with two rows of In
crusted guipure, which follow the pointed
opening at the throat. There is a bit Of
silver embroidery on this part of the waist,
and the whole is gathered under a cOrselee
made of shirred silver gauZe ribbon.
The sleeves are of China silk gathered to
form full puffs at the shoulder, and then
they are held in to the arm with band OF
guipure, THROUGH which runs a twist of sils

er and their bodies deeper than those of
their lords and masters. The market
grades are counts" with under shells
more than six inches long; "heifers," five
to six inches; bulls" less than five
inches.
The two principal modes Of cooking dia-
mond-backs are "a la Maryland and
philadelphia STYLE" According to the
first, the terrapin are thrown alive into
tepid water. The skin and claws are then
removed and second immersion In water
follows. The under shell Is next cut away,
the gall bladder and liver being removed.
Then what remains is stewed until thor
oughly done. The stew is garnished with
eggs, cream, butter and spices. and when
ready for the table a little wine Is added.
philadelphia style" is the same as the
above save for the addition of terrapin eggs.
which, In the estimation of epicures. are abb
solutely essential to the completion of the
dish.
Cause of determination.
AS to the means needed to save the dia-
mond-back from extinction there is a great
divergence of opinion among terrapin fish
ermen. Those operating on a small scale
blame the big pounds for the decrease, and
claim that these Enclosures encourage fish,
ing at breeding time, which results In the
breaking up of nests before the eggs are
Matched or perhaps even laid. Furthermore,
the pounds are criticised because they buy
young at small prices, less than twentieth
of what could be realized when full grown.
Immense numbers of young are destroyed
in the course of transfer from the nest to
the pound. Furthermore, 1t is charged that
the pounds reap unfair proportions of profits
because they can buy the diamond-backs In
summer when there is no market and when
prices are nominal.
The pound fishermen in reply to these ar
guments contend that they are really In
creasing the abundance of terrapin, because
they protect the eggs and young from their
enemies. Commissioner Bowers is not as
vet ready to announce the verdict of his
specialists, who are at work on the inter-
estng problem. Professor Hay, however,
has this to say:
Thanks to lax laws and ruthless hunt
ers, the species is on the verge of extinc-
ton, and before long, unless proper meas
ures are taken, must be numbered among
the great host of animals that man has ex-
terminated"

Transforming Cactus Into Food.

From the Weeks Progress.
Luther Burbank, who Is called "the bo-
tanical wizard" because of his development
of stoneless plums and other similar fruits,
has just produced. after ten years work,
spineless cactus which is half as nutri-
tious as alfalfa and will yield more forage
to the acre. By series of crossings and re-
crossings Of different varieties from differ
ent parts of the world Burbank Is aiming
to make the plant harder and produce more
fruit and leaves.
He has at his Santa Rosa experimental
grounds specimens of cactus which he has
robbed of thorns. having brought the horny
leaves to such state of perfection that q
man can rub the leaf over his face. The
surface is found to be as soft as silk
The creation of a spineless cactus Is OF
great Importance. The plant will grow lux
uriantly on the driest desert. In this and
other countries It's leaves and fruit are
food for man and beast, and 1t may mean
to some districts more than the introduce
ton Of the potato meant to Europe
