BEER BROUGHT PEACE
Is Much Preferred to the Red Whisky
Formerly Used.

A Washington man who has inst re-
turned from a trip to Texas. and who
had been in the habit of visiting that
state in its lawless days, was much
impressed by the law-abiding habits
of present day Texans. Texas is as
tame as New England. He asked the
reason why. Zone old citizen" he
says, with whom / talked told me
the philosophy of the change. He said
that it was due to the substitution of
beer for whisky. Thirty years ago
there wasn't brewery in Texas, and
but little lager beer imported. The
men drank red liquor to excess then,
a1d under it's influence became wild
and violent and ready to shoot at the
drop of the hat Nowadays, with beer
the .,opular drink, the temper OF the
population has undergone q change
and tragedies, once so frequent, are OF

Lono Search Well Rewarded

The romantic story of how the DR..
Arnold Pam, one of the foremost law
yers of Vienna, laid the foundation
for his wealth is related in the news
papers of that city. About a quar-
ter of century ago local jeweler
named OFT died, leaving a fortune OF
100000 forms. He was a bachelor.
and he left no will. nor were the
courts able to find out the name or
whereabouts Of any of his relatives.
Arnold Pam devoted himself to the
task of finding them. For months he
followed clews in Austria and Ger
many and was finally rewarded by
finding not one or two relatives but
thirty. The money was handed out
to him to be equally divided among
the claimants, while he himself re-
ceived 100000 forms, a record fee.

both daisies and tlllstles shall be cut
down twice Il year along the lines of
all canals and railroads, and on lands
bordering the public highways. in June
and July and in August and septem-
Der, and In certain cases they may be
cut down by any one at the expense of
any corporation on whose land they
are found. Wisconsin and Canada are
equally severe.
Daisies are not eaten by any kind
of stock. Cattle avoid hay in which
they are found, and they are so pro

eradicate them from pasture fields.

THEY MAKE SNOW IMAGES.
Much Skill Shown by Residents Of
Andreasbero, Germany,

~ NS'''A''ys
In the little town of Andreasberg, in
the Harz Mountains, of Germany, maxi
ing snow images has been reduced to
science, under the stimulus CT an an
nual snow festival, in which the resi-
dents Of the town compete for prizes.
Those New York boys who rolling
three balls of snow of different sizes
and gouging holes in the uppermost,
have styled them eyes and mouth and
the whole "a snow man." should pay
visit to Andreasberg. The snow
men there are to the snow men of
American youth as the works of the
master sculptor are to the efforts of
the neophyte. There snow man is
a man indeed. Nor is the skill of the
townspeople confined to the snow man.
Feminine figures, groups, animals, me-
chanical devices and many others as
difficult Of execution are worked out
in snow
The festival, organized in 1895. has
! come to be an affair of considerable
interest in that part OF Germany, and
during the time 1t is in progress the
little village is thronged with guests.
One year four Thousand persons en-
| joyed the sport.
The task of the judges is by no
means an easy one. In back yards.
front yards and in the streets before
the houses the models have been set
up. That worker in the snow is wisest
VINO waits until the last moment and
then works swiftly and skilfully, for
the sun is no more merciful to snow
in that country than in this. Many a
good sculptor's work has been reduced
to shapeless mass before the judges
got around just because the sun would
not hide its face.
A favorite custom among the snow
sculptors is to reproduce scene from
some well known fairy tale. Thus at
one of the festivals of the Pied Piper
of Hamelin was pictured a group Of
snow children dancing merrily TO the
imaginery music from his snow pipe.
Little Red Riding Hood, in a hood as
white as snow, confronted huge
white wolf. The Babes in the Wood
faced a wicked old witch, who later
got her just deserts beneath the rays
of the sun. Love and the Lion was
another snow piece, in which love
looked rather cold. but either the
weather or the sight of her literally
caused the lions mouth to water"
An electric car was feature of one
festival 1t was fine, piece of work
originally, but a day or two in the
sun made it look as if it had figured
! in wreck.
A steam engine in which many of
the intricate parts of the real machine
were reproduced in snow was the fea-
ture of another festiyal.-New York

Santo Domingo Is established is. next
to Cuba, the largest of The West In
dies. One-third of Its urea is devoted
to the republic of Haiti, and the re-
fnainder constitutes Santo Domingo.
These contiguous republics are often
confused, but they are quite dissim-
liar in most features. The Dominicans
are much more refined and circum-
spect in their ways than their neigh
bors and are less addicted to actual
bloodshed in their periodical revolu-
tons. They are for tile most part
mulattoes of Spanish ana negro origin.
The few Spanish families that have
not intermingled with the prevailing
type constitute the arstocracy of the
republic and hold themselves loftily
aloof from their less fortunate neigh
bors.
Education in It's proper sense is
practically unknown. The average
Dominican has not yet awakened to
the necessity of adding to the knowl-
