BLESSINGS oE PEACE.

There's a lot of trouble brewing in the
Balkans;
There's a spat between der Water
land and France;
The ever-busy lingo is at work In San
Domingo.
And the Isle of Pines would fight
with half a chance.
There is something doing every day
in Russia;
She's not satisfied with getting
licked in war;
But fresh disaster she brews by as
sassinating Hebrews,
And attempting to assassinate the
czar.
Everybody has chip upon his shoul
der;
Everybody's simply spelling for n
There's no doubt the sleepy British
Lions getting rather skittish,
And preparing to wipe sometime
from the map.
But IT'S peace, eteranl peace, at deal

ACOMA CHURCH.

Among the architectural curioslties
Of our country is the ancient church
OF St stephen at Acoma, New Mex.
leo. Acoma is an Indian village stu
ated on the fiat summit of a huge
rock that rises nearly 400 feet perpen-
dicnlarly on all sides from & vast
plain. Access to its wind-swept
heights Is by means of precipitous
trails with foot and handholds cut in
the face OF the cliff.
Here two centuries ago the Spanish
missionaries of the conquest founded
tne picturesque edifice. 1t is built of
the sun-dried mud bricks known
throughout the Southwest as adobe.
The wonder of the building is that M
Acoma rock is absolutely devoid of
earth, all the material for the church,
It's cloisters and houses, mad to be
borne from the plain below up the
dizzy trails upon the backs of Indians,
The graveyard, too. perched upon the
edge OF the cliff and held in place by
adobe walls. is made ground
brought up basketfull by basketfull.
Forty years, 1t is said. did the patient
workers toll before all was finished.
The cloisters and the outbuildings ara
IN ruins today. but the church Itself
Is In fairly good repair. From time
TO time two dangerous green bells,
which bear the date OF 171O upon their
rims and swing by rawhide thongs
IRON beam in one OF the square
towers, still sound upon the clear New
Mexican air summons to worship.
