Move About a Little.

(Trom the Youths Companion.)
There is something impressive in the
story of lifetime of persistent toll.
But there is another point of view
which deserves respect. The gad-about
may be useless member of society,
but the stay-at-home is liable to be
narrow one. We find ourselves on this
little planet, with it's oceans and noun
tains and mighty rivers and wide prai-
ries. We know not whence we came
nor if we shall ever pass this way
again. Surely we may do our task
better in our own appointed place II
we look about the world, feed our
minds with the glorles of nature and
discover how men and women before
us have lived their lives and embodied
their aspirations in the great arts of
building and painting and sculpture.
The wheat field and the ledger and the
cooking stove are facts of human life:
but 50 are the Cologne Cathedral, the
Sistine Madonna, the Canadian Rock
les and the Valley Of the Yellowstone.

Beauty Of Mexican Indians


The beauty of Indian women is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the capt.
tai, where the Indian has degenerated
thru poverty and mental service, it is
less to be remarked than in the small
er towns and in the country But the
beautiful faces one takes in memory
away from Mexico are those of Indian
women. Fine eyes are universal and,
what one hardly expects, fine features,
according to Caucasian standards;
broad broWs, straight noses, we'll
formed mouths, and chins full, but not
gross or heavy. The expression is gem
orally intelligent, and often one is
struck, both in Indian men and Wom-
en-, with the nobility and refinement
of the countenance. One frequently
sees types among the poems that seem
to belong to some highly civilized an
cient caste, an Egyptian priest or royal
blood, Roman centurion, an Aztec
emperor. The women are gently lovely
where they are beautiful, and the men
at their best in carriage, in manners,
and in countenance are strikingly like
the advanced product of civilization.
