Mayico,s Indian Women.

The beauty of Indian women Is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the cap
1tal where the Indian has degen-
Grated through poverty and mental
service it is less to oe remarked than
In the smaller towns and in the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes
in memory away from Mexico are
those of Indian women. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex'
poets, the features, according to eau
casian standards - broad broWs,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is very generally intel
ligent and often one is struck, both in
Indian men and women, with the no
bility and refinement Of the coun'
tenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
an Egyptian priest of royal blood, a
Roman centurian, 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
very advanced product of civilization
Modern Mexico.

SAVING "HeIIo" to Heart Throbs.

1T is a curious thing said a prom
inent lecturer recently, how some
books have a strong radiating person
atty, so that you feel like saying
Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas | visited friends
back at the old home on the farm.
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for a good old fashioned sing.
On the center table were strewn the
Christmas remembranCes taken from
Christmas tree on the evening before.
CHANGING over them | suddenly eX-
claimed Hello! my good friend,
Hellon and as the others looked up
with surprise. l picked up copy of
Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pages the piece l spoke IN
school 40 years ago.
THAT was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit OF
Heart Throbs, and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose
and verse that have been preserved
in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
historical significance, but Heart
Throbs is the only book I know that
slaps you on the back in a friendly
sort of way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion. Next to my love of the Bible
l love Heart Throbs. 1t is the most
notable book Of the times"

Martina Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story OF
two house martins nests built against
an attic window Of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole Of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
