How That Portion of Northern Now
Spain Got It's Name.
The country now called Mexico was
not so called till 1910, when the revolt

and was divided into the same number
OF provinces as Spain, each with n
name of n province. In Spain. with the
prefix OF new but New Mexico was
not included in this division. 1t got its
name in this way:
In 1561 Francisco Ibarra was in

Men say women are angels; women

moment and reason upon this thing.
If women are anGels-however, that
does not seem to be the proper start
ing point. Let us try again.
If angels are cats-but, no: that Is
hardly reasonable, for angels have
wings. and cats do not fly. We must
begin again.
If women are cats-but that isn't
possible. for cats do not talk, and how
could 4 dumb animal express an opin-

cats may think. they never say n word
about Il woman, while women-wcll,
women are not cats.
Now let us return to the first propo-

If women arc angels. they wouldn't
say women are cats. Angels don't
talk that way.
Once upon Il time n man married Il

LAB0R'S RIGHTS
AS DETAILED
BY Newman Hall in London in
1855 Makes the Wilderness
Blossom Like a Rose.

In an address III February, / SO,
at I.Ncter Hall, London, Newman
HAL delivered this prose poem
or the rights of Labor:
There is dignity in toil-in toll
Of the hand rs well as toll of the
head in toll to provide for the
bodily wants of an individual life.
H. we'll as III toll to promote some
enterprise of world wide fame.
All iaGo" that tends to supply
man : wants, to increase MANS
happiness, to elevate mans nature
III" Il word, all labor that is
h"urSt-is honorable, too.
Labor cleans the forest and
drains the morasS, and Iuakes ..the
wilderness rejoice and blossom as
the rose
labor drives the pillow and
>catt"rS the seeds aud reaps the
harvest and -griuds the corn and
converts it into bread, the staff of
lie.
Labor, tending the pastures and
sweeping the waters as well as
cutivating the soil, provides with
daily sust"nance the nine hundred
million of thetamily of man.
Labor gathers the gossamer web
Of the caterpillar, the cotton from
the field and the fleece from the
flock, and weaves it into raiment
soft and warm and beautiful, the
purple robe of the prince and the
cray gown of the peasant being
alike its hand work.
Labor molds the brick, and
spIits the slate. and quarries the
stone, and shapes the column, and
rcars not only the humble cottage,
but the gorgeous palace, and the
tapering spire and the stately
dome.
Labor, driving deep into the
solid earth, brings up its long
hidden store of coal to feed 10, 900
furnaces and in millions of homes
10 defy the winters cold.

Muskrsts For Meat.

OF all animals that supply meat to
man the musllrat has been the most
abused and the least understood. says
the Baltimore Star. Its name had bred
in the public mind n prejudice that
has been almost unconquerable. but
truth will prevail In spite of fate. AS
fact the muskrat is one of the neat
est and most delightful of animals. It
is Il crank in cleanliness. 1t dimes with
the care of an epicure- It eats only
the whiteSt and terderest mOrsels-
And its flesh has qualities that can be
compared only TO terrapin- Indeed.
there are good people along the Chesa-
peake. where all the best things live
and grow. who find in the we'll served
muskrat satisfaction that is equal to
the diamondback- Only the ignorant
and the prejudiced think differently,
and they may be educated
