New Mexico.

The country now called Mexico was
not so called till 1910. when the revolt
against Spain began. Up to independ-
ence the country was called New Spain
and was divided into the same number
OF provinces as Spain, each with a
name of a province in Spain. with the
prefix of New" but New Mexico was
not included in this division. 1t got its
name in this way: @

LESS MEAT

Formerly people thought meat nee

The man who worked hard was sup

times day. Science has found out
differently.

family physician to order less meat, as

p. m. until Monday. The census bill was
received from the House and referred
to committee. and George T. Oliver of
Pennsylvania was sworn in as Senator
For four and Il half hours the House
of Representatives listened TO the read
ing Of the tariff bill, which was con-
cluded. 1t was the only business trans
acted. it was perhaps the dreariest
legislative session of any held by that
body i'll recent years. Some of the
members early in the reading took to
the cloakroomS and lobby back of the
Speakers desk. while others left the
building for the day. Mr.. Sims of Ten
nessee injected a breath of life into the
proceedings. He wanted the reading
of the bill dispensed with as Il farce,
but objection was made. Then he asked
unanimous consent that the bill be put
on its passage. saying it was evident
no opportunity would be afforded to
amend the measure in the House. To
this suggestion. however. Mr.. Mann of
Illinois objected. The House at 4 30
p. M. adjourned until Monday noon.

Muskrats for Meat.

OF all animals that supply meat to
man the muskrat has been the most
abused and the least understood, says
the Baltimore Star. It's name had bred
in the public mind prejudice that
has been almost unconquerable, but
truth will prevail in spite of fate. AS
Il fact the muskrat is one of the neat
est and most delightful of animals. 1t
is a crank in cleanliness. 1t dimes with
the care of an eticure. 1t eats only
the whitest and tenderest 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 well served
muskrat satisfaction that is equal to
the diamond back. Only the ignorant
and the prejudiced think differently,
and they may be educated.

The Senate was not in session Thurs
day. The first piece of legislation to
be acted on by the House during the
special session was the bill providing
for the taking of the thirteenth census,
which was passed. In its present form
the measure gives to the Civil Service
Commission jurisdiction over appoint
ments and provides for the printing of
the reports by the government printing
office. AS enacted at the last session.
the bill stripped the Civil Service Com
mission of such authority. and there
was d provision allowing some Of the
printing to be done by private firms
because of which President Roosevelt
vetoed it. \ further amendment was
made whereby appointments are to be
apportioned pro rata among the States.
The tariff bill was officially reported
to the House from the Committee OH
Ways and Means and is now ready for
consideration,

it was manifest that the vote was
overwhelmingly against excusing him.
