Many Languages Of Mexico.

"aHy 1ah9ud9eS OF MEXICO.
During the fiestas of Christmas or
the week of All Souls and All Saints.
when the Indians swarm down from
the mountains with their holiday
wares for sale, visitors in the City of
Mexico may notice the strange Ian
guage that the venders use in ad-
dressing each other. Even when they
turn to serve the purchaser their
Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mex
lean, but is frequently broken by Pc
culiar syllables and accents.
This is merely an illustration of
the fact that the Indian languages of
old Mexico have not been entirely
submerged by the conquering Span
1sh, and in some of the most remote
districts of the republic various and
distinct languages handed down from
the pre-Columbian era are still spoken
in their pristine purity by many tribe
members.

How Fast Wind Travels.

Most people at some time or other
have used the expression went like
the. wind wishing to convey the idea
Of extraordinary velocity.
Coming down to actual figures, how
ever, the wind is not such a speedy
traveller after all. The month of March
more than any other in the year has
windy record, SO the figures sup
piled by the local weather bureau sta
tion for the month just ended will do
to illustrate the fallacy OF the express
sion.
From the 1st to the 31st the wind
movement as registered at the top of
the federal building was 1856 miles,
or an average of 27S miles day for
thirty days. Here is an average Of
only eleven and one-half miles an
hour, a speed which even a slow
moving freight steamer approaches.

OF the Mystic Shrine. And there was
a large crowd present and "and then
some and all the pilgrims had a

A very able instructive and enter.
tanning address was made by Deputy

ter which the caravan started across
the desert under the inspiring music
furnished by the Madam Hale Nc.
Cullongh orchestra.
A very unique, elaborate and beau.
tiful souvenir program embossed and
printed in seven colors was present
ed to each guest.
The ladies, of which there was a
host, were. of course, beautifully and
most handsomely gowned, and the
scene as the throng swayed in the

soul-inspiring
The grand march which was led by
the rs Mobiles present and in which
GO couples took part was a feature
OF the evening. '"G .r. .-- t.~''7'T *''
The ladies who were connected
with the order on their husbands
side served the refreshments in the
dining room the tables being in the
form of Maltese cross.
Everybody present had good

whenever the Mobiles start a caravan
toward the Mecca there will be a
host Of followers.

Morris Putter.

Clubs by Famous Maker-old Tom
Morris Putter.
Harry B. Wood of Manchester pos
sesses probably the most valuable
collection of golf curios in the world.
His club museum is unique. There is
a fine specimen Of left handed club,
once the property of the famous
champion Thomas Robertson, better
known at St. Andrews as ':Kill the
Cuddie," from his having accident
ally killed donkey with q golf ball
Among other clubs collected by Mr..
Wood are several by famous maker
named Philips, whose clubs were in
great demand in the early part of the
nineteenth century. They have been
extensively initiated in consequence,
though not with more success than has
crowned the efforts of violin makers
who have sought to reproduce the
perfect form and rich tone of Stradi-
varius. Used and owned successfully
by old Tom Morris. his sons Jimmy
and young Tom is q putter which
bears all the characteristics of Philips
clubs-the gracefully modelled neck,
thin face, the rounded contour of the
head, the grain of the wood and ta-
pering shaft.
Another specimen is q fine baffy
spoon, formerly the property of Mr..
Fulton, who used to play golf in the
early days Of the Manchester club,
founded in 1878. The head is made of
apple wood and the joint is wrapped
with thick, coarse twine, the strands
OF which were rolled together and
afterward waxed. There is also pur-
ter made in 1870 by David Brown, an
ex-champion and brother to Lang
Geordie," st. Andrews player ia
