The Sunday night sparkling is a sar cred institution. But for 1t. life would be at certain age not worth living. and race suicide would become indeed a matter of serious apprehension. The man who has not tender memories of taking his girl home from Sunday evening service and going in for "a lit- tie while" Is apt to be a crusty bache- Tor, hating women because he never knew one in her most charming atti- tude.

ION OF TIE PAMPAS

In pre-equine days, terminating with the Spanish invasion, these sons of the pampas lived a much more athletic ex- istence; for today the Tehuelche, like the gaucho, will not walk a hundred yards if his horse is close at hand, and 1t usually is. To the horse is probably due the disappearance of the sling and the bow and arrow, as well as the more prevalent use of that unique and characteristic weapon of the pam pas. the boleadores, or bolas.
 This consists of two or three raw hide-covered balls, connected by raw hide, to be swung around the head, and hurled from the saddle by one of the balls, slightly egg-shaped. called the manlita, or hand-ball, with the re- suit that the quarry is entangled around the legs, and incidentally struck and pounded by the balls them selves. The more primitive bolas were round stones, to which rawhide guanaco thongs were attached in a groove. Later these were covered with rawhide for horses, and the lines doubled, and now many bola feathers are filled with shot or iron. Three balled bolas are used for horses, while two balls serve for ostrich and some times guanaco, which are bolaed about the neck. A single ball, called the bola perdida (lost balD, with an at tached string, used as hurling-stone, was undoubtedly the most primitive form of this formidable weapon. Horses are never bolaed by a man on foot, for the obvious reason that they must be taught not to fear man coming thus, this precaution enabling a lone dismounted man to approach his horse.-Charles w. Furlong, F. R. G. S., in Harper's Magazine.

PlONC AdldA lAdl AC Wd6 dOAC to return with his wife and daughter i to his home on the heights overlook ing Oakland and San Francisco bay, yet his friends entertain little hope that he will ever be fully restored to health. He is now in his seventieth year. Previous to his last illness he had been separated from his wife for thirty years, but the danger of his death happily reunited them, and now the aged poet Is spending the re- mainder of his days amid his well be- loved hills, on the spot where he has ] created a characteristic home, called The Heights. His massive frame has weakened, his once keen eyes are dim, his flowing hair and beard are white, and the physicians who have climbed the wooded hills to minister to him declare there Is little if any hope-that it is merely a matter of few weeks when Joaquin Miller will have been gathered to his fathers. His ashes. according to his wish, will be scattered to the winds from the pyre in the hills back of The Heights. which marks the last resting place of his daughter, Maud, who died several years ago. The reunion with his wife may prolong his days, and the care that his other daughter, Juanita, be- slows upon him may build up his with cred strength a little, but there is hardly more than a shell for them to nurse.
 Perhaps no more picturesque figure Is extant in the literary history of California and the west than Joaquin Miller. He Is a distinct type, seem ingly inseparable from the environ ment in which he has lived these twenty years or more. He has gath Bred inspiration from the rolling Treen hills, from the ruddy sunsets, irom the blue Pacific waters, from the log banks that roll in with the night fall, from the vista of land and sea as seen from his eyrie on The Heights. from the Golden Gate and the shadowy ships that sail through 1t into the rim of the horizon and are lost in the vapor's pail.
 He has been, perhaps, too familiar to the residents of Oakland and neighboring suburbs to create the in- terest that he would if he should sud- denly appear in some eastern city clad in his high top boots, buckskin clothing and wide brimmed sombrero, with his curly hair flowing from be- heath its brim.
 Even to this day, or perhaps it should be said up to the time of his Illness, Joaquin Miller retained his grace and commanding aspect. He has lived much out of doors and has been Drowned by suns. With his own hands he has planted the hundreds of

All Against It.

"The harem skirt, or jupe-culotte. won't go in this country. The argu- ments against it are insuperable."
 The speaker was Miss Elsie De Wolfe, the best-dressed woman in New York. The scene was a tea at the Colony club. Miss De Wolfe re- sumed:
 "Yes, the arguments against the jupe-culotte are as all-embracing as those against the poor mans credit.
 "A poor man, you know, once asked a banker for credit. The banker an- swered:
 "There are two reasons. my friend. why poor men can't get credit. The first is because they are not known. The second is because they are.'"

 Yes"
 There's something wish you would explain, if you can. What is 1t that causes a hard-headed business man to pay money to a woman whose nails need manicuring-a woman whose general appearance IS slovenly and who evidently finds 1t difficult to make ends meet-why, I say, should a hard-headed business man go to such a woman for the purpose of getting her to tell his fortune-to give him pointers concerning the management of his affairs-to tell him when to buy and when to sell?"
