Cispleased by AduIatlon.

Maurice Maeterlinck is grievously
troubled by fame that has over
whelmed him. He feels that there is
something uncanny in this breaking
of precedent which DEGREES that
great man must be long time dead
before he is recognized as great. He
says: rs there a single poet worthy
of the name to whom this has hap
pened? 1t is not good omen. When
think of men like Villiers de l'Isle-
Adam and Barley d'Aurevllly. who
died without knowing moments
glory, feel am no longer worthy to
die. 1t has been impossible to work
for weeks If this is what they call
glory nowadays. then the artist should
long for death" Maeterlinck says
that he will take refuge in some cor
ner of England It'll this tyranny be

A WEDDING BREAKFAST.

In these days of many weddings
when all nature Is in bloom to assist
In making them impressive and beau
ufula few suggestions on the important
subject of eating may not be amiss.
If the wedding repast is to be break
fast many dainty dishes which would
be out of place for an afternoon or
evening collation. may be served.
For first course at a breakfast
fruit seems especially appropriate. and
as there are countless ways of pre-
senting this dish one may, If inge-
NOUS. originate something unsual.
There is no prettier dish than fresh
strawberries with the hulls left on
surrounding a mound of nodded pow
dered sugar and garnished with the
that is not at all new.
Chopped and mixed fruits sweeten.
ed with a heavy sirup is another appe-
tizing beginning.
Doubtless there may be better meat
dishes than fried chicken, but the
most of us mortals will still hold to
our fondpess for the tender fowl. With
the fried chicken let us have some
creamed potatoes, prepared by cutting
In uniform cubes and cooking them
until tender, then after draining them
heat in a rich white sauce made OF
two tablespoonfuls of flour and butter
cooked together. salt and a dash of
red pepper and cup of thin cream or
rich milk Cook until thick. then add
the potatoes. With this dish of chick
en- and potatoes few tips of aspar-
agus seasoned with butter and served
on toast triangles, all on the same
plate, will make the main dish.
An unusual salad and very good
too, is pear, pineapple and nuts with
n little dressing served on heart leaves
of lettuce. This. with rolls, makes a
nice salad course.
Strawberry ice cream. with crushed
berries as a sauce served on it. and
the BRIDES cake with coffee, finishes
a repast fine enough for any bride.
Olives and salted nuts may be
served with the meat course, and can.
dies make pretty table decoration
that may be passed after the coffee.

First Known to History.

The firSt historical accounts OF the
relics of this interesting people come
from tie Spaniardg and from informa-
lion collected by them we learn that
the ruins of to-day are the same as
they were 365 years ago.
Prof. Holmes, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, one of the frs. to study the
ruins from truly scientific method,
makes the following classification.
which has generally been adopted by
students First-Lowland villages in
which dwelt the purely agricultural
classes, the sites chosen being always
in the most fertile valleys and close to
rivers
Gocond-Cave dwellings, caves arti-
fcially enlarged, often closed and
strengthened with stone or adobes of
kneaded clay dried in the sun. such as
are still used by the modern Pueblo In
dian for building their huts.
Third-Cliif houses, true fortresses
to which the people of the valleys
probably retired when danger threat
ened
1t may be well to state here that It
IS the opinion of most recent investiga-
tors that the lowland cities and vii
lagos were inhabited by different
people from those of the cliff dwellings
proper.
These valley towns were laid out
with great regularity. usually in the
form of parallelograms or circles, ap-
parently with the intent of affording
the best protection from the invader
or the sandstorms peculiar to that re-
gion.
That the inhabitants of these ruins
were the agricultural classes there
seems no doubt, for we find indlsputa-
BILE evidence of their irrigation works
