Important Question Of Dress.

Lord Chesterfield says: II would
rather have a young fellow too much
than too little dressed; the excess on
that side will wear off with little
age and reflection" To be as well
dressed for all occasions as a mans
means will permit shows self respect
and not conceit as ignorant people
sometimes imagine. Society in
variably looks on young men with .
partial eye, but it likes to see them
we'll dressed.

Only Person Touched"

Duels in France are often more
costly than dangerous. The very low.

be brought off is 81, and to do the
thing in style considerably more must

friend of his sent a challenge and Dor

War in the Air.

A strange drama of bird life was
witnessed recently by some Portland
fishermen on the south coast Of Eng
land. A homing pigeon was attacked
by a large hawk, when two rocks and
a seagull joined forces and attempted
to deprive the hawk of it's prey. The
fight lasted some five minutes wher
the hawk, tearing the pigeons head
from its body, let the latter fall and

But One Official War Cry.

In the very early days the French
had their "Cri de guerre," the
Scotch their slogan, and the English
their war cries, but so many cries
were launched by the different great
British lords that in 1495 parliament
passed special law forbidding these
cries, on the ground that they pro
duced disorder, allowing but one bat
tie cry, "St. George and the King"

Absolute conservatism Is the distinguish
ing feature of Demings advertising. The
truth Is good enough. We desire to appeal
only to sensible people. The most we hope
to do is to inspire an investigation. There IS
no welcome for the speculator Prices are
held down so that the actual developer can
make good and make money. The sensible
man knows that something for nothing
propositions are fakes. He knows that to get
something he must pay something. Deming
and the Mimbres valley offers a safe. sure IN
vestment, and guarantee Of ample return for
capital invested and labor employed. It offers
special and unique advantages IN the way of
healthful climate, the purest water IN Amer
lea, progressive citizenship, railroad facili-
ties unequaled IN New Mexico, a splendid
school system, active church organizations, a
homogeneous population. a community of fine
moral tone. There is health for the invalid
member of the family, there IS every oppor-
tunity for the proper education of the chill
dren, there are investments and profitable en-
ployment for the head of the family. 1t Is
community of American homes, none very
nch. none very poor, and the resulting social
life IS upon high plane.

There IS now going on a rapid subdl-

There is nothing to apologize for IN
Deming. Land the best, water the best, eli

upon what will be done-the interested IN

not only a community which has future, but
a community which has a present. Do not
delay your investigation of this region. We
have something to show you. All we desire
of you Is an opportunity to state the facts
clearly and disinterestedly. Then you can
decide for yourself. You owe It to yourself
to make the investigation at once. Things
don't stand still IN Deming. Prices are, of
course, going up, as more and more people see
and realize the unparalleled advantages Of

Caustics by Reflection.

It Is found that In concave spherical
mirrors the reflected rays only come to
q definite focus in the point when the
angular aperture of the mirror does
not exceed or 10 degrees. With a
larger aperture the rays reflected near
the edge cut the axis Of the mirror ut
q point nearer its surface than those
from points Immediately around the
center. This being so and the curve
of the mirror being continuous. a cor.
responding curve of successive focal
points Is formed in space and can be
rendered visible by the rays falling on
a rejecting surface, such as sheet OF
white paper or tabIecloth. The nap
kin ring is cylinder and possesses the
properties Of the spherical mirror along
one diameter. The rays falling upon
portions more remote from the center
line are brought to different focus
from those falling nearer the center,
and this produces the peculiar heart
shaped reflection. These figures are
known Gs "caustics by reflection" and
can be well observed by allowing the
light of q candle to fall on the inside
of cup or lumber partly filled with
milk

A Fashion That Failed.

the mutability Of fashion-in mascu-

Pepys records. the king declared IN
council Ibis resolution Of setting a
fashion in clothes, which he will never
alter. 1t will be vest. | know not
lust how, but it is to teach the nobility
thrift and will do good" Six days
later Pepys sees the Duke OF York try
on the new west" which Is again de-
clared to be like the laws of the Modes
and Persians. 1t was "a long cassock
close to the body, of black cloth ana
pinked with white silk under 1t, and
coat over it, and the legs ruftled with
black ribbon like pigeons leg" But
Louis XIV. maliciously dressed all his
footmen in this costume, and so dld
French noblemen. with the result that
the English court very soon discarded
the "unalterable" costume.

Fate Of Alcibiadss.

The brilliant. witty and dissolute
Alcibiades had one Of the most extern
sive experiences In exile that ever fell
to the lot of man. While In COM
mand Of the Sicilan army he was re-
called to stand trial for the destruc-
ton Of the busts Of Hermes, an out
rage that had taken place just before
his departure. Knowing that his
death had been determined on. he es-
capped to Sparta, where, by adopting
the manners Of the people, in strange
contrast to his former style of luxury.
be became immensely popular. He en-
gagged in military operations against
the Athenians and succeeded so well
as to excite the envy Of the Spartan
leaders, who expelled him. whereupon
he went to Persia and lived there with
a magnificence that astonished the
Persians themselves. He was recalled
to Athens with the same caprlclous-
ness that marked his ostracism and
was appointed commander in chief OF
all the Athenian forces; but. failing IN
an important expedition. he was again
sent into exile and was finally assas'
sinated In Persia.

OPAQUE Windows.

The building contractor let loose
some of his most emphatic phrases
when he found that the man who had
been hired to daub whiting all over the
windows had not half done the job
''That man doesn't seem to under
stand what the windows in a half fin
ished building are whitened for" he
said. I'VE don't plaster them over
with chalk to prevent the public from
seeing the unfinished condition OF the
interior. but to keep the workmen from
battering out the glass. Transparent
glass looks just about as transparent
as air to the man who is moving a
wooden or iron beam in a hurry. and
he is likely to ram the end of it through
an expensive window. but when the
glass is coated with white 1t becomes
visible. and the workmen hand their
material In through the door."-New
York Times.
