A City Touched by Midas;
Golden Walls and Streets.

+ Dick Wilmington had only lived to-
day he might have found the city whose
| streets were paved with gold. For re
cent investigation has brought to light
the fact that such a place does exist, and
that there is marvellous wealth in the little
Mexican town of Mazapil.
Imagine the bricks of the pavement being
full of gold and estimated from $500 to 5000
to the toni And there is single wall about
a garden in front of the town hall which IS
valued at a million dollars!
1t seems that not long ago an American
mining engineer was roaming through that
country, and when he came back into ciyi
tation he brought with him few bricks and
some samples of Stag. He was not sure it
they were worth anything at ALL and never
dreamed of their real value, but he turnei
them over to his company's assayer.
The assayer's report was startling. II
there was more of the same stuff to be had
lie said. untold wealth was in sight, and i'm
mediately the company started an investi-
CATION. 1t was found that the assayer's
estimate was not exaggerated. The streets
of Mazapil were literally paved with gold,

Where Women Wear Trousers
and Men Dress Up i'm Skirts.

Again, far in the north where it is freez-
ing cold most Of the time and people dress
to be comfortable and not to look pretty, the
women are actually forced into trousers to
keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always wore
trousers. But their reasons were purely mill
tary. Besides, they were half masculine in
manner and appearance, and dressed to ac-
centuate their qualities. They had to make
themselves into fierce looking creatures to
terrify the men on the opposing side, and
from all accounts they succeeded admirably.
As for the stronger sex, there still seem
to be men in existence who wear womens
garb and enjoy it. In certain parts Of
Greece, Spain, and Albania there are bands
of desperate brigands who, when they are
decked out for attacks .on strangers or
neighbors, look for all the world like grand
opera ballet girls, in their short brightly col
ored skirts, which are made very full, and
sometimes even rufled bit. They seem tre-
mendously proud of their attire, and rival
bands strive to surpass each other in vivid
ness of patterns and newness of styles

is no longer necessary for the womsn
who Graves novelty in dress to be obliged
to confne herself to the ordinary fabrics
of silk, WOOL or cotton. She may have
her frocks made from surprising variety
of materials she never would have thought
possible.
For instance. she may visit her modiste
and order gown of stone. This does no.
necessarily imply one of wearing qualities
that are everlasting, although she may have
a guaranty of hundred years If she wishes.
No woman wants to wear dress longer than
hundredth part of that period, but this
material is said to be soft and pliable, as
we'll as durable, so it may each season be
made over into the prevailing fashion.
Dresses of spun glass may also become
auite common on the boulevards, although
heretofore they have been confined prin-
eipally TO the side show of circus.

If wife wanted to be particularly eco
nomical she would buy sheep, a fat one
for 70 cents. Then she would divide it up
and sell it around to her neghbors at about

more expensive, as you could not get really
good one for less than 81 so.

OF course it did not take many days be-
fore the little town was being deluged with
the company's representatives, who pro-
ceeded promptly to buy up every inch OF
available property. The natives, ignorant ot
the value, sold out for song. The company
purchased all the old smeters and Stag piles
and dilapidated walls and buildings. 1t even
bought up the postoffice.
The only thing which they could not get
was the Roman Catholic church. The
priests refused positively to sell, and no
amount of money seemed to tempt them. In
vain did the representatives offer higher
prices. They were forced to be content with
out the church.
Them just as they were on the verge rt
removing the bricks and slags to the modern
smelters, the Mexican revolution started and
all operations along~ that line had TO be
suspended. But it is needless to say that
every inch of the little town is being care
fully guarded for the future use of the for
tunate company.

~ HE oldest euneiform letters in the world
have been found. Besides being the old
est letters in cupeiform writing known
they are interesting because of kicks
against boarding house keepers, husbands,
etc. These letters are written in cunei-
form writing on bricks that are being un-
earthed by the German Oriental society, which
is now making important excavations in Nine
veh, Babylon and Ashur
These bricks vary in size The largest are
three inches long, two inches wide, and one
fourth inch thick The average is about one
inch wide and one-fourth inch thick. These
letters, according to Prof Eiselen, who de-
eiphered them, must have been written from
700 to 1000 Il. c. The letters about the board
ing house and the divorce are supposed to have
belonged to the library of King Ashur Ban
Apal, who lived in Nineveh in $50 b. c. This
library is said to have contained about 10000
inscribed bricks and cylinders.
The most interesting of these bricks was
written by a man who lived in a boarding
house. The poor boarder does not say that his
andlady set hash before him three times
day, but he intimates as much.
He has written his father letter in which
he incloses money asking the old man to buy
him fish, bread, and other food, as he is unable
to get anything good to eat in the town where
he lives

~rHERE are places in the world where
women dress in mems clothing and
men don women's apparel.
Even in Paris there are women
dressed in cheap, coarse, masculine attire,
working as teamsters and day laborers.
While it is against the law, the police wink
Mt the fact and allow them to earn peace
ably their daily wages.
In Persia. in some of the interior parts,
the women wear the strangest, oldest trou-
ser garments They seem TO like them, too,
from the fact that they cling to them in
spite of all efforts to make them don femi-
nine attire.
Then there are the Alpine dairy maids
who dress as men when they go about their
work and look pretty, if We are inclined to
take evidence, from the numbers of men who
yearly persuade them to cast off their mascu-
line dress and put on more clinging costumes.
But then their eyes are so bright and their
cheeks so red that they couldn't really look
homely in anything they might choose 70
wear.

Old Rope Becoming FaporiIe.

has made fabric from old ropes which he
unravels, weayes into rough cloths, and J

is making money, too, and has established

colonies.

What Turkish Names Mean;
Help i'm Your War Reading.

~ HE confusion which has arisen in re-
gard to understanding the whereabouts
and pronouneing the names of the
places which figure in the accounts of
the Balkan war is quite excusabe, for they are
perplexing to a degree. One reason for the
confusion which exists concerning the locality
of various towns and villages is that in
numerous cases they have three names-Turk-
ish, Greek, and Sav-while few of them
have even n fourth--Frank. or European-
name well.
For instance, Edirneh and uskub are
merely Turkish eorruptions of the Greek
Adrianople and the Greek Skopia, the latter
of which in the Slav languages becomes Skop-
live. Others, again, are translations from
one language into another Belopolye (Ser-
vian), in the Sanjak of Novbazar, being
the same place Akova (Iurkish). Kirk
kilisseh, according to the current interpre-
tation. means ia Turkish Forty Churches,
from kirk meaning forty, and kilisseh,"
meaning church.
Some high authorities Turkish philology
assert that the first word Of the name should
not be Kirk" but Kirk" meaning broken,
tumbledown and that the name was given
to the town from the ruins of old church
which were a prominent landmark when the
Turks occupied it, However that may be-
whether the name means Ruined Church y
or Forty Churches the Slav name, Lozen-
grad, the City of Vineyards (kirk Kilsseh
is famous for its wines), is altogether distinct.
