the sole reason for this ceremony. 1t
comes from an old Chinese legend, and
If a Chinaman did not fly his kite on
the given day he would rest uneasily
for the remainder Of his life. in fear
that misfortune would overtake his
family.
The legend runs that many years
ago a certain Chinaman was warned
in a dream that misfortune would
come to his home on a certain day
Accordingly on that day he repaired
to an adjacent hill and amused him
self and his family by flying a kite
while he was waiting for the disaster
In the evening. upon returning to the

GOOD COOKING A HIGH ART.

It takes brains to be a good cook while
any one could be an average lawyer. doc
tor. dentist or druggist. In some cities
there are splendid buildings for the do
nestle sciences. They take high rank.
prejudices are set aside. and there are
even waiting lists Of the domestic science

The usual concept Of an artist is one
who mixes different colored paints and
makes weird marks on a canvas.
A slightly broader view includes
certain high class Of stonecutters, also
people with fearful and wonderful
makeups who declaim behind the foot
lights and initiate real life.
All this Is too narrow. Art is the
combination or modification Of things
to a certain end. In its broadest sense
it is applicable to any product Of the
hand Of man.
In common usage. however, we ap-
ply it only to the more finished prod
ucts, to the things done in the most
workmanlike way.
If we say thing is artistic we mean
that it is beautiful and that 1t has been
done in skillful manner.
The word may be used concerning
the humblest tasks If done with taste
and diligence. There are artistic house
keepers. artistic cooks.

meal that was a dream-everything

artistic way.
think l have heard the same thing
Of prunes-but we must draw the line
somewhere.
How better can men be served than
by good cookery?
He who is properly fed can do better
work, have happier disposition. be
more at peace with his fellow men and
thus be higher morally, mentally and
spiritually than he who is Ill fed.
Napoleon said that an army moves on
its stomach, but eating Is not confined
to the military. Not only an army. but
all civilization moves on its stomach.
If the truth were known the cooks OF
the world have had a more uplifting
and civilizing influence than those re-
ceiving more extended notices in his
tory
That man was wise who fed and
clothed the people before teaching them
higher truths. 1t is hard to reform a
hungry man.
Good cooks create good will.
BY all means let us have vocational
schools teaching domestic science If
all cooking were good the millennium
would be advanced several centuries.
The artistic cook is in very truth
friend of man.

A SINGER OF THE SUNLAND.

Could but teach man to believe.
Could l but make small men to grow,
To break frail spider webs that weave
About their thews and bind them low;
Could I but sing one song and lay
Grim doubt; I then could go my way
In tranquil silence, glad, serene
And satisfied, from off the scene.
From Joaquin Miller's Last Poem.
He was christened Cincinnatus Heine
Miller, but the muse rechristened him
with the more poetical Joaquin Miller.
He was ruggedly American in his
every fiber. yet won his first recogni-
ton in England.
happy as in his gardens where he was
surrounded by a wealth Of flowers. He
was a friend Of the trees. The birds
trusted him end came flocking at bis
whistled call.
He had a supreme faith. and it
was this spiritual quality that shone
out Of his poems and made appeal to
the hearts Of men.
While he spent most Of his life on
the rough frontier. his soul was gentle.
While eccentric and almost uncouth on
the exterior. his heart and brain had
the fine culture Of great thoughts and
deep communion with the soul OF
things While he cared little for &C.
clesiastc forms. his every thought and
aspiration was intensely religious.
In an age when every nmester was
trying for bizarre effects and novel
combinations Of words supposed to con-
ceal thought he sang simply in words
easily understood and concerning things
that enter into the lives Of all.
His songs won their way because be
sang Of the things he knew. His verses
have the sweep of western winds. They
are full Of the trees and flowers. Of
mountain. desert and sea; they breathe
the life Of the pioneer: they are rugged
and gentle by turn: they hold robust
sentiment. and they are touched by
the humanities.
Joaquin Miller built himself cabin
on a mountain peak. from which he
might look out at once on mountain
and fruitful valley. on the city and on
the ocean. Here among his gardens
his life drew to its sunny close. Pic
turesque to the last, he willed that his
body be burned on high funeral pyre
and the ashes be left to blow out
to sea-
His last cry echoed that Of other
great poets and seers since the world
began:
Could but teach man to believe!
If men were taught really to believe
this would be a transformed world.

the best features Of both the tropics

In ancient times Mexico attracted
the cream Of all those living on the

Mexican Aztecs had a comparatively

In yet more ancient times there was
a still m1ghtier civilization, as recent
excavations Of the old ruins show.
There were cities miles In extent and

All Of this but goes to show the de-

to maintain a great, prosperous and

What a shame it is that such an

Recently the newspapers had a very
funny story of jury foreman so bash
full he could not report the verdict. He
got it so twisted that the jury had to
be dismissed. and had not the prisoner
simplified matters by pleading guilty
new trial would have been necessary.
1t should be a part of our public
school education to train people to
speak in public. Every man and wo-
man should be able to express himself
or herself intelligently before an as
semblage If called upon to do so.
There is no more inherent difficulty
in speaking to many people than In
speaking to one or two.
It is merely a matter Of forgetting
oneself and thinking Of the thing to be
said.
Bashfulness arises from self con-
sciousness. and is only form Of in
verted vanity.
People who think more Of their
hands and feet than Of their message
are guilty Of this reverse egotism.
The man who really has something
to say and means to say it will get a
hearing. By having his mind on his

rest is easy.
He who thinks of himself more than

THE HORSE.
BY JAMES A. EDCERTON

Some misguided people talk Of 1.-The
horseless age" They have even called
q magazine by that ungrateful and
sorrowful title.
II such an age should ever come 1t
would be a sad one for humanity.
Fortunately there is no indication
that 1t will ever arrive. There are
PRODUCTION of the locomotive and auto
mobile, and they bring higher prices.
The horse has been mans insepara-
BILE companion. helper and friend. He
has plowed his fields, drawn his loads,
carried him on his Journeys, gone with
him into battle, swiftly rescued him
from danger, been with him in his tri-
umphal pageants, borne him to his
place of rest.
The horse lives in song and story. in
painting and sculpture. in classic lore
and Holy Writ.
Of all our animal friends the horse
is closest to man, most faithful, no
blest, most patient. His service to the
human race exceeds that of all the
rest.
If he Is not as swift as our modern
desires. if in our mad rush we desert
him for steam and gasoline, 1t is not
that he has lost or ever will lose his
place in our gratitude and affections.
In our humber tasks and saner pleas
ures he yet bears his wonted part.
The horse responds to our every
mood and need He Is strong for our
burdens and heavy labor. swift for the
race, enters into the spirit Of our sport,
Gies to the very limit Of his endurance
when human life Is in danger, takes on
The wild lust of our fighting, is proud
In our pride. thrills with pleasure at
our touch, is patient with our cruelty,
responds to our kindness. loves our
children and mourns for our missing
anes- He is so wise that horse sense"
has become the symbol Of all that is
substantial and dependable In human
sense.
"A horseless ager God forbid! The
very thought is mournful, and more
over there Is no truth behind it.
The horse belongs to the human fam
n.y. He is as much part Of our life
rs the grass and sky, the rivulets and
hills, laughter and love, hope and
home.
II for nothing else we will keep him
as an example Of noble Quanties-pa-
tienoe, industry. sanity, fidelity, ODE
oience and loyalty.

THE TROUBLE WITH MEXICO.

An American traveller familiar with
Mexican conditions recently stated
that two-thirds Of the people OF our
sister republic can neither read nor
write and that one-half Of the remain
ing one-third are really illiterate.
In other words. only one-sixth OF
Nexico's $4,000. 900 population are edu.
Gated in any proper sense Of the term.
The statement makes plain the rea-
ION for the country's present mournfu!
eondition-for the savagery. brutality.
anarchy and all forms Of lawlessness
that afflict the land.
Physically speaking, Mexico is one Of
NE garden spots Of the world. The
