Huerta Had Good Days.
1t has become known that the adj
ministration has divided Huerta's acts
into the sheep and the goats. 1t will
not consider legal any act of the Huer-
ia government committed after Oct.
10, which was the day on which Presi-
cent Huerta imprisoned the Maderista
members of congress and assumed to
Himself practically dictatorial powers
It will not raise any objections to the
constitutionalists repudiating such OF
Huerta's acts as were committed after
Oct 10.
1t is understood, however, that this
attitude of the United States will af-
feet the general situation regarding
foreign interests but little, as Huerta
had practically no dealings with
Europeans after last fall. The foreign
loans and other obligations under
taken by the Huerta government were
all concluded before Oct. 10, according
to records here.

fore Abraham went down into Egypt,
tcfore mummifying was practiced or
metals known. In the days in which
these beads we're buried, perhaps with
some Egyptian girl, the bodies were
buried in shallow graves in the sand
and were laid in with no coffin, only
skin or mat wrapped about them,
and a few pots placed near them to
hold their food and drink On that
long journey where no traveller e'er re-
turns In the graves Of the rich are
found very fine pots, as we'll as slate

tools and beads either of carmelian
or other stone. All these things are
very different from the articles used
in historic times in Egypt and have
been carefully studied during the past
few years and are easily recognized
by antjquarians. Prof. Quibell is one
of the highest authorities On ancient
Egypt and there can be no doubt Of
the genuineness of the beads. Until
recent years there was nothing in
this country SO old as those beads
except a few articles in the Boston
museum. In recent years, however,
the Metropolitan museum in New York
in it's Egyptian section has a few
articles belonging to the same pre-
historic period.

The Perfect Hostess.


The perfect hostess does any num-
Der of little things to show her pleas
ure in the presence of her guest; she
turns her into one OF her daintiest
bedrooms, made charming with vase
of flowers and perhaps holding some
specially cherished view from a win
dow. She states the hours for meals
and is herself punctual at them, and II
she has any notion of her own COM
fort as well as her guests she provld-
es some entertaining reading matter
for the rest hour in the bedroom or on
the porch. She also gives the strang-
err to understand that she may come
and go about the grounds or woodlands
as she pleases, outside Of meal hours,
and does not show by word or sign
any of the tyrannies of the vulgar
minded and selfish householder. Since
she is upon her native heath, it is in
cumbent upon her, in fact, to shut her
eyes to small remissnesses in the out
slider. for, all things said and done,
the greatest obligations at such times
lie with the hostess.
AS nation we are all beginning to
have country homes of some sort, so
those provided with these luxurdes
should be generous to poorer friends
and make it point to share their
blessings sometimes with persons tied
by necessity to city lives. An invita-
ton to come out and see the country,
take q motor ride or walks in beauti-
full woodlands is something any city
dweller will value at this season; and
along with everything else there is the
social Importance guests give coun-
try home.
A young woman who bought tiny
farm on $40 u week has built up a
gathering of very delightful friends in
this way. Everybody who goes out to
see her carries useful gift OF fine
food in some shape, and everybody
helps with the housekeeping and gard
ening.
The house Is an old stable turned
into a species of bungalow, and the
dining table and chairs have rustic
legs.

said:
