 Good by, mother" he said cheeri- ly kissing the cheek she held up tot him. ,.
 "Good-by, my son." Her tone was almost as cold as if she had been addressing a stranger. I remember vaguely that Dicky had once told me that his mother was not much given to caresses that, in fact, she rarely kissed any of her children.
 But I was too deeply stirred to speculate upon my mother in-laW's temperament. Only one tnlnS lO0m- cd large before me, Dicky had kissed his mother lasti

 "Ill warn you now, Madge, don't take mother to see anything less than a hundred years old. If it is some thing very fine, you might venture on some recent object of eighty or ninety years, but anything under seventy-five would be altogether too hopelessly modern"
 DiCl<y stood near the door, attred fer the street. His hat and stick were in his hand, and his eyes were dancing mischievously as he looked from his mother to me-
 I did not share his good spirits. His departure for the studio would leave his mother on my hands for the day. It would be our first time alone together, and I dreaded the ordeal
 "Dicky! you are ridiculous,' his mother said tartly, but I caught a glimmer of a smile and knew that she was not as displeased as she pretended to be at his raillery

Some fellowbeing, just from the seat
of war in Germany, has given out the
report, without vouching for its truth,
that the Germans no longer bury the
dead but hang them in chains and rend
the fat from them to be used in the man
ufacture of ammunition. Fats are said
to be that scarce in Germany on that
authority. Maybe the vast numbers of
Belgians that are being transported to
the interior of Germany are being used
for the same purpose. Maybe the Brit
ish army surrendered to the Turks some
months since has also gone into the
melting pot and is now being fired back
at their fellow countrymen on the
Somme. The British have complained
that they could not get any information
as to where these prisoners were being
confined. But we have grown so &C.
customed to the horrors of war that hor-
rible reports fail to get rise out OF US.
The Germans cannot do anything new
in the way of frightfulness after this.
Now let all the charges that the Ger
mans have to make against the British
come past the censor. We are prepared
for them.

Mexico's Spiked Mountain a Curious
81 Geoiooicai Freak

Mexico's Spiked Mountain a Curious
Geological Freak. y, ~. -
One of the most remarkable gefog-
zeal freaks in Mexico is a mountain
situated near Pachuca, which presents
the appearance at distance of being
covered with spikes. The sides Of the
mountain are closely studded with
stone columns, or palisades. These coll
umns are Eve feet to twelve feet long
and as large around as an average
mans body. s,--~,s~ -s,,.-.,~-, g. St.. 81 .a~ T.
1t Is a remarkable uplift Of nature,
which has the appearance, however, OF
being the handiwork of human beings.
One side Of the mountain Is almost
perpendicular, and the stone columns
protrude from the surface at right
angles, forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca is one of the most noted
mining districts in Mexico, and it is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain is out Of keeping with
the remainder Of the formation of the
mineralized region.
The stone is as hard as flint and has
withstood the elements for ages. The
spikes form natural battlement that
makes the mountain appear from a
distance like some ancient fort.
The mines Of the Pachuca district
are situated not far from this wonder
full freak of nature, but the forma-
ton encountered in their respective
underground workings is Of an entire.
ly different kind from that Of the
palisade.-Pearson's Weekly. rs."-
