Roorish and Urbane,

When we speak of person as "boor- fish" we mean that he is rude, i'll bred and uncouth. We seldom stop to think that the word originally meant noth- ing more than rustic" Boor Is the same word as the German "bauer" and the Dutch "boer," signifying "a farmer" The manners of tine peas antry are alluded to in an uncompli- mentary way by the history of this and many other words in the lan- guage. "Heathen' and pagan" meant simply country bred' and village bred" once upon a time. Culture and the higher civilized virtues were thought of as originating in towns and making their way slowly. if at all, to the rural districts. So we have as an antonym to "boorish" the word ''ur- bane"-which originally meant "city- fied."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BURMA'S OLDEST TEMPLE.
This Towering Pile Looks as Though
 It Were Built of Gold.


 Burma's oldest and most famous temple, Shwe Dagon Paya, is one of the sights of Rangoon. The temple stands on a mound which was ap- preached by four flights of steps, one at each point of the compass. but the southern side is the principal entrance and at the foot of these steps are tive great leogryphs covered with white plaster. The western entrance has been closed by the Notifications which were built by the English during the Burmese wars.
 At the top of the stairs is broad platform. from the center of which rises the paya. This is of brick GOV cred with gold, studded in places with jewels. and it is surmounted by gild- ed "hti' or umbrella. from which hang quantities of gold and silver bells which tinllle continually in the brea aze.
 The pile is about 310 feet in height. and 1t gives the effect of being made of solid gold. The shape is also very graceful, and seen against a back ground of deep blue sky is almost dag zling in its beauty. At the base of the structure and round the edge of the platform are numerous shrines and chapels, and in every direction there are bells of all sizes, each with deer's antlers beside it, with which the wor- shiper strikes 1t as he passes.
 The platform of the pagoda presents an animated scene. Numbers of Bur In, iotI r1 colored garments tbrong 1t continually. but 1t is so spacious that many thou sands can assemble there without any impression of overcrowding.-Ex- change.

MUSiC'S UNIQUE QUALITY.
Wherein It Differs From Sculpture,
 Poetry and Painting.


 Poetry and Painting.
 Music finds its perfection in itself without relation to other objects. It is what 1t is in itself alone. It is non- detinitive: it does not use symbols of something else: 1t cannot be translated into other terms.
 The poet seeks always complete union of the thing said and the method of saying 1t. Flaubert seeks patiently and consistently for the one word which shall not only be the exact sym bol of his thought, but which shall fit his euphony.
 The painter so draws his objects, so distributes his colors and so arranges his composition as to make of them plastic mediums for the expression of his thought. and the greatness of his picture depends first of all and inevi- tably on his power of fusing his sub jects with his technique.
 In sculpture precisely the same pro cess takes place. Neither of these arts actually copies nature Each lar ranges" it for its own purpose.
 Tn music this much sought union of matter and manner is complete. The thing said and the method of saying 1t are one and indivisible. It is, as Pater says, "the ideal of all art whatever, precisely because fin music 1t is i'm possible to distinguish the form from the substance or matter, the subject from the expression. n."-Atlantic.

SWEPT AWAY THE M0ORS.
Grimaldi Saved Monaco and Was Made
 Ruler or the Tiny Land.

Grimaldi Saved Monaco and Was Made Ruler or tho Tiny Land.
 Did you ever hear of the most dis tinguished of the Grimaldi family, not the Genoese general who remained at home and fought for his own country. nor yet the artist who did heroic stunts on canvas, nor the sixteenth century Grimaldi who died by the hand of an assassin in the palace at Monaco, but the tenth century ancestor of that prince who saved Monaco from the Moors? His was an achievement worthy of true soldier of fortune.
 The tiny principality, perched on Its seagirt cliff had been settled by the Greeks even before Athens became the greatest city of the civilized world. It was one of the cultural outpoSts ot Rome, and in the fifth century it was an important center of Christianity.
 Then the Moors crossed the Mediter- ranean. extended their sway over Spain and seized the ancient Heculis Monoeci Portus and gave over its churches and monasteries to the infidels. For POO years they defied the soldiers of Flu rope. and then Grimaldi came. There had been many wars in Genoa. and here was a chance for Genoese cap tain.
 When his military genius had driven the Moors into the sea, he was re- warded by being made absolute mon- arch of country fifty-three miles in circumference.-St.L Louis Globe Demo- crat

Last Night-Rapid Progress Being
Made in Drilling of Recruits.

At a late hour last night Co. d was
still waiting the call to entrain for
Fort Ethan Allen on the first lap of
their possible trip to the border. AL
though very little information has
been given out at headquarters, it is
thought that the word to move will
come very soon now, probably some
time Wednesday or Thursday.
It was rather quiet around the local
headquarters today except that the
recruiting is still being continued.
The company would like to make the
best appearance possible and although
the strength of the company far ex-
ceeds the number carried in times of
peace, the call is out for so more men,

SITUATION In MEXICO
C. j. GilhlIan of st. Johnsbury, just
Back From Texas Says But Few
Realize It's Seriousness.

THE situation in Mexico is not
fully appreciated here and the north
ern people do not seem to realize the
situation on the American side of the
border"
Although not wishing 10 be quoted
as an authority on the subject the
above statement was made by Q. j.
Gilfllan of II Portland street who
returned from a months business trip
in Texas Saturday Mr.. Gilhllan said
that unless immediate steps are taken
fer the relief of the border and
needed troops are sent for its protec-
tion, there viii be a strip Of territory
from 40 TO so miles wide near the
Rio Grande that will be depop-
ulated as a steady evacuation is GO
ing on by the residents of that Sec
tion. 81
Mr.. Gilfillan met and talked with
many American property holders on
both sides Of the border and they all
tell the same story of disregard of
property and lives Of Americans due
to the frequent inroads of the bandit
guerillas He told of meeting a man
on the train, who prior to the raid at
Columbus owned a partnership in a
garage in that place. Before the raid
he employed from six to eight men
and operated from two to four pas
senger cars beside, but after Villas
raid he was compelled to let his
men go and finally he and his partner
were forced to sell their goods and
machinery to get enough money to
bring them up north. for people re-
fuse to travel where there is such
constant danger.
The conditions in the border towns
are such that the civilian population
is compelled for safety's sake to re-
main in their houses after sundown.
In talk Mr.. Gilhllan had with an
other party who had just crossed the
border, the man said that Of the peo-
pie Of Mexico there were not more
than 10 per cent who wanted war, the
remaining 80 per cent wanting to be
let alone and allowed to make a liv-
ing and raise enough to eat
He further said, and in so saying
echoed the thoughts of many.
II cannot understand why the peo-
pie of the United States are sending
so much money and food to Europe
when righ here on our own border
there are thousands Of families who
are practically starving for want Of
food The food that the average
Mexican family lives upon is the
mesquit bean, a small hard bean and
very bitter. Mr.. Gilfllan said the
case would be very well paralleled II
the family of a man Of our working
class were compelled to subsist on the
beechnuts that they could pick up.
There are hundreds Of peaceful
Mexican poems who are walking 200
miles to the American border in the
hopes of admittance and Of getting
something to eat.
