That the landed property of the
country has been undergoing a proc
ess of concentration in the hands of a
few is disproved by the facts. Take,
for example, the property in the State
of Vera Cruz once owned by Santa
Anna. This has been divided into
some ten or more separate planta-
tions. A property in the State of
Michoacan, called San Bartolo, has
been divided into fifteen parts. An
other has been divided into ten parts.
A property in the State of Guiana
iuato has been divided into fifty parts,
and another in Michoacan into twelve.
Many of these divisions are the re-
suit of successive partitions among
the heirs; others have been by reason
of sale. and some by foreclosure of
mortgage. But, whatever the cause
of division, the fact remains that
most of the great properties have
been undergoing such process. The
particular instances cited have occtr-
red during the past fifty years or SO.
The list could be extended far be-

DISPOSED OF DREAD ENEMY
Remarkable Intelligence Shown by
Prairie Dogs in Burying Rattle
snake Alive.

1t would not seem very easy thing
to bury a snake alive, but that Is what
an Oklahoma man saw some prairie
dogs do.
He was resting under tree when he
noticed commOtion among some prai-
RE dogs near him. They would run
up to a certain spot, peep at something,
and then Scamper back. Looking more
closely, he saw 10 to 20 dogs about
a rattlesnake, which presently went
into one of the dogs holes.
No sooner had it disappeared than
the little fellows began to push in dirt,
evidently to fill up the hole. By the
time they had pretty well covered the
entrance the snake stuck his head up
through the dirt, and every dog scam
pered off to a safe distance, all the
time barking.
The snake crawled to another hole
about a rod distant, and went in. Then
forward came the dogs again. and all
went to work to push up earth to the
hole. This time they succeeded, and
completely covered the entrance. This
done they proceeded to beat the earth
down, employing their noses for this
purpose. When they had rendered the
earth quite hard they went away. The
observer examined their work, and was
surprised to find that they had packed
the earth in solid with their noses, and
had sealed the snake inside.

Acquiring Good Speaking Voice.

The formation of a good or a bad
speaking voice is a question of habit.
But in order to acquire that habit cas-
lily the child must hear nicely modulat-
ed voices about him. If your own
voice is harsh or nasal your child may
uncOnsciously initiate your mode Of
speaking. Or if companions talk
through the nose" he may assimilate
their way of talking.
Try your best to keep your voice in
the proper pitch while your children
are about, and keep a watchful ear on
their voices. If you hear one word
spoken in nasal twang correct it at
once, so that the child will know the
difference between the right and the
wrong ways. 40.

Hard to Cure SUFFERING.

A promiRent physician says elocu-
ton exercises usually aggravate slut
tering; he has never known hypnotism
to effect cure, and pyscho-analysis
used alone cannot succeed. The effec-
tive treatment is very complex and
delicate, and the slightest mistake may
make cure impossible. 1t involves
thorough study of the bodily condi-
tons, minute regulation Of home in
fuence and business habits, relaxation
Of mind and body, spontanelty of ex-
preston, equilibrium Of emotions, pre-
cision of thought, correction of charac-
ter, development of confidence, read
justment to environment and the learn.

Remedy for Hiccoudhs.

Several cures for hiccoughs will be
welcomed by many mothers. Have the
patient suck lump of sugar having a
few drops of vinegar on it. Drink a
glass of water upside down. That
doesn't mean to stand on your head,
though it certainly sounds rather like
it. Hold the glass Of water in one
hand, lean forward and bend over the
glass, fitting it away from you, and
drink from the further edge.
Another remedy is to stand facing
the person hiccoughing, grasp her
hands firmly, look steadily at her and
get her to breathe evenly, keeping time
with you. Or have her hold her breath
and count 60. Or take nine gulps of
cold water very slowly.

IN DEFENSE. OF BACHELORS
Proposition to Tax Single Men Has
Aroused Active Opposition Of
Philadelphia Scribe.

One of those business mems asso-
as goads to drive municipal ambition
to the heights now invites the lifted
eyebrow by suggesting that tax of
two or three dollars a year be paid
upon every single man, remarks the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The notion is rooted in injustice.
Obviously the business gentlemen are
married. The single man, especially if
he be young and thoughtless, is about
the highest taxed citizen in the COM
munity. He is mamma for the laundries
and he pays as much to have his but
tons sewed on-lonely man that he is !!
as some real estate owners put up
in formal taxes. He is the mystical
element which enables the restaurant
owners to pay high rents for expensive
quarters in the central sections of the
city, for he is politely robbed every
time he sits down to a desOlate meal.
sOmely as a chambered nautilus, yet
he is taxed to the hilt indirectly, since
it is from him that the overload of
the premises collects the money de-
manded by the house owner, and it is
certainty that the man who really
owns the real estate doesn't pay his
taxes out of his profits.
The city should rather mix little
philosophy with it's taxation theories.
Thereby it might do a double service
to the community. Special taxes
might be levied against the diamonds
worn at dansants, and especially on
the diamonds which obese red gentle
men wear Oh their little fingers at the
cabarets. Special taxation might go
down the line from that starting point
to take in fur coats, high hats, jeweled
slippers, the tenth highball, and the
other nonessentials so plentifully in
evidence all about.
