Announcement of the engage
ment of the Duchess de Valentines,
adopted daughter of Prince Louis
of Monaco, only son of the ruler
of that tiny principality, serves to
recall the fact that the throne of
Monaco is the only old-World
throne ever shared by an Amerl-
car-born woman. The woman who
gained this distinction was the sec
ond wife of Prince Albert, the
present ruler, and originally was
Miss Alice Heine, daughter of an
immensely wealthy Hebrew bank
err of New orleans. She was first
married to the Duke of Richelieu
a French nobleman. He died in
1880, and some years afterward she
married the Prince of Monaco
from whom she later secured a
divorce.
In olden times the ladies in Eng
land used nutmegs as a perfume.
The nutmegs were set in silver, and

belt like a modern scent-bottle.

WHEN LIPS DON'T MEET.

There are some lips that simply
are not meant to be kept closed.
Usually, of course, the lips that
are habitually parted indicate a
lack of mental concentration, too
much softness of character, indo-
lence and a lack of purpose. You
Will notice. too, that men and wom-
en- of striking force of character
often keep their lips very tightly
closed, especially when working
under great mental strain. When
children keep their mouths open as
q habit the doctor usually tells
their parents that they have ade-
noids. Then the parted lips indi-
cate mouth breathing, which is
physically injurious and reacts on
the intellect as well as on the body.
But in spite of all that, parted,
lips are sometimes very charming.
They arc sometimes possessed by
persons of Keen thought.

NEW MEXICO BEATS u. S.

The Industrial Review and Man
ufacturer says:
Not a single American copper
mining company will be called up
on to pay excess profits federal tax
es for the year 1919. The slack
copper market conditions and rela-
lively low price for the metal guar
anteed a respite from the burden
Of the wartime levy for at least
one year.
The question of copper taxes for
two years-1917 and 19IS-has not
been settled. The government,
through the internal revenue de-
partment, has determined that an
aggregate of $6S,000,00O shall be
forthcoming from the copper COM
panies for that 24-month period.
Liberal policies in dealing with
mineral development are important
in view of the fact that gold and
silver are essential as a basis for
the worlds enormously expanded
paper currency.
New Mexico proved wiser than
lllt ltuti oil 6oNtl lllIltlll LII
revenue when the last legislative
session arranged statutory con-
tract by which the copper mines of
the state pay large amounts of tax
es for the years 1919 and 1920 At
that time it could not be foreseen'
that the companies would find no
market for vast stores of copper
left on their hands by the end of
war demand. Immediate resump-
ton of business abroad and at
home was expected to use up the
surplus and cause normal activity
in production.
Instead there was a fifty per cent.
reduction of production and no
sales Of 1919 copper.
The profits tax of three war
years is added, divided by three, to
get the annual average, and the
yearly average is paid for each of
the years 1919 and 1920, regard
less of losses that actually occurred
to the companies in 1919 and are
foretold now for 1920, with the
present outlook as to markets and
the cost of labor and material.

thus: Her upper lip-a bewitch-

persuaded to close upon her lower

BIBLE BEST OF LITERATURE

One should never speak con-
temptuously Of literature. The
educated person should have
acquaintance with the great mas
ters of thought of all ages. It is
they who have onunciated the eter-
nal principles of justice and honor
and truth. Their wisdom may
seem for the moment obscured in
the fogs of contention and contro-
versy. But sooner or later the
principles that they laid down are
seen to be the deepest fundamen-
tails of human wisdom.
without depreciation of either
style or nobility of thought Of any
Of the great writers the world has
produced, let it be said that there
are no writings that as literature
surpass the stories of the Bible.

Books may come and books may

"What's The -Four Hundred
anyway Almost every girl has
propounded to herself this query,
wondering what they really do,
how they really act, what tran
spires within the enchanted. realm.
oh, no, New York is not the
only -Four Hundred" Every lit
tie village, every one horse hamlet
has its own. Wherever there's a

sort -Four Hundred" This, to the

keeping with its origin. A few de-
cades ago, when New York City
already boosted several million
souls, some one who evidently was
considered important enough to be

perhaps only four!

COAL MINE WILL BE
OPENED IN FEW DAYS
IN SAND0VAL COUNTY

Especial Correspondence TO The Journal)
Bernalillo, N. NJ, Feb. 1.-THE
PlaCtitas coal mine. owned by the
Bernalillo Mercantile company, will
be furnishing good quality of coal
whiting eight days. The mine is
accessible for teams and this sec
ton of the valley will experience
a favorable change in being able to
procure fuel far cheaper than
heretofore. A good road leads to
the mine from Bernalillo, a dis
lance Of about nine miles, which
will be cut down to seven miles
after bridging a deep arroyo.
Pedro Gurule has made a con-
tract to work the Sloan coal mines,
and has brought in several loads
of good coal. His brother, Hiri-
neo, is with him. Both are eX
perienced coal miners and good
workers.
Road building toward Jemez and
Cuba is progressing at a good rate,
thanks to the very favorable sea-
son permitting uninterrupted
work. The road is in fairly pass
able condition for over seven miles
and is up to the junction of the
Mesa road from Albuquerque to
San Isidro. By July l the trip
from Rernalillo to Jeme2 can be
made in less than two hours, it is
predicted.
Alfred Otero, from Jemez Hot
Springs, was a visitor in Bernalillo
placing his little daughter in the
care and with the sisters of Lo-
rettO in their academy. Mr..
Otero is full of energy and now
particularly busy in putting the
road between San Isidro and the
Jemez Hot Springs in trim condi-
ton. These springs, after the
most scenic highway leading to
them is completed, will be the
Mecca for health seekers and par

and need a recuperating rest, from
the buss and noise of city life and
business.

There were once two boys

were wondering through the
woods one day when Tom
stumbled over a stump. He got
up very angry and gave the
stump a severe kick. He noticed
that it was hollow and the boys
heard a queer sound coming
out of the ground. They put their
ears to the stump.
soon they heard what they
decided was few rough men
talking. They tore the top off the
stump and found a ladder leading
down into the ground. Very
bravely they went down the ladder,
soon they were very near the men.
They sneaked around through a
little passage, and the men heard
them.
