Mexicans Are Great Walkers.

There is 4 saying in Europe that
the Spaniards are the champion walk
ers of the world, and certainly their
descendants in America, the Mexicans,
are the champions of the new world.
Three nights every week there is a
concerto in the main downtown plaza
in Monterey and nearly all the Amer
leans in town, including many big,
husky transients on the way to or
from Tampico, sit on the park benches
and watch in wonder while the Mexi-
cans walk.
All the young people in town, it ap-
pears, walk around and around and
around that plaza, the boys in one
direction and the girls in the opposite
direction, while their parents and
chaperons and a few aged people
share the benches with the husky
Americans.

Embroidery Ancient Art.

The art of embroidery has been
practiced from time immemorial-il is
said to be as old as the art of dress
ing. The mummy clothes of ancient
Egypt show the earliest extant EN-
broidery and the "pome-granates of
blue and purple and scarlet'' of the
book of Exodus were of embroidery.
The art reached its height in the
early middle ages. In Greece and
Rome laws were made to moderate it's
use, but without success. The most
distinguished artists did not count II
condescensiOn TO make the designs
from which the hie.iest ladies' I'm the
land executed their embroideries. No
workers more skilled In fhe ari
than the English.

Gallant War Services.

Gallant War Services.
During the recent war, notwith-
standing the use of telephones, wire
less and all the methods of communi-
cation which modern genius has in
vented, pigeons played an invaluable
and gallant part.
In the United States there is prob
ably not q city which cannot boast Of
racing-pigeon fanciers, while clubs and
associations for the Advancement and
enjoyment of the fascinating sport of
racing the birds are being constantly
formed in Eastern. Western, and to
some extent in Southern cities. Lofts
of homing pigeons are maintained by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Md, and the de-
partment holds a membership in the
Washington Racing Pigeon club, n
branch Of the American Racing Pigeon
union. Many of the Washington club
races flown during the past summer
and fall have beer won by Department
of Agriculture birds, which number
about $50.
Just what faculty enables the hon.
ing pigeon to return to its loft many
miles away is a point of dispute
among eminent homing-pigeon breed
ers. Some attribute it to remarkable
instinct. Others maintain that this
bird has sight so brilliant and power
full that it is able TO see much farther
than any other species. while there are
some who claim that 1t is the eN-
IRENE and strong attachment for
home, coupled with a peculiar memory.
Training the Birds.
1t is necessary to keep, the birds in
good condition with plenty of outdoor
exercise. both in good and bad wealth
er, if they are to have endurance for
long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched in February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
cared for. only m of a pair is trained
each day. On alternate days the other
is shipped to the training station. In
this way the breeding is not interfered

In the beginning of the training the
birds are conveyed in a basket not

their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward

been reached.
Fly in Clear Weather.
Clear weather should always be Sc
lected for the birds flights, for many
birds are lost during a stormy period
Then, too, good weather is especially
necessary for rapid flying.
It is considered best not to be In

The German engineer was preparing
to marry and the wedding day was
set. At the last moment it was dis
covered that the bride to-be had not
obtained a passport, and as she lived
in neighboring country there was
no possible way for her to get INTO
Germany at the hour appointed for the
ceremony.
Rather than postpone the happy
event. however, the couple devised an
ingenious plan. They had the we'd
ing party gather at the frontier, and
the marriage service was read while
the bridegroom stood on German soil,
and the bride on the other side of the
line. When the ceremony was over
the groom reached out his hand, drew
his bride over the line into Germany
and drove away in a waiting coach.
