THE DETACHABLE MUSTACHE.

THE DETACHABLE MUSTACHE.
Lately we have become quite
alarmed. In the last few years the
dear girls have been gradually taxi
ing themselves apart and throwing
the parts away. We began TO feel
that if they didn't stop pretty soon,
there would be nothing left. They
covered up their ears. They Topped
off their hair; they pulled out their
eyebrows. 1t was only a matter OF
time, we felt, until they would be
completely dismantled. Then, what?
But it transpires that our fears
were groundless. The pendulum has
swung back. The dear girls are
beginning to put things on again.
The latest is the detachable eye
lashes. They buy them by the
handful. If they want curly eye
lashes they paste on a pair. If they
want long, straight eyelashes they
fish out a pair of long, straight ones,
and on they go. They have eye
lashes to match their eyes. or the
eyes of their young men; or their
dresses, or their table decorations
or anything else they wish.
Which is all very well. But why
should the dear girls have a monop-
oily on this sort of thing? If they
can have detachable eyelashes, why
can't we men have detachable mus
taches? Ions, rosy vistas, rich with
possibilities open up at the thought
Every man will have a complete

ICH DENE.
(Iondon Advertiser.

There was recently discovered in the library OF
Lord Mostyn in Wales old manuscript which
evidently written in the lifetime of Edward, the
Black Prince. The document is in the language Of
Dutch Guelderand, and it is beautifully written in
the manner Of old French poetry. describing the
life and deeds of the Black Prince. But the most
striking feature about this ancient piece Of parch-
ment is that it gives in the language Of Guederland
the correct spelling Of the Princes motto namely
Itch Dene" not Itch Dein," the spelling with which
all familiar, and which, of course means 81
Serve"
The story Of the adoption of this motto with the
accompanying device of three ostrich feathers, is
that the battle of Crecy. 1S46 the Black Prince
greatly distinguished himself, and having captured
the blind King John Of Bohemia took from him the
crest which every Prince Wales then
employed. This is the popular legend found in our
history books. and questioned up this time;
from the Dutch with whom England had associa-
tions through the marriage of Edward Ills sister
10 the Duke OF Guelderland.
When found. the Mostyn document was sold. its
historic value not being realized its great sig
nfcance has been revealed in time to have II pre-
served to the nation. It has been bought by the
University Of London and presented to the Prince
Of Wales
One Of the results Of this discovery will be that
thousands of reproductions Of the Prince OF Wales

public education. and soft drinks
cost us $300,000,000 annually.
For the articles above men
toned we spend approximately
$4,000 per capita per year and for
education $7.25. The total value
OF all public school property in
the United States including build
ings grounds, and equipments is
but $4,000, 100000.
RESULTS OF INCREASED EDU-
CATION.
To bring about universal high
school education would, of course
greatly increase the cost OF our
schools. yet this added cost would
be returned many fold. Idleness
inefficiency, poverty, anarchy
crime, are the natural and newt
able fruits of ignorance. A ra'
tional high school education will
give us a population enlightened
prepared to earn living, pos.
sessed of integrity, loyal to all
that is good and ready to co
operate in the securing OF bette
condition through constructi'
rather than destructive means.
Let us in this great state Sc
our ideals as high as our noun
tain tops. Let us aspire to a citi'
zenship second to none. Let us
provide and require an education
that shall diminish the number
OF aims houses, asylums, homes
for orphans and unfortunate
women, jails and penitentiaries.
In this state attendance upon
school is compulsory between the
ages of seven and fourteen years.
our next legislature should raise
this to sixteen years and 1t should
eventually be increased to eigh-
teen years. All professions. in
dustries, and trades; all fathers
and mothers in the state OF New
Mexico should stand together for
universal high school education;
for such a preparation for life as
shall equip each individual for the
highest service to himself and to
others and which shall develop
and perpetuate democracy OF
which we, our nation and the
world shall be justly proud.
