Temoyed to this yillage from Pecos in the early part of the last century, when the latter was abandoned, Ac- cording to rumor it is kept in a sa- ered temple brilt*in the bowels of the earth and connected with the sur- face by hidden passages and laby- rinths. » The priests tend the sacred fire carefully, and, if tradition is to be believed, it has not been extinguished sitee Montezuma left the earth for his heavenly home.

Picturesque California Woimen. The women grape-pickers of Cali- fornia are picturesque.

With Plenty of Cpportunities. A teacher in a public school of Bos- ton. once had great diffeuty in im- parting to a boy rupil of 10 certain | elementary principles of grammar. In class one day the instructor. Lexperi- enced more than the usual smofnt of trouble with the lad. the teacher. finally blurted out the question: “At least, you can tell me why we study grammar.” ©, “Yes, ma’am,” returned the puptt; “we study grammar so that we can jaugh at the mistakes of others.”— Harper’s Weekly. . Pays to Watch Small Things. _ No matter what the general magni- tude of'a business. may be, it is well worth the while to look out for its The fire, it is said, was | j pleted. In desperation | Appeal Made by Gov. Andrew to Sec- retary of War Stanton John A. Andrew, the war governor of Massachusetts, wrote a letter to Edwin M. Stanton, President Linceln’s secretary of war, in behalf of a cou- ple of lovers, one on the field in the Twelfth Massachusetts volunteers, and the other a young woman at the home of her parents, not many miles from Newton. Military necessity separated the young people, and prevented them from joining hands in-mearriage. The soldier had four times asked for a fur- lough, each time to be refused. The war department refused the young woman permission to go to the front, even in company with her brother, to solemnize the betrothal, and to per- mit the wife to share the lot of the husband. The young woman then { wrote an appeal to the governor, which he forwarded to the secretary of war, with this indorsement: “This case appeals to all our sym- pathies as patriots and gentlemen, and I appeal to the chivalry of the department of war, which presides over more heroes than Homer ever dreamed of, and better and braver men than his muse ever sung. I pray you to grant this request of my fair correspondent, and generations will rise up and call us blessed.”—Boston Herald. MANY: YEARS OF LABOR LOST. Odd Experience of a Man Who Cnce Wrote a Book. “I have been told,” said a man of experiences, for men to spend. much thought and toil over inventions of one sort and another, only to find when they took these things to Washington to be pat- ented that the same ideas had long before been worked out by somebody else and that patents had already been issued on them. I had that ex- perience, once, with a book. “I spent fourteen years, once, writ- ing a book end I had it all but com- An@ then one day, stopping at a second-hand book stall, I picked up from among a lot of bcoks off at five cents each one that bore a in the very words that I had dec upon for the title of my book; and the opening sentence in this book was al- most identical with that in my own. “Sor else had had the same idea that I had worked over so long, and had written and published a book about it fifty years before.” Hopping From World to World. Few children reach the age of 8 years without having worked cut a cosmology of their own end their own system of metaphysics. A group of youngsters of that mature age were going home from school the other day when one began to instruct the others what to do in case ofa certain crisis. “When the end of the world comes do you know what you want to do?” asked the manikin. “Well, you want to give a little Dp like this. The world will slip out from under you and you'll light on the one a followin’ it and be all right.” Then the young- sters ‘began practicing the sort of jump that was necessary to give them im- mortality—Kansas City Times. Dull Days on the Willamette. Brisk news and chances for scrap- py comment are on the bum. Won't some fashionable lady or gentleman Please scandalize herself or himself, or some holicr-than-thou crank stick his nose into someone else’s business and help to while dull time away in Portland? Lighten the gloom, some- body. Doesn’t anybody feel like run- ning away from his wife or taking a mint julep after 2 o'clock in the morn- ing or smoking a cigarette or some- thing moderately debauching? We're getting too good and the sun is shin- ing too serenely on the banks of the willowy Willamette—Portland Ore gonian. Vagaries of Weather on Ocean, It will take an expert to account for some of the vagaries of the weather conditicns on the ocean. Certain spots are shunned because of their known wickedness, from an unknown cause, and certain routes, like the northern lanes of the Atlantic, with its blows and bergs, and the great cir- cle of the Pacific, are known to be *‘nasty.” It is this consistency of cussedness, the reliability that may be placed on blows, that used to en- able the old sailing masters to make time. But in these days of steamships the passengers are not expected to re- joice in such conditions. Eagle’s Crue! Sport. ‘The golden eagle sometimes cap tures ptarmigan almost, it seems, for the-mere pleasure of doing so, and then has a little game with its luck- less prey. Soaring to a great heicht, it drops the ptarmigan from its tal- ons and soars away as if paying no at- tention to it; then, suddenly swoop- ing earthwards with terrific speed, it seizes the bird before it has time to fall to ground, and soars upwards to repeat the operation | until tired— Country Life.
