Mendoza Is Old City. Mendoza is the metropolis of west ern Argentina. It is a city of some size carefully planned and able to stand comparison with any town in the new world or the old one the point of municipal beauty. It looks distinctly new, but as a matter of fact it is one of the oldest towns in the western hem isphere. It was founded fifty years be fore the well-known settlement of Jamestown in Virginia, while the fa thers and mothers of the Pilgrims were still living peacefully in England. Daiiy Titoujfct.

At first sitrht the offer of free board every day the sun doesn't shine might seem a reckless one, but, as a matter of fact, a day without sunshine in that desert country Is far rarer than black berries in May. If it rains at all, it is only for a very short time, leaving most of the day for sunshine, so that the sign would only catch a tender foot. Oio'time rsiews Service. In 1832 James Watson Webb, of th. New York Courier and Enquirer, es tabllshed an express-rider service be tween New York and Washington which gave his paper valuable pres tige. In the following year the Jour nal of Commerce started a rival sen ice, which enabled it to print Wash- j Ington news in New York within 4S hours of its occurrence. The most notable express-mail service of all was the "pony express," which carried messages by relays of riders across j LOoulitains and deserts and through i hostile Indian territory from St. Louis I to San Francisco, covering 1,966 miles In 10 days.

The cult of the candle plays a large role in Koman, Jewish and Eastern ecclesiastical history: and many are the customs that have their birth In some magical or ritualistic use to which thf» candle has been put. In some parts of Ireland, for instance, it , was usual on Christmas eve to burn a large candle which no one was per mitted to snuff except those who bore the name of Mary. Equipped.

It is customary but I think it is a mistake, to speak of "happy" child hood. Children are often overanxious and acutely sensitive.) Man ought to be man and master of his fate; but children are at the mercy of those around them. Mr. Rarey, the great hprse-tamer, has told us that he has known an angry word to raise the pulse of a horse ten beats in a minute. Think then how it must affect a child! —Lord Avebury. Time Is Money. In Korea, both among prosperous 1 Christians and among those to whom money Is a hasty and infrequent vis itor, a favorite subscription blank is one which says: "I promise to give days to church work this year." The days thus given are devoted to evangelistic services or to the building of churches and schools.—World Out look. Conception of Cultivation. Cultivation a generation ago meant acquaintance with letters and the fine arts, and some knowledge of at least ! two languages and literatures, and of history.

GLI AMORI DI RAFFAELLO La dolce figura di Raffaello ir radiata di gloria, quel suo amore per una donna di condizione infe riore, contrastato dai suoi mecena ti e fonte di guai per essere egli già fidanzato con la nipote del car dinale Bibbiena, infine la sua mor te precoce offrivano tali elementi di contrasto sentimentale da invo gliare drammaturghi e musicisti. I na ventina di costoro si inspiro ai pietosi casi del grande pittore, ma con esito cosi infelice che que sta forma di postuma glorifica zione si potrebbe senz'altro chia mare —dice Osare Levi nel ''Mar zocco'*—la "sfortuna teatrale" di Raffaeli). " Sorvoliamo sui 5 atti di Antonio Tavoni. sellaio mantovano, e sul) dramma di Gaetano Marini, che,! nell'ultima scena, fa scrivere da Raffaello morente alla Fornarina : '"Ti ritorno i tuoi capelli. . . me li mostrerai un giorno in Pardiso!"

Ma la profanazione non s'arresta qui: un coreografo oso eomporre sull'argomento un ballo, in 8 quadri, per la ballerina Ama lia Ferraris, rappresentato alla Pergola nel 1853; e sarà stato cer tamente un patetico spettacolo il j vedere una diva della danza, sotto le spoglie del divino pittore, espri mere a un'altra diva "di mezzo carattere'* il proprio amore con i piedi !.... 11 reverendo Magpie inviato al : Congo a sostituire un missionario! defunto, ai accorse che quei negri, la maggior parte cristiani, trascu- j ravano la lettura della Bibbia.
