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.

Free Board.
A restaurant in Yuma, Ariz., dis
plays a sign that reads: "Free board
every day the sun doesn't shine." 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

The Candle In History.
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.

that would make her a wonder at fili
j bustering."

with a little slack lime.

Invisible Airplane Wings.
Wings of cellulose acetate, helnc
transparent, make an airplane invisi
ble at the height of a few thousand
feet, also increasing the operator's
field of vision. Sheets one one-hun- )
dredth-inch thick are about as strong
as the ordinary wing cover, and the
weight of nine ounces to the square I
yard is but slightly greater. The rap
id spread of a tear when started is a ■
disadvantage that may be overcome
with a re-enforcing of loosely woven
6ilk.
Not Always Happy.
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!

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

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. The term "cultivation" is now
much more inclusive. It inpludes <ele
mentary knowledge of the
and it ranks high the subjects of his
tory, government and economics.—
Charles W. Eliot, in Atlantic.
Appropriate Look.
Robert had lost his little pet dog an "
I felt bad about it. His father told him
poor little Fldo must be tlead or he
i would return home. His mother sent
him on an errand, when he met a wom

him if he was ill, as he had little to
say "Oh. no," he said, "but my little
dog Is dead and I am wearing a black
look."

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

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!"
Fn certo Marucchi ha avuto la
sciagurata idea di scrivere un \
"Raffaello'' per educandati. . . .
