There Is u very curious point connected wllh the more pronounced animal faces namely , thosu lu charge of animals grow to bo Ilko them. Thus , says the Pull Mall Gazette , a hostler In charge of tramway horses has himself u line Roman-nosed horse type of head , growing day by day moro Ilko his horses. Men In charge of catllo on thu farm become essentially bovlno , and In Shropshire It has often been remarked that thu sheep breeders resemble their own rams. I cannot explain these singularities , which , however , are wholly or partly true. The sheep type of man Is not Indicative .U ' of great IntelltgnTlcc , and It Is usually found In remote agricultural districts.

The great fntcrest felt by Iho music-lovers of this community In the work of this department of the Woman's clul was manifested by u largo and clilhuslastl audience In attendance. The program fo the afternoon \\asj of the usual excellence ! Mrs. Charles Hull read n very nno paper 01 the "Epoch of the Netherlands , " lllustr.tlei by the singing of Palcstrlnn's Mlssa ami Ihe Improperhi , by a quartet composed of Mrs Cudahy , Mrs. Rogers , Captain Klnzle nm Mr. Durktoy , who sang the old mnostro's music more beautifully , doubtless , .than I over was his good fortune to hear It sung. Miss Julia Knight's paper on "Martli Luther and the Music of the Reformation' showed much research , und with Us gleams of wit and glints of poetry was altogether charming. The Illustrations wero. "Uln Fcste Burgh , " written by Martin Luther and sung by Mrs. Squires , Mrs. Ely. Mr Dan H. Wheeler. Jr. . nnd Mr. Abbott will much spirit. "The Cradle Song , " also by Luther , was sung by Miss Kittle Hobble In such a graceful , pleasing manner , that she received n hearty encore. Miss Edltl James' rendition of the second movement of Schubert's souuto , op. 53 , met with mucl favor , and later on her playing of the beauti ful Mendelssohn's concerto In D minor awakened such enthusiasm that an encore was persistently demanded. She finally con sented , playing ' " ' Grelg's "Danse Caprice. Miss Clara Hawley accompanied Miss James with grace and proficiency. The pro gram was concluded by the singing of "Jesu del Vlvl. " ono of Verdi's melodic gems , by Mrs. Cudahy , Captain Klnzlo and Mr. Durk- ley. The excellence of the work of these artists leaves nothing to bo desired , and they were the recipients of much applause. In spite of ( ho stqrmy wcalhcr an audience that taxed the capacity of Trinity cathedral assembled there Thursday night to llslen lo Sir John Stalner's beautiful cantata of the "Crucifixion" rendered by the Justly cele brated choir of the cathedral under Mrs. Gallon's direction. Right well were they repaid for coming , for the beautiful and IKilhclIc story was told In a way that brought tears to many eyes. Composers who write on this subject seem to possess the faculty of wedding the words and music very closely together , making them appear almost Inseparable. This Is particularly a feature of the "Crucifixion , " and also of "The Story of the Cross , " which was given by this choir last year with such success. The "Crucifixion" compares favor ably wllh "The Slory of Iho Cross. " lacking perhaps In varlcly of choral effects , but excelling greatly-lh'solo work , which is writ ten for tenor ' nnil bass 'only. It Is n 'well known fact that the choir of Trinity always Jlngs well , but on Thursday evening they sednred to be particularly im bued with the sentiment of the words and music. It seemedto affect all , soloists and chorus alike , and they sang as though the story they werq telling was bolus enacted before their eyes , . Messrs. Wllklns.find Lombard , upon whom rests the strong futures of the cantata , were In fine voice and it ng with good effect. In fact the cantata re ts upon the shoulders of the tenor and basy , with the exception of a few recitative " ? ; for bass sung by Mr. Mc- Cune. Th"e duet tor .tenor and bass was particularly welldone , , > vhlle the male chorus work was a strqng | fealure of the perform ance.

Ho tins lived with the Indians us well as the natives of Arizona nnd Now Mexico In pursuing his Investigations , niul Is thoroughly conversant , with the nubjects trcntcil. Of New Mexico he writes : Sun , silence and adobe that Is Now Mexico In three words. If a fourth wore to bo added. It need be only lo clinch the thrci1. It Is the great American mystery the national rtlp Van Winkle the United States which Is not I'nlted States. Here Is the land of "poco ticmpo" the homo of "Pretty Soon" of New Spain Is better than the .Now ! Now ! " of the haggard states. The opiate sun soothes to rest , the abode Is made to lean against , the hush of day-Ions neon would not be broken. Lot us not hasten manana will do. Hotter still , pasado mamma. Now .Mexico Is the anomaly of the republic. It Is a century older In Kuropcan civilization limn the rest , ami several centuries older still In a happier Bcml-clvlllzatlon of Its own. it had Its llttlt ! walled cities of ntuno before Columbus had iraiidparenls-to-be ; ; nnd It has them yet. The most Incredible pioneering the world has over seen overran It with the zeal of a prairie lire 350 years ago ; and the embers of that unparalleled bla/o of exploration are not iniltn dead today. I ho most superhuman marches , the most awful privations , the most devoto.l heroism the most unsleeping vigilance , wrested this bare , brown land to the world ; nnd having wrested It. went to sleep. The winning was the wakcfullest In history the after-nap eternal. It never has wakened olio does not know that It ever can. Nature herself Hoes little but sleep here. A few semi- bustling American towns wart the territorial map. It Is pockmarked with cattle ranches and mines , where experience has wielded his costly birch over millionaire pupils from the cast and from abroad. Dut the virus never reached the blood the pits arc only skin deep. The Saxon excrescences are already asleep , too. The cowboy Is a broken Idol. He no longer "shoots up the town , " nor rid dles heels reliiclant for the dance. Ills day Is done ; and so Is that of the argonaut. They both are with us. but their lids arc heavy. And around them In New Spain again , dreamy as ever after their rude but short lived nudging. The sheep which feed Now Mexico doze again on the mesas , no longer routed by their long-horned foes ; and wheru sheep are , Is rest. The brown or gray adobe hamlets of the descendants of those fiery souls who wreaked here a commonwealth be fore the Saxon fairly knew there was a new world ; tha strange terraced towns of the aboriginal pioneers who otit-Spanlardcd the Spaniards by unknown centuries ; the scant leaven of Incongruous American brick all are under the spell. And the abrupt moun tains , the echoing , rock-walled canons , the sunburnt mesas , the streams bankrupt by their own shylock sands , the gaunt , brown , treeless plains , the ardent sky , all harmon izes with unearthly unanimity. SUN'S VKRY OWN CORNER. "Picturesque" Is a tame word for It. It Is a picture , a romance , a dream , all In one. It Is our one corner that is the sun's vnry ow.li . , Here ho has had his way. and no dis crepancy mars his work. It Is a land of quaint , swart faces , of Oriental dress and unspoiled speech ; a land where dlstanca is lost und the eye Is a liar ; a land of Ineffable lights and sudden shadows ; of polytheism and superstition , where the rattlesnake Is u domlgod and the cigarette a means of grace , and where Christians mangle and crucify themselves the heart of Africa beating against the ribs of the Rockies. There arc thrco typical races In New Mexico now for Itwould be wrong to include the 10 per cent "American" Interpolation as a type. With them I have nothing to do. They are po tential , but not picturesque. Besides the.ni and around them are the real uuctothonos. a quaint ethnologic trio. First , the 9,000 Pueblo Indians peaceful , fixed , house- Owclllng and home-loving tillers of the soil ; good Catholics , In the churches Ihey have bullded with a patience Infinite as that of the pyramids ; good pagans every where else. Then the 10,000 Navajo Indians those other 10,000 nre In Arizona sullen , nomad , horso-Iovlug , horse-stealing , horao- Ivlng vagrants of the saddle ; pagans first , last and all the tlino , and Inventors of the noher-ln-law : Joke gray centuries before toe civilized world awoke to. It. Last of all , the Mexicans ; In-bred and Isolation-shrunken desondants of the Castlllan world-dialers ; Ivlng almost as much against the house 03 n It ; Igno a'nt as slaves , and more courteous than kings ; poor as Lazarus , and more hos- ) itablc than Croesus ; Catholics from A to Izzard , except when they take occasion to > o penitents and oven then lighting to irlng their matted scourges and bloody crosses Into the church which bars its doors to them. The Navajos have neither houses lor towns ; Uio Pueblos havn nineteen com- lact little "cities , " and the Mexicans several mndrud villages , a part of which arn shared > y the Invader. The few towns of undiluted gringo hardly count In summing up the ter ritory of 300 by100 miles. UNIVERSALITY TUB FEATURE. If New Mexico lacks the concentration of latural plcturesquoness to bo found else- vhere. It makes up In universality. There are almost no waterfalls , and not a river worthy of the name. Canons aru rare , .rfTid . nferlor to those of Colorado and the farther outhwcst. The mountains are largely sky ward miles of tmvaga rock , and forests are far between. Hut every landscape Is char acteristic and even beautiful with a weird , unearthly beauty , treacherous as the flowers , of the cacti. Most of New Mexico ice , most of the year , Is an Indescrib able harmony In browns and grays , over which the enchanted light of Its blue Rides casts an eternal spell. Its very rocks are unique only Arizona shares those astound ing freaks of form and color carved by the scant rains and more liberal winds on Im memorial centuries , and towering' across ) the bare land like the milestones of forgot ten giants. The line of huge buttu * of blood-red sandstone , which stretches from Mount San Mutco to the Little Colorado , Including the "Navajo Church" and n. thousand minor wonders , Is typically New Mexican. The Navajo Rusorvatlon which ' lies part In this territory and part In Arizona Is remarkably picturesque through out , with Its broad plains hciir-ied by giant mosaa split with wild canons. So are the regions about Jumez , Cochlll , Taos , Santa Fu. Acoma , and a fuw others. The most unique , pictures In New Mexico are to bn found among It * unique pueblos.

The cnso of Million aire William Henry King , who Ims been con fined In the McLean asylum for the Insane since 1S70 nnd who is petitioning the court for liberty , was resumed yesterday before Judge Aldrlch In the United Slates circuit court.

In their answer to the return of the oin- clals to the writ of. habeas corpus recently served on them , commanding them to pro duce the body of the millionaire In court , to which they replied that ho was In a mental and physical condition which precludes his appearance , counsel for King denied that the petitioner was violently Insane , and they nlno denied that King Is legally held under the laws of Massachusetts. The courl adjourned until next Tuesday , and meantime the various attorneys will busy themselves In Rhode Island and New York accumulating evidence to decide who shall have the custody of the old man and his great wealth.
