The Natives Still Sacrifice Animals te Their Favorite Gods. It may not be as apparent, but as a matter of fact idolatry has a strong a hold on the natives of the Mexican hot lands as when Cortes and bis sol- diers marched through them on their way to Honduras 400 years ago. In the state of Oaxaca, in which is Tehuantepec, there is near every vil- lage some secluded spot—be it a cave, the top of a mountain or a forest ens circled pool—whither the people clam« destinely repair in order to make sac- rifices to their gods.. The faverite sac- rifice is a goat, a turkey or other fowl, the head of which is cut off and buried, while the soil and the other offerings, consisting of dishes of food and a gourd filled with an intoxicating drink, are sprinkled with the blood. The place where these sacrifices are made determines their effect. If a Tehuana bears a grudge against a neighbor he will bury the head of a chicken or the bones of a dog at dead of night out- side of his victim’s house, though, on the other hand, if the ceremony is per- formed within it can bring nothing but good luck. The natives of the isthmus firmly believe that every child at birth be- comes intimately connected with some beast of the jungle, and the grownup man will never hurt that particular kind of animal. If the apimal dies, the child dies too. The question is to determine just what kind of an animal it is, and in order to reassure him- self the father sprinkles ashes or dust on the ground outside the house at the ‘child’s birth and watches for a spoor.—Everybody’s Magazine, Improving. Americans. “Nothing 'is fized but the certainty of change,” said Goethe, and we know that the future American will repre- sent a change. He may be taller or shorter or thinner or fatter than the American of today, but there is noth- ing in the existing state of soclety— and we use society In its broad sense— to indicate that he will not be better in many ways. ' Confidence in'this 18 based largely on the evident determi- nation of the' American of today to leave our institutions and our ldeals better than he found them. Every American, ' native or foreign born, wants his children to have a better ed- ucation than it was possible for bim to secure. He wants to have his chil- dren live in a community of higher standards and ideals than he has; he wants betterment in local, state and national conditions, and the result of the want will be improvement and a demand by his children for still great-{| er lmpmvemeut.—fit. Paul Ploneer Press. The Uplift Movement. When. he left tne house Saturday morning Burton yanked at the door as| if he ‘would pull it off its hinges. ‘When' he couldn’t open it he started tc¢ grumble until his’ wife came to his as- sistance! “What'n blue blazes is the matter with' this door?” he grumbled, giving it another powerful yank' without be-} ing able to open it. “The trouble with you, John, dear,”{ the wife ventured, *is that you ere al- ways’ down on everything—down in the mouth, down on the .world. Let me try it.” ! ‘With a gentle tug upward on the knob she easily opened the door. i Jehn was about to sputter out a sar- castici remark when the ‘force of his wife’s logic sank in his thick skull. “I get it!” he exclaimed. I get the lgsson.” . That afternoon when his wife visit- ed his office she saw over his desk a| little motto with the words; “Me For the Uplift.”—Youngstown Telegram.
