Their Fine Eyes and Features and In- telligent Expression. The beauty of Indian women is one of the charms of Mexico. In the capital, where the Indian has degenerated by contact with the whites, by extreme poverty and menial service, it is less to be remarked than in the smaller towns and in the coun- try. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Fine eyes are uni- versal and, what one hardly expects, fine features, according to Caucasian standards; broad brows, straight noses, well formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The ex pression is very generally intelligent and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and refinement of the countenance, One frequently sees types amiong the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient casts, an Egyp- tian priest of royal blood, » Roman centurion, an Aztec emperor. The women are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best in carriage, in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. In the North the “noble red man” has chiefly been found in our poetry and romance. At their highest they possessed only the savage virtues. Here in mid-Mexico, even after four centuries of subjection, the Indian is plainly of better make, of higher eth- nic development, of infinitely greater possibilities. It is a far cry from the Apache to. the Aztec. ehbhiiiehsidealalcneNeataiains chiginaineabeusneneiaaebeaiiusiaaiaia wie ed in our store contains a num- ber of silver dollars.

The consumption of beer in France oas increased by more than 40 per rent during the last five years. In 1906 it reached the imposing total of 317,- 940,000 gallons. It does not appear that the increas- 3d use of beer has diminished in the slightest degree the consumption of wine and cider. But Consul Manson ts quoted in Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit Circular as saying that, as the con- sumption of beer increases, that of alcohol, especially in the perilous torm of absinthe, is slowly but steadily de- oreasing. The statistics of 1904 show that dur- ing that year the amount of absinthe sold for drinking purposes in France fell off more than 130,000 gallons, or 2.8 per cent. This is not a sweeping or conclusive reform, but statistics seem to show that the maximum danger point has been passed. Much of the beer is imported (or purports to be so) from Pilsen and Munich, though most of the leading breweries in other German cities have Paris agencies and distribute their beer to retailers. This entails high prices to consumers, as_ there is a heavy import duty. Under the stim- ulus of this protection the brewery in- dustry of France has developed rapid- ly both in respect to quantity and quality of the product. ALMOST A DUEL. Carducel, the Poet, Avoided One by Revealing Himself. Carducci, the great Italian poet, zame near having a duel one day. He possessed a fine spirit of contradiction and had the characteristics of a fight- er. Once while traveling in Lombardy ae was in a railway compartment with an army officer, who did not recognize him. Conversation turned upon the latest literary productions. They spoke of a poem by the author of “Odes Barberes,” which had just ap- peared. “This Carducci,” exclaimed the of- ficer, with enthusiasm, “is a superb genius, the greatest since Dante, the equal of Dante himself.” “Humph!” said the other. us? That’s too much to say. him mediocre.” “Mediocre, sir? anything about it.” “Oh, you are incapable of judging.” «yor cate “Sir!” “gir!” The officer handed his card to the other disputant. The other smiled. “There’s mine.” And on it was the name “Giosue Carducci, professor at the University of Bologna.” The officer, removing his hat, polite. ly bowed. “A geni- I find You don’t know EGGS WITHOUT SHELLS. One Way They Are Sent in Russia to Avoid Excessive Freight. Russian exporters, to avoid an ex- cessive freight on eggs as well as to avold loss from breakage and from spoiling by heat, ship them without the shell, i. e., broken and the con- tents put up in air-tight block tin box- es, with or without salt, according to the taste of the customer. Each box contains several eggs and is sold by weight, the size running from half a kilogram up to a pud (some sixteen kilograms). The price of the latter is 5 rubles. For use in cooking and for a limited time these tinned or preserved eggs seem to an- swer very well; that is, on the conti- nent, for England doesn’t take kindly to them. London, for instance, which buys large quantities of Russian eggs, pays 8 rubles a pud for them (against 5 for the preserved eggs), besides the weight of the shells and the extra freight tariff on eggs. Bach block tin box of “conserved” eggs, whether of half kilo (a kilo is a little more than two pounds) or two pud size, must bear the date and hour of its closing, thus guarding against getting stale eggs. The amount of eggs put up in boxes and annually ex- ported is enormous and constantly growing. THE.ETERNAL RECOMPENSE. A Little Comparison Who Makes. the School Room Bright. The open door of theschool struck terror to your vacation loving soul. It seemed as if all joy had gone forever. But you forgot all that when your eyes strayed across the room. Prim, berib- boned heads bent with studious affec tation over books. Demure eyes stole sidewise glances in your direction. You regarded them impersonally until there came the one thrilling, fleeting flash of brown eyes for which you had been waiting. Blushing deeply, you turned to lose yourself in life’s serious business. On your way home, by the merest chance, you found. your footsteps beat- ing slow cadence with hers. Awk- wardly you tried to conceal the delight of this almost forgotten joy, Once more life was bright with their irri- descent glamour of youth. The call of the river was lost among the dim, unregretted memories of the past. School—ah, school was not so bad, after all. Aids to Mainony.
