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 nose8, 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 among 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. The Strategist. ‘Winks—That fellow Dickson is a deep one, Dinks—What has he been doing?

The Tally. “What are these notches in your gun?” asked the flirt, who was visit- {ng the ranch. “They represent men,” replied Cac- tus Sim, “who thought they wuz smarter than I wuz.” “A good idea!

TEA DEADLY FOE OF TYPHOID. Boiling of the Drink Has a Germicidal Effect. It is said on the high authority of an American medical journal that, al- though the Chinese people live in a germ-saturated soil, they are singular ly free from typhoid fever and other diseases of which water is the me dium of communication. This condt- tion is attributed the universal cus tom of copious tea drinking. The tea itself is not held to be the safeguard against the disease, but the boiling of the drink has a germicidal effect which produees sanitary advary tages. And if tea produces any fll Tesults they are not to be considered beside these advantages. The tea leaf is described as form- ing one of the most innocent and at tractive flavorings possible for hot drinks, and the boiled drink {s the foe to the deadly germ. The Old Brother’s Message, One of the venerable brethren of the Billville Circuit delivered this mes- sage recently: “TJt’s no use to strug- gle, if you’ve made up your mind to avail yourself of your privelege of fall- in’ from grace, in the belief that you'll git up agin, an’ shake the dust off, and start over ag’in. Some o’ the dust will git in the grain of your gan ments, and stick there; some of the strength you needed for the journey will be gone, and you'll no more be the Same as you was. What you want to do is to make the struggle land you high and guard against gittin’ dizzy when you reach the hilltop!”—Cht cago American. GIFT BABY FROM AUTO Chauffeur Hands Package to a Woman, Then Off He Spins. A gift baby came into the hands of a poor peasant woman near Loudon, France, in such a sudden way that she has scarcely yet got over her wonder and stupefaction. However, she is pleased on the whole, and will do her best by the tiny creature. She was sitting in front of her cottage on the highway whehn an automobile came along and stopped. The chaffeur got out and handed her a package, asking her to accept it, and saying that she would not regret it. The good woman took it into her bands wonderingly, and wanted to ask some questions, but before a word was out of her mouth the chaffeur had jumped back into his seat, and the motor opened the package and found that it contained a beautiful baby, wrapped up in rich linen, to which four bank notes of $200 were pinned. She adopted the child on the spot. Eagle Kite Fooled Kingfishes, Seven boys entered their miniaturt airships for the annual kite-flying con testt, open to children of the public and parochial schools, which tool place yesterday afternoon in Geneset Valley Park. Interest was lent to the contest by an odd incident, showing that thé birds of the air may be fooled by tht cleverness of man. Aling Brown haé a kite made in imitation of an Ameri can eagle, and when it spread itt wings to the breeze and rode awway into the air it looked like a real “king of the air.” Indeed, so perfect was the imitation that as the beautiful kite soared ovet one of the trees in the park in rising two large kingfishers saw the strang¢ fowl, and, uttering their shrill cry of battle, left the tree and followed the Kite high into the air. They wheeled and circled around their new enemy. but such was their awe of the majesti¢ bird they did not venture to push hos tilities to the actual point of contact This eagle kite took the first prize. Snake in Ireland The other morning, while William Kennedy, Gurteenakilla, was walking through his farm at Tallamore park, he was surprised to see something wriggling in the grass. On closer ob- servation Mr, Kennedy saw that the creature was a snake, which hissed at him as he closed upon it. The reptile made an attempt to get into a neigh- boring ditch, but Mr. Kennedy struck it twice with a black thorn and killed it. A neighbor of Mr. Kennedy’s, who spent a long time in the Southern states of America, gave his opinion that it was a spotted adder of poison- ous variety. It is two feet eight inches Jong and about as thick as an ordinary walking stick, colored dark green on the back with white spots and light pale green underneath, with a beauti- ful orange band at the back of the head. Dog That Catches Fish. Nick Craighead, a Callaway county farmer, has a fine shepherd dog that has made quite a reputation for itself by catching fish in several small streams near his place. The dogwis enabled to see the fish because of the clear water that flows in the streams. He waits on the bank until a fish draws near the surface, and then with a leap and dive into the stream grabs the finny quarry before it has time to swim away. The dog has made such a name for himself that many persons drive to the Craighead farm just to see the animal in his piscatorial act. Aids to Memory. His Wife (at dinner)—John, I wish you would remind me that I am to make out a shopping list this evening. Her Husband—I will my dear, if you will remind me of something.

In a Colorado Town They Destroy Birds’ Nests and Gnaw Through Roofs. Greeley is contemplating organizing a squirrel hunt to rid the city of the hundreds of squirrels which make their home in Lincoln Park and which destroy the eggs of the song birds. Ten years ago Greeley was the home of many linnets, wild canaries, mock- ing birds and robins, writes a corre- spondent of the Denver Republican, but only a few are seen now, and there are none left in the trees in the park because of the depredations of the squirrels. Eight years ago some one brought two pairs of squirrels from the Hast and made houses for them in the park, where they and the progeny became great attractions. They have multi- plied so fast, however, as to overrun the park and extend their nesting places to private grounds. In several cases they have gnawed through the roofs of houses in order to make nests in the garrets. At first it was be- lieved that the English sparrow had driven away the other birds, but in- vestigation proves that not even a sparrow’s nest can be found. The placing of the tin collars from eight to ten inches wide around every tree not in the park was suggested for the protection of the birds, but this will prove no remedy because of the ability of the squirrels to spring from one tree top to another. The talk of exterminating the squirrels has been going on for two years and people say they must go. EQQ8 WITHOUT SHELLS. ae One Way They Are Sent in Russia to Avold Excessive Freight. Russian exporters, to avoid an ex- cessive freight on eggs as well as to avoid 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 6 for the preserved eggs), besides the weight of the shells and the extra freight tariff on eggs. Each 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 chaace, 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. Superstitions About Bables. “You mothers,” said a college girl disdainfully, “have the silliest super- stitions about your babies. For my graduating thesis I am compiling the baby superstitions of the world’s mothers. They’re the most ludicrous things. Listen: “In Russia they think a baby and a kitten can’t thrive in the same house. They kill the kitten as soon as the baby comes. “In Spain they won't let a baby un- der three see its reflection in a mirror. Otherwise they think it will grow up vain, proud and cruel. “In Roumania babies will wear blue ribbons around the left ankle to ward off evil spirits. “In Hungary they think that if you dress a girl baby in red she will turn out bad. “In India it is good luck for a baby to fall out of bed. “Trish babies keep strands of wom- en’s hair in their cradles to protect them from sicknes: Wolves Plentiful in Kansas. The farmers of this county, says the Cottonwood Falls correspondent of the Kansas City Times, say there are more wolves in the country this sea- son than there have been before for years, and it is no uncommon occur- rence to run across a family of half a dozen young coyotes while on a drive through the pasture country. Just now they are certainly making times prosperous for some of the farmers. The other day one man brought in nineteen wolf scalps, and another,.one who had dug out four dens of young ones, brought twenty- four scalps, which they turned in to the county clerk’s office for $1 apiece bounty money, ALMOST A DUEL. Carducol, the Poet, Avoided One by Revealing Himself. Carducci, the great Italian poet, 2ame 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. Conyersation 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.” “q2” “You!” “gir!” “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 genl- I find You don’t know GLin~ ENING. It’s a Hair-Raising Experience in More Ways Than One. Gliddening as a cure for balness has not as yet received the indorse- ment of the medical fraternity or the scalp specialists, but so far as testi monials go, sa the Motor World, it has the strongest kind of praises from J. W. McGorray, a well-known Cleve- land undertaker, who was a passen ger in the last tour. While McGorray did not encounter any hair-raising experiences in the popular sense, he found soon after he started that a modest but unmistaka- ble crop of fuzz was developing on his head, which had for many years been garnished with the hirsute luxurious- ness of a china egg. By the time he reached Chicago his hat did not fit any more on account of the new hair, and upon his arrival in New York he had to have a hair cut. “} have thrown my wig away,” he wrote his brother, Sheriff McGorray of Cleveland. The latter has planned a theater party to celebrate the new crop when its owner returns home. And it will be the first time in a great many years that Undertaker McGorray has not sat in the baldheaded row. He plans to study chemistry of exhaust motor gases to discover the secret of bis transformattion. Legend of !ndian Lake. One of the features of Jeypure in India is the wonderful Sambur salt lake, concerning which there is a ou- tlous legend. The story runs that an old fakir long ago told one of the rajahs that, if he wanted to be rich, he should ride a horse as far as he could go, without once looking back, and the land as far as he could travel would become a field of silver, always provided he did not turn. He rode for thirty miles and then, curiousity over- coming him, he looked back, with the result that, instead of the promised field of silver he found a lake of salt. Ruled Through Superstition. Queen Niawingi, a dusky central African potentate, now decrepit and discredited, is said to have been the last ruler of Mpororo. She once po ssessed much influence, partly due to superstitious fear. She claimed the power of intercourse with the spirit world, and surrounded herself with much mystery. She I'ved completely. hidden in a hut, from which she was supposed never to emerge. When ap proached for any purpose, the replies to questions were given in a high, squeaky voice, intended to be accept ed as the voices of spirits. Relics of Extinct Birds. Funk island, off the coast of New- foundland, used to afford shelter every. year at breeding time to countless numbers of natatory birds, among them being the white booby (sula bas- sana). These birds have met with the same fate as the great auk. They are extinet. Now their eggs are great tarities, and would fetch large sums but there are none in the market Some specimens are on view at the Smithsonian institution and at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; they range in value from $500 to $750 apiece. An Ohio Idea, Johns Hopkins University of Balti- more, the first institution of learning in this country to adopt the true uni- versity plan of all around education, has decided to admit women on even terms with men. This is a working back eastward of an idea in education which originated in Ohfo. Oberlin and Antioch col- leges, the latter under the presidency of Horace Mann, were the first insti- tutions of collegiate rank to admit women and to make co-education a principle. Many colleges but few uni- versities have followed. Hard Luck. The Lady—But why have you left your other positions so often?
