true in nearly every detail to-day. The
language resembles the Chinese. So an
ardent archaologist who visited the city
a year ago says. Some OF the minor
customs correspond to those of the Chi
nese. The women are of the true Celes-
tial type-almond eyes, protuberant
bodies, little feet, etc. They dress then
hair and themselves in Chinese fashion.
Their religion is barbarously magnificent.
Montezuma is their deity. His coming is
looked for at sunrise each day. Immor-
tality is part of their creed. The priests
have Neutrality-suspicious. robes which
have been used for unnumbered years.
The ceremonies of worship are formal
and pompous The morality of this
strange people, as far at least as foreign
ers are concerned, is irreproachable. 1t
is probable that they keep record OF
events by means of tying peculiar knots
in long cords. This, if true, seems
to establish some kinship or re-
mote mountaineering between them and
the Aztecs. Their government is con-
servative republic. Power is vested in
council of thirteen caciques. Six OF
them are selected for life. Old men are
generally chosen, in order that their
terms of office may not be inordinately
long The remaining seven are elected
from time to time. One of them is the
Executive. Another is a sort of Vice
President There is War-Chief, Chief
of Police, etc. These seven caciques are
usually young men. They serve but a
few months. Suffrage is universal. 1t
is scarcely necessary to supplement these
facts with the statement that these dwell
ers in towns are quite far advanced in
civilization. On this point, one fact
speaks volumes Woman is not beast
of burden among them, as she is with all
Indian tribes. She is held In high respect.
Her tasks are confined 10 those of house
keeping.
The written records which we have
mentioned show that this isolated COM
munity has maintained its traditions I'M
broken for at least three and-a-half CEN
turtles It's history, carefully studied,
may prove clew to the problem of the
aboriginal Americans. The mound-build-
ers of the North and the clty-builders of
the South may be represented in the

na.-ChScago Tribune.

He had none, however, and while drink

The man thinks his time has been all Oc-

sunrise; he quit work at five O'Clock,
smoked a cigar after dinner, and spent
two hours ON the street talking nonsense
with an idler.
off / had leisure" said merchant, {" I
would pay more attention to my accounts
and try and collect my bills more
promptly" The chance is, my friend, if
you had leisure you would probably pay
less attention to the matter than you do
now The thing lacking with hundreds
of farmers who till the soil is not more
leisure, but more resolution-the spirit to
do, to do now. If the farmer who sees
his fence in poor condition would only
act at once, how much might be saved?
1t would prevent breachy cattle creating
quarrels among neighbors that in many
cases terminate in lawsuits, which take
nearly all they are both worth to pay the
lawyers.
The fact is, farmers and mechanics have
more leisure than they are aware of for
study and improvement of their minds.

The Dead-AnimaI Man.

"CAP'EN, any dead dogs on the slate?"
The speaker was a curious-looking,
bow-legged old colored man who stood
just inside the door of the police office
yesterday afternoon, bowling and scrap
ing and holding battered old hat in one
hand, while he clawed at his iron gray
wool with the other. A Union and amer
jc0n reporter who happened to be in the
office pricked up his ears. He had heard
good deal about political slates," and
it occurred to him that the venerable
colored man had intended to ask whether
there were any "dead ducks" on any of
the numerous political states of which
so much has been said and written recent
ly. But this was not the case, as demon
strated by Capt. Yater taking down a
slate which hung near the door, and
reading aloud therefrom a request that
Robert Johnson call at certain number
on Market street and remove a dead
dog.
"And are you Robert Johnson-the
chap who removes dead carcasses from
the streets and alleys of the city," in
quired the reporter.

Swimming the Seine.

Of all the things in the world which
appear utterly worthless are soap-suds.
Mr.. Simmonds takes differentview. He
tells us that soap-suds as stimulant
of vegetable life cannot be too highly
appreciated" We cannot go into his
arguments on the great value of soap
suds, and it is sufficient to say that when
poured out as a manure they are of pro-
digious efficacy. The French, who are
up to everything in the chemical line,
have taken a proper view of the soap
suds. Whether from private dwellings
in Paris or from the barges of the
blanchasseuses, the Seine must have good
deal of soap floating about it in waste
full kind of way, to say nothing of the
greasy pollution from dead dogs and cats
There was fortune if properly looked
after. An enterprising firm, fortified by
the authority of the Project, determined
to begin system of Swimming the Seine.
You would imagine it was nonsensical
idea. Quite mistake. By uniting the
skimmings of the river with the offal
from hospitals the firm is able, by the aid
OF chemistry, steam and cookery, to fatten
5000 pigs and to produce annually $780,
GOO pounds of soap.-Chanabers' Jour7,I

Where pen is not used for founda-

other, and others against these until a
circle is formed sloping from center to
circumference, each row half the length
of sheaf further out than the one be-
fore it. Garry out the foundation in this
way until it is of the desired size, and
then at the outside lay a double row of
bundles and press them down well. The
foundation being now prepared, build
upon it by laying the tiers of sheaves
from the outside toward the center, each
row tapping butts to bands Gradually
lay out until the stack has attained the
height desired-that is, let each row of
bundle butts project over trifie further
than the one beneath, so that the circum-
ference of the stack will gradually in
crease in size as it goes up to halfway
point, and then gradually draw it in until
the top is reached Caution must be
used not to make the stack too flaring; it
is only necessary to make difference in
the circumference of the base and center
to obtain the desired object, that of pro-
lection against heavy Fain-storms When
building the stack, always keep the Gen.
ter little the highest, and we'll tread

having either grain or hay keep we'll
The outer surface, by being less compact,
will settle little more than the center,
and consequently protect the whole from
damage by not retaining moisture We
have found it a good plan to let one tier
of bundles project some four inches at
the point where it is decided to begin
drawing in for the top; this furnishes
what may be termed caves. If the stack
is to stand an indefinite time before
threshing, it will pay to give considera-
BILE attention to thatching the top; at all
events it should have topping out of
bog grass or poor hay.-Oh5o Farmer.

How to Stack Grain.

WHERE there is barn room it is always
best to put grain crops under roof, but
where they have to be stacked out from
necessity the work should be done in a
careful manner The better way, under
most circumstances, is to stack at the
barn, then the grain is near the granary
when it leaves the machine, and the
straw may be saved where it is needed
for feeding, bedding and manure.

lowing rules, adopted from our own ex-
perience, will be found, perhaps, of
