SOME MEXICAN CUSTOMS.-In all the
toy shops and in hundreds of booths erect
I'd temporarily throughout the city are
toys emblematic Of death. There are
skulls in candy, paste and wax; there are
skeletons of cardinals, bishops, monks,
nuns, soldiers, negroes, people of all ma
tioualities. Tho heads and faces of the
churchmcn are usually carved out OF large
dried peas. hickory nuts. filberts or wal
nuts; the cardinals hat is perhaps made
out of bit of bright red ribbon or flannel !;
the bishops mitre and vcstment of gold
paper, and the cowls of the monks and
wells of the nuns of gray and white mus
lin. All the heads and bones of these
skeletons are strung together with such
delicate wires that the slightest breeze
makes them seem to be hobbing to us as
we pass.
The Court of Death " is to be found
in all sizes and made of various materials.
Then there are tombstsnes, monuments
and little cemeteries made of tin, wood or
stucco, all painted black and gray.
The whole city represents u charncl-
house or catacomb in miniature; yet the
effect is not saddening (rather disgusting),
grim death is only buresqued.
Excepting those who have been recently
stricken by the loss of dear ones, the only
serious people one is apt to meet on the
" Day of the Dead are the Indians, who
pour into the city from all the neighboring
villages and hamlets to sell their fruits,
flowers and other products. These Azecs
always look depressed or Indifferent, one
hears no laughter among them, even their
dances are of a slow. serious character;
Notwithstanding the pictures often given
in books of travel, the real Indians do not
dance the " fandango," that is purely
Spanish. In their very songs there is an
undertone of sadness that reminds one of
the lament of n conquered nation.
On this anniversary many of the old In
dian servants adorn their rooms with flow
ers and place on the table u bottle OF wine
and a loaf of bread, leaving the doors or
windows open that the spirits of their de-
ceased relatives may enter at midnight to
rcfresh themselves. l assure you the wine
and bread often disappear, but would not
mar the satisfaction of the aged people by
the slightest intimation that the unbeliev-
ing young coachmen or walters had pro-
famed the " table of the dead"
Last year two little Mexican children

guessed once more.
"Ah, hap said the brakeman, a she is

close to the river, but is all steel rail and
rock ballast, single track all the way and
not side track from the round house to

tion and there isn't AN engine in the shops
that can pull Il pound or run II mile with
less than two guages. But it runs through
n lovely country; these river roads always
do; river on one side and hills on the
other. and it's a steady climb up the grade
all the way till the run ends where the
foun:ainhead of the river begins. Yes.

JOHN MILTON AND HIS DAUGHTERS.- -
Surely it is his simplicity alone that Car
excuse his conduct TO his daughters. Mil
tons Oriental views of the function Of
women led him not only to neglect, but t.
positively prevent the education of his
daughters. They were sent to no schoo
at all. but were handed over to a school
mistress in the house. He would not allow
them to learn any language. sayiny with a
sneer, that for Il woman one tongue was
enough" The Nemesis, however, that
follows selfish sacrifice of others is so sure
of stroke that there needs no future pun
ishmcnt to adjust the balance. The time
came, when Milton would have given
worlds that his daughters had learned the
tongues. He was blind and could only
get Mt his precious books-could only give
expression to his precious verses-through
the eyes and hands of others. Whose
hands and whose eyes so proper Tor this
as his daughters? He proceeded to train
them to read TO him. parrot-like, in five or
six languages. which he Uhe schoolmaster)
could at one time have easily taught them
but Of which they could not now under
stand a word. He turned his daughters
into .e ding machines. 1t is appalling to
think of such task. That Mary should
revolt, and at last, after repeated contests
with her taskmsster, learn to hate her faith
er-that she should, when some one spoke
in her presence of her fathers approach
ing marriage, make the dreadful speech
that " it was no news to hear of his we'd
ding, but if she could hear Of his death,
that were something us unutterably
painful but not surprising g.-Atbe"@"m

A PUZZLED PARsoN An old gentleman

road days. The journey was not altogeth-
er safe one, and he WAS not reassured by
number of rifles deposited in the coach
and neryously asked for what they were.
Perhaps you'll find out before you get
to Divide" was the cheering reply.
Among the passengers was q particular

cartridges, and clearly road agent or

You irrigale?"
If you mean drink, sir, do not"
:" DO you object, stranger, to our irriga-
ting?"
mo sir" And they drank according

After u further distance had been trav-

" Stranger, do you fumigate?"
If you mean smoke, sir. do not"
" Do you object stranger, to our fum-
gatingP"
/" No, sir" And they proceeded to
smoke.
At tho dining place, when our friend

Who paid it?
" That man." pointing 10 the supposed

had not made mistake, replied, " Not at

THE TELEPHoNE.-This is II question
frequently asked, but we believe has no
yet been definitely settled The Longest
distance that we have seen mentioned is
given in the item below. namely. two
thousand miles. But perhaps Mr.. Edison
has had more extended experiences. II
so we should be glad if he would let our
readers know.
An exchange states that Mr.. Robert A.
Packer, superintendent of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, is at present hunting with {,
party of gentlemen in Nebraska. A few
days ago he for two hours conversed
pleasantly with his wife and friends at
Sayre, Pa, his brother ut Mauch Chunk,
Pa, and friends along the line. The
medium was tho railroad and western
union telegraph wires and Edison
telephone. At the Office in Bethlehem,
Pa, connection was made with the Easton
and Amboy wire, and at Perth Amboy
with western union wire, md thence to
Chicago and North Bend, Nebraska
where the party are. The distance was
about two thousand miles, and every
whisper was audible.

AVOID UNNECESSARY ANXIETY. Hardly
week passes within which there is not
the announcement of the sudden death of
some prominent man, which is attributed
to business troubles, TO depression and
anxiety, or to overwork. An all-important
practical lesson should be deduccd from
these numerous, sudden and untimely
deaths. They really result frem unncces-
sary anxiety, because it might be avoided
by care beforehand. Much Of the business
trouble, which racks and tortures so many
men, could easily be stunned by better
maturcd plans of business. 1t arises from
habitually rushing ahead, without reflection
where one is coming out One day of
thought and five of work is better than
six days of work; and one day of re-
Election belorehsnd, wonld often save
many long and dreary days of sorrow
afterward. Think before you enter
upon new plan, of all the chances of
mishap, and how to make success certain.
No chances Of profit compensate for the
heavy load of care which many promi-
nent man carries and tries to conceal from
other eyes. If you would live long. il
you would enjoy anything of the sunshine
and flowers of life, think beforehand and
avoid us far as possible all sources of un-
necessary anxiety.

ALL ABOUT PENNIEs.-Pcnnies are
scarce, an / the mint cannot turn them out
fast enough to supply the demand. Coins
Of this denomination are turned out only
at the United States mint in this city; and
from here the whole country is supplied.
The penny is most important factor in
the commerce of the country, much more
than most people imagine. The mint is
six weeks behind its orders for the supply
of these small coins, which is in part ow-
ing to the fact that all the available ma
chinery is being used for other purposes,
and onl y small part can be put to pen
ny making.
Where do all the pennies go?" asked
reporter of mint official.
"Well, the horse Car companies take n
good part of the supply, but we limit each
company to twenty dollars worth per
day. Then they are obliged to patch out
with three cent pieces, of which they also
secure large quantities. But the mer-
chants make the heaviest demands upon
us, the great retail dry goods houses taking
all they can get and then crying for more. "
Where are pennies not uScd?" ques-
toned the reporter.
"Well, there is no part Of the United
States, hardly, where they are not used,'
was the reply; "but there are sections
where they are strangers, and AS rare as
gold dollars are here. In the south the
penny is unknown, the smallest coin being
a iive-cent piece. Recently, however,
there has been some demand for them
from merchants in Georgia and Alabama.
In the far west there is but little call for
the penny, but when one gets to st. Louis
or east OF that point, then the penny be-
comes familiar friend. Wherever there
are six-ccnt fares on the street cars there
is demand from that city for pennies
Now, Louisville seldom, if ever, calls npon
for the one-cent piece. New York con-
sumes big lot. and so do the eastern
states. The two cent piece was good
help to us for time, but none of them
have been coined for ten years, and all
that are sent in and rodoon,o cd nro rcouinud
into one-cent pieces.
"It is a somewhat remarkable thing,
but such is the fact" continued the Off
cial, that competition in trade induces
and increases the demand for pennies.
Whenever trade is brskest, then the pen
ny is needed most-that is, retail trade.
What the banks take from us, although
large, does not fluctuate like the calls from
the tradesmen. The eastern states are
The great penny centres. and 1t is only as
the population of the west increases that it
wants pennies. The five cent piece is the
standard coin in the west, but the penny
is making inroads on it, and great ones,

of civilizing savages. A number of tribes
attended, and displayed articles of home

broidery, lace work, and blankets. Many
of the Indians had their photographs
taken, and showed childish delight in
looking at their faces. Others, however,
could not be persuaded to 60 near the

to bear upon him. But when the prepared

lifted, he leaped to his feet with a bound
and attempted to leave the tent All at
tempts to reason with him failed. At last
a photograph of Cheyenne, taken some
years ago, was shown him. He looked nj
it a moment, then went quietly back to his
chair. and sat there like statue while his
negative was taken. He explained that
no Cheyenne warrior was greater brave
than he. The gigantic Osages, on the
other hand, would not approach the tent

ufacture of soap is more extensive in
Great Britain than in any other country OF
the world, and. in respect to quality,
British soaps are unquestionably better
than any of the continental make, especial
ly the tallow, palm oil and rosn soaps.
As to toilet soaps, they are in no respect
inferior to other countries, and generally
excel in their detergent qualities. Some
of the older processes are still preferred at
the standard establishments, whose repu-
tation is world wide. The marbling, for
instance, is produced by rubbing up the
coloring material, such as vermilion or
ultramarine, with little olive oil or soap,
and taking small portion on palette
knife, it is pushed through The melted
mass, and moved about according to the
taste of the operator. Colored soaps are
produced by mixing mineral colors with
the melted mass; thus, the pink color OF
rose soap is produced by vermilion, blue
by means of artificial ultramarine. and
brown by means of various ochres. Trans
parent soaps are made from white tallow
soap. cut into shreds, dried, and heated in
