A Baby's Wake in Chill.

When young child or infant dies,
the baby, after being cleansed, is ar
rayed in the finest garments, and placed
upon an altar in the best room in the
house; a pair of wings are fastened 30 it,
and crown upon it's head; above is
hung dove, and the entire surround
ings adorned with flowers and ribbons.
A guitarist is provided, who from his
seat in front chants and sings airs,
generally of laudatory and lamenting
nature, for the loss of the child; but as
the "poncha or drink begins to make
itself felt upon the friends who have
gathered round, it then becomes scene
of mirth and gladness that the child is
now an "angelito" Cor little angel.
This generally continues for several days,
until the body gives forth anything but
pleasant odors. This custom at the
present day is more general among the
lower classes, for, although it exists
among the rich, there is nothing of the
boisterous style about it.

The Story of the Shoe.

The modern shoe has been evolved
by a succession of slight notifications
and engagements of very simple
primitive covering. In the ages of stone
and bronze man seems to have protected
his foot by piece of bark or leather
laid under the sole and fastened in very
simple manner about the foot with
straps. Out of this grew the sandal,
with its broader and more elaborate
bands, reaching above the ankles, such
as we see represented In the art of
ancient Egypt and later. From the SAN
dial, again, was developed, by the addi-
ton of a fine leather below the straps,
as well as the broadening of the straps,
the germs of the shoe proper, an ar
illustrated by the Greek half
boot The completion of this process of
development was the doing away with
the band, and the making of the upper
leather frmer.

A Curious Fact,

When we study the construction of our
most important instruments we discover
to our establishment that the latter are
copies of some parts of our body, and
simply further completion of them.
In the first stone hammer man has un-
knowingly initiated his forearm with
closed fist; in the shovel and spoon we
see the forearm and followed hand; in
the saw we find reproduction of a row
of teeth; tongs represent the closing
together of thumb and fingers; in the
hook is bent finger reproduced; the
pencil is simply prolongation of the
forefnger; SO we see in all instruments,
from the simplest to the most compi-
Gated, only an Improvement and compile
ton of the human organs, and thus we
find that all the intentional thoughts of
men are directed toward the same end as
that toward which organic development
tends.
