Attraeslons far de Crowd.
New York Cor. Troy TiIaes.]


Walking through Wall street nouced the
ygoai1nlea laying the foundation for the
Washington statue A crowd was watching
the job How easily q crowd is gatherei
here! The reason Is found in the fact that .
large part OF the populace is composed of
those who tramp the streets without appa1-
ent purpose, and are ARRAYS ready to stop
and gaze. Fourteenth street is the biggest OF
such idle gatherings, as there is window
there lin the third storg} IL which ridiculous
marionettes are exhibited. These little toys
are only fit for the children, and yet they at
tract great numbers OF grown people, who
stand on the opposite sios and gaze with
strange intentnesS on the silly performance.
The joke of the tting is th2t the latter is only
a bait for al advertisemeur. The Snowman
has hired the window for this purpose, and
while he attracts the public no also parades
his business,
crowd Of fashion woFshipers is always
found at Arnold d Ceust@Ds's immense
corner window, whore half dozen wax
figures display ses fsl styles IN the most gor-
geous manner Rich sad poor rainsle IN this

where % many stop, though not one in fifty
makes a purchase. When one sees the words,
'Your cheice fer rs csnts." how natural it is
to halt and lookl Each one gazes moment
or two, and then passes on, but some one else
is ready to take his place. These facts show
that though street life has hurried aspect,
a large part of 1t is composed of liStless wan

MEXICAN PosToEF1oE METHODS
Postage Peccgiarfties in Monterey.
RIO City Delivery, ne Stexnps Sold
RIO Accommo datXon,


Fannie Brigham Ward in Pieneer Press
The postoffice, on the opposite side of the
same plaza, is an institution Of the most
aggravating character, conducted strictly on
Mexican manana tomorrow principles.
Although Monterey has now rlauy foreign
residents, there is not a clerk in the Office who
understands a word Of any language, or can
read other than Mexican names. As the
Spanish alphabet does not contain all the
English letters for instance, it has no w, its
TBS are all Fs, and its rs are Y's) the mistakes
that perpetualiy occur are enough to make an
angel weep. OF course Mexican ladies never
go to the postotfice, and if an Americana"
ventures to do SO, perhaps she will be waited
upon in course of time, after having been
severely stared at, and all the men about the
premises are first attended to.
There is no drop-letter system, and no city
delivery. Il you desire to communicate by
letter with q person in tho same town, no
amount Of persuasion or number of postage
| stamps viii induce the powers that be to to
put your missive into his box. While post
age to the United States, Canada and Eu-
rope is only 6 cents per half-ounce, it is IS
cents to any part of Mexico if only across
the line from one state to another; and very

another 25 cents if possible. Mexi-
can postal cards are 3 cents each, good
for any part of the world, except in Mexico
but may not be sent from one town to an
other within their own borders.
In Monterey If you look particularly hon
est they VIII sometimes sell you one or two
postage stamps to carry away with you-but
never more than two; while in other Mexican
postoaices they viii not sell you any. Why,
heaven only knows. except that it is one of
the many ''rules of the government" The
postoffice is frequently closed, for hours at a
time, while the postmaster and all his clerks
are enjoying a long siesta. AS there is no
outside box for depositing letters, even if we
had stamps to put on them. am afraid that
this institution is irresponsible for considerable
profanity, especially on the part CT those who
| have been accustomed to better treatment in
Los Estados Unidos del Norte, as they insist
on calling our United States, in contradis-
tinction to their del sur.

The Mysterious Author of '.Rutiedse.'
Publishers Weekly.l

A popular novel by a southern writer pub
lished by Afr. j. c. Derby was ''Rutledge,"
which made stir equaled BY few novels to-
day. This novel also met with rebuff when
it first came north, and was rejected by
Messrs. Harper. The story is strange one,
the name of the heroine never being men
toned in it. An uncle of the author, Mr.
Weeks, brought the manuscript to Mr..
Derby, and said that the author did not wish
to be known. Mr.. Derby replied that he
never published book without knowing who
wrote it, and that he must decline the manu-
Script on such terms. Mr.. Weeks then Of
fered to publish it at his own expense if Mr.
Derby would put his imprint on it. This he
declined to do also. So a meeting was ar
ranged, and Mr.. Derby met Miss Miriam
Coles. The question of the day was: 'Who
is the author Of 'Rutledgean and everybody
was eager to hear the answer. Mr. Derby,
who has keen appreciation Of the humor-
Gus, got the editors of Vanity Fair to an
nounce that in certain number they would
publish portrait of the author of ''Rut-

number appeared, and there stood the

CaCo OF Little Girls HAIR.

It is the opinion OF several downtown doc

at a time, il you would keep less hair in the
brush than on the head Waite short it is
better to let the hair hang loosely. When
started for the final growth braid it in one or
two strands, but not tigksy. Always fasten
the ends with combings, as a string,
cord or elastic will certainly cut the
hair. Don't try to cr1np your lit
tie daughters hair. To be sure it
has the appearance of just doubling the
thickness and tickling the vanity Of the little
girl, as well as warming the pride Of her
mother, but at the same time it breaks OF the
individual hairs and keeps them Of an uneven
length for years.
The heavy heads of hair that many little
girls are made to carry, just because it is the
fashion, or because some proud mother "hates
to cut it off, i" is not frequently the cause of
nervous diseases and general i'll health. Eight
or ten inches Of hair is too hot in summer, too
great a strain on the nerves in the winter,
and in nineteen cases out Of twenty so in1pov-
erishes the hair cells that the product is ever
afterward very frugal. Medical works on
the subject are full Of instances in which
twitching Of the facial muscles, Saint Vitus'
dance, weakness Of the nerves of the eyes,
and various nervous troubles can be traced
to heavy name which some little one has
been burdened with through the weakness OF
; her father and the vanity Of her mother.

And didn't count the Odds

When suddenly the sheriff

And the boys took to their cattle

For l stumbled by the roadside
And couldn't find my way.

But didn't say word;
And when tried to hail him
He neither spoke nor stirred.
And then slipped in somehow
Between each sturdy arm,
And he let me down 50 gentle

And lay there quite contented
And slept until twas day,
And woke to find him watching
