Running a Hole Ont Of Town.

A friend who hes been travelling in
Mexico brings back good story illus
trative of the peculiar lack Of inventive
ness Of the people Of our sister republic.
A church was lately built al Logos, on
the main line of the Mexican Central
railroad, and when finished the fathers
were annoyed to find that 4 bic hole,
from which the clay for the adobes used
in constructing the editice had been ex-
eavated, remained directly IN front OF
the main entrance. Orders were given
to have the unsightly hole filed up.
This was done by shoveling into Il earth
and clay from the nearest bank But
this, of course, left another hole and so
the painstaking Mexicans went "a work
and filled that up in like manner leaving
another gap in the ground which was
then filled, and the operation was re-
peated until the hole was run out Of
town, so to speak, and the good fathers
congratulated themselves on beinr rid
Of an unsightly nuisance. Peonle who
wonder why the Mexicans are not more
enterprising than they are will find in
this little tale one explanation Of the
which stands in the wav Of a
rapid development of the country-Nso
York Times.

Hints About Pic Mics.

The most important part of picnic,
however, is not the weather or the place
or the dinner. You may choose the most
beautiful spot in the world, and spread
the most delicious lunch ever prepared,
and yet have the whole thing a com
plete failure, simply because the company
was not well selected. Out of doors,
where people are free from formality,
unless they are congenlal friends, and
what Mrs. Whitney calls "Real Folks, :"
they will be likely to feel i'll at case, and
miss the support given by company,
clothes and manners Small picnics, for
this reason among others, are usually
much pleasanter than large picnics.
In makingu the party, be sure to leave
behind the girl who is certain to be too
warm or too cold, or to think some other
place better than the one where she is,
and who has a ''horrid time, if she has
to submit to any personal INCONVENIENCE
for the sake of others; and with her the
boy who loves to tease. and who is quitt
sure that his way is the only good way.
Put into their places some others, young
or old, who love simple pleasures, and
are ready to help others to enjoy them.
Next IN importance to the company is
the place. 1t must not be great dis
lance, or you will be tired, not to say
cross, when you arrive there. 1t must be
reasonably shady and not too far from a
supply of good drinking water. If the
company are to walk, you must be espe-
cially careful not to be overburdened with
baskets or wraps, for the bundles which
seemed 50 light when you started are sure
to weigh down much more heavily before
you reach your destination. Be careful
to have this work fairly distributed.
Never start until you are sure that YOU
know just where you are gong, and the
best way Of getting there. Wandering
about TO choose a place, and thinking
constantly to find one more desirable. is
very fatigueing. That matter should be
settled beforehand by two or three Of the
party, and the Others should 90 straight
to the spot, and make the best of it. II
any do not like it, they can choose a diff.
ferent place when their turn comes tc
make the selection. 81. Nicholas.

The Effects OF Beer Drinking.

The following is from the N Y. Inde.
pendent:
at is quite fashionable now amon4 the
working classes, and to a considerable
extent among young business men in all
directions, 20 make beasts of themselves
by drinking enormous quantities Of larger
beer. 1t is having its dangerous effect by
confirming those who use 1t in bad habits
Of all sorts. 1t Supplies, animalizes and
destroys all the finer feelings, which are
blunted If not entirely dethroned in all
beer.guzzlers, and leaves the poor vic.
Tins to live and act like brutes. The fol.
lowing remarks, from the Pacific Med.
cal journal, should be carefully con.
sidered.
A whisky.drinker will commit murder
only under the direct excitement Of lio.
uor; beer drinker is capable of doing II
In cold blood. Long observation has as
sured US that large proportion of mur.
ders, deliberately planned and executed
without passion or malice, with no other
motive than the acquisition Of property
or money, often Of trifling value, are
perpetrated by beerdrinkers.
We believe, further, that the hereditary
evils Of beer.drinking exceed those pro.
ceeding from the ardent spirits; first, be.
caus the habit is constant and without
paroxysmal interruptions, which admit
Of some recuperation; secondly, because
beer drinkingis practiceb by both sexes
more generally than spirit.drinking; and
thirdly, because the animalizing tendecy
of the habit is more uniformly develop
ed, thus authorizing the presumption that
the vicious results are more generally
transmitted"
