THE PENITENTEs.

This society, until it is crushed out,
will remain an effectual barrier to the
progress of morality and good order in
New Mexico. 1t was founded Mt Santa
Cruz in 1893 by the old Franciscan
missionaries. 1t was originally intended
as means OF bringing the whole popu-
lation within the pale of the church.
and its principal dogma was that no sin
could be so great but that sufficient
expiation would purge it away. There
are 10000 penitents, and as they are
mutually sworn to assist and protect one
another, even to the extent of perjury.
it will readily be seen what a formidable
hydra the New Mexican Judges have to
deal with. 1t is only the powerful
influence of their priests that keeps them
at all within bounds. The epublic services
of expiatiOn are held once a year. in
Holy Week. There is never any lack of
expiants. An image of the Virgin is
placed in the centre of the church. or in
the campo santO before it, and the
ground for many yards in front of it is
strewn knee deep with cactus. whose
poisonous spines will sometimes pierce
the heaviest sOled shoe Through this
bed OF living thorns the penitents march
with naked feet or crawl along ON bare
knees, calling piteously the while to the
Virgin for forgiveness of their sins. As
II this were not sufficient, they scourpe
themselves with great punches of
cactus tied together on thong, and
slash themselves with knives. The
natural result of these horrible exercises
is death now and then, and MANY
manned and pitiahle creatures who
drag out miserable existence for the
remainder of their days. In one of the
little chapels we visited the white.
washed walls were splashed with blood
to the height of six or eight feet. Mgr.
Lamy, the present enlightened Arch
bishop of New Mexico, has made strenu-
GUS efforts to abolish this evil. but SC
strongly is it intrenched in the customs
OF the people that he has met with but
little SUCCESS III his efforts,

THE DEADLY rEA

w. Mattieu Williams in n sarios .,
afncles on food and cookery in KNOW.
ieoge, has finally come to tea, and there
ne hits oil civilized people in tender
Spot In truth, the scientific view of
What ought to eaten, and how it should
Do prepared, is 50 at variance with what
we Go eat, apd the manner of its prem
aratlon, that one is led to marvel there
Is sound digestion and an unimpaired
stomach In all civilization. Asa mat
Ter OF fact Ill view of the STARTLING
revelations as to the deadly character of
our customary food, it is to be wondered
Ut that we are not an extinct race. Ac-
cordlng to Mr.. Williams, of all the life
shortening, misunderstanding articles
winch man is using, tea is one of the
most dangerous destructive and deadly.
Ihls is the infusion which Cibber apOs-
trophies in fervent words "Tea! thou
soft. thou sage, thou sober, and vener-
able liquid; thou female tOngue-runnino.
smlle-smoothing, heat-Opening, wink
tipping cordial, to whose glorious insi
pidity owe the happiest moment of nv
life, let me fall PROSTATE. Nor is Cibber
the only writer who has invoked
panegyric to aid in expressing
admiration of this "cup which
cheers but does not inebriate :"
literature is interspersed with laudations
OF the bowl over which fair women
gossip, whose existence is far greater
than the area of civilization. whose
inspiration cheers the souls of the
millions of China, and carries warmth
through all portions OF the frozen
steppes of Siberia and RUSSIA.
The active principle Of tea is ''crvstal-
line alkalOid, the Aeine, compound
belonging to the same class us strych-
nine, and u number of similar vegetable
pOisOns. This is the character of the
drink which is served at least once day
on every table in civilization. That
which delicate women by the million sip
is deadly alkalOid, of the same class
as strychnine, drug so deadly that
the mere mention Of it's name sends
Shudder through the listener as would
the sudden appearance of some hideous
reptile. 1.-The essential action of tea
is to waste the system, or consume food
by promoting vital action which it does
not support; and worse than this is the
fact that while arsenic, deadly poison,
will produce the same effect on the
human system as tea that is, it, like tea.
checks the waste of tissue, and has the
effect tomake fooduppear to go further" "
The writer takes up the matter of tea
stimulation, and shows that it acts the
same as tobacco, the betelnut, hasheesh
i'll certain quantities, and various other
produces Of exaltation, ali of which Mr..
Williams humps together under the head
)f vice-drugs."

THE CURIOsITIEs OF BURNING.

There are many curiosities of burn
ing, OF extraordinary rapidity of COM
bustiOn, which would be worth detailing
II we had the space Bad building is the
cause of most, for bad building mean ,
rapid destruction by fire. The par. y
wall in the majority or old houses built
IN row, and i'll many new, does not
reach to the roof, as it should. and tho
space between creates q channel
almost blowpipe the spread of the
tire to the next, which is very difficult
to deal with. 1t is danger provided
against by legislation dor it is known
that 9-inch brick wall will resist fire as
long as it stands), but often through
carelessness it is overlooked. In France,
under the Code Napoleon, the build
ing OF proper party wall has always
been very strictly enforced, and even in
The terrible days of the Commune there
was no instance of fire spreading from
one house to the other. A building with
a large frontage of windows-a large
shop, for instance, with showrooms on
each floor-is OneOf the most dangerous
with which the brigade have to cope.
The glass soon cracks and falls out, the
air rushes in, and the whole soon be-
comes one vast blast furnace. Perhaps
the most dangerous of all are those lofty
establishments of fats, which very
properly go by the name of the builders
or proprietOrs folly. There is no one
spot in them free from or unlikely to
catch fire, fOr they are collections of
private houses, as it were, and every
part OF private house is equally vul-
nerable' and from their great height
there are neither ladders long enough Or
"ater-Ie's powerful enough to reach the
top stories.

THE sAND-FLY OF BAGDAD.

1t is commonly said that there are no
bugs in Arabia, the dry heat killing
them all off; and certainly all the
names given for the creature in Arabic
dictionaries are either taken from the
Turkish or manufactured. Considering
what a vast field for blood-suckers in
Bagdad, and what myriads of this partic-
uiar species are constantly coming into
It, II only from Bombay, in the boxes of
travellers and pilgrims, what becomes
OF them all is problem in natural his
tory, anything like extreme heat even
suppOsing that to have the effect
alleged, occurring only between June
and September. Anyhow, it was a COM
tort to feel safe on that score at least in
turning in for the night in a billet
which, If there had been member of
the family In all Bagdad, looked as if it
would have been sure to hold him. But
morning brought the discovery that if
the bug was absent he was represented
by sand-fy with body hardly bigger
thana mites, apair of wings like tiny sails
and poison-iniecting and blOod-suck-
ing apparatus of extraordinary calling.
Like Dr. Syntau, when the boiling
water from DOllys kettle had decanted
itself into his shoes: 1.-The scalding tor
ment In his feet soon made the half
dressed victim fain to pull off his socks
and rub until the skin was raw, in hopes
OF getting out the venom.
Some even ascribe to this cause the
singular liberation of the skin to which
natives of Bagdad, especially III child
hood, are liable, and which seldom fails
to attack European and other strangers
during their first year of residence.
Either from the season when these sores
generally break out, being that when the
date is nearly ripe, or from the scar left
by them resembling that fruit in size
and contour, they are quite commonly
spoken of as date sores"
The number of people in Bagdad
whose faces are more or less disfgured
in this way frightens most all new
comers. Hitherto the result of medical
surgical practice has gone to show that
on whatever constitutional, climatic or
external cause or causes depending, the
affection, like SO many others. is best left
alone. In the healthy it runs its course
in about a year, sometimes only one
sore appearing, but Oftener succession
OF them. They are not in the least pain
ful or dangerous and, except when on
very tender spots or parts which are
essential to locomotion, the natives of
Bagdad appear not to mind or be much
annoyed by them-one instance more of
the eel growing used to the skinning.

ELECTRICITY APPLIED TO BIG GUNS.

The revolution which electricity 10
destined to make in modern warfare Is
as yet only in its infancy. The latest
invention of Mr.. Maxim is however an

training gear was applied day or two
ago to one of the 3s-ton guns at Garrison

showed that one man could train the

A Case OF Mistaken Indemnity.

II turns out that the married lady who
believed herself grossly i~nsulted on Sat-
urday night last near this Office was not
insulted at all. 1t appears that a certain
gentleman and lady were on Main street
doing some shopping. and separating at
Morris * Levy's dry good store they we're to
meet one another q few moments later near
the SENTINEL Office. II was just about
dark, and the gentleman. when, with nu-
merous bundles in his arms, he approached
the place of meeting he there saw q lady.
whom he believed was the one he was
seeking, well, here you are" he re-
marked. At this the lady took to her
heels, and made a bee-line for her hus-
bands store. and there told of a gross In
suit having been offered her. II might be
the proper thing for US TO suggest here that
ladies should not too readily imagine them
selves insulted on the streets when spoken
TO by gentlemen they do not know. Men
are apt to make mistakes, and often they
do so inpocently, and when doing 80 they
have a few feelings in the matter to be re-
garded as well as the lady. 1t is time
enough for her to talk OF being insulted by
such and such a man when she knows that
she has been. We make this suggestion
with all due regard to womankind.
