CHRISTMAS IN MExIco.-The Ameri-
cans celebrate Christmas with a tree, the
Mexicans with pinata. Every night till
the oath of December, inclusive, the pinata
is broken. 1t is large earthern vessel
gaily decorated and filled with toothsome
dulces or candies, hung from .he ceiling in
the center of the room. The children are
blindfolded and armed with sticks to break
she Jug. Many are the efforts made by the
laughing, rollicking, joyous volunteers to
make themselves masters of the situation,
which they finally accomplish, when some
member of the blindfolded brigade with a
lucky blow skaters the pianta. The crash
of splintered, scattered crockerv, the rattle
Of bonbons and candies upon the floor is
the signal for the wrenching off of the
mask and the children throw themselves
upon the sweets, knowing that findings is
hayings." Presents are then passed around,
among them china baskets, figures and silk
and satin boxes with candies. Dancing
then commences and lasts till morning.

WOULD GIVE UP HIS SEAT.-The last
seat in the horse-car had just been taken,
when very pompous, nervous old gentle
man boarded it, and casting his eye around
in search Of a place in which to deposit
himself, discovered that little boy occu-
pied the corner seat at the further end
The old gentleman evidently made up his
mind to have the corner seat, and, ap-
preaching the youngster, he said; Ny
good little boy, you are younger than l am
and can stand the strain upon your legs
better than can, for l have SO much
more to hold up. Won't you, like good
little boy, give me your seat?7 Nav"
said the boy, stoutly gazing at the old gen
tleman. You should he more polite, my
boy, and more obliging. You know that
if your father should come in now and ask
you for your seat YOU would give 1t TO
him" You betcher life l would an

pears 10 be also the most natural method,
for many persons object to lying upon the
side of the heart, which, it has been more
than once asserted, should have action dur
ing sleep. Nevertheless, Dir. Delaunay's
statements hardly harmoni2e with this
opinion. When one sleeps upon the right
side, that is to say, upon the right side Of
the brain, ones dreams have marked and
other unpleasant characteristics. These
characteristics, however, are essentially
those which enter into the popular de6ni-
ton Of dreams. Ones dreams are then apt
to be illogical, absurd, childish. uncertain,
incoherent, full Of Eivacity and exaggera-
ton, Dreams which come from sleeping
on the right side are, in short, simply de-
ceptions They bring to the mind very
old or faint remembrance, and they are
s4en accompanied by Nightmares. DR..
Delaunay points out that sleepers fire.
qllently compose verse or rhythmical Ian
guage while they are lying on their right
side. This verse, though at times correct
enough, is absolutely without sense. The
moral faculties are then at work, but the
intellectual faculties are absent. On the
other hand, when a person siunbers on his
left side, his dreams are not only less ab-
surd, but they may also be Intelligent.
They are, as a rule, concerned with recent
things, not with "reminiscences.

INTEREST BEARlNa NOTES.

The l1.ce of the curious ink-plant of
New Granada requires 40 preparation be-
fore being used for writing. The color is
reddish when first applied to paper, but
soon becomes deep black, which is very
durable. Che ink is now used for public
records and documents.
A factory is said TO have been estab-
lished in Sweden for making into paper
the half-decompos moss which has ac-
cumulated in Norway and Sweden 10 a
thickness of foot or more The substance
may be pressed into boards, which have the
desirable qualities of wood without such
defects as warping and splitting.
A Wooster man has invented a square
hole auger. He has been working on the
scheme for years. A single auger is at
last perfected and in the hands of the
Cleveland Machine Company for their
estimates on its manufacture. 1t does the
work neatly and quickly, and combines a
great advantage over the round anger and
the ehisel in morticing.
A recent number of the photographic
NeRs contains reproduction of a photo
graph of the Paris express train taken by
am exposure of the entire plate for one three
hundredth part of I second-a side view,
while the train was running at a velocity
of forty-two miles per hour. There is a
slight blurring in some Of the details OF
the picture, but in general ii looks as il
the cars and locomotive were standing still.
The story is published, respecting the
origin of balloons, that Madame Montgol-
fer had washed her petticoat TO wear to a
great festival on the next day, and hung ii
over chatting dish to dry The hot air

astonished and called her husbands atten-
ton to the sight. Ii did not take Mont
golfer long to grasp the idea of the hot

The Judge and the Conductor.

4 witty but good-natured ret0rt which
brings home a truth Is often good way Of
settling a dispute. Eperg Other Saturday
relates an incident which shows the effect
iveness of such method of dealing. 1t
runs thus a young lawyer once quite
forgot himself in some curt expression To
the Court, but the Judge was sensible

rity Of the member of the bar, treated he
matter rather gently. lie made it clear.

the late Chief Justice Bigelow. who on one
occasion was brought to his bearings in a
way as effective as it was amusing. He
was riding in car which did moi stop al

train was brought to q sudden stop. The
conductor rushed into the car and de-

railroad official made some remarks which
were not complimentary and hardly re-
spectful. The Judge afterward complained
to the President of the road, who promised
to look into the matter. But he found that
although the conductor might have used
hot language the Chief-Justice was not
without fault, and said nothing about it.

BENroN's FAvoRITE DISH" Senator
Benton, of Missouri, was a mighty funny
man about his eating" continued Uncle
Steve / was at the National Hotel for a
long time while he boarded there, and
can say that he was about as funny man
as you ever saw. He could talk more and
pay his walters less than any Congressman
l ever waited on. In the morning he would
say to me: Steve, you black rascal, bring
me a Missouri cocktail That would mean
whisky straight, two drinks in one. He
would call for pretty much everything on
the bill of fare, but he didn't touch much
of it. What do you suppose was his ia
vorte dish? Bacon and molasses, as sure
as you are born lie would have 4 big
dish Of bacon fried crisp, with the gravy at
the bottom. Then he would pour a pint
Of molasses over it, and tell you when he
got through there wasn't anything left but
the dish. That's the reason Mr.. Benton
had his meals mostly in his room. He did
not want people to know that he was so
fond OF bacon and molasses."- Baltimore

DARNING WITH HUMAN HAIR.-A Bal
timore merchant tailor says he frequently
does fine darning with strands of hair from
his wifes head 1t often happens that
there is small cleanly-cut place in & bolt
of goods 1t may not be known until after
a garment has been cut out But when it
is discovered the tailor cannot afford to
throw away the piece. He simply calls on
his wife for several strands OF hair, hands
them to the best-skilled workman in tie
shop and bids him mend the rent. He uses
a very fine needle, and does his work so
perfectly that it is never known that the
cloth was cut. He said to reporter: q
once knew tailor who got in peck Of
trouble from having cut the button-holes
on the wrong side of i costly coat. lie
finally oyercanle the difficulty by mending
them with his wife's hair. Once upon Il
time, as the story book says, cut out and

defect in it which could not be remedied
without stitching it with piece Of cloth

Foreign journals speak of an invention
produced in Germany, VIZ, q musical bed,
SO constructed that, by means of a con-
cealed piece of mechanism, the pressure of
the body produces the softeSt harmony,
which lasts long enough to lull one to

ever hour the person wishes to awake, and,
at the time fixed, the bed plays march

ABsENT-MINDED LADY, had a GU
rious experience not long ago said the
superintendent Of one of the departments
of diapers. "a fashionahly dressed
lady came in early, and in the course of
her bargaining put her parasol on the
counter near large feather buster which
one of the clerks had been using. After
making some purchases the lady caught up
the buster instead of the parasol, and went
ont hurriedly. As soon as discovered the
mistake sent boy after her with the pa
rasol, but he did not overtake her until
she had made quite journey. In fact,
she carried that duster along the street,
fourshing II about as she went into an
other shop, and put ii down on the coun-
ter, still under the impression that 1t was
her parasol. When her purchases in the
second shop were made, she turned to pick
up her parasol, and seeing the buster,
asked for her parasol. The clerk ex
planned that she had not brought any pa
rasol but had come in carrying that dus-
ter. She was supremely indignant 1T such
an intimation, and was delivering the
young man sharp lecture on the subject
when in came our boy with the parasol and
an explanation. She was SO overcome that
she had to be sent home in carriage"
