Imprisonment for Debt in Mexico,


When an American settles in Mexi-
co he should.be prepared to pay cash
for everything, and if lie knows what
is good for him he will take a receipt
ed bill when he pays out money, If
L. "mits these nrnnantionS he may
wake up some fine morning in debt.
In Mexico, to be in debt is the worst
thing that can happen to man. I'm
der the Mexican law the creditor can
have the debtor arrested on the day
when the debt falls due. The prisoner
in such cases is chained to post
guarded by an officer.
AT the end of the time, if the mon
ey is not forthcoming, the mans labor
is sold to the government for 40 cents
day for as many days as will be nee
essary to discharge the obligation.
The miserable debtor is sent to the
silver mines, where he is chained to a
gang of felons and compelled to labor
underground. He sleeps underground,
and never sees daylight again until he
is restored to freedom. Not only do
ignorant Mexicans fall victims to this
cruel system of slavery, but foreigners
residing in the country occasionally
get caught in tight place, and their
creditors send them to the mines
where the majority of them die.-At-
lQnta Constitution.

The SightS of MOScOM.

A correspondent of the San Francis
co Chronicle says in letter from
Russia: The principal sights of Mos
COW are the buildings in the Kremlin,
including the ancient palace of the
Boyars, the collection in the treasury,
the big bell, and the spot where Napo-
leon stood during the burning of the
city. In the treasury are numerous
articles captured from NapoleOn's ar
my, among them numerous llags,-
some with French revolutionary mot
toes on them,-the emperOr's sword,
writing desk, and other souvenirs.
Proudly looking down upon them all
is heroic marble statue of the great
Frenchman, the placing of which in
such place was a handsome compli-
ment paid by the Russians to their re-
doubtable foe. A state carriage pre-
sented by Queen Elizabeth of England
to the czar, the charter of Poland in
black velvet covered box, the pointed
stick with which Ivan the Terrible
killed his son, and other curiostes are
in this collection. The big bell stands
on the ground outside, with great
piece broken out of it, leaving a hole
large enough for a man to squeeze
through. The spot where Napoleon
stood is on the roof The Fnnndline
hospital Is another of the sights. Here
are fifteen hundred infants from birth
to 8 weeks old, In the registry there
is an entry of an infant signed by Ma
poIeOn as liking of Moscow" The la
dy matron rather insinuated that Ma
poleon had more than an official inter-
est in this entry. The Alexandrine
theater and the palace of Prince Dol
gorolii, where had the honor of sup
ping, where other sights of this half
European, half -Asiatic city. Much of
my time, however, was spent in the
environs, where | had several friends,
who We'd with each other in making
the time pass pleasantly. 1 visited
several large farms where agriculture

and with the aid Of modern machin-

city, where numerous students are
annually matrculated. Among the
exhibits were several American ma
chimes including the harvester and the
California s.ng-plow. Altogether, 1

any other language, and its expansion
must widen with greater rapidity in
the future
Forcing tho Voice.

During the summer of 1884 a young
man, splendidly built called on me,
having previously demanded an up
pointment, explaining that he had my
advice to ask in matter of paramount
Importance to him. He asked what
he should do under the following cir
cumstances: He was the happy pos
SCISSOR of avery sweet tenor voice, of
which he gave an instant proof He
was recommended to 60 to a certain
Italian singing-master for the purpose
Of developing the strength Of his voice.
This gentleman recommended him to
take hold of the back of a chair with
both his hands, and then, pressing on
it as hard as he could, to shout with
all his might. Did think that was
the right way to 90 to work? Ire
piled that if his object was to break
his voice lie would undoubtedly reach
that object by so doing, otherwise l
could not imagine any good it could
do. Such murderous ignorance | really
think ought to be brought before the
court, because either Intentionally or
unintentonally that young man would
have been deprived of what he had to
make living from. He is now en-
gagged and sings at theater of not too
big proportions in the sweetest way
possible, and would Gel tainly not have
tone left in his throat hal he fol-
lowed the advice above indicated. And
perhaps | may be allowed at this op-
portunity to tender the advice of my
long experience to those who begin
singing. Before all, let a competent
master tell them what sort of voice
they have got. To treat a mezzo-
soprano as a contralto can be as hurt
full to it as to treat it like high So
prano. The teSSitura-that is the
principal position in which the voice
moves-is of decisive importance for
the singer, and it is u well known fact
that keeping the voice in exercises of
proper limits will extend the faculty of
singing lower or higher notes, which
can only be gained by well-calculated
stulY.-Iemple Bar.

The Uelnrul Man.

"There is man." said his neighbor,
speaking of the village carpenter,
"who has done moro good, l really be-
live, in this community than any 9TH
er person who ever lived in it. He
isn't worth two thousand dollars and
it's but little that he can put down on
subscription paper for any object.
But new family never moves into
the village that lie does not find them
out to give them ansighborly welcome
and offer any little service he can rem
der. He is usually on the lookout TO
give strangers seat in his pew at
church. He is always ready to watch
with sick neighbor and look after his
affairs for him, and I've sometimes
thought he and his wife kept house
plants in winter just for the sake of
being able to send little bouquets to
invaids. He finds time for pleasant
word for every child he meets, and
you'll always see them climbing into
his one-horse wagon when he has no
other load. He really seems to have a
genius for helping folks in all sorts of
common ways, and it does me- good ev-
cry day just to meet him on the street"

His FayOrite.

"a love for the animal kingdom is
common to everybody" said a Sunday
school talker. "Some people love birds,
others like dogs, horses. goats ETC., and
it is quite proper that they should do
so. l suppose every little boy and girl
here loves some dumb creature better
than all others. Don't you my little
friends?"
All hands went up.
That's right, and am glad to see
1t. 1t shows that you have hearts full
of love for the poor creatures who
have not been blessed with reason and
other precious gifts like yourselves.
Now, to illustrate q point, | am going
to ask some little boy to tell me what
his favorite is among the domestic ami
mails. All, thanks This little boy
shall answer. What do you like best,

all may hear you."

My little boy came to me this morn
ing with broken toy, and begged 1
would mend it for him. 1t was a
very handsome toy, and was the pride
of his heart just then; so did not
wonder to see his lips quivering and
the tears come into his eyes.
"Ill try to fix it, darling" l said,
"but Pm afraid can't do it,
He watched me anXiously Il few
moments, and then said cheerfully,
"Never mind. mamma. If you can't
fix it I'll be just as happy without it,"
Wasn't that brave, sunshiny heart ?
And he made me think of dear little
girl, only three years old, whom once
saw bringing out her choicest play
things to amuse little homesick
cousin. Among the rest was a little
trunk, with bands of silk paper for
straps-a very pretty toy; but careless
little Freddie tipped the lid too far
back and broke it off. lie burst out
with a cry of fright, but little Minnie,
with her own eyes full Of tears, said,
"Never mind, Freddie, just see what a
nice little cradle the top will make"

The Invention of Ink,

When ink was introduced does not
seem to have been decided, but given
tire paper and the pen, a colored me-
dium which would show on light
surface was so obvious want, and
one so readily found, that there is
no extraordinary credit due to the un-
known inventor. 1t tappears to be only
of comparatively late years that black
ink has been almost universal. Roman
ink was red, purple and gold, and inks
of blue, green, violet and other shades
was not uncommon. 1t is said that
simple as is the combination of ink,
"we possess none equal in beauty to
that used by the ancients; the Saxon
manuscripts written in England ex-
ceed in color anything of the kind"
Modern ink-makers will deny the su-
periority Of the ancients; but who
shall say whether words written in the
ink manufactured to-day will stand as
vividly centuries hence as those Saxon
manuscripts have stood? II is diff
cult to see how the writing materials
of the present day can be improved
upon, for convenience at least. setting
aside questions of lasting inks, which
the generation that uses them cannot
settle. Paper, rough and smooth, flu
ent inks of any color that the writer
may believe suitable to his eyes, pens
as fine as needle or as blunt as a
spade, are all to be bought on every
street. The great lack of the age
seems to be ideas at once more novel
and sensible in the record of which
these serviceable materials may be

MaiHliia, uii yVu ofCi n0O i0"i
fairy" questioned Maud, looking up
from book she was reading-"a real
one with shining white wings?"
"NO, | never did, Maud, nor did any
one else. Fairy stories are not true,
you know; they are only written to
amuse, But your question reminds
me of something which happened
when was a little girl. 1t was one
summer when your aunt Kate and /
hal been sent to the country to see our
grandmother. Father and mother
were to follow us in few weeks. We
loved to visit grandmother, for she
lived on a farm which stood upon a
river bank, and there were beautiful
trees and woods along the bank.
"Uncle Fred had given us a very
pretty white kitten. and as we had
never had a cat or pet of any kind, we
were delighted. Uncle Fred had just
come home from board school, and we
thought him wonderfully clever, and
were delighted when he noticed us.
One day he brought us a book of fairy
stories, the first Of tile kind we had
ever seen. 1t was no wonder that our
minds were excited by the wonderful
tales, and that we porcd over them
night and day. One desire took pos
session Of us: we must see a fairy.
"Accordingly, one afternoon, just
after dinner, We crept away very
stcaIthily for fear some one might call
Il, back, and FASTENED TO the woods.
Once in the dense shade of the great
trees and out of sound of farmyard,
we became almost frightened. we
hardly dare breathe. The sound of
our own footsteps often made US start.
We expected any moment to see
fairy or a dwarf. At length we be-
gan to be weary and little dlscour-
aged. We thought we must have come
at the wrong time, and so decided to
turn back. Then we found, alaSl we
had lost our way. We were dread
fully alarmed, for we knew it would
soon begin to grow dark, and the idea
of spending the night in the woods was
terrifying especially when we remem-
bered the stories we had been reading.
suddenly we heard strange noise
lust over our heads-a cracking Of
leaves, then a branch shook. Some
thing was going to happen at last. We
stood still, quite breathless. A little
more rustling of leaves, and then out
stepped little snow-white creature
and stood before us---not a real fairy,
to be sure, but, far better, our own
white kitten.
"Oh, how we laughed as she sprang
down! and then we laughed louder
still when we saw that we had wan
dered all around the river bank and
had come back again to the farm by
another way. Just beyond us stood
the gate; only we had been too much
bewildered to see it.
pussy had evidently been out upon
ajourney alSo-not looking for fairies,
but for birds--and we had met. As
she had never had name, we called
her Fairy from that day. Grand
mother laughed at us when we got
home, and Uncle FiCd said that if he
had known we were such silly little
girlies he would would never have put
fairy stories in our hands to bother our
heads"
1t is very foolish to allow ourselves
to he troubled 10y our fancies and to be
afraid OF what does not exist.

The latest swindle relating to spur
ious money is the split bank note fraud.
A $50 bank note is taken, and by some
ingenious method the note is split in
two and the raw side is "doctored up"
and each half is passed off as gcnu-
inc $50 note. The work is done so
artistically in most cases that it is diff
icult at first to detect the fraud.
