1t is thought that Mexico now has a way
of gradually extricating herself from hen
financial difficulties without the disgrace
of Reputation. The plan includes the
consolidation of the entire debt of the
country, except that of Macmillan. which
is formally repudated, and excepting al
SO the floating debt. which is already pro.
vided for in an authorized issue of S25,
100000 bonds at per cent. The consol.
idated debt will bear interest at per cent,
but the maximum interest will not be
reached till 1890. Next year. 1886. pei
cent will be paid, the year following Is
per cent. and so on till 1890, when the
per cent will be reached. The National
Bank of Mexico will have charge OF the
negotiations. and as it is understood that
foreign capitalists have advised the gov,
erument in its sdop,ion OF this plan. it is
quite probable that it will prove success
full.

The Hungry Tn Hotels.

ADO people in hotels eat as heartily rs at

@Well, sir, that's pretty hard question
to answer Some do and some don't. Peo-
pie who spend about all their time on the
road, like commercial men and actors, do;
but ordinary business men do not. Ispent
some time waiting in private houses in differ
ent parts of the country and saw what some
Of the men ate at home. Well, when went
into the business of waiting at hotels met
some of these gentlemen, and 1t was real
curious to watch 'em. Some Of them would
look ut the bill of fare with real hungry
look, but when 1t came to ordering,
they'd look almost guilty as they told the
waiter to bring on what would have been
about half dinner for them at home. They
would lose all courage, eat about half OF
their order and 60 away. know they must
have been hungry half an hour afterward.
Other men won't care for what people think,
but pitch in and eat good dinner, taking
their own time about it. But, as told you
before, these men have been used to knock

1How about the ladiesT
sWell, sir, I've seen ladies at home, at
parties and at hotels, and / must say that
American ladies have small appetites. They
get along ON less than any class have ever
seen. The Jewish ladies' are the heartiest
eaters, and can bold their own pretty well.
But for real out-and-out hearty eaters you
must see a healthy young Englishwoman
tackle bill of fare. They can do up about
as much food as most American men, and
never seem disturbed in the least regarding

A singular ExperImeu ut.


The Fish Culture journal states that the
truth of the assertion recently made by an
American authority to the effect that brandy
acts as an immediate means Of revivifying
fish on the point of expiration, has been COM
pletely vindicated by Mr.. w. Oldham Cham
bers, secretary of the National Fish Culture
association, who conducted an experiment in
the presence of several gentlemen at South
Kensington on the 1st inst Taking two
Prussian carp from the tanks Of the aqua
rum he deposited them in separate dry cans,
adorning one with blue ribbon to distinguish
1t from tho other, which was selected for tho
administration Of spirituous liquors.

quantity Of brandy and water was then
given TO the carp selected for the imbibi-
ton OF intoxicating liquors through the
medium of feather; and no sooner was the
fish replaced in water than It was quickly
restored 10 vigor and strength. The carp

hour after its more fortunate associate, and
was taken out of the water and thrown on
the ground.
About four hours later, however, the fish
was picked up by Mr.. Chambers, who OBJ
served 1t by appearance to be in rigor mortis
He at once operated on the seemingly mani
mate fish by open NJ its mouth and pouring
dose Of brandy and water down Its throat
and again putting IL in the water, when TO
his astonishment he noticed slight signs of
animation. For five minutes the unfortunate
object Of the experiment fioated helplessly on
its side, when presently, to the still greater
amazement Of Mr.. Chambers and those who
watched the experiment, 1t gradually asserted
itself In the water, and with considerable
effort made use of its fns-feebly at first,

A story OF the street.


Poktng around In dark alley above which
the great black buildings lowered high, q
patrolman found boy asleep in barrel
The night was wet and chilly, and the child,
who was not more than z, and whose grimy
and bony little limbs could plainly be seen
through the rents In his clothing, had wrapped
an old sack Of some kind about his shoulders
At the further end Of the alley were brilliant
lights. which, reiecting on the stream Of
water trickling over the granite blocks in the
center OF the narrow thoroughfare, gave il
the appearance OF silver rivulet
The officers lantern was thrown full on the
lad and brought his wretchedness into strong
relief Once the man stepped aside as IL to
leave the boy, but turning again, bis rough
face full Of kindly sympathy, he bent over
the little form and spoke to the sleeper Kindly.
aGod help the child" said the officer under
his breath. his thoughts wandering on to his
own little ones 1Come, Johnny, this is no
place for you Come with me and Sleep"
The boy made no move and the officer hit
the barrel with his club, the blow echoing up
and down the alley with a resounding crash.
The child was on his feet In an instant with
q brick in each Of his bony hands
1Yer amt got no war'nt, Mister Cop, and
yer know it. Don't yer put yer fuke on me,
or I'll smash - out Of you.n
1Go to bed, Johnny, go to bed, !" observed
the officer as he resumed his measured tread,
whistling little as he went, and then, when
out of hearing and looking back In the grim
recess where dark little figure could still be
seen, "God help the child, all the same"
