A Struggle for Principle.

4 rainy day had housed us up in the
cabin of a Tcnnessean and about O'Clock
in the morning a man who was address
ed 10y our host as Uncle Billy came rid
ing up through the steady po'w ON Il
mule. The animal was placed in the sta
bile, and Us the two men entered the
house our host observed:
We'll, Uncle Billy, how'll you trade
mules ?"
"Oh, bout 81 few boot" wa. the an
swer.
They. returned to the stables and talk
ed until noon. Then we had dinner, and
they talked until I O'Clock. The rain lei
up Il bit then and We went ont to see d
cave, leaving them talk mule. We re-
twrned at q and they were still at it. We
had supper, and the interrupted CONVEX
sation was resumed and kept up till
O'Clock. We went off to bed with Uncle
Billy saying:
Tell We what III dew. III trade fun

Ii Numbered about midnight, and |
woke up and heard that mule talk still
going. At 8 o'clock l got up. Uncle
Billy was just riding away.
Well, how did YOU come out % ask

An Ancient Mexican Village.

One of the most interesting places in
Mexico is the old town of ~Zintzuntzin,
only twenty miles from Moreiia by the
main highway. In its palmy days, four
OF five centuries ago, it was the seat of
royalty, where was held the court Of the
ancient Kings of Michoacan; but now it
is a poor Indian village, its palaces de-
stroyed and its streets deserted Its few
poverty stricken inhabitants cling with
remarkable pertinacity to the customs of
their ancestors, and are r~efreshingly igno-
rant Of the doings of the world, for to
them the whole universe is bounded by
the nearby circle Of hills. Some exten-
sive ruins in the outskirts of the town
consisting chiefly Of curiously carved pill
lars and blocks of dressed stone are the
remains of the favorite residence of Cal
zonzi, the last monarch of Michoacan. In
all the fields hereabouts great blocks Of
porphyery may be found, having strange
hieroglyphicai figures wrought upon
them. The Indians heap them up in the
hedges, and man squalid hut has its
adobe walls eked out by remarkable
stones, whose queer carvings of frogs,
feathered serpents or crocodiles were
traced with patient art by hands that
have been dust perhaps 1000 years. In
this portion of Michoacan many mounds
exist which are supposed to be the deb
ris of ancient palaces, over which the
hands of time have drifted to a depth of
~seyaral feet. Doubtless if excavations
were made many ofthem would be found
to contain valuable antiquities, but the
dull inhabitants take no manner of inter-
est in the relics of a forgotten past. In
modern Z~intzuntzig a great deal ofpottery
is made, us quaint in shape and device
as that of ancient Egypt. According to
tradition and to picture histories painted
centuries ago by Tarrse Indians On the
woven flores of the maguey, much pro
visions" probably fish from the adjacent
lake. were carried by regular running
posts from Zintzuntzig to Montezuma's
palace, in Tenochtitlan, a distance of 800
miles, with such dispatch that they were
still smoking when placed on the Empe-
ror's table,-FdnRy Hard, IA Kansas City

Childish AmuSements of the
Japanese.

In many respects the japanese are "A
puerile people. The sports and games Of
the child and the youth are those of the
father and grandfather. The social dis
parity between father and son. mother
ana daughter, Is not - marked AZ il 9TH
er countries; the boy isa man in every
way but physically the duties of youth
are those of old age, and it is perhaps
owing TO this close relationship that the

the race nj large are nearly coincident.

little shows and performances, and Of in

term it, orientaiion, does no; seem diff

The atmospheric currents may aid, but II

Is Lager-Beer an Intoxicant?

when Il friend called upon him, and they
discussed several topics together, among
them as to what extent lager beer was an
intoXicant. The stone-cutter maintained
that beer was not Intoxicating, while his
friend maintained the opposite. The
stone-cutter said, there is IA man at work
in the yard pointing to a brawny-chest-
three gallons of beer ut one sitting and
feel none the worse for it. The friend
doubted, and a wager was made and the
workman called, who when asked if he
