They Marry Early,

"Mexicans may be slow in many

Nellie BLY, to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
THE laws OF Mexico claim girls at ~
and boys at 10 years are eligible to
marriage, and it is not an unusual
sight to see woman, who looks no
more than 35, a great-grandmother.
As children, the Mexicans are rather
pretty; but when girl passes 20 she
gets 'mucho-mucho' ayoirdupois, and
at 30 she sports q mustache and
galways' that would cause young
bachelors in the States to turn green
with envy. The men, on the contrary,
are slim and wiry, and do not boast
Of their hirsute charms, especially
when in company with women, as they
have little desire to call attention to
the contrast, and the diamond ring
finds other means of display than
stroking and twisting an Imaginable
mustaohe. Yet this exchange OF
charms interferes in no way with love
making. and the young man watts
sweet kisses from his fnger-tips to the

as much as if that black silky down
on her lip were fringing the gateway

How. 1. Horse Was Cured.

From the Nav York Times.
When y horse is afraidso paper =.
this one IS, :" said Prot. Gleason at the
Cosmopolitan Hall; INTRODUCES hin, to
the paper and teach him that it can,
not hurt him"
The subject he had was q handsome
dark brown horse belonging to we'll
known society lady. It was terribly
afraid Of flying paper, and has run
away three times and wrecked three
carriages when frightened by paper
blown across the street. Prof. Glea-
son, after he had taught the very in
telligent animal by q few minutes
use of the Bonaparte Birdie that it
was better to obey than disobey,
mounted the horses back.
Bring on the papers, Johnny" he
shouted, and the boy scattered a big
lot of papers in the ring. The horse
didn't like it q particle, and SHE'D,
reared and kicked at first, but with
steady hand the Professor guided him
up to piece after piece, until finally
the horse consented to walk over the
papers and kick them about All this
was done with only a>common bride
and surcingle on the animal. Then
he was harnessed and driven about in
the ring, and, before the Professor
sent him to the stable, stood perfect
~ still, in harness, while the Professor
assistants threw papers in the animals
face and shook them all about him.
He had developed a fondness for the
papers before he left the ring.
E. L. Davidson lives in Westchester,
and owns horse with coat in color
between dun and a roam. The
animal was extremely nervous and
hated to be bridled. His nervousness
made him a bad subject, but in an
hour and ten minuter the Professor
had subdued him so that he SUBJ
mitted to both bridling and harness
ing without opposition. Then Mr..
Davidson rose in his seat
in the gallery and told the
audience that Prof. Gleason had
never seen the animal until he was
brought into the ring, and further
stated that he had done with him
what no one else ever had and what
he never thought any one could do.
Save for a nervous trelnor in the
limbs, the animal stood perfectly quiet
while tn" band played, while pistols
were fired about him, and while the
pans, sleigh bells and drums made as
wretched noises as usually emanate
from q high-class Chinese orchestra.
A four-year-old colt belonging to q
Mr.. Corbett received his first lesson
in obedience and will soon be
put through the graduating exer-
cises. Prof. Gleason will also try and
cure a horse belonging to Mr.. Putney,
OF the Rossmore Hotel, which is a VIC
lent kicker.

Two Thousand Miles an Hour.

From the Times OF India, March 6.
Recently we referred to the fact of an
extraordinary brilliant meteor hay
ing flashed across the sky in this neigh.
borhood, and We invited communica-
tons upon it from any who might
have observed it. 1t seems that upon
the same night a. similar meteor was
observed in England. Now, under or
binary circumstances, there was moth
ing notable in this, for meteors are
known to be continually falling, it
having been calculated that many
millions of them fall annually to the
earth. But that one should fall OF
exceeding briliiance and be described
in almost Identical language by CORE
spondents in the Times and by our
selves is worthy ofnote and further
inquiry. We recorded that such me-
teor appeared at 1927 in the direc-
ton of east-southeast from Cumballa
Hill, from which place it was
seen. It was subsequently, reported
from Butnagherry that a. meteor was
seen there, but to the north. A cor
respondent wrote us from Mahablesh-
wur, who reported that he saw q very
bright meteor at 1880 Qocal time),
but the great difference in time point
ed to some error in recording theexact
appearance, or else proved that it was
some other meteor that was seen. In
England there was q meteor which
seems to have passed over London
about sos p. m, Greenwich time, OR
9:55 p. m. Bombay time. And it ap-
pears to have been travelling eastward.
It does not seem beyond the bonds Of
possibility that the neteors seen here
and in England were the same. The
absolute difference in time would thus
be two hours and thirty-two minutes,
which is equal to'the time taken to
travel the distance between these two
points. Assuming this distance to be
about 5, 500 miles, the rate at which the
meteor was travelling was about thirty
five and half miles q minute in the
Eearth's atmosphere. The rate at
which meteors travel in 1nterstellar
space is about forty to fifty miles per
second. So that the difference be-
tween these two rates Of speed shows
the retardationdn due to the earth's at
mosphere, always going upon the as
sumption that the meteor seen in Eng
land Was the same as that seen here.
To settle this point it win be OF inter
est to know il any ono between Bonn
bay and Londo ION noticed the brilliant
meteor Of January 16, and it would
also b nterosting.t TO know # any one
